GATE CITY NOT INSURED.
But the Company Has n Large In
surance Fund of Its own.

Savannahians are awaiting with much
anxiety the fate of the steamship Gate
City, which lies stranded off the coast of
Long Island. The steamship, though one
of the Oldest, Is one of the most popular
of the Savannah liners and there would
be general regret should the efforts for
her rescue meet with failure
The Ocean Steamship Company does not
insure the vessels of its fleet, having
adopted the policy some time ago of carry
Ing its own insurance. President II. M
Conner said yesterday that while the COM
pany does not insure its vessels 1t has an
insurance account and the amount to the
credit of this account is more than SUM-
eient to replace the Gate City, IL this
should prove necessary, with much
finer ship.
Il Is probable that only portion of the
Gate City's cargo was covered by insur-
ance. The company carries a floating
policy for cargoes, which applies how
ever, only to freight from competitive
points for which special bills of lading,
including insurance are issued.

ENHANCING ITS OFFICE.
Bell Telephone Co. Fixing Up Hand
some Quarters Here.

The Savannah office of the Southern
Bell Telephone Company is being com
pletely remodeled. Work has just COM
meneed and 1t will be several weeks before
it is finished 1t is said there will be no
more handsome an office in the city when
the alterations are made.
The company is particularly DESTROYS of
providing attractive booths for long dis
tance conversations and handsome recep-
ton rooms for those desiring to hold
them. The partition that separated the
bicycle store from the office of the Savan-
nah exchange is being torn away thereby
charging the Office and affording sufficient
room for carrying out the idea for the ac-
commodation of patrons Of the long dis
lance lines.
Three booths will be arranged along one
side of the enlarged office, and the recep-
ton room will be Handsomely fitted up ana
separated from the rest of the office by
brass railing. The booths viii be con-
structed of rosewood and no effort will be
spared to make the office attractive. The
desk of the manager and a cage for the
cashier will occupy the rocm. and the ac-
counts will also be kept at the bool1keep-
ers' desk at one side.
March ! a change will be made in the
mana cement. Al MS own request NAH
ager A. ]. Maxwell will he put in charge
of the outside traffic of the company in
Savannah. There are many things de-
manding the attention of such an officer.
and Mr. Maxwell will doubtless be able to
perform his duties to the entire satisfac-
ton of the company, as has been the case
during his term as manager Of the Savan-
nah exchange.
1t is not yet known who viii be Mr..
NIaxwelrs successor. The announcement
has not come from headquarters. 1t is
understood, however, that someone will be
named who is now in the service of the
company though not in Savannah. The
custom is. when possible, to make promo
tons from among the company's employees.

THE TELFAIR HOSPITAL.
Work of the Institution for 1890
Reviewed.

The annual report of the Telfair Hospit-
al has just been issued. 1t makes an ex-
cellent showing of the work of the hos
pitaL
The following extracts from the report
of the president, Mrs. Louisa p Minis, are
of interest
'The year 1898 was a year of anxious
management and economy in the Telfair
Hospital-owing to smallness of income
(from unrented property and our losses by
Central Railroad). If the city had not
made us a small donation of $4l2.52 the
trustees would have been obliged to close
the hospital for four instead of two months
in the summer. This dona ton and the for
giving us of $3.50 paving bill in 1899, repre-
sents the entire amount ever received from
the municipality or community since the
hospital was opened, with the exception of
$500 in 1897 from Benevolent Association.
1.-THE present matron, Miss Eleanor
Wimbush, took charge of the hospital at
the opening of 1893 on the marriage and re-
tirement of Miss X. Short The children's
ward has been open for three years. Boys
are also admitted up to the age of 7, and
older at discretion of house physician and
matron. In the summer Of 1899 a cottage
was built in the southwest corner of hos
pital grounds containing a sitting room and
three new bedrooms for nurses This had
long been desired. as when Off duty the
nurses had no sitting room or place where
their friends could be received
other than the beard room of the
hospital. The new bed rooms were neces-
sary because the increasing work of the
h0SDital called tO
ing staff, and for three years the trustees
had been greatly hampered by lack Of
proper accommodations"
The financial statement shows the dis
bursements of the hospital to have been
81, 1868 in 1898 and SS.2j2.03 in 1889 The re-
ceipts were very slightly in excess of the
disbursements.
The annual report Of DR.. T. P. Waring,
the superintendent. states that there was
a gratifying increase during the year both
in the number of patients admitted and
the number of major surgical operations
performed. The number of patients adj
mitted was 2G4 of whom eighty were pay
patients, giving an average of about
twenty patients a month which is about
the capacity of the present building OF
the 204 cases 10i were medical and 100
surgical cases. There were eleven deaths
during the year or about per cent of
patents admitted. The days of hospital
care were 1,2S6 for pay patients and IAN
for free patients, making a total of S697
hospital days.
Though considerable money has been
generously spent by the management upon
internal improvements during the last
two years" says DR.. Warlng. 'neVerthe
less there Is stnl considerable to be done,
and / hope the trustees viii find a way to
raise the necessary funds so the work can
be done during the coming summer
MONTHS
The board Of trustees of the institution
consists of the following ladies' Louisa P.
Minis, Sarah ]. Owens, Julia Macleod, Jes-
sic Chisholm, Susan b. w, Gilbert, Mary
w. Haskell, Emma p Hopkins, Sarah
Screven Harriet s. Saussy. Mrs. Minis
is president and Mrs Gilbert secretary.

