ALL OL'IEI IN ISLI'EFIELDS.
Waiting a Settlement of Affairs by
Outside Powers.
Capt. Brown of the Steamer Elliott
Which Arrived Yesterday Tells of
the Landing of the Nicaruaguan
Troops at the Bluff-Some Anxiety
on Account of the Presence of the
Troops The British Man-of-War
Magicienne at Blueflelds —The Gov
ernor of Rama at His Old Stand.
The British steamship Elliot, Capt. A.
Brown, from Blueflelds, with 10,000
bunches of bananas consigned to this
port, arrived yesterday.
The Elliot left Blueflelds last Sunday
at 9 o'clock in the morning and reached
Tybee yesterday at 1 o'clock, making the
trip in just a few hours over six days.
This is one of the quickest trips that has
been made from that point to Savannah.
The Elliot arrived at Blueflelds las
Wednesday, and found everything quiet
in the Mosquito Reservation, at least as
quiet as things could be under the unset
tled state of affairs.
Capt. Brown said he went up to Rama
for a day while he was there, and found
that everything had resumed Its usual
quietude, and that the governor of that
place, who murdered the American,
Wilson, was doing business at the same
old stand without any interference on the
part of the people there.
THE MAGICIENNE AT BLUE FIELDS.
The only - war vessel there when he left
wa the English man-of-war Magicienne,
which was anchored some miles off Blue
lields. Nono of the troops from the ves
seLhad been landed, and no fears were
expressed on account of their presence
there. In fact the Englishmen seemed to
be taking no part in the affairs of the res
ervation. The San Francisco, the Ameri
can war vessel. Capt. Brown said had
been there for some time before he ar
rived, but went away to Colon for some
purpose before ho reached Blueflelds.
Otherwise Capt. Brown said there was
nothing in the situation that was note
worthy.
The only thing he said which has
created an.v anxiety on the part of the
people in the reservation is the landing of
the Nicaraguan soldiers at the Biue
fields bluffs, about seven miles from the
town.
THE NICARAGUAN TROOPS.
These troops were landed at the bluff,
and were not allowed to come up to the
city. They began arriving the day the
Elliot reached Bluefieids. which was
Wednesday, April 18, and some of them
came Saturday night following. In all
108 soldiers were landed at the bluff.
The landing of these troops produced
considerable annoyance among tho inhab
itants of tho reservation, as they didn't
know why the troops should be brought
there, or what they would be called upon
to do. Otherwise the situation seems
very quiet, and the people in the reserva
tion are simply awaiting the outcome of
the situation. As (.'apt. Brown expresses
it, they are waiting to see what tho
American people are going to do. Evi
dently thero is a feeling that tho treaty
has been violated, and tho United States
is looked to to set matters aright.
Capt. Brown says with these exceptions
there is nothing interesting in the situa
tion. The people are having little trouble
with the provisional government, and are
only considerably’ inconvenienced by tho
unsettled state of affairs. The Elliot
will leave for Bluefieids again Monday,
ynd it is probable that she will make sev
eral more trips between Savannah and
Bluefieids. Her passage up this time was
a remarkably quick one, but the trip was
uneventful, there being nothing of interest
noted along the way.
COMPANY D’S RECITAL.
Mr. Higgins and Mr Von Scarpa to
Be Here This Week.
Company Dof Guards has secured one
of tho violin and piano recitals by’ Mr.
Charles F. Higgins, violin virtuoso, and
Mr. Rudolf von Scarpa, solo pianist, for
Wednesday evening. Both of these art
ists are well known. They have both
played in Savannah with the Boston
Symphony Club. When the Symphony
Club disbanded, Mr. Higgins and Mr.
von Scarpa started [on a spring tour.
They have played in tho best theaters
and academies of music, and have never
failed to fill a house, and delight the au
dience. ‘ Tho Cincinnati Commercial Ga
zette says: .Mr Higgins is a most bril
liant violinist. He had not played three
minutes until he completely enthralled the
hearts of his listeners, and he held them
captive until the last tone of his wonder
ful speaking instrument had died away.
His playing is characterized by great vol
ume, yet sweetness of tone, and again at
times there are passages of rare tire and
force.
Of Mr. von Scarpa the Empire, of To
ronto, says: Rudolf von Scarpa at once
established himself in the pood graces of
his auditors by the finished,rendition of
his solos, which were warmly applauded.
He is a genuine pianist, and one who will
compare favorably with d’Albert.
