The Best Time to Buy valuables.

Inc Best limo TO Buy Valuables.
This is the dull season of the year. This
information is not exclusive or from inspi-
ration. Trade is pretty well as far as it
goes-but it doesn't go far. The purchasing
power Of dollar now is something surpris-
ing, simply because there are more dollars
than trade. in word, we are now inclined
to give a very large dollars worth for 100
cents just to keep things moving. Within
the past few months we have added to our
stock in various ways, new ideas. new con-
ceits, Lew tricks and quips in jewelry, and
SO on. We've got to keep up, you know.
with the strides of inventive and artistic
excellence Our stock is worth looking
over, and, as intimated, we mill sell peyIi
close to move some of it, This is a good
time TO renew household articles. Solid
Silver table ware, superb plated ware,
ornamental goods For personal use or
adornment we offer line par excellence of
Ladies' fine Gold, Silver and Diamond
Jewelry, Ladies Watches, Chains and

On His Way to the Barracks
Policeman Lightbody was standing at the
corner of Waldburg and Abercorn streets
at noon yesterday waiting for a car, when
he was attacked with severe pain In the
top of his head. He came very near falling
TO the ground, but caught hold of a fence
and held on until the arrival of the car.
lie got on the car feeling somewhat better
Confident that 1t was only a headache, he
gave the matter no further thought When
he got of the car he was violently attacked
again with the same pain. This time it
was attended with a severe dizziness and
fainting. Officer Townsend, who was
standing near the sick man, saw
him as he staggered across the
sidewalk aud running to him, held him
In his arms until other policemen arrived
aud assisted in carrying him into the office.
DIR. Owens was near by, and after looking
at the man, saw that he had received a sun
stroke. DIR. Drummer was then summoned
and treated the case. In a short while the
sick man was better, but he was very nerv-
Gus and almost exhausted from the stroke.
DR.. Drummer thinks that the case is not at
all serious Policeman Lightbody has Just
returned from Bellevue hospital, where he
has been under treatment for his ewes. He
seemed very much rejuvenated on his re-
turn. and received numerous congratula-
tions from his friends on his improved con-

THE FIRST AFRICAN CHURCH.
The Completion of the Improvements
in Its Irterior-A Handsome Ediflce.

The Completion of the Improvem envs
in It's 1rterior-A Handsome Edifce
Now that the memorial windows are in
place and the finishing touches have been
made to the interior Of the First African
Baptist church, the building presents very
attractive appearance, and one that will
compare favorsbly with the places Of
worship OF more ealthy congregations.
The memorial windows are two in num-
Der, and are in the alcove of the church, the
stained glass shedding mellow light on the
altar fountain beneath, which is of oiled
walnut, upholstered in crimson plush. Life
ike portraits Of Rev. Andrew Bryan and
Rev. George Gibbons in the northwestern
window and OF Rev. William "Cambell"
and Rev. Andrew Marshall in the south
west window, are artistically finished in the
glass panes OF the memorial windows.
The columns supporting the arch of the
altar recess are blending of the Ionic with
the Corinthian. On either side of the
columns on tie western walls are marble
Is lets. South of the altar the tablet is of
white marble on which is chiseled bust
OF Rev. Andrew Marshall, and below is an
open Bible across which in raised letters is
the quotation, Search the Scriptures
The inscription on the tablet is in raised
letters and is as follows:
MARSHALL, pastor for "A years Of the First
African Baptist church, Savannah, GA. Died
Dec Z. 1886, aged 100 years. He finished his
work and Is safe with his God. On earth he
bore cross, liz heaven he wears a crown.
Erected by the Sabbath school Supt G.. L.
Lamotta."
North of the altar, and on the western
wall, is an Italian marble tablet with the
inscription carved deep in tine marble, and
tlnged with black to bring the letters ont
in full relief, which tells that the memorial
Is Sacred to the memory of Andrew Bryan,
pastor OF the FIRST African Baptist church
OF savannah, who departed this life Oct. o,
1872, 10 the Goth year of his age" Then
follows an appropriate sentiment 70 his life
and character, and that verse from the
Bible: How beautiful upon the mountain
are the feet Of him that bringeth good
tidings, that publisheth peace unto thou
sands, that saith unto Zion thy God
reignethn
There are full length double windows of
stained glass OF varied colors in the north
and south walls of the new addition, and
the light, ventilation, enlarged seating
capacity and artistic finish of the interior
combine to make the church a beautiful
place Of worship, while the bell tower,
rapidly approaching completion, gives the
exterior all the added attraction of an i'm
posing religious edlfice.
FeN, if any, of the churches of the south
have so large seating capacity as the church
which has but recently celebrated most sue
cessfully the close of its first century of
existence. 1t begins well on its second
century.

