The principal number played by the orchestra was an afr from one of the most modern operas. It marks the en- trance of the heroine of the piece, who is coming on the scene to take part in wedding of complaisance with the hero, who is generally regard. ed as one of the greatest blackguards the world of opera knows. Every character on the stage knows that the Buddhistic wedding ceremony that is to take place Is a sham and the mar. riage turns out to be tragedy of the ehabbiest sort And yet that music was played in a church that stands for intelligence if any one congrega- tion in this town does."

The lines quoted above, "Benevo-

familiar through the Instructions sent
to General Otis, the military COVER

1898. by President Mckinley. In
these instructions the President said:

WALLACE LIBRARY
The Board Considers the List Of Books
Submitted.

A meeting of the board of directors
OF the Wallace Memorial Library was
held IN the Council chamber Tuesday
evening. The following members were
present: MIR. ST. Geo. X. Fitzhugh.
CHAIRMAN; Capt. :. j. Quinn, secretary.
Messrs. ii. Il. Lane. x. Z. Willis. Col
f. ID. Cole. A. Z. Rowe
Mr. Fitzhugh laid before the board
the report of the committee To select
books for the library. composed of
Messrs. John 5. Patton. II. l.. Nell
~aine, j. A. {. Chandler and r. +.
Blackwell. The board submitted list
of books TO be purchased for the libra
~ which will cost s.. 500. with an add
tional recommendation for another ex-
penditure of 81 900 more. The report.
when Is an extended one. SAYS in part:
We have been guided i'm some meas
ure by the thought that public library
should be hOspitable TO all classes and
and that its service to one is as surely
entitled to be guaranteed as its service
10 another. The volumes i'm this list
accordingly are a combination intended
TO minister to all sorts and conditions Of
intellectual needs and, therefore, they
reach and lay under mild tribute a large
number of the all-but-numberless re
sources of knowledge. o.. In the field of
invention and experiment we have been
conservative. In philosophy, relig-
ION. philology. some of the useful arts
and the fine arts and letters, we are on
surer, less shifting grounds. In fic-
ton 1t has seemed important that a IL
brary Tor a community of cultivated
people should have the best of standard
authors complete. - IL is not neces-
sary to explain the presence of the
works of Thomas Nelson Page, Mary
JohDson, Ellen Glasgow, Joel Chandler
Harris, Francis Hopkinson Smith and
Others. The list of juveniles is
made up in the State Library, where
the work was done much better than il
could have been done by the committee. A."
suggestion was made that the Ma
uonal Government prints a large num-
Der of valuable documents which can
be had upon proper application free of
cost.
I'm view of the fact that nearly every
volume in the list has the approval of
the American Library Association and
the work and classification has been
done, the trouble and cost of labelling
and making the catalogue will not be
great This once done. the admins
tration of the library should not be
attended with serious difficulty"
This board will make a supplement
tary list, covering in the main impor-
tant works of all classes published in
the last five or six years
