EulOgy on Ulysses S. Grant.

The history Of the world is but the
achievements of It's great men. Those
qualities of man that foster In the
ideal aud are accomplished through
the real, are celebrated in our annals
and shown to the world by monu-
ments and traditions all through the
weird past.
Only vast towers of strength have
withstood the crucial tests OF time,
only great characters have dotted the
pages of history and shed their lustre
on an admiring world.
The men who have surmounted the
great difficulties, overcome the trying
bonds of poverty, won high esteem
through self sacrifice and unassum-
ing pretentions, have seemed to rise
as occasion has required, play their
part on the stage of action, fix their
impress upon humanity, and quietly
retire amid the plaudits of mankind.
1t Is the approach to universal mind
that gives lasting impress to human
character. And when man meets
these requirements and touches the
chords of life In harmony with the
spirit of the age he represents, he
then reaches the acme of fame, be-
comes the center OF political and civil
administration, binds together the
broken fragments about him, and
unites the world into one systematic
whole. Such a character was Ulysses
Simpson Grant; born In the remotest
poverty without name or fame, work
Ing his way through the cold unchar
liable world fixing his ideals at every
step, adding virtue after virtue, and
determination which knew no failure
and acknowledged no defeat.
These were the characteristics which
caused him to be called "Uncondi-
tional Surrender" These were the
inspirations which flashed across the
wire, II propose to fight 1t out on
this line if it takes all summer" and
yet after duty has been performed,
and this great nation saved from dis.
memberment, hear his gentle voice
saying to Lees conquered army boys
you had better take your horses home
with you, doubtless you will need
them In raising your crops"
There have been those who have
denied to Grant the name of great
man. What Is greatness. Does good
ness belong to greatness, and make
an essential part Of it1 Is there yet
enough OF virtue lett In the world to
echo the sentiment that otis phrase
absurd to call a william great?" II
there Is, who, would ask, of all the
prominent names in history, has run
through such career with so little
reproach, justly or unjustly bestowed?
Are military courage and conduct the
measure of greatness?
Grant was Entrusted by Lincoln
with all kinds of service, the labor
lous and complicated, which require
skill and patience. The perilous that
demanded nerve, and we see him
keeping up pursuit, efiecting re-

ing an assault at the point of the
bayonet, and all with entire success
and brilliant reputation.
Is the readiness to meet vast re.
sponsibility a proof Of greatness? The
memoirs of Mr.. Lincoln show us that
there was a moment In 1868 when
Grant took upon himself, as the head
OF the military force, the entire re.

Comparison of Companies.
1.-THE history of mutual insurance
shows conclusively that it is four times
as safe as stock company insurance
(out of 1889 failures, only 1893 were
mutual companies). and that the aver
age cost has been half as much. If
such be the case, and it undoubtedly
is why are stock companies writing
more business than the mutuaIs? The
people certainly want the best and
cheapest. l attribute the cause to the
fact that the stock companies are more
aggressive and are ever pushing out
for business, while mutual companies,
being in many states hampered by adj
verse legislation, seem to let we'll
enough alFne and content themselves
with fairly good record. If the mutual
plan of insurance were properly pre-
scented by its indorsers and promoters
throughout this country the results
would be a revelation TO the most san
guine advocate of the plan.
Another reason assigned for the fail
ure of the mutual companies to branch
out is that they are organized to save

event in the marriage Of Miss Hannah
Ferst to Mr.. Henry S. Meinhard. A
simple and artistic scheme of decora-

could not have been more charming.
The high mantel at the left side of
the room was banked with maidenhair
Terms, and just in front of it hung the
wedding canopy, formed of smilax and
"reathed around its outer edge with
white flowers. 1t was suspended from
the ceiling by ropes of galax leaves.
In the center were the initials,

sWeetpeas thrust into the smilaX. Here

HloIly, the recess being shut in on each
slde with palms, and small palms filling