The recital will be given under the aus
pices of Company D. and for the benefit
of that company in the Guards’ hall.
Tickets are on sale at Solomons drug
store, and Luddeti & Bales.
STOPPED A RUNAWAY.
Dr. F. H. Boyd 111 as a Result at His
Home Near Allendale.
Dr. F. H. Boyd, who practices near Al
lendale, S. C., is quite ill in bed at his
home, and his mother has been called
from Black Creek, Screven county, on ac
count of his illness.
East Tuesday lie was driving in his
buggy near Allendale when he saw a run
away horse coming up behind him. There
were two ladies in the buggy. They had
lost alt control of the animal and were in
imminent danger. Dr. Boyd stopped his
horse and sprang from his' buggy.just in
time to reach the rein of the runaway an
imal. He clung to the rein and was
dragged along the ground lor some dis
tance. until his weight on the rein
stopped the horse. The horse, unable to
run further, began pawing and kicked
Dr. Boyd down to the ground, where but
for timely interference he might have
been dangerously inquired. He stopped
the horse, however, and saved the ladies
from any injury beyond that of fear. Dr.
Boyd is quite seriously ill as a result of
his encounter with the horso. He is a
native of Screven county and is a nephew
of Dr. M. L. Boyd of this city.

THE SEASON’S LAST PLAYS.
Mrs. John Drew’s Return Engagement
This Week.
Mrs. John Drew and company, who
played a successful engagement here in
March, will return this week for a two
nights and matinoe engagement, opening
Tuesday night with the -’Road to Ruin.”
At Wednesday's matinee "A Jealous
Wife” will be presented, and Wednesday
night -Comedy of Married Life.”
This will close the theatrical season.
Mrs. Drew was a prodigy sixty-five years
ago when, her manager tells us. she
played Goldfinch in the “Road to Ruin;”
she is a progidy now when she appears as
the Widow Warren in the same play.
Those who saw her during her engage
ment here a short time ago are aware of
her wonderful ability.
Widow Warren, in the “Road to Ruin.”
the vain relict of a rich man. is an exag
eration of a ty|>e, but as Mrs. Drew in
terprets it one accepts it as life-size, and
in all of its details, true to nature. The
] etty vanity of this silly creature seems
plain enough, even before the actress has
spoken; it hangs there in tho long, love
sick curl of false hair, which fails from
the widow's chignon upon her decollete
liosom; it flutters in the air with her
beringed fingers, and stands out with her
crinolined skirts. A coquette, very much
on the shady side of 40, is the Widow
Green, with a keen scent for suitors and a
positive hunger for the marriage estate.
Her dalliance with the horsey Goldfinch,
whom she half despises, her rapturous
reception of the necessity-driven ad
dresses of poor Harry Dorton, are equally
funny. The absolute unconsciousness of
her ridiculous appearance which Mrs.
Drew maintains always, no matter how
loud the laughter of the audience, is not
the least among her triumphs as an
artist.
The company supporting Mrs. Drew is
the same as that which supported her
during her previous engagement.
The sale of seats began yesterday
morning, and the demand indicates large
audiences.
SUGAR FOR THE ORPHANS.
Nearly Five Barrels Collected at the
Childrens’ Kirmess Ball.
The Kirmess ball given at the Odd
Fellows hall last night, was, considering
the object in view, a decided success. The
objects of the ball were two: to give the
children who participated in the Kirmess
a good time, and to collect donations of
sugar for the Episcopal Orphaus’ Home
for the benefit of which the kirmess was
given.
After the ball when the sugar was in
spected there were found just 193 pack
ages, all but five of which contained five
pounds of sugar each. Five contained
twenty-five pounds each, and there was
one basket containing a like amount.
This makes In all just 1,090 pounds or
nearly five barrels. The sugar was all of
good quality with a few exceptions. Most
of it was granulated sugar, but there was
a good deal of loaf sugar.and now and then
a package of brown sugar Sugar enough
was collected to keep the orphans in
sweets for six months at least, and per
haps longer.
A large number of the children were
presont, many of them in costume. The
uances of the little flower girls and tffie
gypsies wer.e repeated, as were also the
special dances of Misses Edith Robinson
and Ada Ehrlich. Several of the Japs
were also present in costume. Tho ball
began at fl o’clock and lasted until nearly
10 o'clock. Tho children enjoyed dancing
while their relatives and friends looked
on. The entertainment was chaperoned
by Mrs. Charlton, Mrs. Haskell and Mrs.
