STANDARD OIL TO PAY
Rent for Use Of Pipe Lines in South
east WASHINGTON

AS result of an energetic inquiry into a
recent allegation that certain pipe lines in
public space In Southeast Washington
were being used without payment of rental
to the District. Corporation Counsel E. H.
Thomas has submitted a report to the
Commissioners that the Standard OIL Com
pany, the present user of the lines, had
agreed to pay arrears of rent aggregating
81, $50. He recommended that the offer be
accepted and the Commissioners have SO
ordered.
OF the pipe lines the one known as the
Baughman line. extending from block No
697. on Half street southeast, to the Eastern
branch of the Potomac river, was laid I'M
der authorization of a permit Issued by the
Commissioners on October IA, 1896 The
other, known as the Ntcolai line, was laid
in a similar way from almost the same
point on Half street to the river. When the
matter was brought to light recently it de-
veloped that rent for the use of the streets
had, in neither case, been collected for
years. The adjustment for arrears with
the Standard OIL Company followed.

Handers oratorio, THE Messiah" was
sung Wednesday evening at Grace Church,
9th and D streets southwest, by the choir
of ST. PauPs Episcopal Church, with Z. T
Winchester at the organ. The rector an
nounced that the splendid rendition of this
notable work by choir of men and boys
was an epoch in the history of the church
and a revelation to him of what it was pos
sble to do with boys as choristers. The
choral effects We're beautiful and the tone
color uniformly good throughout the various
parts. Mr.. Thomas Evans Greene, tenor,
gave a fine rendition of the aria, Every
Valley Shall Be Exalted and has never
been heard to better advantage in this city.
Mrs Robert Fatt, soprano, was the only
person not connected with the choir. Mrs.
Fatt Is soloist at Grace Church, and sang
on this occasion the solos allotted to Mas
ter Van Week, who was indisposed. Her
work was a revelation to all present and
she evidenced a fine conception of the work
In hand
The other solos were rendered by Masters
kidwell and Boothby, sopranos, and Henry
Easton, contralto The whole work went
with a spirit and precision which was re-
freshing to hear and thoroughly enjoyed by
an audience which crowded the. church to
the doors.

A comparison between American and for
eign Journalism was the subject OF study
and discussion last evening at the meeting
OF the woman's National Press Association.
held in one OF the reference library rooms
| on the second story Of the Public Library
building. The meeting was well attended
by members of the association, and much
interest was shown in the subject under
discussion. Mrs. Ellen 8. Cromwell presi-
dent Of the associatio presided at the
meeting, and led in the discussion.
It was announced that the annual meet
Ing of the organization will be held at the
headquarters in the Bond building Friday.
January 10. At that meeting the national
officers will be elected including the presi-
dent, two local vice presidents and vice
president for each state in which there Is
an auxiliary, recording and correspond
ing secretary, a treasurer and an auditor
The discussion regarding the Journalism
Of the United States and that In other
countries was directed to English ana
American newspaper work. 1t was the.
view OF one member present that by the
many cartoons and expressions OF humor,
which would be ridiculed in London. the
United States takes the lead. Those car
toons, the speaker said, possess human ma
ture and human interest, which appeal 70
all. In defense Of the English newspaper II
was stated that the work of the Englsh
editor and reporter is very arduous ana
very exactng, and required men of talent.
But the English will wait until evening LOT
their news, while the American must nave
II at his noon lunch or on his way home
from the Office in the afternoon. This causes
great rivalry among the newspapers TO get
the news first.
In the course of the discussion several
books on Journalism were used, including
that by Gen. H. " Boynton, the late
Washington correspondent and others by
both English and American authors.

LIBRARY INTERESTS.
Two Papers Read at Meeting Of Dis
trict Association.


Two papers Of more than usual local in
terest were read Wednesday evening be-
fore the District Of Columbia Library AS
ISOLATION. at its meeting in the public
library. Prof. J. H. Gore OF George Wash
ington University presented a sketch Of DR.
Edward FarQufar. late assistant librarian
of the patent Office, aud one Of the founders
OF the Library Association. DR. Farquhar was
born In 1S43 at Sandy Spring, Nd. His
early life was spent on the farm, and the
few hours left unclaimed by the demands Of
farm work were devoted to study. He very
early acquired the habits Of thorough
scholarship In 1855 he came to Washing
ton to accept a position in the library OF
the patent office.
the city DR.. FarQuhar was associated In
tfmately with the master scientific and ut
erary minds of the capital. His learning
was remarkable in that he acquired 1t in
hours outside of his routine work at the
library of the patent Office and at Column
bdan College, where he served as professor
Of English literature.
Additional remarks upon the character
and attachments of DR.. Farquhar were
made by Mr.. Weston Flint and Miss Pollok
The second paper of the evening was a
description in very clear and full detail OF
the library Of the geological survey, by the
librarian, Mr. f. B. Weeks The associa-
ton has planned for a series of papers de-
scribing the libraries of Washington Mr..
W eeKS paper was the flrSt or the series.
Before describing the library Mr.. Weeks
gave in outline the history and work of the
geological survey The nucleus of the
library, he said. was formed of the collec-
tion Of state geological survey reports given
by Major j. w. Powell. In 1882 there were
approximately 100 volumes. To this was
added a collection of 1000 volumes, belong
ing to DR.. +. " Hayden, and later the
library of Mr.. Robert Clark of Cincinnati,
consisting of early state geological reports
Other important additions have been the
books purchased from the library of the
Museum d'Histoire Naturelle, and those
presented by Miss Frances Lea.
There are In the library at present 10000
books, approximately $4,000 pamphlets and
10000 maps. The estimated cost of replac-
ing the material Is one million and a half
dollars. The library is one of the most
complete collections pertaining to geology.
The library of the Museum of Comparative
Zoology and the library of the geological
survey of London may be said to compare
faVorabiy with it.

AWARD EXCEEDS ESTIMATE.
Acceptance of Report on Anacostia
Bridge Approaches Recommended.

In forwarding report to the Commis-
sioners concerning the condemnation OF
land for the approaches to the new Ana
costa bridge, Captain Jay ]. Morrow, as
sistant to the Engineer Commissioner.
has stated that the awards of the commits
sion appointed by the court to appraise
values exceeded the estimates of the en-
gneer department by about 1907. He rec
commended, however, that steps be taken
to secure confirmation of the award, stat
ing that it was probable that further pro-
ceedings would not result in securing the
property at a lower figure. This recon-
mendation has been approved by Com
missioner Biddle.
Corporation Counsel E. II. Thomas, who
made return of the award of the commits
sion, stated that 1892. So had been allowed
for land taken and $500 for improvements,
this being at a valuation of about fifty
cents per square foot.
