That well meant ardor and en-
thusiasm of the good ladies can go
too far can be we'll illustrated by the
following. story, which our dickey
bird, who had been listening at the
Red Cross lazaretto whispered to
us. The r. G. ladies are all anxious
to do something for the brave pa
tients at thelazaretto, and they are
untiring in helping and comforting
the poor fellows, who were prevent
ed from following their comrades
to Manila. Dickey bird says that it
was nearly l o'clock in the after
noon, when lady entered the sick
room at the lazaretto and enquired
into the health of a soldier who
thanked her for her solicitude and
kindness. "But / must do some
thing for you," said the good lady,
"allow me to wash your face"
"If it is pleasure to you, ma'am,
answered the soldier with a groan
and a resigned sigh, "go ahead and
do it, but remember this is the
sixteenth time to-day that l have
had my face washed and it is not
| o'clock yet"

What benefit is to be derived by

children and the best methods OF

Colonel Parker yesterday made an
eloquent address about child and
nature. We don't know the class of
children he has met, but to us they
seem unreal and undesirable. We
quote the following "gem" from his
address: Fishing is a relic of
savagery. A boy takes his lines
down to the brook to satisfy an in
stinct to be alone with nature. 1t
is the instinct that brings the soul
out face to face with the Great God
of the Universe"

We compliment the ladies of the
so-called Red Cross on their work
in the interest of humanity and the
energy which they have shown in
carrying out the program of the

confne their labor to their own

selves the erection of a United States
marine lazaretto in Honolulu.

CIRCULATING MUSIC,
A Popular Department of the Brook
lyn Library.

Iyn Library.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.
The Brooklyn Library established it's de
partmcnt of music in the autumn of 1882.
The idea of circulating music in the same
manner as books was suggested by one Oh
the directors of the library, who supple
mented his suggestion in most practical
manner by supplying funds for the pur-
chase of 400 volumes The selection OF
this music was made by competent man
at that time connected with large mu-
sic importing house in New York and, in
deed, in the several additions subsequently
made the selection has been made by -:cer
of musical education and possessing
wide acquaintance with the works of the
most noted con. Dosers and therefore bet
ter fitted for the requirements of the case
than a librarian more closely acquainted
with books than with music. The collec-
tiCn is largely for single piano Cwo hands,
this being most in request, hut there is
much that is arranged under other head
frgs. such as. Piano Duets -four hands,.
Two Pianos" eight hands, Violin and
Piano Vocal Music Songs Orator
ios,' Operas and the like.
The rules for circulation are the same as
with books. Readers who apply first for
work that is in demand set what they re-
quire without delay; others necessarily
wait until later as is usual in a circulating
volumes, exclusive of works on the theor!
and practice of music and musical biogra-
phieS. The annual circulation from thi.
class is about 5000 volumes. Two or three
special bulletins have been issued devoted
to music alone The more recent addition:
are given under a separate heading In :ht
book bulletins occasionally published. Bu
for use at the library the collection
given In one complete list under the usua
headings in a Rudolph lndeXer Book, in
card catalogue.
On the whole, the musical department
has been very much appreciated and ha
proved a satisfactory investment. Its use

study music and who recognize the ad
vantage of a large collection from whicl
to mako selections for home practice.

THE FOOTBALL SETTLEMENT
BOTH PARTIES ARE NOW THOR
oUGHLY SATISFIED.
The Athletic Club and the Two
Colleges Make Novel Agree ,
ment for the
Season.

The Olympic Club directors decided to
equip and support football elevens on
Friday morning. For over two months
the matter of putting a team in the field
which would wear the red and white or
the Olympic Club received the most care
full attention from the officers of that
institution, and for time there was a
deadlock between the managers of the
college teams on one side and the direc-
tors of the club on the other. An agree
ment was reached last week by Managers
Brown of the University of California and
Prichard of Stanford and the Olympic
Club directors by which, the Olympic
Club is to receive $500 from the colleges,
and out of that sum they guarantee to
furnish team which will play six games,
three with each university.
- There is an interesting story back of
this agreement which shows that the col
lege men did not dictate the terms this
year At first the athletic clubs, the Re
lance of Oakland and the Olympic OF this
city, came together and decided that IL
either determined to organize a team the
other would not. This agreement was
reached for self protection. The football
season is necessarily limited to the
months of October and November, and as
games can be played on Saturdays only
the schedule would also be necessarily
limited to six games, counting Saturday
for the freshman game and the looping

Were two athletic clubs to enter teams
the revenue would not be sufficient for
either to support an eleven, and both
clubs were resolved not to organize
team If the expense of conducting 1t
would not be met by the returns.
AS the Olympic Club expressed a desire
to form an eleven the Reliance Club gra-
ciously withdrew from the field. Then
managerial contest was fought out, the
"details of which have never been pub
lished The Olympic Club made a stand
for the entire net revenue to be derived
from the six games which 1t would play
with the Stanford and California. To
this proposition the college managers
turned a frigid shoulder They claimed
that 1t was preposterous; that all the
Olympics were really entitled to was 60
per cent share of the net proceeds. The
Olympics manager refused to listen to
this offer and negotiations were cut off
Then the college managers saw that
further concessions would have to be
made and they raised 10 per cent, but this
was not, satisfactory to the Olympic Club.
The percentage share went up until the
college managers were offering So per cent
of the net returns of all matches to be
played. The Olympics still held out, and
then negotiations broke off again.
This was some few weeks. ago. Be
