REMOVING THE LIBRARY.
A Task Requiring Much Labor and
Yet More Skill.
New Congressional Library Buildin &
Now Receiving the Treasures
So Long Housed in the
Capitol.
tspecial washington Letter

Especial washington Letter.
The rooms in the capitol building
which for years have accommodated the
congressional library are closed to the
public.
For more than ten years past the let
crary wealth of the library of con-
gracefully piled and scattered about,
cluttering up the floors and passage
ways, and bulging out from the over
crowded racks and shelves.
This disgraceful scene will never be
witnessed again. The old library is
permanently closed, and the new Ii
brary is about to be permanently
opened. On the Saturday following the
recent adjournment of congress, the
new librarian Ion j Ohm Russell Young,
closed the Old library for the purpose
of transferring TO the new library
building its books, it's treasures, its Gu
rios. its Klondyke mines of golden in
telligence. When all of these valuable
volumes are seen again by the public
they will be in perfect order on the
commodious stacks and shelves in the
attractive halls of the most beautiful
library building in the world.
The decision of Librarian Young to
close the library so soon after the adj
journment of congress was born of
necessity. The work of removal is q
stupendous task. To finish this, and to
open the library again with the least
possible inconvenience to those who
frequent it, were the two objects to be
aimed at. The number of readers grows
less as summer advances, and increases
pgain with it's end and the coming fall.
There are over 100000 volumes to be re
moved and arranged in the new build
ing. The accumulation of other ma
terial is enormous. 1t is in different
rooms, alcoves and stories. Some is on
shelves, some in chaotic heaps, some
is classified, and much is unclassified.
The question how to safely and ex-
peditiously remove this matter from
these places, and retain its classifica-
ton, and put it all so that 1t will be 1t
once available, was discussed at length
by Mr.. Young, Mr.. Spotrord, Mr.. Hutch
euson and Superintendent Green, who
is charged by law with the work of
removal.
1t was considered as an engineering
problem. system of carding the books

Ingenious English s,,opkecper.

An English shopkoeper carefully
watches the birth announcements in
the Gai!y papers every morning. BY
this means he is able to know the birth
day of practically every child in the
country whose parents are likely to in

The date of each child's birth, together
with the address of its parents. he care
fully writes down in huge folio. which
he calls his birthday chart. BY refer
ring to this chart he knows when his
youthful clients birthday is approach
ing, and couple Of days beforehand he
sends the parents carefully selected
specimens of gifts suitable to the childs
age. 1t hardly ever happens that his
stock is returned without a selection
being made, as the mothers are so de-
lighted with his thoug that
they haven't the heart to rebuff him.

leaving only about 60 places with small
solaries to be filled.
The removal of the national library
from the capitol to the new library
building will result in the enlarging of
the crypt under the great rotunda.
When the Toner collection was received
by the library about 16 years ago, brick
walls were built just back of the second
row of columns, in the crypt, thus con-
verting the outer circumference into
apartments for the temporary occupan-
cy of the collection given by DR.. Toner.
The building of these apartments cov-
cred up the windows of the crypt, and
yesterday they were uncovered to the
gaze of the public for the first time in
16 years
Now that the books OF this collection
have been removed to the new build
ing. workmen have begun to tear down
these obstructing walls. and the vault
ed chamber will be restored to its orig
inal beautiful design. The crypt will
be not only beautifed, but it will be
increased in space to nearly three

Those who have passion for gam

class nearly as numerous as those who
gamble at all, might we'll consider the
recent announcement that a dividend of
Si,000.000 for last year has been declared
by the stock company running the gam
ing tables at Monte Carlo.
That amount, says the St. Louis Globe
Democrat, is the interest on S100, 0,OCO,-

profit
There are about 100000 visitors year
at Monte Carlo, and as, in addition to
the dividend named, they pay the ex-
penses of the gambling resort. with its
thousand attaches, they will not be dis
posed to deny that gambling is high

Though there is a tradition that
somebody occasionally breaks the bank
at Monte Carlo, its dividends are never
seriously affected.

NEW CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY

as they start, and numbering the new
stacks, was finally settled upon. Chutes
will be built TO slide the books in boxes
down the front steps Of the capitol. The
men will load the boxes in wagons, and
at the new library these boxes viii
he received and carried to their places.
y plan showing every deck. and shelf,
and division OF the shelves has been
prepared, very much like diagram of
the seats Of a thcater. Each box of
books will go to certain seat, SO to
speak, and that Seat will be crossed off
, as box is sent out, properly marked.
In this way no confusion can result.
As the various classes Of books in the
old library are widely scattered, it win
take some time to properly card and
number them. 1t is this work which is
to be done first. The entire force of
lhe library except the copyright clerks,
are now at work on this task. No ad-

concerned, there will be no centennial

give up such laudable enterprise, we

manifested in the matter There is but
one hope left and that was expressed
by Prof. j. P. WeetLee in a recent let

SOCIAL EVENTS.

A very pleasant social party and
dance was given by the grape -pickers
and clippers of the American River dis
trict on last Friday evening at Enter
prise Hall, Walsh's Station. 1t was
a success in every respect, about eighty
couples participating.
The hall was tastefully decorated
with chysanthemums and grape vines,
and Fisch & Leddy's Orchestra of Sac
ramentO rendered choice dance music
until 11:3O, when lunch, prepared by
the young ladies of the district, was
served in an original manner, very ap-
propriate to the occasion.
A march was played, and as they
circled the hall the second time each
gentleman was handed a grape basket
neatly covered with a japanese paper
napkin. When all were served they
took their seats and opened the baskets
which contained sandwiches, cake, etc.
About II o'clock there was a mys-
teTious gathering of young ladies
around the music stand, the object OF
which was demonstrated when at a
given signal Thomas Leddy, the pop
ular musician was enveloDed in a
shower of rice, the result of his having
been married only two days before.
After lunch dancing was resumed and
continued until the small hours Ed
ward Mouton acted as floor director,
assisted by Misses Kate Brown Susie
Ford and Lille Waite.

