Light at LAST.

Yesterday evening the Pensacola Ligh, and
Heat Company forced the air out of the mains
and turned on The gas, and for the first time in
her history Pensacola beheld her streets lighted
with gas. AS the shades OF evening began to
fall, all along Palifox street and in some of the
principal stores and saloons beautiful white liz LIT
diffuscd its radiance around, and the Plaza de
Ferdinand presented spectacle such as to make
the oldest citizen stare IN wonder Pensacola
had made another step in The line OF advance
ment, and those white lights cleaning
along her principal streets, and on her favorite
square, proclaimed that she had shaken off the
mould OF the past, and was stepping out in full
accord with the advancement of the 10Th cen
turp. The gas is II beautiful white light OF forty
candle power. We learn the company will be
ready to serve the whole city by To morrow even.

American Newspapers I'm 1854.

From the edition of Messrs Geo u.
Rowell & Co.'S. American Newspaper
Directory, now in press, it appears that
the newspapers and. periodicals of all
kinds at present issued in the United
States and Canada reach grand total of
1902. This is a net gain of precisely
500 during the last twelve months, and
exhibits an increase of j els over the total
number published just ten years since.
The increase in 1874 over the total for
1873 was 1913 Daring the past year the
dailies have increased from LBS to
1854; the weeklies from 9,O62 to a,O2S
and the monthlies from |, 09l to 400.
The greatest increase il in the Western
States. Illinois, for instance, now shows
1909 papers in place Of last years total
of 9O4, while Missouri ISSUES 604 instead
of 523 reported in 1888 Other leading
Western States also exhibit great per-
centage of increase The total number
of papers in New York State is 1923,
against 1899 in 1888. Canada has
shared in the general increase

LOGAN AT CHATAUQUA.
His Very Neat Little Speech Before
the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union.

CHAUTAUQUA, n. Y, Aug. 16.-The clos
ing meeting of the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance union this afternoon, Gen. j. c..
Blake, Democratic elector from Illinois, and
Geo. Farnham. of Vermont, are here with
their wives, who were graduated with the
class of 1884. This afternoon John A..
Logan was presented in the ampitheater to
ten thousand people. The general was
greeted with prolonged cheering and shout
ing and waving of handkerchiefs. General
Logan replying to the address of presenta-
ton said:
Ladies and gentlemen, there's certainly
enough in this audience to inspire anyone
who is capable of addressing you in an APP
proprate and proper manner. In that | GER
tainly would fail were I to attempt it. In
mans economy there arc wastes, and waste
of time is one of them. Some years ago
men of sufficient breadth of Judgment and
views were found to provide for that waste
in an appropriate and efficient way in the
organization OF this assembly, so that the
time of rest, time which might pass away
without benefit. should be used to advantage.
And here ontA this beautiful
spot Of ground, near this lovely lake of Chau-
tauqua, amid the tall elms and wide spread
ing beaches, we find assembled thousands,
meeting to enjoy great moral and intelec-
tual feast, the influence Of which will ramify
every portion OF this Republic. Here you
have lectures on the arts, sciences, literature,
philosophy and religion, sending out their
influence like little riyulets thot flow out from
here to form the broad ocean of
| moral sentiment that surrounds this
great people Tie great benefits,
extent and power of which | am
not competent To express. In all govern
ments and countries in the exercise of
authority in the making of laws, in the exc
cution of same, there ought to go along hand
in hand in hand with them that moral senti-
ment which will make our natures finer and
gentler in dealing with our fellow men.
| Applause. | came to this place this morn
| ing after many promises TO myself that
should visit and see the good people that as
semble here. l am glad / have made the
| visit, and thank you for your
kindly greeting. l shall go away
with remembrances that shall last
long. When | return to my home l shall re-
member the lesson that this visit has taught
me, that is, that there are no periods of pleas
ure belonging to man that may not be util-
lied for our benefit.
General Logan remained on the platform
during the giving of the concert by 300
voices, under the direction of C. C. Case, of
Akron, Ohio. Z. A. Excel, of Chicago, sang
a solo. Another concert was given this eve
ming by the choir and the Yale college glee
club. The audiences to-day were the largest
ever known at Chautauqua.
