 THE BIGGEST, BRIGHTEST, BES7.

The most successful and growing stores in the country to-day are the large, complete and many sided stores, with goods suited to all needs, tastes and purses Looked at from single standpoint, they may seem too voluminouss and complex. Looked st from the standpoint of the varied demands of the day, nothing less will suffice. There is test like experience and practical results, and these support the complete stores.
 sOurs is the largest and most complete general outhtting establishment on the coast, as it is also the most successful It has the largest trade bot! at home and through the mails, and shows the most rapid growth, and its growth has been the most rapid just as its assortments were at their best and highest.
 The key to its success is that it furnishes what the peope-and all the people-want It ministers to every demand. It is varied and all-embracing. All its customers may not buy in every department perhaps, but everyone finds what he looks for and is interested in. There coarse stout goods for rough usage plain, serviceable goods for everyday wear, and fashionable and costly goods from Vienna Paris, London and other market centers the world In each of these grades only the best makes rep resented while the prices always low, and ill most cases lower than those of all other dealers.
 These facts are cited for the benefit of out of town persons who wish to deal through the mails. We believe that we have stated nothing that is not accepted by those who know Men believe what they see, and everyone who comes to Sacra- mento sees the truth for himself.

TIE PUBLIC BUILDING.
Mayor Lester Says the Government
will Not Accept the Trust Lots.

Mayor Lester says the government
will Not Accept the Trust Lots.
Where the public building is to be located
continues to be the great unsolved conun-
drum. The delegation which went on to
Washington, while it seems to have pre-
sented quite a number of eligible sites for
consideration, did not succeed in getting
either of them adopted.
Mayor Lester was seen yesterday by a
MORNING NEWS reporter and was asked if
there are any new developments growing
out of his visit and that Of Capt. Wheaton
TO Washington which would be of interest
to the public. He replied that he was very
sorry TO say that he had nothing new to re-
port The MORNING NEWS, he said, had
covered all the ground gone over here and
at Washington. Since his return home he
has heard nothing further on the subject.
All the papers were turned over to Mr.
Norwood, and beyond that Col Lester has
been Informed of no new details connected
with the matter.
Referring to the suggestion that por-
ii on of the old cemetery might afford a
suitable site for the erection of the proposed
building the Mayor said that the govern
ment always wanted undisputed titles The
title to the old cemetery, he added, had
been unsettled for a hundred years and is
not now any nearer decided than it was a
century ago. He did not think the govern
ment would wait for the Legislature to en-
power the City Council to grant portion
OF its streets to widen any of the proposed
sites. such as the Christ church property or
the court house property. None of the
trust lots are acceptable because they are
too narrow. There are, however, many
other sites that have been offered, and he
mentioned the Hops property on Bull
street and the site at York and Abercorn
treetS.
Mayor Lester is still laid up with his
sprained ankle, and in abiding to the fact
that he had gone through the crowd
on the day of the dedication of
the Jasper monument without get
ting jar on the painful member he
qualified the remark with a smile as he
said II believe Mrs Cleveland did touch it
when she got in the carriage, but l could
stand that from such clever little

OVER FIFTY THOUSAND.
THE CITY's POPULATION FIXED
AT $4,000.

An Increase of 1917 in Two Years
The White Population 2o,119 and
the Colored %, 6o1-What the New
Directory Census Shows-The 10 Per
Cent. Increase of the Last Two Years
Equivalent to a so Per Cent Deci-
NAL Increase-The Clty's New Indus
tries.
1t has been understood for some time that
the canvass for the new City Directory was
developing a large increase in the popula-
ton, and the completion and consolidation
of the returns has been looked forward to
with much interest by those who are proud
of Savannah's growth and prosperity.
The compilation of the canvassers' reports
have now been completed, and the result
shows an increase III population which far
exceeds tho expectations of the most san
guine.
The city's population as reported in Feb
ruary, 1886, was Is 493.
THE CIrY's POPULATION.
The present census gives it 81, 500, an in
crease of 1911 The population is now
20, l1S whites and %, G9l colored.
The number Of names in the new direc-
tory is rs, S4S-whites 10, 267, and colored
6,5Sl The number of names in the last
directory was l43GO-whites 1856, and col
ored 5,003. This years total gain is
Z, 4SS-whites 81 per cent. and colored
l5 Is per cent
In pleasant chat with Publisher A. f.
Sholes last night he stated that the increase
in population IS not a boom increase but
rather a heathful one Of about 10 per cent
In the past two years equivalent to a de
cennial increase of 80 per cent. The in
crease was more noticeable in the eastern
western and southern suburbs, where the
city is growing rapidly.
THE GROWTH OF INDUSTRIES.
Among the added industries since the can
vass was made for the last directory, MIR.
Sholes cited the Southern Cotton Oil Mills
and the Commercial Guano Company,
which two industries, he says, gives employ
ment to about 200 people. Heestimates the
number of new buildings erected in the
past year at between 25Oand 800, and others
are in course of construction The whole
number of buildings IN the city he estimates
between 10000 and II 600, and he says there
are fewer eligible houses va
cant in the residence portions
than in any place he has ever canvas5ed.
He takes this as a strong indication of the
progressive spirit and healthful growth Of
Savannah, and this is further strengthened
by the fact that the support he has received
III his forthcoming directory has been more
liberal than for several years past.
Mr.. Sholes fixes the number of pages in
the new directory at 40. He hopes to be
able to issue the hook on Friday or Satur-
day.

