man was a year younger than the wo-
man were almost as numerous as those
in which he vas six oil seven years

G.7 per cent. of all married couples. and.
the latter condition of GA per cent. The
cases where the husband was six or

almost as numerous as those where he
was thirteen or fourteen years older.
Only two cases were discovered where
the husband vas thirty-ivc years the

was the older by forty-seven years.
One case was discovered where the
wife was thirty-four years older than

women under twenty years Of age, ac-

A Wonderful Mineral.

There ID q wonderful mineral found
in Iceland that possesses the strange
property Of producing two images of q
single object. On looking through 1t at
a pencil, for instance, you will see two
pencils, both of which will be clearly
defined. The mineral is translucent
and crystalline and goes by the name
Of Iceland spar. The mine in which it
Is found Is located on the eastern coast
Of Iceland and is controlled by the
Danish Government. The spar is ex-
ceedingly valuable, owing to its many
uses in the sciences. particularly for
the manufacture of optical instruments
and for experiments in polarization.

AS interesting as the lavish express

of the brute creation to the enforced.

be to quit his comforts and enlist with

squat the foxhound of costly pedigree

Catch the Thief.

Procrastination is said TO be the thief Of
time and the murderer of opportunities,
and 1t should have bsen added, the rob-
Der Of widows and the orphans. Why men
who are in good health should procrasu-
nate, when it comes to taking life insur-
ance, is beyond conception. So many con-
tingencies may arise. Death comes to all
alike and the uncertainty of its coming
should hasten your decision. You are in
gvood health to-day, tomorrow may never
come to you. Only one hesitation should
you have; careful, thoughtful considera-
ton should be given to the choice of a
company in which to place your insurance.
When you get to that point let us show
you the plans of the Massachusetts Mu-
tual, organized 1851. There are certain
important factors governing life insurance
which every man should carefully consid-
er before making his application, or accept
ing policy and the laws of Aassachu-
sets cover and protect better than the
laws of any other state in the union. Let
us explain this matter to you. Address

GENERAL JACKSON STRICKEN.
ATTACKED by A SEVERE PARA
IHTIC STROKE.

HIS Entire Left side ParnIyzed and
He Is Not Expected to Recover.
WAS Resting Easily when Dr.
stone Left Him Last Night-He Has
Been sick About Ten Days or Two
weeks, But His Condition Was Not
Considered Serious.
The many friends of Gen. Henry r. jack
son will be deeply panied to learn that he
Is suffering from a severe stroke OF paraiy-
sis. from which he is not expected TO re-
cover.
Gen. Jackson has been confined to his
bed for about ten days or two weeks sur
fering from what was supposed to be
rheumatism. He talked with several of has
friends who called on him from day to day,
and bis condition did not seem serious
Nevertheless it is said that his trouble was
paralysis in a light form instead of rheu-
matism.
Yesterday afternoon, however, DR..
George H. Stone, who has been attending
him during his recent illness, was hur-
riedly summoned owing to a change for the
worse in Gen. Jackson's condition. On ar
irving at his home at Bull and Castor
streets he found Gen. Jackson suffering
from a severe stroke of paralysis which
had affected his entire left side. This sud
den change for the worse was quite
surprise in view of the fact that Gen. Jack
son seemed to be getting along well and
improving from day to day. His condition
was at once seen to be most dangerous.
There was a Slight improvement in lbs
condition following the visit of DR.. Stone,
but last night about o'clock he was
hurredly summoned again to Gen. Jack
sons bedside. His condition slightly 'm-
proved again during the evening, and
when DR. Stone left him about 1870 O'Clock
he was resting easily. The doctor was
again summoned about midnight when
Gen Jackson was attacked with Mt OF
vomiting He rallied, however, after
short while.
About two or three months ago Cen
jackson was attacked by vertigo while
standing at Perry and Bull streets and was
taken to his home. His condition at that
time was considered quite serious, but re
finally recovered. Though able to go
about after that most of his time was
spent quietly at home. Gen. Jackson
seemed in pretty good health and spirits
until about two weeks ago when this
last sickness came upon him. Reports as
10 his condition did not indicate anything
serious until yesterday when the severe
paralytc stroke came.
The many Savannahians who know and
esteem and love Gen. jackson will await
eagerly the reports from his bedside in
the hope that he may recover from this
attack.

