Savannah's Trade Year.
From the Norfolk Landmark (Dem).

Our esteemed contemporary, the Savan-
nah Morning News, recently issued a spe-
cial edition devoted to the commercial pro-
gress of that pretty and hourlshing city
The statistics adduced prove that Savau-
nah is going straight ahead. Her trade for
the fiscal year just elapsed is computed at
Sl250O0,O00 which represents an increase of
about ten per cent. over the year preced-
ing. This advance, Furthermore, is steady
and substantial. Savannah's prospects to-
day are believed by the News to be better
than ever before and we have not the
least doubt that this opinion is correct.
Georgia's marine metropolis deserves to be
congratulated not only upon her CONNER
cial progress, but upon having such a fine
newspaper as the Morning News to contrl-
butte to it and herald ID abroad

THE GUNS THAT DID THE WORK.

TIE GINS THAT DID THE WORK.
A concise summary of the report of the
naval board appointed by Admiral Samp-
son to investigate the condition of the
wrecks of the Spanish vessels now lying
on the Cuban coast is published in the
Scientific American, together with dia-
grams of the vessels showing the precise
location and calibre of each projectile that
made a hit The report shows that the
Oquendo suffered greatest, being struck no
less than fifty-seven times. The Teresa and
the Vizcaya were struck twenty-nine times
each, while the Colon was struck only
eight times.
In view of the question of the armament
of the new war ships now authorized. end
those in course of construction, it is of in
terest and importance to note the charac-
ter and calibre Of the guns which did the
most effective shooting in the Santiago
fight. 1t may be conceded that the gun
merry of the Americans on that occasion
was as good as may be expected in any
future fight, hence the hits made by the
various arms may be taken as indicating
their relative effectiveness in battle. A ia
bic giving the size of the guns, the num-
Der of hits and the percentage per hits
per gun makes this showing:

THE TREE PLANTING SEASON.

The season for planting trees is close
at hand. If the wishes of the people of
the city are consulted this year viii be
a red letter year in tree planting. Many
trees have been destroyed by the storms
during the last few years, and there is a
very general desire that trees shall be
planted in the places of those destroyed
and in every other place where they would
add to the beauty Of the city.
The people would not complain if the
whole of the appropriation of the Park
i'm putting out trees. There is no dispo-
siton TO find fault with the commission
because of the objects to which il has
applied the money at its disposal but it
is safe TO say probably that trees are
more in favor than flowers The people
would be pleased if trees were planted
along the sides of the street as well as in
the squares and the neutral ground in
the middle of the wide streets.
1t is not to be expected OF course that
the commission will plant trees on the
sides of the streets in front of residences.
1t is the duty of property owners to do
that But the commission can do much
to encourage the planting of trees by
property owners. 1t can urge them to
improve their property by means of trees
and 1t can suggest the kind of trees that
should be planted In cases where 1t is
especially desirable to have trees planted
for the public benefit in front of private
property the commission might offer to
furnish the trees.
We should very much like to see some
thing done towards the improvement of
the park extension. The vacancies in the
avenues on the sides and in the center
should be filled in with quick growing
trees and some of the trees now in the
avenues should be taken out.
We have no doubt. however, that the
commission has thought of all of these
things, and we mention them more be-
cause we know that the public is pro-
foundly interested in its work than for
any other reason. OF all the commissions
| that Of the parks and trees has more in
terest for the people than any other.

Gen. Schwan, accompanied by an Of
ficer from each the medical, the quarter
masters and the engineers departments,
has been directed to come South and Sc
lect winter camp sites. The inquiry of the
board is to have particular reference to
water supply, drainage, sanitation and
facilities for transportation. The Phia-

This board has no connection with the

The hospitals are to be erected for the

board will pay visit TO Savannah. If
so, it viii find here everything that is
needed for a first-class camp site.

The correspondents at Washington seem
TO have picked Senator Hoar of Massa-
chusetts as the successor of Ambassador
Hay. The senator is a man of polish eru-
dition and ability, and would no doubt
make satisfactory ambassador. Should
he accept the appointment, it is said Sec
rotary Of the Navy Long would be ap-
pointed TO succeed him in the Senate.

Washington rumors now have it that

OF Cuba. after ALL but that the place is
to go to Gen. Wade What foundation
there Is for the report nobody seems to
know. Meantime the fact remains that
there is not man in the service of the
government who is better fitted for the po-
sition than Gen. Lee. His long residence
in Havana has made him thoroughly ac-
quainted with conditions in the island and
his successful management of the camp
at Jacksonville has shown him to be a
commander who knows how to take care
Of his men. Therefore. if he were made
governor general the civil affairs of the
island would be ably managed, and the

nand of man who has been compliment
ed by the Secretary of War for efficiency

CURRENT COMMENT.
Wheeler for Lieutenant General.
From Charleston News and Courier Dem)

1t would be a just recognition of splendid
service for the government to honor JOS
eph Wheeler with the rank of lieutenant
general. His conduct on the field of battle
and in the care of his soldiers on the march
and in camp is worthy of reward. Gen.
Wheeler is a trained soldier, and would
make an excellent commanding officer for
the army.

