WILL CALL FOR BIDS
FOR POST HOSPITAL.
Hospital for Fort Sereven Will II
Modern i'm All Respects.

Modern i'm All Respects.
The quartermaster general has
notified the quartermaster in charge of
the Improvements at Fort Screven that
the original site on which it was in
tended to erect the post hospital has
been selected.
An effort was made to change the
site, but an examination of conditions
showed that the old site is the better,
and hence it was selected. Bids for
the erection of the hospital will be
called for within the next few days.
There will be an administration build
ing, ward building and kitchen an
mex in the hospital. The administra-
ton building will be 40 by AZ feet and
will be two stories high. A wide We
randa will extend along the entire
front of the building. The ward build
ing will be "a feet by 80 feet, and will
be one story high. There will be
from twelve to sixteen beds in the
hospital
All the buildings will be modern in
every sense of the word. The most
modern appliances will be supplied the
hospital for the treatment of all cases
of wounds and diseases that may de-
velop among the soldiers. In every
respect the hospital will be thorough
ly equipped. AS soon as the bids have
been opened here they will be for
warded to Washington and the con-
tract awarded there. Work on the
post hospital will then begin at once.

CARDS TO CHILDREN
UNDER FOURTEEN.
Important Ruling Made at Meeting
of Library Managers.

Important Ruling Made mt Meeting
of Library Managers.
BY a ruling of the Public Library
board OF managers at it's meeting
last night, children under IA years
may hereafter be issued cards, provid-
ed they are at the time of issuance
Endorsed by the parents, thus insuring
the library against loss.
BY still another ruling the library
will close hereafter on but three hol-
idays of the year, Christmas, Memo
rial Day and Thanksgiving.
AT the meeting were Messrs.
George ]. Baldwin, II. c. Cum
bingham, A. A. Lawrence, Otis Ash
more, II. w. Witcover and j. NJ.
Thomas. The report for November
was submitted, and is in brief as fol-
lows:
Books taken out in November, A.
ass. These were as to subject CLASH
fed as follows: Philosophy. Is; reii-
gion. IA; sociology, 20; philology, 2;
natural science, IL; useful arts, Z;
fine arts. %; literature, 113; history
264; fiction, 1896. Cards issued during
the month, lis; visitors for the month,
ga; fines collected for the month,
$402S; volumes catalogued, 200; cards
used, 547; visits made by members of
the board of managers for the month,
40; new books received and prepared
for use, rs; Bodley Club books re-
ceived, 60; Bodley Club books return
I'd, 60.
The conclusion to let children have
cards of their own was reached after
much consideration of the probable
results, and talking over the experience
had with the old method, which was
to give children under IA years books
only on the recommendation of older
persons. That parents indorse the
cards when issued, thus agreeing to
make good all losses, seemed to the
managers a much better plan and
worthy of trial. 1t is considered one of
the most important steps taken by the
board of managers in some time.
The closing of the library on the
three holidays was believed sufficient
for the year. There are too many hol-
idays to close up on all, it was
thought.

IN PRIVATE WARD MISS
SCHWEITZER RESTS
Young Woman Is Rapidly Recover
ing from Her Wound.

Removed to private ward, and with
every attention that could be provided,
Miss Irma Schweitzer spent a quiet
and restful day at the Park View SAM
tarium yesterday. During the day
number of friends called, and she APP
peared brighter than on the previous
day.
Since it is certain she will recover
and all of the facts leading up to the
attempt at self-destruction are known,
the young lady is being protected from
undue publicity as far as possible
After a consultation the physicians at
tending her decided not to make an
attempt to extract the bullet, as 1t is
not located at a dangerous point now
The superintendent of police received
a telegram yesterday from Mr.. Weiss
Of New York, an uncle of the young
woman, asking detailed account of the
occurrence be furnished him, and that
no expense be spared in making Miss
Schweitzer comfortable. Accounts of
the shooting. taken from the Morning

NEW HOME FOR
BANK & TRUST CO.
WILL BE BUILT SHORTLY
ON THE SITE OF THE PRESENT
BUILDING.

Further Than This Fact no Details
Have Been settIed-COmmittee OF
Directors Appointed to Take the
Matter in Charge and "A Call Is
sued to Architects to submit De-
signs-The Building Is Likely to
Be Six Stories or More.
The Savannah Bank and Trust Com
pany, following the recent example of
the Germania Bank and the National
Bank of Savannah, will shortly be-
gin the construction of a new, large,
and in every way modern building.
This was decided at a meeting of
the board of directors yesterday morn
ing.
A committee was appointed to
consider the further plans in
the matter. but aside from
this action nothing has been done,
though a call is made through the
columns of the Morning News this
morning for all architects. who care
to compete, to submit plans. The right
is reserved to reject any plans not
considered desirable.
To Build on Present Site.
President Weed of the Savannah
Bank and Trust Company when ask
ed about the new building shortly aft
err the meeting of the directors. said
that practically nothing had been de-
cided about it other than it is to oc-
cupy the site of the present build
ing, occupying a lot 60 feet on Bay
street, and 80 feet on Drayton street,
at the southwest corner.
It is still to be decided, he said,
how many stories the building will
consist of, OF what material it shall
be constructed. and what the cost
will be. All these things will be taxi
en- into consideration, when the plans
of the architects have been received.
The committee in charge of the mat
. ter will have a meeting next week,
when it is probable something of the
desired details of the building will be
decided.
Not Less Than Six Stories.
1t is believed the building will hard
ly be less than six stories in hight
and it is possible it may be more, for
a rumor was current on the Bay some
weeks ago that several firms had al
ready made application for quarters
in the building in case one should be
erected, and to accommodate these firms
as we'll as the number of occupants
of the present structure. would mean
that a pretty large sized building
would have to be constructed.

DREARY AND GLOOMY
WEATHER CONTINUES.
Storm Signals Were Ordered Down
Yesterday Morning.


Cold. dreary. gloomy weather con-
tinued all day yesterday, and night
brought no relief.
Mercury started from the 81 degree
point and, in the absence of even a
hint of sunshine, made a pitiable ef-
fort to climb higher, but could get no
farther up the tube than the 3S degree
point. Then it began falling again. and
late last night was nearly back to its
starting point.
Late in the afternoon a cold. drizzling
rain began falling. A northeast wind
whirled the spray into the faces of
pedestrians and drove the cold through
the thickest clothing. The streets
were wet and dreary in appearance,
and the cabs plying ceaselessly to and
fro behind wet, shivering horses lent
not even one little touch of brightness
to the scene. Humanity's feelings
struggled along in a vain effort to be
cheerful for awhile and then struck
partnership with mercury and went
down.
The night was even worse than the
day Had been. Heavy clouds hung over
the entire sky, shutting out moon and
stars and dripping a cold, misty rain
upon the unfortunates whose business
called them from warm firesides, COM
Portable club rooms, and memories of
summer. The wind shifted from the
northeast to the west, freshened con-
siderably, and with a fiendish whistle,
cut into unprotected faces. At mid
night there were no signs of, relief,
and mercury was continuing it's way
on the downward path.
Early in the morning the storm sig
mails were ordered down. The reason
given was that all danger from the
storm had passed, but it is limited that
the Weather Man Joined in the spirit
of cheerlessness that was all-pervading
and hauled down the flags because
they were too emblematic of something
light and gay and fiuttering. And
there was nothing in the heavens above,
the earth beneath, or the waters under
the earth to justify cheerfulness. 1t
was dredry, dismal, gloomy weather
without even one little ray of bright
ness to relieve the gray monotony.

Lowery was arrested at the instance
of the furniture company about ten
