tax on commercial travelers; to secure recognition
from railroads and obtain as favorable terms on
transportation and baggage as are given to any other
class of travelers and to adjust all differences be-
tween railroads and commercial travelers on a fair,
equitable business basis ; to secure hotel accommo-
dations com monsurate with the prices paid and to
adjust complaints against hotels or by them against
commercial travelers; to elevate the social and
moral character of commercial travelers as a pro-
fession, to bring about the better acquaintance of
members and to provide pleasant, social amusement
and entertainment to our members on the road.

first trunk line to recognize the association. A tel-
egivnu was received from 0. P. Pindell, the National
President ot the Association, at Xenia, O , congrat-
ulating the new post and declaring the prospects of

I trust your Music TRADE REVIEW will meet with
unbounded success, as its worth and merit certainly
warrant it.
THE new catalogue of Story & Clark, Chicago, Is
complete in every particular, and—like the organ
manufactured by the firm -is first-class. Story &
Clark claim in this catalogue that they hold twenty-
one improvements on their organ above other
makes, which are protected either by letters patent
of the United States already issued or by applica-
tions filed. One of the most noteworthy of these
improvements is the new Clark metal stop knob.
It does not differ particularly in form from the old
wooden knob, but adds very materially to the beauty
of the organ. It is made of suitable metal and
highly polished. This knob is now used on all Story
& Clark organs.
