An Every Day Experience.

I carried a 'toPtine policy for several
years. paying my premiums regularly.
when circumstances became such that
needed money badly. thought of my pol
icy and the specious promises Of the agent
at once. I called at the Office of the COM
pany, only to TO be informed that my policy
had no cash value whatever. I was nat
urally disappointed when 1 found that 1
had been cherishing a delusion. I, there
fore. surrendered my policy, forfeiting all
the accrued dividends, and received a
paid-up, non-participating one for a less
amount, which is an unproductive piece
of paper during life, awaiting death for
its redemption. This mans experience
would have been entirely different had his
insurance been in the Massachusetts Mu-
tual Life Insurance Company, as the pol
icies Of that company contain a table
showing the amount of cash and paid-up
insurance available any year after the
second. This company loans 80 per cent.
of these cash values and the paid-up pol
icies, when in excess Of 800, not only par
ticipate in dividends during their exis-
tence, but have an increasing cash sur
render value, which is always available.
This company also pays large dividends
annually, which may be drawn in cash to
reduce premiums, or may be allowed to
accumulate, purchasing additional paid
up insurance each year Write Hearty &

particulars.-ad.

TION TO MEET.

A Red-HOt Call Issued by Mai. p. w.

Administration Organization - 1t
VIII BE Perfected Tuesday Night
at Masonic Hall.
''In pursuance Of a resolution recently
adopted by number of citizens and tax
payers public meeting Of all citizens who
are opposed to the policy and methods OF
the political faction that now controls the
city administration and local legislation
is called for Tuesday night, March 10. 1886.
$50 O'Clock, at the Masonic temple, for
the purpose of perfecting organization
That is the wording of a notice which
appears in to-day's Morning News. The
call is signed by Maj. p. w. Meldrim. as
temporary chairman. This may properly
be regarded as the first gun of the cam
paign. There has only been a little Skin
mishing heretofore, but now the fight is
to begin in earnest. There is no doubt
whatever that the meeting Will be largely
attended. The opposition to the Citizens
Club is strong and very much worked up.
1t is to be doubted If the hall will hold
the crowd which will attend.
In all probability the organization will
be perfected under the name of the Lib
eral Club, with Maj. Meldrim as chair
man. The Liberal Club is the name Of
the central organization of the opposition
to the Citizens Club, but there are dis
trict clubs working in conjunction with it,.
There is no doubt that the organization
has done great deal of work of late ana
its members claim to be getting the best
of the registration right along. The other
side claim the same thing, for that mat
ter. The liberals. as they will now doubt
less be called, have gained. several of the
leaders of the Citizens Club in the last
campaign and claim to have secured large
accessions from the ranks as well. The
meeting Tuesday night will afford some
idea Of the grounds on which the claims
are based.

J. J. Merriman, foreman of the work OF

Quits, and Policeman Ed Coffee had a
lively Setto in the neighborhood of Bay

day. Coffee was in citizens dress. He is
one of the mounted men and merely hap
pened to be in that neighborhood off duty
Mr.. Merriman has "touchy" negro in
MS employ and he was amusing himself
with him. "Touchy'' negroes are so nerv-
Gus that a sudden touch or a sharp
drawn sound between the teeth will cause
them 10 jump as If they had been struck
Comee lnterferred and told Mr. Merriman
10 let the negro alone. He was told to go
about his own business. Some sharp
words followed and Coffee ATTEMPTED to
arrest Mr.. Merriman. The latter did not
know that Coffee was a policeman and
resisted arrest. In fact, his Resistance
was so determined that the officer was
getting considerably the worst of the af-
his bardge.
When he saw that his antagonist was
an orhcer Mr.. Merriman accepted the adj
vice OF friends to submit to arrest He
was taken to the box at Bull and Raw
streets and sent to the barracks. where
ne was immediately released on bond. and
returned to his work. The fight attracted

restaurant is the good thing of this city.
When the best is wanted the first thought
is of Hicks. People know what to ex-
pect when they go to Hicks, and there is
never any disappointment. Hicks has
made a reputation, and it win always be
maintained. The markets of the whole
country are drawn upon to supply his
demands, and no one has yet made a call
Hicks could not respond to. Hicks is no
ordinary establishment, like the MANY So
establishment, high-class, strictly elegan,
and without an equal in the south Hicks
is open day and night and the location
facing Johnson square, is convenient and
unequalled. Hicks serves the best meals
obtainable and the price of a meal ticket

THE WAYS OF THE WORLD.
The News of Interest TO the People
Just Now.

