SLOW WORK AT FORT TYBEE.
NOT ONE OF THE EIGHT-INCH GUNS
YET ON ITS CARRIAGE.

Gen. Graham to Arrive Here To-day,
and VIII Inspect the FOrtificntiOns.
The Work of Building the Gun
EmpIacements in Progress over a
YeRr-The Contractors Already
Granted One Extension of Time,
But No GUNS Yet in POsitiOn-The
Mining of the HarbOr TO BE Com
pIeted ut Once.
The Notifications at Tybee are evidently
progressing rather slowly in spite of the
fact that the contractors are keeping a
force of men at work day and night and
Sunday, too. 1t is stated upon good au-
thority that not one of the four big guns
has yet been mounted, nor is one of them
in shape for business, should 1t be needed
The work Of mounting one of the guns
has just begun. The emplacement for it
has been completed and the carriage for
it is stin outside, but ready to be put into
it. The gun Itself is being moved over to
the emplacement to be put upon the car
riage, but it is said it will be nearly a week
before IL is in position and ready for use.
The contractors have been at work on
the Notifications now for year, and have
had one extension of time, as has been
stated. The four guns and carriages are
there, and ready to be mounted when all
of the emplacements. are ready for them,
but the delay with the work appears to
have been the reason why they are not in
place now.
A member of one of the artillery COM
panies who was in the city not long ago
stated that none of the guns were in place
but that one of them would probably be up
within a week. similar statement was
made about two weeks, ago, but the gun
Is still waiting to be put on its carriage.
Dispatches from Atlanta last night stat
ed that Gen. Graham had left that city for
Tybee. 1t is probable that he is coming
down to look after the work. The fact
that the situation has assumed a more
critical aspect makes ii important that the
fortifications should be completed as soon
as possible, for the defense of the harbor.
Arrangements are being made, it is un-
derstood, to complete the mining of the
harbor, or the entrance TO the harbor near
Fort Pulaski. The mining casemate from
which these submarine mines will be OPP
Grated is located just this side of Fort
Pulaski, and the channel for a mile or so
on either side of the fort can be pretty
well strung with them. This is one of the
best defensive features known in modern
warfare, and will in itself be a great pro-
lection.
The new 4.7-inch rapid fire guns, two of
which will probably be sent to Tybee, have
not arrived yet. A large shipment of these
guns has just arrived in the. United States
with 300 rounds of ammunition for each
gun, and they will probably form a prin-
cipal feature in defensive operations.

PREPARING FOR THEIR BAZAAR.
Hussars Putting Their ArmOry and
Club Rooms in Readiness.

Hussars Putting Their ArmOry and
Club Rooms in Readiness.
The Georgia Hussars are moving right
along with the preparations for their ha-
Ear, which will be held next week Some
have thought the threatened war might
interfere with the plans of the troop, hut
it has not done so.
The idea seems to be prevalent that the
troop will not make as much from the
bazaar as 1t would were matters in a more
settled condition, and the uncertainty In
cldent to the war scare dispelled.
Capt. Beirne Gordon said yesterday that
he entertains no doubt that the bazar i'll
be successful, and he thinks II possible
that the state of affairs referred to may
have the effect of bringing more visitors
to the troops quarters. Right now the
thoughts of nearly all are turning upon
the military, and many will be glad of the
opportunity to mingle with military men,
hear their opinions and discuss the stu
alton.
The Hussars' club is being converted
into an ideal place for bazaar A shelter
is going up over the veranda on the Bull
street side, and the roof garden is being

ment, that, under the direction of Mr. S.
e. Theus, is expected to be one of The
most brilliant amateur performances ever
given in Savannah. A stage, open on all
Sides has been constructed, and a balus-
trade has been run around one section
of the garden to prevent the spectators
from being crowded off to the ground be-
low. This precaution is deemed very adj
visable, in view of the number of people
it is expected will witness the vaude-
Vile.
All the lockers have been cleared out
of the armory, and the removal of me
equipments of the troop have left a greatly
Increased space for the dancing it is PRO
posed to have in the hall
The bazaar will open Monday night, and
the festivities will continue every night
during the week. Many handsome srti-

MORE COMPANIES INSPECTED.
Cadets and German Volunteers
Turned Out Full Ranks.

The Savannah Cadets and the German
Volunteers, under orders received from the
Office OF the adjutant general, were in
spected last night at their quarters at the
regimental armory by Col. A. r. Lawton.
The men showed up well. and their equip
ment was in excellent order.
Col. LaAvton was assisted by Mai.
Edward Karow. Maj. w. S. Rockwell and
Capt NJ. A. O'Byrne. The inspection was
of the arms and equipment of the men.
The Cadets were inspected in the assem-
bly, room Of the Oglethorpe Light Infantry,
the space in their own room being so
taken up as TO make il impracticable for
the large number who turned out for the
inspection to find stanu.ng places. The
three officers and fifty-two of the Cadets
were present.
The men were in the regimental uniform,
and wore their knapsacks, haversacks and
canteens, with overcoats, rolled in the
style of the regular army, recently adopt
ed. strapped on the knapsacks. All looked
ready for service. Preparation for the in
spection involved considerable work, a
great deal of cleaning. furnishing and
packing having to be done. The packing of
the knapsacks is a feat in ITSELF the nov
ace being astounded when told of the great
assortment of articles carried in such a
restricted SPACE.
The German Volunteers were inspected
in their own room, all the officers and
many Of the men being present 1t was a
late hour when the inspection of both the
companies had been completed.

THE TROPHIES TRANSFERRED
Guards Turn to Guard the Soldier
of Marathon.

