It is our privilege to change the editorial, or the literary, name as often as wc please, except at the bottom of a check. There is one bright fellow who signs a check three different ways, and each is good for the money every time. He has temporary homes in New York, Chicago and Denver. In New York he Is known as Henry Terrence McCloy, in Chicago as Henry T. McCloy and in Denver as Terrence McCloy. He half expects to acquire a fourth home in Los Angeles, where he will be H. Terrence McCloy. Literary folk, or any and all folk .who write any and all stuff, change the style of their Christian and given names oftener than people who depend less on editorial caprice for sustenance. This habit of taking off and putting on is not conlined to the light weigths either. The latest notable change is made by Col. George Brinton McClellan Harvey, who has been conspicuously successful in the daily newspaper business, in commercial life, in railroading, in periodical journalism and in publishing. At lirst we knew him as George Harvey, then as G. B. M. Harvey, then as Col. G. B. M. Harvey, then as George 13. M. Harvey, which, I believe. Is his regular business style. Now he, having undertaken the editorship of a weeklv paper, puts his name at the masthead thus "Edited by George Harvey." His big monthly magazine has it "Edited by George B. M. Harvey." The chances are that George without the B. M. will be no understudy to George with the B. M. To few men is it given to acquire fame and fortune for six names. Twenty years ago it was the fashion to use all the iven names, spelled and spread to the fullest extent. About that period a brilliant art critic cane among us from Harvard and made a name as James Ripley Wellman Hitchcock. Later, when he became more noted, he was J. R. W. Hitchcock. To-day he is the eminently successful Ripley Hitchcock. Henry Louis Reginald De Koven has made a name of which his children will be proud, yet the world knows him only as Reginald De Koven. Grover Cleveland made his fame after shaking off the incubus of "Stephen." Richard Croker never amounted to a row of pins until he dropped "Webster." Whitelaw Reid got rid of "Jacob" early in life, and achieved millions, as well as diplomatic honors. But why continue? There are thousands of similar instances. When Albert Marshman Palmer, LL. B., was dean of theater managers and autocrat of the Madison-square, he established a rule that "Mr." should never-bo omitted from his name or from that of any actor in his com pa ni. Therefore, we were lifted up always by seeing on the programmes and bill boards and in the newspaper columns: "Mr. A. M. Palmer presents Mr. James Strutt Spoutem," etc. Other managers fell into this style immediately, and It was "Mr." this and "Mr." that till wc got tired. I notice that since Mr. Palmer's retirement the fashion is changed. "Charles Frohman presents John 'Drew." "David Belasco presents Warfield, ' "William Greet presents Charles Dalton." "Charles Frohman presents Virginia Harned." Even the "Miss" is left off the leading lady's name. Of course, no manager would think of depriving Mrs. Gilbert of her "Mrs." Many of the "presents" (verb) refer to "Clyde Fitch's new plav." or "famous play." or "Clyde Fitclfs the" . etc. Clyde is away up in G these days, with fortunes in royalties, ami how few remember him as William Clyde Fitch? Did you know that the contentious Georjx- W. Lederer is named Washington? "Ned" Alfriend, lately deceased, was in full Edward Morrison Alfriend. Some intimates were permitted to call him "Count," hut ho resented the title when offered by a stranger, and in more than one instance threatened to thrash the offender. J. I. C. Clarke is the same chap as Joseph Ignatius C. Clarke, hut doesn't sound tho same. How oddly sound the names of Antonio Pastor, Benjamin Franklin Keith. Charles Hale Hoyt. Edward Granville Gillmore, James Marshall Hill, Edward Hugh Sothern and James Keteltas Hackett? A good many years ago, in fact, about the time when Mr. Albert Marshman Palmer established the "Mr." as a feature, one of the celebrated New York editors ami newspaper proprietors frowned upon the conventional title to the extent of dismissing it entirely from the nisht desks except when a man's surname was used without Christian names or initials. Violation of this order in the "forbidden fruit" volume mean Instant discharge in some disgrace. "Mr. Morgan" was .'ulmi.-sible, but "Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan?" Never! One night a copy reader interpreted the rule so broadly as to leave off tho churchly rank and title of Bishop Potter, and then there was trouble for him. In parts of the copy were repetitions of Henry C. Potter, and when it came down to the ue of the surname alone it appeared plain "Mr. Potter." lint then the distinguished editor of that paper and our lordly bishop never "cottoned" together at all. And that fact saved our intelligent copy reader. "WhatJs your Christian name?" one man asked of another to whom he had just been introduced. "Edgewood," was the reply. Edgewood. Edgewood .' leather a remark able name tor a Christian name. What Is your surname.' iagewood, sir: rhen you are Mr. Edgewood Edgewood?" "Not necessarily. Edgewood is a Christian name, whether it be a family name, a baptismal name or a binary name. But. sir, I regard 'Christian as a misnomer when applied to names. Why not say 'christening name and stop your fooling? The mere fact that they call me Peter does not mean that they have given to me a Christian name." A Toast to Our Native Land.

