Literary Leaders of the Century.

DIR. James Field Spalding of Concord,
Mass. is delivering a course of lectures at
Holy Cross Academy on THE American
Literary Leaders of the Century" In the
first OF the series, given last evening, he dis
cussed Emerson. Analysing the merits of
the sage of Concord" as an essayist, a
critic, poet and philosopher. Though
EmersOns works DIR. Spa'ding said, are
distinctively American, he was not given
TO literary jingoism. He never abrogated
the world acknowledged standards nor pre-
tended TO be Independent of the masters OF
Other lands. The works of Bret Harte.
Marx Twain and the ''Bigelow Papers
form an original and delightful contribu-
ton To literature. Still, we require higher
models If we wish TO create a national
literary standard.
Though not an ideal in literature or in
life, the speaker said, Emerson's influence
will not wane so long as there are minds
capable of approaching the high moral
purpose and the rich suggestiveness of his
works.

SAVING OF EXPENSE
Commissioners Will Not Rent Build
ing for Male Prisoners,
THE CONCLUSION REACHED TODAY
Congress Asked to Appropriate
$4,000 as Smallpox Fund.
THE PRESENT SITUATION

After discussion of tie question which
occupied all the forenoon today, the Dis
trict Commissioners decided to abandon the
idea of renting a building for the incar
ceration of such male prisoners as might
be sentenced by the Police Court to The
workhouse, during the continuance of the
quarantine placed over the portion of the
prison occupied by male prisoners, con-
Guiding to imprison the men and boys In
the upper portion of the building occupied
by the female prisoners. 1t was found by
ture of about 5000 the upper floor of the
female workhouse prison could be made
available for the detention of from sixty
to one hundred male prisoners, whereas
the rental of an outside building includ-
ing the necessary repairs, would entail an
expenditure of about 5000.
The workhouse prison for females is about
1000 yards distant from the other, wherein
smallpox has developed, and, in the opinion
OF the authorities, there is no danger of
contagion from the infected building. With
the employment of six eight additional
guards il VIII be possible for the Commits
sloners to safely detain the male prisoners
IN the upper portion Of the prison for wo-
men, The additional expense of this tenn
porary arrangement will be met out of an
appropriation of 10000. which the Commits
sioners today asked from Congress. The
request for this sum was foreshadowed in
yesterdays Star, the Commissioners hav-
ing determined, after fully considering the
smallpox situation, that such an emer-
gency appropriation is absolutely neces-
Sary, in view of the danger which threat

The Story OF II Furnace.
The host looked at his guest.

The host looked at his guest.
Come down to the basement he
said, with a slight wink; II want to
show you my furnace
The hostess glanced up with queer
little smile. "Mr. Stivcrson is quite
daft about his furnace, Mr.. Jolloboy,"
she said. Give no doubt he'll have
you down there every time he opens q
dampcr"
The host turned away and choked
slightly, and then they stepped down
the stairs together.
Mr.. Stivcrson went straight to the
furnace room, and reaching above the
brickcd heater, pulled down a squat
black bottle and small glass. He
filled the latter.
Here's to the furnace he said
with hoarse chucklc, as he passed
the glass to his guest. Have to be
little careful, you know, on account of
the old lady. Rest woman in the
world, Of course, but prejudice,..
How that?" The guest gulped and
took down the contents Of the glass.
"Now, what would you call that?"
"Well, replied the visitor with
grimaoe, ''to be fTauk with you, I
would call it mighty good sample of
spoiled cidar vinegar
sEh! what?" And tn. hos: hastily
poured out glass and took mouth
full. "Wow-w-w! So it is. Hang it
all, the old lady has discovered the
hiding place! Wonder what in thun-
der she did with thereal stuff? Heav-
ems! what contemaitible trick.
Let's 60 upstairs. And they went.
How did MI. Jollyboy like the fur
nace?' inquired the hostess as she
looked up with pleasant smile.
The accidulated guest did his best
to call up smile in return.
"It's splendid furnish-I should
say furnace" he remarked. "I don t
think ever saw one with better ap-
pointments outside and inside
"And on top, too?" queried the
HOSTESS sweetly. Then she pointed
to the open register at her feet.
