declares that the price he paid for
two all-wool suits and an overcoat at
this house was only s1.25 more than
they asked him down the street for
just one suit. Then they leave this

sal, VIC will 60 down to fiamllton'S

A NEW PUBLICATION.
The Attractive Year Book of the
Typographical Union.

The Attractive Year Book of the
Typographical Union.
The first annual year book of Columbia
Typographical Union No. 101, just issued
by the Law Reporter Company. is a
beautiful specimen of the art of printing
1t contains a brief history of the forma-
tion, progress, and success of the organi-
cation. 1t was not decided by the union
to issue a year book until March 10 last
and the great mass of useful information
concerning the organization reflects credit
upon the committee which had charge of
the publication. The history of Columbia
union is complete from the time of the
formation of the original typographical
Society on December 10. 1914, down TO the
present time The history of the organi-
zation is written by p. J. Haltigan and
shows the interest its members have al
ways taken in public affairs and public
men.
The imposing stone upon which the first
constitution of the union was drafted is
still in the possession OF Columbia union
In those days and even to within the last
decade the union held it's meetings in
rented halls, but now it owns it's own
home. a beautiful brown stone structure
On G Street, between Fourth and Fifth
Streets, northwest. In the old days the
Otder members VI the oISdHlLdtioH were
chosen to conduct the affairs of the union,
but two years ago the younger element
put forward what was known as the young
blood of the union for the presidency and
after a sharp contest Edwin G. Jones, the
present executive officer was elected by a
large majority. At the last annual election
he was reelected. Most of the other Off
GERS chosen at that time are young men
about the same age as Mr.. Jones. Mr..
Michael Caton has the distinction of hold
Ing Office longer than any other member,
being chosen treasurer for thirty-slx con-
secutiye terms.

FANNY MENDELssoHN CONCERT
Sale of Seats Continues Today at
Powell's Music Store.

The sale of seats for the Fanny Men
delssohn concert, which will be given
Thursday evening at the Lyceum,
opened auspiciously at Powelrs yester-
day. Appearances indicate that it will
be a musical and social event of the
highest order. The society congratu-
lates itself upon having secured Frau
lein Gaertner the 'cellst, and Madame
Katharine Fisk, contralto.
The latter, according to the last num-
ber of the New York Musical Courier,
which devotes a column to her last New
York concert, has made New York her
home; she is fresh from signal London
triumphs, which she will not exploit
desiring to stand upon her merits as an
artist only. She has acted wisely. for
now she has won an unique position;
she stands quite alone among Ameri-
cans, and New York can congratulate
itself that she has come here to stay.
When one remembers the artists that
have sung here this winter, and can
say that. always with one signal ex-
ception, Mrs. Fisk's Interpretation was
superior to any. one can know con-
clusively what manner of artist she
is."
