Savannah to be the Headquarters of
the Union in Georgia.
The Woman's Christian Temperance
started year ago to establish a state head
quarters in Savannah. The plan of the
union is to erect q Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union building suitable for its
purposes-a building somewhat upon the
order of Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton building-with halls, audience rooms,
reading and sc DOL rooms, offices, etc.
The plan is to raise $40, 900 for this purpose.
So far 81 500 has been pledged, and 81 800
of that amount has been paid in and is in
bank. Savannah has subscribed $500 to
the fund, and the union wants $500 more
here. The managers in control of the fund
are Col. Charles II. Olmstead, Gen. e. P.
Alexander, J. d. Weed, A. II. Macdonell,
and John L. Hardee. Atlanta pledged 81. 900
TO the union, but so far only $500 have
been collected. Subscriptions are also being
received from other states. Through the
influence of Mr.. A. R. Altmayer a subscrip-
ton Of Sl60 has been received from New
York.
Miss Louise Hartman. state organizer Of
the union, and au indefatgable worker, has
taken the canvass for subscriptions in
hand, and under her direction the union
hopes to raise the remaining $500 In Savan-
nah in short time. AS soon as 81, 500 has
been paid in site will be secured, and the
building will be erected, the money to
prosecute the work being assured.
The union expects to open two free kin
dergarten schools, an industrial school for
girls, and free night school for boys next
week. Two experienced teachers are now
on their way from New York. The loca-
ton of the schools has not been fully deter
mined, but they will probably be in the
knights of Pythias building aud in Wesley
Monumental church.
Miss Hartman has received the indorse-
ments, in her work in behalf of the union.

VANDALSAT THEDE SOTO
TEE CURTAINS In THE GRAND
ORA WING ROOM CUT IN Sits.


Six Pairs of Antique Lace Draperies
Mutilated by some Mean Minded
Person-An Of the Curtains in the
Drawing-Room Except at Two Win
dows Sleshed With Knife
The handsome antique lace curtains in
Ehe De Soto's grand drawing-room were cut
and badly mutilated last night by some evil
minded person
The hotel was thron9ed with visitors
Turing the late afternoon and early
evening. People were coming and going
from the drawing-room, so that between
afternoon and dark the mutilatior could
nave been done with little risk Of being
caught, even when there were people in the
room.
There are eight pairs of curtains in the
drawing room, hung with silk brocade, and
all hut two pairs were cut. The mutilation
was evidently done with a sharp knife, and
Slashes from six TO ten inches long were
made in each curtain, as if some person had
stood close to the window and thrust a
knife through the curtain and given it a
quick slash. The only curtains not
put were those in the windows fronting
directly on Bull street. 1t would have been
more risky to have mutilated them, the
windows being directly opposite the draw
Sng-rOom entrance, and IN full view Of the
grand corridor.
The mutilation was not discovered until
late in the evening. 1t was reported at
once when discovered TO Mr.. Ba-
ksF, and he examined the curtains
and the rents, and came to the
conclusion that the cutting must have been
done with knife He has no suspicious as
10 who did it. With hundreds Of
people coming and going all day,
and nearly all of them strangers,
he was at a loss to know whom TO
suspect. The mutilation is one of the
Sneanest acts conceivable.
The curtains were of beautiful lace
work and cost $50 pair.
While the rents can be repaired, the
curtains are badly damaged and viii
room will hereafter be closed except to
guests Of the hotel and to those who are
introduced and are known to the hotel
leople.
MIR. Baker said to a MORNING News re
porter that he cannot imagine any cause
for the act, or that it was prompted by
spite against him or any of his
employees. 1t may have been
done out Of pure maliciousness.
Had the person who did it been caught in
the act be doubtless would have Jared very
badly. The people Of Savannah are proud
of the De Soto, and they will see that it and
whatever is connected with it is protected.

FIGURING ON THE ASSESSMENT.
An Estimate That it Will be Close t,
$25, 100000.

100000.
A gentleman who is very much In.
terested in having a big tax dupli-
cate, so that the rate of city taxation may
be correspondingly increased, estimates that
on fair market valuation of the real estate
and improvements $25, 000, 900 will be pretty
near the mark. Three years ago, when
real estate and improvements were assessed
at only two-thirds of their market value
the valuation appropriated SIG O00. 600
representing a market valuation of
about $24,000,000; and since that
time So, OO0, 900 Of improvements have baa a
added, to say nothing of the increase in the
valuation of property. To this add the
valuation of the ground rent lots. not
assessed for taxation heretofore, and the
valuation viii be nearer $50, 900 900 than
$24, 100000.
TO give an idea how the market value of
real estate and improvement counts up.
the gentleman went carefully over the
property on Bull street from the river to
Gaston street, and it foots up on his ap-
praisement nearly SO, 000, 900, or, to quote his
exact figures, S1,S67 900. The city ex-
change, custom house, Christ church.
Lutheran church, court house, Armory
hall, Chatham academy, the Independent

property, the Baptist church, s.. Jonn's
church, orphan asylum, Y. NJ. C. A. lot, the

Rogue we're left out of the valuation
Should the S25, 10000 figure be reached
in the assessment of real estate and i'm
provements, and the valuation of personal
property be increased as predicted. at the
rate Of per cent. over 1920 900 would be
raised by direct taxation, and if to this are
added the receipts from specific taxes and
ell other revenues to the same amount as
that derived by the city for the year 1888,
It would swell the revenue TO about $685.,
900, or about $4,000 more than was raised
in 1888

A Chapter on Medicine.

Formerly it was considered
that the m ore nauseous the
draught, the worse it tasted, and
the worse it smelled, the better
1t was as a medicine. Dried
toads, pulverized to a powder,
were long the popular pauacea
for fevers. Another was a live
mole baked in an oven. Snakes
are still given by the Chinese.
The old adage, "the hair of the
dog is good for the bite" was
often construed literally, great
ly, we fancy, to the patients
digust. The idea was that sick
ness was a distinct something
produced by witches, and il
took something terrible to drive
him away. Even in our fathers
day, what terrible doses they
used to give of julap and calo-
mel, and how they used to pop
out the lancet on all occasions
and pop it into everybody pret-
ty nearly. The idea still holds
in the heads of some people
that medicine is mostly poison.

order to be efficacious, it ought
