The Coming Auction Of Lots.

The coming auction of Murray Hill
lots advertised by Mr.. George T. Mel
vim to come off in November is one of
the most important city events that
has occurred for some months. No
such opportunity has heretofore been
presented to our citizens of bidding
on the same day upon a like number of
eligible buildingslots. All these lots
are located within the city limits and
probably several hundred lots will
be open for competitive bidding
at this great auction sale. The
terms of sale are such that all can buy,
and by purchasing several lots those
building can in a measure share in the
rise in value which their own improve
ments will bring to the adjacent pro-
perty. Considering the comparatively
low rate at which Murray Hill lots
have been selling these lots are very
desirable Investments. Buyers cannot
go astray in bidding freely and buying
literally. The iIstalment terms up
en- which they are offered are so very
liberal that those who really desire
homes in this very desirable aud con-
venient part of the city can readily
obtain them. Don't miss this chance
of securing some of these valuable
Murray Hill building lots.

The rescue was effected by Capt Ham.

of the steamship Missouri, OF the Allan

Baltimore. The incident created spon-
taneous and worldwide renown for the
brave English skipper and his men, which
tried their pride fearfully, but the good
seamen were left after the deluge of adj
miration the same unaffected and modest
men they were before they had become

The great painting is by the English
artist John NJ. Henry, fellow of the
Royal Academy, who has succeeded in
raising his work from the mere portrait
ture of an incident to the rank of his
torical picture. The picture has already
been reproduced in black and white by
one of the admirable processes eXtant,
and so, has in detail become already
somewhat familiar. A look at the origi-
nal, however. is required to fall into
communion with the painter and TO live
for time with him in the phase of feel

surrounds his creation.
