| That Lafayette's services to this
country are still held in cherished
memory is shown by the great value
placed on relics Of the generous French
man. The marquis's chaise, in good
preservation, has just been placed In
the Memorial Hall at Cincinnati. But
America once had an opportunity to
express her thanks in more practical
and satisfactory form than by giving
ovations or collecting souvenirs. Murat
Halstead, in an article in the Cosmo-
politan, gives an account Of how James
Monroe did the good turn which the
marquiss services deserved.
Lafayette, favorite at court, gay
young soldier married at the age of 16,
was an officer at the garrison Of Metz
when the impulse came on him TO seek
adventure in America. He came with
out leave, without the consent or the
countenance of the French government.
He was an enthusiast for humanity and
liberty. What he did for America ev-
cry schoolboy knows.
Later, when the war was over, the
marquis and his fNmily were back in
France. James Monroe, American min
lister, arrived in Paris just after the
fall of Robespierre. The news was
brought to him that Madame Lafayette
was In prison, and that all efforts for
her release had failed.
Monroe was placed in delicate posi-
ton, between his official station and
his sense of his country's obligation.
In his report of the affair he declares
that ne is prepared to go beyond the
line Of official reserve" to save the lady.
Behind those dull lines Of report there
Is story full Of interest.
Monroe was not man to weigh con-
| sequences when he bore in mind how
much his nation owed to Lafayette. An
extremity was threatening, and he
CROSSED the line"
Learning that Madame Lafayette
was soon to be led to the guillotine, he
sent his wife to La Force prison in the
official carriage Of the legation. The
poppih6S dliuouuCeu W every ole Iue
dignity of the American minister, then
the only representative in Paris of any
Of the nations Of the earth.
Mrs. Monroe played her part with
charming audacity. She did not go as
suppliant, but In state, demanding
admittance
Madame Lafayette, expecting every
moment a summons to the scaffold, was
told that the wife Of the American
minister wished to see her. Feeling
hope of rescue, the poor woman fell
sobbing at Mrs Monroes feet The
wife of the minister raised her tender
ly and spoke words of cheer. Theu
she announced in a tone which was
heard by the officials that she would
call the next day. When that time
came, however, 1t was not necessary to
keep her promise. Madame Lafayette
had been released.
She fastened Immediately TO the
house Of the Monroes to express her
gratitude for their timely aid.

Bacteria as Enrineers,

Improbable as 1t may seem, states
scientist in the government employ,
1t appears to be fact that bacteria are
able to cause the breaking down OF
stone walls.
Recent Investigations have shown
that nitrlfying bacteria swarm in the
mud forced by the disintegratlon OF
cement in reservoirs, and it Is believed
that the decay of the cement results
from the action Of nitrous acid pro
duced by the bacteria. Yet these same

nevertheless Of immense use to man

CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY.
Great Number of Visitors During
Month Of August.

During the month of August nearly 100 900
people passed through the front doors Of
the Congressional Library building, thus
breaking all past records of this place of
public interest.
The thousands of jamestown visitors who
have made the Capital city an objective
point this summer. of course. are the source
OF this immense crowd. All day long and
In the evening the doorkeepers and guides
In the Library building are kept busy check
ing umbrellas, cameras hats and other
things too numerous to mention.
The doorkeepers at the main door into
the reading room of the library have had
a hard time to keep the crowd from the
reading room. which, under the regulations,
is reserved for readers only. Questions
are asked by many visitors as to the rea-
sons why they can't walk in. The expla-
nation Is made over and over again, and
the gallery referred to, where the reading
room can be seen to a much better advan-
tage than on the main floor. The door
keepers have tally registers, by which those
who pass in are counted. This is done in
such way that no one knows 1t. This is
the method by which the number of per-
sons who visit this building in each year is
ascertained.
Under the regulations of the library, UNI
checked at the main doors. therefore pro-
vision Is made for this work as fast as
possible.
Umbrellas, walking sticks, canes and
cameras of every description are left here
while the building is inspected.
The Congressional Library building is
perhaps the most popular place for the
sightseer in Washington now. many thou
few hours only make for the library at
once.

workmen had been to the hall Of the Build
ing Trades Council. which is located on an
upper floor Of the saloon building. and later

RECKLESS MOTOR BOATS.
Complaints Received Of the Manner
In Which They Are Run.

Complaints have been coming. it is
stated. to the bureau Of navigation Of the
Department of Commerce and Labor from
New York and other ports Of the dan
gerous way in which motor boats are be-
ing navigated. and 1t was suggested that
new rules were necessary for the naviga-
tion Of these boats in order to render the
waters of these ports more safe. The
department, however, has no intention of
adopting any new rules governing the
movements Of motor boats, as. in the opin-
ion Of Assistant Secretary Murray, the
existing regulations are ample enough to
enforce the proper handling Of these boats
and to prevent" the disregard Of the OBJ
servation Of proper sailing regulations.
All that Will be done, therefore, Is to- d.
rect the proper officials to apply with
strictness the rules relating to the carry
ing Of signal lights and the giving Of
proper warnings when motor boats are
about to pass other craft or one another.

STILLINGS WOULDN'T LET POOR
PRINTER KEEP SUBSCRIPTION.

Many of the compositors at the govern
ment printing office are said to be incensed
over the recent action of the public printer
in ordering that collection taken up for
bedridden printer be returned % the
donors. According to the statement of
one of the officials a '-twenty-five-cent coll
lection" had been taken up in the office
for a. typo who had been i'll for four
months. The workers in the printery
Clipped in with willingness. but failed to
notify Mr.. Stillings Of the affair.
In the meantime. 1t is said. the printer
returned to his duties a weak convalescent.
scarcely able to perform his stint" When
Stillings heard Of the collection and that
the invalid was again ''at the case" though
scarcely able to be there, he is said to
have stormed about, and wound up his
performance by issuing an order that the
twenty-flve-cent pieces be returned to
those who had contributed them.
The return of the money necessitated
the expenditure Of considerable effort and
time, but the order was religiously car
ried out with one exception. A single
list, containing the name of sixty-three
contributors, was withheld from the dis
tributing agents of the public printer, and
the money was given to the printer who
was said to be in dire need because of his
long siege of Illness.
This action of Stillings." said a typo
today. 'is but another illustration Of his
arbitariness. and illustrates why the, en-
ployes of the printery. with but few
ceptions. desire to see him succeeded by
a more reasonable man with more humane
