a Pure Cocoa.

The Breakfast Cocoa prepared by Messrs.
W. Baker & Co., Dorchester, is generally
recommended by physicians as the only fit
ting drink for the morning meal This ad-
vice specially applies to invalids, for it
tones the stomach and in many cases acts as
meat and drink for the sick. The manu.
facturers warrant this Cocoa absolutely
pure, and it is soluble, the excess of oil
being properly and carefully removed. No
chemicals are used in its manufacture. 1t
is guaranteed to have three times the
strength of ordinary Cocoa, because the
latter is invariably mixed with sugar or
arrowroot, and for this reason Bakers
Cocoa is the cheapest as well as the best.
W. Baker & Co.'S Cocoa is delicious. nour-
ishing, strengthening and easily digested.

THE NEW SOUTH SUNK.
The Steamer Goes Down With a
CARGO OF Wood.

Cargo Of Wood.
Toe steamer New South sunk in the
river, opposite Hammond, Hull e. Co.'S
guano works. night before last. The
steamer was on her way down the river to
Savannah She left here Friday in COM
mand Of Capt. W. T. Gibson, her owner,
for Frying Pan or Red Bluff landing, about
fifty miles up the river, to take on a cargo
Of STICK wood. She was loaded when she
sunk with fifty cords Of oak wood,
belonging to DR.. r G. Norton, who
was on board at the time Of the accident,
with Messrs. +. p. Bond, c. NJ. Cunning
ham, Z. T. Conner, and Curry Wright, who
had cen hunting at Red Bluff, and were
on their way back 10 Savannah.
The New South and the Ethel both pulled
out from Purysburg landing about
o'clock on their way down the river,
slowed down to allow tho Ethel
to pass her. In passing she received the
wash of the EthePs paddle, and it was then
noticed that the water was washing over
her bow. This was the first intimation
Capt. Gibson had that anything
was wrong with her, and he i'm

the water at low tide being within about
two feet Of the promenade deck, the hull
being entirely submerged. The hunting
party was in the saloon, and did some
hustling to get out of that cabin. One of
the party had his shoes off, and came off
the boat with one shoe in his hand. They
went ashore with the crew and the watch
man, Frank Frasier, and staid by until
yesterday morning. A considerable portion
Of the wood foated off, but a fiat was
dropped down alongside Of the sunken
steamer yesterday, and some Of it was
taken off.
1t is thought that the vessel can be
raised in a few days without much
difficulty. The only cause which could be
assigned for her sinking is that she started
some of her "buttes" and was taking in
water very rapidly before it was discovered
that there was anything the matter with
her
The steamer had been engaged in hauling
wood down the river for several weeks,
and had previously had as much wood on
her as on this trip. The boat wasPwned
by Capt w. T. Gibson, and was
built at Augusta a couple Of years ago by
Woodward g. Stallings, about the same
time that the Progress and Advance were
built. She was a stern wheel boat, and
was quite handy for going in shallow water
on account Of her draught. Capt. Gibson
had recently reduced the size of her wheel,
which increased her speed perceptlbly.

Chief Fireman Puder is busily engaged in
making up his annual report to the mayor,
and it will be one Of the most exhaustive
ever tabulated, and will have the merit Of
being as approximately correct as it is pos
sible to get it. A full list of all the fires in
blank, with the names of occupants and
owners, the style Of building and location
has been sent en- all the insurance agents,
with the request that they fill in the insur-
ance and loss on the building and stock. All
but two Of the agents have reported.
During the year 167 alarms were sent in,
and the losses by fire were heavy, the big
fire which. started on Broughton street and
swept enthusiastically through four streets,
the cotton factory fire, and the cotton COM
press fire tending 10 swell the figures to an
extent that makes the fire record for 1889

new hose reel, heaters for the engines, an
aerial truck, and a chemical engine have
been purchased, additional boxes are to be
added, and the next annual report will not
be apt to show such heavy losses. Chief

LITTLE SISTERS OF THE POOR.
They Establish a Home in the Old
Episcopal Residence.

They Establish a Home in the Old
Episcopal Residence.
Seven members of the Little Sisters of
the Poor have arrived in Savannah, and
have established their home in the old
episcopal residence at Perry and Drayton
streets. They are the first members of the
sisterhood that have ever been south of
Richmond on the Atlantic coast. They
came TO Savannah at the instance of Bishop
Becker. The mother provincial, st. Pierre,
Of the United States accompanied them
here, and will remain until they have estab-
lished the home thoroughly. The work OF
incorporating the home will begin to-day
but not until it is thoroughly Incorporated
will the sisters open its doors. 1t will be a
home for the poor and needy, unrestricted
to denomination or sect.
The work Of the Little Sisters began at
st. Ssrvan, a small town in Brittany, ON
the Atlantic coast, where large number OF
destitute people live. Two young girls, 16
and 10 years old. began the work, guided by
one of the priests of the parish. They took
into their home destitute old woman, and
nursed and cared for her. They begged
aims, and thus supported her. Other
destitute and Door came to them, and the
Little Sisters we're joined by others also
engaged in the good work.
The second house of the order was founded
in Rennes by four sisters. Later houses were
established at Paris. Nantes, and Besancon,
in France. In 1850 houses were established
in Anglers, Bordeaux, Nancy, aud Rouen.
In 1851 as many houses were founded as
were founded the preceding year. The
congregation Of the Little Sisters was nearly
800 strong. During the last thirty-five
years 3 500 Little Sisters have embraced the
way of life which was first attempted IN the
lowly lodging Of Fanchon Aubert, by Marie
de la Compassion, Marie Tnerese, and Marie
de la Croix. They feed and care for 9, 500 DO 5r.
They have more than 2l0 houses in
France, Alsace, Belgium, Italy, Spain,
Algeria, England, Scotland, Ireland,
United States, and India In 1865 house
was founded in Brooklyn. In December of
the same year another house was founded in
New Orleans In 1879 houses were estab-
lished in Baltimore, st. Louis Philadelphia,
and Louisville. The succeeding year houses
were established in Boston, Cleveland, and
New York, followed by the establishment
of houses in Washington, D. c., Albany,
n. Y, Allegheny, Pa. During the in erval
between 1878 and 1882 fifteen houses we're
founded in the United States, making
twenty-eight in this country.

The law makes an important change in this

savennah's Favorite soubret.e.

Annie PIxley will be in Savannah TO-
morrow night, in her new play ''22
Second Floor" Miss Pixley was the original
Josephine in "Pinafore," when the opera
was originally produced in Philadelphia.
Miss Pixley first attained distinction in
Australia, where she sang the leading roles
in Grand Duchess" LA Perichole,"
"Girohe-Girofa" and other familiar operas.
"The DeacOn's Daughter" her new play,
contains somewhat of the story of her own
life. Miss Pixley was born and passed her
girlhood days in Brooklyn, her parents
being people Of strict church principles and
practice, who even regarded their daugh-
ter's choir singing with S)rne disfavOr-too
much public exhibition for modest young
woman. But love for the stage was born il
her, and while still in her teens she manag ed
to join a travelling company, and her career
from that time has been full of adventure, if
meager in romance. Miss Pixley's profess
sional career is the more brilliant because
blended with it is the halo Of a happy and
spOtless private life.

the fire department, all of whom have q
knack at the business.
The new engine house has been leased for
three years by the city from Capt. f. A.
Smith, as the city was unable to renew the
lease of the building now occupied at No.

opinion, a more perfect execution than any
artist who has visited Charleston since the
appearance Of lima di Merska. The duo,
violin and Soprano, Musin and Miss Tan

one of the most wonderful artistic perform
