Assessors Is Observation-Disclosures
OF Savannah's Prosperity.
Optimism characterizes the annual
report Of the Board of Tax Assessors,
filed yesterday afternoon with the
clerk of Council.
In this report it is shown that 1903
was year that has not been equalled
during the life of the municipal gov
eminent. For this reason it is par
ticularly interesting. 1T is with a
great deal of satisfaction and pleasure
that we call attention to the excel
lent showing that is made for the year
just ended" the assessors say IN their
report TO Council.
The figures that We submit for your
consideration must be extremely graft
flying, showing as they do. an increase
in valuations over 1902 of more than
900. No surer evidence of the
growth and prosperity of Savannah
can be found.
1t is shown. too, that the class of
Improvements that are being made are
not mediocre. And these improvements
that are so noticeable are not con-
fined to one section of the city. Sa-
vannah is growing on all sides and
the year that has just closed can be
looked back upon with pride by our
citizens.
Year without an Equal
1T was a year that has not been
equaled in the history of the munich
pal government. The first steel frame
building in Savannah-the new Germa-
mia Bank BUILDINGS about completed.
Similar structures in other parts of the
business district are under contempla.-
ton. and it is certain that during the
present year work viii be commenced
on at least ole other building of a sim
liar kind-the proposed new home on
the northwest corner of Bnoughton and
Bull streets, which viii be occupied by
the First National Bank of Savannah.
And the year that we are entering
promises to be an even brighter one.
The new City Hall will be completed
oeIoTe ASU4 mas passed away. 1t will
be handsome and thoroughly modern
structure fitting monument to Sa-
vannah's most progressive and success
full era. There are now in the course
OF construction a large number of at
tractive homes that are not accounted
for in the schedule for 1903 There can
be no stronger evidence of the pros
perity of a city than in the number of
new homes that are erected each year.
In this respect Savannah will compare
most favorably with any Southern city.
We regret to say that the franchise
valuations as furnished us by the con-
troller general. amounted to only $780,
727.

Daniels piece is said to be pure fun
from start to tinish interspersed with
music of the popular variety The libretto
is the work of that prolific and clever
writer. Harry b. Smith. and the score was
composed by Ludwig Englander, who has

Theatrical Notes.

The "comic opera queens" the singers
who attend Miss Erminie Earle in THE
Runaways," which comes TO English's next
Monday night, include some of the prettiest
show girls who ever appeared on Broad
way, if the press agent of the company is
to be credited. They are ten in number
and one of the features of w. L. Nee
hans song, "Susannah of Urbana," in
which their gorgeous gowns form the
twinkling background for the comedian.
The dresses worn by the show girls in this
musical number are said 10 be the most
steal comedy. They must be dazzling af-
fairs, indeed, if they are handsomer than
those worn by the show girls in Red
Feather.
Marie Tempest. the clever English come
dienne now appearing in Cincinnati, and
soon to close her American season in Chi
cago, has just secured the English rights
for Paul Kester's stage versions of Charles

non of Haddon Hail." and will present
both plays in London in the near future.
Miss Tempest has had highly success
full tour in this country with her comedy,
The Marriage of Kittiei" which is de
seen on the American stage for several
years. Her Chicago engagement will open
next Monday night at Powers Theater,
which has been made into an entirely new
playhouse since the great Chicago fire.
1t is not generally known that Annie Rus

latest play Lefty" but George Sam
miss, of Charles Frohman's staff who was
in the city yesterday arranging for Miss
Russells forthcoming appearance here in
Mice and Men, saws that the favorite ac-
tress will. in all likelihood, be seen in the
new play by the distinguished English
dramatist. Joseph Humphreys general
stage manager for Charles Frohman, sailed
yesterday for London, having been called
there by his chief to look over the plays
that Mr.. Frohman intends to produce in
America next season-"Letty,' ''The Duke

