tween 7th and 9th streets. These three
stands are being erected by reputable hold
ers of concessions and will be the only
ones on Pennsylvania avenue east of 10Th

Inaugural Souvenir.
Mr.. John B. Wight, chairman of the COM
mittee invitations and tickets has re-
ceived the first copy of the official inaugural
souvenir which will be given to each pur-
ii
edly handsome affair, bound in board and en-
belIished with a gold eagle on the front
page, the simple design being distinctive of
the government. The book contains the
pc rtraits of all the Presidents of the United
States together with brief account OF
IL cir respective inaugurations. The por-
tcaits in the book are half-tone reproduc-
ticns of steel plates furnished the commit
tee by the bureau of engraving ana prlnu-
ing, and are, therefore, authentic. The ac-
T1Tr1fc 1fin lpIlr1 ed
records in the Congressional Library, and
are also historically correct.
Mr.. Wight presented the first volume of
the souvenir to Chairman JnO. JOY Edison.
A finely engraved design, containing pOr
traits of President Mckinley and Mr..
Roosevelt is the frontispiece, and was
made at the bureau Of engraving and
printing. The book is eminent success,
ma rked throughout by d rich simplicity
that it is believed will appeal to all people.
Chairman Edison expressed his enthusiastic
approval of the volume and complimented
Mr.. Wight and his committee in the high
est terms.
1T is a souvenir people will treasure"
said Mr. Edison, and the finest of its kind
l believe ever issued. 1t is artistic ana
chaste and IS a fine success
