Hidden Under a RusheI.

Many competent judges have pronounced
the Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences
as worthy OF high place among the art
galleries of the country. Thousands of
strangers visit Savannah yearly. and the
influx of people from other states and
other parts Of this state on excursion
trains and to conventions and other meet
ings here this season. has been unprece-
dented. Every now and then there are
inquiries about the Telfair Academy and
how to gain admittance, and there seem
to be few Savannahians who can give the
required information. Just here IL may
be IN place to state that the academy Is
open every day from 10 o'clock a. m. to
o'clock p. m. and the admittancet fee
is % cents to those who are not members
Of the Georgia Historical Society who are
admitted free by card.
1t is a sad commentary that that inter
esting and instructive institution, upon
which much time and money and care
full attention have been lavished now re-
mains almost In the solitary care of the
janitor; it is seldom that its doors are
opened to a visitor, and its beauty and
value are fast approaching the tradi-
tional stage It was the intention Of the
generous lady to whom Savannah is deep
~ indebted for this valuable addition 20
its public and artistic attractions, that
the academy should be an educational
fount; not a seat Of teaching and in
struction perhaps, In the general sense,
but an institution In which the beauties
of art might be unfolded to the public
eye. affording an educational feature
which is too often neglected in this day
Of growing business activity. Under
present circumstances the academy is
practically without value: to the masses
for whose enlightenment II was intendedg
Il is a sealed book. Would II not be
well for the trustees to open II to the
public by giving members of the Georgia
Historical Society the right to issue ad-
mission cards, TO members of their fami-
lies or to any worthy applicant who would
ike to visit Il? Some time ago the So
cioty. by a large vote. refused TO make
the academy free to the public. but ex-
perlence has taught that general free adj
missions or admission by cards issued by
members Of the society are the only
means by which Miss Telfair's magnih-
cent bequest can be properly utilized Tn

ing more than a large investment in brick

Tragedy nthe Digginrs.

There was a hot time In the old town
last night, as the frequenters of the Dirty
Dog saloon will testify, says the Klondike
Morning News.
In the course Of a quiet little poker
game there was a clash between Bonanza
Bill, formerly of Circle City, and a half
breed Indian, known in the diggings as
Chilkoot Charley.
The stake was large. Over $1,000, 900 IN
nuggets glittered on the table when all
players dropped out excepting Bill and
Charley.
Charley finally weakened and called his
antagonist.
Bonanza Bill proudly displayed a pair
Of fours

to rake in the shining pot, I've got sew
ems"
Stop" roared Bonanza, and with a
quick movement he seized the cards from
Chill1oot Chal,ey's hand.
Charley had pair Of deuces only.
Piqued at the idea of being played for a
good thing by a half-breed Indian, Bo-
nanza Bill lost his temper. and selling a
cast-iron cuspidor. he brought il down
upon Charley's head with great emphasis.
Skull and spit-box were both wrecked by
the force of the collision.
The Indian was buried in a snow bank
at the foot Of Easy street, at 2:S0 a. m.
The affair is deeply regretted by our
best citizens Seldom has a similar trag-
edy cast such a gloom over the commu-
nifty. a cuspidor of the kind that was
ruined last night is a rare article of brio
a-brac in this section and cannot be re-
placed except by a lavish outlay OF
money.

Dirty Dog establishment, is Frustrated

Asressment Insurance.

Life insurance and building and loan
companies have become favorite methods
with the people for laying by money for
rainy day. hence these are legitimate
subjects Of special attention on the part of
the newspapers. A little more than year
ago the Morning News took occasion to
call attention TO the Massachusetts Bene-
fit Life Association in an editorial on
asses sment Insurance in general, and was
threatened by its local agent with a suit
for damages. It now appears that this as
ISOLATION is again having trouble with the
assessments upon It's members. The asso-
citation Is no doubt the largest assessment
insurance concern in this country. and is
probably as Wen managed as any other.
But, as with all assessment insurance So
cleties, its members after a while become
tired of paying death contributions. The
members or policy holders Of the Massa-
chusetts Benefit in New York and other
cities have recently held meetings to con-
slider the condition of the company. Ac-
cording TO an article which was printed
few days ago In the New York Herald, 1t
appears that the incorporators of the Mas
sachusetts Benefit, in spite of all that was
said about the concern last year, have
since paid themselves nearly half mil
lion dollars and charged the amount to
commissions to agents"
s"Augustus F. Harvey. actuary Missouri
state insurance department, and James NJ
Lewis who have been investigating the
affairs OF the association, have made pub
lie their report The report states that
all policies issued from 1879, when the or
ganization was incorporated. till the en-
actment Of the statutes of 1885, relating to
Insurance upon the assessment plan, were
Illegal, but later the acts of the company
were legalized by the legislature.
The examination of the account books
Of the association disclosed these figures:
Mortuary and reserve, $9O9, O69.15; expense
account. Sl06,S .63; non-invested assets,
S1,105 1921; contingent assets, $795, 351.2O;
liabilities 1911 3S9. 80; emergency fund, $685.
239 Is; policies in force June 10, SS.l1O.
The report says in part: What Is
wrong, or, at least open to criticism, is in
the concentration of the commission ac-
count, by which the balance of monthly
expense income over monthly expense ex-
pendtures. which was regarded by the
corporators as a legitimate profit to them
selves, was paid 20 themselves and charg-
ed out to commissions to agents. The
total amount of these payments to in
corporators appears to have been about
$4,000 since 1896.
For the mismanagement the lncorpora-
tors are undoubtedly blamable. but less
so than is the legislature, which. con-
trary to the advice and protestations of
the present insurance commissioner and
his predecessor. put premium on irwin
chile insurance and encouraged the essay
ing Of a highly complex business without
rudder or compass. and so made misman-
agement possible"

Skip was really responsible, although
he didn't quite realize the far-reaching
effect Of his innocent action. skip" it

a protest and a suppneation.
one night last week there called at the
Wrinkle cottage two Young people in
whose careers the Wrinkles are much in

sional man, who has already well estab-

hopeless youths have worshipped These
