and Mrs. Durbin, and made up of the
members of the Governors staff and
their wives and families, will reach Sa-
vannah from Jacksonville tomorrow

One member of the party at least,
its distinguished head, is not a
stranger in Savannah. When the Sew
enth Army Corps was encamped about
the city one regiment the One Hun
dred and Sixty-lrst Indiana, was com
manded by Col. Winfield T. Durbin,
and it is he who has since been eIe-
waited by the votes of his admiring fell
low citizens to the chief magistracy of
his state.
Gov. Durbin and his party have been
on a trip that has taken them as far
south as Havana and they are(flow on
their way back to Indiana They will
go from Savannah to Charleston, where
they viii spend a day or two
While here the party will take a car
r1age drive around the city and out to
Thunderbolt, on the road to which Col.
Durbin's regiment was encamped. They
will leave at midnight for Charleston
While in Savannah Col. Durbin has ex-
pressed wish to see at the De Soto,
where the party will stop, the friends
he made on his former stay in the city,
whom he now pleasantly remembers.

For of all the words of tongue or pen.
The saddest are these-It might have

words of Whittier, yet how few heed
the lesson. Many men to-day insurable,
who turn a deaf ear to the earnest and
persuasive arguments of the life agent,
find themselves on tomorrow debarred.
Many procrastinate this most important
and vital issue to whom no tomorrow
comes. Those only who realize the ter
rible mistake are the family possibly
left destitute, and the agent. Life
hangs by a very slender thread. Don't
put off the agent a moment longer; de-
lays are dangerous and procrastination
often crime. Be careful how you place
your life insurance-the welfare of
those near and dear to you depends on
it; therefore, you want the best. The
laws of Massachusetts on life insurance
are the best laws in the world. and do
more to protect policy-holders than the
laws of any other state in the Union.
We will send you, for the asking, a
sample policy and other interesting
matter of the Massachusetts, Mutual
Life Insurance Company, the leading
Massachusetts company, if you will
send your age and address. Heed the
lesson in this article and write to-day,
tomorrow may be too late. Address

KNOCKED OUT BY AUTOMOBILE
CoIOred Roy and Bicycle Caught on
Bull Street.

An automobile and bicycle collision
occurred yesterday near Bull and
Broughton streets and came near re-
sulting seriously for a negro boy who
was mounted on the wheel The front
portion of the bicycle was completely
demolished and the boy sustained
slight but painful bruises.
The accident occurred in a rather
peculiar manner and the negro on the
wheel was in no wise to blame for the
collision. He was riding south on Bull
street and the automobile was going
in the same direction, just ahead of
the bicycle rider, who was mounted on
a new wheel of the chainless pattern.
Just in front of Hirsch's cigar store
the boy got almost abreast of the au-
tomobile and the gentleman who was
running the machine decided at the
same instant to turn to his right for
the purpose of stopping at Gersts bar
Der shop. Suddenly he brought the au-
tomobile around and struck the negro
on the wheel.
The force Of the collision completely
demolished the front part of the bicy-
Gle and stopped the automobile, prob
ably saving the boy from serious in
jury The negro got up with the frag-
ments of his bicycle and beyond a few
bruises from his encounter with the as
phalt, he escaped injury. The accident
was witnessed by quite a number of
spectators who stated that the bicycle
rider had not been careless and was
in no manner to blame for the acct
dent. 1t is not probable that the gen.
tleman who was opera ting the automo-
bile. which is the property of the Sa-
vannah Electric Company, will be
placed on the docket, but a request will
be made for the payment of the dam
age caused by the collision.

WIRES WERE ALL DOWN.
TeIcgrnms to New York Yesterday
Went Via Chicago.

kilograms to and from New York
yesterday went via Chicago, and but
for the fact that it was holiday there
would have been considerable incon-
venience. AS it was there were no mar
ket quotations and the business of a
telegraphic sort with New York was of
a transient nature.
The wires between Washington and
New York went down, making ii neces-
sary to send all communications from
the south over the Western circuit. For
the reason that the markets were all
closed the trouble with the wires was
not noticeable in Savannah. During the
evening some of the wires had been got
ten in place. but they did not work
well at the start. The damage done
by the storm will be remedied to-day
and everything will be in shape for
the opening of the markets in the
morning

HOLIDAY QUIETLY SPENT.
Absence of Military Made a Big Diff
ference in savannah.


ference in savannah.
The quietest Washington's birthday
in recent years was spent in Savannah
yesterday. The celebration of the birth
of the revolutionary chieftain, and first
President of the United States, was OBJ
served by the public buildings, but
there was no public demonstration.
The absence of the military was no.
ticeable, and with others who went to
Charleston the population of the city
was greatly decreased. Because the
holiday came on Saturday the retail
houses remained open, although quite
a number of them were short on clerks
because Of the Charleston trip. The
clerks in some of the railroad offices
were given the entire day and the
down town ticket offices closed for the
afternoon.
Those who desired to get money from
the banks, and school children, were
probably more impressed with the fact
that it was a legal holiday than any
body else. The banks were all closed
and the fact that one had a deposit or
q certified check made but little differ
ence as far as getting hold of the act
ual money was concerned. The day was
particularly noticeable to the school
children who deplored the fact that it
was Saturday, a regular holiday for
them, for the reason that ii cut them
cut of an extra day from school. They
would have much rather had it fall on
another day so that the celebration
would have been on a school day.
The City Exchange, Cotton Ex-
change, Board of Trade and Custom
House and courts were closed, and
holiday hours were observed at the
postoffice. The day is usually cele-
brated in an appropriate manner by
the military companies and their alb
sence from the city made the day an
altogether tame one.
The only amusement offered to those
who had been given the day off was
THE School for Scandal" as inter
preted by Mr.. Mclean and Miss Tyler
A large audience witnessed the pro-
duction at the matinee performance
and late in the afternoon there was
a large number of people on the
streets for the first time during the
day.
