while Fouse and Verlenden also did good work. Swarthmore's interference, however, was weak, and her game lacked much of its characteristic vlin and snap. The teams lined up as follows: SWARTHMORE.

Henry Van 1310 Chestnut 5treet CHINESE BARBERS ON STRIKE IMhESOF BOORS LARGE NUMBER OF WORKS TO BE PUT IN WASHINGTON'S NEW LIBRARY.

PROBLEM OF THEIR REMOVAL This Is Bothering Librarian Spofford and Others and Many Schemes Have Been Suggested Whereby the Work Can be Done Quickly and With the Least Chance of Injuring the Books The Art Gallery to be in One Part of the Building. Special Telegram to The Times. Washington, October 6. The work of removing what Is the largest collection of books in the New World will soon begin, and it will only be finished when the huge mass of reading matter now accumulated beneath the dome of the Capitol is safely boused in the quarters of white stone that rival a palace in their magnificence. The labor which is now on foot is merely preparatory to the real undertaking, and constats of removing to a big store room in the new library the pile of foreign documents, duplicates of volumes and copyright material which have so long lumbered up the place.

Just how the books will be carried over to the building, which Is about a block from the Capitol, is tho problem which Is now puzzling the brains of those in charge, for there are at least 725,000 volumes to handle. Many plans have been suggested, but as yet none have been deemed practicable. It Is likely that one will be adopted something In the nature of an elevated railroad from the rotunda of the Capitol to the basement of the library. This road would probably be operated by an electric motor, and the books piled on small cars which would whirr them through the air at a rapid rate. This plan is the one favored by the Chief Libra rlan, Mr.

Spofford. The engineer of the building leans towards the employment of horses and wagons, but this old style of moving would be too slow and laborious for tho work. In doing the work by such a method it would require 120 loads, and 6,000 books would make a load. Each book would have to he bandied about three times, hence the magnitude of the work ia easily seen. Another suggestion has been that the new tunnel which has just been built to send books back and forth to members of Congress be utilized to convey all the volumes from the Capitol to the library.

But this tunnel Is not large enough to do the work, and that method will nlso necessitate the lowering of the hooks at the Capitol end and the raising of themat the library end of the route. To arrange a band of men from one building to the other and have bnskets of books handed from one to the other is another idea, but one which is too slow in its method to be adopted. A HARD PROBLEM TO SOLVE. This problem of moving thislmmense amount of books is one which will be the deepest study of those who have the matter in hand. But there is plenty of time yet to work and experiment In, as the labor oh the body of the mass of books will not commence this year.

In speaking about the way in which the library had grown during the thirty years In which it had been under his charge, Mr. Spofford said that the number of books had Increased ten per cent, and that the readers had kept pace with the growth of the library. When he took charge in the sixties, the library held about seven thousand volumes; now the miles of Iron shelving in the new building would rencn, If stretched out In line, for tho distance of forty-two miles, or the length of track from Washington to Baltimore. These shelves will hold 2,200,000 books, and if needed four millions can easily find a home within its walls. An art gallery will be in one part of the library and here will be displayed some of the most choice of the pretty designs in all kinds of copyrighted pictures.

The effect of this room will be most novel und beautiful, aud it Is a feature in which Spofford takes grfat pride. This chamber will be about 217 feet long and the works of art which have accumulated In twenty-five years will all be most advantageously shown. Another point of interest will be a museum of works of strange or antique Interest, and Mr. Spofford has In Ills possession books which he keeps safely under lock and key, for they are too precious to be 'trusted out of bis sight. Among them are early and rare books which It were impossible to duplicate.

Volumes which were printed in the first days of the press and books which were among the earliest ever known will be placed under glass and opened so that all may see the wonders that time has wrought in the literary field. Spofford will petition the next Congress to make a special provision for the office of register of the copyrights, for that is an immense labor which now falls on the librarian. An immense sum Is brought into the government coffers each year by the amount paid for copyright, yet there arc but two papers in the Union whose matters is so secured. AN INTELLIGENT FROG It Was Cunning Enough to Escape Being Swallowed by a Snake. From the Newark Advertiser.

Milton Lake Is a good-sized body of water at the extreme northwestern section of this city. It is famous for its black bass, turtles and water pilots; and Its wooded, picturesque shores are a great resort for fishing and picnic parties. At the eastern extremity of the lake Is a largo dam, over which the superfluous water empties into the Robinson branch of the Hahwny river. Thousands of huge rocks aud boulders support this dam, and during a dry spell, when very little or no water is running over the dam, scores of huge, ugly-looking, brown-colored water snakes use the rocks for sun baths. It was at this point that Nick White witnessed a singular scene Monday.

