New League Officers Elected and
Games VIII Begin Dec. S.
AT a meeting of the directors of the Sa-
vannah Indoor Base BAH League, held last

citation building, new officers We're elected

that the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton gymnasium should be the place where
the battles royal should be fought. The

The bulk of the receipts now are NJ and
below Comparison of the quotations at
present for those grades with the prices
paid for them two and three years ago
shows the loss that has come through de-
probation Of values. Roughly speaking,
doubling the quotations will give the value
Of a barrel of rosin. Compared with two
years ago, values of rosin are now co
cents to $l.00 lower on the
grades now being marketed. And this has
been largely true Of the entire season. With
receipts at Savannah exceeding 100000
barrels of rosin a season some idea can
be had Of the total money loss involved by
the lower prices that have ruled.
The demand for spirits this year has
been phenomenal: that for rosins has been
remarkably steady. When this and the poor
results financially 10 producers are con-
sidered, il is not a difficult matter to ap-
preciate what the result of another great
cut of virgin boxes following that of last
winter, would be on prices next season. II
Is this which may discourage operators in
their new work and induce them to adont
an extremely conservative policy with tho
hope Of putting the industry on better
paying basis in 1S99-l900

seventh Corps Men Receive and
Send Many Packages.
The Southern Express Company is hand
ling a great deal of business for the SOL
diers Many packages and boxes are re-
ceived for them every day, and they send
away quite gcad many themselves.
Down in the South the soldiers find a
great many things they know would in
terest the folks at home, and they make
1t a point to send some of them back.
All sorts of curios. or things that in other
sections would be curious, are bought as
they are found. The handsome palms
eem to have struck the fancy of many
Of the soldiers as graceful beauties that
would delight the heart Of sisters or moth
ers at home, and many of them have been
shipped.
Far more freight is received for the sol
diers than they ship away Some money
IS received by express and some is sent
away, not a few of the soldiers prefer
ing the company as its carrier for their
pay The packages and boxes that are re-
ceived come from home filed with good
things, and their arrival is always well
coined @
A special effort is made by the express
company to have the men receive their
boxes as soon as possible after their ar
rival. Agent Cooper has the express for
the soldiers separated from the general
mass of packages and boxes of all descrip-
tions. II is taken to the office, and within
an hour from the time of its arrival pos
tai cards have been written and mailed to
the addresses on the boxes.
No delivery 20 the camps Is made by
the company. The men have TO come in
for their express. Sometimes there is a
little difficulty about the address, though
there should not be, as agents all over
the country are instructed not TO receive
packages for soldiers unless they have
the address clearly written The regi-
nent and company must be given in every
instance to insure delivery.
When a package with an imperfect ad-
dress Is received the trouble extends to
the postoffice employees, for the postals
that are sent out by the. express office
have the addresses as they appear on the
packages. IL the postoffice people cannot
find the soldiers for whom the postals are
intended the latter get no intimaton of
there being packages in the express office
for them unless they hear from those by
whom they are sent.
AGENT Cooper expects his usually large
Thanksgiving business to be supplemented
this year on account of the soldiers being
here. Loving relatives and friends win
hardly fail to send many a box Of good
things to their soldier boys at Thanksgiv-
ing.

The Baldwin Melville company Is one of
the pioneer popular-price companies. It
has been visiting Savannah annually for
a number of years and is popular in more
things than the price of admission.
The company Is very much the same as
it was last year with the exception that
it's members have proited by the time to
progress in their work. Mr.. w. H. Muir
doch, who has played the leading parts
for years. is as versatile and pleasing as
ever. Miss Edna Lindon, who made such
a good impression last year, is again play
ing the leading female parts. Miss Lindon
is handsome, graceful, and a good ac-
tress. Thomas B. F'indlay, Bert Clark, L.
o. Hart. Hugh McKaye, James j. Walls,
Wilson Day, Louise Hamilton and Marie
Day are others in the company.
The vaudeville features which are in
troduced between the acts are attractive
and interesting. Miss Louise Hamilton in
her character songs made a hit and was
twice encored. The descriptive songs by
the Silvers was one of the best specialties
that has been seen here this season. The
songs sung are of a sentimental nature
and as the song progresses views descrip-
tive of 1t are thrown upon a canvas.

NOT ENTHUSIASTIC OVER HAVANA.
Two Savannahians Size Up the Bust
ness Outlook There.

ness Outlook There.
A business man showed a Morning News
reporter yesterday two letters from
young business men, formerly of savan-
nah, but now located. or attempting to To-
cate in Havana. The letters do not paint
the most rosy view of the situation, though
the writer's are not entirely agreed on this
point.
The tariff rates are so exorbitantly high
they state that At is almost impossible 10
do any business at present. Rents are ex-
tremeiy high and pretty much everything
else necessary for decent living is in pro-
portion. Small stores command $500 to S4OO
a month. There should be a good opening
for boarding house keepers, however, as
one Of the writer's states that they are pay
ing $50 a month for a room without board.
Savannah boarding house keepers will take
all the lodgers they can get at this price,
and manage to throw in little feed occa-
sionally. Office furniture was so high. the
writer states, they were unable to buy and
SO they are renting furniture by the month.
There is TIE sickest crowd of Americans
here thai you ever ran up against" says
the writer. 1T is useless to try and do any
business unless you can stand in with the
customs authorities. Savannah will never
be able 10 do any business with this port
for the reason that there are several mer-
chants here that could almost buy out
Bay street One concern here bought at
one time 1900 tierces of lard and other
commodities in proportion"
Dr. Brunner is especially mentioned for
many kIndneSseS and courtesies to the TWO
ex-Savannahians. There are a lot of Flor
idlans IN Havana in the cattle business,
the writer states, which business he says
Is going to be quite big thing. Oxen are
IN general use and bring almost any price.
ANY kind of team can be seen on the street
from six-mule ,tandem down to an OK
cart. The Americans in Havana are pre-
pairing 10 organize a board of trade and
are also getting up protest to the United
States government against the extension
of the present tariff for sixty days as ask
ed for by the local authorities.
The other letter, which was written a
few days later, states that the United
States Will take charge on Dec /, and a
new tariff put INTO effect at once Until
that time the writer states it is useless
FOR citizens of this country to undertake
to do any business in Havana. He thinks
there are big chances in Havana for mer
OF push and energy. AS an instance of the
opportunities Offering he encloses a laun.
dry list, showing the extortionate prices
charged, and yet he says there is not a
first-class laundry in Havana There are
only two ice factories with a combined
daily output of 120 tons The price of ice
delivered is $2e per ton. Ice water is sold
in the restaurants at 10 cents per glass.

PROVOST FIRED A PISTOL.
Prisoner Tried to Escape on the Way
to the Guard House.

Some of the provost guards seem rather
careless in the use of their firearms. A
provost arrested disorderly soldier on the
neither end of Oglethorpe avenue last night
shortly before II o'clock, and was taking
him to the provost headquarters.
When the two had about reached Bun
street, the prisoner broke and ran for ali
he was worth. The provost called on him
10 halt, which the soldier failed to do. The
provost then fired his pistol.
There were several people on the street
in that neighborhood at the time The pro-
vost succeeded in getting the prisoners
hat and his pass. so that he viii be identi-
fed. and charges preferred. The officers
at provost headquarters Immediately went
