Which Is Most Urgent.
Life or Fire insurance.

You fully realize that both are, and
would not allow your house to remain
uninsured over night, and yet you say
that you intend to insure your life aft
er awhile when "a little better off. -
Your house may never burn; compare
lively few buildings ever do, but you
will surely die; all men do. You are
more likely to die within a week or a
year, than your house is to burn. If
your house does burn, your property is
destroyed, but you can still provide for
your loved ones. Your income remains
unaffected, your earning capacity I'M
impaired. Death destroys at once and
irrevocably, in whole or in part, the in
come that provided for the daily wants
of those you love, the income that was
counted on tc feed and clothe and ed
ucate your children. If your house is
not insured at all, or for an insufficient
amount, you carry the risk. If your
life is not insured at all, or for an in
sufficient amount, your wife and babies
carry the risk Which is most urgent?

THE MORMON LITERATURE.
Elders Ask Permission to Sell on the
Streets.

In pushing their propaganda in Sa-
vannah, the Mormon elders desire to
sell their literature. The Mormon
Church has strict business system,
and does not believe in giving away
that for which price can be obtained.
There is nothing to prevent their Civ
ing away all the literature they please,
but to sell on the streets they muAs
have a license. Either they are UNI
willing to pay for license or fear a
refusal If they should apply for one at
the treasurer's office.
The following petition to sell litera-
ture on the streets is now on file in
the Mayors office:
ITO the Honorable Mayor and Alder
men of the City of Savannah: Gentle
men. AS an ambassador, and in the in
terest of the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter Day Saints I respectfully
ask that our elders, who represent our
cause in this city, be permitted to sell
at cost price our literature, consist
ing of small books, perhaps more ap-
propriately called tracts.
These sell for the small sum of 10
cents each, the cost of publication. The
sale of these little books will not in
terfere with the business interests of
any firm or individual in this city, as
they are handled exclusively by, our
itinerate opponents"
The petition goes on to state that
the elders, in holding their street meet
ings. are occasionally asked for liter
allure setting forth their tenets, but
desiring to be law-abiding, they have
dessted from making sales.
This city is but one of the few
cities where the Stars and Stripes are
floating that we are denied this privi-
lege," says the petition in conclusion,
land we hope our entreaties will not
be ignored, but that we shall receive
the object of our petition
The petition is signed by Elder j.
A. Sorrenson, 1877 Habersham street.
The petition will come before Council
in the regular order of business We'd
nesday night and will be referred to
some committee for renOrt

THE STORM HEARD FROM.
Is still lowering in the Gulf, Where
All shipping Is Threatened.

The Cuban storm that was reported
several days ago to be moving this
way, and which has, in consequence,
caused considerable interest in Savan-
nah, still fingers in the Gulf, where 1t
will make shipping unsafe for the next
several days.
The weather bureau yesterday after
noon received the following informa-
ton concerning 1t: Tropical storm has
apparently recurved over Yucatan
channel into Gulf, and is likely to move
slowly northward. Considered unsafe
for vessels bound across the Gulf"
The temperature yesterday, though
lower than that of the past few days,
was still above the normal. The maxi
mum was So degrees, and the minimum
but 10 degrees lower. This gives to the
day a mean of SO degrees, 6 above the
normal, and increases the monthly eX-
cess to So degrees, and reduce the de-
ficiency of the year to 297. The rain
fall for the month shows a deficiency
of 1928 inches and that of the year a
shortage of S.26.
The state forecast to-day is for rain,
and fresh winds, mostly northeast to
east

SANITARIUM TOOK HER.
Miss Georgia Lee Being Treated
There Now for Dementia.

Ihere NOW for Demeut1a.
Miss Georgia Lee, the young trained
nurse, who was brought to Savannah
from Liberty county, suffering from
dementia, mention of which was made
in the Morning News, was sent to the
Park View Sanitarium for treatment
yesterday morning. Miss Lee spent a
restless night at the police station
house, but her condition improved af-
ter her arrival at the sanitarium.
The story of Miss Lees affection, as
given in the Morning News, attracted
the attention of DR.. ]. w. Daniels of
the sanitarium staff, and he telephoned
to Superintendent Reilly that he would
accept the young woman as a patient.
The physician stated that the circum-
stances had not been made clear to
him, or Miss Lee would have been ac-
cepted when first offered as a patient
The young nurse was sent to the
hospital in the police ambulance, and
her attending physician is of the opin-
ion that she will recover her mental
faculties in due time. She was quiet
during the day and was reported as
resting comfortably last night Super
intendent Reilly made no official report
of the case to Mayor Myers, because
of the fact that the sanitarium agreed
to receive Miss Lee.

