DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA BOOKS
Copies OF Some of the En rliest Known
to Have Been Printed
There.

Those who have given attention to
the past history of the district, and es-
pecially to the put of the local print
ing press in the early years, will be in
terested to know that quite recently
some important additions have been
made to the stock of information on
that subject. About year ago pa
per on the early imprints of the district
was read before the Columbia His
torical society by Mr.. A. P. c. Griffin,
who is at the head Of the photographic
department of the library of congress.
This paper will be the fourth volume
of the proceedings of the society, which
is about ready for the press, says the
Washington Star. The earliest book
mentioned by Mr.. Griffin is the Po-
tomac almanac for the year 1892, pub
lished in Georgetown. There is no date
in the imprint, but the supposition is
that the work was printed in the year
1892.
Since then there has come into the
possession of Mr.. w. b. Bryan Cath
oic book of devotions bearing the i'm
print OF Georgetown, 1892, which is the
earliest known date of any book pub
lished in the district. Quite recently,
however, Mr. John T. Loomis discovered
pamphlet bearing date of 1871 and
printed in Georgetown by NJ. Day and
w. Hancock. The pamphlet contains
two sermons on the perseverance of the
saints by John Bloomer Balch, pastor
of the Presbyterian church of George
town and a well-known resident of the
district al the time and for several
years afterward.

HEIGHT OF EDWARD VII.
The New King of England Is Rather
n Short Man, Says an Eng
lishman.

ut seems to be the general impress
sion over here that the new king of
England is large, heavily built sort of
person." said an under-sized English
man in one of the hotels recently to a
Chicago Inter Ocean reporter. "The
impression is gained from his photo
graphs and from the pictures in the
illustrated papers, which certainly
would lead anyone to believe that Ed
ward VII. was at any rate above the
medium height. But he isn't.
II don't know of any official record
of his majesty's height but he must be
shade under five feet five without his
shoes. l know this, because l stood be-
side him for a few minutes at state
funeral. Now, my height is exactly
feet AZ inches, and l noticed that he
seemed exactly as tall, but as he was
broader and much heavier than I, he
seemed larger man.
THE fact surprised me, because had
never seen him at short range before.
l wouldn't be SO certain about it had
not friend who stood behind me, and
was as much surprised at the discovery
as i was, mentioned to me that he had
noticed that / was as big man as my
future king.
so, giving him the benefit of the
doubt for quarter of an inch, that S
his size-5 feet 5. and the illustrations
that depict him as standing nearly to
the height of men of feet 10 or there
abouts are either fixed up with desire
to please him-though it has never been
said that he was sensitive on the point
or with the idea of letting the world
at large believe that our royal person
ages were just as big as those of any
other country"

DRINK In SOUTH CAROLINA.
People of the state Consumed Two
and n Half Millions worth of
Liquor In Eleven Months.

The largest whisky bottling estab-
hshment in the world is located in
South Carolina, says the New York
Herald. There are extensive distil-
lcries and immense botthng works
scattered throughout the country, as
may be noted by the advertisements
on the dead walls of the city But
the palmetto state concern towers
above them all.
In the II months of the year 1900
the month of December not being
considered in the fiscal arrangement
the commonwealth, in it's capacity
OF barkeeper to all it's citizens, dis
posed of S2,4s1 ,s4O,22 worth of drink
ables. This sum was in advance of
the entire preceding 12 months by
$f5O,OOO. For the entire year of 1900
the increase has been $1,000, 900, sug-
gesting remarkable advance in the
thirst of the people of South Caro-
ma. December was naturally the
heaviest month of all in the sales
at the various dispensaries scattered
throughout the state. All the coun-
try and his brother appeared to be in
want of bottle during the month
OF the great holiday, and thus the
sales rose $25O,O00 in 81 days.
South Carolina's experiment in
drink selling has proved unusually in
teresting. The system was put in
practice in 1894, at which time the
state advanced $4,000 for "stock."
This $4,000 has long since been re-
turned to the treasury, and the state,
the counties and the cities have been
making money ever since.
Out of the sales last year the profits
to the state was $176,O12, and this
will be used for the improvement of
the public schools. rhe remainder
of the total profits of $474, 17s is to be
divided among the towns and coun-
ties in whose districts are dispen-
saries.
