The New York Tribune Almanac
was first published in 1888 under an
other name. 1t has appeared every year
except one, since that date, continu-
ously confirming and enhancing its
original claim to the confidence of the
country. In recent years it's size has
been extended to meet the requirements
of growing population, with greater
complexity of interests, and now con-
tains a much more varied assortment
of topics. 1t yet remains compact and
portable, while extraordinarily compre-
hensive. We observe that the 1899 num-
Der contains the Constitution of the
United States; the salient features of
the Constitution of New York; the
charter OF Greater New York; a COM
plete history of the war with Spain
including the treaty of the Joint Com
mission In Paris: and the monetary sys-