Hunter.
All bills duo by the ladies of the Kir
mess which are correct will be paid at 69
Charlton street.

THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, APRIL 20, 1804.
THE SLOT MACHINE CONE.
t
It Can no More ba Found at Its Erst
while Familiar Haunts.
The slot machines have met their doom
in Savannah, though there has been no
action taken with regard to them by the
; courts, and the.officers of the law have
only taken slight cognizance of their ex
istence here.
But a thorough search yesterday failed
I to reveal the existence of one of them
here. The announcement of Solicitor
General Fraser seems to have the effect
the authorities desired, and the machines
have silently but rapidly disappeared.
They have gone, nobody knows where,
but there is no doubt that they are out of
sight.
The solicitor general intended his state;
ment given for publication to the Mousing
News as a warning that he had the mat
ter under consideration, on account of the
fact that he considered their operation
against the laws of the state which pro
hibit all machines or games in tho way of
lotteries or chance. He said at the time
heGiad determined on no plan of action,
but having reached the conclusion that
they were in violation of the law, he
would probably take the matter before
the grand jury if it was found necessary.
MOST OF THEM GONE.
The action on his part, however, will
hardly be found necessary. The proprie
tors of the nickel in-the-slot
have forestalled this action, and the erst
while familiar, and often deceptive slot
is no more to be seen at its accustomed
place on the counter of the bar and tho
cigar store.
“Where’s your slot machine?” was
asked of a former proprietor of one of
them yesterday.
“Didn't want get into the courts.”
was the reply. The same proprietor had
kept three of them at different places,
and he had called them all in. ,
Another who had kept a machine In
which there was no chance taken on his
part, as it always turned out the money’s
worth, and sometimes, a little more, had
called his in too.
“It’s not like the others,” he said. “A
man never plays it for money, and ho
always gats the value of his money and
sometimes more, but I thought it best to
stop running it until It has been decided
whether it comes under the law or not.
GOOD MONEY MAKERS.
There is little doubt that many of tho
proprietors made considerable profits out
of these machines. Some of them ad
mitted that they were lucrative, while
others protested that there was no money
in the business. But the proprietor of
the machine which was played for money
would always win. Tho player of the
machine, if he won, would generally be so
elated with his success that he would
drop all his winnings back into the slot,
in hopes that he might repeat his former
efforts.
The slot machine; it seems, has been
rather short-lived. They were all looked
upon at first as harmless and innocent,
but in many quarters they have become
to be as bad as lotteries. Many an inhab
itant of Yamacraw and the old fort has
stood by one of these machines until he
dropped his last nickel in the
slot, and the eagerness to win
something from it has become with
many more of a craze than playing the
policy lotteries. Its fascinations with
many have surpassed those of a game
called skin. Now that the warning has
hern given ana has been taken by most
of the proprietors of these machines, it
will probably go harder with any of them
caught, should the grand jury decide
that they are illegal.
MONEY DISPOSED OF.
The Court Distributes Some Funds of
the Chatham Furniture Company.
In accordance with the terms of the
consent decree taken in the suit of the
Union Furniture Company against the
Chatham Furniture Company, a portion
of the fund in the case was distributed
by order of the court yesterday.
The receiver, Mr. E. F. Lovell, reported!
that the funds in his hands amounted to
$8,511.69. Eight hundred and sixty-sixty
dollars and sixty-nine cents had been
paid on the amount duo for rental, leaving
a balance due of $1 ~".00. Of this sum the
receiver was directed to pav SI,OOO to
Messrs. Garrard, Meldrim & Newman in
settlement of a mortgage held by that
firm; SI,OOO to tho attorneys repre
senting the moving creditors for bring
ing the fund into court, SB,OOO to Messrs.
E. F. and R. P. Lovell in satisfaction of
a mortgage held by them, and SI,BOO due
on the rental of the building. The re
ceiver was directed to deposit the bal
ance of the fund in some bank to await
the final decree of the court.
The interventions of Paris, Allen k
Cos., and James Clements in the suit of
Kate G. Gavin against James P. Lavin,
executor, were allowed by Judge Fain
eant.
The ejectment suit of Thomas Sweat,
trustee, against Efla Simons, resulted in
a verdict for the plaintiff, giving the es
tate lie represents tho right to a lot on
Hill street.
Argument was heard yesterday in the
illegality suit of the mayor and aldermen
of the city of Savannah against J. 1).
