Keeping Their Secrets.

The Bishop and his cabinet are
keeping the appointments very
close. No preacher has any intima-
ton as to what his fate may be as
to work next year. He knows if
he has had four years in his pres
eut field that he must pack up and
move, but where he is to be sent is
a mystery which he can not solve.
It is we'll, because there can then
be no kicking in advance.

TO REDEEM POSTAL CARDS.
Department VIII Give stamps to
Three-FOurths of Value.

An order providing for the redemp-
ton of unserviceable postal cards at
IS per cent. of their face value has
been sent out by the department. 1t
has been received at other offices, but
for some reason not yet by the office
at Savannah. The order is as follows:
1T is hereby ordered that on and
after Aug. 1, 1902. postmasters at all
postoffices shall redeem, in postage
stamps or other stamped paper only,
and from the original purchasers, un-
cancelled and unserviceable postal
cards at rs per cent of their face value
Parts or pieces of cards will not be
redeemed; nor will cards which have
been treated by bronzing. enameling
or other process of coating be redeem
ed under the provisions of this order"
The innovation is of particular value
to the firms and individuals who are
accustomed to have postal cards print
ed in large quantities to serve a spe-
cial need and find afterwards that the
supply has been greater than was
necessary. Without such an order as
has just been issued by the depart
ment and there has been none UP to
the present time, the postals with their
printed faces were a dead loss to the
concern,

ARTERY SEVERED IN FIGHT.
Sam Patterson MurderousIy Assaults
Robert Bush-Both Are CoIored

Sam Patterson MurderOusIy Assaults
Robert Bush-Both Are CoIored.
Robert Bush, a negro, was severely
cut and dangerously wounded shortly
before o'clock last night in a fight
with Sam Patterson, another negro
on Bryan and West Broad streets
The negroes got into an alteration,
and a lively fight ensued. Patterson
drew a knife and rushed at the other
man, saying that he would kill him.
He made several vicious thrusts and
one blow struck Bush on the left tenn
pie in front of the ear. One of the
arteries was severed and the man fell
to the ground grooming with pain.
Patterson then started to run away
Patrolman)r j. H. w. Umbach was
walking towards the fleeing negro, and
thinking that something was wrong
the policeman intercepted Patterson.
He was taken back to the scene Of
the assault and the Policeman found
Bush lying on the street in pool of
blood. The wounded man was so
weak from the loss of blood that he
could hardly talk, but when he saw
Patterson he pointed an accusing fin
ger at him.
Sam Walker and Henry Wilson were
eye witnesses to the assault and they
related what had happened to Police
man Umbach
DR.. Johnson, a colored physician, was
in the vicinity and he attempted to
stanch Bush's wounds. Blood was
flowing in torrent from the wound in
his forehead and it looked as thought
the man would bleed to death. DR..
Heriot was summoned and he arrived
promptly. He applied a salt solution to
the severed artery and the flow of blood
was stanched in time to save Bush's
life. The wound in Bush's head is
great jagged cut and considerable diff
ficulty was experienced by DIR. Herio1
in sewing it up. The negro will prob
ably live unless a secondary hemmor-
hage sets in.
The half dead man was removed to
his home at No. 500 Olive street and
Patterson was locked up charged with
attempted murder.

CHILDREN TO HAVE HOME.
Judge Barrow Took Them From
Custody of Both Parents.

Judge Barrow Took Them From
Custody of Both Parents.
A hearing in the alimony case of
Lizzie Johnson against Isaac Johnson,
was had in the Superior Court before
Judge Barrow yesterday. The parties
are colored
The principal outcome of the hear
ing was the violent attack made by
each of the parties on the character
of the other. The wife and her wit
nesses swore that the husband was
brutal jealous and cruel, parsimonious
in matters small and great, while the
husband swore with equal force and
even violence of diction that the wife
was lazy, quarrelsome and unchaste.
Judge Barrow decided under the cir
cumstances that neither parent was a
fit and proper guardian for the two
children and directed that they be
placed in charge of the Haven Home,
on Anderson street. The father was
instructed to pay IS a month to the Of
ficers of the home for the support of
each of his children.
The wife will get no alimony for
herself, though her attorney, Jacob
Gazan, will receive SIS. The defendant
was represented by N. L. G.. Harvey.

HOW CARS WILL RUN.
When improvements Contemplated
by the Company Are Made.


by the Company Are Made.
Broughton street merchants will be
well pleased with the changes that viii
be made by the Savannah Electric
Company next fall, when. if 1t accepts
the street grant made by Council, ad-
ditional tracks will be laid and curves
will be established to afford additional
connections. The benefit to the
Broughton street merchants will con-
sist in the many more cars that will
pass before their doors. They have
long wanted cars from the sections in
which the most important shoppers
dwell to pass their doors, but the sys-
of it.
When the changes are made there will
be cars from all the lines, save the
East and West Broad belt passing on
Broughton street between Whitaker
and Barnard. Only Thunderbolt and
Habersham street cars pass on that
section of Broughton now.
West End cars now run to the City
Market, and so do Battery Park and
Montgomery street cars. The West End
cars, under the change, VIII run
through the market to Whitaker
street. on Whitaker to Broughton, to
West Broad. Battery Park and Mont
gomery cars will run around the mar
ket to Whitaker, to Broughton, to
West Broad. Northbound Whitaker
street cars will run to Broughton, to
BARNARD, to the Bay. returning, south
ward, straight out Whitaker, probably
cutting out the extended run on Bay
to Abercorn, which General Man
ager Nagle says is Improbable Aber-
corn Barnard cars will run, north
bound on Barnard, around the mar
ket, as at present. into Bay. South
bound Barnard cars, however, will
turn into Whitaker at Bay street, run
on Whitaker to BrougRton and on
Broughton to Barnard.
This system, Mr. Maggie thinks, will
be great improvement over the pres
ent. The curve around the market
affords much trouble for the Aber-
corn Barnard line. 1t takes seven and
half minutes, he says, for two cars
to get over the single track, going in
opposite directions. Bay and Whita-
ker and Barnard and Broughton are,
approximately, the meeting places for
the cars, under the present schedules,
and these meeting places are much
closer together than any others on the
line.
Mr.. Nagle said that it will take some
time to get the material for the i'm
provements, and that work on them
can scarcely begin before November.

