This organization has always been de-
servedly popular here and has never ap-
peared before the public except in most
artistic programs. OF late, however there
have been requests for less ambitious num-
bers, and for a larger share in the con-
certs by the society, and to meet the wishes
OF its friends the society will sing next

FOR SUNDAY OPENING.
Librarian Putnam Anticipates Favor
able Action By Congress-.

able Action By Congress.
Mr.. Herbert Putnam. the congressional
librarian. has In mind the visitation OF from
1000 to 5000 people each day during the
coming inaugural period, and Is governing
himself accordingly. In an interview &C
corded q reporter he intimated his ex-
pectancy of the legislative bill regarding
the Sunday opening Of the library being
passed by Congress within q fortnight Con-
sequently the visitors to the big 4th OF
March ceremony who may arrive Saturday
night will find at least one purely public
building open to them the following day.
with Sunday openings" said Mr.. Put
nam, there will be more work for the
library employees. but I expect to arrange
matters that the force will alternate in
getting Sundays off. The extra 1000 men
toned in the BILL which is now in confer
ence, will cover extra compensation of at
taches.
Il think the bill will pass, and certainly
SO desire. 1t seems too bad that people
coming to Washington for visit of few
days should find the library closed to them
Sunday. About every other public building
is closed that day.
There are so many new and interesting
additions to the library which people should
see that l deem it necessary to keep open
from ? to 10 pm. Sundays. For instance,
there is the collection of rare books; also
the newspaper reading room, where there Is
the largest collection of daily papers on
file to be found any place in the world.
THE rare books are certainly of great in
terest In the collection are bound volumes
Of old American papers, such as were print
ed late in the century before last, and such
modern ones as Horace Greeley's first COM
plete volume of 1S41.
Among the books is one which dealt
with the ancestry of the American red In
dian. The author cave reasons why it
should be believed that Red Cloud, Red
Jacket, Samoset, Pocahontas and the rest
of them Were merely descendants of one of
the lost tribes of Israel. and that in reality
the original American is of the same flesh
and blood as the race which is today more
noted for its able bus ness instincts than
for warning or conquering. The book col
lection is being added to occaaionaly.''