LIBRARY OF CONGRESS

RAPID GROWTH OF TIIE INSTITUTION SINCU ITS FOUNDING. Magnitude of the Work Detailed in Librarian's Annunl Report The j CopyriKlat Branch. Washington Tost. In the annual report of the business of his office, recently made to the President, Librarian Herbert Putnam, of the Library of Congress, has given to the public an exhaustive, and at the same time most comprehensive, review of the workings of the great institution over which he presides, from its inception to the present day. This information is given as a second portion of the regular report of the workings of the library for the past fiscal, year, and has been prepared with much care and attention to details. The most important matter touched upon relates to the copyright office and its uses and abuses. In this connection Librarian Putnam states: "The copyright office Is simply an office of record and only registers claims of copyright. It does not issue copyrights in the sense in which the Patent Office grants letters-patent, and furnishes no guarantee of literary or artistic property. A claim presented in the prescribed form for a proper subject of copyright by any person legally entitled to such registration is recorded without investigation as to the truthfulness of the representations. The office has no authority to question any claim as to authorship or proprietorship or to give consideration to conflicting claims, and for obvious reasons can give no statement of opinion upon questions of copyright which affect the rights of contending parties. But questions of fact as to copyright registration are answered by statements as to what the indexes of the office disclose. METHOD OF COPYRIGHTING. "The procedure requisite for recording a claim of copyright Is simple, and does not require the aid of a notary nor the services of an agent. No statement is necessary except the direct application for registration, no papers are required to be sworn to, nor any certificate to be furnished. A title must be filed, or, in case of an original work of art, a description. The title must be accompanied with a statement of the nature of the article, the nationality of the author, the full name of the claimant of copyright, and the statutory fee. In order to aid applicants the Copyright Office prints blank application forms, which are tumished them without charge, upon request, together with circulars and bulletins containing full instructions. While, however, the steps required are very simple, they must .be exactly complied with, as some of them arc prerequisites to any pro tection. A printed copy of the title must be tiled "on or before the day of publica tion." and two copies of the article itself "not later than the day of publication." while the notice of copyright must be printed in the exact form prescribed bv the statute. In these particulars the United States law differs from the British. In Great Britain registration of title is not compulsory, and is only necessary when a suit is brought in the case of infringement. One copy of the work has to be eleposited in the British Museum and one copy sent to each of four other libraries upon request made within a year after publication." The growth of the business of thi branch of the library service is shown. The business was transferred from tho Patent Office to the librarian of Congress in 1S70. The following year the entries at the Library for copyright were 12.6.SS. The increase from that time forward, while irregular, has been censtant. and in 1000 the number of entries were OT.'.hJT. almost eight times the number filed the lirst year of the service in the Library. The librarian has no way of securing the figures of the business of the vears prior to 170. The entire number of entries from lsTa to Sept. :J0. lflfli. were 1.2H.fsS. The seetion of the report devoted to the history of tho library, part of which is given above, is divided into separate heads. under each of which is given a short statement of the workings of certain departI .nents. th whole prf ceded by a general descriptive history. From this it is learned that the library was established under authority of an act of Congress approved April 21. ison, although steps had been undertaken for the establishment of a library as far bac k as 1774. In 1SM,' however, the sum of SG.fMXi was appropriated for the purchase of books, which were to be bought under the direction of the clerk of the House of Representatives and the secretary of the Senate. A room in the Capitol building was also set aside for the use of the library. The first librarian. John Beckley, of Virginia, clerk of the House of Representatives, reported in 1n)2 that the library contained 'XA volumes and nine maps. After the burning of the Capitol and the destruction of the library, Thomas Jefferson offered his own