Boston's Library.

Agreements have been signed for the
purchase of the old public library
building in Boylston street, Boston, by
the Frederick l.. Ames estate for $780,
600, and the formal transfer will be
made some time this month, according
to the Transcript. Forty-four years
ago the corner stone of the library
building was laid, and thrse years later
the building was completed and dedi-
Gated. After forty years of occupancy
for library purposes it was abandoned
for the new structure in Copley square.
Joshua Bates of England, a. banker
born in Massachusetts,, contributed
$4,000 toward the building fund, and
to this amount other donations were
added. The building cost $780,, 900 and
ut that time the number of books in
the reading room was 1925; number
of volumes in the library, 22O47,
Among the contributors of books we're:
Theodore Parker, 10000 volumes; Geo.
Tichnor, $500 volumes, including a. val
liable Spanish collection; the sons of
Dr. Nathaniel Bowditch gave their
fathers library of $500 volumes and
$500 in cash for the purchase of books:
Abbott Lawrence bequeathed SlO,0OO:.

AMERICAN LOCOMOTIVES.

English Workmen Have Many Objections
to Their introduction.
English workmen do not view with
complacency the introduction of the
American locomotives on the Midland
railway. They are not only an af-
front to their national pride, but they
see in them a positive menace to the
engineers trades union, which has
been one of the most powerful in all
Europe. The American locomotive is
placed on the rails in Great Britain
at a cost Of from 20 to 80 per cent less
than the British makers can produce
the same sort of machine. So the
working of the American locomotives
is watched with much more than ordi-
nary interest by men on both sides of
the ocean. If the machines can be
made thoroughly adapted to British
requirements at such a saving of cost
to the British railway companies, it
means that the British maker must
produce them at like cost or else
be thrown out Of the market. That
means lower wages to the British
workman. and against. that he will
fight with all his characteristic OBJ
stlnacy, as. he has to the introduction
OF labor saving machinery. Even the
long drawn out and disastrous strike
which made possible the Introduction
of the American locomotive, has not
taught them the whole of their lesson.
There is even now a proposition on
foot that the union of locomotive
drivers shall adopt a rule prohibiting
members from handling an American
made locomotive. when the engineers
union shall reach the conclusion if it
does. that the Introduction of the
American machine threatens seriously
the wages of their trade.

The railroad expert believes that the
number Of revenue tons hauled per
mile is the best indications of rail-
roads ability to handle traffic at the
lowest cost Of transportation. The Re-
ceivers Of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail
Road have been spending millions on
improvements, and have not completed
the work. But the revenue haul per
mile in 1S97-98 was increased to 314
tons, and special report for the three
months ending December 31st, 1898,
shows an average of 331.9 tons, quite
an appreciable advance.
1t is confidently expected that still
further improvement will be shown be-
fore long.

do not know what Mr. Howard re-
ceiVes, but the typical pay Of drama
tic author is per cent Of the gross re-
ceipts weekly. But there is no fixed
STANDARD OF payments. Some play;
wrights get a certain sum down and
the usual royalty OF 5 per cent. 9th
ers are paid on a sliding scale. One
noted pair of cola borators received for
one of their productions 6 per cent of
the gross receipts up to $4,000, and 1
per cent additional of each one thou
sand over that figure. AS their work
drew $4,000 week for the first six
weeks their managers had to pay them
$500 week for the use of their work.
In the case of purely theatrical back
work smaller prices are. paid, and the
rate is often fixed at so much a night,
s25 being good fee. For adaptations
royalties are seldom paid in this coun-
try. A manager usually hires a hack
dramatist and pays him a lump sum
for his work. For operetta adapta-
tions very small prices are paid; that
is why the adaptations are usually such
poor trash. No man who can do good
work can afford to accept the terms.
Original operettas, if successful, pay
both managers and authors very we'll.
