Second Free Excursion to New York

Our first Free Excursion resulted so satis-
factorily to all concerned that We have de-
cided to run a second Pullman car excur-
sion on Sunday, May 4, to enable those who
desire to see our beautiful Brooklyn prop
critics to do so in the most convenient way.
AS on the previous excursion the party will
be met IN Brooklyn by our private parlor
trolley car, and will be shown through the
entire section which is now drawing the
attention of the most conservative investors
of the country. Those who join this excur-
sion must be bona-fide investigators with
a view to purchasing if all is found as rep
resented by us in our advertising matter.
This second excursion is partly to accom-
MEDIATE those who applied too late for the
first excursion; we can take limited num-
Der in addition to these. Owing to the
short time we have to arrange for this ex-
Cursion we must request that all who wish
u join apply in person. We cannot consider

KILLED SWEETHEART's FATHER.
Lover Had Been Refused Money to
Start Housekeeping.
(By Associated Press. }

Chicago, Feb. 24.--Angered because his
persistent demands for a dowry suffi-
cient to give him a start in housekeep-
ing were refused, and, seeking revenge
on the family of his sweetheart, George
Childrose, a stenographer, yesterday shot
and instantly killed Henry Meyerer, the
girls father, and slightly wounded EN-
ma Meyerer, her sister.
Her mother and another sister escaped
other shots intended for them by rushing
into the street.
Then, believing he had killed the en-
tire family, Childrose sent bullet
through his own brain and fell dead
at the door of his sweetheart's room.
The couple became engaged last Tues
day and the young man at once began
his demands that the father a retired
mechanic and inventor. furnish money
to start the couple in housekeeping. The
demands were so large and persistent
that paternal consent to the proposed
union was withdrawn.
When he was dismissed, Childrose
vowed to kill the whole family and the
tragedy followed last night.

WANT TIE MEDALS
YosEMITE's CREW BELIEVE THEY
SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED.
REPORT OF BOARD OF AWARDS
Officers and Men Of the Converted
Yacht Hope to Hold Up the Dis
tribution Until They Get
Their Dues.
Especial Correspondence, /,

Washington, Feb 24.--President Roose
welt has directed that the report Of the
board of awards recommending the
award Of West Indian campaign medals
to officers and men of the North Atlantic
fleet who participated in notable actions
during the war with Spain, be held uI
pending further consideration of the
claims Of the crew OF the auxiliary cruis-
er Yosemite.
The Yosemite is credited with having
taken part In an engagement with two
Spanish gunboats and her officers and
men, principally her men, believe that
their conduct should be recognized.
Among her crew were many wealthy
men from Michigan, and the entire state
congressional delegation and other influ-
ential persons have been applying pres
sure to induce the board of awards to
recommend that medals be awarded to
the amateur tars.
The board was not disposed to give
much attention to the claim OF the men
OF the Yosemite and Its report, submit
ted several weeks ago, ard made no
mention of them.
The president has received letters from
o. ''''o Va ScNtidl WeSteTI1 states ufR-
ing that the Yosemite's engagement pe
commemorated, and these have been re-
ferred to the board for its information.
The men Of the New York who were
on board that vessel during the engage
ment of the batteries at Matanzas and
the officers and men of the st. Paul who
participated in the battle with the Span
ish torpedo destroyer Terror, have also
filed claims for medals.
The new battleship Maine will be COM
pieted this fall, and applications are be-
ing received by the department from off,
GERS desirous of commanding her. The
name of Capt d. G. Sigsbee has been
mentioned in connection with the new
vessel.
1t Is pointed out that It would be fitting
that the last commander of the old
Maine should be the first to command
her successor in the American navy.

about so feet wide and the ore reserves
In the lower levels are simply wonderful.
One remarkable feature of the mine Is
the fact that the ore Is several units

producing mine on the hill. TO this may
be added the. statement that there is
now blocked out in the property ore
that will net not less than $l000o,OOO

1t Is the intention of the purchaser to
work the mine through the Neversweat,
which adjoins it on the east. Senator
Clark has had force of about 125 men
at work In and about the mine, and
while 1t may be that they Will not con-
uinue under the new management an
equal number. or probably m IRE will be
added to the Neversweat force and sent
into the workings as soon as the new
