THE LYCEUMs SUBSCRIBERS.
The Executive Committee Anxious to
Increase the Number.


The Savannah Lyceum is receiving every
day one or more subscriptions to its course
of entertainments for next year. The ex-
ecutive committee has altogether so far
between $50 and 800 subscriptions assured.
Even this number will insure the success
of a course of entertainments of about the
same number and grade as that of the sea-
son just closed. but it is desired to do more
than this-to increase the number of en-
tertainments. and at the same time to raise
the standard.
The executive committee requests that
those who have received cards of invita-
ton and who intend to become subscrib-
ing members will send in their return
cards at once. Possibly many intend do
ing so, but have neglected it, This DELAY
Will count in the number and quality Of
entertainments given next season
Any who have not received cards will re-
ceive them upon application. 1t was in
tended to send to all who are Interested
1T is proposed to form a circuit of At
laRta, Augusta, Savannah, Jacksonville
and other southern cities, so that the best
talent on the American platform will come
this way.
Among others available for the coming
season are: Max O'Rell. Leland T. Pow
ers, Prof. W. II. Clark of the University
of Chicago, Robert J. Burdstt DR.. Kent
of the University of Virginia, f. HopIin-
son smith and George r. Vending
The committee, however, cannot sign
contracts for next season to the best adj
vantage until ii is known more definitely
just how many course tickets will be
placed.

PROTECT THE GRASS PLATs.
The City's order to Remove RniIings
Causes Much Criticism.

The order of the chairman of the street
and lane department TO remove fences
and ratings around the grass plats on the
paved streets was received yes
terday with much surprise by property
owners and others who have taken pains
to beautify the pIats in front of their
houses, and in doing so have been COM
PEELED TO fence them in with light wood
or wire ratings to keep people from run
ing across them and tramping down the
grass and making roadways across them
Alderman Gleason's reason for the or
der is that the fences and ratings are OBJ
structiOns and dangerous to people and to
horses. which may run away and get en-
tangled in the wires.
Nearly every one who has a grass plat
and who was spoken TO about the matter
considered the order very arbitrary one,
in view of the fact that the city takes so
little care to protect the plats from being
spoiled.
One gentleman, who has been endeavor-
ing to have a grass plat in front of his
house for several years and who has had to
use every effort almost to keep people
cows, dogs ana about everything that runs
loose in the street from running across 1t,
said, in speaking of the city's liability for
damage from any accident resulting from
people or animals being injured by the
why should any one be liable? What
right has the man or horse on the grass
plats? Are there not ordinances impos-
Why not remove the tree boxes, for fear
some unmanageable horse should injure
itself in It's wild cavortings. Now, just as
we see our plats being covered with YER
dure, which covering was only accomplish
ed by persistent endeavor and attention
on our part, we must remove all rail
ings and safeguards and throw them open
to the gamboling picanniny. And such be-
ing the case, 1t will not be long before the
plats appear like unto dirt roads more
than anything else. Surely they will
have a very unlawnny appearance. II
the authorities persist in their intention
to remove the ratings they should then
rigidly enforce the ordinance as to tres
passing on the plats. And the police
should use every endeavor to apprehend
violators of the ordinance"
The police say it is a difficult matter to
arrest parties for crossing the plats. Very
few ever attempt to cross when a police
man is in sight. good deal of the
prosecuting is done in the night. An
arrest is occasionally made, but that does
not stop it, the. police say. Hereafter,
though, all parties caught crossing the
squares and plats will be arrested and
made an example of. If this is done, as
the police say It will be, the plats will be
an ornament to the city, instead of be-
ing trampled spots, with little grass and
paths cut across them In every direction.

HE WAS ONLY A MONKEY.
But He Had n History That Made
Him Interesting.

