 The first annual banquet of the New Haven Typothetae was given last night at the Elliott House and was 8 great success. The Typo. thete was organized not very long ago for the purpose of intercourse between news paper publishers and leading job printers for mutual benefit.
 Several gentlemen were present last night from out of the city, ,and so well pleased were they with the purpose and object of the Ty- pothete that before leaving they expressed desire to become members. Landlord Crane had a feast served that would have satisfied Epicurus. There were covers for forty. The menu was very elaborately gotten up. MT. c. S. Warehouse of Futile, Morehouse & Taylor, acted as toastmsster. He responded to the toast, "Welcome." He said:

 "Our Guests'' was responded to by Clar- ence Deming. He favorably impressed the guests with the importance of the Typothetss. The object is to know what it costs to do a certain amount of work, and of union, com bination and helpfulness of it's members. The order is neither a trust nor combination to put down labor. It proposes to do what is right always, looking for the advancement of those engaged in one business.
 Editor Morrow of the Waterbury American was called upon for "Our Publishers" He said Mr. Price, of Price, Lee S Co.,, had been delegated to respond, but that he had turned the task over to him. MT. Morrow said it was 8 good maxim to say nothing and I say it as quickly as possible He spoke of the arrangement which has heretofore existed between the business de- partment and the editorial departments of newspapers in the past and now that is changed. Journalism is not now hap-haz- ard undertaking, but profession. The business and editorial departments are work ing hand in hand, and arm in arm.
 There was so loud a olamor for Mir. Price that he was almost forced to respond, and he did it most happily and wittily.

Vixen Mr. Near, in his conclusion, said he desired to become member of the | order there was loud applause.
 'sThe Press' was responded to by ex- Mayor Samuel A. York. He said he believed | it was the usual custom to give toasts to ! those who knew nothing about them. The | pleasant assembly broke up at 12 o'clock, all we'll pleased with the occasion,
