Jiey be a little bit condescending, affable,
Thoughtful, kind?
In brief, why cannot all good and great
folk be like the gracious Countess of
Aberdeen, who, while she is one of the
busiest women imaginable, yet can take
time not only to receive with cultured
sympathy and in a friendly, unaffected
manner, engendered by her own sweet
nature, all those whose work in life brings
them in contact with her, bnt in addition,
and as an earnest of her share of pleasure
in the visit, will make her guest a cup of the
best English tea ever drank.
Por just one briet afternoon during this
summer abroad I had the honor to be the
guest of her ladyship. This honor was ac
corded out of compliment to our common
cause, the World's Pair, and in no other
presence do I remember to have passed the
hours so pleasantly and profitably.
She Does 2sot Court Homage
The Conntess of Aberdeen, wile, mother,
Christian philanthropist, social qneen and
politician, is a woman at whose feet the
rest of us could sit indefinitely and learn
lessons relating to the good, the true and
the beautiful in womanhood. But she does
not court homage, she would not have us at
her feet, rather by her side assisting in her
many ecnemes oi benevolence. She is a
great organizer and understands well how
to provide work for willing hands.
The Conntess is many sided. Though s
leader in society as her rank implies, and
fond of the pleasure such position brings
her, a thorough woman in her delicate sus
ceptibilities, wifely and motherly instincts,
and plans for home rule, in which last he
finds the young peeiess an enthnsiastio as
sistant. The experiences of her life dur
ing her husband's raigu as Viceroy of Ire
land knit her irrevocably to the Irish
cause, and there is how no prouder moment
of her public life) than when she sits as
President of the Ladies' Liberal League.
When her husband was the Queen's repre
sentative as Lord High Commissioner in
the Edinbnrg Assembly she presided over
Holyrood Palace, andbeing with her "am
folk," was more naturally popnlar than
when mistress of Dublin 'Castle, though
even here she endeared herself to the Irish
people by her quick sympathy and ready
helpfulness, and this feeling has not ceased
with, her reign in the viceregal court, but
continues tnrougn political cnange ana
social amelioration.
All through Ireland I heard the praises
of this good woman sung by the grateful
Irish people. They understand well that it
is due to her untiring efforts that the Irish
industries of lace making and the manu
facture of homespuns and tweeds have been
revived and the peasantry rescued from
idleness.
Her Many Philanthropic Works.
It is particularly of her interest in the
Irish cottagers and her work through
them for the World's Fair that I want to
tell you. But I could exhaust all reason
able space with accounts of her zeal on be
half of the London Bagged School Union,
her excellent work in establishing branches
of the Workipg Girls' Home, an institu
tion intended to reduce to a minimum the
temptations held out to London shop girls,
and of her leadership of the Associated
Workers' Guild, which good work
is the direct outcome of Prof. Henry
Drummond's lectures, which inspired the
"smart" members of London society to beg
that some distinctive work of charitv and
usefulness might be found for them befit
ting their talents and their means. And I
could tell of the success of the H.iddo
House Association, one of her first efforts
in philanthropy, which began when the
Earl carried her a bride to his ancestral
home, Haddo House, Aberdeenshire, Scot
land. Believing that loneliness is the most
painful element in the life of the bread
winning woman, she formed a social club
of her big household, by whose united
contributions of work or entertainment
each member would become interesting to
all and nnv latent ability on the part of the
club members be brought to the surface.
This association had for its aim the eleva
tion and cheer ot working women, whether
as servants of the house or farmers' wives,
and at this day the organization has so far
out craw n local limits that it now numbers
C,000 members and is in Scotland analagous
to our Xoung Women's Christian Associa
tion. In connection with this work the
Countess now edits a penny monthly
brought out as a means of instruction to
young mothers.
Religions Phase of Her Character.
In all these good works the Earl goes
with her hand in hand, as she does with
him in politics. They are both practical
Christians. All her life, since a girl at her
father's house in Guisacnen, Invernesshire,
Scotland, the Countess has presided over a
Sunday afternoon class lor the study of
the Scriptures, and this she continues. And
it is the custom ot the royal pair to have
the entire household, down to its youngest
and humblest servitor, gather each evening
for family worship, which is conducted by
the Eari himself the "priest-like father
hood," described by Burns in "The Cotter's
Saturday Night," sitting as well on the
Scottish peer as on the Scottish peasant
But to get down to the latest public
work undertaken by the Countess, and in
which we are most interested. As a mem
ber of the Royal Commission, she is just
now bending every energy to have the cot
tage industries of Ireland represented
at Chicago, "res," she said, "we are"
to have an Irish Tillage, and hope
to make it as realistic as possible,
and it shall have all the various industries
.represented by Irish cottagers, specially
brought from Ireland. They will be at
work at their spinning wheels, looms, lace
British section will besold. The village is
to be called the Irish Industrial Village.
