Since the last meeting OIL the
trustees Of the Public Library OF the
District of Columbia Aiasworth Rand
Spoeford. LID, a member Of the board
practically from its organization. has
been removed by death from further
participa ton in their councils.
DIR. Srofford brought to the service
of the Public Library in its infancy a
marvelously broad and exact knowl-
edge Of books and their contents. and
a fine and keen appreciation OF and
catholic taste in literature. AS chair
man of the committee on books from
the establishment % the library. he
exercised a strong influence in de-
ternining the character of the book
collection as an agent Of popular edu-
cation, by the formulation of general
policies. by drawing up lists for pur-
chase end by almost daily counterSiS-
nature OF book orders. Never absent
from the meetings Of the trustees. cN-
cept when detained by illness, he al
ways gave of his best. and that was
founded Oh sound Judgment and ripe
experience.
When appointed to the board he was
librarian OF Congress- His remarka-
bic career in that ofIice and later in
that Of chief assistant librarian; his
services to Legislators and to literary
workers.: his own contributions to
literature: his large responsibility in
bringing about the erection o. the Con-
greS:;ionaI Library building-these are
all matters of common knowledge
throughout tho literary world
He VS. also long known to the
members Of this board AZ one of the
Oldest and most highly honored of pub
lie servants; lie Was one OF the most
conspicuous figures i'll the literary and
scientific circles of the capital. where
lie shone as delightful conversational
list. ready debaeeT and polished and
forceful essayist: he was a genial and
courtly host. and ever a fine gentle
man Of the old school; as citizen.
ncighbor and friend he was upright
and honorable, devoted and loyal.
The Public Library trustees desire
to express their appreciation of his
long. devoted and valued services to
the library and their admiration Of
his high character, and to place upon
record this testimonial of their grief at
his removal from their councils and
from his accustomed place in the COM
munity.
Wherefore. be it resolved, That this
expression of their esteem and regard
Of the Public Library trustees. and
that u copy. properly transcribed. be
transmitted to the surviving family of
DR.. SpOffOrd."

EXCURSIONS.

Although the season is well advanced.
there is still good demand for the Nor
folk and Washington Steamboat Com
pany's special weekend tickets covering
the steamer trip to Old Point and return,
with accommodations at the Hotel Cham
berlin. Delegates in town fort various
conventions, tuberculosis cational.
fisheries and so on, will find these week
end trips delightful and interesting means
OF recuperating from the strain of duties.
Aside from natural attractions, Old Point
Is very historic place, while the Cham
berlin has an international reputation.
Tickets for these outings are good for
varying periods Of time, the schedule
making it feasible to remain away from
the city from Friday to Tuesday or from
Saturday to Wednesday morning. Steam
ers leave 7th street wharf at $50 pm.
reaching Old Point and Norfolk early the
ensuing morning. Washington is reached
uptown ticket office is conveniently To-
Gated at TO5 18th street, first floor of the
Colorado building.
Steamers of this line maintain daily
service the year around between this city
and Norfolk. Trains and boat connec-
tions are made daily at Norfolk for all
points.
The ishermen's special to Annapolis
Sunday mornings which was recently
placed in service over The Electric Lane
has proven popular. and the officials Of
the railroad company have decided to con-
t.nue it Indefinitely. The popularity Of
the trip to Annapolis among Washington
sportsmen is said to be due to the good
fishing in the Severn and out in the bay
and to the facilities afforded for securing
boats and bait. The change Of time from
to Z o'clock Sunday mornings has also
served to attract many who found the
earlier hour incOnvenient. Every Sunday
morning until further notice this special
car will be continued.
Another special train also leaves White
House station at II noon. This has proven
very popular also.

SHOULD. GUARD THE INSANE.
Superintendent Of Police Mentioned
Matter Five Years Ago.

Maj. Sylvester. superintendent of police.
said today in connection with the request
by citizens Of Congress Heights that the
patients of the Government Hospital for
the Insane be disarmed Of farming i'm
plements that might be used as weapons
that for several years he has urged
greater diligence in the care of the In
sane. He referred to his annual report
for 1903 in which he said:
ut Is to be regretted that circumstances
frequently cause the officials Of asylums
or sanitariums to permit partially cured
patients 10 leave the same on furlough or
parole and many patients are at large
without a certificate of clearance or re-
covery. These subjects are liable to de-
velop mania at any time and anywhere
at the cost of human life. Unless pro-
nouilced and certified as cured no patient
should be permitted to leave an asylum
except under guard and protection Of an
attendant"
