TO CHANGE THE PROVOST.
Col. Swift VIII Want His Regiment
In the Field.

Col. Swift viii Want His Regiment
In the Field.
It looks now as If the Fourth Illinois
Regiment VIII be relieved from provost
guard duty within a few days, some of the
officers think by the latter part of the
week.
Col. Ebon Swift, who has just been COM
missioned colonel of the regiment, has
gone to Washington on business connected
with his new duties, and Is expected to
return to the city the latter part of the
week.
The chances are that Col. Swift win
want to get his command into the field
and get it in good shape as a regiment
again. The boys of the Fourth Illinois
are not overjoyed at the prospect of going
back to the regular camp life. They have
enjoyed provost duty hugely for although
they have had hard work to do they have
had considerably more time that they could
call their own. They are hoping that
some arrangement will yet be made to
keep them at this duty.
Just what arrangements will be made
with regard to the provost guard is not
definitely known. 1t may be that another
regiment will be assigned to the duty, or
it may be that they viii take turns at It,
The permanent detail of the provost guard,
however, will remain the same as at pres

CAUGHT FROM A SPARK.
Small Blaze In Mcmillan Brothers
Copper Foundry.

Copper Foundry.
A small blaze occurred in the foundry
room of Mcmillan Bros, copper works on
Liberty street, about o'clock last night.
Luckily some of the workmen were around
having just left the building.
Assistant Chief Mouro of the fire depart
ment, who lives nearby on liberty street,
was notified at once. Seeing that the fire
had not made great progress Mr.. Mouro
did not turn In an alarm, but summoned
the chemical engine and hose reel from
No. 8 house on Oglethorpe avenue. The
blaze was quickly extinguished by a
stream from the chemical engine. The
damage was very slight.
Ii was evident that the fire had originat-
ed from spark from the foundry, which
started blaze in the ceiling between the
first and second floors on the north side of
the building.
Mr.. II. II. Mcmillan, who was at his
home on Huntington street, was notified
by telephone, but the blaze had been ex-
tnguished when he arrived.

TO FoRM ANOTHER cLuB.
The Inlet Club VIII Hereafter Have
Only Ten or Twelve Members.

Only Ten or Twelve Members.
The Inlet Club property on Tybee Island,
formerly the Chatham Artillery Club
house, which has passed into the hands
of five Of the former members, who num-
bered twenty will soon be repaired and
put in first class shape for the coming
season
The property was purchased by Messrs.
w. P. Bailey, A. 5. Nichols. George Tur-
ner William Miller and T. n. Theus, these
gentlemen having bought out the fifteen
others formerly associated with them in
its ownership. It is their intention to have
a club of ten or twelve members, instead
of twenty as heretofore, and they Will as
sociate with them either five or seven
others. as they may decide after a consid-
Grafton OF the matter.
II will cost about 500 to put the property
in good shape after the damage resulting
from this years storms. The work will be
done just as soon as the lumber can be
sent down to the island. 1t has been a
difficult matter to get any lumber there
within the last few weeks owing to the
fact that all of the lumber firms here
have been busy supplying the Seventh
Army Corps. The club will be continued
under the same charter and name.
The members of the club who sold their
interest are considering the purchase of
a site some distance east of the old club
house, across the railroad track and erect
ing a row of handsome cottages fronting
the inlet The site is very desirable one
with a stretch of sand beach.

The Commission Asks for $50, 500 for
Next Year.
The Water Commission will hand in its
budget estimate of next years expenses
early this week. The commission viii ask
for $50, 800. This is an increase of $500
over the allowance for the present year
An itemized statement VIII be submitted
showing the various expenditures which
will be required.
The entire amount asked for is for run
ming expenses, but the statement to be
submitted will show that the increase is
needed for repairs to machinery, the re-
placing of old MIGRANTS, which cannot be
repaired with new MIGRANTS, and other
necessary improvements
The commission will ask for an appro-
priation for a new Pinch main on River
street, and also for an appropriation for
taking up the pipe laid to the camps of
the Seventh Army Corps, and relaying the
same in the city, when the camps shall
have been abandoned. The cost of this
work Is estimated at % per cent. of the
value of The pipe.

NEW CREMATORY NEEDED.
City's Present Garbage Burner In
bad Condition.

City's Present Garbage Burner In
bad Condition.
The next City Council may have to face
the question of erecting a new crematory.
The present crematory is badly in need of
repairs, and the estimated cost for operat-
ing it next year is S6.245.
Commissioner Willink, in his annual
budget estimate, states that the crematory
is in bad cond ton, and that it will be nee
essary to make extensive repairs. He asks
for a new crematory, but makes no esti-
mate of the cost of erecting one. Based
on the cost of crematories recently erected
in other cities, however, the cost of q new
crematory should be between $4,000 and
$17 900.
The present crematory consumes about
two-thrds of the city garbage. Instead of
making extensive repairs to the old crema-
tory the city might find 1t to its advantage
TO erect a new crema tory, capable of con-
Stunning the entire garbage of the city.

thusiastic cooperation.

tine" or Deferred Dividend Plans.
Annual dividends are like the old story
"a bird in the hand is worth two in the
bush" With annual dividends there ia
no uncertainty and whether the dividend
be applied to reduction of premium. max
ing the insurance cost less or the pur-
chase of additions TO the policy, thereby
increasing the insurance, the policy holder
is sure of what he has got and it cahnot
be taken from him nor be eaten up by
future expenses, or in the payment Of
enormous commissions and bonuses to
agents to induce them to push the "ton-
tine. game. The estimates" of future
"tontine'' results are promises TO the ear
to be broken to the heart. They are re-
ducing year by year and none of the
figures of surplus to be paid at the end
of the period are as large now as few
years ago. 1t is poor judgment to 60 into
business with any one for twenty years,
allow them to handle all the funds, regu-
late salaries and all other expenditures.
and accept their word as final at the end
of the period as TO how much or how lit
tie is coming to you. That is what Won
do when you take a "Tontine'' or deferred
dividend policy. The commonwealth Of
Massachusetts has enacted laws which
prohibit its companies from doing a ton
tine business. when ten men start in
the race of life insurance, and by and by
two, from poverty because they have lost
work, because their wives or little ones
are sick, are unable to keep up their in

continue TO the end, shall not put in
their hands and grab the money which the
poor have paid in, and thrust it into their
own pockets That is tontine; and Mas
| sachusetts has said that it shall not be
done by her companies.
The law of Massachusetts has many
other advantageous features, provides a
guaranteed cash surrender for every year
beginning with the second, stringently reg
ulates the payment of dividends, and looks
well after the safety and stability of her
companies. The Massachusetts Mutual Is

Why the Cuban Movement Is De-
Iayed.
A Straight Tip From One Who
Knows.

Much attention has been attracted by
the many and vague rumors as to the date
set for the movement of the Seventh Army
Corps on Cuba. There's a sort of crude
idea abroad that officials know a good
deal more about the matter than they "let
on to know. A gentleman well known
in the community as one who does not go
around with his eyes bandaged, or ears
stopped, says that the whole thing In a
nutshell is that the local army Is SO stuck
on Sternberg & Co.'s me Jewelry display
and low prices that 1t Is 10th to tear itself
away from the Forest City. We don't
blame the army, as IL has shown It's fancy
for this fine establishment by patronizing
it literally. Our Savannah people know
Sterberg's too well to require much urg-
ing in their attendance. Sternberg & Co. )
stock of jewelry, diamonds, fine cut glass,
watches, clocks, statuary, etc, is the rich
est ever shown in Savannah, and the
prices particularly explain the reluctance
of the U. s. army to leave Savannah.-ad.
