M ANY wise men believe that I'M
lXI der the vision Of omnipotence
aud omniscience no accidents
occur. All enlightened people believe
that there is being worked ont plan
not only for this world, bu. for the
universe of which we are a part.
In the development Of the plans Of
which we can only catch glimmerings
by studying the developments Of the
centuries il is conceded that there are
invisible powers at work. For exam
pie, three centuries were systematic
ally tolled OF from time into eternity
before Christianity was made respect
able by being placed on the throne Of
the Caesars But the plan is now Wis
ible to those who study the past with
care.
Another thing strange and inscrut-
able of purpose-it required the suf-
ferings and deaths of 100000 people
in Cuba in order that the young giant
of the western hemisphere might be
thoroughly aroused 10 drive forth the
oppressor nation, SO that, by the suf-
ferings Of 100000 human beings, the
millions of the future in Cuba shall be
free from the racks and tortures Of
injustice and infamy. Back Of II all
is the plan Of the invisible power.
People in civilized states know that
the harmless looking trolley wire car
ries with it an invisible power which
moves cars. and which may deal death
to any human being who might grasp
it. SO also are the invisible but known
powers of gravitation and attraction.
We are surrounded by influences Of
which we know but an infnitesimal
part.
The brain of John l.. Smithmeyer
was saturated with visions of architec-
tural splendor such as man had never
dreamed before; and the invisible pow

ers which mako. for the beautiful
taught him how TO outline the plans
of the great congressional library
which now eyokes the plaudits Of all
who see its glorious projections in
every nook and Granny, from founda-
ton TO dome. Back Of all plans there
must be motives. Back Of this archi-
tectural wonder there were motives
and motive powers.
Victor Hugo gives TO Napoleon Meth
err credit for Austerlitz nor censure
for Waterloo. lie says that Napoleon
was a mighty medium for the working
out of plans and purposes which were
not revealed even TO his marvellous
military brain. Napoleon was used by
the invisible powers TO accomplish re-
suits. 1t remains not for military
men. but philosophers, 10 discover in
due season why those victories and de-
feats were placed upon the stage Of
history. Victor Hugo'sidea was voiced
by Shakespeare when he said: "All
the worlds a stage, and all the men
and women merely players"
The real motives of the invisible
powers we may never know, but we
can discern the motives of human be-
ings as they play their parts and pass
away. And now we discover the hui
man motive powers back of the great
congressional library. See them
grouped together for the first time.
James Voorhees,, son of the great
senator from Indiana. Daniel w. Voor-
hees. says: Fathers great ambition
during the last 20 years of his life was
TO leave the congressional library as
monument to his statesmanship. He
did not want any of the credit due to
Librarian Spofford nor TO Architect
Smithmeyer. He wanted to have en-
during fame by receiving credit for his
years of work in endeavoring 70 induce
the congress to see the necessity Of a
national library and a fitting home for
that library. He lived to see the IL
brary begun, and told me that he feared
that he might not live TO see II finished.
But he did live TO see It in all Of fits
loneliness. and expressed TO me the
hope that some day due credit would
be given him for his part in that crea-
tion of utility and beauty"
Senator Voorhees, spoke thus not
only to his sons. but 10 his friends. On
one occasion he said to the writer:
"While all of his power and glory as
the ruler Of England's king have passed
away and been forgotten. Cardinal
Wolsey's monument of Christ col
lege endures and will endure forever.
What he did for the cause Of education
and enlightenment is everlasting.
What he did for the aggraDdizement
of Cardinal Wolsey only brought him
bitterness and most poignant grief"
Then the senator said. slowly and de-
liberately: "All that have done i'm
the fields Of politics and statecraft will
fade away. but the congressional H.
5rary viii endure forever. hope that
my name will endure with It, for 90
years of my life-welI-uiQh half of n

