New York City has an internal row
O., han,i far more intense for those con-
eerned than any political question. The
Public Service Commission recommends
following the example of Chicago in the
construction of freight subways which
viii relieve the congested streets. This
mas aroused the truckmen, very large
and powerful interest, and the fight
opened with the truckmen attempting
to prevent the hearing at the meeting
where the system was to be discussed.

The lst Me. Cav.

Editor National Tribune: VIII you
kindly give me a history of the 1st Me.
Cav, also 1st and I'd d. C. Cav.,-as
these three regiments had a strong
connecting link between them?- F.
Harris, Medford, Wis.
The 1st Me. Cav. was organized at
Augusta Nov. 5, 1861, and the organl
lz2tion, composed of veterans and re-
cruits, mustered out Aug. 1, 1865. 1t
was commanded by Coils. John God
dard. Samuel H Allen, Calvin s. DoutT
and ChaS. II. Smith in succession The
regiment sustained the heaviest loss,
killed in action, of any cavalry regiment
in the entire army. Many of its men,
bers We're captured while on outpost
duty, foraging o. raiding, and of these
145 died in Confederate prisons. Col
Douty was killed while leading sue
eeSsful charge at Aldie, Va At Mary's
Church the regiment made desperate
fight. losing 10 officers and Sc men
killed, wounded and missing out of 260
engagef- At Cat Tail Run, March 81,
1865. it sustained its heaviest loss. In
September, 1854. the 1st D. c. Cav was
consolidated with it, bringing its num-
bers up to 1890 men. 1t belonged to
Gregg's Division, Cavalry Corps, and,
lost 174 killed and 344 from disease,
etc. 1t took part in 36 battles
Four companies of the 1st D. C. Cav.
Were organized at Washington, D. c.,
from June to December. 1863, and the
remaining companies at Augusta, Me-,
from January to March, 1864 Cos. D,
F. G, FL, 1, K. l. and NJ were transferred
to the 1st Me. Cav. Aug. 81. 1864, and
the remaining force consolidated into
battalion of two companies Feb. s.
1865, and mustered out Oct 26, 1866.
1t was commanded by Col. Lafayette
C. Baker. who was promoted April 26,
1865, to rigadier-General, and at the

comrade who does not want his
name mentioned for the present, but
is in a position to know whereof he
speaks, insists that there is strong rea-
son for searching investigation of the
condition OF things in the Soldiers
Homes. He has had long experience
as an officer of prisons, and ne is quite
sure that the management of the
Homes is below that usually found in
the principal prisons of the country.
He says that the Governors are not
wholly to blame for this, since they
depend too much upon the reports of
their subordinates, who, of course, want
to make everything appear entirely
lovely. The Governors of the Homes
and their subordinates have been hav-
ing entirely too much freedom from
criticism and investigation. 1t is not
well for any institution to be allowed
to be run precisely as those in control
wish. All institutions. and especially
charitable ones. require constant su-
peryision and criticism from those out
side Of their management, and this the
Soldiers Homes have not had.

Women are usually denied a sense of
humor, but Mrs. Bessie Reynolds, who
died at Caddo Gap, Ark, at the age of
80 years, must have been a practical
joker of the finest type. Doubtless the
town Is as full as other Arkansas places
are of gentlemen who dislike to work
between meals, but prefer to sit on
dry goods box, whittle and save the
country. In Mrs. Reynolds's will she
announced that she had buried $4,000
in various places about the town, and
that whoever found it could have it. As
result there has been more industry
! in Caddo Gap than ever before in its
history, and men whose hands have
for years known scarcely anything
more difficult than a pack of cards or a
knife and fork have been blistering
them with the humble and laborious
spade. The fever has been kept going
by the discovery of $500 in gold in one
place and 5000 in bills In another.
Caddo Gap is to-day probably the best
spaded town plat in the United States,
and IL the people will take advantage
of their thoro work to SOW seed they
may realize crop which will be a
consolation purse for those who have
not succeeded in finding anything.