BAIL IN TROvER PROCEEDINGS

Instituted by Furniture Company
Against Constable Who Made Levy.
The attention of the Superior Court
was occupied yesterday with the hear
ing of a bail trover proceedings of the
w. T. Walker Furniture Company
against w. F. Barrett. constable.
The contentious were based on the
fact that Barrett as constable had an
execution in favor of the estate of
Guerard against j. Johnson, and lev
led upon a certain lot of furniture
which had been sold by the Walker
Furniture Company on the installment
plan. wherein Walker reserved the til
tie in himself, and recorded the con-
ditional bill of sale.
Through his attorney, w. r. Slater
the plaintiff made demand on Barrett
for the furniture, which was refused,
unless it were accompanied by a claim
bond. Walker refused to file the claim
and give a claim bond, and instituted
bail in trover proceedings in the Su-
perior Court against Barrett.
Barrett filed an answer admitting the
levy, but claimed that he held the
property as an officer of the law under
a levy regularly made, and that bail
in trover was not the proper remedy
against him; that Walker should have
filed claim in the court from whence
the execution issued.
The contention of plaintiffs counsel
was that when an officer held an exc
cution against defendant and levied
on property belonging to third party,
he either had a right to file claim or
take bail trover, and in the latter case
the officer either had to give UP the
property, give bond for it, or go to
fail.
The court charged the jury in line
with the contentious of the plaintiffs
and it rendered a verdice for Walker.

THE Kings Daughters Circle No.
IL beg to bring before the public the
object for which they are working,
i. e., a home for incurables and to urge
the cooperation of the citizens of Sa-
vannah in helping in this good work.
There is no home for this object
nearer than Atlanta. Where is the
poor, friendless, helpless man, woman
or child who is suffering from some
incurable disease to go? The doors
of the hospitals are shut against such
as these. The many excellent chart
ties in this city are not for the help
less and hopeless cases. The circle
hopes to be able to open this winter
a non-sectarian home in which incur
able patients can live and be cared
for. 1t is hoped that the public will
assist us willingly and generously. The
help of all is earnestly asked"

AT THE THEATER

An interruption in a week of hypnot-
ism was made yesterday by THE Gay
Mr.. GoIdstein." not altogether a sue
cessful or interesting one.
Two performances were given, with
a small audience at the matinee and
a larger one at night, in both cases
very indulgent. There was not much
cleverness to applaud, and the humor
was somewhat heavy, but the efforts
of the actors were received with great
good nature.
The Knowles will resume their per-
formances tonight. and will continue
through Saturday night.
The sale of seats for the jefferson
De Angels Opera Company's produce
ton of "The Toreador," next Monday
night will open tomorrow morning.
The opera is said to be the best
medium that De Angels. who is one of
the most popular of comic opera CO.
medians. has ever had. 1t enables
him to be seen in q character that is
admirably adapted to his quaint style
and method. The company is describ-
ed as exceptionally strong.
VIM. Crane in his new play, THE
Spenders" win be seen Tuesday night.
The actor is seen as old Peter Bines
of Montana. He goes East on a visit
and at the house of a friend is asked
to take a drink. "Out our way" he
says, whisky is our steady beverage.
When a new brand comes along we
inject ten drops of it into a jack rab-
bit and if he doesn't lick a bull dog
in six seconds we pass it UP as no
good" Later on he is advising his
grandson to branch out in the bust
ness world and become something more
than a rich mans son. Pete" he
says, by way of encouragement, I'VE
need more money. You know they
haven't got to making calendars yet
with the rainy days marked off on
being as bright as a coin fresh from
the mint.
Wednesday matinee and night, Sadie
Martinez will present for the first time
in this city, His EXcellency the Gov
ernor," a play which for brightness
of dialogue, audacity of conceit and
cleverness of construction is said to
excel any other comedy produced at
the New York theaters in recent years.
AL H. Wilson viii be seen at two per-
formances next Thursday matinee and
night. in his romantic play, "A Prince
of Tatters,' in which he has made a
hit for the last two seasons.
