A NEW CATALOGUING METHOD.
THE BLUEPRINT PROCESS DEVISED BY
DR. RUDOLPH, OF CHICAGO.

DR.. Alexander j. Rudolph Of the Newberry
Library, Chicago, has, according to THE Chi
cago Post" invented a new method Of printing
library catalogues 1t Is the blue print process,
and will, he says. greatly reduce the expense.
besides making it possible to keep his cata
logues constantly up to date. Just at present he
is at work printing in one alphabet the 100000
new entries of the British Museum catalogue
that have accumulated since the publication Of
the great folio catalogue of that library. These
100000 entries are now in 447 alphabets. and to
reprint them in alphabet in the usual folio
form Of the Museum catalogue would cost not
far from 100000 DR.. Rudolph expects to print
them all in one alphabet by his process at a cost
Of about 5000
The process is a simple one. The entries are
crred and arranged in strict alphabetic
order, and placed with printed side next to plate
glass. Beneath the glass is placed the sensitized
paper, then thick felt. and a board in three sec
tions, hinged. making all fit snugly. Preliminary
arrangements are made in a darkened room or
in yellow light. When exposed in the printing
frame the paper is turned from light yellow to
blue. and when washed fine dark. permanent
blue is secured. The original copy must be white
and translucent. II there is printing on both
sides of the slips. they must be split. To make
the copy translucent the back of the slips must
be sponged with an equal mixture of castor oil
and alcohol.
DR.. Rudolph expects that his process will be
highly useful in making strictly accurate copies
of legal records. for the sun is faithful. and
copies everything which printers. proofreaders
and copyists do not always accomplish. He also
expects to apply the process in printing an elab-
crate analytical index Of the works in the New
berry Library on genealogy and local history
and kindred subjects. we'll as to the printing
Of the general catalogue Of that library.

with them the taking away Of the gallant men

Shortly after the solemn words. Dust to dust,

standing at the head Of the collins threw their
handfuls Of earth upon the narrow houses Of
their former comrades, three volleys were fired
across the graves, and James OLeary. trum-

CEMETERY
CEMETERY.

Washington, April 15--There has been no
more impressive ceremony in connection with
the war than the burial on Thursday Of last
week of the 325 soldiers whose bodies were
brought from Cuba and Porto Rico to lie beside
the honored dead Of previous wars who tenant
Arlington. The hour for the services was placed
at O'clock but not long after sunrise thin
line of people began to make their way toward
the city Of the dead. BY o'clock this line had
become a compact procession, which continued
well into the afternoon and long after the SER
vices were finished Some fifty thousand people
were present. including farmers who came
from miles around in vehicles Of nondescript
character, and villagers from the vicinity. The
crowd was a reverent one, obedient and sub
missive to those doing patrol duty. and many
carried loads of flowers and wreaths OF laurel
with which they decked the collins
President Mckinley and his Cabinet. the COM
mandng General Of the Army. the judges of the
Supreme Court, notable members of the diplo-
matte Corps and other high officials were among
those who present at the exercises. in
honor Of which the executive departments of
the Government were closed at noon and the
flags on the buildings lowered to half-mast.
In the same carriage with the President were

The scene one approached the burial
ground was a memorable one. To every soldier
was given a single grave. and long lines Of
collins draped with American flags had been
placed on crossbeams over the pits dug to re-

buried were unknown. but the collins containing
the bodies Of the others were marked in plain
letters with their names and the numbers Of the
regiments in which they served. All the ar
raneements were dignified. ard conducted In
such a way that no ones sensibilites were Of

LEES SURRENDER.
HIS REPORT TO PRESIDENT DAVIS NOW
PUBLISHED FOR THE FIRST TIME.
THE, MOVEMENTS OF THE CONFEDERATE CAB
met IMMEDIATELY BEFORE AND
AFTER APPoMATToX.


The last two weeks, beginning with Sunday.
April .. have been the thirty-fourth anniversary
Of great events in American history-the capt
ure of Richmond and fight Of the Confederate
Government. Lees surrender to Grant at Apo
mattox. and the assassination Of Abraham Lin
coin within week afterward.
From the last volume lin three parts) of the
Rebellion Records, covering the fall OF Peters
burg and Richmond and the surrender at APP
pomattox. some new. interesting and valuable
historical facts CLEANED. From numerous
official reports and letters therein published for
the first time may be traced the last move
ments Of the Confederate Government until it
finally disappeared in the swamps OF Georgia.
After President Davis and his Cabinet aban-
doned Richmond about p. m. of April =. 1860.
they proceeded by the Richmond and Danvile
Railroad to Danvile. on the borders OF North
Carolina This flight was compelled by the de-
feat of the Confederate General Pickett at Five
Forks on the 1st and the breaking OF Lees
lines at Petersburg on the morning OF the I'd by
Grants general assault. and Lees announcement
to the Richmond authorities by telegram that
he must abandon Petersburg that night. 1t was
at Danve. or in its vicinity. on line behind
the Roanoke River. that Lee intended to take
I'D a new line had he escaped from the meshes
of the Union Army So that Danville where
President Davis thus temporarily located his
government, was favorably situated. both in

