The bankruptcy of an officer whose ex-

LIBRARY ASSOCIATION.
MI. George F. Bowerman to Attend
Sessions in Portland, Ore,

Next Monday Mr.. George F. Bowerman,
librarian of the Public Library, will leave
Washington for Portland, Ore, to attend
the annual meeting of the American Ii
brary Association, which is to be held in
that city July As. This is the first time
In ten years that the association has met
west of the Rocky mountains. The oppor-
tunity offered by the Lewis and Clark ex-
position for an especially interesting journey
was accepted by the association the more
eagerly because of the fact that library
interest is not strong on the Pacific coast,
and it was believed that the assembage of
the organization at Portland would serve
good missionary purpose, in stimulating
public appreciation of the need of good
library work in communities.
notwithstanding the great distance to the
scene of the meeting it is expected that
the sessions of the association will be large
ly attended by representatives from the
east From present reports it is probable
that over 200 people will attend from this
side of the Rocky mountains. Arrange
ments have been made for a special train
to run from St. Paul to Portland and
special cars will run from Boston, New
York and Philadelphia to ST Paul
Several of the officials of the Library OF
Congress, including Librarian Putnam,
have already gore to Portland. Their pres
ence there, however. is in part required by
the fact that the Library of Congress has
an exhibit at the Lewis and Clark expo
sition, consisting of additions to the exhibit
which was sent to the ST. Louis fair.

CAPTURED IN PITTSBURG.
William Warfield Accused of Having
Stolen Watch in His Possession.

Capt. Boardman received message from
the Pittsburg, Pa, police authorities last
night telling of the arrest in that city of a
colored man named William Warfield. 1t
was explained in the message that the pris-
oner had watch on him and said he had
received it from colored man in this city
known as Buddy Johnson. The watch,
it turned out, had been taken from the Chi
nese laundry of Lee Hing 1417h P street
northwest. Detective Helan was sent to
Pittsburg to make a further investigation
of the case there. Today he wired Capt.
Boardman that Warfield had been SEN
fenced to pay a fine of 500 and to serve
one month in Jail for receiving stolen prop
erty
William. alias Buddy" Johnson was ar
rested at his home in this city today and
held for further investigation. The police
say that Wartield and Johnson have been
arrested on previous occasions for alleged
robberies at Chinese laundries A Chinese
resident of chinatown was robbed last
week and the detectives are endeavoring
to locate the robbers and the property
taken by them.

The Huckster Nuisance.

10 the Editor OF The Star:
I desire to thank you from the bottom of
my heart for your timely and forcefuI edi-
torial in Fridays paper on the huckster
nuisance. You certainly voice the sentiment
of the people, you always do on NUM-
cipal affairs My heart sank low when /
read in Thursdays Star the news articles
entitled "Hucksters May Win Out" for we
have lately been enjoying a respite from
the horrible yelling that generally pervades
many of the residence sections, and even
business sections, like 9th and F streets
Why few persons should be given the
privilege of driving fairly crazy / am at
a loss to perceive. If they can't sell their
goods without bowling through the streets
it Is simply because the goods are not
worth having. Who wants a lot of fly
blown fish after being dragged around the
streets in the broiling sun and dust for
hours? There are people for whom noises
seem, for time at least, to have no terrors,
and l have been laughed at by such, but
later on the noise microbes has gotten in it's
deadly work, and then these former inn
munes become as susceptible as the rest of
US.
I have no doubt that good many old
fish and ancient vegetables and fruit would
find their way to the swill barrels of the
commission merchants if these howlers were
abated. but would not the people be bene-
flied thereby? Where there are no markets
at ones very door there are green groceries
on almost every corner
The fact that the Commissioners have re-
ceived only one complaint proves nothing,
for the people don't, as a rule, write to
them on such matters, but complain to the
police lieutenants of the several precincts
These obliging and courteous officials could
doubtless produce many formal complaints
and cite verbal complaints about this huck-
ster nuisance by the hundreds
AS to East Washington desiring to he
made the special hunting grounds of noise
makers, don't believe one word of it. and
ir Justice to their section I fhink It's resi-
dents should at once file their protests, for
property values will be ruined with any
such condition of affairs as free yelling
in East Washington"
There should be no time limit and no
volume or distance limit given these dis
turbers of the peace or else the rule will
have been issued in vain. Stand by the
present rule and enforce it rigidly.

Spelling.
From the indianapolis News.


Dogberry told neighbor Seacole that to be
a Wel-favored man was gift of fortune,
but that to write and read comes by ma
ture. AS there is generally a great truth
underneath well as on the surface of
Shakespeare, one wonders if all of this
'Dogberryism" were meant for mere fool
ing and if there were not truth hid in the
saying that to be well favored is a gift of
fortune, since we know, this world goes,
how beautiful heiresses are, and how dis
tirguished in appearance men of station
are; and might there also be hint of nat
ural truth in reading and writing coming
Dy nature? The query rises on the empha-
SIS that the many public expressions on
what should be taught in our public schools
have laid on spelling
One has not gone very deeDly into human
nature that has not learned that to spell
correctly. in a way, comes by nature
There is an order of mind temperament
that produces the good speller, and it is
doubtful II lacking that order there ever
was good speller. We recognize varia-
tons of ability in what is called, for ex-
ample, the mathematical mind To some
minds hgures are delight. For such fig
ures ran into orderly array. increase and
multiply and prove" themselves with
truth and beauty that are like the unfold
ing of a natural law. The process to other
minds is as bewidering as the combina-
Different in degree rather than kind is
the good speler and the poor one. Our
language being in large part so arbitrary
in its spelling, good spelling is more than
matter of learning and experience. Men
of great powers of mind are, in some in
stances. VIGOROUSLY bad spoilers. while the
world is full of "hair-trigger' minds that
cannot go wrong in spelling words-and
that is about all they can do with them.
We are not proposing dispute nor making
omparisons-which are always odious. We
mean merely to suggest, anent the great
stress that has been put on correct spelling,
that possibly it is overvalued both for itself
and what 1t stands for.
good memory is desirable. But MEM
CRY may be cultivated at the expense of
Judgment and the reasoning powers. So
the cultivation of accuracy in detail may
cause sacrifice of the power of generaliza-
ton. and were 1t not as wise, or unwise,
to hold one in contempt for lack of rea-
soning powers TO hold one so for lack of
memory in detail as proved by spelling?
1t is a truth that there are some minds Of
decided powers in different directions that
cannot be made good spoilers" Let us
strive after correct spelling by all means,
but let us not fall into the mistake Of
thinking it stands for more than 1t really
does.

Late Baron de Rothschild's Prediction

Baron Alphonse took a pessimistic view
for some years of the prospects of the enor-
mously wealthy class. He said at Dinard
when last staying there that the man worth
$4,000 a year would be thought enviably
wealthy by the rich before the twentieth
century was well on toward middle age.
His annual speech as chairman of the
Northern railway was alarmist. Burdens,
he said. were being put on railways which
they could not bear. He meant that the
French government played too much into
the hands of the railway servants. who
want shorter hours and higher wages than
can be afforded.

The New Yorker can ride to Chicago as

Salt Lake as quickly today as he could to
Chicago In 1854. just after through-rail
connection between New York and the lake
city was first opened. Yet the work of an
Initiating time has only started From the
speed attained by electricity recently in ex-

twelve hour trains from New York to Chi
