RICHMOND, VA.


Mr.. F. W. Lawrence,
Saratoga Springs, N. Y.
Dear Sir:-I have dis
pensed the Excelsior Water
continually atmy counterfor
the past twenty years, and |
take pleasure in saying that
among the many mineral wa
ters that | handle there
is none that surpasses
the Excelsior" For it's
medical qualities it is all
that is claimed for it, and as
a refreshing and pleasant
beverage it has a decided pop
ularity with my customers.
The apparatus with little at
tention works perfectly salts
factorily and dispenses the
water with all it's natural gas
precisely the same as when
drunk at the Spring.

A MILLION DOLLAR FIRE
BIG BI-OCKS BURNED DOWN
IN lMINNEAPOL.Is.

One of Them was Fire Proof and
Belonged to Sol Smith Russell,
the ActOr-The Mercury Below
Zero.
MINNEAPoLIs, Mimi, Feb. 26.-A fire
that started in paint works on Fifth
street, last night at midnight, is still
raging and has proved to be the most
disastrous fire Minneapolis has exper-
fenced in years. The damage to
property may be nearly $1,000,00O.
most of whichis to the Lumber exchange,
magnificent twelve story block at Fifth
street and Hennepin avenue. The Rob
inson block and the Russell block, the
latter owned by Sol. Smith Russell, the
actor, are completely ruined.
The fire caught in the upper stories OF
the Lumber exchange which was claimed
to be fire proof, and burned 6ercely.
Water did not reach above the seventh
or eighth stories and the fremen were
nearly powerless.
St. Paul was called upon for aid and
responded with two engines. The ther-
mometer was below zero last night and
the intense cold hindered the frcmen a
great deal as the hose kept freezing and
nearly every time wheel would cross it
the hose burst.

Colorado Springs, Colo, the citizens
were prepared to give him a royal vel
come. This being the home of Mrs
Margaret Davis Hayes, the daughter OF
Jefferson Davis, the citizens of that
city, long before the arrival of the
president, had imbued her little six
year-old son Jeff with the idea that hs
was a president in embryo.
Like other ladies of the town, Mrs
Hayes put on her children their best
apparel and sent them out to see the
president. Jeff, whom the enterpris-
ing citizens of that little city had given
a conspicuous place in the reception of
president, was recognized and saluted
by Mrs. Mckee, Mr.. Wanamaker, and
other members of the distinguished
party, but received no mark Of recog.
milton from the president. At this neg
lect upon the part of the pation's ex'
