Fashions Wonderland.

All fashion lovers realized yesterday
how great Krouskoff's facilities are for
producing the finest specimens of the mil
linery art. Krouskoff's do not allow any
thing to be placed on sale that is not
stylish and up to the very latest DEGREES
of fashion. Their display yesterday and
to-day represents a stock of millinery
surprising in magnitude, beauty and
value anything ever exhibited in Savan-
nah. Their show room, exhibiting 500 pat
terms, mostly imported from artists such
as Felix Verot Louise Fransoi, Adolphe
and others of no lesser fame, should be
seen by the ladies. Their spacious show
room was crowded by ladies' of Savan-
nah's fashion. Their ribbon display, rep
resenting thousands of dollars, was more
than admired, The very best qualities, as
well as patterns were in abundance.
Among the most striking was a special
display of gauze, Batavia. louisine and
grenadne ribbons, which are the latest
fads; then there is a display of chiffons,
crepe de chimes, mousselne de sole and
shaded crepes both plain and embroider-
ed, in all the newest tints and shadings;
then a display of millinery ornaments
that is bewildering, showing the latest eff
fectS in bronze, gilt and steel, as well as
a complete line of jet goods; then the
flower display makes one believe they are
entering a flower conservatory. surround
ed by flowers and foliage of all kinds. 1t
Is a pleasure to visit this department,
where beauty abounds. II is surprising
how nature can be initiated by def hands
of French artists; they also show one of
the largest varieties of untrimmed shapes
representing the latest shapes from lead
ing makers as well as a line of sailors
and walking hats that never have had a
comparison. The opening will continue
to-day. and all the ladies should visit

THE GAME SEASON CLOSED.

From Now on.

From Now on.
The game season closed yesterday. Tt
is no longer lawful to shoot doves. qual,
woodcock, or any other game, insectivor-
Gus or song bird, or to offer them for sale
either alive or dead.
The duck season is also closed except
as to spring teal. The season for summer
ducks has not yet opened. The law not
only forbids the shooting or trapping of
these birds, but the destruction of their
nests and eggs and the capture of their
young as well. This applies to knocking
birds and other song birds as well as to
game birds. A few examples made of the
negro boys who offer hooking birds for
sale on the streets this summer would
put stop to the traffic. The birds have
been literally driven from the city.
Sportsmen generally are interested in
the enforcement of this law and the dis
position to aid in the enforcement of the
law is more general than ever before,
probably for the reason that 1t is a
most practical and commonsense law of
the kind that has been enacted in Geor-

keeper. Tastes change with the season
and there has been very little call for game
for a week or two now. Shad and shad
roe are the favorite articles of demand
just now. The shad season will continue
almost another month. The place of game
will be supplied by spring lamb, spring
chicken and frog legs. Soft shell crabs
will soon begin to come In. The enforce
ment of the game law is perfectly agree
able to US, you See."

mt Fitzgerald.
The Savannah contingent of the Grand
Army. which has just returned from the
state encampment at Fitzgerald. pro-
nounces 1t one of the most spirited and in
teresting encampments in the history of
the department of Georgia. There were
twelve posts represented by fifty-three del
egates present. three less than at the
largest encampment ever held, which was
in Savannah.
Messrs. Isaac Beckett and w. r. Fam
inert were the delegates from the w. S.

has been aGjutant general of the depart

he said, was just as hot as If
it had been between the Lib
eral and Citizens Clubs in Savannah, but
when IL was over, Mr.. Averill being over
whelmingly elected. there was no feeling,
but that of good fellowship.
one of the most interesting features, and
something never before seen in the south,
was the celebration by the school children,
Mr.. Gleason said. Some of the girls were
dressed in flags, while others wore white
and carried blue and red streamers. They
all turned out to the train to greet De-
partment Commander John L. Glenn of At

GEN. WILSON IN SAVANNAH.
THE CHIEF OF ENGINEERS IN
SPECTING GOVERNMENT WORKS.

