LIBRARIES AND FICTION.
Impending Revolt of Librarians
Against Insensate Demands.


From the Boston Journal.
There are some cheering signs Of revolt
on the part of librarians against the in
sensate public demand for all the latest
fiction. The moment that CORY historical
romance or other new product Of the mills
of the fiction writer's begins to get itself
talked about or advertised in the street
cars. the public flocks to the libraries and
demands the new book, and becomes ex-
tremely impatient and often disrespectful
if it is not at once forthcoming. To meet
these demands even imperfectly 1t would be
necessary for any library to provide itself
with fifteen or twenty copies Of each new
success" thereby helping to give 1t
record-breaking sale. But in few weeks
public favor demands attention, and last
months novel is as dead as Marley.
lie evil moreover. is growing at an ap-
paning rate. Taking into consideration
only those books which are of American
authorship, 1t appears that new books of
fiction by American writer's numbered 9S1
last year, as compared with 618 the year
previous, an increase Of nearly 60 per cent.
Meanwhile there was an actual numerical
falling off in all other departments Of lite
rary creation.
1t is becoming a solemn question with
librarians and< library trustees whether
funds at their disposal In stocking their
shelves with new fiction, which soon be-
comes mere useless lumber. 1t can hardly
be imagine.. that the worthy people who
left their often hard-won fortunes to found
these libraries ever dreamed that their
money would be chiefly employed in stimu-
lating an unwholsome taste for trivial
fiction. They had in mind. as very often
the express terms Of their gifts and be-
quests indicate, the instruction Of the COM
munities who were to profit by them. It
amounts almost to malfeasance to take
funds left with such a hign intent and use
them In the indiscriminate purchase Of
trash.
Several remedies are suggested. Some
librarians, among them the librarian Of
Congress, are in favor Of adding to libraries
only fiction which is at least year old.
The application of this principle would in
stantly weed out most of the great ''popu-
lar successes" of the period, for the per-
centage of them which survives twelve
months is extremely small Another sug-
gestion is that q special fee be exacted
from the devourers Of new fiction. This
also would greatly restrict the demand. But
a remedy Of some kind must soon be ap-
piled or the libraries will be swamped by
the floods Of fiction.

An Adverse Decision.

Mr.. Tracewell. controller Of the treasury,
has decided that he is unable to find in anv
of the appropriations made for the Ma
tional Museum any authority express or
implied for the payment of gas used In the
rooms occupied by the cafe In the museum
building and holds that payment would be
illegal whether certified by the inspector
Of meters or not
1t is stated at the controllers office that
1t Is probable that free gas is furnished at
q number OF government institutions to res
taurants accorded privileges inside build
ings, but the trouble is that the controller
has no way Of passing upon the accounts
as the gas used throughout the buildings is
measured by one meter, making 1t impossi-
bic to find out how much is being used by
the restaurant people. The controller would
not have been allowed to pass upon this
case but for the action Of the inspector of
meters.

THE RAILWAY TUNNEL.
A Change Decided on as to It's Loca-
ton

The meeting OF the Senate committee on
the District of Columbia held yesterday
afternoon. to consider the project for the
building of tunnel along the line Of 1st
street east to connect the tracks Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, has re-
suited In slight change in the original
plans in order to secure double assurance
that the work will in no way affect unfavor-
ably the walls Of the Congressional Library
building. At the meeting yesterday after
noon there were present Mr. Brown. civil
engineer Of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany: Commissioner Biddle and Mr.. Ber-
nard Green. civil engineer and superintend-
ent OF the Library building. The opinions
Of these experts was that not the least
danger would threaten the Library building
by the construction OF the tunnel In the
middle OF LIST street. az at first planned. But
the committee. in order to make double pro-
vision against any possible danger to the
building. decided that the location Of the
tunnel be changed thirty-seven feet to the
east. SO that instead Of running under the
center OF the street, 1t Will be constructed
under the sidewalk east OF the roadway.

FOOD ADULTERATIONS.
Agricultural Department Experts Tes-
tify Today.

The Department Of Agriculture had it's
inning on the subject Of pure food legis-
latlon before the House committee on
commerce today. DR.. Wiley will conclude
the hearings on this subject tomorrow,
and as preliminary to his conclusion
which will be an Endorsement Of the Hep
burn bill, experts from that department
today enlightened the committee on the
subject Of food adulterations.
DR.. Burton G. Howard. microscopic Of
the chemical bureau, explained the con-
tents of a number of jars of preserved
fruit which he exhibited. The fruit. he
said, had been put up after it had begun to
decay, and the fungus growth which re-
suited from the decay was present to a
large extent in the preserves. This, Dr.
Howard said, might not be, strictly speak
ing, deleterious to health, but 1t was not
nutritious-more like eating straw, or any
other foreign substance that was not food
The committee was regaled with scientific
terms such as the development of spores
and fungus growth.
DR.! w. D. Bigelow, chemist in charge of
the food laboratory of the Department Of
Agriculture, was also heard along the
same line.
DR.. Bigelow also had illustrations of his
argument in the shape of canned corn,
peas and milk and cream preparations
which he contended were, while not, strict
ly speaking, deleterious to health. not
up to standard, but sold under brands de-
noting that they were f1rst-class goods.
Misleading labels were also exhibited to
the committee, showing how food laws
were evaded, although the letter Of the law
complied with. An instance of this was a
can of peas which were described as being
soaked" in artesian well water 1t was
explained that the peas were dried peas,
which before being canned were soaked
in water to make them soft. This 1t was
said. did not improve the peas, but the
grocer, when asked what was meant by
the label, said it was decided advantage
to have been soaked in artesian water.
compound coffee label was also ex-
plotted in this connection.

Mesdames Beringer and Blaine. Mrs. Mar
garet Dye Ellis, legislative superintendent
of the National Woman's Christian Iem-
perance Union, addressed the meeting,
speaking on the subject OF the status or
women, past and present. In contrasting
the past status of women with their
present condition the speaker called at
tention to the many occupations form
erly considered as belonging peculiarly
to women. but now taken up by men,
among them instancing the baking indus
try, modern dressmaking, creameries. etc.
These old fashioned means of employment
having been taken from women by modern
men, she said. modern women have made
inroads in the field of mans endeavor. and
so there are women lawyers. women doc
tors. women typewriters and women
preachers.

The difference in the rate of these

The board put a valuation of $4,000
on all standard Pullman s%leepers, and

total valuation of all sleepers used in

In this distribution it will be observ-
ed that on some of the roads the valua-

of the Pullman cars on the other road.
