halted the paraders and demanded an
explanation. The count said he was
on his way home and had bought the
sofa and that it was his property.
The officer probably thought the ques-
ton Of propriety too important for
him to decide and escorted the pris-
oners, including the sofa, into the
presence of the precinct captain. The
count told his story and presented his
receipt for the sofas purchase. The
captain verified these statements by
telephoning to the restaurant propri-
etor and advised his unwilling guests
to go home.
In less than an hour the captain was
astonished to have the sofa and it's
retinue of attendants brought before
him by another officer. The party was
released a second time. The incident
was repeated three times, and the cap
tain was becoming a fit subject for
the madhouse when he had a brilliant
idea. Four officers were ordered to
march with the count, the sofa and the
party to escort them home.
Slowly the procession moved toward
the shore When landing place was

made a jump for the bridge, where a

A Final Authority

~ HE three points on which the reader will
naturally seek to assure himself before sub
scribing the merits of the book, its utility to
him personally and its cheapness.
~ The Encyclopedias Britannica has al
ways been unique among works of universal ref
erence in that it is not merely based on the best
authorities, but constitutes a final authority in
itself. The Eleventh Edition, written by the
leading scholars and specialists of FL countries
(including 200 Americans), represents the best
efforts of the men who are identified with prog
ress, and with the most advanced knowledge in
every field of human endeavor, and who have
here interpreted that knowledge for the general
reader. The Endorsement of the new edition by
the University OF Cambridge, its acquisition by
the leading colleges, Libraries, educational foun-
dations, institutions and universities throughout
the United States, and the unreserved comme,,-
dation which it has earned from the experts who
have studied its articles from their special view
point, are SO many guarantees to the subscriber
that the high standard of the past has in the
present edition been fully maintained

Its Utility

dividuai reader it is perhaps sufficient to say
that the new edition has now been tested OUT

purpose it has proved equal to the demands laid
upon it. Thus the purchaser of the new Britain

THE BOOK and
THE OFFER
Some Considerations
For the Perusal of
Those Who Have
Not as Vet Regis
tered Their Appli-
cations.

CIMPLY in the light of the fact that 100000
copies (authorized or "pirated") of the 9th
the last completely new-edition of the Encyclo-
paedia Britannica were sold and that e years
have elapsed since it was issued, the accumulated
demand for the nth edition (by which. it is en-
tireiy superseded) must eventually be very great.
What is pertinent at the present moment is that,
although orders are coming in at the rate of $50
70 400 day. and the lists for the first distribution
OF the work already contain 77,5I5 names, there
are many thousands of prospective subscribers
who have not made application because they have
not as yet seen t to investigate the merits of the
book and the exceptional features of the present
offer
The usual method of selling the Encyclopedias
Britannica has been through agents or canvassers.
In the case of the Eleventh Edition, publicity
J. e., advertising and circularizing-is the method
employed, and it is and will continue to be the
only method.
The Cambridge University Press, founded
nearly four hundred years ago, with the object
publishing works regarded by the University
itself as of enduring value, is anxious that as
many subscribers as possible shall profit by the
current concession, but the manufacturing de-
partment is confronted with the difficult problem
of adjusting their obligations in the matter OF
forward deliveries. Owing to the magnitude of
the technical production of ao volumes of 1000
pages each, no provision can be made at present
for the execution of orders received after the 3Is
instant, will they be accepted to be filed
even when this first distribution is complete ex.
cept at rates so cents per volume, or $I45o per
set, higher than those still in force

