The Savannah News observes that
an odd manifestation of the grip,
which is epidemic in New York baa
been noted. The tenement districts,
it is said, are apparently suffering very
little from the ailment, while the more
well-to-do districts are characterized
by sneezing and shivering. Persons
who are able to afford an abundance
of the proper kind of clothing and to
avoid the bad weather are bearing the
brunt of the epidemic, while the poor
ly clad thousands who have to rush
around whether it rains or shines are
enjoying fairly good health.
A plan is now being discussed at
Savannah which contemplates a com
bination of the Savannah Volunteer
Guards, whose record goes back nine y
five years J the Chatham Artillery, the
oldest artillery battery in the United
Slates of continuous existence, being
112 years old, and the Georgia Hussars,
or Troop A, of the First Georgia Cav
alry, whose history goes back to colon
I*l times. Thp Guards have, perhaps,
the finest military armory in the south.
The union-cl these three companies
in one club would give the institution
a membership of nearly six hundred.
During late years consumption Las
become a much greater scourge in
Germany, says the Pall Mall Gazette,
and at the Emperor’s suggestion hos
pitals and homes for patients suffering
from diseases of the lungs are to be
founded in those parts of the country
where the aisease is most prevalent. In
Wiesbaden and the surrounding coun
try the cases of whole families dying
of this complaint are of frequent oc
currence, and a hospital for consump
tive patients is to be founded in the
Taunus mountains, in the high, dry
district, as soon as the necessary funds
are collected. \
The Philadelphia Record says:
"Corp!. Tanner, ex commissioner of
pensions, has made the suggestion
that crippled ex-Confederate be ad
mitted to the Northern soldiers 1
homes. This ie a practical benevo
lence, and aw improvement on the
sentimental recommendation of Presi
dent McKinley to pay honor to the
Confederate dead. As the South helps
to pay whatever money is expended
bw the federal government in the sup
port of soldiers'homes, the proposition
bagjji justice as well as of
mercTfffT willingness to help extin
guish every remaining ember of the
past sectionalism.”

volopeE Unriau a Trial.
"That calls to mind a queer expert-
i once of my own," raid a lawyer who
had listened to a story. "Some yearn
ago I defended a fellow for murder in a
> little southern town, and the worst wlt
nem wo had against us was an old Ger
man who was a ataokbuilder by trade.
A stack, by the way. Is merely another
• name for a big cbitunoy.
! "The old fellow was perfectly bonesl
and gave his evidence in such a clear,
i straightforward manner that I felt my
client was doomed unless I could think
of some way to break him down. While
I was cudgeling my brains a friend
whispered to me to ask him bow high
he could build a stack. 'What do you
' mean?’ 1 asked, in surprise. ‘Never
i mind,’ said my friend. ‘Just slip in
, that question and see. ’
"So at the tail end of the cross exam
ination 1 paused, as if struck by an aft
erthought, and said, ‘You are a stack
builder,! believe?' ‘Yes, sir,' replied
the witness. ‘Well, sir,’l continued,
! ‘about how high can you build’— I
never got any further. A swift, inscru
table change flashed over the German’s
I face, and be rose excitedly from his
chair. ‘As high as der sky I’ he roared.
‘So high dose angels come around it
like birds I'
■ "In five seconds be was raving. You
tee, the man was a monomaniac—sane
' on every subject but one, and my friend
happened to know his weak spot. It Is
i hardly necessary to say that his evi
dence in regard to the homicide was
promptly ruled out. by the judge, and
aS there was no other witness of impor
tance my man was cleared. The rascal
should have been hanged and would
have been but for the lucky reference

