The HeQrSf Library
Of Anaconda

Through the generosity and public
spiritedness of Mrs. Phoebe A. Hearst,
of San Francisco widow of the late Sem
ator Hearst of California, the citizens Of
Anaconda enjoy the advantages of a
magnificent public library; one that
would be credit to a place many
times larger than this city. 1t is most
complete in every respect.
The library building was completed in
1898 at cost of more than $4,000, exclu-
sive of the furnishings and contents.
The expense of conducting the institu-
ton is maintained by Mrs. Hearst; the
salaries of the librarian, her assistant,
janitors, ETC., are borne entirely by her.
Electric lights and fuel are no small
item in the expense list; but Mrs. Hearst
pays for them all and her instructions
are very explicit that no donations of
books or anything else shall be ac-
cepted.
A number of times since the library
was established offers of books have
been made from citizens who feel that
the library is a public benefit, but in
every case they have been refused.
The library was first opened on March
25, 1895, in temporary quarters on
Cherry street in the building now Occu-
pied by the Twentieth Century club. For
nearly four months only reading room
was maintained where current newspa-
pers, magazines and like periodicals
were kept on file. On July % of the
same year. the reference department
was opened to the public. In June, 1898,
permanent quarters were established In
the building especially provided. with
1867 volumes of books for circulation.
The library building is commodious
two-story structure. On the lower floor
is located the general reading room. the
offices Of those in charge and reference
departmnt. On the upper floor has been
provided writing and reading rooms for
both ladies and gentlemen, who are
furnished materials free of charge. On
this floor are found many books treating
on history; also valuable collection OF
pictures, masterpieces of art. Included
among them are oil paintings. etchings.
water colors. Braun and Italian photo
graphs and photographers.
When the library was first opened,
r. deb. Smith was installed as librarian:
Fred Clarke, a nephew of Mrs. Hearst.
succeeded him, who in turn was sue
ceeded by Miss Isabel Tracy, now Mrs.

Engines for Central Stations.

1t is practically only quite recently that
slow-speed direct coupled sets have been
used in Great Britain, and in this respect
the country is behind the continent and
the United States; doubtless the back
wardness of electric traction and power
transmission is responsible for this.
There are in the United Kingdom we'll
known slow speed engine makers, such
as Yates e. Thorn, Musgraves. Hick Har-
greaves, GalloWays, Robeys, Barber s.
Combe, Adamsons etc, but most prob
ably 1t was the advent of the American
Reynolds-Corlss engine, more than any
thing else which caused the awakening
of the manufacturers 10 the large field
open before them and to the necessity
of building a SLOW speed engine which
would answer the requirements of the
electric traction engineers. The condi-
lions under which engines for electric
traction have to run are very trying and
differ in many ways from those which
have to be considered in the case of cleo
trio lighting. The load is constantly
varying and the variations are large and
sudden. Breakdowns are more serious
than in lighting station, so large fac
tors of safety are necessary, and in many
cases the station must be in continual
opera ton for several consecutive days.
The conditions under which a traction
engine works are, if anything, more oner-

w. f. Galley. Miss Tracey was sue
ceeGed by Miss Anna Whitley, who re-
signed in September. 1885, to remove
to California. Miss Nellie Latham was
the next librarian, and filled the posi-
ton creditably until May l last. when
she was succeeded by Miss Elizabeth l..
Thompson, the present incumbent Miss
Latham resigned because of her mar
riase to DR.. N. S. Snyder.
A comparison made by the succeed
ing tables show that the library has in-
creased in popularity during the past
year. The attendance in the reference
department from January 1 to October
81, inclusive, was 40 greater than all
of the IL months of last year. During
the same period 1854 more books We're
issued <+e"the patrons than during all
of 1900.
1t is believed that one reason for this
gratifying increase is the putting into
effect of the eight-hour working law in
thteh shelters, thus affording working
men more time to improve their minds
in reading than they had when 10
hours constituted a working day.
The comparisons are as follows:

gave to the club on Friday. She said in
part: This representation of the mother
of our Savior is of more frequent occur

spective of the religious belief of the
artist. This is because it is the most
lofty and appealing type of motherhood
that history reveals to use. From the
earliest times the higher qualities of
woman were set forth and worshiped in
goddesses: there was Isis of the Egyp-
tians. Asarte of the Assyrians. Freya of
the Scythians and of Scandinavian
mythology. and Aphrodite of the Greeks;
but it remained for the Virgin Mary to
combine all the qualities venerated in
these types. But it is the idea lying be-
hind all art representation that we must
try to gain, and in this case you can see
it is tenderness, purity, humility. forth

and beauty that are the object of devo-
ton. At first the pictures of the Ma
