The Advantage of Annual Dividends

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 of 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 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

REVOLVER FIRING
CAUSED EXCITEMENT.
Lively Chase After Negro On OElc-
thorpe Avenue.


The residents of the East Side be-
tween Houston and East Broad streets
and Oglethorpe avenue and Wheaton
street were startled early yesterday
morning by the sound of five pistol
shots.
The shots were fired by Patrolman
Dan Walker at a negro who was try
ing to escape. The negro had been ar
rested the night previous, but had es-
capped. In the morning the officer sur
prised him, placed him under arrest,
and started toward the Gamewell box
with him.
The negro walked along peacefully
until he reached Houston street and
Oglethorpe avenue, and then made
break for liberty. Patrolman Walker
called upon him to halt, but the negro
kept on running. The officer then drew
his revolver and began firing. The ne
gro finally left the streets and vaulted
fence after fence, making good his es-
cape.

ON The SLOCUM
GOSS FAMILY DIED
WERE FORMER SAVANNAHIANS
ONE DAUGHTER, WHO WAS NOT ON
BOARD ONLY ONE ALIVE.

Gcss Himself is in Germany. But
Had Been Expected TO Return to
This Country for Several Months
Instead of Large Family He Will
Find only One Daughter LETT
Goss Was Cabinet Maker Here
for "A Number of Years.
Among the victims in the General
Slocum disaster were four members Of
a former Savannah family, says Mr..
W. p. Mitchell of New York, who has
been in Savannah several days.
The entire family of Adolph Goss,
with the exception of himself and one
daughter. persisted on the Slocum. Mr..
Goss is we'll known in this city.
He was an upholsterer here for
number Of years. During the Spanish
War he went to Cuba to make mat
tresses. He returned to Savannah in
1899. but few months afterwards
went to Germany.
Shortly after Goss went to Germany
his family moved to New York. The
family had been expecting him to re-
turn to this country for several
months, but he had postponed the trip
from time to time. When he comes
now he will find only one surviving
member, Miss Phoenie Goss, who did
not go on the fatal picnic.
saw Surviving Daughter.
Mr.. Mitchell saw the surviving
daughter in New York Sunday. Mrs.
Mitchell was formerly of Savannah,
and for this reason. Mr.. Mitchell look
ed the family up when he heard of the
trouble.
Mrs. Goss. Miss Gertrude Goss and
Mrs Annie Cooney, the married daugh-
ter, with her little baby only a few
months old, were on the Inflated eX-
cursion steamer and all of them per-
ished. The bodies of Mrs. Cooney and
Miss Goss were recovered. but the re-
mains of Mrs. Goss and her grand
child were not found.
The position of Miss Phoenie Goss,
the only surviving member of the fam
lily in the great city of New York, is
heart rending in the extreme. Mrs.
Mitchell says it is thought her father
will Immediately go to her.
No other Snvannahinns.
Mr.. Mitchell says the full horror of
the Slocum disaster can not be imagin-
ed by one who was not in New York
at the time. Into one house, next door
to Mrs. Cooney, the married daughtef
of Mr.. Goss, there were fourteen bodies
of persons who had persisted, carried.
They were all related, and all lived
together Other instances were almost
as bad. The wife of a storekeeper,
near where Mr.. Mitchell resides, was
also among those lost.
Mr.. Mitchell says he thinks the Goss
family the only former Savannahians
who were on the Slocum.

Efforts to Personal Work.


Efforts to Personal Work.
Judge Samuel Adams, who has been
placed in charge of the movement To-
cally for a state reformatory, stated
yesterday that he would hardly call
meeting, but would use individual eff
forts on the representatives of Chat
ham county in the State Legislature.
Il expect l will go to Atlanta myself
when the bill comes up for a vote"
said Judge Adams. Il know quite
number of the members and will do
what I can to make them see the need
of such an institution.
IT'S a burning shame to allow boys
to become hardened criminals when the
establishment of such an institution
would save such a large per cent. How
any man can refuse to support such a
movement / do not see.
I'm addition TO using my own little
influence with my friends, 1 will ask
other citizens to write letters, or make
a personal trip to the Legislature in
behalf of the measure

SUBWAY COST CUT
TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS.
City VIII Try to Build for Less Than
Estimated Cost.

In deciding upon an appropriation
for constructing the Gwinnett street
subway. the committee cut the esti-
mated cost down about $4,000.
The subway was all along estimated
to cost $4,000, but the city in max
ing its appropriation decided upon
$13,500 The city is to pay one-third
and this would make the total cost
$40, 500.
OF course if the subway cannot be
built for that amount. the city will
have to go beyond it's appropriation.
An effort is to be made to keep the
cost within the appropriation, however.
