Where the Similarity Came In.

AS back-handed slap at well-known n member of Congress who is too fond of looking upon the wine when it is ami lined, MT. Depew tells this anecdote:
 "The member of Congress was being shaved by an aged colored barber in Wash ington. The shop was a favorite one with the prominent men of the Capital, and the old darky who presided over it often boasted that he had shaved every great statesman since the Madison Administra- tion, which may or may not have been true. The member of Congress referred to was being shaved by the veteran one day when he said to the latter:
 Uncle, you must have shaved many fa- nous men?'
 "Oh, yes, sah; has indeed
 And great many of those famous per sonages must have sat in this very chair where am sitting, eh?'
 !" Oats right, sah. An Ise jes' been a noticin a mighty curus similarity between yo' and Daniel Webster, sah'
 "sYou don't say.' exclaimed the highly de- lighted law-maker. Is it my face?'

RECITALS SOUGHT
Commercial Club Directors
Favor Plan of No-Ad-
mittance-Fee Concert.

Plans for the utilization of the new
organ in the city convention
han to the fullest extent for the bene-
fit of the public were discussed yes
terday at the MONDAY meeting of the
board of directors of the commercial
club. II was announced that in the
near future, J. r.. w Lord, noted
organist from Meridian, Miss, would
be here and that a free Sunday after
noon concert was being planned at
which Mr. Lord would play.
The commercial club directors
thought well of the plan, and instruC-
ted its entertainment committee to
work with others interested in max
ing up fine program for some sun
day afternoon, the date to be ar
ranged later,
1t is hoped by many that this free
concert will be followed by the form
ing of a plan, that will result in hav-
ing free organ reCitals every sunday
afternoon, This plan has been fol-
lowed in other cities, such at Atlanta,
Pittsburgh, st. Paul and others and
is great success
II is the plan of those in charge OF
the coming concert to enlist the aid
of the churches of the city and to ar
range some sort of short program in
addition to the music. This concert
will give the people of the city and
especially those in moderate means a
chance to hear the splendid instru-
mcnt, as all previous concerts have
been pay affairs. 1t is probable that
at this concert a silver free offering
will be taken up To pay the expenses
of the concert.
