A String Tied to 1t.

The average man knows little about life
insurance. Even if he reads his policy. it
is doubtful if he knows any more about it
after than before
The ingenuity of man is taxed to its ut
most by some companies to word their
policies so sknlfully that no one but an
expert can see through them. They ap-
pear to promise big things, but when you
analyze them and study all the conditions
and offsets attached you find that the
company is not going to get left" Not
by a large majority There is always d
string tied to the privileges.
Fortunately for busy men, the Massa-
chusetts legislature, years ago, foresaw
this, and enacted laws which absolutely
protect you if your policy is in one of the
famous Massachusetts companies. A man
ignorant of insurance can take a policy,
with perfect confidence, in one of the Mas
sachusetts companies, knowing that he is
guaranteed by law mot simply by con-
tract, which may be evaded), more for his
money than anywhere else-not dependent

HATEFUL DAYS RECALLED.
GETTYsBURG's BATTLES BROUGHT
TO MIND BY SANTIAGO's SIEGE.

The Decisive Battle of the Civil War
Fought just Thirty-hve Years Ago.
SaVannahinns' Deep Interest in
Events In Cuba-Enger Crowds
Watch the Bulletins for Every
Scrap of War News.
Intense interest has been displayed for
the last two days In all the news from the
battlefield of Santiago.
On the same days thirty-hve years ago
there was an interest and an anxiety about
another battle fought on native soil, which
viii probably never be equalled On July
1, 1868, the battle of Getty sburg began, just
as on July 1, 1898, the battle of Santiago
started with skirmIshes, followed by a
more general engag cement toward night,
and with both the opposing armies in des-
perate conflict on the days of July and 8.
From the scene of battle on those days
nothing definite as to what the result
would be could be had, and on July both
armies rested, preliminary to the master
full withdrawal of Lee and his forces.
Santiago may be a repetition of the bat
tie of Gettysburg, on a smaller scale. in
more ways than rs regards dates. The
slaughter on both sides, in proportion to
heavy as on the Pennsylvania fields and
hills both sides are fighting with grim de-
termination and desperateness, each is I'M
dergoing great privations, and although all
Will hope that the result is otherwise, the
conclusion may be a drawn battle, with
neither side victorious.
Every tri1e Of news from Santiago is
read and reread by thousands passing the
Morning News bulletin boards in the
course Of the day Yesterday especially,
the anxiety for definite information was
keenly marked. The bulletins posted were
sufficient to show that the American loss
would be very heavy and that it was far
from being a fOregone conclusion that vic
tory would be matter of merely a few
hours more operations. Grave fears were
openly expressed that the American
troops. fighting heat as well as bullets
might be unable to force a surrender of
the city and be compelled to fall back
and await reinforcements. That was the
general view expressed by those about the
bulletins Many visited the boards every
FEW minutes, and it is safe to say that
some passed several hours in all in the
street awaiting for any later intelligence.
To-day there will hardly be a cessation
of the desire for news from the battle
field, and 1t IS more than probable that
all other matters will temporarily lose
their hold upon mems minds The fact
that the Second Georgia. with so many
Savannahians in its ranks, is expected to
be among the reinforcements to be hur-
ried forward to Gen. Shafter serves to
make this city have a personal interest
that at some points may be lacking The
horrible destruction so far wrought serves
to show that Cuba is not TO be taken with
out a heavy sacrifice Of lives. and indi-
Gates that the coming weeks viii be full
of sorrow for many families whose boys
are at the 'front.'

WANT TO GET To THE FRONT.
President Conner Found the Chat
hams Well and Anxious to March.

