Sweet sound OF a woman singing

That summons all the winds TO prayer in many

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 skillfully 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 large majority. There is always a
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 a con-
tract, which may be evaded), more for his
money than anywhere else-not dependent
on his own knowledge, watchfulness or
shrewdness, but are his by law.
No string tied to this kind. The Massa-
chusetts Mutual Is the Oldest h1assachu-
sets company. A specimen policy, or 9th
er information, cheerfully furnished. Send
your age and address to Harry & Apple,
general agents for Georgia, III Bay street,
east, Savannah, Ga.-ad

THE HEARING POSTPONED.
street Railroad Injunction Case
Against the City Goes over.


Against the city Goes over.
The injunction suit of the Savannah,
Thunderbolt and Isle of Hope Railway
Company to prevent the sale of the prop
erty upon which the power house stands,
at Bolton street, and the Savannah, Flor
ida and Western Railway, for non-pay-
ment of city taxes, did not come up before
Judge Falligant yesterday it having been
postponed by consent Of the attorneys in
terested.
The case was assigned for hearing next
Saturday. The city viii take the ground
that the property is subject 10 taxation,
and Will urge is strongly. The company
contends that it IS not liable on the ground
that the citY's plan has not yet been eX-
tended to that section. In view of all the
circumstances the case win undoubtedly
be most interesting one. The railway
company has got about everything that
the city could give IL in the way of fran
chises, practically shutting out all prob
ability of opposition. The fact that it is
now refusing to pay taxes on its power
house property on a technical ground has
created a good deal Of comment.
In the. case of Samuel Meinhard against
the Falk Clothing Company, an order was
granted in the Superior Court on applca-
ton Of the plaintiff directing Receiver T.
f. Thomson to vacate the premises on
Broughton street by Sept l. so thai they
may be rented to other parties for the
ensuing year.
The appearance docket will be called in
the Superior Court tomorrow morning at
10 O'clock. The court viii now take up the
civil docket, cases having been assigned
to the middle of August.

understand what luxury Hicks restau-
rant Is, and how much the people owe
him for establishing such a fine iustitu-

accommodation for twice the sum charg-
ed. Hicks Is the ideal restaurant. aud

During the summer everybody goes to

you want Hicks can handle any sized
crowd this season since his facilities have
been so greatly increased. There Is no
delay and eVerything is satisfactory I'D.

GILDEA AND MISS KELLOGG.
The Music Hall Proprietor Says He
Made No Contract.

Neil GiIdea states that his troubles with
Miss Kellogg arose from claim she made
against him for damages for breach of an
alleged contract, and not for services rem
dered. He says he made no contract with
her, and will not pay damages unless or
dered to do so by the court of last re-
sort.
The publicity given the case, he claims,
has been evidently due TO private animos-
ity, and that the pauper affidavit, which
relates only to the costs, is not an I'M
usual court incident, as will be shown by
the records in many cases.
His billiard tables were only levied upon
construcuvely, and are still in his possess
sion, as the sanction of his application for
the writ of certiorari suspends not only the
Judgment of the lower court, but also the
execution issued hereunder, until the final
determination of the case.

delicious peaches containing three to four
quarts, sold for IS cents, and single quarts
were freely offered by peddlers all over

fact that all the regulars, of

ridges for which are made with smoke
less powder. The &rag-Jorgensen is con-
sidered 10y army experts a superior weapon
10 the Mauser. The bullet is nickel-p!ated
and the gun ana ammunition are in
every way superior to the Spanish weapon.
