To Be Open Every Sunday.

Beginning Sunday the Library of
Congress, which has heretofore been
closed on that day OF the week, will
be opened to the public every Sunday
from in the afternoon until 10 o'clock
at night.
The main reading room in the ro-
tunda and the periodical room will be
open to the public, as will all the other
divisions OF the building just as on
weekdays. The innovation, it is
thought, Viii meet with considerable
favor and is due largely to the manner
in which the librarian, Mr.. Herbert
Putnam, urged Sunday opening and
secured the necessary appropriation OF
$4,000 at the last session Of Congress.

Problem in New Cuban Tax.

Owing to the peculiar phraseology
OF the decree OF President Palma rela-

wines, as the same was received in

grave doubt exists as to whether the
heavy increase and new taxes propos-
ed are import taxes or purely internal
revenue taxes. The difference is vital
to American exporters in this line OF
trade, and in answer to numerous in
quiries, steps have been taken to clear
I'D the ambiguity.

Industrial Education.

For the Gazette.
That we are on the eve Of great in
dustrial age in education is conceded by
many OF our best and wisest educators
Believing that it will be one Of the II ost
powerful forces which will aid mater tally
in the solution Of the -purplexing
NEGRO Problem they are becoming
more and more impressed with the
necessity and practicability Of industrial
education. This theory, clearly demon
strated as practical by such institutions
as are at Hampton, Va. Tuskegee Ala,
and Lawrenceville, Va, Is alse becoming
gradually but surely accepted by the
masses, themselves. as a sound and lOgi-
cal remedy for many of their social and
economic irregularities. In fact the
fever OF the Industrial movement is con
tagious.
1t is gratifying to note that it has taken
possession Of the public school teachers,
and that they, by the aid OF friends. have
Instituted a course, the miniature In form,
Of industrial education To the lessons
in hand sewing. which have proven very
helpful, have been added those of basketry,
in which both teachers and pupils have
taken a keen and delightful interest.
Their work has resulted in some very
petty specimens OF what used to
be the skillful Indians art. Raf1ia has
been the material used in this work. 1t
is the hope of the teachers that the max
ing OF reed baskets may be introduced
next term. The pupils in the three
highest grades have also been taught to
make the Irvine shopping bags. These
specimens are also very creditable.

army for nearly four years and from which
the government could not take advance
line earlier than November, 1854 The

between the West and the Army of the
Potomac, and was consequently In con-
tinual state OF siege. Harper's Ferry, the
key to the Shenandoah Valley, first
famed through the fanatical attempt OF
John Brown, in defying the laws and
customs of his country, was captured or
recaptured eight times in three years.
The Government Arsenal and armories
which were located there, were destroyed
by the government to prevent their
capture. One hundred and seventy-nine
battles of greater or less Importance
were fought on or adjacent to the Balti-

GEMS IN VERSE.
Till Death Us Part.

Till Death Us Part.
Till death us part.
So speaks the heart.
When each to each repeats the words OF
doom;
Through blessing and through curse,
For better and for worse
We Will be one till that dread hour shall
come.
Life with its myriad grasp
Our yearning soul shall clasp,
Aye. ceaseless love and still eXpectant
wonder,
In bonds that shall endure,
Indissolubly sure,
Till God in death shall part our paths
asunder.
Till death us join,
voice yet more divine!
That to the broken heart breathes hope
sublime
Through lonely hours
And shattered powers
We still are one despite Of change and
time.
Death, with his healing hand,
Shall once more knit the band
Which needs but that one link which none
may sever,
TILL through the Only Good.
Heard, felt and understood,
Our life in God shall make US one forever.
