Th progress of modem fnel-eal
has led to iht discovery of successful
method* of treatment for most of tho.-
inalat:.*s once regnrd<sl as IndimMe.
A.sthm.i lias always been regarded as tv
longing to this obstinate class, baffling
the skill of the greatest physicians. Thous
ands of suffefeis know by their own ex
perience that !h?!e, if any. relief has Ixei
afforded them by the methods heretofore
mployed. Dr. Rudolph S liiffmann. th
not* •! physic an. has, after
aitidy of asthma and kindred diseases, dis
covered a remedy which not only gives
ins', nt relief in the severest cases of Asth
ma, Hay Fever and Bronchitis, but
actually cured thousands whose cases had
l*en pronounced incurable. So complete
as h‘s confidence in his remedy, that to
overcome the skepticism of the public
growing out of the failure of other reme
dies. Dr. Schiffmann requests this paper
to announce that all day Thursday. Dee.

niann’s Asthma Cure** fr.*e of charge to
all pet sons applying at W. D. Cubbedge’s
drug store. 111 Barnard street, under Odd
Fe.lows' Hall. He believes that an actual
test will be the most convincing, and in
fact the only, way to overcome the natural
prejudice of thousands of asthmatics who
have heretofore sought relief in vain. Per

The review thi.- afternoon of the Seventh
Army Corps nn-l a:i other I’nitetl States
troops stationed in the vicinity of Savan
nah wilt l.e the most brilliant military
spectacle seen here since the civil war.
Seventeen thousand men will pass by
Oen. Lee. who will 1> on horseback on
the Drayton street side of the park ex
tension, opposite Bolton street. with
him will be his siutT officers, and the
Georgia Hussars, acting as an honorary
escort. The Hussars met last night at
their armory ,in fulj dress uniform for
Inspection. Fiom th.* number prese.it
and the interest manifested it is evident
that there wlil Ik* one* of the largest?
turnouts in the recent history of this pop
ular eavairy organization. The Hussars
wiii meet nt their armory this afternoon
at 2 o'clock, mounted and In fu’l dress uni
form. and will escort Gen. I.ee from the
l>e Soto to the reviewing point in the pa
rede ground. (.'apt. Rierne Gordon will
be In command and the company wlil mak*-
an attractive feature of the review.
The review w! 1 l>cgin ptompily at 3
o'clock, the various regiments having been
oidoted to leave the camping grounds in
am pie time- to reach, the Park extension in
foil tone to have the inarch jtast the re
viewing general start at the hour mention
ed. ilaj. Gen. Kiefer wlil be in command of
the troops for the occasion.
Thirty to forty thousand people will
probably witness the review. The crowds
of the previous review will mosi iikely be
exceeded. The greater number of troops
and me fact that this wiil lie the last re
v,ew or the corps on American soil, to
gether with the closing of many business
houses for two hours or more in order to
give their employes an opportunity to see
the pageant, will all tend to make the
crowd one of the largest Savannah has
seen since the centennial celebration
Many visitors will he in from the coun
try. the railroads having offered cheap
rafe* for the occasion.
The feeling seems to be strongly in favor
of as near a general suspension of busi
ness for the time between 2 and 5 p. m.
as possible. The Board of Trade will Ik
closed at 2 o'clock. Th custom house will
ciose from 2 to 4 o'clock and will bo open
from t to 5:3n o'clock to meet any re
quirements of the shipping trade. The
Cotton Exchange has taken no
steps towaid closing. but there
"ill Ire f‘*w idlers about it
until late In the afternoon. Mayor Mel
drim may give employes at the city ex
change an afternoon off. .No order was
Issued to this effect yesterday, but the
clerks fully exi>ect it this morning. Mayor
Meldt im gave the employes an afternoon
off when the last review took place. Mer
chants generally can close thtir stores dur
ing the- hours the review is in progress
without suffering any financial loss. The
lavor is one that wiil lie greatly appre
ciated by their help, and the compliment
indicated will not be lost on the soldiers.
The postoffice, owing to the rush and char
acter of i>s business, cannot close. The
• -ay promises to Ik a clear, bracing one,
lu-u such a day as will give a vim and
snap to the review that will add to its
beauty. Altogether it promises to lie one
of the most memorable military events
Savannah has ever known.

It is with feelings of deepest emotion,
heartfelt gratitude and love, that we, the

for your thoughtful consideration in sup

and generously provided. Therefore, by
spontaneous unanimity we have resolved:
First. That words are Inadequate to fully
express our delight at the kind reception
tendered us; our enjoyment of the select
and bountiful repast; and our high appre
ciation of the motives which actuated the
fair ones whose delightful presence adorn
ed our table, whose tender care and com
prehensive intuition administered to our
bodily wants; and whose love smiles and
charming conversation, lifted the veil of
endless monotony attending camp life, and
not only made us feel as if we were once
more at home and in the bosom of our
loved ones, but inspired us with new cour
age, life and zeal, and animated us for
future deeds of valor (should the occasion
arise), the accomplishment of which, for
the glory and honor of our country, we
shall strive to make our chief aini nnd
ambition.
Second. Whether in the boundaries of
our grand and glorious union. Cuba, Porto
Rico. Philippines, or upon foreign soil in
distant land, we shall ever cherish and
preserve fresh in our minds, the memory
of that grand Thanksgiving occasion at
Camp Onward. Savannah, as one of the
most charming nnd enjoyable occasions in
the annals of our army experience.
Third. Resolved, That copies of these
resolutions be presented to each of the
members of the above committee, and that
same be published in the Savannah. Ga..
and Norfolk. Va.. t-apers.
We have the honor to submit ourselves.

