ON HER BIRTHDAY.
Olivia Larsen's Death From Coal
Gas AsphyXiatiOn.

Olivia Larsen, Swedish girl, was found
dead in a room at the Castleton House, 2O7
Mason street, at 80 o'clock yesterday
morning. The cause Of death was asphyxi-
alton, and it was probably due 10 her ig-
nOrance Of the use Of coal gas.
She arrived from Sweden last week, and
by the aid Of her brother Matthew obtained
employment at the Castleton House, and
went TO work on Monday. The odor of gas
attracted attention to her room yesterday
morning, and when the door was forced
it was discovered that the gas was escaping
from a burner that was turned on full. DR..
j. j. Riley reported the case to the Coroner,
who decided not to hold an inquest. because
It was evident that death was accidental.
Had Miss Larsen lived she would have
been 20 years old yesterday. 1t is a coinci-
dence that she died on the morning of the
anniversary OF her birth. Her brother had
often cautioned neT, by letter, in reference
to the use of gas It is believed that she
turned the gas on after turning it off.

Preparations Made for "A Grand Excursion

The Veteran Firemen met last evening in

tons were read from The Exempt and Vet
eran fremen's associations Of Portland,
Oregon, in relation to the proposed excur-
sion from this city, which will leave on Sun
day, June 2Sth, by steamer. These letters
contained special invitations from the peo-
pie of Portland, who have built an engine
house to be used for the old engine that will
be taken from this city by the visiting vet
Grams. The Committee of Arrangements
have proposed an elaborate programme, and
the Mayor of Portland will tender the Cali
fornia visitors the freedom Of the city.
From present indications the number that
will join the excursion will not be short of
one hundred, judging by the way the mem
bers are paying their assessments.
After this trip is finished the veterans OF
San Francisco intend TO begin elaborate
preparations for All extended trip to Chicago
and TO every Eastern city where there is an
association OF veterans.
The association was presented last even

SUPPORT HOME INDUSTRY.

"The truly wise man knows that the way to in
crease our circulating medium. and make every
business prosperous. is to keep here all the money
spend, and bring in a few dollars from other sec
tionS; but 1t is fact that people content
unless they can send away about all the money pro-
duced by our mines and all the surplus received Tor
our fruits, our wheat and other products. The pol
icy Is shOrtsIghted! 1t is wOrse 1t is taking the
br cad from the mouths of wage-earners here 1t is
sending money away all the time which. II spent
for goods manufactured here, would find its way
back into our own pockets
Now, the Journal Of Commerce would be glad to
induce at least one person TO change this policy.
TO that end it calls the attention of shirt buyers TO
the Standard White Shirt Mandatory. owned by
NeuStadter Brothers OF the south west corner OF
SansOme and Pine streets. They have got to build
up trade upon merit. They must rely mainly upon
the people among whom they live for profits, and
they are sure 10 furnish better article than be
bought In the East for the same money. That Is
common sense, which is also good business sense.
So, IL the purchaser possesses patriotism and no
desire to help the wage-earners in holding employ
ment, he should buy the best, and especially when
he IS helping to in the circulating IN edium of
his own section. BY patronizing this home enter
prise he accOmpiisheS all these beneficial results.
and gets article which will give him eminent
satisfaction from the day OF its purchase until there
Is nothing left OF IL TO admire"
