tho "most magnificent public
jlldlng in tho United States," as
building In tho United States," as
Now Yorkers characterize the, public
library, now neaiing completion at
Fifth Avenue and -12nd Street, on the
slto of a once famous reservoir, there
will bo sixty-three miles of book
2holvo3. It Is estimated that these
shelves will afford lodgment for
about 3,500,000 volumes.
Realizing tho extreme value of tho
treasures which will bo stored here,
tho architects and builders have
takon especial caro to make certain
that this mammoth collection shall
be safo from flro. Tho beautiful
Btructuro will bo aa nearly fireproof
as human Ingenuity can assure.
Tho walls of tho building are of
masslvo stone, shining white. It fills
the cnllro frontage of two city blocks
from 40th to -12nd street, facing east.
It Is 394 feet long, 27 lleet deep, and
130 feet above tho ground at Its
highest point. Selected stono3 from
tho walls of tho old reservoir com
pose! a largo part of the foundations.
Tho walls are six feet thick at the
base. Tho marble facing is com
posed of solid blocks a foot or more
thick.
From every standpoint of library
arrangement the stock room at tho
rear, overlooking Bryant Park, Is the
uni'iuo feature ol tho library. In the
room, which is 2 97 feet long, 7S feet
wide and 53 feet high, is a structure
of steel beams covering almost tho
ontlro space. This is tho bookcase.
Four and n half million pounds of
steel wero put into it. Tho weight
will fall upon 70 1 cast Iron columns,
bolted at their bases to solid rock.
Floors and partitions will bo made of
hol.ow blocs oi i.uj i..va co... a,
which, manulaciui-wJ undar a her.:.
equal to that of any possiblo con
flagration, Is unburnable. The In
terior steel columes in tho library,
too, are protected against flro by
hollow blocks, for it has been proved
by tests that stool gives way when ex
posed to very groat heat.
Tho principal reading room Is In
tho top of tho building and Its win
dows look on Fifth avenuo and on
Bryant Park. By day all light will
bo furnished' by tho sun, and tho big
room, on account of Its lofty and op
en position, will bo especially well
lighted. It will bo a show placo of
tho city.
Between tho reading rooni and tho
stock room beneath thoro will bo di
rect vertical communication. When
a reader wants a certain book ho
glvos his ordor to an attendant near
his seat, and in tlireo or four minutes
tho desired volunin Is in Ills bauds.
Tho basomont contains parcel
rooms, a department for tho exhibi
tion of patents, u special library of
chlldron's books, a luncheon room, a
book bindery, qunrtors and lockers
for omployes, and an olllco of tho
circulating department of tho library.

ACT I.
Marshfleld Leaguers canter to
places on diamond. Young man
with maiden occupies grand stand.
Young man evidently a ball fan.
Young lady there to learn the game.
The band strikes up a martial air
and the assemblage listens entranced.
Suddenly the music stops, there Is a
hush, broken at length by the Um
pire's "Play Ball." Tho batter as
sumes position, tho white spheroid
come3 whlrtllng over the homo bag
and the "umps" calls out, "Strike
W-h-a-n."
"Oh, John," echoes the maiden
above tho roar of the grand stand
and rooters on tho lines, "how can
that man tell that?"
John assumes a parental air.
"Why, my dear, he stands in a line
behind tho home plate and notes the
course which the ball takes after
leaving the pitcher's hands."
"Bing," goes a little single down
to short. Short grabs ball, shoots it
over to first. Runner and ball ap
pear to have anlvcd simultaneously.
"You'r out," says the umpire.
"O-oh," goes up a groan from the
grand stand.
"Rotten!" comes the answering
echo from tho. rooting line.
John's chorus part is interrupted
by tho maiden's soft insiste.it; "but
John, you never told me why that
man lias to stand beninci tne nome
plato to seo the ball come."
John turned a pair of eyes from
which shone the diamond f.u-vor.
"Did you seo that. He was safe
by a milo. Rotten!"
"Dear, you never told me why tho
man lias to stand behind the home
plato to see tho ball."
"Oh, yes, yes, that's his position
"W-h-o-u-u! Good boy, Mickey. It's
good for three bases."
It looked as If tho sphero was
novor going to stop and tho grand
stand and the rooting lines yolled and
shouted as though they would send
It on by sheer will power. Every
body was wildly
"But, John, couldn't he stand be
hind tho pitcher's box just as well."
"Eh, oh.what d'you great work,
old boy. FIno, fine "
"But, John, he could couldn't he,"
Thoro were two men on bases and
two out. John's tense posture and
fixed gaze on tho batter told the story
of tho wild tumult of enthusiastic
ardor that was raging within.
"Couldn't ho, John?"
"What's that?" said John, never
taking his eyes off tho batsman.
"Ho could, couldn't ho?"
"Who could? What d'y'u mean?"
"Ho could stand somewhere elso If
ho wanted to, couldn't ho?"
Tho porsplia'ion oozed from John's