THUNDERB0LT'S GALA DAY.
Successful Balloon Ascension Prom.
ised--Othcr Attractions.

This Sunday promises to be a gala
day at Thunderbolt, and a successful
balloon ascension is guaranteed The
ascension will be followed by a daring
parachute leap.
Prof. w. NJ. Phillips of Jacksonville,
a celebrated aeronaut who has
never failed in his balloon ex-
hibitions, will make the attempt
tomorrow at Thunderbolt, and he has
brought with him his own special ap-
paratus for initiating the balloon with
hot air. Prof. Phillips has given SEN
sational exhibitions in several large
Southern cities. He has never had any
great difficulty in getting his balloon
to go up, and when high in the air
he jumps from the basket with the
parachute spread over his head.
The "Polyscope" moving pictures will
also be one of the attractions at Thun-
derbolt to-day. All of the views are
new ones and large number will be
displayed.
The First Regiment Band will give
concerts at the Casino in the after
noon and evening. An extensive pro-
gramme, containing many popular
numbers, has been prepared, and some
fine music is promised
1t is expected that one of the larg-
est crowds of the season will visit
Thunderbolt to-day and the railroad
company will run extra cars all day.

Six members of the police force, most
of them men with excellent records,
will be dropped from the rolls to-mor
row. This was decided yesterday
morning at a conference held in the
Mayors office, at which Mayor Myers,
Superintendent Reilly, one or two
members of the Police Committee of
Council and one or two others were
present.
1t was strictly a star chamber pro-
ceeding. Strict injunctions were given
that no intruders were to be allowed,
and viligant guard was maintained
at the doors.
The men who get the ak are PATROL
men E. ]. Coffee, Frank ]. Smith, Will
liam ]. Lovett, j. H. w. Umbach,
Joshua W. Woods and William F.
Crosby. Their politics was wrong"
declared one of those interested in the
conference. "They sympathized too
strongly with the Union Club move
ment. The best results for the city
cannot be secured when men in it's
employ are not in harmony with the
administration
Politics, therefore, seems to have
been the reason that the patrolmen
were fired. No charges of any sort
had been preferred against them, and
they have been generally considered
good men.
Alderman Schroeder of the Police
Committee was not present at the con-
ference, and he knew nothing about
it until the afternoon. He said he was
surprised, as he knew most of the men
discharged to be faithful officers with
good records.
Ten vacancies will exist with the
dropping of the six men named. The
other four vacancies were created by
the death of Robert O'Keefe, the res
ignation of H. Rauzin and the dismiss
sal of E. j. Limehouse and G. S. God
bold. Appointments to fill the posi-
lions will be as follows: Barlow Da-
Wis, E. P. Phillips, Joseph Shatz, L.
Kelly, John Kelly, c. S. Waters, P. P.
Brazell, C. S. Shea, James McGrath
and w. D. burden. All of these are
administration men.
A member of the Police Committee
was asked why the six petrolmen are
to be dropped. They were fired to
make way for better men, he replied.
The men to be discharged had not
received notices last night. Some of
them declined to discuss the matter,
as they had heard nothing officially.

CERTAINTY VS.. UNCERTAINTY.
The Advantage of Annual Dividends
in Life Insurance Over the ATon-
ffneo or Deferred dividend plan

The Advantage of Annual Dividends
in Life Insurance Over the "Ton-
tine or Deferred Dividend Plan.
Annual dividends are like the old
story, "A bird in the hand is worth
two in the BUSH" With annual div
idends there is no uncertainty, and
whether the dividends be applied to
reduction or premium, making the in
surance cost less, or the purchase of
additions to the policy, thereby in
creasing the insurance, the policy
holder is sure of what he has got, and
it cannot be taken from him nor be
eaten up by future expenses, or in
the payment of enormous commissions
and bonuses to agents to induce them
to push the 'tontine" game. The "es-
Inmates" of future "tontine" results
are promises to the ear to be broken
to the heart. They are reducing year
by year, and none of the figures of
surplus to be paid at the end of the
period are as large now as a few years
ago. 1t is poor judgment to go into
business with any one for twenty
years, allow them to handle all the
funds, regulate salaries and all other
expenditures, and accept their word
as final at the end of the period as
to how much or how little is coming
to you. That is what you do when
you take a ''Tontine," or deferred div
idend policy. When the argument of
size is brought forward and the be-
wildering array of figures is dwelt up
on to induce the admiration of the I'M
initiated, look for the liabilities. Many
a company with smaller assets is just
as strong, has just as many dollars
of assets to liabilities. Size is not al
ways an indication of strength. Re
member that David slew Goliath.
The law of Massachusetts, has many
advantageous features, provides
guarantee cash surrender for every
year lightning with the third, strin-
gently regulates the payment of divi-
dends, and looks we'll after the safety
and stability of her companies. The
Massachusetts Mutual is the leading
Massachusetts company, organized 1851,
writes fair and square, easily under
stood policy contract, and enjoys the
hearty Endorsement of every man who
is insured in it. We will take pleasure