We of the Irish Industrial Associatiou
have pledged ourselves to provide 2,000,
or 510,000 of your money.for the erection of
this village, and also to furnish all moneys
required for carrying out the several plans.
"We are to have two other exhibits be
sides this. In the woman's section we are
to have a room in which we will exhibit a
wedding party. Everything in that room

are to be products ot the Irish home in
dustries. And aerain in the general section
we will exhibit the work ot small Irish
manufacturers for which it is most difficult
to find a market, and we hope that when
you generous Americans see what Ireland
can do you will, v ith your ready sympathy
for Ireland, not be slow to support the
movement to help the most needy of Irish
men and women to help themselves by
honest work."
Practices What Sho Preaches.
The cottagers of Ireland could not have
found a better or more practical friend than
the Countess of Aberdeen. Some thousands
of pounds have cone into the cabins of the
poor Irish peasants in return for the knit
ting, lace, crochet work, embroideries,
homespuns and other goods made by them
and disposed of nt the several shops estab
lished by her in Dublin, London and else
where. Literally she practices what she
preaches in the way of fostering Irish in
dustries. The day -she received me she
served tea from Irish ware, the dainty and
rare Irish Bleek, and she wore a china silk
that was almost covered with lace which
she told me had been made by a
very old woman living in a most seoluded
part of Ireland who had never been off the
mountain upon which she then lived. Her
Ladyship urged me to visit this very old
woman as a curiosity, since I was going in
that part of Ireland, and it was arranged
that after I left the railroad the Secretary
of the association, Mr. Hatfield, should
take me as far as possible in a carriage, but
that there would remain several miles up
the mountain to the cottage that must be
walked, but she thought I "would not mind
that" How little she knew ot American
lazinessl I had never, to my knowledge,
walked as many miles on level ground, so
needless to say, neither my zeal nor my
curiosity led me to undertake that climb.
Instead, I contented myself with visiting
cottages more accessible and convents where
special work for the Exposition was being
done after unique patterns selected and
sent in by order of the Countess.
laco Delicate as Sea Foam.
In the Industrial School at Mercy Con
vent in Newry, County Down, where a
sister of Sir Charles Russell is Mother Su
perior, I was shown laces being made for
the Pair collection that were as fine as gos
samer and from patterns as beautiful as
those formed by the foam of the waves as
they break on the shore, and against tho at
traction of which no woman's heart at the
World's Fair is expected to hold out In
cottages I saw being woven the stout
tweeds and homespuns whose only fault
seems to be that they never can be wore
out, and learned that the revival of this in
dustry in Ireland was due more to the
Countess of Aberdeen than to any other one
person, and that a market for this handi
work and that ot the lace being made in
cottages meant the whole diflereneo be
tween a life on the brink of starvation or
one ot comparative ease.
In reviewing the good work for down
trodden humanity that has been accom
plished by this energetic, Inrge-licartcd,
noble woman we at first wonder how it has
been possible for one womin to do so much.
But let us remember that political gather
ings, committee meetings and the 'various
labors ot philanthropic organizations mean
one thing to the lady of rank who drives to
them in her carriage, is re-enforced by her
secretary and is companion only and not
nurse or upper servant to her husband or
nurse to her children, and quite another
thing to the middle-class woman with the
cares of a house and household on heart and
hands, and who in going forth to take part
in public affairs can only do so by leaving
incompetent servants in charge. Ten to
one this woman returns to find everything
gone wrong in her absence and so falls into
a stateitoo peevish to furnish the little at
tentions that make borne a happy place to
those nearest her.
If we have any notion of emulating the
example ot the admirable Countess ot Aber
deen I would suggest that we do not do as
much as she does, but as much as we believe
such a good and sensible woman would do
in our place. Makt Temple Bayakd.

Magnificence of tho New Library
Now Building at Washington,
NO LIKE STRUCTURE EQUALS IT.,
lie Cost Will Bo Six Millions ana It Will
Stand a Thousand lean.
BOOKS COME ON AN ENDLESS CHAIN
rconnESPONDBscK or tits DtspXTCrr.
Washington, Nov. 12. In the new
Library of Congress, which is now rapidly
looming up and attaining form and sub
stance here in Washington, the United
States will have the noblest and most mag
nificent library strncture on the globe, and
a. collection within it already ranting fifth
in point of size with the greatest collections
of the Old World which is bound soon to
become the pride and ornament of America,
and a treasury of science, learning, culture
and intellectual wealth inestimable in value
to the whole English-speaking race.
The new library building, when com
pleted, -will be the largest edifice in Wash
ington, except the Capitol. It will cost
50,000,000, and will last, it is expected, a
thousand years. It will cover 111.000
square feet of ground. The State war and
navy building covers an area of 00,052
square feet, the British Museum Library
97,200, the Royal Library of Bavaria a't
Munich 99,312, and tho new German Par
liament building at Berlin 110,000 square
feet. The construction was begun four and
a half years ago, and will probably not lie
concluded until three and a half years
more.