Guards' Turn to Guard the Soldier
of Marathon.
The Soldier of Marathon" the trophy
that has been at the Hussars Club for
some time, will be transferred in a day or
two to the Guards Club. The transfer is
made just little before the time stipu-
lated for the exchange of the Soldier and
the Hilton trophy, now in the parlor of the
Guards Club.
The Soldier of Marathon" and the Hi,
ton trophy were won at Sea Girt last sea-
son by the Georgia team, comprised OF
shots from both the Guards and the Hus-
sars. The arrangement for the care of the
trophies was for the Guards to keep the
Hilton trophy awhile and then exchange
1t for the Soldier of Marathon" which
was TO be kept by the Hussars.
The bazaar that is to be given next week
by the Hussars makes il necessary for all
the available space in the parlors of the
club to be devoted to the accommodation
of the crowds IL is expected viii be pres
ent. For this reason it was decided TO
send the figure of the soldier to the
Guards Club few days before the time
agreed upon. After the bazaar is over the
Hilton trophy will be sent to the Hussars.

NINTH STREET LOTS.
Investments For Small Syndicates--
How to Make Money.


How TO Make Money.
There are eleven lots in every block on
Ninth street What is there TO prevent a
dozen young men, or young women, form
ing club, or, to use a bigger word, a
Syndicate and buying a block of lots
as an investment or for speculation There
is nothing to do but to get together like
young people do when they are forming
ball. or picnic party, and instead OF
spending their cash for music, ice cream,
cakes, ETC., invest it in lots. Instead of
one days or one nights fun, "a good time
together and then goodbye forever" they
would have atsource of perennial enjoy
ment. 10 will be fun in saving nickels
dimes, quarters and dollars, and see their
real estate investments increase in value.
1t is the man or woman who saves In
early life who becames well-to-do in after
years, and there is no surer way of ac-
cumulating, or safer way of Investing
money than by putting it in real. estate.
1t may be argued that if money is in
vested in a lot the cash can't be gotten
out of 1t If Ii should be wanted. That S
just the argument make in favor OF such
investments, namely: That buying real
estate on the installment plan makes one
sure against his will, and encourages the
habit of savingl Invest your money in a
Ninth street lot. Better still, take several
of them if you see your way to pay for
them, and still better, If you have the
money on hand or in sight, buy a block
on Ninth. street. 1t will pay sou better
than 31a or 4 per cent. in a savings bank.
There will be another sale of Ninth
street lots in a few days, that is, if the
President and Congress don't get the coun-
try into a war. When the war clouds
roll hy' you win see an announcement of
the next Bargain Sale of Lots advertised
in the Morning News. In the meanwhile,
1 shall continue my efforts in educating
those who are "lotless" and homeless as
what is best for them to do in this critical
period of their lives. Don't ''get a gum
but get a home. C. H. Dorsett, auctioneer.

MUST GIVE GOOD REASON.
An Order Said to Have Been Issued
TO the Engineer Corps.

TO the Engineer Corps.
1t is said as the outcome of the trial
by court martial Of Capt. o. NJ. Carter
there have been some changes in few
of the regulations of the engineering de-
partment.
The first of these changes reported so
far, is in effect an order from the chief of
engineers requiring all officers of the engi-
neers corps who are disbursing officers to
give specific reasons showing why it is
necessary when they advertise for bids
on any work for less than thirty days.
The fact that in most instances Capt
Carriers advertisements were published
less than thirty days, has been placed
prominently in evidence by the prosecu-
ton This has no doubt been the cause Of
the instructions said to have been issued
by the chief of engineers with regard to
advertisements.
1t is said that one of the engineering
officers who was here several days ago
and testified that he had sometimes pub
lished advertisements for less than thirty
days, had a number of his vouchers I'M
der such contracts extending over a year
or two returned TO him with directions
that he certify that his action was to the
benefit or for the advantage of the Uni
ted States. 1t is said some of the officers
of the corps expect other orders on this
line, though so far as can be ascertained
nothing further has developed.

The General Styles.

New York Evening Post.
The modistes of this season have met the
demands of la mode for variety in summer
attire with astonishing readiness and
ability. The results in most instances are
very pleasing and commendable, since there
are no great exaggerations in form or out
line, and almost anything that is becoming
smart looking and in good taste will pass
muster in fashions ranks Such a condi-
ton of things in the affairs Of style helps
out the scheme of individuality in DRESS
which is always one of the great secrets and
potent factors in successful gowning. 1t is
necessary that the cut and finish of the
skirt shall give II the effect Of radiat.ng
gracefully from the waist and equally es-
Sential that the sleeves shall be small and
clCse-ftting, with countless pretty shoulder
effects at the top. With the bodice, how
ever, every possible variation that fancy
can devise is allowable, and this rule, or,
rather, absence Of rule, has resulted in pro-
ducing the most notable and wonderful dis
ages that the world OF fashion has ever in
a single season beheld. The trimmed skirt
has likewise scored a triumph, and the va
riety of deliberately decorated models in
creases daily. Many of the most stylish
dress sleeves match the skirt trimming in
form, and instead of the small puff or
drapery at the top of the close sleeve the
shirrings, frillings, tucks or narrow puffings
that trim the forearm are continued on TO
the very top of the sleeve, merely enlarged
in width or size as they near the shoulder

stefan says to the nervous woman, My dear
Mrs, Blank, you simply must leave town
for few days. Don't worry about clothes;

the nervous woman who is not ready to
leave town prepares to follow his advice. 1t
is not a pleasant experience if one happens
to be her husband or her handmaiden. She
piles everything she wants to take with her
in the middle Of her dressing room and then
she starts off with, What time did you say
