FOR STATE LIBRARIAN.
Many Applicants to Succeed Miss
Lynn Shafer-0ne a Woman.

Probably among the very first ap-
pointments made by Governor Colds
borough will be that of State Librar-
ian to succeed Miss Lynn Shafer, who
resigned some months ago to take
effect the last of the year.
Miss Shafer was prevailed upon by
the incoming Governor, at that time,
to remain in the position throughout
the legislative session. This she
could not do, as the present State Lii
brarian is to be married on February
20. However, Miss Shafer was
prevailed upon to hold the position
until the first of February. She has
made an excellent State Librarian,
faithful, conscientious and panstak-
ing. Her office is model of neatness
and everything is orderly and we'll
kept.
Systematic and methodical in her
management of affairs, at the State
Library, Miss Shafer has also been
economical, and has saved the State
many thousands of dollars annually
during her four year term of office,
which she is about to reinquish.
MISS OHd1tE WOIh as SIdle IlDrdT-
ian has been highly commended by
the State Library Commission, and her
report is a document to be proud of.
Altogether her work as State Librarian
has been most praiseworthy and she
was a fitting successor to Mrs. LETTERS,
the first woman librarian the State
has ever had, and at that time the
best and most efficient.
There are several applicants for
State Librarian, among them one
woman, Mrs. Dennis Claude. The
men are Mr.. VIM. Larned Marcy
and Mr.. Lawrence Bailliere, of this
city, and Mr.. Walton Hood Grant,
of Prince George county, a gradu-
ate of st. Johns College, and a
practicing attorney. All the appli-
cants are strongly endorsed for the
position, and each has a representa-
tive clientele.

SOME WASHER.
An Episode in the Bower Theatre

Being a woman of very simple
tastes and one who enjoys few idle
moments, a certain woman in town
found herself the other night meta
morphosed into "masher.
Hateful as the name seems, the
aforesaid woman was cit" all uncon-
sciously. After being comfortably
seated in the Boyer Theatre for some
few minutes, and quietly enjoying one
of the pictures. gentleman in the
rear leaned forward and said, politely
Pardon me, madam, but you're
sitting on my hat"
Gracious, exclaimed the woman,
who, by the way. tips the scales at
something around 200, and she arose
as if she had been sitting on a tack.
Visions of derby mashed fiat, or a
fuzzy Alpine, or Fedora, a shapeless
mass, for which she might have to
pay SIS, floated before her.
She turned, looked on the chair and
beheld-a hat mashed fiat, but not a
derby-thank heaven, for the wo-
man, but a soft hat crushed beyond
recognition. Apologies were made
and an offer to pay damages, but the
polite young man, whose hat had
been terribly sat upon, declined.
The lady is still wondering what
would have happened had it been a
derby, or a silk hat.