KNIGHTS GOING TO AUGUSTA.
DELEGATION OF PYTHIANs TO AT
TEND GRAND LODGE.

Efforts BEING Made by Three Com
pnnies TO Enter the Prize Drills,
Though Only One Company, 1t Is
Expected, Will Have Sufficient
Men-They Leave Tuesday, and the
Session VIII Be Wednesday and
Thursday.
Three companies of the Uniformed
Rank, Knights Of Pythias, will leave for
Augusta Tuesday night to attend the meet
ing of the grand lodge and encampment
to be held there. Representatives from
lodges all over the state viii attend the
sessions.
For time 1t was thought the Savannah
lodges would not have very large turn
out, but indications now are that each
will be as well represented as any others
in the state. Besides the companies
there viii be three representatives from
each lodge, which will increase the Num-
Der to an extensive delegation.
The companies to attend will be Georgia,
No. 1, Capt. w. t. Leopold. Lieut.. A. s.
Cohen, Second Lieut. William Taylor; Teu-
tonia, No. g. Capt. George White, Lieut.
Benjamin Calls, Second Lieut.. H. Stell-
jes; Savannah, No. Is, Capt. Jacob Gazan,
Lieut. w. I. Dixon, Second Lieut.. Lean

Gen. X. f. Harmon and his staff, consist
ing of Col. John Juchter and Capt. w. C.
Schaeffer. In the absence of Mai. J, Fer
ris Cam, Capt. George White will prop
ably act by seniority.
The session viii continue two days,
Wednesday and Thursday The Savannah
Knights will return Friday. Each lodge
sends three representatives in addition 10
the companies. In view of the fact that
large numbers will be in Augusta during
the two days of the session, the Knights
there are understood TO have made every
preparation for the entertainment of their
visitors.
Probably one OF the most interesting
features of the event will be the prize
drill by all visiting companies. All the
companies going from Savannah will not
be able to enter the contest, however, on
account of being below the humber re-
quired. Capt. Gazan said yester-
day that it would be impossible
for him to get a sufficient number of his
company to attend to insure his entering

IMPROPERLY DISCHARGED. ..
A Sailors Complaint Against the
Schooner Ida Lawrence.

A Sailors Complaint Against the
Schooner Ida Lawrence.
Benjamin F. Pierce. the mate on the
schooner Ida Lawrence, from Baltimore
for Savannah, made a complaint before
the United States Commissioner that he
had been improperly discharged by Capt.
John Thorpe, who has charge of the
schooner on this trip.
Pierce was on deck at work the night
the schooner was struck by lightning, and
It seems, sustained pretty severe shock.
The result was a arrangement of his
nervous condition, and he applied to the
captain for permission to go to the hos
pltal when he arrived here. Capt Thorpe
gave him permission, but at the same time
discharged him, paying him the small
amount of wages then due.
The commissioner he'd that the discharge
of Pierce was improper, in that his in
juries We're due to providential causes
while in the discharge of his duty, the
testimony of the Witnesses indicating that
he was not 10 blame. Though Pierce had
signed a receipt for his money, il was de-
cided that this did not hold in view of the
fact that he was not informed of his
rights Seamen being the wards of the
nation, and generally an Ignorant class,
the law is generally construed literally an
their favor Capt. Thorpe was required to
pay Pierce his wages while the schooner
remains In port and to afford him trans
portation to the port where he was signed
as soon as he is able TO go. If Pierce is
able 60 work when the schooner sails he
viii be taken back in his former position.
