CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo., April 20.—A golden key made from ores of the Crip- ple Creek camp will be the district’s gift to President McKinley on his visit to this city. The whole district, regardless of party, will turn out to do honor to the President. At a meeting last night Mayor Crane appointed a committee to collect from all of the mines in the camp sylvan- ite, the richest ore found, which will be smelted and the gold molded into a mas- sive key. | dence and the menu will consist of rare Mexican dishes. Some members of President Diaz’s Cabi- net are expected here to receive the Presi- dent, but it is not yet known who are coming. PRESIDENT’S STOP IN NEW ORLEANS He WIill Be Given a Spe- cial Welcome by the Colored People of City NEW ORLEANS, April 20.—The pro- gramme for the reception of President Mc- Kinley and party is complete. The train is expected Wednesday afternoon and will be met by a military and civic parade, which will escort the visitors to the St. Charles Hotel, where there will be a ban- quet in the evening, Thursday morning there will be a car- riage ride to points of interest, including “I am very glad not only to meet the people of the city of Lynchburg, but to be presented by your distinguished Senator. 1t is not a matter of public interest but one of pure personal recollection that the first time 1 ever tried to come to Lynchburg I did not stay. (Laughter.) “I came here with a number of other gentlemen who sought entrance, but the gates were closed. (Laughter.) We could not open them and you would not (ap- plause) and so we departed to seek an- other host, if not more hospitable, less formidable than the one that greeted us here. (Laughter.) Itis a happy time for me to visit Lynchburg now, the war over, no exchange of greeting with shot and shell as then, but with the friendly wel- come of all the people, which typifies the respect and regard and good will which subsists between all sections of our com- mon country.” El Paso’s Reception.

At some of these towns he will stop but five minutes; at others more favored he will stop for ten or even twelve minutes, and others again will have half hours and hours; and there are others, too, that wil catch only the shrill whistle of the train and the flash of its brilliant | cars as they whizz by, and the cloud of | dust whirling behind. But all the same | the town that will have but five minutes or more, and the shorter the time the more the town hopes td crowd into it. There will be great examples of hurry- up welcomes and highi pressure greetings in California for the days of the Presl- dent’s stay, for every effort will be made to adhere strictly to the time table that has been submitted to McKinley and ap- proved by him. The rain will be given a clear track for miles ahead and the right of way over everything that runs on wheels, so there is no reason just now apparent why the schedule should not be carried out.

VENTURA WILL GREET McKINLEY Drive Along the Beach Will Give Him the First Glimpse. of the Pacific VENTURA, April 20.—President McKin- ley and party will be entertained in a most delightful manner when he visits Ventura-by-the -sea Friday morning, May 10. The Presidential party will spend one hour in this city. The Board of Trade, assisted by Senator Thomas R. Bard, is busily engaged in making preparations for this event. It is proposed to make the stay in Ven- tura a memoratle part of the trip to the West. It is in Ventura that the distin- guished guests will obtain their first view of the mighty Pacific Ocean and an im- portant feature will be a ride along the beach. The programme as now made, which has the official approval of Secretary Cortel- you, is as follows: The reception committee, of which Sen- ator Thomas R. Bard is the chairman, will meet the Presidential party at the Southern Pacific depot. The carriages will proceed up Kalorama street to Main, thence to the old Mission. From the Mis- sion the conveyances will return by differ- ent routes to the depot. Some will go up Ventura avenue, where there are many beautiful homsas, and back; others along Poli street, and others by way of the beach. On the morning of May 10 the tide will be at low ebb. The Native Daughters, under the direc- tion of Mrs. Cora B. Sifford, junior past grand president of the Native Daughters, will decorate the carriages elaborately. The city, especially along the route of the parade,will presenta beautiful appearance. A pleasing feature will be the mammoth arch, to be erected on Main street, near Fir. It is proposed that the pillars of the arch be made cf walnuts and beans, sur- mounted by oranges, typical products of the county. Floral gates, hung between the pillars, will be emblematic of the gates of the city, and as the carriages contalning the President and party ap- | is as enthusiastic as those with a day | where they will be taken back to | TOWNS ON THE WAY PREPARING TO GIVE FULSOME GREETINGS Regardless of Whether the Stop Will Be for Five Minutes or for Five Days Every- where Enthusiasm Is at Highest Pitch Nor Money Is Spared proach these will be thrown open. A Pres- idential salute will be fired on the arrival of the President. The school children of the county, num- bering several thousand, will be here. Two blocks will be reserved for the children and their teachers. Each pupil will be provided with a small flag and bouquets of flowers, which will be strewn in front of the President’s carriage. A novel feature will be the Forest Re- serve Rangers in fuil bled on the sidewalk. has been assigued a place on California street for these men. The students of the Casa de Pledra School will participate. The fraternal orsanizations have also been invited. Every person will wear a carnation, the President's flower. The population of Ventura County will be out en masse. STOCKTON WILL HAVE A NOVELTY It Will Shov:he President Whata Harvester Looks Like While at Work STOCKTON, April 29.—When President McKinley and his distinguished party vis- its Stockton during his swing around the circle the tourists will be given an op- portunity to see at least one item out of the ordinary in the way of entertainment. To this end it is proposed to have a large combined harvester drawn by a big trac- tion engine in full operation at some point in the suburbs of the city. If the harvest is advanced there is one point just outside of the city where tlie big outfit, similar to those used on the big wheat farms, can be put in full operation, and if no threshing cam be done the ma- chinery will be put in full motion any- how. It is figured that the Eastern states- men will appreciate this scene. As the two hours to be spent here are too brief a time for any elaborate entertainment an endeavor will be made to make the short visit as interesting as possible. There will be no public reception and all of the people will be given a chance to see the chief magistrate during his drive over a fixed route. The school children of the city will be drawn up in the three public parks and will salute the Pre: dent with the national anthems. The city is already bestirring itself in anticipation of the visit. No general decorations will be attempted, but an additional $1000 has been appropriated to put the streets in a cleanly condition. The city officials and the Chamber of Commerce will co-operate in the enter- tainment. The preliminary work is al- ready being done and the full programme will be announced next week.

DOLAN FAMILY EVICTED FROM MISERABLE HOVEL Officers Find Mother Intoxicated and Children in Terrible Condition of Uncleanliness. The family of Mike Dolan, consisting of a wife and six children, was evicted from the miserable dwelling at 33 Victor street vesterday aftcincon. The father was ab- Sent cn one of bis daily sprees, and the other members ef his family were lying around outside the house when the c was reported to Secretary White of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. Mr. White at once took steps to care for the children, the eldest of whom is 4 years of age and the youngest an infant in arms. The mother was intoxicated, and when told that she was to be separat- ed from her children she exhibited no con- cern except for the baby whick she rathe preferred to keep. She admitted that <h ad no place in which to spend the night. but she guessed that she could take care of the child, which was recovering from an attack of the measles. One child was wallowing in the refuse beneath the house and another, alarmed at the presence of the strangers, fled and could not be found afterward. The unnatural mother was taken shriek- ing to the police station, surrounded by her walling children. The neighbors say that the Dolans are intoxicated wnenever they have money, and that the chkildren are allowed to run wild. Last December the woman was treated at the hospital for a broken les as a result of a fight with her husband. She was also blind for two weeks from the effects of a kick said to have been administered by Dolan in another con- flict. Secretary White will aj ler‘!::' let- ters of guardianship for the c
