The E. & w. Laundry has grown to
be one of the city's points of interest,
Twelve to fifteen thousand pieces of
linen are ironed daily, with a capacity
of three times that much. Employ
ment is given to more than seventy
people. Three young men are con-
stantly employed in counting, marking,
checking and classifying the. linen from
the wagons for the large washing MAJ
chimes. The laundering then conn
mences with the washing process, the
clothes being placed in cylinders which
rotate back and forth until. the gar
inents are thoroughly cleansed.
The finest laces and linens and. lawns
are handled in this department with
the necessary care required by their
peculiar structure. From the washing
machines and porcelain hand tubs the
clothes are placed in centrifugal eS-
tractors which relieve them OF their
water. The mangle department usual
ly catches the eye of the. visitor and
one admires the finished work turned
out from this machine.
The clothes are next starched, and
rain or shine, are dried, just the same
in thirty minutes. and after they come
from the dry rooms, are danpened and
arranged preparatory to the ironing. r.
A shirt in the ironing department
goes through six hands, and is finished
equal to new r
The machines used for ironing and
finishing collars and cuffs are Of special
design, and are most elaborate. Six to
eight thousand collars and. cuffs are
ironed daily, and in the early summer
months, ten to twelve thousand are fn-
ished. Ladies who visit the laundry
are attracted most by the fancy wear,
and are surprised at the excellent work
done and the care bestowed on these
elaborate pieces. sfs .as7....sss.,

UNIVERSITY MEN
DINE TONIGHT.

The annual dinner of the University
Club will be held this evening at the
De Soto. The affair, while thoroughly
informal, will be elaborate, and in
keeping with the annual celebration of
the organization. No set speeches will
be made. President P. w. Meldrim
will preside, acting as postmaster. 1t
is probable that quite a number of
impromptu speeches will be made, 1t
takes little to cause an alumnus of
the state university to laud his alma

vitation of the POSTMASTER will be re-
sponsible for. numerous toasts to the

FIRMS
GREAT CONTRACT
Butler & Bosher Will Again
Supply the Needs OF the
Navy.

TbA contract ror furnishing tho United
states navy with tobacco for the ensuing
year has again fallen into the hands OF
Butler & Bosher, the manufacturers OF
this city, who have upon several previous
occasions succeeded In capturing the rich
plum.
The news travelled fast over Shotkoe
Slip yesterday. Mr.. Butler was on the
sales as usual. and at every turn sone-
body asked him about the contract, In
the majority of cases he threw Off the
inquiries with some Joke, declaring that
he could not discuss the mattor Finally,
however he Indicated even more readily
than by his refusal to deny It that the re-
port was true. "Yo,l may say for publ
cation" he declared. that I have just
gotten into my new factory and that
will probably start Off with the navy con-
tract"
The contract Is a matter OF very consd-
cradle Importance. and there Is always
sharp competition for It.
This year there was onll for 10000
pounds Of manufactured tobacco. about
5000 more than last year. Bids were
opened In March, and the award was
made a day or two later.
Mr.. Butler submitted bids running from
IS cents to 43 i-2 cents per pound. Tho
tobacco at IS cents was that CHOSEN j no
first delivery was to be made on May list.
but owing to the lnte hour Mt which the
award was made there will probably be
an extension OF time.
AS usual. there were quite a number OF
other firms competing for tho contract.
which represents In money some $4,000
or $4,000 The Richmond concerns In the
race were the Continental Tobacco Com
pany, G. D. Larus 81 Company, w. T.

The contract firm has Just moved into

all modern Improvements. The main
building Is five stories high, measuring
14oS4o feet and has nm annex also i've
stories, s0x40.
In speaking OF his new factory yester-
day. Mr.. Butler referred to recently
published runlor that he had sold out to
the Continental Tobacco Company. He
made fiat denial OF the statement.
An exceptionally interesting report Is
abroad in connection with the new fac
tory OF Butler & Bosher. 1t has been sug-
gested to Mr.. Butler. It Is understood,
that he omen something after the fashion
OF training school ut his plant.
While there can be obtained no definite
information upon this point. It Is under
stood that Mr.. Butler views the scheme
with favor, and that he will probably
