LOVE FAILED
AFTER YEARS
OF WAITING

MOLINARA, Italy, Feb. 7 UR)-
Maria did not wait.
A cherished delusion of 25 years
was cruelty shattered today for
Michelangelo Gentilcore, eX-con-
vict who returned from America a
free man to wed his childhood
sweetheart, only to find that long
ago she had married another.
Gentilcore, now As. spent the last
% years in a Minnesota peniten-
tiary for the murder of a man he
killed in a quarrel over money.
Maria Delando, his young sweet
heart, promised tearfully to wait
for him when he boarded the ship
as an immigrant for America 25
years ago.
During all his time in the peni-
tentiary, he received a letter from
her every month, telling him she
was still waiting.
Gentilcore arrived here on his
eager search, only to find Maria a
matron OF years standing. The let
ters had all been faxed, probably
written at her request to cheer
him up in prison.
Gentilcore, beWildered and hard
ly understanding, moped at the
home of his uncle, uncertain how
to pick up the threads OF his life.

Beynon Back
From Meeting
Of Managers

Great improvement in business as
evidenced by the annual report OF
the Metropolitan Life Insurance
company is cited by Guy G. Beynon,
of this city who has just returned
from the annual convention OF
managers held January 81, Febru-
ary l and 2 in New York City.
Some 300 managers from all parts
of the country were present at this
convention. Highlights of the an
nual report, says Beynon, include
the following.
The company has increased its
assets since last year by S170,000,-
600, the assets now being over four
billion dollars. Demands for policy
loans have been greatly reduced
during the past year, scaling down
to pre-depression values. The de-
mand for surrender values has de-
creased considerably also. The in
crease on outstanding policy loans
for 1884 was less than $7000,000 as
compared to S23,000,000 in 1888 and
S78,325,O00 in 1882. a picture in it
self, states BeynOn, OF the course OF
the depression.
The local manager reports that
the weather was very cold in New
York, and that while there he not
only enjoyed the business meetings
but the shows and others forms OF
entertainment offered visitors

As Indianapolis became hotter
and hotter today, it came closer and
closer to relieving showers that may