of the great Bryan meeting at Madison

so by surprise that nobody seems TO

Such authorities as Admiral George
Dewey and Rear-Admirals Schley and
Evans give an efficient answer to the
critics of our men-of-war- They un-
hesitatingly pronounce the new ships
South Carolina, Michigan and North
Dakota, to be equal in value to any
battleships of their size in the world
and that the fleet of ships now going
around the world, while of older pat
tern and many of which have lived
more than half the life of their class
are everywhere seen to be quite equal
TO anything afioat of other navies. We
must assume that the Admirals knew
what they We're talking about better
than the gentry who are most yocifer-

The city of Bay Point, on Suisun
bay. springs into prominence with a
surety Of a great future as no other
California city dare claim precedent.
Not by any terrible calamity, as the
heading of this article might suggest,
but by a succession of gigantic under
takings now startling the real estate
world, which have been going on in
apparent secrecy.
When we make known TO the people
Of California the existence of an en-
terprise which means as much to the
state CT California as ii does to her
people-tO the whole United States, for
that matter-many will realize their
ambitions.
AS you read these articles as they
appear from day 70 day you will learn
some things about real estate you never
knew before and ought to know now.
When we tell you Of our enterprise,
which is unequaled on the Pacific
coast, you will know why California
will rival her sister states throughout
the union in this present generation.
When we tell you where the wise
ones are oiling the real estate machin-
cry which has already nodded many
fortunes, and show you, then you can
thank US for printing these articles,
which means much to us and more to
you and viii eliminate in the most ex-
traordsnary announcement OF real es-
tate development of modern times.
We have in preparation an enormous
edition Of the most effective and inter-
esting folders ever before published on
any property, here or anywhere.
II viii be your gain to follow these
articles closely; but If you are impa-
tient and don't want to wait for our
formal announcement there is nothing
to prevent you coming in at any time
and ask US questions.
Our proposition is unvarnished and
clean for real men who know advan-
tages when they see them, and who
know the difference between a silver
dollar and a $40 gold piece without
comparing them.
Should the dollar drawing power lie
in the property advertised or IN the
advertisement Of the property? Think
that over once or twice.

How to Eliminate the Feeling of

One Way to Determine Good Real

We made the statement yesterday
Should the dollar drawing power lie in

vertisement of the propertyT
The man who invests in real estate
without investigating: First-whether
the facts laid before him are truths;
second-whether a property is a mere
scheme to separate man from money.
and third-to satisfy yourself that the
property has not alone possibilities of
a future, but ferret out the proof of a
surety that will warrant an investment
You can rid yourself of all feeling Of
uncertainty in future real estate in
vestments by taking the proposition by
the throat and choking the truth out
Of 1T in man fashioned manner.
Truth is the soul of enterprise; but
how many lot owners today can get
the moneys back they have paid for
their holdings? Say nothing about
profits.
If lots are worth what the owners
ask-if they are as valuable as their
claims-why do they. IL you desire to
sell, refuse to buy back at your pur-
chase price?
There should be no pity for a cheat,
and the man who falsifes to sell real
estate is a thief, and the man who
cheats himself lis a fool.
This is plain talk-but honest

COMING EVENTS CAST

Public Demand Information About
the Coming City Of California

The demands pouring in upon US for
full particulars regarding our property
in advance of our formal announcement
is evidence that there are thousands
of people today who are anxious to
invest in property that is property
property shorn of all fictitious values.
We ask all to be patient
Firm in the belief that the people Of
California are aware Of the fact when
they meet the truth face to face, We
would not make a false statement, be
it ever so profitable to ourselves, be-
cause we never have made money at
the expense of the other fellow" and
never intend to.
Yesterday we said, I'VE will convince
you with hard steel facts in our formal
announcement that we possess prop
erty-a city that will command the at
tention of every honest and honorable
man and woman who has a dollar and
wants more. We will prove TO you
the existence of a city where fortunes
are being made without working hon.
est people, but by working the prop
erty.
Our property is a strong, sure, solid
and honest proposition. and so good we
shy from the theory that there is a fool
born every minute.
In every good town. and in the coun-
try, there are honest people who have
invested part or all of their savings
in real estate which they considered
a golden opportunity on the promises
of enormous profits on their invest
ments. Many have realized their mis-
takes-others are living in hopes. con-
