cult movements Of gun and foot drills with

luted the Judges and marched of amid

CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY
Ttanztsr to Be Made lasr Adjournment Of
OongryA
Arrangements Now I'm Progress-A
the New Rusading.

As soon as Congress sdjourns the Con-
gressicnal Library att the Capitol will be
closed for period, and the work of re-.
moving the books to the new building win
be commenced. Plans are now being ma
tured by; Librarian Spofford and Superin-
tendent Green for this great undertaking,
and Trey expect to get preliminary mat
tiers into such shape that the removal can
proceed without delay as soon as the legis-
lators are out Of the Capitol. 1t cannot be
estimated at this time how long the library
will be closed. The new Boston library.
which is but two-thirds the size Of the
Congressional Library, was shut down for
sever weeks during the removal from the
afterward before it was fully reorganized
in the new quarters. -
The Toner collection of books has al
ready beer transferred to the new Con-
of the library will be Installed in short
time, and such books as can be. spared
while Congress is in session are going over
from day to day. .,--.
The First Step.
The first step to be taken in the removal
of the msin body of the books will be to
construct wooden chutesc from the upper
shelves to the f1oor Of the present quar-
ters. The volumes will be shot down the
chutes and placed in boxes holding load
not too heavy for one man to lift. These
boxes are now stacked up in the new
building, ready for use. The filled boxes
will then be transported on trucks across
the rotunGa of the Capitol to the east
entrance. will shoot the chutes again and
be loaded into wagons for transportation
to the new quarters. where they will be
stacked away upon their proper shelves.
Books to BE Cleaned.
It Is proposed to give the books clean
ing during the removal. AS they are lifted
off the shelves. the dust will be shaken
from them vigorously. Then. when they
reach the new library building, Supt. Green
will put them through a course of cleaning
by means of a blower, which he has pre-
pared for the purpose, and 1t Is hoped that
when the books reach their new resting
places they will be in a more cleanly con-
dition than at present.
Applicants for Places.
Librarian Spofford is being overwhelmed
with applications for appointments in the
new library. He said today he has stopped
counting them. The number already on
file reaches up into the thousands to such
an extent he said, that he would not even
venture to estimate the aggregate. Every
mail brings a batch OFFS additional applica-
tions.

J0yable PRogFan.
The ;Universalist Church was croYded
last night by the friends Of Mrs. H. H.
Mills and her large class Of pupils. In
fact 30 great was the number Of her,
scholars that Mrs. Mills was compelled to
divide them into two programs, the first of
which was heard last night, and the second
installment, SO to speak, will be given at
the same place tomorrow evening. Many
Of those heard last night have already be-
cope well known through both church and
concert work. and their regulations are
living testimonials to the excellence OF
their teachers work, as well as to their
own industry and aptitude. The presence
of singers OF this description made the oc-
casfon of much more interest than the or
dinary pupils musicale, and the applause
that was given was spontaneous and gen.
ufne, and not out OF mere compliment to
the performer. A noticeable feature Of the
work of the singers was distinctness of
meaning of the work interpreted. There
were two quartets, one of ladies' voices, by
Misses Pollock, Potbury, Towne and Chase,
VINO did very well for a first appearance.
and the other comprising Messrs. Mooney,
MURDOCH, Meyers and Luebkert, who sang
Mendelssohn's Hunting Song with fine
effect, their voices being well balanced and
their singing being in both good time and
time.
There was one duet-from Romeo and
Juliet'-sung by Miss Mccullough and Mr..
Mooney in a pleasing manner. The solo
that made the best impression was Miss
Halleys "A Dream Of Paradise, with
violin and cello obligato, and next to that
was Mr.. Luebkert's spirited Interpretation
of Hadley's Egyptian War Song" a COM
position well suited to his rich and power
full baritone voice. Mr.. Meyers also has a
good baritone, Of higher range but Of great
power, and sang "The Chase in an excel
lent manner. The other numbers were Cha
minade's Silver Ring" and Weatherlys
THE Bee and the Song" well sung by
Miss Neuirs; Nevin's Beat Upon Mine.