His First visit to the Savannah Dis
trict-TOOk a Trip Down the River
y Past the Jetties and Visited Fort
Pulaski and the New Tybee FOrti-
HcntiOns-Sketeh of Gen. Craig
hiIrs Successor.
Gen. John NJ. Wilson of Washington,
d. c., chief of the United States engineer
ing corps. recently appointed in place OF
Gen. Craighill resigned. is paying his first
official visit to Savannah for the purpose
OF inspecting the government works here.
Gen. Wilson is accompanied by Mrs, VIII
son and they are stopping at the De Soto.
Gen. Wilson arrived yesterday morning.
and spent practically the entire day down
the river. He and Capt. o. NJ. Carter,
corps of engineers, went down on the An
gler. returning at 4 O'Clock in the after
noon They took a look at the jetty work,
stopped at Fort Pulaski. and also looked
after the new jetty work that is being
done in Tybee roads by the Atlantic Con-
tracing Company.
The harbor work was in general, found
in very satisfactory condition, and the
work on the new ietty or extension of the
oyster bed training wall is progressing ia
vorably.
The work on the new fortiications on
the north end of Tybee Island is perhaps
one of the most important to which Gen.
Wilson viii give his attention. Mr.. p.
Sanford Ross, who has the contract for
building the government wharf at the
north end OF the island, has about COM
pleted that WORK. and Venable Bros. Of
Atlanta have built their sheds and houses
there, preparatory to beginning work on
the emplacements for the four large dis
appearing guns, which win be the first Of
the battery to be put in place. Work en-
these emplacements Will begin about he
first of next month.
This being Gen Wilson's first tour of
inspection this way, he has considerable
work before him, and Will remain here to-
day, and, perhaps, longer. The govern
ment works at Savannah are among the
most important on the coast, and much
attention is being given them. There is
a good deal of work 20 be done here yet
and such as is done will be after the
latest and most improved plaIes.

HAS CALLED A PASTOR.
Rev. James Y. Fair of Richmond TO
Come TO the independent Church.


Rev. James Y. Fair, d. D.. of Richmond,
Va, has been called to the pastorate of
the Independent Presbyterian church. He
will preach here next Sunday and will
probably announce his acceptance or de-
clination then.
DR.. Fair was strongly recommended to
the congregation, and his call was pracu-
cally unanimous. His endorsement was by
letters from ministers. who know DIR.
Fair personally, supplemented by recon-
mendations and testimonials from num-
Der of lay members, who had heard him
preach. He has never been IN Savannah,
but he is known here.
A Richmond dispatch TO the Morning
News says:
Richmond Va. March 15.-"Rev. DR..
James Y. Fair. pastor of the Grace Street
Presbyterian church of Richmond. is con-
sidering with great favor the call to Sa-
vannah, and he will go there next Sunday
TO preach to and see and talk with the con-
gregation which has called him. He ex-
presses himself as being greatly fattered
by the call, and said he would like very
much to live in Savannah, as his boy
hood days had been spent along the Sa-
Vannah river, and it would be like return
ing home.
while he did not say so In as many
words, DR.. Fair conveyed the impression
that he would accept the call. Certainly
it would appear that he will do So as he
has never visited any other congregation
that called him and in recent years he has
received a number of calls. One reason
which prompts him to accept the call is
the health of his aged father and mother.
Both are sick now almost all the time and
1t is thought that the climate of Richmond
does not agree with them. DR.. Fair is in
clined to think that the climate of Savan-
nah would prove more congenial to them.
He will leave here for Savannah, Wednes-
day or Thursday and may announce his
decision in Savannah Sunday"
DR.. Fair is a native of South Carolina
He was born at Abbevle in that state
his academic education was received at
Due West College. Upon graduating there
he entered the theological seminary at
Columbia. DR.. Fair is about AZ years old
His call to the pastorate of the Independ-
ent church is made subject to his being
on trial, satisfactory to the congregation,
and his own acceptance after meeting the
members, rests with himself These terms
were suggested by DIR. Fair. as he said he
would not come to Savannah to preach as
a candidate.

the service is the prompt distribution Of