He was watching the snakes, and had his eye on an old fellow, who, he declares, "had scales on him like a salnmander." when his attention was drawn from the pilot to a frog that was hopping along on the bare ground between the rocks and tho river. The frog wns near-lng the snakes, apparently unmindful of bis peril, for snakes love frogs and toads. But this frog had evidently "been to school," as subsequent events proved. "I guess the old snnke had one eye open," said Nick, "for as soon as the frog came in reach he sprnng for him. The frog, seeing him, ensnyed to get making a high leap toward the water.

Hut the snake wus to quick for him mid got between him and the' water. It was then that the frog manifested his schooling. He picked up a twig about four inches long and held it In his mouth like a bit. I wondered what for, and when I ascertained, said to myself: 'Nick, that is the smartest frog In the United The snake seized the frog by the fore leg, and, lengthening out, opened his jaws and wriggled forward. "In went the frog's leg.

and then, after many efforts, the snake got the frog's nose aud part of his head In. until he cnine to the twig, which, extending an inch beyond his own jaws, queered him and saved Hie frog. The Riinke writhed and wriggled frantically. He relaxed the muscles of his Jhws. as does a darky just after he cuts a watermelon, but ail in vain.

I laughed so bard and so long that I became weak in my knees, aud had to sit down and rest before I looked for a club to help the frog out of the difficulty. Then 1 got a big stick and moved quickly down upon the snake, who was too busy to hear me. "With one strong, well-delivered blow I broke his spine and paralyzed him. and as his taws relaxed tne frog backed out, dropped the belt, looked up at me and gave a -croak of thanks. Before I could reach him he gave two leaps and was In his element." What She Objected To.

From the Washington Star. Frederick," she said to her musical admirer, they say that you steal a good many melodies," "Well, yon know, almost all composers do that nowadays. You shouldn't blame me for that." Oh. I don't blame you for that, but why don't you steal pretty ones?" CORNELL COULD NOT SCORE State College Played a Snappy Game and Held the Ithacaas Down. Special Telegram to The Times.

Ithaca, October 5. Cornell played her second game of the season on Percy Field to-day and failed to score against Pennsylvania State College. Cornell's goal was at no time In danger, but her team showed a lack of snap and vigor and the work of both line and backs was slow. The Pennsylvanians put up a strong game on the contrary, and gained frequently on Cornell's ends and line. The umpiring by Hoskins, Pennsylvania's coach, was frequently hissed.

He put Cornell back several times when a punt of twenty-five yards was made in alleged holding In the line. The halves were of twenty minutes each. In the first Cornell bad the ball on Pennsylvania's ten-yard line twice. The second time Starbuck carried it nine yards and fumbled within one yard of a touch-down. The first half eiid.il with the ball on Pennsylvania's thirty-five-yard line.

In the second half the ball was shift oil up and down withiu twenty to thirty yards of the centre of the field. Pennsylvania would lose the hall on downs. Cornell would nuut and I'ni- plre Hoskins would call it back again. The game enneu witn tne Dan on corneu mirij-five-yard line. There is no doubt that the umpiring was partisan, but Cornell showed unmistakable weakness in both defensive aud offensiTe play.

The management ruled reporters off the side lines and much Inconvenience was caused the press men in getting the details of the game. Summary: State College. Cornell. Curtlu end Reneham Left end McKeover G. Dunsmore.Xeft tackle Hall Randolph Left tackle.

O. Her Guarded Reply. The question you ask is no novelty now I hear it on every side And yet, I confess, I am slow to avow My feelings, lest others deride. You're anxious to know, so you say, if Pm "new," If bloomers my newness" denote. And more than all else just the course I'd pursue If given full license to vote.

Ah, well, it's a question deserving of thought, For something lies back of it all. And if in the movement we're hastily caught We're apt lo lose tilings we'd recall. For something for nothing's not given in trade. And chances are very remote Of keeping some things that we prise, Pm afraid, If given full license to vote. Pray, what must we give in exchange for the right? Will women be treated like men? Will they he expected to turn out and fight? Pray, what will the methods lie then Will courtesy be but a thing of the past? Will men in their eagerness gloat O'er women who find they ore sadly harassed, If given full license to vote? Will deference then be a thing that's unknown In office, the home or the street? Will girls have to bustle and struggle alone, Opposed to ths men that they meet Will women be coarse when they aim to be new?" Pray, what will this "newness" nromote? Just tellmcthese things and I'll know what I'll do If given full license to vote, Chicago Poet.