magnificent library to the government, and it was purchased for r-'..rco. This was really the beginning of what is now the Library of Congress. CONTAINS A MILLION BOOKS. Up to 1M3 the growth of the library's collection of books had not been very pronounced, but since then the number of volumes has increased from 72,000 to 1.000,X0, and the growth of the collections of maps, music, manuscripts, etc., has been, similarly great. From 1S02 to 1S14 the library had been in charge of the clerks of the House of Representatives, also appointed librarians by the President. Shortly after Congress had voted the purchase of the Jefferson collection, and before it had reached Washington. President Madison, March 21, 1S15, appointed George Watterston librarian. He remained in charge till 1S29, when he was succeeded by John Silva Meehan. appointed by President Jackson May 20, 1S21. The latter was succeeded June 1, 1SC1, by Dr. John G. Stephensem, of Indiana, appointed by President Lincoln. In 1S64 Dr. Stephenson resigned, and on Dec. 31, 1S61, Ainswojth Rand Spofford. who had come to the library as an assistant, in 1S61. was appointed to the post, which he held during the long perior of thirtv-two years, resigning in June, 1S37. to accept the position of chief assistant librarian. John Russell Young was appointed by President McKinley June .. 1K)7. After a short term of service he died on Jan. 17, 1S99: and on March IX during the recess of Congress, the President appointed the present librarian, Herbert Putnam, who entered upon the duties of the office April 5. Detailed statements of the work carried on in the various departments follow the historical portion of the report, with descriptions of methods pursued in each department, and tho relation of each to the library In general. Briefly, the report shows that there are in the library 35,OoO pieces of manuscript; 60,000 maps and charts: 319,121 pieces in the musical collection, the largest 'single deposit of the kind in the United States, and over S0.0U0 volumes in the general law collection. The law library, with the exception of 2.ooo duplicates, remains in the Capitol. This portion of the library is not now open to tho general publir and to tho law students, because of the lack of accommodations. Each of tho collections noted represents a different department, in addition to which there are offices devoted to cataloguing and purchasing, a printing office, and book bindery, all quartered in the library building, and under the direction of a capable head, who has a trained force of assistants. MAKING WIIITC PRINT." Hovr Wood Pulp In Transferred Into Newspapers. Success. Let us consider how news paper is made In one of tlv great mills of the Adirondack mountains, where the giant machines, rattling on. day after day. never stopping, are scarcely able to supply the. demand of a single New York newspaper. . The timber, which Is felled in the forests of the north. In winter, is floated to the mill In the mountain streams by the- spring freshets, and piled up in great heaps About the mill buildings, whose many roofs, chimneys and towers form a strange picture in the wilderness against tho background of cloudtopped mountains. By being: fed to shrieking: saws, the spruce logs are cut Into pieces that are no longer than a man's arm. "Barking" machines, which have disks of rapidly whirling radial knives, attack the wood and tear off the. bark. To prevent a waste of any part of the timber, an endless chain conveyor carries the bark to the boiler room, where U Is fed to the tires. Another con-

veyor, Ilk the-trottoir roulant at Paris, I

carries the clean logs to tho grinding room, where a long line of threo-horned monsters Is waiting for them. Flumes, besides which men are mera pigmies, bring the mountain torrents rushing down to the grinding room, feeding the energy of forest cataracts to the gTeat turbines. They have an enormous work to do. Within the iron cases of the three-horned monsters are grindstones of a special hardness, turned by the turbines. The "horns" are hydraulic presses, which force the logs undr them against the stones. Thus the wood is ground to pulp, the stones eating away three feet of wood an hour. The engineer tells us that more than 10,000 "horse-power-hours" of energy are needed to convert one cord of spruce into pulp, and that the mills use more power than a whole manufacturing city in New England. Cold water flows continuously on the grindstones to prevent tho friction setting fire to the wood, and the mixture of ground wood and water which flows away from the grinders, as a pinkish, gruel-like fluid, runs over dams and through screens and drying machines, until, a thick mass, it is either put in storage tanks, in bulk, or formed by machinery into thick sheets that can be rolled up like blankets. It is