Weed, in which the city asks for an
execution for $403.85, the amount claimed
to be due for asphalt put down on the
street near Mr. Weed's residence. The
case was submitted to the court on an
| agreed statement of the facts and Judge
Fallignnt reserved his decision.
Joseph Gutman, formerly a subject of
Russia, .Terry Bradley, formerly of Great
Britain and Charles Mochlenbrook, form
erly of Germany, were admitted to citi
zenship by Judge Falligant yesterday.
COMPANY B ON A SERENADE.
The Guards Compliment Lt. H. H.
Bacon.
Company Bof the Guards complimented
their newly elected first lieutenant, Mr.
11. H. Bacon, with a serenade last night.
The company left the arsenal about forty
strong at 8:30 o'clock headed by Middle
ton's band, and proceeded to the home of
Mr. Bacdn on Hall street. A lavish
spread hud been provided by Mr. Hacon,
to which his comrades did full justice.
The new lieutenant was called upon for
a speech, but pleaded his duties as host
and was let off on a pro mi so to respond
some other time.
The speech of the evening was made by
Mr. W. C. Hartridge, the newly elected
• second lieutenant. Mr. Hartridge re
viewed tho history of Lieut. Bacon's con
nection with tho company, and said the
record which he had made in the past
was a sufficient guarantee of his course
in the future. He alluded to I.ieut. Ba
con as the typical volunteer soldier, the
type of the class which has given the
state soldiery tho position which it occu
pies to-day, and is destined to raise the
standard even higher yet. Mr. Hartridge
also spoke of the record made by other
mombers of the Bacon fumlly with tho
corps in time of war. Tho spirit of
friendly cordiality which exists between
the officers of tho Guards and their sub
ordinates and the high respect in which
the officers are held by the latter were
strongly dwelt upon.
Speeches were made by Mr. H. M.
Comer, Jr., Mr. T. IX Rockwell, Mr. W.
L. Clay, Capt. G. T. Oann, of Company C,
and ottiers. Mr. Bacon’s hospitality was
en oyed to the utmost. Jokes, song? and
speeches filled out the evening, and many
toasts wore proposed to the success of the
popular lieutenant and Company li. It
was after 11 o'clock when tho company
took its departure, after waking the
neighborhood with three rousing cheers
and tiger for Lieut. Bacon.
THE LAST SPIRE DRIVEN.
I The Fiist Train Over the Rccon
strncted Tybee Road.
The Road to Be Put In Condition for
the Regular Schedule as Rapidly as
Possible How tho Trains Will Prob
ably Be Run—The Road Finished on
Time.
The first through passenger train on
the Tybee railroad since the storm of
August 27 will be run to-day. The train
will leave the city about 10 o'clock this
morning. General Superintendent Kline
and Chief Engineer Hunter, of the Cen
tral railroad, will be onboard with Mayor
McDonough and several of the directors
of the Tybee road.
A close inspection will be made of the
road in order to decide when it will be
proper to begin the operation of a regular
schedule. The work of tilling in and
surfacing tho road bed will be continued
for some time longer, but it is expected to
begin the operation of a regular schedule
within the next two week?.
THE LAST SriKE.
Tho last spik# was driven yesterday
afternoon at 4:30 o’clock, in tho presenco
of Mayor McDonough, the contractors
and engineers, and a force of about 125
workmen. This completed the work be
gun on March 5, less than two months
ago. Shortly after driving home the last
spike, the work train was run through to
Tybee. The people on the island were
expecting the train and were out in full
force to see it go by. They were almost
crazed with delight at seeing the train
once more running through the town,
after the lapse of two-thirds of a year.
Mayor McDonough is being generally
congratulated upon the success of his
undertaking. To rebuild the road in such
a short space of time and have it ready
for operation was to accomplish a hercu
lean task. Tbs roadbed was in a terrible
condition from the August storm and the
results of subsequent neglect. The track
was washed away for long distances and
some of it was found in the marsh a quar
ter of a mile away.
A TEMPORARY SCHEDULE.
A temporary schedule of two trains
daily each way has been arranged by the
passenger department of the Central
railroad, which will be put in operation
as soon as the road is accepted by tho
general superintendent and chief engineer.
