The daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Ind. Ter. [Okla.]) 1898-1902, 1898-11-11

Professor and Mrs. D. W. G.
Duncan cane down from their
home at Vinita Tuesday. They
were enroute to Tahlequah to
spend few weeks with relatives
and friends. Professor Duncan
has become somewhat famous in
recent years in his articles in the
Vinita Chieftain under the nom de
plume Of "Too- qua-stee." TO a
Record reporter he expressed
doubts as to the Cherokee coun-

HOUSE BUILDING.
Care Should He Taken to Provide

(From Harper's Bazar)
That part of the foundation which is
seen-the underpinning-should have lib
eral spaces left for cellar windows, for a
dark cellar lends itself TO much insalubri-
Gus concealment of decaying vegetables,
and promotes the growth of molds and
other low organisms inimical to health.
In planning the cellar make it deep
enough to accommodate tall furnace.

treat it to good coat of lime whitewash.
Our grandmother knew that Timing the
cellar made 1t delightfully."- sweet smelling,
but it remained for modern science to
demonstrate that lime is one of the most
effective microbe killers. A coast of plas-
tering, applied to wire lathing over
head, will be an additional barrier to bad
odors and great hindrance to fire
originating in the cellar. To prevent the
ground about the house from being sat
urated with moistures from the roofs,
thoroughly constructed cutters and rain
leaders should be provided.
We now reach what women generally
consider the house. Many people mag
inc that very high ceilings are vitality es-
sential to pure air. A radical mistake.

The Free Public Library Almost
Ready for Occupnncy

If plans do not fail and carpenters. fres-
with their work on time, the new home of
the Washington Free Public Library, 1926
New York Avenue, will be ready for oc-
cupancy within a week.
Then the books, furniture and library
appurtenances will be transferred from
the old city library building in II Street.
The new headquarters will be in a COM
modious three-story building, one of the
old colonial mansions of Washington. 1t
has been handsomely fitted up all the ap-
pointments being just what pertains TO a
comfortable modern library.
The free library now has l1.O00 volumes.
and 1000 additional ones will be added as
soon as the new building is occupied. The
basis for the establishment of the Free
Public Library was the old City Library.
1t is supported by taxation. just the same
as the schools, and besides, receives aid
from private subscriptions. This year the
appropriation from the District will
amount to over S,co0. and, besides. $500
has already been donated by citizens OF
this latter sum 81, 600 was given by Mr.
Crosby S. Noyes and s., COO by the firm of
Woodward & Lathrop.
The Washington Free Library was es-
tablished in 1886 1t was the result of per-
sonal private effort and was largely
maintained by subscriptions from persons
interested. Its development was remark
able, and its usefulness was generally
recognized, but its income was never

maintenance of a free library, and finally
in June. 1886, library in connection with
the school system was authorized, TO be
controlled by board of nine trustees
No appropriation, however. was made for
its support, and successive efforts to Sc
cure an appropriation were unavailing.
The trustees were appointed by the Dis
trlct commissioners, and have organized
and performed some preliminary work.
During the last session of Congress
provision was made in the District ap.
preparation bill appropriating s.. 500 for the
rental and maintenance of suitable quar-.
tiers, and S3,200 for the salary of a libra
rian and two assistants, in all &C. 200
