Why She Didn't Vote.

Massachusetts women can vote if they choose for members of the local school boards. Some choose and some do not, and some of the reasons why some of the ladies do not are instruct i've. A young bride who has been liy- ing only @ few months in small man ufacturing town in the Bay State was excited and delighted when told she might vote. She had lived in Rhode Is land, where no such privilege prevailed. It happened, though, that, although young. she was still couple of months older than her husband, and when, with q pretty air of importance, she went to Che registry office she was dumfounded when she was formally asked her age.
 But want to yote-just vote, she pleaded
 But my dear Mrs. R." said the registry clerk-who was in her hus- bands employ all the ladies do, and why should you care of all ladies?"
 Well, l won t. So thereR And she futtcred indignantly away. Her has- band told me this story with great de light, which I thought shabby of him. New ! ork Press.

rhn l,entncl,x Kind of Woman.

Mrs. ". |. McPhearson, wife of our town marshal, was passing the skirt of D wood Q few days ago and was con froGted by rattlesnake immediately in her pathway. His snakeship instinctiye- ly gave the usual signal warning with his rattles coiled himself up and ole- vated his head preparatory to battle. The brave little woman, instead of screaming like wildcat and fainting away, as many women do when they see t mouse on the fioor, seized the first weapon she could lay her hands OH and opened the battle and soon dispatched the brute. She then deliberately tool; out her pocketknife, and as deXterously as q skilled hunter would skin 8 deer took off his hide and brought 1t home with her and stuffed it with bran, and now has it on exhibition at her resi- dence. The snake was of the yellow spe- oies, measured nearly feet in longth and had nine rattles and button. -Ha- gel Green (Ey.) Herald.

The Summer Baby.

What can be done to increase the ba- bias summer comfort and their lffe's $ safety at the same time. which would net cost a fortune to carry out? A well known physician gives the answer, ..Tal1e off their clothes Let the little tots run about tn q single garment, keeping them indoors i'll the middle of the day and at that time permitting them to play in darkened room or per suading them to indulge i'll refreshing nap. The burden of starched clothes wears out the lifo of many child of all overneat mother, while the children of the very poor, in their tenements and steaming alleys have no respite from the intolerable heat of their surround ines other than to get rid of as many as possible of the dirty clothes that are the surest means of transmitting disease as well as sapping the strength of the un- happy little one who is forced to carry their weight from morning until night.

CONVICTSTALEOF CRUELTY
The Guards at Camp No. 1 Charged
With Brutality Beating a Prisoner.

George Bunge Shows Ugly Wounds
Which He Says He Received There.
The City Court Grand Jury Investi-
eating the Charges-Bungs Says He
Was Beaten Because He Was a
Dutchman.
There is some excitement among por-
ton Of the German population here at
what appears TO be outrageous treatment
Of a young German named George Bunge,
at county convict camp No. /, where he
was sent on a charge Of vagrancy.
Bunge came to Savannah from River
side, n. j., about the middle of January.
He was arrest ted along witha lotof trampsS
He could not speak a word of English,
and could not show the court any reason
why he should not be sentenced as
vagraut. He was fined S25 and costs, and,
in default of the fine, to serve three
months on the chain-gang.
a few days ago Bunge received a check
from r. G. C. Bielinski of Riverside, N.
j., for $40. He was told that he could
pay his fine which was $25 or could serve
out the rest of his sentence and take all
his money He decided to pay the fine
aud retained SO Of the money sent him.
The solicitor general told him he would
remit the costs of court. There is no law
by which his fine could be reduced and no
power to reduce it except the
governor. Bunge was taken before
the grand jury Of the city court yes
terday afternoon by A. Goss to exhibit
the results of his treatment at the camp,
which appears to have been severe
There were huge sores on his legs and
feet where the shaCkles had been put on
him, and he said that his back was Gov
cred with whelts and sores from the
whippings which he had been given. To
all appearances he had been badly
treated though it is not known just eX-
actly what is the cause of the
sores on his legs, which seem
rather UlcerOus. GOss and several other
Germans who are taking an interest, say
they are going to have the matter investi-
gated to the bottom, and that they will
prosecute the responsible parties. The
investigation before the grand jury viii
continue at its next meeting. Bunge, not
being able TO speak English, his state
ment was received yesterday through an
interpreter He said he was not allowed to
60 into tie hospital al the camp, and was
whipped for nothing except that he was a
"Dutchman.' 1t is believed that his
statements are somewhat exaggerated.
In view of their character, however, the
grand jury has determined to give the
matter the fullest investigation. The
matter was brought before it yesterday
by Judge MacDOnell