The schedule time of the trains between
Savannah and Tybee is one hour; The
first train will leave the city in the morn
ing at 9:30 o'clock and arrive at Tybee at
10:30 o'clock. The train will leave Tybee,
returning to the city, at 11 :8! o'clock a.
m., to arrive at 12:30 o'clock, p. in. The
next train from the city will leave
at 2:30 o’clock p. m, to arrive at
the island at 3:30 o'clock p. m. Re
turning, the the tram will .leave the
island at 6 p. m., to arrive in the city at
7p. m. This schedule can be operated
with one engine and set of cars and one
crew. On Saturdays there will be an ex
tra train leaving the city at 7:30 p. m.,
and arriving at Tybee at 8:30. Returning,
this train will leave at 8:45 p.m., ar
riving in tho city an hour later. There
will also be an extra train on Sunday,
which will leave the city at 0:30 a. m.,
arriving at 7:30; returning, leave the
island at Ba. m., arriving at 9a. m. This
schedule is temporary, and more trains
will be put on as travel increases.
THE STREET RAILWAY WAR.
The Electrio Line Showa No Disposi
tion to Reduce Fares
There have been no new developments
In the street railroad war since the re
ductions in fares by the City and Sub
urban a few days ago. The Electric
railway has shown no disposition to meet
the cuts of its rival. In fact, President
Collins claims that the Electric railway
has as yet felt no ill effect from the ob
vious attempts of the City and Suburban
railway to draw its travel. He predicts
that the rival line will soon get sick of
Its attempt to make a living at 3 cents a
ride.
As long as the Electric railway has the
monopoly of the baso ball travel its offi
cers can afford to laugh at the fight made
by the opposition. Atj least that is tho
way they look at it now apparently.
The City and Suburban people have
just an opposite story to tell from that
told by President Collins. Director Har
riman said yesterday that he is more than
pleased with the result of the three cent
fares on the West Broad street and the
Broughton and Habersham street lines.
"Our travel has almost doubled on
these lines." he said, "and the result has
proved both pleasing and profitable. It
is hardly possible that we should
have such a large Increase in
travel without some of it being
drawn from our rivals, though I see they
do not acknowledge this. The thirty
days limit of our agreement with the
Electric railway as to Thunder
bolt fares will soon expire, and
we will then be able to make a
3-cent fare to the eastern limit of the
city, besides reducing the fare to Thun
derbolt to 10 cents instead of £0 cents, as
at present. The cheap tickets on the
City and Suburban railroad, sold only at
Barnard and New Houston streets, are
only a side issue, and have not cut much
figure so far.”
Mr. Harriman was asked what the next
step in the fight will bo.
“Well, we have done all the fighting so
far,” he replied, "and 1 think it is about
time for the other side to make a move.
If they don't we will. W T e don’t intend to
let the fight lag, and you can safely count
on its lasting all summer. The street
railway business has been over
done in Savannah, and the sooner
that fact is reeognued tho bet
ter. As the older line we think
we are entitled to some consideration. If
the other people choose to come in and
parrallel our lines at the risk of doing a
losing business that is not our fault.
They have injured us without benefiting
themselves, mid now they must take the
consequences. We are not in the street
railway business for our health, and if
the people want to ride cheap we are
going to give them tho chance.”
Meyer & Walsh’s Removal.
Meyer & Walsh, proprietors of the
ladies' emporium, on Broughton street,
have been compelled to seek larger quar
ters on account of their wonderfully in
creased business during the past year.
Tne.v have rented the storo at No. 120
Broughton street, formerly occupied by
Butler & Morrisey, and will remove their
establishment on or about June 1. Their
new storo will be refitted in the very
latest and most convenient style for the ac
commodation of their line of trade. Their
facilities will be greatly increased at the
new stand. In tho meantime the stock
now on band at their store, 116 Brough
ton street, will be sold at a reduction.—

The Metropolitan Life Insurance Com
pany of New York, have opened an office
in the city, and Mr. Charles F. Fick has
been appointed superintendent. The
office of the company is in the Odd Fel
lows Building, rooms 8 and 9.
The Metropolitan is the leading indus
trial insurance company of America,
with $19,343,705.06 assets and $4,110,420.92
surplus, and during the year ,1898 paid
its policy holders $5,793,707.80. Industrial
insurance is especially adapted to persons
of moderate means. It costs 5 cents, per
week and upward—no initiation fee is
charged, no increase of payments is re
quired. The promiums are collected
weekly at the houses of the policy hold
ers, all ages from 1 year to 70 are taken
and death claims are promptly paid.
