Importance, and I cannot too strongly
urge that immediate and energetic steps
be taken to correct this evil. 1t may seem
difficult task to accomplish, since 1t
should be done at once and in the short
est possible time. but l believe il can be
done and have in my possession a COM
munieation from a responsible firm in this
city, who propose or guarantee to fill the
vaults and replace them by
metallic pals or boxes; to
exchange and clean the pals once a
week at cheaper rate than is now lone
for emptying vaults only once a year"
The subject of city dispensaries is dis
cussed and some interesting figures are
given. On this subject, DR.. LeHardy
says:
Il consider the present system of dis
pensing for the poor at number of places
in the city the best one for the purpose 1t
was intended. There are now serious OBJ
jections to it, but these objections can be
easily removed and the same system be
carried out at rates which win be more
advantageous to the city than ever before.
md upon careful inquiry that the gross
cost of the city dispensary for four years
from 1885 to 1888 inclusive, was for each
prescription 201a cents; that is
to say cost of drugs in each prescription,

have, after consultation with the city drug
gists and city physicians, induced them
to make a proposition which l consider
quite practicable. They have agreed to
do away with all proprietary medicines,
which are costly and simply a luxury.
They will furnish regular medicine at the
cost of Is cents per. prescription. In case
special prescriptions are needed, they will
have to be approved by the health Off

With this reduction in cost, which has
been brought about through the efforts CT
DR.. LeHardy, it is more than likely that
the present system of dispensing medi-
cines will be continued

have made will be kept with Knightly
fidelity.
For many months we have been look
ing forward with happy anticipations 20
this meeting with our Savannah breth-
rem, and il is a matter of congratulation
to us that we are to spend the next three
days in your beautiful city. Savannah is
a stronghold of the order, and some of
the best and noblest examples of Pythan
Knighthood are found among your mem
bership. To meet and know the rank and
file of your lodges will prove the source
of many happy recollections in the years
to come, and we rejoice at this opportuni-
ty of cultivating their acquaintance and
cementing friendships begun in other
places.
The story of the regal way in which
you entertain your friends on festive oc-
casions. such this, reads like a ro-
nance. My brothers, who visit your city
for the first time, will be astonished at
your magniicence, and ali of US will be
charmed with the knightly courtesy and
the real Pythian spirit to be met with on
every hand. The impressions we will re-
ceive will be lasting and beneficial, for
there are many valuable things we may
and will learn of you during our brief
stay. Perhaps some of us, among other
things, may acquire a knowledge of geog-
raphy, such as we never had, and dis
cover that Savannah is a part, a very i'm
portant part, of Georgia, and we will
surely learn that the men who have help
ed to make this beautiful city great and
famous are our brother Knights. Long
before the hour for departure to our sew
eral homes has arrived, we win have be-
come convinced that Savannah, with it's
beautiful streets and parks its stately
homes and lovely women, is the abode of
men who have become past supreme
chancellors In the art of entertaining"
My brother, we will enjoy our stay; 1t
cannot be other than delightful, and l
promise that you never had visitors to
your city who will appreciate more hearth
ly your courteous attentions. When fond
memory brings the light of other days
around u.s. no part of the past will be more
pleasing to look upon than the pictures of
this trip to Savannah"
With Mr.. Warrens speech the public
exercises were brought to close, Gen.
Harmon announcing that the session of
the grand lodge would then be taken up.

The burlesque game of bali between the
Young Mems Christian Association and
the Young Mems Hebrew Association
teams at c. L.. A park yesterday after
noon was the most unique of its character
ever seen in Savannah. 1t was an anus
ing exhibition.
The players wore Mother Hubbard gowns,
and the most of them were extremely loud
as to pattern. In fact, the aggregated
loudness of the costumes was so great that
at times it was difficult to hear the UNI

the fifth inning, bringing in three men who
were on bases, he blushed redder than his
very red dress. which would put to shame

Howard Cohen, with his graceful car
riage and petite figure, won a great deal
of applause from the bleachers for the
manner in which he handled his skirts
and the way he fitted from base to base
like bird on the wing.
The game made no pretensons as to
scientific exhibition. but as an amusing
farce it was a huge success and was en-
joyed by a large crowd.
The following is the score:

To-day.
The game of ball. which was to be
played at c. L. A. park this afternoon
between Augusta and Savannah, has been
called off.
There were several reasons for the
abandonment Of the game, and Manager
Mulherin of the Augusta team was wired
yesterday morning not to bring his team.
The grounds are not in as good condition
as they might be. and with the counter
attractions of the afternoon, the manage
ment of the Library team thought it best
not to bring Augusta down.
The announcement that there will be no

BOYS IN CAMP.
"Still Padding" for Deer and
Other Sports in the
Breezy Woods.

