Local Library Development.
Washington's Public Library has de-
Veioped on sound lines and is now firm
ly established on a solid foundation.
Through the energy and intelligent
public spirit of citizens of Washington,
In conjunction with progressive legisla-
tors in Congress, the library was created
as tax-sustained institution. in dis
JUNCTION from the unstable and ephem-
eral subscription supported library. 1t
was from the beginning a true Public
Library of the modern type, designed
ior and supported by all the people of
the community.
Through the benefcence of Mr. Car
negie this tax-sustained library is en-
joying a commodious and attractive
home years before the suitable accom-
modations provided for it by law in the
prospective municipal building could be-
come available for it's USE
MIR. Carnegie has also made provision
Tor the housing of future branch libra
ries in the District of Columbia, and
there is no limit upon the development
cept that found in the restricted ability
OF the community to provide for their
suitable maintenance.
through the liberal donations of
money and books by the people of
Washington, through a wise appropria-
ton of $4,000 for the purchase of books
from the municipal revenues, and
through the statutory diversion to it's
shelves of miscellaneous circulating
books from the departmental and other
public libraries in Washington, the
library is reasonably well supplied with
books and will apparently in a short
time be fully equipped to serve the pub
lie as efficiently as possible along the
lines OF the announced purposes of its
creation.
The library1s thus firmly rooted and has
BEAUTIFULLY and strongly developed: and
1T VIII doubtless soon be made by wise
legislative and executive action the per-
feet complement of the great reference
collection of the Library of Congress,
bestowtng conspicuous and appreciated
blessings upon a book loving public as
the nations circulating library at the
national capital.

Cultured Golden Rod.

From the Boston Transcript
In a suburban flower garden the other
day 1 noticed gorgeous glow of brilliant
yellow banked against an unsightly low
board fence. and completely hiding 1t from
the street view The yellow Powered wall
served as a background for a mass OF white
and purple asters. The whole effect was
SO picturesque and complete a whole
that 1t seemed deserving of closer study
than a casual glance from the street Per
mission was granted TO visit the spot at the
back of the garden, when 1T was found that
the banks and masses of glowing yellow
was simply the common wild golden rod
that had been transplanted during the pre-
yious fall and had grown to an unusual
height and produced profuse plumes OF
bloom by careful cultivation. Even the
farmer who had ridiculed the idea OF
"planting that common yaller weed in the
garden (Which he was asked to supply a
quantity of the roots from his pasture land
the previous autumn) agreed that the effect
WIS most charmingly satisfactory when ar
ranged as n background for the bed OF
asters.

Activity Of the Library.
The use of the commodious new build
ing for part of the year has enabled the
library to make a new record in respect
to the activity and usefulness of it's
books. The total issue of books for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1893, was 214,-
261, or an average of 1855 volumes a
month. The total Increase of issue over
the previous ysf was pan 4o o. AND nHa mS 10
cent. The number. of books in the
library on June 30. 1902, was 35,O41, and
on June 81, 1903, was % ,621.
The detailed figures Of the library's
development are given In the librarians
report, which is Herewith transmitted.
Appended to the trustees report are
also the organic act and the bylaws,
rules and regulations of the library.
Needs Of tho Library.
The immediate needs OF the library, as
enumerated on the occasion of the OPEN
ing of the new building. have already
degree satisfied. Mr.. Carnegie, for in
| stance, has made provision for branch
| libraries, and by his supplementary do
nation has provided some establishment
| by the painter OF the interior of the new
| building. Mr. L. Amateis Of this city is
| making a bust of Mr.. Carnegie, which he
| will donate in bronze to the Public
| Library. 1t is hoped that the movements
1Or SuDScflplioH inoiuihehts " Lonsiei-
| low and Burns may be crowned with sue
| cess and that these statues may be
| placed on the pedestals in front OF the
| library building.
There still remains in part unsatis-
| fed the library's need of books. These
| are to be derived from three sources: (a)
| Private donations, (b) purchases through
| appropriations from the District reve-
| nues and (c) donations or loans of mis-
| ceilaneous circulation bucks from the
| departmental libraries and the Library
of Congress.

the apostolic delegate in the Philip,

touches had been put on the contract
between the United States govern

In his cable the delegate asks the
archbishop to Join With him in rejoic-

In discussing the matter last night
Archbishop Ireland said:
81 want to add TO this my expression
of great pleasure at the termination of
the long-drawn negotiations for the
sale of these lands in the Philippines.
"All praise must he awarded to Gov
ernor Taft and NIonsignor Guidi, who
have lahored hard to bring all parties
interested in this matter to final u1l-
derstanding. From the time of the
arrival of Monsignor Guidi in the is
lands there has been the warlnest
friendship between him and the Phil
ippine government.
'"rhe disposal of the land, together
with the arrival of the American bisll-
ops i'll the islands puts an end to all
political-religious controversies in tho
Philippines and inaugurates there an
era of civil and religious peace.
"The administration of President
Roosevelt is to he congratulated on the
present condition of things in the is
lands.
ut is due to his wisdom and fore
thought that caused Governor Taft,
some eighteen months ago, to visit
Rome and talk directly with the head
of the Church about the friar land
matters.
Pope Leo and Governor Taft show
ed themselves to be of one mind as to
the main lines of policy to be follow
ed. The negotiations then begun in
Rome were afterwards transferred to
the Philippines where Monsignor Guidi
continued the prudent and far-sighted
policy of his master, Leo XIII.
THAT lcnceforward the Church in

will know what course wisdom and
justice dictates and they will follow
that course.