 The piano recital given by the pupils of Miss Frank Avery Sabin at the Presbyterian church yesterday after noon was a brilliant success. The church was decorated in peach blcs- sons and peppers and looked very pretty. The pupils of Miss Sabin participating were Miss Reba Hey man, Miss Vivian Ainsworth, Miss Anita Schwartz, Ms Evelyn Me Nulty, Miss Rosa Be-. Goldman. Miss Maggie Wilson, Miss Frances McNulty, Miss Gladys Hoadley, Miss Ruth Ainsworth. Miss Edna Bradley and Master Sidney Goldman. As will be noticed, the pupils are all young school children and it was marvellous to see how ably they performed on the piano. Each one showed careful training and great credit is due Miss Sabin for the successful afternoons entertainment. A vocal solo by Miss Mckinney. Where Did You Come From, Baby Dear?" and vocal solo, ''The Fairy for Shadow Tarn," by Miss Plank, were very good. Taking it as whole the afternoon was very pleas ant one and Miss Sabin was kept busy with congratulations from her many friends

SOCIET '.

Now that spring is again at hand a few remarks on spring fashions Will probably be of interest to our readers.
 The form of choker that seems to prevail this season is more smart than couuettish, but is a distinct novelty, and small skirts and sleeves have un- doubted1y made these straight, high lines necessary. This form of choker was seen about month ago on some advanced models, and now it appears with the addition of cravat ties in sep arate form to be adjusted to any bod ice.
 As shown by one of the leading houses, this is the latest form of era vat. A stiff silk is chosen, and the choker piece is cut generous two inches in front, and to rise behind the ears in high but not faring points; that is, these points keep fiat to the sides of the head. This collar is, of course, beautifully lined and stiffened, and edged with a line of ecru guipure lace. About the choker is the tie laid in cluster of flat folds around the throat, and making a four-in-hand bow with f1aring donkey-ear ends, which are finished by a hemstitched edge and line of lace.
 Some new scarfS to be worn with jackets are of silk crepe in dark, warm colors, edged with narrow, heavy gui- pure. They may be passed once or twice about the neck as one chooses, and the ends tied or left to fall be- tween the jacket sides. Silk shirt waists are much in favor now, and the smartest silks for this purpose initiate closely cotton and linen fabrics. The oicfc ct they were last year, and finely pleated ruffles, clusters of small tucks and a profuse use of small black silk buttons are expected. The latter trimming is especially fashionable, and some silk waists are fairly peppered over with these popular little buttons. They are seen on spring gowns as we'll. For example, a tabac-brown wool is at tractive with a trimming of small black silk buttons arranged in clus- ters.
 Picture hats are more than ever in vogue this year. Tul1e is more exten- sively used than any other one fabric now; tulle in every form, in puffs, pleatings, ruchings, and, above all, the shirred or "gaufred" tulle. The most delicious hats are made of the latter, combined often with velvet loops and large balls of jet. A new material is called erin, and, as it's name would indicate, it is only a nice quality of crinoline. This is used in combination with tulle and often ruffied to form the foundation of the brim, on which are piled soft masses of the delicate material. There is a great variety of fancy straws, some of them initiating fine net, tul1e and lace; real lace is often combined with the straw lace, and lace scarfs occasion ally drape brims to good effect AL though light, delicate effects prev this season, there are some .,eavy

CROP-BOUND POULTRY.
Unless Remedy Is Immediately APP
piled Fowls So Afflicted Will
Die Speedily.

Crop bound is especially prevalent
among fowls in close confinement,
where in their desire to procure green
food they consume large quantities of
dry grass, and 1 have observed its be-
|. ing brought on in at least one case by
eating tea leaves, the whole mass form
ing a hard lump in the crop, thus being
indigestible, causing the bird to dump,
and unless a remedy is speedily applied,
to die. In one of our exchanges a writer
gives the following remedy: First, pro-
cure piece of the smallest size rubber
tube about is inches in length (this can
be obtained at any drug store); attach
one end to a small tunnel, grease the
other with lard or vaseline for about
four inches, and are ready for business.
Get an assistant to securely hold the sick
bird, now carefully place tube in the
birds mouth and push we'll down the
crop, about four inches of tube viii be
required, hold the tunnel slightly above
the fowls head and slowly pour in as
much lUke-warm water as the crop viii
hold, about one teacupful. Have the
assistant work the crop carefully dur
ing the process and until the hard mass
becomes softened. Great care should
be taken both in pouring water and
working crop lest the fowl become
choked by water rising in the throat
Next grasp the bird by the legs and hold
head down, gently working crop to as
sist bird to yomit. In most cases one
trial is enough to completely empty the
crop, but in case it is not, let the fowl
rest for half an hour and repeat the
process. This remedy has also been
~
of acute indigestion. Keep the bird on
soft food with plenty of sharp grit and
charcoal for few days and the cure is

The Farmer Wa. Fixed for uir.


well-to-do Georgia farmer invited
a merchant friend to dine with him.
The merchant was known for his crank
mess and had once or twice tried to
shoot people for imagined wrongs. The
farmer had considerable business deal

best of terms. However, the farmer
always kept wary eye on him. Several
days after the dinner at the farmers
house the merchant said to him: Il

instance, the other day when l was
dining at your table it suddenly came
into my mind to kill you. L had pistol

feeling passed from me!''
