Editors Musical Courier: GENTLEMEN
In answer to your circular letter of the
2Sd inst, we will say to you that the num-
Der of new Steipway Square Pianos in
stock has been reduced to four instruments.
and, as stated to you one year ago, the
manufacture of Square Pianos has been en-
tirely discontinued by US.
The number of Upright Pianos made and
sold during 1889 is only per cent. larger
than in the previous year.
There is again a heavy increase in the
number of Grand Pianos this year over the
year 1888, having this last day of the year
1889 reached the Unprecedented figure of
1920 Grand Pianos of the Different STYLES
and sizes for g year just past, with large
number of untitled orders, and consequent
loss of sales even at retail for not having
them. The year closes without our having
II single Parlor Grand on hand for sale. we
have completed arrangements largely to in
crease our production Of Grand Pianos.
Respectfully yours,

This proves conclusively the extraordi-
nary demand and immense popularity of
the SteiRlUGy Pianos.

TWENTY-FIVE MILES OF WIRE.
Getting Ready TO Turn on Electric
Light in 200 Street Lamps.

Getting Ready TO Turn on Electric
Lie ht in 200 Street Lamps.
The Brush Electric Light and Power
Company is pushing the work 70 get the
new plant ready for increasing the street
service. Supt. Keck. in an interview with
a MORNING NEWS reporter yesterday, said
that two corps of men are at work, one Of
which is barking the poles at the railroad
yards, and the other gang is putting the
poles up. The poles are OF black cypress,
and vary in length from thirty to fifty feet.
Supt. Keck says it will take about twenty
five miles Of wire for the entire city, ten miles
Of which were ordered yesterday. The wire
used is what is known as the Okonite in
sulated wire, No. g. American gauge, and
is said to have a reputation as a standard
wire which can be handled without danger
of elect ic shock.
The city is divided into what are technic-
ally called "loops" by the electric company.
The first loop, which includes all that part
Of the city lying south of CASTOR street, is
now having the poles put up in it, and it
will require eight miles Of wire and fifty
lights. The second loop, from Liberty to
Castor, will take fifty lights, and the poles
will be put up in this loop when the work Of
putting up the poles and attaching the
wires has beel completed in loop No. l,
and when ali is ready south of Liberty the
lights will be turned on in the first and
second loops, and it is expected that this
will be done during the first moon in
February.
The third and fourth loops, which en-
brace the rest of the city, will take 100
lights, and as Supt Kecx says there is not
50 much construction work in the city
north of Liberty street, he thinks it ought
TO be ready to have the lamps turned on in
less than a month from the time the city
south of Liberty street is lighted.
The manner OF locating the lights will
not be uniform. Some of the lamps will be
suspended, some will be on poles on the
corners Of the streets, and in other instances,
where the streets are wide. the lamp posts
will be in the center of the streets, the idea
being to get the best results in the location
of lamps.
The towers will not be taken down for
awhile, as it may be deemed necessary to
continue some of the lights on the towers
Two 50-light dynamos and 100 lamps have
been received, and the third dynamo and set
Of fifty lights will be shipped from Boston
this week. One of tne dYnamos now in
use will be put in the street service, and the
fifty lamps are on hand which this dynamo
will serve. The other dynamos now in use
will be utilized for commercial Ii shuing.

THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
DR.. Oemler's Interesting Sketch OF
Abbott, the Naturalist.


Abbott, the Naturalist.
The January meeting Of the Georgia
Historical Society was held last night at
Hodgson hall. A biographical sketch of
Abbott, the naturalist, who lived in the
last century, and whose productions are
preserved in the British museum, was read
by DR.. A. Oemler. The sketch was taken
from Prof Summers life Of the naturalist.
Abbott lived for long time in Scriven
county, where he taught school 1t was
there that some Of his most valuable
sketches of insects were produced. Dr.
Oemler presented, along with the biography,
a copy of portrait of Abbott, executed by
himself. 1t represents the naturalist
in Georgia suit Of striped cotton.
Some of Abbott's sketches of wild fowl
are still in possession OF Mrs. J. d. Hop
kins of this city. 1t is said that some of
his most beautiful sketches of insects are
now understandable by the society or people
in Georgia. DR.. Oemler has acquaintance
who knew Abbott as a teacher. Abbott,
after having come over to America,
and after remaining for some time returned
to the country of his birth, where the most
of his sketches were obtained by the mu-
seums.
Among the other business of the meeting
was a report by a special committee point
ing out the necessity of a reconstruction of
the old committee on members, which report
was unanimously adopted, and it is pre-
sunIed that at the next meeting the COM
NIT tee will be constituted.
Twenty-Five or thirty books were ordered
purchased by the society. The report OF
the library committee showed a large in
crea se in the number of books. At the
next meeting officers will be elected for

The Modern Comedy Of Errors. "

Annie Pixley, who is one of Savannah
theater-goers' greatest favorites, will be at
the theater tonight. The Cleveland Plain
Dealer says of her new play: " '22, Second

Flora Featherstone' is a hght-hearted
actress of the London Frivolity. The
amusing situations that grow out of the
mistakes made as to the identity of the
actress and the society lady need not be de-
scribed. The fact that they look exactly
alike, and that there need be no attempt at
concealment makes the dual role an easy
one to portray, and Miss Pixley in the dual
role is simply irresistible" The large sale Of
seats for Miss Pixley's performance is the
best evidence of her popularity with Sa-

T. s. Roberts, one Of the most genial

country once year, after three or four
days pleasantly spent in Savannah, will
leave this morning for Pensacola, Fla. Mr..
Roberts, who travels for big cutlery house

he relates some amusing anecdotes of his
travels. To a group of friends in the Pu-
laski house last night he related one anecdote
at the expense of a colored hotel porter in a
Texas city.
In addition to two big trunks and as
many weighty valises, he usually carries
some articles of cutlery in every pocket.
In the Texas city the porter carried the two
valises from the street car to the depot,
only short distance, and when asked what
was his bill, said, 1.-TWO dollars, boss"
But that's too much replied Roberts.