A summary of the news during the past
few days. is the Cuban affairs, in which
the generalship of Gomez and Weyler is
watched by the sympathizers of Cuban in
dependence and the admirers of Spanish
authority; the imminent danger OF Italy
being thrown into the state of anarchy,
and the political situation of the country,
including the affairs of the municipal gov
eminent of Savannah
Another item of local interest at present
is the bicycle craze which has struck old
and young alike. The daily accidents FUR
nish items for the newspapers, and the
frequent sensations sometimes crowd out
news of a religious nature-even during
lent-when everybody is expected to OBJ
serve the regulations laid down by the
church.
The only regular. conservative and non
sensational item of vast interest to-day
is the feeding of the people. They must
be cared for, and those who trade with
Logan are properly served, so that once a
patron they are always patron. His Len
ten service cannot be surpassed.-ad.

PINK HANBURY's VICTIM DEAD.
Harris Ellis Died out in CuyIer
swamp.

Harris Ellis. the negro who was shot
in the Sackville row three weeks ago. is
dead. He died Friday morning at his
home in Cuyler swamp back Of Sackville.
where he was removed several days ago
from the Georgia Inhrmary. When it was
seen that he could not recover his rela-
tives were allowed to take him to his
home.
Ellis was paralyzed for several days be-
fore his death. The bullet entered his
back, grazing his backbone and passing
toward the front of the abdomen. Coro-
ner Goette was notified of Ellis death and
permitted the body to be buried yesterday.
IT is discretionary with the coroner wheth-
er he will hold an inquest in cases of
this kind, where all the facts are known.
and the coroner preferred not to agitate
the matter, in the hope that Ellis slayer
would be caught
Ellis was shot by Pink Hanbury There
was row at a church supper at Sack
Vile, and Hamburg, who had had some
trouble with Ellis before this, shot him
from outside the house, polzing the gun
through a window. Twi shots were fired.
but only one took effect. Hamburg then
ran of down the road. one or two other
parties were hurt in the fight, but not
seriously.

place. the hight of the barometer is meas
ured and corrected for temperature and
elevation, all measurements being cor
rected to sea level, and TO freezing point
temperature. Otherwise the measure
ments in the various offices are not COM
parable.
Again the temperature of the air is
taken with delicate instruments. Humid
ity Is also measured. In the morning the
minimum temperature is taken and in the
evening the maximum temperature An
other observation Is the direction and We
locity of the wind, which is measured by
an instrument that is electrically connect
cd with the weather Vane on the TOP of
the Board of Trade building. The amount
OF clouds and the direction in which thew
are moving Is still another item. The pre-
cipitation of rain or snow for the twelve
hours preceding is also measured by in
struments located on the roof of the board
OF trade building. All these observations
are entered corrected, enciphered and are
ready for telegraphing to the various sta
tons that are to receive them
AS soon as taken, the observations are
Med Tor the wire and sent to Washington.
Ihen they are sent on their different cir
cults to the stations that require them
Tor their forecasts. All stations on a cir
cult send while the wire is closed and NO
one else has the use of it. AS soon as the
reports from all stations that report 10
savannah are in, the weather mans are
prepared by marking with blue and red
lines, the lines that the barometer meas
urements follow, and also the thermome-
ter schedule.
When the map is covered with the meas
urements as shown throughout the sec.
ton used, the forecaster is ready to tel
whether it is to rain or shine. 1t would

HAS AN EYE ON THE ELEMENTS
HOW UNCLE SANS WEATHER PRE-
DICTIONs ARE MADE.

ing-ExpIanatiOn of the storm and
Weather signals.
Perhaps there is not a more thorough
service in existence than that by which
the people of the United States are kept
posted on weather conditions.
All sensible people are learning to rely
npon the predictions of the weather bu-
reau and act in accordance with them.
and there are few who cling to the view
that they may expect just the opposite
weather conditions from those set down
in the daily forecast
1t is a science and an art which has
been brought as nearly as possible 10 a
state of perfection. Savannah's weather
predictions are based upon reports which
come from every station east of the Rocky
Mountains, because weather conditions
within that area always affect the At
lantic seabOard, and often to its southern
extremity.
The work of the bureau is most interest
ing. but it Is equally intricate TO the I'M
initiated. The most important part of the
work consists in taking observations and
recording them. for upon the accuracy of
these data depends the reliability of the
forecasts for the whole country.
Two records are made each day. One
is made at o'clock In the morning, the
other at O'Clock at night. Time in all
stations In the country is that of the 10Th
meridian, so that observations are all
made at the same time-an important
factor in making predictions. In the first
