Larner and Weston Flint. Mr. Larner has
private collection of book plates, and,
owing to his knowledge Of the subject, the
success of the efforts of the committee is
mainly due. The design was made and en-
graved by MIR. Sydney l.. Smith of Boston,
who is one of the few artists in the country
who has given special attention to the de-
signing of book plates, and his reputation
in this respect is deservedly high. After re-
celvlng the suggestions from the committee
as to what the design of the proposed book
plate should contain, Mr.. Smith submitted
drawing, which was adopted by the COM
mlttee, and has since been engraved. As
will be seen from the. cut OF the book plate
which accompanies this article the design
is decorative and disnihed and the treat
ment is so broad that it would be possible
to enlarge it to life size and yet the char
acter and meaning would not be destroyed.
The framework or the design is substan-
tial, yet graceful, arch, suggesting the pOr-
tai of temple-like Structure. Above are
the words public Librafy'' and beneath
the words District of Columbia" with
srace left for the nnrne OF the donor and
the proper library sftrinnof the volume.
Through the archway and in the back
ground can be seen the Washington monu-
ment and the Capitol, with also glimpse
of the Potomac. In the foreground is a
group Of three figures One represents JUS
tice with Liberty, the other Literature,
while between them is the figure of youth
just on the entrance of life and apparently
under the guidance of these figures. On the
shield upon which the youth is leaning is
displayed the coat of arms of the District
OF Columbia. The symbol of the American
eagle Is found on the spandrels of the arch.

MAGISTRATE SYSTEM.

Establi hment

Recon- e dation to BE Made for It's
Establishment.
In the report of the chief of police which
will be submitted to the Commissioners
about the time Commissioner Wight re-
turns from his vacation, Maj. Sylvester will
recommend the establishment of the mag
istrate system for the trial of petty cases,
and will advance number of reasons why
the change should be made. He will point
out in his report how police officers and
citizens are frequently detained at court
and kept from their legitimate duties, while
in his opinion, with the magistrate system
such detentions would be avoided Not only
Will policemen and civilian witnesses be re-
ferred to, but some attention will also be
paid to the unfOrtunates who are arrested
Maj. Sylvester will point out that every
person who is arrested is not guilty, and
that their being locked up many hours be-
fore they can be heard is an injustice. In
all probability he will recommend the APP
pointment of four magistrates to hold two
sessions each day. This, the report will
state, will insure speedy trials in all cases
and will result in the release of innocent
persons a few hours after their arrest at
the most
Such system, the report will also point
out will prevent the locking up of people
all day Sunday without hearing. 1t is
alleged that many warrants are obtained
in minor cases for the purpose of having
would be stopped, Maj. Sylvester says, by
the system he will advocate With the
number Of magistrates suggested there
would be eight sessions of court each day
and, the report will state, the evils now
complained OF will be'remedied.

An appropriate and at the same time ar