Amateur Photography

a pretty good story was sprung the
other night at a social gathering, which
may prove of interest TO amateur pho

rated by one of the chief actors in the
affair."
The conversation had drifted toward
amateur photography and its progress
in recent years. One of the crowd. who
probably cannot now tell the difference
between a kodak and a tripod, listened
FOR awhile to the heated discussion be-
tween two of his companions as to the
relative merits of this developer and
that developer. of that plate and this
plate and Of this and that lens, and it
was a relief to the others when he quiet

had quit photography long ago. a
snicker went through the crowd. and.
wishing to turn the conversation, the
young man in question was asked to
relate his experience. He said:
1T was about nine or ten years ago
when this happened. At that time we
didn't know a thing about a dry plate.
We used to make cur own wet plates.
These fellows in the Camera Club don't
know what photography IS" he said.

ADJUSTMENTS.

There was not a crowded house as on
the first night, but very large au-
dience at the Metropolitan last evening
when the Elleford company played the
melodrama New York Day by Day"
Jessie Norton as a street gamin and
as a messenger boy was at her best and
in one scene, where she personated a
policeman, she was called back no less
than four times, singing different
song on each recall to the great delight
of the upper tier, and received also the
warm applause of those in the lower
section. Mr.. Elleford as a Dutch sau-
sage vender was very successful in the
dialect part and made merry through
out the play, which is of the most sem
sational order, evidently drawn from
the extravagant yellow covered cheap
romances. But it was we'll played, and
gave opportunity for some especially
good character acting, notably in the
cases of Miss Maitland and James Cor
rigan. Tonight the company will pre-
sent tie romantic melodrama, with

MURDERER BAUMANN TALKS.
HE TELLS A VERY THIN STORY
OF THE SHOOTING.
Says His Wife First Shot Him, and
Then He Shot and
Killed Her.

Stefan Baumann, the man Who on
Saturday last shot and killed his Wlfe
at their home, 323 N street, yesterday
morning made and signed a voluntary
statement giving his version of the al
fair.
Before beginning his story Baumann
was informed that anything he might
say would probably be used against
would be entirely voluntary. The state
ment was made in the presence of CITY
Attorney Brown, Chief of Police Drew
and Martin McManus, the hospital
nurse and is as follows:
She threw me out and had other men

came in and she threw me out She
said there was a man boarding at the
William Tell House that she wanted
to have come and live with her. She
did not want me any more. She wanted
to throw me out again.
Il was sitting in chair. She threw
my overcoat out and slapped my face.
She said she had a pistol and would
shoot me. She went into another room.
| told her that | had a pistol, If she
wanted to shoot me. l laid my pistol
on the table. She came out and picked
it up and shot me. / went out in the
back yard and blood was running down
my face. l called with my fingers to
some of the neighbors, and went into
the house The pistol was lying on the
table and l picked it up and shot hec,
and then laid on the floor where she
was.
Il told her that / wanted her to live
with me, but she said she would not;
| that she did not want me any more
l told her that 1 would take care of
her, and that she could have what she
wanted, but she would not have me
and wanted another man.
Il was living on the ranch and she
was here doing as she pleased with
other men. I told her a long time ago
that l wanted her for wife for me,
and not for other men,"
Baumanns story does not coincide
with the statements of the neighbors
who heard the shots, as they are posi-
| tive that both were fired before Bau-
| mann appeared on the back porch.
When found after the shooting Mrs
Baumann was lying with a dish-cloth
and some dishes beside her, and had
evidently been clearing her table when
| the crime was committed, and on this
point also Baumann's story is weak.

SUSPECTED HORSE THIEF.
ARREST OF EX-CONVICT CHAS
BROOKS.
Wanted for the Theft of q Mare
From the Rancho
del Paso.

In February, 1896, a valuable sorrel
filly was stolen from the Rancho del
Paso Deputy Constable William Bris-
sci. who looks after the property OF
this vast tract of land, after months
of searching finally discovered the tilly
on a ranch in Sutter County. j. Bar
ham, in whose possession the animal
was found, stated that he had bought
the animal from a man named Charles
Brooks for the sum of SO. Brooks
claimed to have been obliged to ac-
cept the animal in payment for his
wages from a man for whom he had
been working.
When Brooks learned that Brissel
had discovered the filly he at once fed,
and all efforts to locate him proved
futile. The matter was finally placed
in the hands of Sheriff Johnson. to-
gether with a picture and description
of Brooks.
Last night, about o'clock, the Sher-
if and County Detective Max P. Fisher
We're walking up K street, and when
nearing Ninth street they noticed a
man who bore a resemblance to the
picture Of Charles Brooks Engaging
him in conversation the officers soon
became convinced that they had the
right man and at once locked him up
in the County Jail.
Brooks is an ex-convict, having been
convicted in 1885 Of horse stealing in
San Joaquin County, and for a period
Of three years he was known as Con
vict No. 622" of Folsom Prison
Like all old criminals, Brooks. when
taken into Sheriff Johnson's private Of
flee, tried TO deny his identity, and
even when Detective Fisher showed him
his photograph. which is fairly good
likeness, he still insisted that he was
not the man.
Fisher, however. is not easily de-
ceived, and stripping his man he soon
discovered the tell-tale marks which
the prison records Of Folsom called for
in the description given of him.
As ne was being led toward his cell
Brooks only remark was, You can't
fool these fellows very WELL
