From The Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post.
In mis- brief but successful career as a public
librarian. Herbert Putnam, the Congressional
Librarian has faced three varied problems of
which he has mastered two and holds the solution
OF the third in his grasp He established public
Boston. and now in Washington he has begun TO
make the National Library comprehensive and
concerned. as the British Muse- is in Great Brit
ain one Of the chief factg~s - Mr.. Putnam's

with mis- employees as well as with the public he
is the persopihcation Of piacidity;
AS Illustration Of his tact the following story
told the other day by an intimate friend in
New-Y0rk-
When Mr. Putnam was the head OF the Public
Library Boston a ward leader of that city called

There was no reason why the librarian should not
have refused AZ once and peremptorily appoint
him, but he chose TO follow another course.
After a few minutes talk with the politician, Mr.
Putnam asked him whether ne had been

In golf hats. for both ladies and gen
tlemen, the styles are radically new.
The ladies' golf hat Is worn this
season at Nice and Monte Carlo and
is very light in weight, fetching.
and fine in texture. The gentle
mans golf hat is just fresh from
the other side and supplants the
Scotch cap among the ultra fash
ionables. It IS finely woven IN Light
shades. with the golf club colors,
tastily arranged around the crown
and forms the hatband.
In canes and umbrellas many new
designs are shown, with hand
carved heads Of various designs.
and one of the very latest tnporta-
tions shown at the Knox Sth Ave.
Store is a square bamboo cane, as
shown in the Illustration. This
bamboo grows square. instead OF
round. There was only 8 COM
paratively small amount Of the
bamboo grown. and this concern
bought the entire supply. II makes
an attractive and very odd orna-
ment, either IN a cane or umbrella
stick. They are plainly ornamented
with silver and gold bands al the
handle. and are very light and
strong.
II is rather early for the straw
hat, but a peep taken ar the styles
at the Knox factory, shows a
rough straw, OF a shape and trim
that should meet the approval OF
any dressy young man.

Japan,s Cabinet has ResIgned.

The resignation of the Japanese cab
met and the probable coming into
power of Marquis Ito is the theme OF
the hour in that country. The change
came as surprise, although it was
deemed inevitable in the not distant
future. 1t was doubtless unwelcome
to Marquis Ito himself, who has by no
means yet got his new party in proper
trim for harmonious and successful
work. Although the latter is well or
ganized, it is made up of many incon-
gruous and warning elements, and
early trouble is predicted for it, espec-
tally in the view of distribution of of
ficers before it is brought under any
sort of discipline. Marquis Ito is the
only man to whom the country can
turn in this emergency, as has been
the case for many years past, when
ever an important crisis has arisn.
A significant feature of the present
case is to be found in the fact that the
marquis is not credited with strong
pro- Russian tendencies.

While Arthur Goebel brother of the

Elliott of the doth infantry surprised
the rebel headquarters near Oroquieta,
Island of Mindanao, and captured,
without fighting, Gen. Alvarez, with

danao. 1t was he who effected the
disastrous attack on Oroquieta some
time ago, and he was preparing an
other when he was captured. De-

Kruger VIM go to Franco.

Mr.. Kruger has postponed his de-
parture until Oct 90. and he will now
land al Marseilles, France. The an
nouncement that he is going there will
probably prove a disagreeable surprise
to the French ministry, who had tried
to persuade him to land elsewhere.
Kruger is such hero in France that
NJ. Delcasse, the minister for foreign
affairs, did not wish to add 20 the anti
English demonstration that is expected
to find expression in the chambers
which is to convene Nov. G, by having
Kruger in the country. 1t is the fear
of the ministry that the people will be
SO demonstrative that offense will be
given to Great Britain.

The Indians of the Indian village at
Burt lake, Cheboygan county, are
homeless. The land which they lived
ON was sold for taxes two or three
years ago, and on Oct. A, 1899, they
promised to go away the next spring,
if the writ OF assistance granted by the
circuit courtwas not served and they be
allowed to stay. A few of them went
away but some remained and finally
had to be evicted and have their for
mer homes burned down.