The Metroplitan makes a specialty of the
industrial insurance and it affords pro
tection at the lowest cost to those in mod
erate circumstances. The trouble has
been that many could not afford to pay
tho yearly or half .yearly premiums in the
old style companies, and consequently as
sessment associations were resorted to
or no insurance carried. The Metropolitan
obviates all this—it givea the best insur
ance for the least money—and allows
payments to be made weekly, Its stand
ing is such as to inspire confidence and
its methods are worthy the consideration
of all interested in Life Insurance.

GOING AWAY THIS SUMMER?
Where Are You Going P
The summer migration will soon begin.
“Resort” literature, railway time tables,
and miscellaneous information as to the
“best place to spend the summer” are
much sought after. Do you really want
to know which is the best resort? It isn’t
north, nor east, nor west, but right hero
at your door, at home. Miles of weary
traveling over dusty highways, with pos
sible discomforts at the end of the jour
ney, overcrowding, ill feeding and an
abundance of everything except comfort
scarcely constitute a desirable summer
outing. Hero at home we have tho glor
ious Suwannee Springs. The idea of go
ing -south” for a summer trip ordinarily
strikes the superficial-seeker as question
able, if not aosurd. and why? Why
not -south”? Suwannee " offer’s
everything, and more, too, in attractive
inducements than nine out of ten resorts
in more elevated sections of country
pleasant days, cool nights, freedom from
malaria, amusements, recreation, bath
ing. and, best of all, the invigorating vir
tues of Suwannee’s famed waters.
In the face of all these gc.nuino ad
vantages why people will seek certain
discomforts elsewhere is past all compre
hension of the thousands who know and
appreciate Suwannee. If you ars all run
down and wish to clear your system of
bile and malaria go to Suwannee. If in
seek of rest and recreation try Suwannee
as a summer resort this season, and we
are satisfied that you will soon believe
that the south has one of the best resorts
of the world.
Suwannee Springs has been listed by all
the railroads among the best summer re
sorts. Special excursions at reduced
rates; convenient schedules, etc. Reached
via Savannah, Florida and Western rail
way; Georgia Southern and Florida rail
way (via Jasper), and Florida Central

Dying Rich.
Andrew Carnegie says that “the man
who dies worth a million dollars dies in
disgrace.” But how about the man who
dies worth nothing at all? To leave the
world in worse condition in a financial way
than when wo began it. except in the
eases of those born rich, is retrogression,
and that is contrary to the law of prog
ress—itself a law of God. Every mau
must leave those who depended upon him
while he live in such condition that the
pangs of poverty shall not be added to
the grief of parting. He, at least, has
no excuse for not fortifying them against
want by carrying all the life Insurance
that his circumstances will reasonably
allow. If to die worth a million be a dis
grace, to die penniless and with no life in
surance is a sin.
It may be said, however, that until
within the last few years insurance as
offered by regularly established and re
liable companies lias, in the main, been
beyond the reach of persons of moderate
means. In other words, companies in
general have accepted only male adult
lives, declining to insure women and chil
dren, io write policies for less than SI,OOO,
to accept premiums oftener than once in
three months, or to call regularly at the
homes of policy-holders for the collection
of premiums. The Metropolitan Life In
surance Company, of New York, which
has recently established a branch
office in this city, meets all- these
objections by its plan of In
dustrial, or “Family,” Insurance.
Under this plan every healthful member
of a family can be insured—father,
mother, brother and sister—from tho
child 1 year of age to tho grandparent at
70. This insurance costs but 5 cents per
week and upward, and polices are an
immediate benefit; no initiation fee is
charged; no increase of payments is re
quired; premiums are collected weekly at
the homes of policyholders; males and
females are taken at the same cost; and
all claims are payable promptly at death.
We commend the Metropolitan to our
readers, and suggest that all who aro in
terested in this plan of insurance call
upon the company’s representative in this
city, Mr, Charles F. Fick, superintend
ent, who has an oftico in rooms 8 and 9,

Caution to Owners of Pianos and Or

We desire to call your earnest atten

parties canvassing from house to house
soliciting tuning, repairing, etc., and
claiming to be in our employ. Complaints
have recently reached us that the work
these parlies were paid to do properly
was not satisfactory at all; that we
ought not to employ such poor workmen,
etc., etc., and requests to send a good
jnan to do it over. All these complaints
were a great surprise, for in no instance
was any order left with us to do the
work complained of. Anv orders left at
our store always receive prompt atten
tion. Our tuner, Mr. G. P. Evans, car
ries our printed card, to which he re
quests the signature of those for whom
the work is done. We never, under any
circumstances, send out men to solicit
work. Schreiner's Music House.—ad.