A Great Record.

The Mutual Life Insurance Company of
New York celebrated the fftieth year of
its existence in 1898, and the event will be
memorable as being one of the most sue
cessful in business point of view that
the company has ever experienced.
The report of 1898 demonstrates the in
creasing popularity of The Mutual Life
and the extension of the benefits con
ferred upon those fortunate enough
to hold its policies. The assets now
amount in the aggregate to SlS6, 1O7, $50 IA.
and the liabilities to Sl6S, 755, OIL 80 The
surplus fund for the payment of divi-
dends and to insure the policy-holder
against every possible future emergency
amounts to Sl7, 49,, 6OS.9l and is a sum
which if added to the enormous amount
paid out in dividends to policy holders in
past years would largely exceed the sur
plus Accommodations of any similar institu-
ton in the world.
During 1893 the policy-holders in The
Mutual Life Insurance Company re
ceived $50, SIS, 412.40, against $40, $50, 532 46
in 1892. The Mutual Life has now poll
cies in force insuring $500, 2S4. 73S. 46.

TOURISTS TURNING NORTH.
Savannah viii Be Crowded With
Them From NOW on.

@-AGAAA 4 IDAA4 ~ =" OAAs
The tide Of Florida tourist travel is now
at its turn. The trains from the south
are crowded with tourists on their way
home and 80 per cent. Of this travel stops
in Savannah for a wee. or more.
Night before last every room at the Pu-
lash was taken and the DeSOto had 142
arrivals for the day. The average daily
arrivals at the DeSot0 are now over the
century mark and for some time there
have been over 500 guests At the hotel.
Messrs Watson x Powers are highly
pleased with this season S business, which
IS far ahead Of any pre- .ious year
The great crowds from the Hotel Royal
Poinciana, Tampa Bay and St. Augustine
are rapidly leaving for cooler climate.
The capacity Of the De Soto will be tested
as result Of this exodus, and the propri-
etors expect to be compelled 10 put up
cots in the next two weeks.
Savannah will be filled with tourists
until the middle of April, or even later.
The discrimination against Savannah by
the railroads IS being done away with.
Messrs. Watson & Powers eXerted every
effort to have the railroads allow an ex-
tension of the l5-day tickets, and sue
ceedlng IN this, they now entertain nun
dreds OF tourists for any length of stay
while in the past the tickets were of such
an lron-clad nature the tourist was not
allowed TO remain over but limited num-
Der of days
The new Hotel Royal POinciana at Lake
Worth has over 600 guests. The big
Tampa Bay hotel and the hotels at Rock
ledge are all full. Travel for some weeks
TO come will be brisk, and the hotels in
savannah will be crowded.
The Florida tourists are beginning to
move north rapidly said Mr.. J. NJ. La
motto, passenger agent Of the Savannah
Florida and Western railway Florida
seems 10 be getting too warm for them
and they are commencing 10 go back
north. The vesUbgled limited is
crowded almost 10 its limit every
day now, and apartments are
engaged by parties almost two
weeks in advance The train has almost
everything taken up to March Is. A
great many of the tourists take advantage
of their stOp-over privileges on their re
turn, and there are from 10 TO 100 arrivals
from Florida at the De Soto every day
now.
There are not near so many tourists
in Florida as there have been in previous
years, but the exodus from the hotels
there has just begun now and it will keep
up. The vestibuled train will do a good
business up to the time it is taken OF,
which will be about May /.

