City's Breathing spots.
Chairman P. d. Dafin of the Park and
Tree Commission received Che following
letter yesterday from Maj Russell b. Har-
rison. 1t expresses the appreciation of
that officer for the course pursued by the
commission in regards TO the squares and
greens and their use by the provost guard.
Headquarters Seventh Army Corps, Of
fee of the Provost Marshal Chatham Ar
ullery Armory, Savannah. Ga, Dec. 8,
l89S.-Mr. p. d. Daffin, Chairman Park
and Tree Commission, Savannah, Ca
Dear Sir: The Seventh Army Corps is
now leaving for Havana Cuba, and take
opportunity, on the eve of departure, to
write this letter to thank you and your
commission for the cordial and hearty
manner in which you have assisted in
locating and making comfortable the pro-
vost guard of the corps, which is under
my control
AS there were no buildings available for
the number of men necessary for provost
guard duty. the service rendered the city
by the provost guard could not have been
rendered had il not been for the convenient
park locations. Realizing that the parks
belong 10 the people, and are their breath
ing places in the summer time, and an ev-
idence of a progressive and beautiful city,
it has been my constant aim since you
permitted the use Of the parks, TO see
that there was no damage or injury to
them beyond the grass, which, of course
will be restored by nature in the spring
time. You viii, | am sure, from your
experience, know that this was a difficult
task, ana l trust it has been performed
in, pntfrolx SotiCfaotOrV IN nd
your associates.
From close contact with the officers and
men who have served with the provost
marshal during the stay of the Seventh
Army Corps in Savannah, 1 am sure your
evidence of friendship and good will is
appreciated. 1t was much better both
from the standpoint of health and of mill
tary control, that they should occupy
tents rather than be crowded into rooms
moi adapted for occupancy by troops; and
the soldiers in your many and beautiful
parks, / am sure, brought the Northern
troops into closer contact with your citi-
zens, and will cause all of them to carry
away warm and friendly feelings for the
city Of Savannah and its people. Very re-
specially, Russell b. Harrison,
Major and Provost Marshal Seventh
Army Corps.
After showing the letter to the other
members OF the commission, Chairman
Daffin acknowledged its receipt, thanked
Mai. Harrison in behalf of the commits
sion. for his kind remarks. and expressed
appreciation of the valuable services rem
dered by him in his capacity as provost
marshal In leaving Savannah, the reply
said. Maj. Harrison carried with him the
thanks of the community, and its wish for
his personal prosperity and professional
promotion.

cert that will be given at the De Soto
The band is a new Organization, ahd the

people who want to hear the programme
that has been prepared need not expect
anything astonishing. The Organization
was effected only about two weeks ago,
and the members, though they are good
musicians, have not had sufficient practice
together to make the band expert.
Bandmaster Burns was the leader of the
band of the Second Georgia Regiment I'M
til il was mustered out. He IS wen up
i'm his profession, and makes "a capital
leader Many know him In Savannah, as
he lived here for some time before going
to Tampa to join the Second Georgia.
There are also three other members OF
the band who were in his band hen They
Were transferred. with MIR. Burns, at the
time the Second was turned loose. Princi-

Vhirty-FiVe Dollars.
The government allows S85 for the fun
eral expenses of a soldier. Some weeks
ago something like $l2 only was allowed
but the war department decided to IN
crease this amount in order to guarantee
the soldiers who die more pretenuous
burial The cost for the transportation
of the body from wherever soldier may
have died TO his home is also betrayed 10y

one firm having at one time as many as
fifteen dead soldiers in its rooms awaiting

more than two funerals in a day. This

EFFECT OF MILITARY FUND CUT.
Loss of state Encampment VIII he
About All, an officer Says.

About All, an officer Says.
Il do not believe the cutting down of the
states appropriation for the military is go
ing to be such q great blow remarked an
officer, who takes an active interest in his
command, and who watches closely and
considers carefully everything that affects
The military.
Even if the bill passes the Senate, I
don't believe il is to be a permanent thing.
The next legislature will look at Things
differently, and then we viii see the ap-
preparation run up again. IL is no more
than right that the state should make a
considerable appropriation to the military
II has never YET been liberal enough, but
now it is taking nearly everything away"
"All that is going to be effected by the
cur is the state encampment," he said
we don't need en- encampment now and
wont for several years. Men VIII not care
anything about going into camp after the
actual experience they have had lately
I can't see that il win really make much
difference"
There are others who do not agree with
this officer They think the curtailment Of
the appropriation VIII be a great drawback
10 military IN the state. Even if there
were no advantages to be derived from the
appropriation it IS held THAI the mere fact
of Its having been cut from SIS 900 TO 81. 500
will have "A bad moral effect and that the
troops will regard IL as an indication thar
the state does not care anything for their
services, and, for that reason, will not re-
enlist.
