CURRENT MISCELLANY.

As the now Congressional library at
Washington is now in full running or
der 1t is at least possible TO make intel
ligent comment upon some of its meth
ods of operation. Although primarily
intended for the use OF members Of the
federal legislature the Congressional Ii
hrary is also open to the public, and it
would seem, therefore. that catalogue
of some kind should be available to the
general readers. Such is not the case
however, as congressman only have ao.
cess to the catalogue.
As the law provides that copy of
every copyrighted book published in the
United States shall bo presented to the
library there is an enormous collection
OF books upon great variety of sub.
jects, good, bad and indifferent. but
there is, on the other hand, remark
able paucity Of standard literary works,
especially of those published in other
countries. a student of Italian litera-
ture recently presented list of 15
classical works in that language at the
librarian IS desk and was told that none
of them was in the collection. 1t was
said, in fact, that the library had had
but one Italian book, and that had been
lost.
1t was learned ON further inquiry
that the principal use made of the libra
ry by congressman is to obtain the
latest novels for the ladies of their fem.
lilies. Occasionally soma curious requi-
sitions come from congressman In search
OF knowledge, as was oxemplified in
recent memorandum order sent TO the
Librarian for copy of the "Enoyolope.

The Chinese as nrethema.icians.

Cambridge university has had re-
markable proof of the mathematical
genius of the Chinese. Some time ago
much surprise was caused among math-
ematioians generally by the discovery
among the papers of the late Sir Thomas
Wade of Chinese fame Of evidence that
in the time of Confucius the Chinese
knew an equation which only became
known in Europe during the last CEN
tury, when it was discovered by Fermat,
and has since been known as Fermat's
equation. But the Chinese version re-
Gently discovered stated that the equa-
tion did not hold with regard to certain
numbers. This puzzled the mathemati
clans, and all efforts to solve the point
have hitherto failed. Now, however, a
young undergraduate of Trinity college,
Cambridge. has demonstrated that the
Chinese were right, and his solution is
frankly admitted by the experts to be
perfect. The correspondent understands
the result is shortly to be published nt

Macy q. oRosRY WRECKED.

Branfnrd, Conn. December %. The
three masted schooner Mary e. Crosby
of Portsmouth, N. H.. Capt. A. l.. Cum
niings, was wrecked on Wheaton's Reef,
off the Thimble islands early this morn
ing. At day the vessel was dis,
covered from Stony Creek and it was evil
dent that she was in serious straits.
Shortly after o'clock Capt Cummings,
with his crew of five men, came ashore
at Stony Creek. A high northwest
wind kicked up heavy sea and the yes
sci was going rapidly to pieces.
Capt Cummings stated that the vessel
was bound from Perth Amboy to New
Bedford with s cargo of coal. A terrific
gale prevailed on the sound during the
night and at O'Clock this morning the
Crosby ran aground on Wheaton IS Reef,
which outlines the Thim5les, about one
mile off shore.
At 80 O'Clock Capt. Cummings sent
the mem bers of his crew to New Bedford
by the Shore Line railroad, while he re-
NAMED to witness the disappearance of
his vessel shortly before noon New
Haven tug arrived, hut was unable to do
anything toward saving the schooner and
she was finally abandoned.

was Ill feet long. 90 feet beam and SO

WIDOW LOSES HER ALL.

Mrs. Hill is an invalid, suffering from a

She lived alone in her house. Tuesday
forenoon she arose and fixed the fire, and
then returned to her bed. There were
some kindlings behind the stove and the
heat ignited them, the blaze soon commu

The sick woman discovered the fire. but
WAS unable to subdue it. and she barely
managed to escape from the nurning

HOW CUBANs WILL BE PAID.

Washington, December 26.-Negotiations
ara progressing in the matter of the pay
ment of Cuban troops so as they lay down
their arms & ey may be enabled to enter
upon civil pursuits and earn their living.
Probably no further appropriation by
Congress will be necessary to enable the
President to carry out the plan if it
should be decided, as it will probably be,
to advance money, charging it against
the revenues of Cuba. to pay the Cubans
part of the money due for their service in
the Cuban army. This debt is not an
obligation resting upon the United States.
but is one for which the Cuban govern
ment will be Obliged on its establishment
on an independent basis: The special
deficiency appropriation bill carries an
item of three million dollars as an emer-
gency fund which the government may
use for any purpose, and the idea is to ad :
vance the money for the payment OF the
Cuban soldiers out of this fund. 1t is I'M
derstood, however, that the President has
not yet consented to this arrangement.

WARDEN FORCED TO RESIGN.

Hartford. CT, Dec. 2S.--At special
meeting of the state prison directors
held in this city this afternoon, the res
Equation of Warden Woodbridge was
formally requested aud upon receipt Of
the communication from the board, the
warden rendered his resignation to go
into effect at the option of the directors.
The action is the sequel of the recent
conviction of FL. Kirk Woodbridge, son
of the warden, recently sentenced to
state prison for five years for defalcations
committed while a clerk in the prison.
AS stated in the CO mmunication, the
board doe S not for moment entertain
the belief that Warden Woodbridge is in
any manner personally implicated in the
defalcation but it was deemed for the
best interests of the state and to save
embarrassments for both the directors
and the warden. now that his son is a
convict, that change be made in the
wardenship.
