A negro giving his name as Miller

and the nippers put on him. For au-
dacity his scheme was the limit Ex-
hibiting an old insurance policy.
which he had probably picked up in
an alley, this Ethiopian Albanian
would offer to write one 5000 of life
insurance for five cents. He couldn't
give the name of the company, but
this little discrepancy made no differ
ence to Mr.. Nigg seeking protection
under this very elastic policy. Even
the negro janitor at the city hall was
about to give up his ntckle for $500
worth of protection" when Chief Fe-
agin buzzed by and butted in, finally
getting his gaffs hooked into the
agent. 1t cost the Albanian 500, and
a farmer paid the fine. He is now
studying insurance behind a mule on
the farm, and the policy" he signed
is dead sure good for one years hon

UNION VETERANS
TO MAKE PROTEST
Against Proposed Wirz
Monument Inscription.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. s.
(SpeciaD AT a private meeting of
Union veterans for tomorrow even
ing, it is expected that means will be
discussed to prevent the proposed err
ection by Southern women of mon
ument to the memory of Major Henry
Wirz the Confederate officer who
was in charge of Andersonville prison
during the civil war. Major Wirz was,
with inhuman treatment of
Union soldiers taken as prisoners and
was tried, convicted and hanged.
The monument project has aroused
the bitterest feeling among Grand
Army men throughout the country,
and it is likely that the meeting of
protest here will be followed by SINH
lar gatherings throughout the East
and North. Funds for the monument
was raised by women of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy. 1t is
proposed to unveil the memorial on
Jefferson Davis birthday.
The inscriptions for the monument
have been supplied by Mrs. Gourdin
Young, historian of the Georgia div
ision of the United Daughters of the
Confederacy.