beloved one, ho sitk- 'tr-1 tl at they
tnko their departure
Nobody could name one who could
execute the work, but several re
membered a hobo artist who came
through this country some years ago
and pointed a number of canvasses
ro'-"sentativp of Inal scenes. But
ho departed long ago, and owing to
his uncertain habits and roaming
propensities, Is not available at the
present time. This man's work,
while not noted throughout the
country, is of very fair execution,
and locally throughout all Oregon,
his pictures decorate one placo of
business and another, and he is re
membered well as a man who can
paint If he is sober. A great portion
of his work is found in saloons,
where the canvasses went In part
payment for boozo.
There Is no foundation in tho ru
mor that Charles Lee, who was as
sistant umpire in the game between
Bandon and Marshficld on Sunday,
was "fixed" bj Marshneid. Mr. Lee
was seen and questioned regarding
the rumor. He was not half so In
dignant as he shoufd have been and
said there was positively no truth in
tho story. He stated, however, that
ho thought Marshfleld needed aid
from some quarter and so he was
willing to help. It was learned on
tho outside that Mr. Lee received
money for umpiring tho game, but
not enough to promote the belief he
had performed for Marshfleld's
special benefit.
sharp notice he will discover an In
variable vein of sarcasm acenmnan"-
Ing the observation. And that leads A
some to the thought that Marshfleld
could afford a new town boll when
the llcciisi fro is raised to ?800 per
annum. But there will be time to
discuss that when the time arrives.
FRANCIS CLARKE ENTERS
LAW PARTNERSHIP
It Is often remarked by visitors
that Marshfleld's curfew is a
screamer. But wo need not take
their word literally, for If one takes
Hon. Francis II. Clarke, formerly
of St. Paul, Minnesota, but for the
past year well known In Marshfleld,
and Hon. J. W. Snover, formerly of
Condon, this state, have formed a
partnership for tho practice of law,
with ofllces In tho Rogers building,
on the corner of A and Front streets
in Marshfleld. The firm name will
lie Clarke & Snovor.
Mr. Clarke was for sixteen years a
successful lawyer In St. Paul and
became known throughout Minnesota '
for his defense in Uo murder cases
of State vs. Williams nnrj nlso State
vs. Fellows. He was equally re
sourceful as a civil lawyer and has
gained a reputation as an author,
writer of magazine articles and plat
form speaker. Ho says he came to
the coast to escape thirty below zero.
Mr. Snover Is also eminent In his
profession and came hero from Con
don, Oregon, where he has been one
of the leading lawyers of Central
Oregon for many years. Tho firm
is a strong one and both members
aro popular and capable and will do
well in this section.

A roportor can always gather up
somothing interesting nny day ho

tho Chamber of Commerce head
quarters on Front street yesterday a
fow of tho faithful wore gathered
and tho nintter of getting results was
discussed. One man told of having
traveled through Montana, nnd at
nutto ho had seen what ho consider
ed ono of tho best Ideas for exploit
ing a country thnt hns come to his
notice. Montana has Charley Rus

Is known throughout this country
and oven ncross tho pond. Montana
swears by him, nnd his canvasses
representing tho plains and Mon
tana scones aro familiar to any ono
who over tarried In tho Copper
Stnto. In nutte, Is a gallery filled
with Russell's pictures nnd it is said
more interest hns been aroused la
tho statu through theso pictures than
in any other way, not oxcoptlng tho
$30,000 Clnrk senatorial scandal.
It was suggested by tho narrator
that such a gallery of Coos Day nnd
contiguous scenes would captivate
strangers' fancy Immediately if pic
