Under the new regime the whip is
the speakers representative among
the majority members of the house.
In performing his duties the member
who fills the office sometimes has to
subordinate his own notion of things
to the will of the speaker. All plans
for Legislation by the house are formu-
lated in the speakers room. A few
members sit down with the presiding
officer and decide what bills shall be
considered by the house. In such a
large body it is impossible for the
speaker to confer with every member
of the body and so under the new ar
rangement it is the practice for mem
bers to reach the presiding officer fire.

GREAT POPULARITY OF
LIBRARY OF CONGRESS

EVIDENCE of the use the general
Il public is making of the great
library of congress is to be found in
the record of visitors to the building
during the last fiscal year. The WIS.,
itors numbered about $4,000. This
was daily average of 2,243 in the
1862 days on which the library was
open to the public.
The only days on which the great
bronze doors were closed throughout
the "a hours were July 5, the funeral
day of John Hay, July a and Christ
mas. On other legal holidays and
Sundays the building was open from
two to ten o'clock and on week days
from nine a. m. to ten p. m, except
ing Saturday afternoons in July, Au-
gust and September. Almost double
force is required for the building
which is open virtually day and even

April brought the largest number OF
visitors, the daily average for that
month being 3,101, and March was a
distant second, with a daily average
of 2.449. The day visitors to the Ii.
brary in April numbered 51,632, and
41,39S persons saw or used the library
after six O'Clock in that month. The
largest number of visitors in any one
day was 5,2S4, in April, and the
smallest 444, on one of the hottest
days in July.
An idea of the size of this library
may be obtained from the statistics
for last year, which showed a gain in
the number of volumes of 1896,
bringing the number of books on the
racks up to 1.379,244. The total of
books, pamphlets, maps and charts

other day. 1t had to do with the ten
der and imperishable friendship of
one woman, prosperous and happy, for
another, close to destitution and af-
fiicted with a physical ailment which
has made self-support impossible.
Lady Cook, formerely Tennessee
Claflin, now a resident of England,
was the benefactress and Olive Logan
the recipient. Tennessee Claflin and
Olive Logan. now past the middle
score of life, were intellectual and
famous women in America years ago.
They were friends way back in the
days of the civil war and were known
to presidents and public officials Of
administrations for two decades.
Tennessee Clafiin eventually mar
ried an English nobleman of wealth,
and her friend Olive drifted along
pursuing literary work. But Miss
Logan did not prosper and a short
time ago a New York newspaper told
of her want for the necessaries of
life. Lady Cook. her old friend. saw
the story and Immediately cabled

to see and aid her in person. There
was a pathetic scene on the pier at
New York when they met.