UNION MEMORIAL SERVICES.
To BE Held In the Church of the As
censiOn and Christ Church.

Memorial services for the late Presi-
dent Mckinley will be held by the Sa-
vanuah churches generally day after
tomorrow. in accordance with the
proclamation of President Roosevelt,
and the expressed wish of the Mayor
and Council.
The congregations of all of the
churches, other than the Roman Cath
Ole and the Episcopal. will meet in the
Lutheran Church of the Ascension.
where services will be conducted at IL
o'clock a. m. by Rev. Dr. w. c. Schaef-
fer pastor. assisted by the ministers OF
the churches represented in the meet
ing. 1t is probable that there will be
appropriate music rendered by the joint
choirs, but this matter. as well as the
programme, will not be arranged until
later.
In the Roman Catholic Churches
there will he no special memorial SER
vices, but il is probable that at the
usual daily services the congregations
will be asked to remember the dead
President in their prayers, as was
done Sunday at the Cathedral of st.
John the Baptist.
The congregations of the four Epis-
copal churches viii hold o joint SER
vice at Christ Church at IL o'clock
which will be conducted by Rev. NJ
Campbell Stryker.
Because of the fact that there is a
great deal of interest in the matter. and
a very general desire on the part of the
people that these services should rep
resent the sentiment of the city, ii is
probable that they will be largely at
tended.

Montgomery street line, collided with
considerable force at Oglethorpe ave

ter o'clock last night. Sam Brooks,
a negro passenger on the East and

lice ambulance to the Georgia Intirm-
airy for treatment.
Both cars were going north, with the
East and West car in the lead The
Montgomery street car turns in at
Broughton street. and was following
closely behind the belt line car, which
was going at very rapid rate of
speed. Conductor Virgins and Motor
man Grooms were in charge of the
front car which was brought to a sud-
den stop at Oglethorpe avenue. Motor
man Hussey of the rear car tried 20
bring his car to a standstill, but was
unable to do so in time to prevent a
collision. The grade at that part of
West Broad street is downward, and
the dew made the track slippery.
The Montgomery street car struck
the one in front with much force JOLT
ing the passengers and damaging the
platforms of both cars. Brooks was on
the rear platform of the belt line car
and was thrown violently against the
seat. He was injured in the small of
the back and suffered much pain from
his injury. At the Infirmary it was be-
lieved that he had been injured inter
nally. None of the other passengers
was hurt and neither of the cars had
to be sent to the shops. Those on the
cars were badly shaken, but the negro
Brooks was the only one who was
bruised The accident did not cause any
great delay in the schedules of the two
lines,

MnIinda MAXWELL Must Answer for
Killing Matilda Montgomery.

The coroner's jury last night held
Malinda Maxwell for the murder or
Matilda Montgomery. on Arnold and
Liberty streets, early Sunday morn"
ing. An account of the homicide was
published in the Morning News at the
time. -
Some half dozen witnesses were eX-
amined, and the evidence was such as
to warrant the holding of the prisoner
for the higher grade of homicide. James
McCabe, a young white man, swore
that he saw the Montgomery woman
strike Malinda with a chair, but not
until she had been cursed and threat
ened by the woman with the knife.
Young McCabe heard the profanity
used by Malinda but did not hear
what Matilda said in reply. He saw
the Maxwell woman make several
vicious strikes with her knife.
Rebecca Francis, colored, who had
been with the Montgomery woman just
before the homicide, testified that Ma
linda cursed Matilda and followed her
with the open knife. The witness did
not see the homicide. Sidney Johnson,
also colored, was on the south side OF
Liberty street and saw the cutting.

w. H. Milton, colored saw the Mont
govery woman strike Malinda with
chair, but did not witness the cutting.
He took the chair from the sidewalk,
where it was dropped, and went into
his store without witnessing the cut
ting. Joe Lane, colored, heard the
Maxwell woman cursing just before
the homicide, but did not see the
knife used. Detective Frank Wall
told of the arrest of the woman, 'and
of her claim that she had been struck
on the head. The officer found no
wounds on the prisoner. The Max
well woman was committed to jail last
