one-sixteenth of an inch, thousand

A prominent gentleman of this city.
who is noted for his prudence and
careful business methods, remarked to
friend recently: You know, it is
an awful hard matter to accumulate
much money by saving bank deposit.
The temptation to draw 1t out on the
slightest provocation is so great that
one does not realize the old saying
that it is not what you earn that
makes you rich, but what you save
but 1 have discovered an excellent
method which combines not only the
savings bank features, but what is
more important, perfect and prudent
protection for my family should I die.
I have recently taken my fifth policy
in the Massachusetts, Mutual, and
while I make it a rule to lay aside
some of my savings each month, I find
from the cash values and the dividends
that are to my credit on my Massa-
chusetts Mutual policies, that I have
more money saved than in any other
way"
This is actual experience and we
would like To demonstrate it to you
also. Send us your age and address
and we will take pleasure in showing
you this excellent and practical me-
thod of saving. Address postffice box

HOSPITAL SHAKE-UP
HOUSE SURGEON OF SAVANNAH
HOSPITAL REMOVED.
LETTER FROM DR.. CHARLTON
ADMITS DISCOURTEoUS TREAT
MENT OF SHELDON PARTY.

House Surgeon McLaws Succeeded
Temporarily by DIR. Jabez Jones.
Letters Addressed by President
George J. Mills to Mrs. Schwab
and Col. cation by
Board of Trustees of Hospital Re
suited in Proof of the Charges
Made by Mrs. Schwab.
AS a result of the investigation by
the trustees of the Savannah Hospi-
tai of the charges of discourteous con-
duct by the hospital employees, caus-
ing the removal of Edward B. Sheldon,
the New York millionaire banker, TO
st. Joseph's Hospital, House Surgeon
r. NJ. McLaws has been temporarily
succeeded by DR.. Jabez Jones, and the
following letter has been furnished the
Morning News by DR.. T. ]. Charlton:
Editor Morning News: The letter
published in the Morning News of
March 10, with my signature attached,
was based on what 1 had reason to be-
Heve reliable authority.
1 regret to say that in view of later
evidence my authority proved unre-
liable, and thus / was the cause of in
justice being done to Mrs. Schwab and
party.
Having published my letter 1 desire
to publish this, my apology to Mrs.
Schwab and party, and to say that in
my opinion there was just cause for
the claim of discourtesy while in the
hospital. While this discourtesy was
beyond my power to prevent at the
time, 1 have taken such steps as to
render its recurrence impossible.
Thomas ]. Charlton,
Superintendent Savannah Hospital.
March 81, 1903.
Yesterday morning President George
j. Mills of the Savannah Hospital adj
dressed letter to Mrs. Gustav Schwab
and another to Col. G.. Arthur Cor
don, who, at the instance of Mrs. w.
w. Gordon, friend of the Sheldons,
caused complaint to be lodged with
the board of trustees. Mr.. Mills would
not give out the contents of the let
tiers, but it is understood they are in
substance the same as DR.. Charlton's
letter to the Morning News. Mrs.
Schwab declined to make any fur
Their statement or to say what Presi-
dent Mills had written her. She an
nounced that the matter was in the
hands of Col. Gordon.
Col. Gordon is out of the city and
did not receive the letter addressed to
him. 1t is believed, however, that so
far as the complaint is concerned, the
matter is at an end. The charge that
there had been discourteous treatment
of the Sheldon party was established, a
public apology has been made, and
changes have taken place at the hospi-
tai. This, it would appear, will end
the matter, although it is expected Col.
Gordon will make some statement upon
his return to the city. Dr. Jones, who
was formerly house surgeon of the
hospital, will act until permanent APP
pointment has been made. 1t is under
stood that other changes will be made
in the hospital force.

GASOLINE IN FLAMES
FIRE THREATENED LEoPoLD's BIZ

BOY STEPPED ON MATCt
AND IGNITED TEN GALLON TANK
OF GASOLINE.

With Aid of Garden Hose Mr.. Leo

Arrival of the Fire DEPARTING MT.
Blazing Gasoline Set Fire to Win
dOws on Second Floor and Melted
the Tank on an AutOmObiIe-Ne-
gro Who Stepped on Match Had n
Close Call.
BY the accidental tgniting of a par
lor match that had been carelessly
dropped within a foot of a tank con-
tanning ten gallons of gasoline, what
came near being a serious fire occur
red shortly after o'clock last night
in the rear of w. Hamp Leopold's au-
tomobile and bicycle store, No. 446
Drayton street.
In an instant the gasoline was burn
ing fiercely and the surrounding prop
erty was in danger. Mr.. Leopold did
what he could to extinguish the flames
with the aid of a garden hose, and an
alarm of fire was sounded from box
SO, at Taylor and Drayton streets. The
apparatus from the Central Station and
from Station No. responded, and the
firemen prevented the spread Of the
flames.
w. H. Naylor, a negro employe. had
close call. He stepped on a match
in the doorway of the automobile
house. An automobile was about a
foot away and the gasoline tank on
the machine had been leaking. The
burning match ignited the gasoline on
the floor and before Naylor could do
anything the stream of fire had reach
ed the tank on the automobile. The
top of the tank blew off, and the ne
gro was slightly burned.
With the bursting of the tank ten
gallons of gasoline ran wild and for a
few minutes made the place a furnace.
The flames melted the tank and shot
as high as the second story. Naylor
had become badly frightened and ran
from the place, shouting fire. When
the apparatus first reached the place
1t looked as If there was going to be
an ugly blaze. AS it was the loss
amounted to only about 500, and is
covered by insurance.
Two arrests were made during the
fire at the instance of the firemen. w.
H. Doughty, negro employed as a
driver by the Branch Estate, was
charged with driving over the depart
ment's hose. Complaint was lodged at
police headquarters by B. Leddie, driv-
er for Supt. Mcguire, and the negro
will be given a hearing in Police
Court tomorrow. A white man only
partly drove over the hose, and no
case was made against him. AS soon
as he realized what he had done he
turned back and the fire chief was sat

Value of Property on Skidaway
Road Advanced 80 Per Cent.
The purchase of the Skidaway shell
road by the county, the removal of the
toll gate and the opening of the road
to public travel has resulted in a great
~ increased travel over the road. Peo-
pie who live on the road say that the
travel has more than doubled since the
road was made free.
The large increase in travel
has also increased the value
of property along the road. One prop

more than it was before the road was
made free. People who do business
along the road find that there has been
marked increase in their trade since
the county opened the road to the pub
lie. Mr.. A. Oelschig says that his for
ist business shows a large increase due
to the doing away with the toll road.
There is but one toll road left around
Savannah, the White Bluff road. and
the opening of that to the public would,

AMENDMENT is OPPOSED.
Opposition to Making n Change In
the Tax Ordinance.

There is strong opposition in Coun-
Gil TO an ordinance introduced by AL
derman Colding relieving the owner OF
every vehicle used as a moving ad-
vertisement, when the advertisement
is for a theatrical performance, base
ball game, football game, or athletic
contest, of the special tax of 500 re-
quired under the tax ordinance.
The ordinance was placed on its first
reading two weeks ago and was not
read at the last meeting of Council
because Alderman Colding was out of
the city. Members of the board say
that if it is taken off the table it will
be killed.
The amendment in no manner affects
delivery wagons and only has refer
ence to vehicles used exclusively as
moving advertisements. The ordinance
provides that the owners of all such
vehicles must pay 500 and aldermen
who were spoken to on the subject say
that the amount will remain as it is.
1t is within the province of Alderman
Colding to allow the amendment to re-
main on the table indefinitely.