From tha New York Tribune. The story of the terrible massacre in Chinac lends additional interest to a strange strike of the barbers In one of the principal prov-luces of the Flowery Kingdom. It Is an old rule of China that no candidate dare present himself for the State examination who has had among his Immediate ancestors three generations a criminal, a headsman, a servant, a barber or an actor. It so happened that at the recent examinations for military mandarins In Hankau, a certain young man distinguished himself above all his rivals. The spectators of his skill and prowess declared that Japan would have "bitten the dust" had China had more officers of his standing.

But the comrades of the candidate who received so much praise became jealous aud decided, if possible, to cut his career of glory short. Naturally, knowing the rules so well, they began to study his family tree. They din-covered, unhappily for the candidate, that his grandfather had been a barber iu a neighboring city. They ail hurried upon this discovery to the head examiner to make a report. The examiner was astonished at the announcement, immediately struck the name of tho candidate from the list and ordered that he be driven out of the city "in shame at the beat of the drum." It was this treatment which excited the wrath and indignation of the guild of the barbers in the cities of Hankau and Hanyang, and they decided upon revenge.

Over 3,000 of them struck work and swure that they would not use a razor until they received reparation. That was a serious matter for the neighborhood, as the Chinese, as Is well known, shave the fore parts of their bends and allow the hair to grow on the back part only for the queue. Several days went by, and the barbers could not be Influenced by either requests or money. The hair began to grow on the parts of the hends of the oliiciuls "where the hair ought not to grow," from a Chinese point of view. There were many causes of complaint.

The mandarins, therefore, issued an order that the strike end. Hut no attention was paid to the order. Then soldiers were sent to arrest nil barbers they might find. The barbers arrested were then tnUen to the homes of the mandarins nnd under threats of severe torture were obliged to shave all comers at one cent each. But this, too.

hud little effect, and in despair the mandarins stmt soldiers into the barber simps to destroy furniture and beat the barbers wltli the bamboo. However, the barbers In Wntshang, a sister city of Hankau, and Hanyunjr. on tho opposite hanks of the Yang-tseKiang, lnhl down their razors nnd declined to work also. Wutsang Is the residence of the Viceroy of the Provinces Unpen and Hunan, and the unshorn growth of hair on otlicial heads was serious indeed. The Viceroy at last adopted stringent measures, threatening to use knives of a different kind on the barbers.

This threat had its effect nnd the officials are again happy with shaven heads. ROBBERS AIDED BY A HORSE Carried hy the Well-Trained Horse Into the Camp cf the Thieves. From the Lewistown Journal. "When I was in Nebraska, near the Snake river, north of the Great Sand Hill In said a Lewistou cilizen, "we bad four camps, situated about eighteen miles apart, and to go from Thome's Camp to Dunham Camp It was necessary to go through a long piece of pine woods. For a number of months every one who hud gone through the woods alone never came back.

One day it was necessary that I should go through with a lot of money and no escort, and I set out on a horse that I got from a stable keeper near Thome Camp. "When I had nearly reached the woods, Ave miles out, my liorse was taken 111 and refused to go on. Clearly to my medical eye it had been poisoned slightly by some one. Soon, what looked like a hunter came along on a horse and offered to swap, taking mine back to the stable if I would leave his near Dunham Camp with a trapper. ought to have seen through this, but I did not.

I got on to the powerful horse of the stranger and started through the rive miles of woods. Half way through, without any any apparent reason, the horse broke into a trot, a gallop, aud tlnnlly a run, and dashing off the trail through the woods puked his way among trees 11s nicely as if he hud gone that way a hundred times. Pull as I would at the bridle he pnid no atreniion, but ran the faster. When he had leaped a brook and landed on the sand beyond tho marks of footprints alarmed me and I slipped off at the risk of my life. He rau on up a ravine and I hid, fearing that it was a trap, as it nfterward proved.

In a little while three men armed wtih rifles came back on the trull, one riding the horse, now as calm as a lamb. I picked my way to the road and got out to the camp. "Two weeks inter nineteen of us followed a mnu who hired a horse at the name place I did. It was taken 111, and the same trapper came along on the same horse. When the horse dashed into the woods, as he hud been trained to do, nineteen of us dashed after him nnd finally arrived at a mountain camp of the robbers.

We took every man-seven of them and, well! law was not well supported out there theu, und no court wit nearer than 200 miles. We didn't carry the rascals nwav from their own camp lire. The trained horse met the fate of its owners." A Preparatory Step. From the Waahlnuton Hiar. What principles are you going to advocate in the next town asked the compaigner's private secretary.

Hoth men bad to give way to substitutes. The Harvard team showed clearly a lack of coaching in several particulars. The men did not follow the ball well, and often there would be only on man after It when the whole eleven could have been there. There was also a constant tendency to off-side play. The Harvard team was much stronger In the first half, ami the subs, Gontermun, iMmlap and Hayes, proved more effective than the veterans, Fairehild and Charlie Brewer.

