LIBRARY ASSOCIATION MEETING
Arrangements for Compilation Of
Handbook.

The District Of Columbia Library Associa-
ton at It's regular monthly meeting last
evening In the Public Library appointed a
committee to arrange fo. the compilation
of handbook of all the libraries OF the
District
Mr.. F. A Crandau the first superintend-
ent of documents, now in charge OF the
library connected with the office. delivered
short address, in which he described the
formation and present condition of the
library. The papers read during the evening
were devoted TO the publications OF the OF
fee OF the superintendent Of documents and
to a description OF the library.
The law of 1885, which provided for the
establishment Of the Office of the superin-
tendent of documents did not mention a
library. When the organization of the office
was considered about the first thing men
toned was library. 1t was evident that
the office would soon contain several thou-
sand documents of ali dates from the estab-
lshment Of the government to the present
time, and there would be no way In which
these documents could be made readily &C
cessible and brought into orderly arrange
ment, unless a library was provided. The
law of 1895 stipulates that the public printer
and oil government officials shall send to
the superintendent OF documents one copy
Of every official publication which they
might publish. This copy finds its way
eventually to the library, which Is made up
of government publications.
Miss Alice Ffchtenkam, in charge of the
catalogue division of the office of the SUI
perintendent of documents, described briefly
the monthly catalogue Of documents, the
document index of the reports and docu-
ments issued by Congress each session and
the document catalogue, issued bennially
which contains all the publications of an
entire Congress. Miss Fichtenkam quoted
from authorities in approval of the publica-
lions of the office.
An account Of the classification and in
dexing Of the public documents of the
library was given by Mr.. William l.. Post
superintendent of documents. The classic
cation in use was devised specially for the
library. Mr.. Post described fully the special
lists or manuals intended to assist librarians
in the use of public documents, now in
course of preparation by the office.

Fresh Butter Is Scarce.

There has been practically no change in
the butter and egg market since last week.
Fresh butter Is still scarce and not cheap,
but cold storage butter is more than plenti-
full and cheap. This week some OF the
storage stock was sent from here to New
York TO be shipped to Europe. The ship
ment, It Is stated. was large enough to
relieve local dealers Of a large portion or
their surplus stock. Eggs are still plenti-
full at q cents a dozen, the cold weather
having a tendency to hold up the price.
Selected stock is selling at IS cents. The
meat market is about the same as II was
last week no changes having been made
in the retail prices. Turkeys, chickens and
ducks are also quoted at prices the same
as they were last week.