Best of Shape.

The Southern League Not in the Very
Best of Shape.
President Wilson says that he will make
no further effort to get more clubs in the
Southern League, and he thinks there is
more money to be made with the four clubs
than in any other way.
Manager Goldsby has suggested a
schedule. He fayors a season of ninety
games, which will give each club forty-tive
games at home and only three trips abroad
This will reduce travelling expenses to a
minimum. By this plan each series viii
consist of five games and each club viii play
the same number Of games at home. Each
club will play fifteen games at home and
then go abroad for an equal number With
this schedule the season will end about
Sept. LIST.
President Wilson will call the schedule
COMMITTEES to meet in Birmingham some
time i'll March.
There is a movement on foot in Atlanta
for the establishment of a Georgia league.
A number of citizens have expressed them
selves heartily in favor of the proposed
league. The idea seems to be to form clubs
composed of local amateurs, bringing in a
few professionals to make the game inter
esting If the league is formed it will EN-
brace every large city in Georgia. Steve
A. Ryan, who has always taken interest i'll
the sport, says that he favOrs such a league
much more Nlan the Southern League and
would be much more pleased to see Atlanta

Southern League 1t is argued that where
the talent is local much more interest will
centre in the sport, and the expenses will at
the same time be leSsened.

PURIM'S JOYOUS FEAST.
The Great Festival in the Hebrew CAL
endar and What it Means.

The Great Festival in the Hebrew Cal
endar and What it Means.
The Jewish feast of Purim began at
shutdown Saturday The festival, angli-
cized, means casting of lots" and is so
called from the fact that lots were daily
cast for the space of twelve months in or
der to ascertain the suspicious day for the
destruction of the Jewish people through
out the land of Persia. The festival was
instituted by the rabbis and is founded
book of Esther, the reading Of which consti-
tutes large portion of the Synagogue ser
vice.
1t celebrates the deliverance of the Jews
from the strategems and wiles of Hannah
and his sons through the Providence of God
and the aid of his pious instruments, Nor
decai and Esther
The holiday has two-fold character, the
first day being observed as a fast in COM
memoration of the pious act of Esther, who
abstaned from food and drink for three
days, devotng them to the invocation of
God and the Persian monarch III behalf of
her prosecuted brethren.
The second day is observed as a time for
rejoicing and benevolent deeds, in feasting
interchange of presents, and the bestowal
of generous aims to the poor, that they also
shall be made happy. The reason assigned
for this time-honored custom is because, as
in the decree of Hannah, no distinction was
made between the high and the lowly, the
rich or poor, but all Israel We're doomed 70
utter destruction; so it is deemed Just and
proper that all Israel should have equal
cause to feel joyful on this day. For this
reason in every cline and Jewish commu-
nifty the poor are always remembered and
assisted on Purim.

from me san francisco f..cdnltflef.
81 was reading something in your paper
about snakes the other day. said j. D. An
drews, an Oregon pioneer. Let me tell
you of peculiar experience l had with
snakes. / have a farm on the Mollalla, a
few miles from Oregon City, near an oblong,
rock-covered hill called Rattlesnake Hill,
which for years has just been swarming
with them. In the spring, when the weather
gets warm, rattlesnakes come out of the
lodges and drift down on the creek bottoms
becoming very Troublesome. My farm being
only three miles away these reptiles become
each year more and more troublesome, en-
dangering especially the lives of my children,
who, despite all | could do, would persist in
going about barefooted.
well, a year ago last spring they
swarmed into my wheat field so thickly that
| couldn't cut it when it was ripe. This
may sound odd to you, but it if a fact But
got some of my nelghbors to help me, and
plowed several burrows around the field,
and then laid hair ropes around it and set
fire to the wheat. Well, of all the Sizing
and frying and strange squawks and noises
you ever heard we had them there. Such
lot of rafting and leaping up and display
ing forked tongues, | don't think anybody
ever before saw. OF course they ran from
the fire. but the hair rope on the further
side turned them, until we had complete
circle of fire around them.
"Well, when the wheat was burned off
there were thousands Of dead rattlesnakes.
They were thicker in the middle than any
where else, and were twisted and tied to-
gether in knots and punches almost as tight
as barrel. l guess we must have made a
clean sweep of them that time, for they
have never put in an appearance there
