MANYNAMES ENROLLED

Which Mr.. G. J. Bell
VIII Preside.

More than sixty firms and individuals
have already signed the agreement to join
the shippers association to be formed at a
meeting next Thursday at the offices of the
American Security and Trust Company.
This Is season when many OF the business
men of Washington are out of town On
vacation, but each day brings In more aic-
ceptances to the invitation to help form the
association. and It Is believed that before
tho meeting Is called to order there will be
over a hundred members enrolled

It is seldom that any movement for the

OF the rules may be laid before ths Wash :.

there has been nothing in that line re-

meeting Is called there will be material
enough on hand. and that there Will be
something in the way Of a plan OF organ

them see what has been done in the same
line In other cities.
Mr.. c. J. Bell will be chairman Of the
meeting. and the hope Is expressed that If
any local firms who are interested in the
movement have been overlooked through

THE ROUNDS OF HIS OFFICE. =
Especially Impressed With the Smooth
Way in Which Things
Were Running.

Postmaster Barnes this morning maze
the rounds OF the big office OF which ne IL
now N charge and became acquainted with
between thres and four hundred employees.
When ne had finished he remarked to q star
reporter that he was very well impressed
with what he had seen ana expected his
relations with his associates to be of the
pleasanteSt.
''Of course he said. II have not had
time to learn a great deal about this Inn
mense piece Of machinery; but found my
trip very interesting. l was especially Inn
pressed with the smooth working OF the
complicated plant When I have been here
longer l shall be able to tell more about
my Impressions Within few DAYS / ex-
pect to make a tour of the various stations
throughout the city. and there to become
personally acquainted with the employees"
Visiting the suhstations will be quite a
task for the new postmaster, as there are
thirteen of the larger or lettered stations
and sixty-two OF the smaller or numbered
ones.
The assistant postmaster, Mr. Madison
Davis. conducted Mr.. Barnes through the
main ONCE today. In each Of the four d;vis-
Ions Mr. Davis introduced him to the CHIEFS
who personally showed him all that II was
possible to see In 80 short time. Foremen,
clerks and carriers were presented and
shook hands with their new head. In-the

Although notice had been sent out to
the various substations that the new post
master did not desire any flowers sent to
his desk, when he arrived this morning
two great foral pieces were on hand One
was from station B. In the northeast. and
the other from station @. on @ street north
west. These stations probably did not re-
eeiye the order in time
During the three hours spent by Mr..
Barnes In looking about the office this
morning and during the hour just after his
arrival in the building. when he was at his
desk. callers streamed in to tender their
best wishes Only few of these found him
"at home" of course. The others left their
cards. or promised to return.
Among those who called were Gen. w w.
Dudley, Mr.. q. H. Warner, Col william H.
Crook. Mr.. Nichoi Main and Mr.. Louis P.
Coolidge.
Postmaster Barnes L. likely to be very
busy man for the next few days Before

NAPoLEoN's BOOKS.
Two Travelling Libraries That Throw
Light on His Literary Taste.

From the Atlantic Monthly.
The library which Napoleon carried out
with him to Egypt in f79s Is probably q
true reflection OF his mental makeup. IL
included thirteen volumes OF arts and SCI
ences: forty volumes OF geography and
travel, among which the voyage of Cap
tain Cook is conspicuous; one hundred
and twenty-five historical works ancient.
medieval and modern; forty volumes OF
poetry. the chief among which were Homer
Vergil. Tasso, Ariosto. ossian ana Vol
taire's '.Henriade'; twenty volumes OF the
masterpieces of the French stage: the Old
and New Testaments; the Koran; the We
das; works on mythology; and. FOR
fiction, a few novels of Voltaire. Rousseau's
"NouYelle Heioise," Goethe's "Werther'
and forty English novels in translation.
Prof. Sloane says that Napoleon s, sister
Caroline added a copy OF Bacon's "Es-
says" Nine. de Stael's De Influence des
Passions" which had just been published
and Mercer's VISIONS Phlosophiqnes"
In 1908 Napoleon formed the idea Of hav-
ing a travelling library, in order to make
his hours of intellectual recreation indie
pendent of the exigencies OF a campaign
or the delays of a courier. Obviously
such a collection OF books would have
to be selected with great care, that
the library might be a portable one; and
consequently the minute Instructions
to its care are, as It were. picture Of his
mind. i
The proposed library was to form about
q thousand volumes The books were to be
of small duodecimo size printed in good
type. and without margins in order TO save
space. They were to be bound in morocco.
with flexible covers and limp backs. The
boxes for their conveyance were to be
covered with leather and lined with green
velvet, and were to average sixty volumes
apiece In two rows. like the shelves In a
library. A catalog was TO accompany them.
so arranged that the emperor could readily
find any desired volume. The distribution
Of subjects was as follows: Forty volumes
OF religion; forty volumes OF epic poetry:
forty OF the drama: sixty volumes OF tho
other poetry; sixty volumes Of history:
and one hundred novels In order to
complete the quota" ran the instructions.
''the balance shall be made up OF historical
memoirs" Among the religious works
were the Old and New Testaments and the
Koran. works church history. including
some upon the Lutheran and the CaIvinists
movements. The epics Included Homer
Lucan, Tasso, the "Henriade" and so
forth; the drama. selected tragedies of Cor
nellie. Racine and voltaire Comedy Ma
poleon could not endure; mot a work or
Moliere," he says. The history Included
some good chronological works, standard
histories OF France, Ike that OF MaIby,
Machiavelli's "Dscourses on Ivy" some
of yoitaires historical writings, Monies
quieu's Esprit de Lois and a French
translation of Gibbon. Among the novels
were the .'Nouvelle Heloise. lie Sage's
'Contes." and French versions of Richard
sons and Ffelding's works. Indeed or
English fiction Napoleon was very fond.
