WILL STUDY LIBRARY SCIENCE
Three Young Omaha women Anxious
10 Perfect Their Ed
ucation.

At the last meeting of the Public Library
board permission was granted to three mem
beers of the library stan to take leaves of
absence during the summer to attend the
summer library schools for the purpose OF
perfecting themselves in their work. Those
TO whom this permission was granted are
Miss Margaret O'Brien, Miss Parsons and
Miss Hammond. According to present plans
these three young women will take the
courses offered by the Summer School Of
Library Science connected with the State
University Of Wisconsin at Madison, in
which lectures and class room work cover
a period OF eight weeks.
While this is not an entirely new depar-
ture, 1t is an indication that the require
ments of the Omaha public library are in
cTeasing and demand the best trained assist
ants that are available. Up to the present
time the employees of the library have been
recruited from among young women, chiefly
graduates Of the Omaha public schools who
present applications for positions. A few
years ago the applicants were required to
taken an examination intended to draw out
their information relating to literary topics

Accountants, bookkeepers and clerical en-
plOyes get from $50 to $50 per month and
the common labOrer about 81 per month in
gold.
Exports Of American manufactures are
over 81 1000, 600 a day.
More than 800, 900 sewing machines are
made In this country annually. which is 80
per cent Of the production of the world.
The success which has attended the Penn
s~ylvania railroad voluntary relief depart
ment Is attested In recent reports. During
1898 benefits aggregating $5lS,S44 We're paid
and the balance remaining after payment OF
all charges, with interest on balances, was
S215,33S. Aside from this there is a surplus
fund account of $685. $40, OF which 5000, 00D Is
Invested in 4 per cent securities, the balance
drawing interest at the same rate in the
hands of the company. Efforts are being
made to perfect a plan by which the income
from this surplus may be used for superan-
nuation pensions. In he thirteen ycnTs dur
ing which the department. has been in opera
ton there has been paid for disablement
1921, sos and for death claims, 81, 1913, SG1. In
addition there has been paid By the railroad

and give a better index to their qualifca-
lions.
The present librarian, Miss Tobitt, three
years ago took "A leave of absence for an en-
tire year to study library methods in the
east, the time being spent at the Pratt in
stitute in Brooklyn, n. y. Another of the
attendants, Miss Smiley, has had leave of
absence for a similar purpose, her time be-
ing devoted to the cataloguing of a private
library in New York City, together with
the observation Of libraries, public and pri-
vate, in that city.
When the three young women shall have
completed their course this summer and re-
turned to their work the library will have
the advantage Of having more trained as
sistants than it has ever had before. Miss
O'Brien expects to specialize upon the ar
rangement OF public document and the card
cataloguing of pamphlets issued by the gov
eminent, so that the large number of gov
eminent volumes now in the Omaha public
library will be made more accessible TO the
public. The other two young women Will
take up general library work in all its
branches, so that they may be familiar with
any departU mt to which they may be as
signed. In their absence their positions will
be filled by substitutes, so that they may
be re-employed without difficulty upon their
return.

Judge Alonzo G. Meyers was sitting under
a big tree in Brandon, Miss, one fine day,
exchanging experiences with Dr.. Hart, the
minister, and some more of the folks OF
Brandon. Judge Meyers has a circuit which
includes twenty-seyen counties and nineteen
of them are of the railroad lines. On that
account things happen to him once in >
while which he thinks are WORTH Tacountins,
This day it CHANGED that DR.. Hart's atten-
ton was attracted to Judge Meyers feet.
There was something peculiar about them,
TO tell the truth. They We're quite long. but
they were wide. and the judge made no at
tempt to conceal the fact. DR.. Hart had
very small feet, and ne was just as proud
of them as if he deserved any credit. He
had his boots made TO order and kept them
nicely polished, and otherwise sought to
direct attention to his cute little feet.

most important"
Commandant Cuignet, who made up
the secret dossier replying to Col Jou-
aust, explained that he omitted every
thing emanating from foreigners as in
terested matter misleading to France.
M. Temps, a special commissary of
the railway police, deposed that he pho
tographed the bordereau by order of
Col. Sa1dherr. He had not mutilated
the plate with a view to concealing
marks upon the document. When the
fac-simile of the bordereau was pub
lished Col. Picquart ordered the wit
ness to discover who had supplied the
Photographic copy
NJ. Temps detailed successive steps in
his Investigations, showing how Lieut.
Col. Henry and Commandant Lauth
had brought pressure to bear to make
him implicate Lieut. Col. Picquart and
told of their angry threats when the
witness report did not suit them They
accused the witness of being infu-
enced by some one.
Replying to M. Demange, NJ Temps
replied that EsterEazy knew the report.
Esterhazy had been seen at a foreign
agents residence. which had two exiles
and had other suspicious relations.
Witness had found confederation Of
this.
The court then retired to deliberate
on the subject of holding another Sc
cret session. When the member re-
turned, Col. Jouaust announced that
there would be a sitting in camera to-
morrow.
The name of Seige Basset was then
called. Mr. Barrett IS the London cor
respondent of the Matin, who fur
nishes the Esterhazy interviews and
NM. Labori and Demange pointed out
that the Esterhazy confessions were
too important to be discussed at the
flag end of the day At the suggestion
of the counsel for the defense, the court
martial therefore adjourned at 11.4o.

FIRST AMERICAN HILO BANK

Before leaving Hilo, President Cecil
Brown of the First American Bank au-
thorized the following statement in
the Tribune:
I'VE shall open n banking business
here on the first week In January. We
shall do a general foreign exchange
through our Honolulu house, and hope
to receive a reasonable share of local
deposits. We shall not, probably, make
any loans for the first six months; we
want to become thoroughly acquainted
with the field and with the nature of
securities here. We shall occupy the
offices on the Waianuenue and Bride
street corner of the Masonic Building.
am not prepared to make public any
statements regarding any building
operations In the future
With reference to certain erroneous
reports should like to say, that this
purpose of ours to establish a bank
here was not caused by Mr.. Peck's pro-
ject upon the same line, nor is 1t any
sudden attempt on our part to forestall
him. Our articles of Incorporation
contained provision for the estab-
lishment of a branch here and we were
making preparations for this very pur-
pose long before Mr.. Peck announced
his intention. Whether Mr.. Peck has
withdrawn from the field or not do
not know"

GIVE THE DEPARTMENTS
MONEY.

In the palmy days when the dispo-
sition Of the treasury surplus was agi-
tating the public mind, the Bulletin
maintained that the situation warrant
ed action by the Council of State to the
extent of appropriating the money re-
quired by the administration depart
ments to meet the constantly increas-
ing demands. With steadily increas-
Ing work thrown upon the educational.
health and police departments. we have
found these departments steadily re-
trenching on accoIat of the shortage
Of funds at their disposal. Money was
lying idle in the treasury when work
that might be accomplished, work that
ought to be carried on. was left I'M
done and the people awaited serious
emergency before calling upon the
legislative authority for remedial ac-
ton.
Whether Chinatown would have been
i'm better condition had $4,000 been
placed at the disposal OF the Board OF
Health three months ago, we will not
attempt to say. The Bulletin does not
favor the tendency to snap judgment
when crisis arises. and the public has
thus far failed to consider whether the
municipal work of the department has
not been carried on as thoroughly as
the money at hand would allow. Nor
do we believe anything is gained by
assuming the I-told-you-so attitude
II the public had demanded more work
and furnished the wherewithal to do 1t,
there certainly could be no possible
excuse for the present condition of
affairs. During the past week the his
tory of the early days of the cholera
