4 Question Solved.

Savannah has for many years, needed
neat first-class hotel, where reasonable
rates are charged Thousands of people
come here who do not feel able to pay
prices charged by the larger houses. and
consequently were required to put up at
any old place Such is not the case now.
since the Union Hotel threw open its
doors to the public. This elegant little
house of fifty wei furnished rooms is To-
Gated On West Broad street. Just opposite
the Central depot, and it is no doubt one
of the handsomest of the small hotels in
the state. All the accommodations fur
nished by the larger houses, such as cleo
trio bells, not and cold baths and other
conveniences are to be had and at the
moderate price Of from S125 to 80 90 per
day. All rooms are newly furnished, light
ed by electricity, and kept thoroughly
clean. The table Is furnished with the best
the market affords, and our advice to the
traveller is that better place than the
Union Hotel, corner of West Broad and
Harris streets, opposite the Union depot.

s22,0OO,OOO OF EXPORTS.
FIVE RECORD-BREAKING MONTHS
IN sAVANNAH's COMMERCE.

The Records of the Custom House
show the Value of Exports From
November 1 to Yesterday to Have
Greatly Exceeded Any Previous
Five Months in the History of the
Port-The Total Value of Exports
500, 62o,3 75 as Against $17.3S7,759
/ for the Fest Previous Five Months.
This Includes 437 ,O6S Bales of Cot
ton March the Third Biggest
Month in the History of the Gus
tom House.
The exports from this port for the
period of five months ending yesterday
were the largest of any previous similar
period in the history of the port. The
records of the Custom House show the
total value of exports for this period, al
ways the busiest in the history of the
port, to have been $22629.S75.
This is far in excess of the record made
by any similar period in the previous his
tory of the Custom House. The best
previous record, as shown by figures com
piled yesterday by Mr.. T. Lloyd Owens,
marine clerk at the Custom House, was
March, 1892, both inclusive, when the to-
tai value of the exports was $685. o9.
The next best previous record was for
the period including November, 1898. to
March, 1899, when the total was $l5,l33, boS.
The month ended yesterday was one of
the three best in the history of the port,
taken according to values of exports. The
total value of exports of all articles 1or
the month was S6,216,9S2. This is excelled
NV tvuO NOXern-
Der, 1891, when the total value of exports
was ST. 253, 0S7, and December 1890, when
the exports showed a total value of &c.
S5i S99 October, 1890, ranks as close
fourth with total values of $6,165,4lS.
The chief item of value in these exports,
Of course, was cotton, and the varying
prices of the staple had g eat deal to do
with the valuations credited TO the ex-
ports. During last month there were h.
400 bales of cotton exported, at an aver
age price of 91a cents a pound and to-
tai valuation of 50, ADJ, SS6 The total value
of other articles exported was $S99,O97.
March, 1899 makes very poor compari-
son with the same month just ended. The
total value of exports that month was
only 1851, 1888. This is accounted for by the
fact that the exports of cotton were only
IT, 1874 bales, with an average price OF
6 1854 cents, giving total value or only
SSH 500 The total value of other articles
exported hat month was S445,233, or lit
tie more than half of the same figure for
last month.
The five months just ended included ex-
ports of 437,(6S bales of cotton of which
11S4-9 were exported during March. For
the same reriod year previous, Novem-
her 1898, to March. 1899, inclusive there
were exported 452 794 bales of cotton, but
owing to the much lower prices prevail ng,
the values were hardly more than half,
the total values of exports being S22, 502,
1872 for the later period as against $15,133
e99 for the former period
The figures are of interest as showing
not only the great benefit resulting to
the people of the South from the higher
price of cotton, but as also showing the
very decided increase in Savannah's COM
merce.

A HANDSOME DISPLAY.
The KrouskoR Millinery Establish
ment and Its Opening.

The opening of the Krouskon Millinery
Company at their new establishment, on
King, near Hasell, street, Tuesday was
an interesting event SO far as the ladies
of the city are concerned, and certainly
they are very important members of the
municipal family. The firm, which has
five establishments, the largest being in
New York city, and the nearest to Char
lesion being until few days ago in Sa-
vannah, has brought to this city very
handsome stock of hats, furnishings, pat
terms and flowers, and Mr.. Dave Krous-
koff, the manager, Is prepared to supply
all tastes with the very newest and most
approved headwear. Besides the large
number of pattern hats. among which is
noted the "Sapho,' the firm has all va
rieties of straws, chips and lace hats, and
the entire north side of the store Is oc-
cupied with flowers and hat trimmings
in glass wall cases. The south side Is
given up to the display of novelties, rib
bons, jet goods and ornaments.
Mr.. Krouskoff, although a stranger in
Charleston, is already making friends,
and his courteous manners and accommo-
dating attentions have quite won the la
dies to his side He is not only pleased
to have his goods inspected and admired,
but he will order such things as desired
by his patrons which may not be in
stock An experienced milliner is in
charge of the trimming and making de-
partment, and several assistants are re-
quired to keep up with the orders already
received. News and Courier, Charleston.

