in the North, and the hotel proprietors
are puzzled to know how they will
make arrangements to provide for the
arrivals.
Yesterday was the record day for
the season with the hotels, but even
a greater rush is expected during the
latter part of the week. There was
much talk in the Hobbies of the De Soto
and Pulaski last night regarding the
need of a new hotel in Savannah. The
tourists all predict that great many
more people will visit Savannah next
year than have stopped over here this
season, and they insist that arrange
ments should be provided to accom-
modate more people.
The travelling men are all of the
opinion that another hotel in Savan-
nah would do a paying business. 1t
is said that on account of the fact
that all the hotels in Florida were
crowded this year, that the tourists
will next year stop in Savannah, and
many will go on to Havana in order
to avoid the rush in Florida.

R. J. TRAVIS DELIVERED
LECTURE TO D. A. RS,
De1ghtfuI Entertainment Mt Home
of Mr.. and Mrs. w. G.. CborItou.

Delightful Entertainment Mt Home
OF MIR. and Mrs. w. G. Charlton.
Under the auspices of the Savannah
Chapter, United Daughters of the Rev.
olutlon, Mr.. Robert ]. Travis last
night read an interesting lecture on
"Old and New Thoughts as to the Rev
olution."
The lecture was delivered at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. w. G. Charlton.
NO. SO2 Huntingdon street, east. The
affair was open to the public and
large crowd was present. The proceeds
are to be used by the D. A. r. in pa
triotic work
Mr.. Travis in his lecture gave some
interesting facts not generally known
IN connection with the Revolution. The
lecture showed that he had spent con-
siderable time in its preparation and
1t was enthusiastically received by the
audience present.
In attempting to lecture, however
briefly, to the Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution upon facts connected
with that Revolution, we are lectur-
ing TO specialists upon their own
speciality, something like carrying
Goals to Newcastle" said Mr.. Travis,
but 1 would suggest, in the outset, that
the history of the American Revolution
has been almost altogether written by
the New Highlander. The average stu
dent of to-day, from reading that his
tory, can almost imagine that, with
the exception of a few minor skir-
mishes, and some disorder in the
states, the whole matter was disposed
of entirely in Boston and its suburbs.
1T is true that it is admitted that the
mmander-in-chief came from Vir-
ginia, but they say he was to command
Northern troops; and they admit too,
that Jefferson had something to do
with the drafting of the Declaration of
Independence, but it is intmated that
this selection was somewhat a matter
of accident and done in Difference to
Virginia. With these and some few
similar concessions, we might gather
that the whole spirit of resistance, as
well as the whole idea of union, began
and eliminated upon Northern soil.
There, every skirmish was magni-
fed There to-day every spot in any
way associated with the revolutionary
events is sacredly commemorated in
tablets of marble or of bronze. Had it
not been for the action of you good
women, we of George would have pos
S1Dly forgotten tnaI Inere existed III
Savannah any body of patriots, or
that those Liberty boys, brave and pa
triotic, undaunted by threat and un-
wavering in their patriotic zeal, were
wont to gather yonder on Broughton
street in Tondee's tavern
After the lecture several vocal and
instrumental selections were rendered
and refreshments were served the
guests. The entertainment proved
most enjoyable occasion and besides
the D. A. r. members present, there
were representatives from a number
of other historical organizations.

In the United States court yester-
day compensation was awarded the
custodian of the estate of T. ]. Davis,
bankrupt, and also the master to whom
the matter had been referred. The
amount awarded the custodian, Mr.
Henry B. Harden, was $500. The mas
ter, Mr.. Anton Wright, was awarded
$780,
The report of the master allowed
$500 compensation to the attorneys
in the case, Messrs. Alexander &
Hitch and Messrs. OConnor, OByrne
& Hartridge. An objection to this
award was made by the attorney rep
resenting Mr.. Julian Schley, who holds
a secured claim against the estate on
heavy mortgage.
The objection was made on the
grounds that the time for awarding
compensation to the attorneys was
premature. The objection was sustain
ed by Judge Emory Speer.

TO HOLD A LOAN EXHIBIT.