become members of his special joint
committee on the library. Without
powerful aid he could accomplish
nothing. lie talked to the strongest
and best men ia both houses of con-
gress, as well as in public speech, un-
III ne managed to attract serious at
tention to the condition of the Ii
brary, the necessity for its growth
and perpetuation. One by one these
men came to his side. His greatest
difficulty was in securing the active
cooperation of Representative Hol-
man, "the great objector," who
scrutinized even penuriousIy every
proposed appropriation of money out
OF the national treasury. When it
became known that Mr.. Holman was
in favor of the new library all of the
others who had been inclined to in
terpose objections withdrew their
opposition.
There were Is members of that
special joint committee on the IL
brary when the first appropriation
was made, and they are named above.
Out of that number ten have died.
Along with that of Voorhees, their
portraits and their names win en-
dure with the library. They are Sem
ator Morrill,, Senator Voorhees,, sena-
tor Gibson, Senator Bayard Sem
ator Sherman, Senator Lamar. Rem
resentatiyes Holman, O'Neill, Bland
and Cox. The five members of the
committee still living are Senators
Hoar, Miller, Cullom and Butler and
Representative Carlisle. Senator
Hoar and Senator Cullom are the only
members of that great committee
who are now serving in the congress.
Senator Hoar says: mo man was
ever more constantly in earnest about
anything in public life than Senator
voorhees, was in behalf of that new
library project. During the last few
years Of his life it seemed to be upper.
most In all his waking thoughts and
aspirations. lie never claimed dis
tinction for his work, but he deserved
and deserves renown for that pro-
longed effort in such good cause
Senator Cullom says: 1T was pleas
ure to work with Senator VOORHEES, on
that special committee and on any COM
mittee. He. was one of the most hon
est, earnest, energetic men that ever
lived When he took up law case he
never dropped it until the judge and
jury had spoken. Likewise, when he
undertook TO bring about a new build
ing for the congressional library. he
kept at it ever, until ii was an accom-
plished fact. Senator Morrill, also
worked side by side with Senator
voorhees, and deserves credit next to
the chairman for the achievement"

mans active career-T have devoted to
the accomplishment Of that great good
for my country and for the world"
The visible human motive power
back of the library building was
Senator Voorhees,. That his name
will be linked with the edifice now
seems certain. A local artist has
painted upon a canvas six by twelve
feet a group entitled: The promoters
OF the congressional library build
ing The central figure is that of
Senator Daniel w. Voorhees,, chair
man of the special joint committee
on the library, a committee which ex-
listed for II years. Senator Voorhees,
drew about him, gradually, the
strongest men in both houses Of the
congress, until he had special COM
mittee which could accomplish legis-
lation. The senator, and those who
came to his aid. were the joint in
visible power which finally secured an
appropriation to purchase the ground.
Then, after two years of effort, an APP
preparation TO pay for plans. Final
ly, appropriations from year to year
until the work was completed.
This painting which is to be placed
in the reception hall of the library
portrays with great skill the states
men who aided the chairman of the
special committee. Upon reading
their names you viii realize what a
great committee the Indiana states
man gradually gathered about him.
The painting shows two groups, one
back of the other. In the first group
are Senator Morrill,, of Vermont;
Senator Butler, of South Carolina;
Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts,;
Senator Voorhees,, of Indiana; Sena-
tor Randall Lee Gibson, of Louisiana;
Senator Cullom, of Illinois; lii
brarian Spofford: Architect of the
Capitol Edward Clark, and Senator
Lamar, of Mississippi. In the second
group are Senator Warner Miller, Of
New York; Representative Holman,
of Indiana; Senator Bayard. of Della
ware; Speaker Carlisle; Senator John
Sherman; Representative Charles
O'Neill. OF Pennsylvania; Representa-
tive Bland, of Missouri; Architect
Smithmeyer and Representative S. S.

Cancellation Wins Again.

Cancellation has won another i'm
portant victory in the shape of ma
terial increase in wages for all switch
men in the Chicago yards. While at
one time strike was a possibility, the
danger of one was at no time very
great. as every one conversant with
the history of the railroad brother
hoods know they act very conserva-
lively.
1t is to the credit OF the railroad
men that they act conservatively, for
a strike on railroad always affects
outside parties more than it does the
actual participants, and for that rea-
son the labor unions owe it to the
public to resort to strike only after
every honorable method to settle ami
cably has failed. The strike of the
freight handlers last summer was an
apt Illustration of what inconvenience
may be inflicted on the business and
manufacturing interests Of great city
through a hasty and ill-advised strike.

Musicians are Growing.


Owen Miller, secretary OF the
American Federation of Musicians,
gives the following report of the num-
ber of charters issued during the past
two months and the cause for the re-
markable growth in his organization:
Pontiac, ILL.,; Chicago (colored) (;
Fort Scott, Kan; Pottstown, Pa;
Council Bluffs, Iowa; lronton, Ohio;
Sherman, Texas: Kingston, N y;
Fall River, Mass; Victory Mills, N.

the most extraordinary record ever
made by the American Federation of
Musicians, or any other musical Or
ganization that ever existed in Ameri-
ca, and can be solely attributed to
Labor day. The members OF the
American Federation of Labor, with q
few exceptions, demanded union
music, and If the bands in their own
town were not organized, they invari-
ably insisted on them making an
application to the American Fedora
ton of Musicians, and this accounts
for the many charters issued re-
