Both parents Shun the crowds
that arrive daily for the II a. m.
and 3 p. m. public exhibitions of
the infants, and usually drop in at
the hospital during the late after
noon. They play with the babies,
admire their pretty dresses and
playthings, and visit, in French,
with the two nurses.
The day Emile surprised and
delighted her mother by calling her
by name, Mrs. Dionne departed
with fruit and flowers for her other
children-part of gifts to the quin-
tuplets which they shared with
their older brothers and sisters.
For them, as well as for their par
ents, the quintuplets are now the
winners.

Discovers Her Shadow

On another day Cecile kept her
eyes downcast, refused to look at
the crowd, and took no interest
whatever in the exhibition, which,
like her sisters, she usually enjoys.
1t was some time before Nurse
Lamoreux understood this strange
change. Cecile had discovered her
shadow on the ground. She never
had seen 1t before and simply
could not take her eyes away.
The youngsters have new toys
frequently-five, of course, Of
everything. 1t is no ruling Of DR.
Dafoe or the nurses that these toys
are changed SO often. The quins
see to that themselves, for they dc
not spare their playthings!
Always their toys are washable
rubber dolls and balls, washable
cloth picture books, wooden blocks.

MORE CASH VOTED
ANNEX TO LIBRARY
House Passes Bill Already
Approved by Senate as
Costs Increase.

Because the cost Of construction has
gone up during the past five years
and because building plans for the
new annex to the Library of Congress
have been changed from a limestone
to a marble exterior, the House late
yesterday passed the bill which was
approved by the Senate on May %,
increasing the authorization for con-
struction and equipment of the build
ing
The original authorized estimate of
cost in 1880 was $6,aO0,0 900. The bill
passed yesterday Increases this sum by
<2866. $40. The structure Is to be
erected east of the main Library of
Congress Building, at Second street
and Pennsylvania avenue, where
buildings have already been razed and
the basement excavations made.
Both Houses of Congress acted
promptly when Senator Barkley of
Kentucky. chairman of the Senate
Library Committee. explained that the
controller general had ruled that un-
expended authorizations would lapse
on June l6, unless this additional
authorization was made to continue
the work. David Lynn. architect OF
the Capital. had also emphasized be-
fore the House Appropriations Com
mittee that the Library of Congress,
already the largest n the world for
number and variety of its books. was
badly overcrowded. He said this con-
dition would become more acute
within the next couple of years until
the proposed structure could be
completed.
Senator Barkley pointed out that
Admiral Peoples. chief of the Pro-
curement Division of the Treasury De-
partment. had testified that conStruc-
ton costs have been increased 80 per
cent since the building was authorized.
He also called attention to the fact
that the Joint Committee on the
Library had changed the material OF
the building to harmonic with the
Folger ShakeSpearian Library and the
Supreme Court Building, its near
neighbors The joint committee ad-
vertised for bids, and the amount in
the bill passed yesterday is required to
enable the building commission to
accept the lowest bid Plans for the
building have been approved by the
Commission of Fine Arts.

Since my article, preachers

in the various newspapers that
carry my daily writings, | have
received letters from ministers in
many sections of the United
States, who tell me that they are
heartily in favor of having the
church throw itself steutly into
the fight for decency in govern

church, Hattiesburg, Miss, put
this notice in his church bulletin,
March 3, 1885: .'
"fhe pastor hereby calls at

In the foregoing statement, you
see the iniquitous part that the
church is often maneuvered into
playing in helping evil govern
ment.
Political rascals and racketeers
have persistently and consistently
exploited the church and used it
for their own selfish purposes
just as they have exploited the
government and used it for their
own selfish purposes!
There are large, powerful
churches which are in effect po-

Ministers all over the United

that the church has been prosti-