Interesting Event Will Take Place
at the Woman's Club After EaAter.
In the Art and Curio Loan Exhibit
to be held at the Woman's Club after
Easter an event of more than ordi-
nary interest is to be anticipated. Sa-
vannah is rich in objects of historic
and artistic value, and no affair of
the character has ever been given
here, although not infrequent in other
cities. The loan exhibit in Charleston
year before last was among the not
able successes of the sort.
A meeting with regard to the mat
ter, which took place at the Woman's
Club yesterday afternoon, was well
attended and most interesting. 1t was
decided to hold the exhibit on the 18th
and 18th Of April. Whether it will be
kept open in the evening will be de-
clded later. Tickets will be sold for
the affair, and admission may be paid
at the door.
The committee In charge consists of
Mrs. Frank B. Screven, chairman:
Mrs. w. w. Mackall, Miss Madge Reid.
Mrs. j. A.sG. Carson, Miss Mary Ella
Johnson, Mrs. w. A. Bisbee, Mrs. John
Malloch, Mrs. H. M. Stoddard, Mrs.
Edward S. Elliott, Miss Mary S. Jones,
Miss Meta Thomas, Miss EIfrida De-
Renne, Miss Isabel Shotter, Miss Ma
bel Stoddard and Miss Elsie Barnard
Remarkable success has already
been met with. Among the articles
received for the exhibit are a number
of miniatures by Malbone, probably
the most noted of American miniature
painters; some interesting paintings;
curios of all sorts, and many valuable
papers, among them an original Wash
ington signature, and letter of
Thomas Jefferson's. There will also
be some beautiful old china and in
particular a collection of pitchers.
Some one passing through the city
has Offered a collection of Mexican
articles, and there will also be a Jap
anese collection.
A special meeting of the committee
has been called for Saturday at 12
o'clock.
Yesterday afternoon, after the bust
ness was disposed of, the first session
of the class in parliamentary drill was
held, Mrs. Morgan presiding. 1t proved
most charming and was thoroughly
enjoyed.
Friday evening DR.. Craig Barrow
will address the club by invitation.
His subject will be What to Do With
Our Young Criminals"

AN HISTORICAL EVENING.

A happy combination of historical
interest with lighter diversion made
the evening entertainment given yes
terday by the Savannah Chapter, D.
A. R., a very agreeable one. Mr..
Travis address on "Old and New
Thoughts as to the Revolution" was
greatly enjoyed, as were the less Sc
rtous portions of the programme.
Some delightful songs were sung by
Miss Eugenia Johnston, Mrs. N. J.
Ackermann, and Mrs. Gordon Harri-
son, and later ices and other refresh
ments were served.

improvements to Come with Open

The grading of Thirty-ninth street,
east, across the right of way of the
Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, will be
finished in a few days. and with the
completion of this work another de-
sirable section of the new part of the
city will be opened for house builders.
In order to put Thirty-ninth street,
east of the railroad, in a condition to
induce hone-seekers to invest there,
sidewalks and street crossings should
be laid. at least as far as East Broad
street. There are already number
of fine residences in that section, and
such an improvement as that indicated
would soon cause others to be built.
Doubtless a petition from those inter

AT THE THEATER

In addition to the fact that the Mabel
Paige Stock Company is one of the
best on the road. a repertoire of new
plays is being offered this week Good
scenery is carried by the company, and
much attention is paid to details, with
the result that no better shows are
given at popular prices. Miss Paiges
support is clever and she herself, as
always, popular. Specialties, many of
them original. are given after every
act. One of the interesting features
is the electric spectacular dance by
"Hermion,' after the performance.
The Girl From the West" a breezy,
stirring play of Western life. which
ends in modern drawing room in San
FRA ncisco, was presented yesterday at
the matinee. with Miss Paige in the

porting her on the wings of the wind
to the realm of OF, which is of course,
another name for fairyland. This now
Ell stage effect, which originated with
Julian Mitchell, the producer of the
new extravaganza, is declared to be a
marvel of scenic and mechanical stage
art. A poppy field in full bloom is an
other creation, and the domain of the
sorceress in the last act is a glimpse
of fairyland itself. Seats on sale