The enthusiasm of genius burned In the seedy man's eye as he entered the office of the manager of the great metropolitan ball team. "Good morning," he said in cheerful tones. I have here something to- which I would like to call your attention." The manager stopped In his figuring up of averages and looked the man over, then proceeded with his work, remarking: "Don't care to look at any new catchers' masks.

Haven't any use for rubber-lined bats on my team. Don't take any stock In basemen's gloves with glue on 'em. Never use patent greased trousers for base sliding. Couldn't use an automatic pitching machine for practice if I had it. Base ball novels arc out of my line.

Have no wish to look at" "This Is not a patent machine or a book, sir," auid the seedy man softly. "It is a little device of my own to insure satisfaction with the decisions of the umpire." Nervously the manager looked at his visitor, but the man showed no evidence of a disordered brain. He interpreted the glance. "No; I am not crazy," said he. "All I ask Is a fnir consideration of my plan.

You have had trouble with your umpires from time to time, I presume." "It Is no exaggeration to Bay that," replied the manager. "tlrowd gets excited occasionally?" "Yes; I've seen that happen, too." "Call the umpire names, perhaps?" "It's quite possible." "Mnybu even hurls missiles at him?" "Well, I've seen things thrown at an umpire." admitted the base bail man. "Captains get mad and threaten to punch holes in him?" "And he fines 'em $100 each; then there's trouble all 'round," sighed the other. "Well, my plan will obviate all that," declared the seedy man. "Once use the American Umpire Protector and Convlncer of Kickers and you'll never have another bit of trouble.

Now, here's the scheme. Of course, most of the trouble comes on close decisions 011 outs. My umpire protector consists In a small camera worn under the umpire's shirt, with the lens projecting. On a close decision the umpire rushes forward toward the base, culls his decision, and at the critical moment presses the button. An instantaneous picture is taken.

The crowd kicks, the layers howl, the umpire sends his picture an assistant to a convenient dark room, and by a quick process It is developed In two minutes. The players are still kicking when tho picture is brought out and shown. The plate cannot lie. There Is the picture of the player wildly sliding to a base, still a few inches away, "-bile the other player has the ball 011 him. Spectators can buy copies of the plates after the game at Ave cents npieee, ami thus preserve the stnr features of the game.

If the picture fails to bear out the umpire's decision, the decision must be reversed. It's the greatest scheme ever designed. Now, I'm prepared to hire out nest season to umpire games by the photographic process at 200 per game, or at reduced rates for contract for the season. "What do jou say? "Xoiing man." sain: tne manager srmiy, "you are too bright and beautiful for life in a sporting world. What you want to do Is to devote your energies to a consideration of croquet." And as the seedy man walked slowly out the manager returned to his figures and tiie attempt to convince himself that even ifhis team did lose every other game during the season It would still end In front of the tail-endera, A SLEEPY STATESMAN He Was From Kansas and His Lova of Sleep Checked His Run ia Politics.

From the Topeka State Journal. The other evening people passing S. Bnr- num's store, on the west side of Kansas avenue, noticed a large man sleeping soundly in a large covered spring wagon near the street curb. He was stretched across the seat, and, while his position was not a comfortable one, the man did not care. His broad chest rose and fell at regular periods.

which indicated deep slumber. Occasion ally a whirring noise like the suppressed vrunt of a nlir escanecl the sleener. It was a snore, but not the ceiling-destroying kind. A close inspection woiun nave revoaiea the chubby face of a man well advanced In years, His cheeks were covered with a thick L-rowth of short srrav hair and his head with an old slouch hat. Then the observer would have been startled to find a strong resemblance to man who was well known in public life In Kansas not long ago.

The man looked like Ex -Co ogre asm an Bon Clover, and In truth it was he. Ex-Coiurressinan Clover now drives the reform school wagon, and may be seen on the streets of Topeka every day. He got the place as a reward for political services rendered rne last campaign, jie down know anything about training boys, but (Jovernor Morrill's business administration gave him a job. When Mr. Clover was in Congress he contracted the sleeping hahit.

nnd It made hlin famous. When an Important measure was being considered he was wont to steal out into the ante-room and stretch his portly form on the luxurious cushions of a government sofa, and while his colleagues wrestled with some intricate juestion affecting their constituency Congressman ('lover, of Kansas, slept, and, it is said, snored, not softly or gently, but loud enough to be heard lu the adjoining legislative ball. Then Mr. Clover's constituency got angry nnd elected some one else, and since then he has been compelled to take his naps in less convenient places. Other people have contracted habits in Congress, but It remained for Congressman Clover to make a departure and become, like Dickens' fat boy, a continued sleeper.
