Monday.

A hearing in a civil case was held Mon

the justice. After a lengthy hearing the

interest and costs. The book account has
been running about seven years. G. r.
Peck appeared for the plaintiff and Hop
kins and Grossman for the defendant.

congressional Library STATISTICS.
There is still some material in the
library unclsssifed but and early ac-
ourate count gives the number of
books of all kinds 1899, 497; of pamph-
lets 3l4.614 These figures relate to
the library only and do not include the
copyright files. Nearly 81, 300 books
and pamphlets were classified during
the year There were SO, 49S volumes
cataloged during the year and 39l, 500
cars added to the three catalogs.
Perhaps the most important special
work now under consideration by the
institution is the preparation of an
index to comparative legislation. 1t
is proposed to cover the laws of the
civilized world in this work, which
if carried out along the suggested line
will be an undertaking as valuable as
it is unique. The reports of the