then ground wood pulp, ready for the paper machines. The sulphite pulp is prepared in. a different way. The lags, when they come from the barking machines, are cut up lengthwise, by "splitters," and then cut crosswise by "chippers," into pieces less than an inch thick. This thickness gives the length of the fiber. A "chipper" with its whirling knives eats up a hundred cords of wood in a day. By falling on another "moving sidewalk." the chips are carried away to be screened and then hand-picked to sort out dust and dirt and then are carried to storage bins above the great sulphite "digesters" monster steel cylinders with conical ends, standing upright in a row. TEARS WON TUB JURY. An Unsympathetic Jmlge Accordingly Set Aside Its Verdict. Detroit Free Press. Old practitioners at the bar will look upon Judge Wiest as a ruthless Iconoclast and wrecker of traditions that have been preserved so long that the memory of man runneth not to tho contrary. He has virtually said that when the verdict of a jury Is influenced by beauty In distress and is not approved by law and evidence, the finding may be set aside and a new trial ordered. Common sense cannot but find a reason for approving the judge's action. A Mrs. Bennett sued one John Clear for the value of services claimed to have been rendered by her as housekeeper, and stcured a judgment in the sum cf $:)W. In the motion for a new trial it was set up among other things that the fair plaintiff tried to inlluence the dozen of her peers by the Use of,. her tears. The judge regards this contention as a valid one, setting forth that Mrs. Bennett is a good-looking woman and that her signals of distress were sure to excite the interest of the jury as well as of outsiders. As there was nothing for her to weep about, It is a Justifiable inference that she was appealing for sympathy, and the opinion of the court is that she got it. If other courts hold in accordance with this precedent, the familiar ways of many an oldtime lawyer must soon become a memory. It has been their long suit to work the "sympathetic racket" to the utmost. The women must shed tears and heave distressful sighs at stages of the case where they will do the most good. Children must be given the most effectual grouping within reach of the parental eye, kisses and sobs must. mingle, and the fairer the woman the more dramatic must be her acting. "It will fetch the jury," is the Interested attorney's instruction, and it has done so In many a case. Occasionally the method has been reactive, as in a recent case tried in Mahoning county, Ohio, a husband and father having been killed while working in a subordinate position for a railroad. The widow and two strapping daughters were not only Instructed when to weep and lament, but actually rehearsed for the part. The older daughter, and the one with the most freckles, was flirting with a court attendant during the trial, and her giggling attracted the jury's attention just as the two began to spat about something, and tho girl was making faces at the attendant. As she was in the midst of a particularly difficult contortion of her countenance she caught the stern and rebuking eye of the attorney. At this she let out a wail that frightened the audience and convulsed the watchful jurymen. The company won. Justice is blind and should see neither the bids for pity nor the ridiculous results to which they sometimesjead. The simuited emotions of grief and agony are in reality the confessions of a wcas case that hopes to bolster itself by this hypocrisy. Tears are not pertinent as evidence, and beauty has no special immunity from tbo decrees of the law. The cold facts are what should be had from the witness stand and the law as it is from the bench. The course of the judge in this case impresses us as highly commendable, and his rebuke to the plaintiff as richly deserved. It is difficult at times to distinguish between grief and the imitation, but it should be brought home as strongly as possible to the lachrymose actors that they can lind no favors In the temple of justice. CON CERN IN G RHEIM ATI S M . Doctors Can't Cure It and Now Say It In Coiitugious. Philadelphia Record. "Rheumatism is contagious" is a current newspaper altirmation. It is based on a brief abstract of a paper which was read before a French medical meeting. Even aside from the alleged discovery of the contagious character of his malady, the victim of rheumatism Is a fit objoet of compassion. It Is true that usually he is highly irritable, frequently uses reprehensible language and is disposed to hurl thing3 at the head of his nurse; but we cannot censure, however much wc may deplore, these deviations from moral rectitude. The aenteness of his pains Is such us to make him morally Irresponsible in a measure. He is one among the few to whom neither the