A CoUNTRYmAN FE1eNs SUICIDE
He Creates a Sensation at the Market
and is Locked Up.

a young countryman named Jacob Mill
iken. armed with a couple OF bottles of
whisky and pair of reviewers, created a
sensation yesterday afternoon By feigniug
suicide and attempting to blow the roof
of the market OF
Milliken is from Jesup and had been
loading up on Savannah whisky for day
or two. He was in a tit condition yester-
day afternoon to do most anything
His intention appears 10 have been
TO attract attention to himself by pre-
tended effort at suicide.
About 40 o'clock Gatekeeper Tullis Of
the Electric railway, who is stationed in
the market, noticed q young man walk
into the east door of the market up the
Electric railway track. He turned 10
stopped. Mr.. Tullis noticed that the man
was shabbily dressed and had wild look.
He stopped and held up quart bottle Of
whisky as if about to take a drink.
THAT fellow is about to have good
drink, " remarked the Waterman TO him
self MlIllken RECONSTRUCTED, however. and
lowering the bottle, held up pistol in
stead, which he raised above his head,
and then brought slowly down until il
aimed directly at Mr.. Tullis. The latter
rose from his seat, and as he did Mlllken
let his hand drop and walked a few steps
further among the stalls. The gate keeper
watched him raise the pistol up to the
side of his head and fire Three shots
followed in rapid succession. Milliken
fell back upon the floor as if dead.
The shots attracted a large crowd and
in a few minutes the market was filled
with people. 1t was thought, OF course.
that the man had killed himself but an
examination showed that he was dnhurt.
Milliken appeared to be in a kind of mt,
and was taken to the police barracks in
the ambulance. Among the crowd that
gathered, attracted by the shooting, was
an uncle of Millikon, who said his
nephew was subject to epileptic fits lie
said Milliken was a detective at Jesup,
and had killed a negro some time ago
while trying to make an arrest. When
he was searched at the barracks two
Smith \ Wesson reyolvers. quart bottle
of Bakers xxx whisky and a half
pint of some other brand Of whisky were
found on him. He was placed in a cell
and a charge of drunk and disorderly
conduct and firing a pistol in the market
was entered against him. The nearest
that Milliken came TO iuiuring himself
was powder burn on his hat.

THE FIGHTERS INDICTED.
The Grand Jury Says silverthorn and
Duffy Violated the Law.

The Grand jury Says Silverthorn and
Duffy Violated the Law.
The matter of the recent glove contest
between Thomas Silverthorn and James
Duffy, which was held at Thunderbolt,
was taken up at the last meeting of the
grand jury, and all the evidence in the
case presented by the solicitor general.
In addition TO the evidence in connec-
ton with the contest itself. the solicitor
general laid before the grand jury a COPY
of Attorney General j. M. Terrell's opin-
ion with regard to the law in connection
with prize fighting and glove contests in
the state, rendered at the time GOV Nor
then made prepare tons to keep the
Corbett-MitchcQ contest off of Georgia
soil. The attorney general, IL will be re-
membered, decided that there was law
enough on the sub ect in the state, and
brought the otfenso practically under the
head of assault and battery.
Several witnesses were summoned be-
fore the grand jury and testified as to
the nature of the Thunderbolt contest
and as to how far it went. The grand
jury decided that the contestants were
guilty of assault and battery and bills
were found against them by special
presentment.
1t is believed at the time the indict-
mCnts were found that Silverhotn was
still in the city but it has been subse-
quently learned that. both he and Duffy
have left the state 1t is question as to
whether any effort will be made to have
them brought back for trial The solici-
tor general is satisfied on one point, how
ever. He has the decision of grand
jury In the matter and if any more such
contests or fights are attempted on Chat
ham county soil, and are carried as far
as this one was, he says arrests will be
made at once without waiting to see what
another grand jury will do in the matter.