President H. NJ. Conner returned yester-
day morning from a visit to ChickamayEa,
where he went several days ago, accom-
panied by Mrs. Conner and a party Of
ladies.
Mr. Conner spent two days at the camp,
and had a splendid opportunity for obser-
walton as to The conditions there. The
primary object of his trip was to visit
the Chatham Artillery, one section of
which Is in command of Lieut.. II. N.
Conner, Jr. Mr.. Conner. as has been stat
ed in dispatches 10 the Morning News,
carried The men in the battery lot OF
good things, which were highly enjoyed,
and abundantly appreciated by the recipl-
ents.
The dispatch stated that a white duck
suit was carried to each member of the
battery. This was mistake. Each man
was given suit of pajamas, provided by
the Ladies Aid Society Of the Chatham
Artillery, and 1t was interesting TO see
the men with them. Some Of them took
them for overalls, and for while had
much amusement, a sergeant carrying
squad of men out on drill with these new
uniforms
Mr.. Conner says he found the men in
the Chathams we'll and in good spirits
They are anxious, he said, 10 get to the
seat oil conflict, ana are hoping ICF Sdlly
orders to march. There is some little dis
appointment among the members OF the
battery over the fact that they have not
yet secured their guns. They have been
in camp now for two months, all of which
time they have had to drill without their
guns. and have lost thereby much of the
excellent practice they might have had.
They have about fifty of their horses, but
viii need more than double that number.
They have assurances, however that the
guns will be forthcoming in a short time
Mr. Conner also saw Col. A. r. Law
ton OF the First Georgia Regiment. The
First is encamped some two miles dis
tant from the Chathams. and the men,
consequently, do not see much of each
other. The men in the regiment are in
good condition, and about as anxious to
get to the front as are the Chathams.
The camp covers about ten square miles
on the ord battlefield OF Chickamagua. 1t
lis admirably located for a camping ground,
Mr. Conner says, and is ideal in every re-
spect, except with regard TO the ar
engagements for water supply. The men
get their waters from wells, in connection
with which pumps are used, and the water
is not as abundant as it should be for an
army of 5000 men, such as is encamped
there. The men, therefore, do not have
the facilities for bathing which they should
have. This, however, is the only defect,
and It can and probably viii be remedied
by tn government.

Druggists and others handling proprie-
tary articles began yesterday to endeavor
to keep up with their sales of such goods

In business circles, while there is a little
complaining about some Of the taxes, the

by the inability of the department to put

IN BEHALF OF DUMB BEASTS.
Complaints of Cruelty to Animals
BecuminE Frequent.

Complaints of Cruelty to Animals
Becoming Frequent.
There has been a good deal of complaint
recently of the Ill treatment of dumb ami
mals-mules and horses-prlncipaly by col
ored drivers
A case was reported a day or
two ago where the driver of a truck on
Bay street. whose mule was crippled by
an ugly wound on the leg from which the
blood dripped to the pavement. urged the
animal on with a whip, pulling a heavy
load. The wound was a confusion of
some sort and was cut at every step by
the shoe on the other foot. The animal
was driven without mercy.
Numbers of horses are said to be driven
both day and night by hack drivers who
sleep in their hacks, while the horses get
little rest or food. This practice is not so
common as in the winter time, however.
During the hot weather of the last week
or ten days animals have suffered equally
with people. Anyone who will take the
trouble TO watch the drinking fountain at
the foot of Whitaker street almost any
time during the day will see it surrounded
by teams.
one of the most pitiable sights
recently witnessed was that of a baggage
transfer wagon horse pulling a load of
heavy trunks through the sandy streets to
the steamer wharVeS. The bag
gage was overdue at the steamer. the wa
gon was overloaded and the horse poor at
best, urged on by the driver, nearly fell
from exhaustion when the dock was reach
ed. y similar sight was witnessed yester-
day Wien a wagon piled high with trunks
nearly stalled a horse near the Central
station.
There is a wide field for society for the
protection Of dumb beasts in Savannah In
the absence of such society there is an
opportunity for the police to see that draft
animals are not abused

der Their Prize.
Three hundred recruits who passed
through Savannah night before last, con-
signed to the Second and Sixty Ninth
New York regiments. were bent on hav-
ing little excitement to vary the monot-
ony of the long trip from New York to
Tampa. When the train stopped at Jones'
Station, about forty miles south of here
on the Florida Central and Peninsular
Railroad, a fine looking brindle COW, that
was standing nearby, was seized by a
squad of men and lifted bodily into one
of the cars.
Visions of fresh beef f1oated through the
minds of the hungry soldiers but at Ev-
erett City, twenty miles beyond Jones
Station, the conductor informed Lieut..
Haran, who was in charge of the men,
that the bovine passenger could ride no
longer on the train, and with much re-
luctance the boys were compelled to give
up their prize, and leave her in the piney
woods at Everett.
Farmers along the route made several
complaints about losing chickens, hogs
and fruit, but so far only one COW has
been reported "swiped."
