CHASED JUROR FROM CELL.
Insane Negro Woman Created Ex
citement Mt the Jail.

There were two trials for lunacy
before a jury from the Court of Ordi-
nary. held at the county Jail yester-
day afternoon. The subjects of the in
quiry were both negro women, one of
whom was found to be insane and her
detention in the State Sanitarium di-
rected by the jury. The other woman
was found to be suffering from physi
cal rather than mental complaints and
was directed sent to the Georgia In
firmary for treatment.
The insane woman was Eliza Vaus,
a negress about 30 years old. She was
violent even in the presence of the
jury. She pulled off her shoes and
preached the jurors a sermon while
they were inspecting her in her cell
and wound up her declamatory efforts
by making a wild grab for Juror John
Dinan and chasing that excited and
justly frightened individual out into
the corridor. Juror Dinan gave his vote
for insanity with profound conviction.
eThe other woman. Lena Harris. was
found not insane. She is, however in
"a distressing condition of physical
health and the jury thought she would
recover If sent to the Georgia Infirm-
ary. This recommendation, therefore,
was made part of the finding.

A few thoughts for the fond father
Suppose the reaper Death should call
you out this week? Suppose one OF
the many maladies which have taken
away your friends should claim you
for its victim.
Who would feed, clothe and school
your boy?
What would your good wife do?
Perhaps your little one is girl
or maybe you have several little darl-
ings to keep sunshine and happiness
in your home?
Take a mirror and look yourself
scuarely in the face, honestly and
thoughtfully.
Don't you think it good judgment
to carry life insurance? You will be
contented and your family better pro-
vided for. Under most of our poll
cies you do not have to die to win, but
as you must die, why not win?
Our agency alone of the Massachu-
sets Mutual Life has over four mil
lion of dollars of reliable insurance
on the lives of other prudent men and
women. Why not on yours?
Send your age and address for g
sample policy showing exactly whai
we can do in your particular case.

TO BURN AND TO ROB.
Miscreants Made Descent Upon

Mlscreants Made Descent Upon
John TOOmer's House.
John Toomer, the colored porter in
the Office of the director of public
works, at the City Exchange, was the
victim of incendiary robbers night be-
fore last. When he reached his house,
No 619 Duffy street, west, at about 1880
o'clock. his wife told him that some
one had ripped off a piece of the
Notwithstanding and stuffed into the
crevice a quantity of rags and infiam-
mable material. Toomer went out to
investigate, remaining about three min
utes and making an examination of
the very evident work of would-be in
cendiaries.
Toomer then returned to the front
of the house, intending to re-enter. He
had left the latch off, and before he
reached the door two negro men ran
out Through the open door Toomer
saw blaze within. A fire had been
started in his parlor and the room was
soon ablaze. Shouts gathered the neigh
bors and the flames were extinguished,
though not until after they had done
considerable damage. Toomer esti-
mates his loss at about $3.50. He says
the men were concealed in the house.
The case was reported to the police.
The men had stolen clothing from the
house.

Mr.. Montgomery is young man
OF untarnished character and envia-
BILE reputation, while the young
girl he has won is one of the purest
and gentlest of spirits; and If good
wishes and affectionate reinem-

a hope that these young lives may
be so imbued and strengthened by
the Spirit of Christ and the con-
solutions of our holy religion that
amid every storm the rainbow of
hope may encircle their horizon and
lead them to the haven of rest.