appears in Indianapolis on the evening of

a new reason Tor thanksgiving this year. A
still cooler glove than the plain silk glove
has been invented-a glove of silk net that
is neat and trim and altogether satisfac-
tory in appearance and is almost as cool as
no glove at all.
And mitts, OF course. there is no
prophesying as TO the certainty of the
things that concern lovely woman. but the
indications are that the quaint fingerless
handcoveringS which our grandmammaS
wore will have the run of their life this
summer. They will be so decidedly in keep
ing with the quaintness of the dropping
shoulders and the sweeping flOunces of the
present modes that il would be almost sin
not to give them vogue, but there is always
the possibility that Miady Up-to-Date will
turn up her nose at them and choose gloves
instead.
DEMAND FOR Isle COVERINGS.
The shops. however. anticipating a
demand for the mitts. and all kinds of pref
ty patterns are already on view in glove
cases. The lace patterns are always de-
srabe in mitts and a new and pretty va
ration has the hand of plain silk with the
lace reaching from the wrist to the elbow.
Mitts of plain silk in white or black. en-
broidered after the style of gloves, are also
among the possibilities OF the glove coun-
ters Neither is the humber lisle covering
TO be despised this season
The lace Isle glove of earlier summers
has disappeared, for which thanks are due;
but in its stead there is most desirable
lisle glove called the suede Isle. which
comes in white, tan and gray. The glove is
shown i'm two grades, both Of which have
very much the finish of the soft, undressed
kid gloves that are so dear TO the heart of
woman-and also 10 her pocketbook; and
the more expensive variety is SO beautifully
finished that il almost deceives even the
wearer into a belief that il is the real
thing These gloves wash beautifully, and
they with the plain glove of the very
heavy silk, which is also one of the newer
developments in summer gloves, will prob
ably be the favored things for general all
round wear i'm hot weather.

AFTER SEASONS OF STYLE SILK
GLOVES CONTINUE 1.-THE THING''
Danny Hand Coverings to Be Much E1vaence and Lrsh
Mttts and Longer Creations 7OW Be Worn

The silk-glove lady promises to be very
much abroad in the land during the coming
summer. Wrist length, elbow length and
halfway length, the silk glove will be worn
for street wear. for dress wear, for church
wear and for all kinds of wear.
The long gloves to wear with the popular
short-sleeved gown are not the most i'm
portant. perhaps. of the silk-glove family,
but they are the prettest-or perhaps it
would be nearer the truth to say that there
is greater amount of their prettiness.
There are the ones of lace-all-over lace, or
lace and silk in alternating bands that ac-
centuate the roundness of plump arm. y
distinct novelty is the glove of meta sew
ing-silk mesh that is strong and durable
eIaborately embroidered in a graceful pat
tern. These gloves are as smart as they
are pretty, and one pays price which
corresponds to their superlativeness in both
RESPECTS for them. The glove or embroid-
cred silk is perhaps a little later style than
the lace glove. In white. with the hand

Last German Play of the Season.
1t was settled last night beyond all doubt
that the German Theater Society of In
dianapolis will be permanent organization
and that the best German plays will con-
tinue TO be enacted in this city IN the orig
inal text during every theatrical season
hereafter. The last of the present season
series of dramatic performance in German
was given at English's last night before
large and appreciative audience, and it was
announced by Mr.. Thudiam, Of the German
Telegraph, who is one of the active figures
in the German Theater Society. that the
season had not only proved artistcally sue
cessfuI but that it had proved a gratify-
ing financial success as well. Next season
a number of handsome productions will be
given.
The performance last night was the pretty
comedy, I'm Weissen Roessr (''The
White Horse Tavern') and was splendidly
presented by the German Stock Company
from Cincinnati. This is the play by the
thai and Gustav Heidelberg, which has had
a great vogue in Germany during the last
ten years and which was adapted for the
English-speaking stage and produced in
America by Charles Frohman with great
success several years ago. 1t is a remark
ably well-constructed comedy, telling an
amusing little story in clean-cut style and
having number of interesting situations
that are brought about in a very natural
way. the story has TO deal with large
party of pleasure-SeekerS who are spending
few weeks during the summer at a noun
tain tavern in Austria. Many compica-
tions are developed as the result of a law
suit, which has taken place some time pre-
vio~sly and in which some of the summer
tourists have been interested. while three
entertaining love affairs also have much to
do with the action of the piece.
Fraulein Clairette Claire again demon
strated her exceptional versatility, for this
time this capable actress in the
role of the good-natured proprietress of the
tavern, with whom the ambitious head
waiter of the establishment is in love.
fraulein Claire has played both emotional
parts and comedy characters during the
season just closed, and in every instance
has given an excellent portrayal. She was
admirable last night. Heinrich Lowenthal
| gave humorous Characterization of a rich
manufacturer who has lost his lawsuit
and Hella Schultz and Helene Burger were
| spectively. Otto G. Schmidt contributed a
| spirited and well-Ordered rendering of a
/ young attorney, and other important parts
were played in competent fashion by Helm
/ rich Reeb. Clemens Bauer, Elsa Corty,
/ Hans Binder and other talented members
/ of the company.
The comedy was adequately staged
/ throughout and the famous summer storm
at the copclusion of the first act. with its
rainfall Of real water was given i'm a
! thorough manner that spoke well for the
/ stage management of Herr Schmid. The
performance was much enjoyed from begin
ming TO end.