The boys and girls who can spend
part of the summer in the Adirondacks
are to be envied. 1t is better than read
ing an adventure tale to actually live
where one can eat bear meat and veni-
son, and go fishing for lake trout, with
the possibility of 24-pounder ever be-
fore ones eyes, and to really sleep in a
camp" All right-minded boys like to
sleep in a camp, and even the most
luxurious cottage generally has one
rude open hut of logs, with bark roof
and bed of hemlock boughs, for the
younger members of the family.
No real boy ever stays long in the
woods, near a boat without learning
how to "still hunt" for deer; or at least
how to paddle without making the
slightest noise, bringing the blade of
the paddle forward for each new stroke
edgewise and without raising it from
the water, and doing this, so that nc
ripple breaks from it.
Thus, too, it is a source Of never-fail-
ing pleasure to look for deer tracks by
the edge of marshy streams and about
"springholes' where the pretty crea-
lures come to drink during the night
1t is thrilling thing to see the clean
cut little hoofprints-though guides and
grown-ups sometimes take all the poet
ry out of the sight by pointing out how
much the tracks look like those of pigs
OF late years deer have been so numer-
Gus and so tame that the farmers sons
| sometimes have to go and drive them
out of the corn or grain; for they can't
be kept out by fence like cattle, but
will jump over an obstruction far high
er than their heads to get at green fod-
der.
Pulling up water lilies with long
stems trailing from the oozy black mud
is another favorite amusement, espe-
cially if there are girls along. An ac-
curate census of the water lilies of the
woods would probably fix their number
at 1923, ,796, ,314,45 or thereabouts. And
when it comes to red raspberries and
blueberries and huckleberries, one
might as well give up reckoning in de-
spair.
OF late years the woods have chang
ed, so that tennis and bicycling are
now just as possible there as anywhere
else, and the golf links of Keene
Heights and other points are among
the fairest In the world.

each letter being put in its place sep
arately. In all the work of making q
map plate, great care has to be taken
to go entirely through the wax to the
metal, in order that the printing surface
may be sharp and clear. Until the last
lines and letters have been put in place.
the plate, and of course the men at work
upon it, must be kept where the tenn
perature never falls below 90 Degrees
and this renders the map engravers oc-
cupation a somewhat undesirable one.
This matter of temperature is a most
important one; the thermometer must
be constantly consulted while map en-
craving is in progress, since few de-
grees too much would soften the wax
and possibly melt it, and two or three
degrees too little would unduly harden
it.
When the engraver Is through with
his work the plate is put into cool
place, that the wax may thoroughly
"set" or harden. After that the waxed
side of the plate Is busted evenly with
plumbago or black lead, and the plate Is
suspended in an electrotyping bath car
rying copper in chemical solution.
Through the solution strong electric
current is passed, and this deposits the
copper in thin shell on the waXed
plate, the metal being carried into all
the little depressions made by the tools
and wheels in the wax. When a suf-
ficient thickness of copper is taken from
the bath, the steel plate is separated
from the copper film and the wax is
peeled off, leaving a perfect relief plate
of the map. After this has been 'back-
ed by type metal, so as to be type
high" it is ready for printing, though
in fact this plate or original is rarely
used for printing. In most cases it is
preserved, so that other plates can be
made from 1t. since single plate would
not stand the wear of the press long
enough to admit the production of a
large edition.

of-doors dress of the summer girl.
Granted that it combines all these,
who wouldn't be "a piazza lady?
Follow a few examples. The first
three were chosen from the costumes
Worn by the members of a gay house
party assembled on one of the notable
of Newport's piazzas a day or two ago
in honor of the eighteenth birthday of
the daughter of United States sena-
tor. The young woman herself, who
has brown hair and eyes and a provok-
ingly piquant face not quite to be call
ed pretty, was dressed in cerise pink,
the darling of fashion this season. She
wore a blouse of pink silk muslin and
cream co1ored lace, the muslin being
coaxed into narrow frills of fine killing
set across the bodice to humor the sum-
mer fancy for horizontal lines. Be-
tween the five airy frills were placed in
sertions of guipure. The close-fitting,
rucked sleeves had a killed frill down
the outside of the arm, and at the
shoulders were lace epaulettes with
muslin frills. This blouse was mounted
on cerise pink silk and was worn with
an accordion pleated skirt of pink mus
lin sparsely figured with cream. 1t is
my opinion that the mania for accor-
dion pleating, for no milder word will
answer is another cause to be reckon
ed with in accounting for the popular
ity of the piazza gown. Accordion
pleating is serviceable on piazza, and
since one must wear it one must locate
in the place where it can be worn.
This particular pleated skirt was not
hung over a silk slip but over second
skirt of unfgured pink muslin with a
narrow pink frill at the hem. Below
this came silk petticoat and the whole
effect was more summer-like and airy
than can be obtained with the silk slip
alone. A Leghorn hat trimmed with
roses and great white osprey finished
a frock that fulfilled the most essential
requirements of piazza dress; to a
mans eyes 1t looked simple, cool and
extremely becoming; to a woman's up
to-date, a perfect work of art and not
hotter than fine frocks have to be.