The citizens and visitors at Isle of
Hope, especially those of tender age, will
learn with regret of the death of Sea
man." Mr.. A. NJ. Barbee. Jr.'s trained
monkey He fell sometime Friday night
from his perch on the platform of Barbee
& Bandy's store into the river and yester-
day morning his lifeless body was found
near where he fell.
Seaman" though only a monkey, had
history. The story about him goes back
to before he was born, as it begins nearly
nineteen years ago. In 1876 Mr.. Barbee,
named Gonzales, who was sick with vel
low fever, nursing him and being respon-
sible for his expenses. When Gonzales
recovered he suddenly disappeared. Moth
ing was heard from him until 1883, when he
arrived in this port, and after considerable
trouble, found MIR. Barbee his benefactor
and paid his Indebtedness, and gave him
a monkey as a token of his appreciation of
his kindness to him in 1876.
Mr.. Barbee, then lived at Thunderbolt
and Seaman" as the monkey had been
named, in honor of his former master
soon became the most popular attraction
at that suburb. Upon Mr. Barbee's re-
moval to Isle of Hope Seaman went with
him and became equally popular with the
people of that village. His many cunning
tricks and genial good nature made him
a favorite with every one.
The remains of the unfortunate animal
were incoftlned and buried yesterday. Sea
man was only monkey, but his MANY
virtues were appreciated by those who
knew him best ~

QUEEN OF THE COASTERS.
The New Plant Steamship the Big
gest of Them All.

gest of Them All.
The New York Herald says of the new
Plant steamship, the building of which
was announced in the Morning News sew
eral days ago:
"A steamer which when completed will
be the largest in the American coasting
trade and, perhaps, the nucleus of a new
line, will be built within ten months for
the Plant Investment Company by the
Newport News Shipbuildng and Dry
Dock Company of Newport News, Va.
The Plant Investment Company is now
operating steamers between Port Tampa,
Fla, and Havana, and between Boston
and Canadian ports, connecting with the
Plant system of railways.
What is to be done with the new
steamer the officers of the company say
they have not decided yet They decline
to tell whether or not they are going to
operate new line to New York. The
vessel might be used to connect with any
of their lines of railways The name of
the new vessel has not yet been selected.
THE new steamer will be built of steel.
She will be used for passengers ana
freight. Her accommodations will be for
200 first-class and 500 second-class passen-
gers, which will be equal to those of many
transatlantic steamers.
The vessel will be 400 feet over all,
A feet beam and % feet deep. She will
have twin screws, driven by fore and aft
quadruple expansion engines, built for a
working pressure of 200 pounds of steam
to the square inch and developing a horse
power of 1000. Her speed will be about II
knots an hour, The vessel will be pro-
tected by double bottom and water
tight bulkheads She will carry plants for
electric lighting and refrigerating.
The interior furnishings will be of ma
hogany, and the appointments of the ves-
sci viii include everything possible for
the comfort of passengers. Especial at
tention will be given to ventilation and
light in the staterooms. The work OF
construction will begin in a few days"

An Ideal Policy.

The Massachusetts Mutual Life Insur-
ance Company writes a policy that for
liberality, clearness and absence Of all
hard to understand insurance terms. will
commend itself to any liberal-minded,
thinking, business man. The policy con-
tains in black and white the amount of
cash. as we'll as paid up surrender value,
available any year after the first.
The paid up alues are binding on the
company, without action on the part of
the insured and the cash value can be
claimed any year after the first.
This IS in accordance with the laws of
Massachusetts.
Unlike other policies. the Massachu-
sets MutualS policy contains no time
limits within which to apply for the equity
desired, failing which the policy holder
is compelled to accept some condition
more favorable TO the company; these
time limits are often overlooked or neg
lected. No unnecessary restrictions are
contained in the contract and the paid
up policies of the Massachusetts, Mutual
participate in dividends during their ex-
istence and constantly increase in cash
value. Paid up policies in most COM
panies are participating.
Dividends in life insurance depend on
the mortality experience of the company I;
nevertheless the dividends of the Massa-
chusetts Mutual have been regular and
steady; unlike some other companies,
whose dividends are up one year and down
the next. These dividends have been paid
each year, to the satisfaction of many
of our best business men, for many years
past.
The Massachusetts Mutual is the only
company doing business in this city offer
ing all the above features combined We
invite comparison with the contracts of
other companies. With a policy in the
Massachusetts Mutual, you see how YOU
get in, and how to get out is just S
apparent.
Send your name, date of birth and ad-
dress to Harry q Apple, gem
eral agents for Georgia, 81 Bay street
Savannah, Ga, and a sample policy will
be sent you. A few live special agents
can secure good territory.-ad.