THE CITY's WATER SUPPLY.
The Eighteen Artesiaa Wells Furnish
ing 6,5oO,OOo Gallons Day.

OtOOO,OOO q lay
The eighteen artesian wells at the water
works are proving ample to supply the
largely. increased demand for water this
year over Last year. Superintendent Miller
said yesterday that the pumps are now
sending 6, 500, 900 gallons of water daily into
the city, and there is no appreciate
diminution Of the supply.
The machinery Of the water works is kept
in an excellent condition, and the ponderous
pumps are almost noiseless in performing
their herculean work. 1t requires about
eight cords of wood every twenty-four
hours, and pressure of from forty to
forty-fve pounds Of steam is maintained.
During the night, when there is a large fall
ing on in water uses in the city, the pump
ing capacity is reduced, although the press
ure is kept up. During the day one engineer
and one fireman are oil duty, but at night
two hremen are required, SO that in the
event Of fire or the sickness of one fireman
another may be at hand to meet the ext
gency.
Dir. Miller was asked how his gas reser-
voir Is getting along. He said that he has
not been able to get il in working order yet,
but he Is now at work on it, and expects to
have it ready for experiment shortly. He
still thinks there is enough gas coming from
the artesian wells to illuminate the water

the water and utilize it If possible.
The handsome appearance of the water
works grounds is noticeable. The wells are
neatly housed, and the well houses painted,
adding much to the attractiyeness of the
grounds, and they look like so many bee
hives, for which strangers often taken them
The fresh water overflow lake is q CLASSY
and beautiful piece OF water bordered by a
pretty flower garden on one side, and its
banks fringed with green sward, over which
shady oaks droop in romantic beauty, deep
ened by the long pendants of moss which
droop in profusion from the long arms of the
ancient trees.
4 hydrant is placed near the superintend-
ents house, where visitors can drink the
artesian water fresh from the wells, much
coolor than it is when sent through the
miles of mains to the city, the principal
main leading from the water works being
on the surface until the Ogeechee canal Is
crossed. The main through which the
water is conveyed to the city is feet in
diamet r, which is ample for the passage OF
the 6,501,00 gallons required daily. The
main into the Savannah river is feet in
diameter and is kept In good order for use
when an exigency arises to render it neces-
sary TO be drawn upon.

The local political interest was about
evenly divided yesterday between the con-
gressional convention at Brunswick and the
national republican convention at Chicago.
The bulletins at the MORNING NEWS office
and the Western Union telegraph office
we're closely watched all day.
The principal interest in the Chicago con-
vention 80 far as Savannah Is con-
cerned is confined TO the nominal
tons and platform. The preliminary
proceedings and the details of the
convention work are not especially inter
esting here. The interest was greater yes
terday than it was the day before, because
the convention vas nearing a nomination.
IL did not reach one though. To-day will
probably develop the result
The interest in the Brunswick con-
vention was greater than IL has
been Ut any time since the convention met
because yesterday was looked upon as a de-
cisiYe day. Mayor LISTERS nomination last
night was received with genuine enthusiasm