as well as with a view to its safety from the ad-
vances of the Union forces. On the 18th he is
sued his memorable proclamation. asserting that
the cause was not lost and promising his people
to maintain the contest to the last.
1t appears that the Secretary Of War. John c.
Breckenridge. did not accompany the rest of the
Government through to Danville. Mr.. Davis
states in a telegram from Danvlle to General
Lee dated the 9th, the very day OF Lees sur
render at Appomattox. that he is very much
embarrassed by the absence OF the Secretary
Of War. Quartermaster-Ge General. Commssary-
General and Chief Engineer" who had not yet
arrived This new correspondence shows that
breckenridge had stopped off at some convenient
Mace on the railroad to join and observe the
operations of Lees army soon as 1t got clear
of Grants pursuit. for he telegraphed to Davis
ION the 8th, from Red House) the news that Lee

had successfully got away from Petersburg and
had concentrated around Amelia Court House, on
the line of the Richmond and Danve Railroad,
on the 9Th. but that the Union forces had head
ed them off at Burkeve Junction. further south
and west the same day. In fact. Confederate
telegraph operator says that the Junction had
been occupied by the Union cavalry at 3:lO
p m. Of the 4th
General Breckenridge informed the PresideHs
that he had parted from General Lee at Farm
vile on the 7th. He closes this telegram thus:
THE struggling has been great. and the situa-
ton is not favorable. We will join you as soon
possible"
After setting up at Danville, Mr.. DAVIS en-
tered with energy upon the work of admlnistra-
ton. He evidently felt that the abandonment
Of Virginia, even though the army should be
saved and a successful concentration effected
with Johnston behind the Roanoke, was great
blow to the cause morally. because he uses this
significant language to Lee. who was Vir-
gnan. in the telegram previously quoted from:
I'VE have here provisions and clothing for your
army. and they are held for your use. You will
realize the reluctance l feel to leave the soil Of
Virginia and appreciate my anxiety to win sue
cess north OF the Roanoke"
where offices have been opened to keep up the
current business until more definite knowl.
edge would enable us to form more permanent
plans May God preserve. sustain and guide
you"
Lee never received this Dispatch on the day
1t was sent he and the army Of Northern Vir-
ginia were already General Grants prisoners
Of war. Davis never heard personally and di.
rectly from Lee after April g. on which date the
General sent a telegram dated from Rice's sta.
ton announcing that he would be at Farmve
that night.
President Davis did not learn Of the great
catastrophe at Appomattox until the 10TH late
in the day At first the full extent Of the disas-
ter was not understood. William Preston john
ston one of his aids. wrote to Mrs Davis as
late as the 18th from GreensbOrough. N. c.. that
--latest adyices lead to the hope that he (Lee)
and the leaders of the army may have escaped
with a remnant of the command. We hope to
make head against the enemy with the forces
AT our command. The loss OF an army Is not
the loss OF the cause. etc.
The same day from the same point. Burton N.
Harrison. Davis's private secretary. wrote or
,eIepraphed Mrs Davis, at what locality does
not appear: Imagine. then our astonshment
and dismay when the President was summoned

Miph, Have Been Worse

Saturday night at 1920 as Bob Orr
was driving TO Salem with one Of the
Dallas livery teams and when at the
Matheny house just east Of the big
bridge the horses became frightened
and in attempting 10 stop them one Of tn,
lines broke and Mr.. Orr lost control OF
the team. They ran at full gallop across
the big steel bridge and turned the
corner at Commercial street where
everything was clear for a free race.
Mr.. Orr said he didn't even have time
10 jump out because they were fairly
flying through the air, 20 all lac could
do was 10 await an opportunity 10 get
out. They ran down to the Red Front
livery barn, conducted by VIM. Ullery,
who had but just retired and the front
doors were closed. The horses turned
in and slid about 20 feet in slowing up,
the pole struck the door, burst open the
whole front and driver and horses stopped
in the middle Of the barn floor both
terribly scared but uninjured. Bob Orr
says il was a little the livcliest ride hc
ever took wherein he had nothing Ia
say, not even ~ to destination. The
buggy pole was shattered and one Of the
reaches broken.
The horses knew where they had been

MISS KAY,s RECITAL.
The Last Of the Series Of Graduauons
From Willamette.

The recital Of Miss Bertha Loleta Kay,
graduate Of the College Of Oratory, at the
university chapel Saturday night>was a
very enjoyable affair, though there was
deep regret that Miss Lettie Abrams,
who was 10 have taken an equal part in
the recital with Miss Kay, was lying
critically III block away
The chapel was comfortably filled,
mostly with young people, with whom
Miss Kay is a general favorite. Follow
| ing the new and amost commendable
custom, at the suggestion Of President
| Hawley, the ladies removed their hats,
all but few who seemed 10 be too old
10 care for the opinion or convenience Of
those sitting behind them.
Miss Kay was assisted by Professor
Edward Tilson, Of the college Of music,
Mr.. j. W. Beicher, Miss Joy Turner,
and Miss Marguerite Anderson, Miss
Ielo NickliI and Miss stanley.
The program, as printed for the joint
recital Of Miss Kay and Miss Abrams,
was necessarily modified, but the new
program contained seven pleasing num-
bers.
Miss Kay looked charming in her
white graduating dress, and her three
recitations were received with unstnted
applause by the audience, which was
prolonged into recall after her last
number.
Professor Tillson's piano solo also
elected an encore, and little JOY Turner
had narrow escape, her violin solo be-
ing remarkably good for 20 young
player.
Miss Alderson's solo pleased the au-
dience 20 well that she also was recalled,
when she pleased them again by seating
herself at the piano and playing her
own accompaniment.
This ended a program which was en-
jOyable throughout.