It Will Not Uurn Easily.
It will be built almost wholly of granite,
bricks and iron, and in architectural design
will partake of the Italian Renaissance
style, adapted in all its parts to the pur
poses ot an ideal public library. The front
granite walls ore flow raised around the
building to the second story of the main
entablature, most of the court walls are
up, the "book stacks" Inside are nearly
completed, and the central dome of the
rotunda is reu ly for the skylight roof. The
building is 470 feet ii "length, running
north and south, parallel with the Capitol,
and 340 feet in width, and when finished
will be 140 feet in height from the ground
to the top of the dome.
The granite used was all contracted for in
advance. It comes from Concord, N. H..
and Granite, Md. It is all cut and dressed
to scale at the quarries, and arrives here in
a finished condition, costing 53 per foot
The structural iron that has gone into the
library has been made mostly at Phoenix
ville, Pa., and Trenton, N. J., except the
iron of the central dome, which has all come
from Indianapolis. Ind. At least ".TOOO.-
000 bricks will be used before the structure I
is finished, and they are all to be made
within the limits of Washington. The
square tiles that are to be used for flooring
'will come from Western Massachusetts and
Vermont.
Bricks Imported From England.
The white enamelled bricks that line the
courts were brought from Leeds, England,
and cost 75 per thousand. No enamelled
bricks ot this kind were made in America
at the time the contracts were entered into.
All the work on the building is done on the
eight-hour system, in accordance with the
laws lately enacted by Congress; Over 500
men are employed at times,
The site unites the requisites of close
vicinity to the Capitol, salubrity, desirable
surroundings and elevation, the latter in
suring dryness, which is a cardinal point in
providing for a great national library that
is to last for centuries.
The building will have capacity for
3,000,000 volumes. The intention is not to
fit up the whole interior at once with iron
shelving, but to introduce it gradually,
finishing off only the central portions.
rotunda and connecting rooms at the out
set. The building consists of a high sub
basement or cellar, a rusticatedthign base
ment, and a main story, which is balustered
like the Capitol at the roof. The center and
corner pavilions have an attic to give them
height. A magnificent enamelled skylight
Is to be thrown over the great central pavil
ion to light its double stairways, which
leave a vast open space between them, pro
ceeding up to the main rotnnda of the
library. The portal of this front consists of
several great arches, and outside of these is
a grand stairway of gentle ascent, to which
carriage-ways and winding paths will be
graded.
Temperature Gradations Required.
From the boiler rooms, pnder ground and
east of the building,the steam pipes are laid
into the cellar, where they will heat the
water which in Its turn is to warm the in
terior atmosphere. Several different kinds
of temperature will be needed. The heat
which will be agreeable to occupants ot the
reading room would be decidedly too much
for the book stacks or for the museum.
There will be no lire in the building, al
though there might be with perfect safety.
There will be both stairways and eleva
tors, and an admirable system of communi
cation with the reading room that will
avoid all delay and contusion. The super
intendent of the reading room will occupy
a raised circular desk or dais in the middle
of the octagonal room, from there to
every part ot the book stacks close commu
nication will bo had by telephone or some
system of electric signals, and there will be
an "endless chain" system of book eleva
tors or dumb-waiters to every story of the
stacks.
The visitor selecting the book he wants,
after looking' over the catalogue at the cen
tral desk, will write the title or 'number of
the volume on a slit). His desiro will at
once be sent to that part of the repository
where the book is located, and the boolc,
being placed by an attendant in one of the
carriages of the endless chain, will be laid
before him in the twinkling of an eye.
Not a Gloomy Spot in It.
Unlike other big buildings, the new
library will have no dark places in it On
the lowest shelf In the remotest corner of
any of the book stacks it will be possible to
read readily on tho dullest or cloudiest
days. This will be due to the use of the.
enamelled bricks in the courtyard construc
tion. The reading room will be abundantly
lighted by the large half-moon windows in
the dome. t
The reading room and the main entrance
will receive the most elaborate interior dec
oration. The main entrance or vestibule
will open up from the main floor to the sky
light It will be a large, white marble
room, with heavy groined orcaes and col
umns, fn which there will be niches for
busts and statuary. The columns, stair
case, panels and balustrades will be of white
marble, and the carvings will be rich, but
not sufficiently so to mar the solid appear
ance of the design. Entering from this ves
tibule of glaring whiteness will be the read
ing room, which is to be trimmed with
panels and columns of colored marble, and
these will give it a warm, soft effect, restful
to the eye of the reader and suggestive of
quiet and comfort The keystones of the 33-
window arches on the exterior will be
adorned with carved heads representing the
various types and races of mankind. Each
keystone is a head, designed by an ethno
logical artist
Universal in Its Range;
The present or "old" library of Congress
now contains C75.000 books, 220,000 pam
phlets, 15,000 bound volumes of newspa
pers, 10,000 maps and an immense array of
valuable manuscripts, engravings, photo
graphs, photogravures, lithographs, chro
moa, prints, drawings, musical composi
tions and periodicals of all descriptions. It
is universal in its range, and is especially
rich in scientific works, history, jurispru
dence, biography and publications of every
sort relating to America and Americans.
