is why this sale is absolutely beyond
and above all competition.
Many of your neighbors have con-
vinced themselves of this fact, and if
you will carefully investigate the mat
ter you will find that until the close
of this sale we are in position to save
you every dollar of profit that other
wise accrues on an instrument from
the time it leaves the factory until it
is sold. This is not mere idle talk. We
mean exactly what we state. We guar
antee to give you a finer and in every
way superior upright piano for S3lS
than any dealer in the State can sell
you for S475. and q better, perfectly
new piano for $16S than is offered else
where for $500.
There are no more perfect or beauti-
full pianos manufactured in this coun-
try than the Knabe. the Fischer, the
Kimball and Decker Brothers. To
praise or eulogize these makes, their
excellent tone, their superior construc-
ton, their elastic and accurate touch,
would be as superfiuous as to paint
the lily" to "gild refined gold See
these instruments in their various, ele-
CANT styles. in plain or fancy natural
wood cases, but see them to-day; to-
morrow it may be too late.
Our terms, to wind up matters as
quickly as possible, have been made
so reasonable that no one need hesitate
to purchase a piano at this time. If
you can spare so a month, which is
little more than the rent Of a fine pi-
ano, put S25 in your pocket for first
payment, and come to the Kohler &
Chase Music House, 721 K street, near
Postofice, at once and we will fix you
out with an excellent piano for little
more than the price of an organ

REFUGE FOR ROWING JACK.
SAVANNAH PORT soCIETY's PRO-
POSED SAILORS HOME.

The Society to Erect Handsome
Building at st. Julian and Lincoln
streets-The Plans Already Drawn
and the Contract Ready to BE Sign
ed-The Building to Cost $4,000,
and VIII Have Accommodations
for $50 Sailors, BESIDES Reading
Rooms, Lecture Room and suDerin-
tendenfs Quarters-AbOut $4,000
Needed to Complete the Work.
Savannah is likely to have soon another
public building of handsome design, and
devoted to philanthropic purposes.
The remarkable growth OF the work be-
gun a few years ago by the Savannah
Port Society OF providing comfortable and
attractive quarters for the sailors visiting
the port, has been such that the directors
and leading workers of the society some
time ago recognized the necessity of
building equipped and fitted for it. They
have been quietly working to that end,
and now believe that they have reached
the point where the realization of their
hopes is in view.
The lot at st. Julian. Lincoln and Con-
gress streets was acquired some time ago
at a cost Of $1,000. The lot has a front of
ninety feet on st. Julian, by depth of
sixty feet on Lincoln. On this lot the
society proposes to erect handsome
4-story brick and stone building, occupy
ing the entire lot Its purposes were made
known to Mr.. G. L. Norman Of Atlanta,
and complete plans for the building have
The architectural features of the build
ing are shown in the cut. The chapel and
lecture room will be on the first floor.

Enstmnn,s Progress.

The town of Eastman has accepted the
proposition of the Eastman Electric Light
and Telephone Company to put in sup

franchise for establishing a telephone ex-
change The contract was awarded to the
Savannah Electric Supply and Construc-
ton Company and work will commence
Immediately, under the supervision of Mr.
Joseph S. Walker of that
company. To begin with, they
will put in thirty arc lights of 1000
candle power capacity and 800 incandescent
lights of 10 candle power Fifty of the lat
est and most improved telephones win be
placed.
The Electric Supply and Construction
Company is now the leading electric supply
and construction concern of the south, and
it is constantly increasing its facilities for
the prompt and careful handling of all
orders. Either for supplies or construction.

with the entrance on Lincoln street. The
remainder of the first floor will be divided
into large reading rooms, where a full
supply of gbod literature will be kept, in
GLIDING newspapers from all the principal
ports of the world The other three stories
will be divided into sleeping rooms, with
accommodations for as many as $50 sail
ors. Bath rooms and all conveniences
will be provided. The rooms will be ar
ranged with a view to allowing the sepa-
ration of crews where it is desirable to
do So The basement will be used as a
storage and furnace room.
The building will be ornamental and
commanding. With it's hight and tower 1t
will be i'm plain view of the bay and the
river. and will be as easily accessible as
If located on the Bay.
There Is no benevolence in Savannah
that is more practical, or more worthy OF
the support of practical men who desire
to do good, than that of the Port Society.
Some people seem to entertain the idea
that the rooms are designed exclusively
for preaching to the seamen. The fact
is this is only one of a number of pur-
poses. This society offers the only place
in Savannah which furnishes headquar-
ters of moral and unobjectionable char
acter to sailors in this port; the only
place where they can receive their NAH
and write to their homes, outside, OF
course. Of those connected with saloons,
and where their surroundings will be al
WAYS wholesome and elevating When the
weather demands it, fires make the rooms
comfortable, and the purpose of their er-
flcient superin !endent is always to make
sailors feel perfectly at home.
Savannah is peculiarly situated as a
port in its relation to its seamen, because
there is a necessary sanitary ordinance

river for several months out of the year.
and there are other months when the best
opinion Is that il Is not entirely safe for
them 10 sleep upon the river Ii becomes.
therefore, particularly important that
proper sleeping quarters should be fur
nished them. Salt water ports, like
charleston. brunswick and Feruandina,
have no compulsory regulation like that
mentioned, and. therefore, the provision
made by the Sayannah Port Society IS
particularly wise and fortunate In this
city.
Savannah owes so much to commerce
that II is difficult for the city to do too
much for the sailors who come here dur
ing the business season. Proper treat
ment Is not only demanded from the
standpoint Of religion and good morals,
but even upon the lower plain of policy
and expediency. Such treatment COM
mends the port not only to the sailors. but
to their captains and the owners of the
vessels, and helps 20 advance its reputa-
ton upon right lines, to the manifest benz
Ell OF the port and the city,
The building Is expected to cost not less
than $4,000. Arrangements have been
made for "A loan of $4,000. which the So
