miscuous Donations of any Character.

The Superior Mercantile associa
ton held meeting at the West Su.

organization was perfected and suCl
officers elected as were not elected al
| the first meeting, and the adoption OF
a constitution and bylaws was con
summated The complete list of Off

Various matters relating to the com.
mercial interests of the city were
discussed and special committees were
appointed to act upon the same. In
regard to those matters the associa-
ton deemed it best for the committees
to work quietly without the details
being published, and therefore moth
ing relating to work of the committees
was given to the press.
A very interesting feature of the
proceedings of the meeting was the
adoption OF the by laws, from which
the following is copied:

Cuous gratuities and donations, the
purchase of advertising space in pub
LEGATIONS other than daily and weekly
newspapers, the buying of ball, ban

tickets for the purpose of compliment
and not for other use, has become an
abuse that amounts to tax OF many
thousands of dollars each year upon
the trade OF this city, and this heavy
expense ultimately, like other ex-
penses incident to commerce, falls
largely upon the buying public
