TYBEES NEW HOTEL
THE BUILDING READY TO BE
TURNED OVER TO TIE COMPANY.

The Architect and Hotel Directors
Inspect the Property-Some Of the
Features o. the Hotel-A Building
That VIII Give Savannsh's Favorite
Seaside Resort q Boom Next Season.
The Hotel Tybee,a as the new hotel at
Savannah's seaside resort has been christ
ened, was inspected yesterday afternoon,
preparatory t. its acceptance from the
hands OF the contractors, by the officers
and directors Of the hotel company. The
party, consisting Of President J. J. Ds'e,
Vice President J. J. McDoDough, Directors
J. r. Sheldon, q. HartTidge, William
Kehoe, C. F. Prendergast ald Andrew
Hanley, Secretary and Treasurer J. F..
Brooks, aud Architect A. Eichberg, Of
Messrs. Eichberg & Wheeler, went down on
the O'Clock train and spent the afternoon
in examining the building.
The hotel is not of any special style Of
architecture, but might, Mr.. Eichberg re-
marked, be called Swiss Renaissance. Il
has 10 guests rooms and thirty rooms for
ether purpo ses. The main building is 30
fest in length, and mas frontage On the
beach Of 205 feet. IL has all the modern
improvements electric bells speaking
tubes, gas and water, bath rooms. etc, and
stand pipes and hyGrants for fire protection.
The guests rooms have, IN addition TO the
usual doors, Stat doors, 50 that the rooms
can be private and at the same time time
have ample ventilation. Passages are left
between the rooms so as to let the breeze
pass through the rooms from whichever di-
reetion it may blow.
In every respect the hotel is a model for
a seaside resort, and the architects deserve
credit for their successful effort in planning
a building 50 admirably adapted for the
purpose for which Z is intended.
The dining room Is large, airy and hand
some. II is l26x45 feat. Immediately ad-
joining it, and separated By double doors,
Is the carving room. and adjoining that u
the kitchen and other rooms belonging -
tie culinary department.
Work was tsgnn on the hotel Feb. -, ss
which time the site on which the building
now stands was a series Of irregular "a I'd
dunes. which had to be leveled as ths
foundations were laid out The work has
vigorously pushed TO completion by the
contractors, Aessrs- WintOn a. Burgess.
but il can be said to the credit Of the gen
tlsmen that nothing has been sighted.
They have given to 1ybee a hotel which IS
a monument to their skill and fidelity
Those who have not seen the hotel will be
surprised when they do. Il doubtless has
no superior at any other watering place or
summer resort. It is worth a visit to Tybes
to see the new adjunct 20 Ssvannah's grow
ing prosperity, and it would doubtless be
appreciated If tie hotel company should
open 1t to the public for inspection.

HAULING UP The DOC OWNERS.

The dog law is being enforced for all it is

have been collected for up to date. There
are about $50 more to be paid for yet. A
great many people refuse to pay the dog
tax, aid whenever they 90 they are sum

which is an additional outlay of 81. It is
far better TO pay the tax when notified. the
clerk said. Every body whose name was re-
ported at the last census will be taxed
whether they have dog now or not Those
people whose tax cannot be collected now
because they are out of the city, will be
called upon when they return, and if thew
refuse 10 pay, they will be called before
the mayor, and the g will be collected.
Forty cases were before the mayor YES
terday, and they were treated in this way.
Their taxes were collected aud they were
forced to take out a badge. This is the sec
ond season that the dog tax law has been
In force. It was not rigidly enforced last
season, because the yellow fever epidemic in
Florida deranged business. The collector
quit collecting dog taxes about this time
last year and the number of people he had
col ected from was about the same as that
of this year.
Mr.. kebarer said that two years ago the
pound law was in force, but it was very
Unsatisfactory, and nothing like the revenue
accrued to the city that has from tue

Reported Up to This Time.
The advices received by cotton factors
from planters in South Georgia and Florida
report the caterpillars plenty. They do not
seem to be so much in the.upland crop, but
in the sea island section and especially in
the western portions of Florida they have
done some damage. though not a great deal
yet In one or two counties the top crop
was eaten, which of course will result in
only half crop in those localities.
There is also some complaint of shedding.
1t is said that the first caterpillars over on
the Carolina coast and islands have disap-
peared by the liberal use of Paris green.
but reports say that the second generation
is webbing up, and it is from this source
that the most danger is epprehended. Ii is
yet entirely too early for them to show any
harm, and there is ample time to counter.

The reports of the condition of cotton in
general from the entire cotton belt are
pretty good. In fact, there is a better
average reported up to this time THAI for
several years.