based upon these and other obvious facts might
be used in relation to any object in common use
In the case of the new Encyclopedias Britain
MICA the results of the innovation are much more
important.
The slightest difference in the frame of mind
of the reader directly affects the usefulness OF
the page he reads, just as the least difference in
his bodily conditions affects the nutritive value os
his diet. The absorbing of information, the stin1-
ulating of original thought, by reading is not
mechanical process The influence of some of ...e
most famous among books is due quite as much to
the agreeable style in which they are written tc
the of their contents; the reader gets the
utmost benefit of the writer's ideas because while
reading he is pleased and feels at ease. The clear
ness, the conciseness and the vital interest of an
article in the new Encyclopaedia Britannica are
directly increased when set.printed on India
paper and bound in flexible leather is employed
A volume that can be comfortably held between
finger and thumb while the reader sits at ease in
armchair, is powerful factor in the inc. easing
struggle between the minds hunger for more
knowledge and the fatigue produced by constant
work THE hand does not now get tired before
the BRAIN
A library of reference-or, more accurately,
the ideal library of reference, for the new Ency-
clopaedia Britannica is unique from every point
of views unlike any other convenience of daily
life It's usefulness is as clearly defined as that of
any appliance, and yet it demands only the SUR
plus moments of its possessors time and the rem
nants of his attention. The fascination of the
fresh subjects of thought it gives him. and the OBJ
vious utility of the information he acquires from
it make it not only possible but agreeable for him
to use his mind when he is so tired that any
further routine work would be impossible. But
under such conditions, even the interest of the
novel information vividly presented by the I,5oo
distinguished writers should not be obscured by
the sense of discomfort and fatigue that inevitably
accompanies the reading of cumbrous volume.
The only book that tired man can read to ad-
vantage is book that imposes upon him no mus
cular effort

s. a Volume as Against 81. so


Cd The utility and scope of the Encyclopae-
dia Britannica are so truly in a class by them
selves that the only standard by which the money
value of the new edition can be gauged is the
price paid for the 9th (I875-1S8o). A great many
Americans purchased that edition when it was
first issued in this country and paid the Lon
don price of $7.so.or 80 shillings volume, Cloth
Bound. The Half Russia volumes of the 9th
Edition cost $40 EACH The 9th Edition volumes
contained about $50 pages to volume as against
an average Of 1000 in the nth Edition.
The literary contents Of the 9th Edition cost
10000 or 100000. and the expense of type
setting, maps, plates, ETC., brought the total ex
pense of production up to 100000:
The literary cost of the new nth Edition
was $81 5000 and the total cost of production be.

cess of $1,I5oooo
From another point of view the new nth
Edition is low-priced Since 90 per cent of the
American subscribers have preferred their vol
umes printed on India Paper, which is not pro-
duced in this country, it has been necessary to
import large quantities of this paper upon which
customs duty at IS per cent had to be paid 1t
takes 70 pounds of India paper for one set OF
books.
Finally, the leather for the Full Sheep and
Full Morocco volumes with flexible backs is Of
English make and the skins for the binding OF
the American edition are all imported, and on
these customs duty has to be paid at the rate of
IS per cent ad valorem for Sheepskin and 20 per
cent for Morocco.
Yet the American price for the work is prac.
tically the same the London price-viz., $500

SURPRISE TO MR. BAKER
Attaches of The Garfield Plan Party
 for Proprietor.

A surprise dinner was arranged by employees of Landlord Baker, Monday evening-the young ladies of the house. hold being chiefly responsible for the project and entitled to the credit for the successful carrying out of the plan. They issued invitations to number of Mir. Bakers friends, to assemble in that gentleman's private apartments at nine o'clock. In order to insure complete surprise MT. Baker was inveigled into taking ride to Great Burlington in the afternoon, and detained until suitable hour; ill the meantime the household set vigorously at work and transformed the front dining room into bower of beauty, with lavish profusion of chrys- anthemums which completely filled the space in the center of the room, around which the tables were arranged in the form of square. From the central pillar which was wound with wide rib bon depended numerous strands of baby ribbon which radiated in all directions to the table, where the ends were fasten- ed to miniature and life-like turkeys provided for each guest.
 On arriving at nine o'clock, and nnd- ing his apartments occupied by solemn circle of dressed-up guests. MT. Bakers surprise was complete and genuine. The feasting was begun immediately, and the efficient dining room force served the splendid menu in prompt and skill. ful fashion. It was one of the best din- ners ever given in the house, and Mir. Baker said it could not have been better, in any detail of menu or service, If he had superintended the job himself.
 After exhausting the bill of fare the ladies left the guests to enjoy themselves as they pleased. Songs were sung, stories were told. jokes cracked, expressions of good will extended to MT. Baker, in whose honor the ladies had prepared the feast and invited the guests as an evi- dence of good will, and it was nearly midnight when the party bl oke up.
 Among the guests were, E. L. Roberts. George Roger, F. H. Wilcox, John l. Thurlough, o. T. Vosburgh, L. O.. Rhoades, B. A. Peirce. G. A. Adam, George P. Hardenbergh, Walter Hayes, N.
