Washington. Aug. 2o.-The library Of
Congress. with its 900. 600 books. intends to
be represented at the ST. Louis Exposition

hibit the valuable stores Of this great Ii
brary. because OF the desire to keep them
always in custody of the National Govern

curatsly indexed and located. the handling
Of them has been simplifed: and Librarian

THE MARKET QUESTION.
A Prospect.

To the Editor Of The Republic
st. Louis. Aug. 19.-The high price Of po-
tatoes in the ST. Louis market Is nearly
over. Next week. or within a fortnight at
the latest, ample supplies of Western irri-
gated and Northern potatoes will be in this
market at greatly reduced prices. Not only
will they be lower in price. but of far bet
ter grade than the drought-injured product
Of the Mississippi Valley.
Meats must reach a lower range Of val
ues. Packe and butchers are carrying
such heavy stocks. and the livestock hold
ings Of the country are SO enormous. that
free selling at lower prices will be necessary
to keep the people from turning. in a large
degree. to cheaper nutritious foods.
Bread is cheap and will continue to be to
the end of the crop year. The Immense
wheat crop guarantees this.
Fall crops of forage and the hay harvest
saved early in the summer guarantee coed
milk and butter at reasonable prices, 50
that. with the staples within reach Of all,
extortion will be out of the question.

TO CELEBRATE LABOR DAY.
The Union Workers of the District
Making Early Plans,

The Knights of Labor of the Districts
through their central body, District As
senbly No. &c, are making elaborate prep
arations for the celebration of Labor Day
the first Monday in September Ever since
that was declared by act of Congress a le-
gal holiday In the District of Columbia the
Knights of Labor have taken a prominent
part in the observance of what is known
throughout the country as the working
mans national holiday.
Labor Day was observed as a general
holiday in the District of Columbia for
the first time in September, 1894 In that
year the trades unionists Joined with the
knights of Labor in celebrating the occa-
sion. and together they participated in
street parade in which about 1000 mem
bers of organized labor were in line. Since
then the knights have not made street
parade a part of their programme for the
celebration Of Labor Day.
In 1895 the knights, under the auspices
of District Assembly No. &C. organized
mammoth picnic excursion to Marshall
Hall, where. with the members of their
families and friends. they spent the day
most pleasantly. Each year since then
similar excursions have been arranged,
and Marshall Hall has successfully been
chosen as the place for the outing. In
September next the Knights of Labor
and their friends viii again spend the
wage earnefs' national holiday at that
place. Arrangements for the observance
of the OCCASION have been in progress for
some time and the committee in charge
feel assured that the programme OF
amusements and athletic games arranged
warrants the statement that the coming
celebration will be more successful than
those of previous years. The programme
has not yet been completed, but IL is said
that 1t will be more varied and more Ia
teresting than ever before Thus those
who spend the day with the Knights are
assured of a pleasant outing.
At a meeting of District Assembly No.
S. knights of Labor, held last week, the
following were named as a committee of
arrangements: W. A Dion. j. II. Hick-
man J. F QMara Thomas Sheehan, and
William F. Moran. This committee will
be increased later on, and the whole d.
vided into subcommittees in charge of the
different features of the entertainments
The committee has already made arrange
ments with the management of the Mar
shall Hall and Mount Vernon Steamboat
Company for the transportation of the
knights of Labor and their guests to and
from the Hall. The arrangements are
such that there will be no fear of crowding
on the boats or worry of having to wait
until very late at night to return to the
city I'm comfort,

PRAISE FOR POLICE CONTROL.
CongrafuIatory Letters on the CeIe-
bration of the Fourth.


During the past few days Major Sylves-
ter has been the recipient of many CON
gratClatory letters commending him for
the excellent work of the police IN en-
forcing the regulations relating to the
use OF fireworks in celebration of the
Fourth Of july For the first time IN
many years, the writer's assert. it was
possible for residents of the city to enjoy
comparative quiet and comfort and not
TO have their nerves racked by the at
tempt Of the small boy. assisted by his
larger brethren, to transform quiet
city into a roaring battlefield.
The suggestion Of Major Sylvester
looking to the formation OF associations
for the celebration of such occasions in
an orderly and Inspiring manner. instead
Of by the reckless use Of gunpowder and
other explosives, has also received the
warmest rrsise from his correspondents
1t is impossible 10 make all of the
changes at single stroke, il is asserted
but there IS evidence that the authorities
are proceeding upon wei defined line
with the much needed reforms in view
Gradually the time allowed for the firing
OF the explosives is being reduced, and
year by year the size of the firecracker
whose use is lawful is being diminished
and IL is expected that within a few
years all of the objectionabl bic features Of
a Fourth of July celebration will BE-
eliminated.

HIS IDENTITY ESTABLISHED.
A Second Telegram Tells Which
sweeny Had Died.

Doubt as to which of two mothers had
lost her son was dispelied yesterday morn
ing when Captain Boardman received a
telegram from McKeesport, Pa. settling
beyond doubt the identity OF William =.
Sweeny. The young mans death was
announced in a brief telegram received
here Saturday morning, requesting that
his parents be located and advised. The
search instituted by the police resulted
I'm the finding of two mothers who each
thought that the description indicated
that the youth in question was her boy.
The identity of the man was not made
certain, however, until the receipt OF the
second telegram yesterday from Philip
Folk, at the McKeesport, Pa. hospital,
stating that William Patrick Sweeny had
died in that institution July as a result
of scalds which ne had received. He was

CHARGED WITH ARSON.
Fire in a Blacksmith Shop Leads to
an Arrest.

Daniel Nolan, a blacksmith, who gives
his age as forty-two years, was arrested
yesterday morning by Policeman Herbert
and locked up at the Fourth precinct sta
tionhouse on a charge of arson. The ar
rest is the outgrowth of an Insignificant
fire that occurred about 1880 o'clock Fri
day night in the blacksmith Shop of Quin-
tan Keuhnert. In the rear of 404 Four
and-a-half Street southwest.
Nolan was in the employ of Keuhnert
until recently, when there was some trou-
BILE between the men,. Since then Nolan
has slept in the loft above the shop on
several occasions, and it said that on the
night in question when he tried to en-
ter the place, he found II locked. The
police say that he not only broke into
the shop, but that, being angered at the
attempt to exclude him, he applied
match to the place and then made his
escape. -,
When placed under arrest Nolan told
the officers that he had been drinking that
night and that he knew nothing OF the
alleged offence. He is said TO be the same
man who was arrested in 1885 by Detec-
tiyee Weldon and Horne on charge of
larceny from the person. The property
in question, a watch, was recovered and
returned 10 the complainant, Lewis f.
Williams.