RoURKE GETS The TOWER.
The Work of Removal VIII Begin
Next Week.

The contract for removing the old water
tower in Franklin Square was awarded
yesterday by the Committee on Water TO
John Rourke & Sons, who agree to pay 1865
for the privilege. There were five bids,
Mr.. Rourke's being the highest. The 9TH
ers were the Domestic Coal and Wood
Company $500. ]. D. Weed & Co, $40, j.
D. Gould & Co., $3.50, Bloomenfeld & Co.
$10250. The contract requires the tower
to be removed within sixty days. Mr..
Rourke proposes to begin work next week.
The big iron tank on top of the tower will
first be taken to pieces and lowered to the
ground. after which Mr.. Rourke will turn
the brick work over to another party 10
whom he has already disposed of this
part of the contract
Mr.. Rourke had some fun with his
friends who wanted to know what he
intended doing with his bargain. To sucl
questions he replied that it was a mistake
about the city's requiring the removal Of
the tower and that he intended to cut it up
into flats. 1t was suggested to him, how
ever, hat he might find it more profitable
to fit up the tower as variety theater
with roof garden on top.

before the Tomochichi Club is opened 1t

those engaged in the work have found it
required more time than they had thought.

spellbound as she gazed at it. Itsawful
possibilities began slowly to develop in
her mind, and she asked breathlessly:
"What would happen if you Were to

emma would lie in ruins and possibly
the Whole Austrian empire and perhaps
some adjoining countries would become
mass of impalpable dust 1t may be
that the world itself would dissolve l
cannot tell what the magnitude of the
result might be, for have not dared to
risk the experiment. /"
''Oh, this is too frightful to think
about = she cried "You must destroy
the machine, professor. and you must
never make another.
"Whatl And give up the hope TINT
my name will descend to posteritv %
professor Seigfried, when once this
machine becomes known to the world
there will be no posterity for your name
to descend to. With the present hatred
of nation against nation, with different
countries full of those unimprisoned
maniacs whom we call iingoes-men
preaching the hatred of one people
against another-how long do you think
the world will last when once such
knowledge is abroad in it?
The professor looked longingly at the
machine he had so slowly and painfully
constructed
1T would be of much use to human
ity if it Were but benevolently en-
ployed. With the coalfelds everywhere

Jennie earnestly, when the Lord per-
mits Il knowledge of that machine to
become common property it is his will

The professor said nothing, but stood
with deeply wrinkled brow, gazing
earnestly at the mechanism. In his
hand was the hammer head which he
had previously given to the girl. His
arm Went up and down as if he were
estimating its weight. Then suddenly,
without a word of warning, he raised
it and sent it crashing through the ma
chine, whose splintering glass fell with
a musical tinlzle on the floor
Jennie gave startled cry, and with
low moan the professor struggled to
