The transition from long lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in The life of the individ-
ual. Such a remarkable event is treas
ured in memory and the agency whereby
the good health nss been attained is
gratefully blessed. Hence it is that so
much is heard in praise of Electric Bit
tiers. So many feel they owe their res-
toration to health. to the use of the great
Alternative and tonic. If you are troubled
with any disease of kidneys. liver or
stomach, of long or short standing you
will surely find relief by use of Electric
Bitters. Sold at SOC and 81 per bottle

ther Trouble in the Future.
PITTsBURG, Pa, April 14-Brig Gen.
Wiley, who was in this city Sunday, is by
no means confident that all trouble in the
coke regions is at end. Bloodshed and
violence, he is quite sure, will result if
the troops are withdrawn. Therefore he
thinks the soldiers may expect long
siege in the mountains. The general said:
There are several thousand men in the
coke regions who are anxious to go to
work, but who fear to do So
Would Make Their Lives Burden.
They are not afraid of personal violence
while under the protection of a guard, but
fear that their homes would not be safe,
Therefore they remain idle, though hun
ger and want cause great suffering among
them. They are assured of protection,
but they know what they would be sub
jected to besides violence They would
be annoyed until their lives become a
burden"

SOME WATER WO ks FIGURES

CONCERNING Water Consumption, the
Cost Of " alter AID other Statistics.
As the water works subject is a live one
Just now, the following figures, collected by
the census department, of the water works
Of all the large cities, may be of some in-
terest.
The actual per capita consumption, which,
it hes been urged in arguments upon the
water supply question as sufficient for all
practical purposes is thirty gallons daily.
The figures show that in none of the larger
cit es Is the per capita consumption under
twice this amount.
Estimating the present water supply of
Savannah at 5,000,0 gallons, and the con-
suIners at about 10000, the total consump-
ton per capita in Savannah would be about
Fps gallons.
Tle comparison shows this to be large
consumption, but not nearly SO large as in
other larger cities. Estimating 100 gallons
per capita as an ample daily supply the
new water works with their estimated ca
pecity of 10 100000 TO 12,OOO,00O gallons
should furnish sufficient water for city of
100000 population.
AS regards water works. the largest reser-
voirS are in New York. The average total
daily consumption Is greatest in Phila-
delphia. The daily consumption per head
or populatlon Is greatest in Buffalo, where
it is 1876 gallons, and next greatest IL WASH
ingtOn, where it is III gallons. The daily
consumption per head is "a gallons in New
York, 81 gallons in Chicago, Iii gallons i'll
Philadelphia, 81 gallons in Brooklyn, II gall
Ions in st. Louis and SO gallons in Boston.
sePhiladelphia leads as res poets the number
of miles of mains, with Chicago second,
New York third, and Boston fourth. New
York leads as regards the number of hy-
drants and the number Of meters, and Phila-
delphia as respects the number of taps. The
total cost of the water works is greatest in
New York, where it is $40 100000 Next
como Boston with S22, 129. 255, Philadelphia
with $lS, 500,0 600, Brooklyn with SIS, 4S5, $40,
San Franciscp with $4,000, 600, Chicago
with Sl3, PA, 664, Baltimore with $40, 10O.-
900 and 1T. l. )uis with So, l50 726.
The annual charge for water for an aver
age dwelling is greatest in Dallas, Tex,
where it is $3l, and least in Washington,
where it was 81 80. The charges In the X
largest cities we're as follows: New York
S., Chi ago S14, Philadelphia 80, Brooklyn
IS, st. Louis $l4, and Boston Sl2.
The water works of one city, Washing
ton, are owned by the national government,
while the water works of fourteen cities
are owned by private parties. The average
cost Of the works per heal of population
was sci 35 IN the case of water works owned
by the cities, aud SS1 20 in the case of works
owned by private parties.

TALKS WITH PIANO BUYERS
No. z.


Until the year 1882 the house of Mos,u
az Hamlln had been known simply nc III
greatest in the realm of organ buiIdino
The Mason d Hamlin reed organ being rs
criterion of excellence the world over a.
the time named. they decided to 90 int a.
making OF pianos, and with characteristio
enterprise and Judgment produced -,
once what has been demonstrated to ha ~
greatest Improvement in the piano FORT
since the invention Of the iron frame "
This great feature is the entire and ra5i
cal chenge IN tho method of stringinp. thu,
is, OF fastening the wires to the frame ~
the piano. VI
The old system. which is the one in GA,
eral use, consisted of an Iron peg driven inf,
wooden block or wrest plank tho -
being twisted around the peg or Din. whicf
is turned back and forth in the wood n ~
crease or decrease the tension Of the strir-.
thus raising or lowering the tone. In sai5a,
OF the most skillful construction this 10
never been an entirely satisfactory meta
OF strlnglng, and nine tenths of the annoy
ance caused by the failure to stand in I'M =
and exasperatipg breaking of strings arc
owing to the faults OF this manner of fss.'
ening the wires.
Like SO many great inventions, the Mason
d Hamlin stringer is so simple as to ewcita
wonder at its not having been sooner de
covered. 1t is simple screw device hv
which the string is fastened directIy TO ~,
iron frame. By this means the i6,,ne,, ,sa
strain of the wires is placed lUhere it mos
erty belongs, upon the only part of thu r.
strument which can successfully resist tho
tension. The consequence is that the Mason
q Hamlin piano stands in tune perfectIv
for great length Of time, and broken
strings are almost unknown.
The makers of this instrument we-o not
content with the introduction of a me~e
mechanical improvement, however irnortU
ant. They Immediately set about proi,,c.
ing an instrument that should be of tho
highest musical excellence, and 50 well have
they succeeded that any maker IN fbe
i0ortd might be proud of their present
pianos.
Within the past few weeks four M. &,E
grands and ten uprights have been sold to
the Chicago Conservatory of Music. one OF
the leading music schools Of the world. a9d
they are constantly growing in favor with
the musical public. IL will be remembered
that William II. Sherwood used the Mason
q Hamlin on his last winter's tour through
the south.

be reported back TO the council.
WANTED THE COUNCIL TO ACT.
Alderman Cam. chairman of the water
committee, amended by striking out the
words tits Communications, )" because, he
said. he DOESN'T feel like making recon-
mendations and then having council reject
them. He preferred having the committee
investigate the bids, simplify matters and
then let the council as a whole award the
contract.
Alderman Myers thought the proper
course would be to refer the bids to the
committee of the whole. AS a member of
the water committee he felt chat if it were
to investigate it ought also to have the
right to recommend.
The amended motion was adopted with
but one dissenting vote, that Of Alderman
Myers. The council then took a recess SUBJ

FIGHTING THE OYSTER LAW.

Mr.. Desvergers Doing What He Can to
Get New Bill Introduced.
M. j. Desvergers is still in Atlanta, unless
he is now on his way home, fighting the
oyster law and endeavoring to have the
bill as recently passed amended so as to
nullify the Objectionable features of the
recent bill and incorporate the idea of
establishing the natural beds by local au~
thority instead OF by brakes survey.
Mr.. DesvergerS is making strenuous efforts
to have bill introduced to amend the law
as desired, but he does not seem to be meet
ing with much encouragement from the
members from Chatham. Maj. Ryals will
not introduce any such bill, he says, and
Messrs. Clifton and Hartridge are hands
off, SO II the bill is introduced Mr.. Desver-
gers will probably have to get member
from some other county to do it.
The oyster people here were counting
upon Mr.. Clifton to champion their cause
but 1t seems they were mistaken.
