HE is HERE TO SPEND A WEEK
His Stay VIII he Devoted to Looking
Over the Political
Situation.

Congressman Loren Fletcher arrived
home this morning from Washington and
will remain here through the week. He
came, he says, to get his family settled
for the summer, as he does not expect
congress to adjourn much before July.
While he is in Minneapolis he wishes to
meet as many of his friends as possible.
Everything is in most satisfactory
shape down there in Washington" said
practically everything I asked for. The
postoffice appropriation, the river and
harbor bill, both went through all right.
What is more, believe matters are shap-
ing themselves favorably with regard to
the Fort Smelling enlargement bill, and
that Representative Stevens and myself
will be able to secure its passage shortly.
The London dockage bill hasn't been
passed yet simply because we haven't been
able to get to it, but it will be passed
later. 1 am confident of that" s
Speaking of the insurgents" Mr..
Fletcher said that members of the house
who had been so termed were getting
along very WELL He believed their pres
ttge had geenN greatly increased rather
than diminished by the action taken.
This afternoon Mr.. Fletcher went to
st. Paul to meet Representatives Stevens even
and Tawney. He said he knew nothing
about local politics, but added that ne
intended to post himself on the situation
before he returned to Washington. TO a
friend who stopped him outside OF the
postoff1ce and rendered, his support, Mr.
Fletcher said: II thank you. don't be-

A TRIBUTE TO RUSSELL
Jenlxin Lloyd Jones Speaks of the
Dead Actor.

Dead Actor.
Rev. DR.. Jenkin Lloyd Jones, who occupied
the pulpit of the First Unitarian church yes
terday morning and afternoon, paid tribute
to the late Sol Smith Russell, who attended
the First Unitarian church whenever ne was
in the city. DR.. Lloyds topic was "Noblesse
Oblige." and in the course of his sermon ne
said:
cannot but think of one of your own fel-
low citizens to whom was given a rare com
bination of head and heart. Money obll-
gates but the grain obligates more; and the
heart and conscience obligatei most of all.
So it was with Sol Smith Russell. He MADE
the theories of the pulpit real upon-tne stage.
The message he preached was noDlesse
oblige"; and the creed he. governed MS lie
by off the stage was the same-noblesse
oblige. -, -, ~
In the afternoon DR.. Lloyd delivered a. lee
ture on "Kipling," in the course OF winch
he criticized the creator of Kim some
what sharply. He said Kipling had been
disappointment to him, and then, in response
to an inquiry made by Judge +. q. BrooKs
from the audience, explained that the famous
Englishman had too much ''the swing OF the
newspaper man." The 'hackheyed style o.
the modern newspaper DR.. Lloyd conslo
cred a menace to literature and he expressed
a fear that Kiplng had suffered incuraols
from it's bighting effects. The speaker alss
deplored the fact that Kipling appeared 70 re
greet the Boer war not because 1t was strug
gle, of unrighteousness, but because TN
| British, somehow, appeared to nave lost IN
| art of killing quickly.

SCHOOL OF METHODS.
Librarians Will Be Benefited by the
Summer School.
A SPECIAL COURSE FOR THEM
Instruction Will BE Especially VAL
liable for Those in Charge of
School Libraries.

The Minnesota state library commission
will have a course in library training at
the summer school at the university from
July IA to Aug. q. This will be the third
year that the commission has maintained
a department of the summer school and
the course is intended for the librarians
of the smaller public and school libraries
who have had no opportunity for library
training.
A great many new libraries are being
opened in Minnesota. and many of the
older libraries have never been properly
organized. 1t is not enough in starting
a library to buy some books, put them in
any order on book shelves and give them
out whenever they are called for. 1t is
very important that even tho smallest
library should be started according to the
best library methods.
1t is especially desirable that librarians
of school libraries should take the course.
The school libraries Of the state are grow
ing rapidly, and many superintendent
of better organization. The commission
has received many calls for assistance in
this direction, but must, of course, give
it's attention first to the public libraries
of the state.
The summer training course will be I'M
der TIE direction of Mrs. W. J. South
ward, a graduate of the Armour Institute
Library school. who has had wide ex-
perience in cataloging and organizing
libraries. She will be assisted by Miss
Clara F. Baldwin, the librarian of the
commission, and special lectures will be
given by experienced library workers anc
members CT the faculty of the summer
school. t~E"
No entrance examinations are required
and the course will follow the treatmen
of a book in logical order through all the
processes of the library, book selecting
ordering, mechanical processes, accession
ing, classifying, shelf listing, cataloging
loan, withdrawal, repairing and binding
Special attention will be given to simple
records and economical devices for us'
where funds are limited. No text books
will be used ard the instruction will b,
by lectures and practical work. The worl
is planned to require six long hours day
Advanced work in cataloging will be Civ
en- those who have had enough practlca
| experience in other lines of work. Tn
| Minneapolis, St. Paul and Saltwater pub
lie Libraries and the library OF the stat
historical society will be visited.