TO MAKE A
DOVE COTE.
Something Prettier Than a
Mere Box With Holes
in It.
Easily Made if You Have a COrrect
Plan-Exact Instructions That
Will Give Good Results.

There are many boys who have pi-
geons, but every boy who owns them
may not have a good cote. Mere boxes
with holes in them answer practical
purposes very well, but they are not
nearly so nice in appearance as the
house-shaped cote with pitched roof
and landings under the windows.
The illustration shows one that can
readily be made by any one who can
drive nail and push handsaw.
Obtain from a grocery store two large
soap boxes, and carefully break them
up, taking care not to split any of the
boards. Make front and back for the
cote of corresponding size, about twen-
ty-four inches wide, twenty inches high
at the sides, and thirty inches high in
the centre to top of peak. 1t will take
three or four boards for each of these;
to hold them together, nail strips, or
battens, across the inside. Then make
a bottom board and the two sides; the
latter should be twenty inches high and
twelve inches wide.
Next, with q key-hole saw, cut the
holes in the front for the pigeons to go
in and out and then fasten the sides
and back to the bottom. Arrange three
shelves, one on the line formed by the
bottom Of each tier of holes; fasten on
the front, and lastly the roof.
Each floor can be divided into three
compartments if desired; but they must
not be too small, else they will be USE
less. Cut five small angular brackets
to support the shelf outside each line of
holes. To support the bottom she1

lawn edged on either side with frills
of narrow lace, and the bodice showed
alternating tucks and frills. The sleeves
followed quite the most popular whim
of the moment, being decorated like
the bodice with frills and tucks, and
dispensing altogether with shoulder
puffs or epaulettes. Instead the arm
trimmings We're carried all the way up,
becoming just little broader and more
imposing at the top. The feature of
the dress was a great white muslin
fichu whose ends fell to the ground.
I have talked about elaborate piazza
dresses only, but this is not because
do not think a. girl can look quite as
summery and be far more comfortable
in a smart Jacket and skirt suit of
pique with heavy embroidered inser-
ton and a silk shirt waist of pink,
mauve or yellow.

ELLEN OSBORNS FASHION LETTER.
Newport Bellies Wear Pretty Piazza Dresses of Lace and Airy
Muslin==A Blonde in Blue and White.

A second dress that was more origi-
nal and in some ways more striking
was worn by young married woman
who has startlingly black hair. 1t was
a white muslin figured with blue and
illustrated the daring of the trimmed
skirt now that it is sure of its posi-
ton. Broad insertions of white lace
were set diagonally from waist to hem,
crossing each other to make enormous
checks all the way around. The same
insertions ornamented the bodice. A
man might have said of this gown that
it was more elaborate than the first.
ANY woman could have told him that
it obtained it's effects far more easily.
The trimmed skirt has a great
inning this summer There was anoth-
er one in pale cream muslin worn by
a plump girl with a very white skin
and molasses candy -colored hair. 1t
was made over a yellow silk slip and
the skirt was divided into panels of odd
shapes and sizes by lace insertion and
embroidered muslin. The effect intend
ed and to some extent obtained was to
give height and slenderness to the fig
ure. The corsage was made with a
smart little zouave of yellow glace silk,
not nearly covering the bodice. Minia-
ture sizes in zouaves are the only ones
accepted now. Narrow frills of lace
supplied the trimming. There was
full vest of embroidered muslin, caught
in at the waist with a swathed belt of
White ribbon.
Other fetching costumes figured on
the veranda of yachting man of
some note while the details of project
ed cruise were discussed enthusiastical-
ly. A handsome blonde who is at home
upon the sea showed herself equally
at home in a hammock in a clever ar
rangemert of navy blue and white. The
skirt of white taffeta was covered by
three fiounces, each bordered with one
bold band of dark blue ribbon. The
bodice was in blouse form bagging a
little over navy blue belt, and there
was a large artistic collar fastened
a little to the left and finished with
lace and a narrow band Of blue. This