family physician nor the reputable specialist can give relief, since it Is only the army of irregulars who have discovered the many v sure cures for this mysterious malady. The family physician will first administer an alkaline preparation, f.nd when its inevitable failure shall be beyond a doubt he will follow it with an add; when this and the more recent remedies shall tail iu their turn he wil send tho patient to the Hot Springs, chiefly for his own comfort. In rheumatism the doctor cannot tell what tissues are implicated or in what way they are affected. In short, rheumatism is the reproach and chagrin of the medical profession. As to the patient, it strips him of every shred of the mask of civilization and leaves him In naked barbarity. Gloomy as the condition of the rheumatic sufferer Is known to be, especially In a climate where even the merry Christmas day is a day of lowering skies and penetrating dampness, there, is worse to fear. The authoritative announcement really was that rheumatism is communicable; that in certain favoring circumstances a person of a theretofore blameless life may acquire the seeds of the disease from an afflicted friend or neighbor. Now, when high medical authority speaks of an ailment as communicable, not only the general public, but also avid health officers, and particularly the immigration officials, regard and treat It as contagious. We have an example In the ease of consumption. Half a century ago po doctor, but only an occasional intelligent and observing layman, thought consumption could be acquired by Infection. A quarter of a century ago Professor Koch announced It to be communicable. Nothing since then has warranted the conclusion cr the theory that the disease i? contagious In the sense that smallpox and other epidemic maladies are. Yet the health officers of New York have asked the Legislature for the same authority to isolate consumptive patients that they exercise in the Goat Woll, Pi?syf how's rU ti runt in::, us usuaU

M3 acEOsascsars: ease of smallpox victims. The officials at I Kills island have ruled that consumption must be included among "contagious and loathsome diseases," and immigrants In the early-stapes of the affliction have been sent back to Kurope denied a landing on our shores, as though they earrud the germs of typhus or yellow fevor or the black plague. Rheumatism, like consumption, having been said by authority lo be communicable, how long will it be before the health ofticers will placard the home of the rheumatic in order to warn all visitors, or perhaps cart him away to the pest house as being no less dangerous than a leper? Already feared as a center of moral pestilence because of the irascible temper and shocking language inspired by the intensity of his sufferings, must he also be avoided a3 a center of physical pollution? Shall the limping rheumatic convalescent be excluded from the street-cars and perhaps made to wear a warning bell about his knee, like the leper of tradition or like the decrepit male gardener in a French convent? Must the thrifty immigrant, whose coming would benefit both our country and himself, be roughly turned back to an oppressive and overcrowded fatherland because a change in the weather has filled his body with rheumatic twinges? The doctors are much to blame for this melancholy prospect. They have no right to afiirm anything about rheumatism except its enduring mystery and its incurability at their hands. Acknowledged the Corn. New York Evening Sun. A wealthy resident of one of the suburbs is building a house. The; size of the structure is its striking feature. Upon a lot that might hold a colonial mansion with plenty of ground to spare the man is erecting a dwelling that might do duty for a palace, or at least a metropolitan hotel. The outbuildings for the automobiles alone resemble a whole row of houses along a lensthv citv block. So gigantic is the architectural scale that very little of the lot Is left for "grounds" at all every foot is filled. Some idea of the incongruity of It all may be gained from the statement that a mansion of such proportions needs at least an estate of some .'.OuO acres to et it off, and as this is apparent to the veriest amateur in architectural things, both houfe and owner have been the target for a good bit of adverse criticism. The other evening as the owner was standing across the street gazing at the enormous halflinished pile he was some day to call home," a shabbily-dressed stranger walking past stopped to look at the pile, too. After a prolonged stare, "The man that Is building that house." said the stranger loud and clear, "Is a blamed fool." From the shadow of the trees the owner stepped forth. "I am the blamed fool." he announced, addressing the shabby stranger, "and. by George, 1 tuink you're right." TTie Return.