Proceed* of the Fair.
.Masonic Hall is again the scene of the
fusUr and activity of a church fair. Last
night the ladies of the Lutheran Church
cf tlie Ascension inaugurated their baza:.
For the opening night it was very success
ful. and the managers have every hope of
its proving very remunerative. It will be
in continuance for ten days.
The ladies hate a laudable object in
holding the fair. There is a debt upon
the church, incurred through the city hav
ing paved two of the streets upon which
it abuts, and tills is 'an abomination .n
Ihe sight of the lady members. What
they want is to see iheir house of worship
unburdened, and no doubt is entertained
of their ability to bring this about. They
did it once before when the debt was
much larger than now, and there is every
reason to believe that history. In its time
honored way, will repeat itself.
The hall presented a lively scene. There
were many ladies present, and the gentle
men who attended were gracefully enter
tained. Music was had and the young
people enjoyed danctagr- This is always a
lopular pastime, and ihe young men will
doubtless make this feature of the fair
one of the most successful.
There is an adjunct of the fair that is
sure to lie patronized. This is the supper
table over which Mrs. H. E. Dreeson, as
sisted by a number of ladies, precedes *
choice.array of delicacies Js kept in readi
ness by the ladies, and the hungry can be
fed at a slight cost. With the recognized
ability of the ladies in all culinary under
takings no question can be entertained of
the tempting nature of the viands that
w ill grace their tables. Those who wili as
sist Mrs. Hreeson are Mesdames H. Lang,

A MASONIC EVENT.
Three Degrees on One Candidate
< nil T*vo on Another Lust Night.
For the first time in tiie local history of
Masonry, the three degrees of the blue
lodge were conferred upon a candidate
last night within the space of a few hours.
And not only ‘hat, but a second candidate,
who had taken the first degree, was passed
to the second, and raised to the third de
gree at the same ti-me. Ordinarily it re
quires eight weeks or more to make a
Mason, but on this occasion two of them
were made in less than as many hours;
hence it was necessarily an extraordinary
occasion.
The event was under the auspices of
Zerubbabel Lodge No. 15, which had re
ceived a special dispensation from the
Grand Lodge of the State of Georgia for
the purpose. Zerubbabel had received a
request from Metropolitan Lodge No. 49,
A. F. and A. M., of Dubuque, la., to con
fer the fellowcraft and master's degrees
upon Lieut. C. J. Stewart of the Forty
ninth lowa Regiment, U. 9, V. The same
BECOMING A MOTHER.
A Sure Way to Avoid Danger.
Every true woman wants to be a
mother. A baby is the dream of her life
—the crowning glory of womanhood
true happiness can never lie known
without, the blessings a child brings.
Yet the ordeal through which all
mothers must pass is so full of pain,
anxiety nnd fear, that many a young
life is sacrificed because of the inability
to undergo the struggle of childbirth.
It is not necessary to suffer in bring
ing new life into the world. By the
use of “Mother’s Friend,” the suffer
ing nnd danger can lie avoided, and
the hour robbed of itsjdread and pain.
This remedy is praised by thousands
who have tested it. Every woman is
anxious to loam how to avoid the
pain and suffering which may be in
sto'-e for her. The little book, “Before
Baby is Born,” will be sent free to any

lodge had also received an application
from Private W. L. Coliison, Signal Corps,
U. S. A., to be initiated into Masonry.
Lieut. Stewart had received bis first de
gree in Dubuque. Masonic law provides
especially for members of the regular
army and the navy, as in Private Coill
son's case, hence it was only necessary
that he should be properly vouched for;
which had been done in regular and satis
factory manner. The troops having been
ordered to Cuba, it was the desire of both
the candidates lo receive their degrees and
become Master Masons as speedily as pos
sible; lienee the application of Zerubbabel
for a special dispensation, which was
granted.
At the invitation of Zerubbabel, Lan
drum Lodge No. 48, W. S. Pottinger, W.
M.. conferred the E. A. degree, and Sol
omon’s Lodge No. 1, C. F. Fulton, W.
M., conferred the F. C. degree, while Ze
rubbabel Lodge No. 15, David B. Falk,
W. M., conferred the M. M. degree.
The werk of the three lodges in the
three degrees was superb. The lodge room
was crowded with local and visiting Ma
sons. the military being largely represent
ed among the latter; and each brother
present enjoyed nnd appreciated the un
usual spectacle of three degrees in one
night, as well as tile admirable and im
pressive manner in which the degrees were
given. After the ceremonies, which con
tinued from shortly after 7 till past mid
night, a collation was served, ai which
warm friendships were made between citi
zen and soldier Masons, and the newly
made brothers were hidden an affectionate
welcome to the fraternity and a sympa
thetic godspeed on their mission to a
foreign shore.