a few months, and may not mature for
great many years. 1t is all you have
to show for your money, and it is there
fore of the utmost Importance that you
know what it says. and that It says what
you want. You should read it carefully,
be sure you understand it thoroughly, and
see that it contains no carefully worded
sentences in small print, which may prove
serious to you in the years to come.
Back of this contract is the name and
good faith of the company, with its mill
ions of assets, and the law of the state
which grants the company its charter.
If you can get the best contract with
sound, honest backing, you are protect
ing your estate as nothing else can pro-
tect it, and your policy is as safe as
government bond"
Such policy we offer you in the Massa-
chusetts Mutual, which in addition to its
sound financial condition, has also the
excellent laws of the commonwealth of
Massachusetts. The Massachusetts Nd

CINCH FOR THE DOCTORS.
One Case, However, which Takes
Their Places in Giving Relief.

Doctors may glory in their prospects of
bringing people to realize the Importance
of being vaccinated in accordance with
the city ordinances, but the present is not
the only instance when folks have been
forced to consult physicians. When their
stomachs get out of order, and this is the
ailment of nine-tenths of the worlds af-
fiicted, one of two things they are COM
PEELED to do is to see the doctor. While
relief may be had, there is still another
recourse for those with weak digestive
organs. This is by humoring the stomach,
or treating yourself 20 the delicious things
furnished by Logan, famed the markets
chief caterer. Nothing but the pick of the
supply houses comes to him, so that he
can recommend everything sold. Besides,
Logan personally inspects about all or
ders to see that his customers are not
disappointed. -ad.

Children of COnfederacy Presented
with Five SiIken Banners.

One of the most interesting meetings
that the Winnie Davis Chapter of Chill
dren Of the Confederacy has held since It's
organization, two months ago, was that
of yesterday morning The meeting was
held in Confederate Han. and was very
largely attended.
The feature that gave the meeting of the
chapter it's principal interest was the pre-
seutation of chapter flag, made on be-
half of the donor, Mr.. T. N. Theus, by
Master Arthur Boyd The little gentle
mans speech was well and gracefully put
and in happy accord with the spirit that
prompted the gift. The flag is the original
Stars and Bars" of the COME deracy, and
bears on its folds the name of the chap
ter and the date of it's organization. The
flag was received by Miss Julia Hunter
president of the chapter, with a few words
Of graceful and grateful thanks and APP
probation.
on behalf of Capt. c. A. Marmelstein
Master Davenport Raines presented the
chapter with three flags of the Confed-
eracy, given in memory Of Capt. Marmel-
stems grandnieces and granddaughter,
who, though now living in New York.
feel keen and abiding interest in the
work of the chapter here. Miss Louise
Denton presented the chapter with Con-
federate battle flag on behalf of Mrs. G.
A. MarmeIStein, making thus a complete
collection of all the flags under which
the armies of the Southern states fought
during the war. These flags were received
by Master Garrard Haines, vice president
of the chapter, who gave appreciatve
thanks to the donors for their welcome
and well chosen gifts.
Mrs. 4. s. Morgan recited for the chill
dren the stirring war poem, THE Burial
of Latane," in a way that conveyed even
TO their childish approximations a full
realization of its pathos and beauty. Hon.
Pope Barrow addressed them on the
Causes of the War Between the States"
seeking to remove from their minds the
impression that the idea of secession or
iginated with the South, or was first
threatened by Southern states.
The chapter received from Mr. John r.
Young a donation of S25, to be applied to
the purposes to which the chapter stands
pledged rising vote Of thanks was re-
turned by the children to Mr. Young, and
to those who gave the flags presented on
yesterday.

directress of the chapter, a letter Of

WAS A SUSPICIOUS FIRE.
Sailor Boarding House in YamRcraw
Nearly Destroyed.

The firemen were called out at $40
o'clock yesterday morning to No. 547 Or
ange street, where they found a large
three-story frame house ablaze. There
had been some delay in turning in the
alarm, and the fire had a good start when
the firemen arrived. Almost the entire
building was Quilted and the damage is
considerable.
The building is owned by a Mrs. Gates
and was occupied by Alonzo Merchants,
who conducted 1t as a sailor boarding
house. There were a large number of
beds in the house and there were many
occupants at the time. How all managed
to escape alive is a mystery. There are
suspicious circumstances in connection
with the fire No one could account for
its origin but a strong smell of coal oil
give foundation for the belief that the fire
was of incendiary origin.
