The Georgetown Murder.


Allen d Co., the clothiers, told PRESS
reporter yesterday that from the descrip-
ton of the victim of the Georgetown
murder they were unable to
place the man. If the overcoat, said in
the press dispatches to have borne the
company's label is a custom made coat
it will have label on the inside breast
pocket as well as on the collar, and if
that turns out to be the case and they
can see the coat they will undoubtedly
be able to tell for whom it was made. If,
however, it is a sale made coat, bought
from their stock of ready-made clothing,
there would be no means of identifying
it. The police had heard nothing yester-
day in regard to the matter.

The Press Portfolios.

Few realize that in the stupendous
grandeur of it's scenery North America
is without rival in the world. The
Selkirk mountains in Canada make the
Alps appear insignificant by comparison.
The Mississippi is the longest river in
the world; the grand Canyon of the
Colorado, the most appalling chasm of
the earth; the Mammoth Cave of Ken
lucky the largest and strangest cavern.
Everything is built on a wonderous
scale. Colorado is seven times larger
than Switzerland and contains much
more startling and beautiful scenery.
All these things will be seen and de-
scribed in america Photographed" and
part of them have already been shown in
the first three numbers which have been
issued. These three parts can be OBJ
tanned now at the portfolio department
of the PRESS, and part four which will
illustrate San Francisco and the Mid
Winter Fair, is expected daily.
Part two of Famous Paintings of the
World" is even better than number one,
is the general comment. This is saying
a great deal, as number one was model
of fine work. The paper on which this
portfolio is printed is heavy plated paper,
and when the parts are bound up on
completion of the series the book will be
an elegant volume The publishers are
watching every detail concerning each
issue, and the standard will be kept up
to the end. Surely no better chance. can
eve, be offered to secure a volume of re-
productions of famous and popular
paintings at so low price. The series
is having a deservedly \ large sale and as
first editions are always the best we
advise all to secure the parts as issued.
We can furnish parts one and two now.
The novel idea of CHASING a large num-
Der of the characters that frequented the
Midway Plaisance together in one num-
Der of the Photographic Panorama of
the Worlds Fair" made great demand
for this number. In number four are
several pages of such portraits, about
cabinet size and it makes an interesting
addition to Worlds Fair collections. We
can now supply ali four numbers of this
