...impressed were Congressmen that the bill to purchase the Incunabula passed the House without a dissenting vote. In the Senate, Massachusetts' Gillett was the only possible obstacle. He said: "Great museums and libraries and collections of pictures and jewels have in the past been purchased by monarchs, who have thereby made their cities celebrated. . . .

Shuey, for 61 years a short-hand reporter of Senate debates. Last week Reporter Shuey, small, wiry, was 85. The Senate laid aside the Tariff Bill long enough to congratulate him on his great age and his still great ability as a stenographer. As it happened, he was reporting during...
