The flg- .urcs are the same in the aggregate as heretofore published, but we now have the population of each ward. This is the telegram: Washington, D. C., April 21th. 1011. A. P.

A Gentleman’s Haberdasher It's the natty little “Fixings” that lend grace and elegance to the summer man's apparel, nobby shirts, ties, pretty hosiery, with a dainty line of underwear. To look and feel “summery” is an easy, matter to a man who trades here. No matter what a man’s size is, or what his taste may be, we can fit him in suits. H. C.

Mr. ‘ Butler also sang “The Ninety and f Nine," in a manner that will not lie 1 foigotten. Mr. Phillips preached a . fine sermon.

He then Invited all who had joined the church during the meeting to come to tho front and have a hand shaking. It was an inspiring sight, (seventy- six having joined the church), as they moved to the front and formed a great circle across the church ana the con congregation slowly moved around and bid thorn all a hearty welcome.

Sev eral times since have those “23” been vindicated hut never more signally tr.nn when the House organized the other day. The Associated Press did not cover this question as fully as it might have done at the time, but tho Con cessional Record i sat hand, giving the particulars. It is seen that the Mutton offered by Mr. Mann, tho Republican leader, as a substitute for tho Democratic Codo of Rules Is the Iddentical Clark resolution, word for word, that waB offered March 19, 1909, and against which the twenty- three voted. On Tuesday, April 4th, tho entire Democratic membership joined the twenty-three In defeating (be resolution. Another interesting fact Is that what are known as the Fitzgerald amendments that the twenty-threo were criticised for, because they sup-« ported them, were incorporated bod ily into the Code of Democratic Rul es. and thus their efficiency and ne cessity has been approved by the en tire party. These two facts are of interest. INVESTIGATING THE TELEGRAPH RATES Special To The Herald.
