FIREMEx IN NEW UNIFORMS.

The Fire Commission Adopted a
Different Style from the Old Ones.
The firemen appeared in their new sum
mer uniforms yesterday for the first time
1t was about time for them to doff their
winter uniforms, judging by the hight of
the thermometer.
The new uniform differs somewhat from
the style in vogue heretofore. chairman
Grayson of the fire commission thought it
to the department, and this is shown in
the natty appearance Of the new uniforms
Instead OF the old, heavy blue caps the
hremen will now wear jaunty white caps,
with black leather Visors. The front of
the dark blue flannel shirt is-slashed with
two shields of light blue, having the ap-
pearance of the lapels of a waistcoat The
tremen say this is intended to give them
the privilege of going in their shirt sleeves
this summer the regulations heretofore
having required them to wear their coats
while on duty at the station houses. sum
mer as well as winter. Coats are provided
also, but the men look very well in the
new shirts without the coats, and it is
probable that the latter will not be worn
much. The men at headquarters say their
white caps will enable them to get po-
siuOns as ice cream vendors on the streets
while off duty, and they are busy practic-
ing the "hoky -poky' cries. The white
crowns of the caps are detachable, and
each man is provided with three of these,
so that he may have no excuse for appear
ing with a sOiled cap.

by Mr.. J. \. BeaN who assumes one of
the leading roles of his opera. Among the

President d. c. Purse Of the board OF
trade received letter last week from
President E. L. Potter of the ST. Louis
Hay and Grain Exchange. which contain
ed some interesting statements of the
amount of grain on hand and shipments
from that point The letter was in an
swer TO one by President Purse inquiring
as to the possibility of delivering grain
shipments in this direction from St Louis.
Il have been making inVes legations on

eight or nine hundred thousand bushels,

that nearly all of this would be exported
in May and June, and judge such viii be
the case Already some 250.UO1 bushels

for export. There Is not much corn here
now, some 100000 bushels, and / think that
this is contracted for TO go down the river.
/ felt that the only chance al
present to do anything via Savannah

and explained fully your situation. He is
inclined to think that at present it will be

there is plenty of water, plenty of barges
and presume no scarcity of tonnage at
New Orleans. White is exporting wheat
TO Hamburg and Rotterdam. Rate cents
per bushel to New Orleans and about 8is
cents TO the continent; total H. cents PEI

These are the present conditions here, and
with plenty of water, which seems proba-

Capt. Purse thought it would be lust as
Wen TO make these facts public i'm order to
show the savannah people just what they
had to contend with in securing grain
shipments from the west. Mr.. Potter is
president of the Exchange Grain Elevator
Company of St. Louis, which controls the
grain storage business of that city. He

Progression in Life Assurance.

This is a progressive age, and in moth
ing has there been more progress during
the last quarter of century than in life

during the past few weeks by the new

offers several options, one of which will
surely meet any condition that may come
in the future affairs of the policy holder

bodied and guaranteed in the policy, so
that man may at any time look at his

the policy is held the more valuable it
