ADJUSTMENTS.

Tonight at the Clunie Opera house
the famous boy violinist, Gerome Hell
mont, under direction of Victor Thrane
a successful New York manager, who
brought out Eugene Gerady, the cello
ist, Ysaye, the violinist. and some now
famous singers, will give a. concert.
He will be supported by Miss Grace
Preston, the contralto, who appeared
here in support of Madame Nordica
two years ago, and by Miss Ida Sim
mons, an accomplished pianiste Hell
mont is a sturdy, unaffected lad, not
yet IA years of age, whose musical
genius was evidenced in infancy. He
was taken up by the great violinist,
Divide Musin. and instructed. Musin
presented him with a 5000 ''strad, -
and gave his parents letter saying
of the lad: HE is not only a genius,
but an artist and wonder I predict
a great future for him. Thrane is
taking this phenomenal youth on his
first American tour, beginning at De-
troit, the lads home, where he made
his debut before an audience Of 5000
people. He will in the spring take him
to Europe to stand the test of the
SCFCiC Ci1tiCiSlIi VI tudl cOHUlu9nl. II.
NJ. Bosworth, the well known critic of
San Francisco, pronounces the boy a
musical phenomenon. One Eastern
critic and musician writes to California
as follows:
"The writer was also permitted to
hear him play the "Mendelssohn" Con-
certo the Musin Mazurka, Moszkows-
ky's Serenade and other numbers, and
he can add personal testimony to the
boys delightful and convincing per-
formance. 1t seems scarcely possible
that a lad in his 18th year can so truly
grasp the contents of the masters
music and SO skillfully give it express
sion"
Recently in the East Musin appeared
with Master Helmont in concert. which
was taken to be a strong Endorsement,
and it is added that the boy did not
shine less brilliantly by reason of the
contrast. All press notices of the lad
are very warm in commendation, and
express surprise at his genius. Miss
Preston is. also strongly approved as a
singer of remarkable personal magnet :
ism and wealth of rich tone, with very
broad register and a refined style.
Miss Simmons is pronounced brilliant
pianiste.
The Clunie Opera-h house was packed
last night and many were turned away
who came to see Vests big minstrel
jubilee, and the audience was not slow
in testifying frequently it's approba-
ton. The aggregation is an excellent
one and makes a remarkably Strong
combination. Jose, the phenomenal
counter tenor and the quintet that
sang with him captured the assembly
and brought out a storm of applause
Carroll Johnson. the Beau Brummel of
minstrelsy. the comedy quartet, Tom
Lewis and Trovolo, all won appreciation
in their respective work. and it is safe
to say that the company will be well
received when it visits us again.

A Splendid Showing.

Men who work from the ground up are
always good men. Those firms who stag
ger the world with their tremendous traf-
fic are usually those who had a meager
start. Five years ago last night Harry &
Apple wrote their first policy as state
agents for the Massachusetts Life Insur-
ance Company. Their beginning was slen-
der. Their growth has been phenomenal.
To-day they have in force upward of &c.
100000 in good policies, principally con-
fined to Savannah people. The Aassa-
chusetts Life is a strong company, writ
ing policies, absolutely fiawless. 1t studies
the interest of its policy holders. A short
time ago when Gen. Gordon wrote a friend
advising that he preferred the Massachu>
sets Life, he said, aside from bigger diVl
bends, the laws Of Massachusetts made
the policy incontestable after three years
and absolutely binding. Since this let
ter was written, Massachusetts has re-
moved this limit of three years and now
makes it impossible for any company writ
ing a policy, upon any preteXt, to ques-
ton or withhold payment, when no fraud
is practised by the policy holder This
gives the Massachusetts Life a great lew
erage. The simple proof of death, the re-
markable promptness of payment OF
Gains, coupled with ability of the com
pany to meet its claims, endears the COM
pany to its policy holders, and makes
working friends of them.
Since the organiza ton of the company
it has paid more than $S5, 100000 to policy
holders, and has returned in dividends 50
per cent. of the total amount TO policy
holders. It's assets Dec. 81, 1898, were $22,-

In accordance with the law of Massa,

south, was gone for a time during the
day. For awhile the line was open only
to Ways. The damage was repaired, how
ever, and communication was finally Sc
cured with Jacksonville. 1t is expected
that it will not take long to get the wires
in working order as far as Columbia, as
the track is an good condition, having suf-
fered little from the siege of weather.
Having the track and roadway intact will
admit of the repairing force getting the
telegraph lines in working order an very

noon, when they were cut off. The Geor-
gia and Alabama line Is open to Pembroke
thirty-five miles from here, but the train

Helena, its junction point with the South

the day. For a time it could get COM
munication no further south than McIn-

and last night the line was open all the