The collection occupies the western projec
tion of the central Capitol building and was
commenced in 1800. In 1814 the little
neucleus of a library then assembled was
burned by the British, but it was replen
ished shortly afterward by the purchase of
Thomas Jefferson's private library of 7,000
volumes. In 1851 the collection embraced '
55,000 volnmes, but by an accidental fire in
that year 35,000 of them were destroyed.
The loss was made good by Congress, how
ever, and since then the library has steadily
and rapidly increased to its present propor
tions. Congress annually donates about 511,000
t'o the purchase of new books, and under
the operation of the old and new copyright
laws a bound copy of every copyrighted
publication issued in this country must be
deposited in the library. Furtheradditions
are received hy exchanges, donations and
bequests, the total average increase being
about 16,000 volumes annually. Regular
donations of newspaper files are made from
the Secretary's office of the United States
Senate, from the State Department, Inte
rior Department, Patent Office, Burean of
Statistics and other departments and bu
reaus of the Government.
Some Priceless literary Works.
In this great aggregated collection are
thousands of rare old volumes and
manuscripts of priceless worth. Among
the gems are a copy of the first printed
edition of Plato's works, published in tln
at Venice, in 1491: a copy of Cranmer'i
English Bible, printed at London In 1540;
Sallust's "Conspiracy of Cataline," in
English, printed in Loudon in 1541, with
autograph of Oliver Cromwell; a manuscript
Latin Bible on vellum, dating from tho
middle of the thirteenth century, of Italian
origin, embellished with countless mlniaturo
paintings and illuminated initial letters
purchased for 52,000 at the sale of the
Perkins Library in 1873; a first edition of
King James English Bible, published
in 1G11; several rare first editions
of Shakespeare, folio, printed in 1623;
a lirst edition 01 Jkliltons "Para

the only complete set in America; a com
plete file of the Daily London Times from
1796; a complete file of the French Jfoniieur
from its beginning in 1789; a complete file

Library of Historian Bancroft
New collections of books are purchased
by the Government at frequent intervals. A
proposition is now pending to buy tha
magnificent historical library of the lata
George Bancroft for 575,000. It contains
20,000 volumes, and is the material collected
by the distinguished historian in the pre
paration of his history of tha United
States. Among the rarities oi this collec
tion are volumes of the original papers of
the "Committee on Correspondence" in tha
American colonies prior to the Revolution
tha engine which drew the colonists to
gether in the scheme of opposition to Great
Britain; volumes ot documents and papers
of the Revolutionary patriots, including
Washington, Franklin, Jeflerson, tha
Adamses, Hancock and Lee.
Another proposition is pending before
Congress to purchase for 5500,000 tha
library collected by the California historian,
Hubert H. Bancroft, consisting of 60,001)
books, manuscripts, maps and pamphlets,
principally concerning the discovery, settle
ment and development of the Paciho Coast.
Throngh the influence and instrumentality
of this great library the City of Washington
will become the Mecca of the student, tha
author, historian and scientist, as well asy-
the resort of politicians and statesmef
since it is the seat ot Government, and the
library in conjunction with the Smith
sonian Institution, the National Museum,
the Pitent Office, the Naval Observatory,
and the Army Medical Museum will confer
on the national capital the proud distinction
of being a permanent center of intellectual
activity and research.

yet she is an ardent politician, thoroughly
comprehending the questions of the day,
and able vo discuss them from the platform
wisely and well. This taste for politics is
inspired by her husband, the Earl, and en
couraicd by their mutual friend, the Hon.
William E. Gladstone, who probably gave
her when she was little Ishbel Majoribanks
her first lessons in affairs of state.
The Countess and Mr. Gladstone have
been friends from her infancy, he having
been a frequent guest at Dallis Hill, then her
father's(Lord Tiveedmouth's)English place,
but now the home of the Earl and Countess.
It is told that in those days, mounted upon
her little pony, she was the favorite com
panion o' Mr. Gladstone during his rides,
and he has said of her that even so arly
she seemed best entertained when he talked
to her concerning principles and people.
A Firm rrfend or Ireland.
The friendship1 lasted, and at Dallis Hill
there is a room known as Mr. Gladstone's
room, where as often as the press of things
political will allow him a snatched vaca

friends, the Earl and Countess, and there in
the little orange-colored study he rests,