Democrat.
TWO OF THEM.
Private O'Mara* Tert Retort to His
I’aaecommoAatia* Coleael.
Here is a story tbld of Patrick O’Mars,
a private in the Ninth regulars: Not
long ago ho went to the colonel, who
was a severe disciplinarian, for a two
weeks’ leave of absence.
"Well," said the colonel, "what do
you want a two weeks’ furlough for?”
Patrick answered, "Me woife is very
sick, and the children are not well, and
if ye didn’t mind she would like to
have me home for a few weeks to give
her a bit of assistance.”
The colonel eyed him for a few min
utes and said: "Patrick) I might grant
your request, but I got a letter from
your wife this morning saying that she
didn’t want you home; that you were
a nuisance and raised the devil when
ever you were there. She hopes I won’t
let yon have any more furloughs.”
"That settles it. I suppose I can’t
get the furlough then?” said Pat.
"No, I’m afraid not, Patrick. It
wouldn’t be well for me to do so under
the circumstances.”
It was Patrick’s turn now to eye ths
colonel as be started for the door. Stop
ping suddenly, he said:
"Colonel, can I say something to
yez?”
“Certainly, Patrick. What is it?"
"You won’t get mad, colonel, if 1
say it?’!
"Certainly not, Patrick. What is it?”
"I want to say there are two splendid
liars in this room, and I’m one of them.
I was never married in me loife.’’—
New York Tribune.
She Studied French.
Four young women were walking to
gether on Charles street today and en
gaged in animated conversation.
" What do you think I done today,
Clara?” said one. "I translated 40
pages of French exercise. Wasn’t that
fine?”
"Fine,” said the other, “I should
say it was. I wish I bad done as good.
I only translated 20.”
Comment is unnecessary, but one
feels like asking, Is this a sign of the
times? Is what Mme. Butterfly called
"United States American English” be
ing neglected for the so called accom
plishments?
Ono can forgive the woman who,
gazing at some renaissance lace, bland
ly remarks, "Ah, that is the ‘Renny
sant,’ ” but for the.girl who assiduous
ly studier French and murders English
meanwhile, as Macbeth murdered sleep,
there seems no possible excuse.—Balti
more News.
What la a Signature?
When Constable was requested to put
his signature to one of his pictures, he
answered, “Why, my dear sir, it is
signed all over. ” Let the preacher pre
serve his personality, and his sermon
also will be "signed all over. ” A num
ber of Thackeray’s pen and ink sketches
were sold not long since in London,
and, although they bore no monogram
or signature, no one disputed their gen
uineness. A true preacher also cannot
be hid.
That which John had seen and with
his own bands handled of the word of
life could never be to any other person
just what it was to him. A preacher
who puts himself into his sermon is as
readily detected in his sermon as any
where else. Even his apprehension of
truth, his way of looking at it, his fash
ion of delivering it, is all his own. Let
us repeat it. His sermon will be "signed
all over.” —Homiletic Review.
Perish the Thought!
First Golfer—l believe I could make
some money getting out a cheap golf
dictionary.
Second Golfer—Don’t do it, man;
don’t do it. Do you want the sacred
language of the game to become com

MUTUAL iff INSURANCE CO.
OF NEW YORK.
Breaks The Dividend Record.
It tas always held the record securely, but the claim paid by the compa
ny upon a policy issued to Mr. Mark Banks, of Connecticut, the particulars
of which are given here, shows that THE MUTUAL LIFE has in this in
stance eclipsed all previous dividend results:
Mr. Banks was insured for • •• 85,000 00
The dividends amounted to. 12,028.00
Paid to the estate $17,028.00
How does this happen? Mr. Banks paid all the premiums in cash, and
he did this for fifty-tour years. He did not utilize any portion of the divi
dends in payment of premiums, but permitted the Company to invest these
1 for his benefit. Here are the particulars:
1 Policy No. 1,288. Issued March 5,1845. Amount $5,000.
Age 40. Annual premium, $l6O. , Life Plan.
Original insurance in 1845, $5,000
Dividend additions paid in 1898, 12,028.00
Amount of death claim $17,828,00
54 Premiums paid by insured ■ 8,640.00
Realized to estate over premiums paid.. •.. $8,388 00
Being nearly equal to a return of all the premiums paid with two and a halt ,(24) per,
cent, compound interest per annum, with insurance increasing annually from ss,ot©
at age 40, to $17,028 at age 94.
The dividend additions paid to the estate were 139 per cent, of all the premiums
paid for tbe insurance. , .
Mr. Mark Banks was the treasurer and cashier joL the Greenwich- Savings
Bank, and died at the good old age of hinetyyfour.' He appreciated the
Eower of compound interest, and nie wisdom is exemplified by the result -o:'
is method of investment —a result that has bya policy
holder in any other company in the world.
For best plans of insurance please consult me.
