No. 81. MEMS SIZE ONLY.

We propose to herewith discontinue our
watch called "Elgin's PRIDE" No. 102, and
to substitute therefor watch made by the
Waltham Company, which we believe will
not be open to the objections which have
been made to the other fancy-dial watch so
extensively advertised and sold by u.s. The
hands upon the "Elgin's PrideD were i'm
ported, and great difficulty was found in
fitting them to do satisfactory work. In
our new watches these difficulties have been
obviated by the genius of American work.
men, who in all cases of competition have
proved their superiority.
The difficulties we encountered In making
up the "Elgin's Pride" have thus been OBJ
waited by the new product of the American
Waltham Watch Company. Tho hands and
dial of the new watch are made by the
methods which have proved American mo
fchanics famous in this 20 in all other
.sbranches. In the watches we offer, the
movement. also, is made by the Waltham
Watch Company. This watch will be fur
nished in same fancy engraved case as
q Elgn's Pride" The works are jeweled in
all important parts with precious stones, the
regulator is of an improved pattern; the
,hair-spring is made under Logan's great
patents; the dial is handsome beyond our
powers of description, and altogether the
watch looks like 500 time-pece, from
which nobody but an expert can distinguish
it, and that only after a most searching ex-
animation. The case is made of solid gold
In two thick plates, stiffened in between
with sheet of very strong composition
metal. Tho case guaranteed to wear like
solid gold for Is years. In every way this
watch is bound to prove one of the most
magnificent and satisfactory articles We have
yet sent out.
. This watch is the famous thin model, and
resembles the world-renowned Waltham
Riverside in all important points We
will sell this watch tosubscribsrs only, de-
livery guaranteed and prepaid, as follows:

MEDICAL HEN WANTED.
The Public Health Committee sugges-
ton 70 the City.


At meeting Of the committee on pub
lie health Of the Citizens Sanitary
Association yesterday the fol-
lowing report, submitted by DR.. J. C. Le-
Hardy medical director Of the associa-
ton. was adopted:
"Inasmuch as our city has escaped a
visitation Of yellow fever and the present
cool spell of wea her precludes the posi-
bllty Of an epidemic OF the disease dur
ing the remainder of the season among
US. the committee on public health OF the
Citizens Sanitary a Association of Sa-
vannah, feels that il is It's duty, looking
to the future, 10 suggest to the city
council the ACCESSIBILITY Of calling 20 its
ald IN matters relating 10 epidemic dis
eases such as cholera and yellow fever
etc, and contagious diseases,
such as smallpox, arlet fever etc. a
commission composed of physicians who
have acquired by their studies and eX-
perience knowledge Of the causes and the
treatment of those diseases and of the
preventive measures best calculated TO
protect the public against them.
Such = commission, not beng in
huenced by fear-nor by CONNER
cial interests nor political Influences
will be aoie 70 secure public confidence.
The city will thereby be saved much I'M
necessary expense, whilst the protection
against the Introduction of disease will
be greater If the means directed against
it are applied under the direction of ex-
perts
1t was with feelings of sorrow, mingled
with indignation, that the committee wit
messed the bungling action of those in au-
thority al the outset Of the epidemic in
Brunswick, and the manner in which the
Savannah sanitary board undertook to
protect the city OF Savannah against the
Introduction Of yellow fever this season.
The enforcement Of a quarantine of de-
tention from the l2th day of August TO
the goth day of September is longer than
the nature of the disease warrants and is
unnecessary. The indiscriminate require
ment of certificates from travelling people
is, to say the least, uncalled for The
sending of human beings, because they can
not produce certificates, to a pest house
where smallpox was rife but one year
ago, is simply barbarous.
I'VE deprecate the whole method as one
fit for the times when the first quaran-
tine regulations were enforced against
the plague at Venice in the twelfth cen
fury, and truly hope that this is the last
time Savannah can be pointed at as a ret
rogressiYe sea port

TENDERS FOR MOTOR CARS.
4 Life Saving Device That Is Being
Widely Adopted.

The Opportunity for It on the Savan-
nah Lines-It Might Have Saved
Young Barney Bluestsin's Life.
The Trouble Motormen and Con-
ductors Have With Children on the
Streets.
The trolley car accident by which
young Barney Bluestein was killed this
week suggests the adoption of car fen
der on the plan of those which are re-
quired by law in many cities. Baltimore
has law of that kind There are scores
of tenders in use throughout the country
that have proven eminently satisfactory
and saved countless lives.
A new cable car guard, invented by
Plttsburg man, is beng tested on the
Broadway line. New York. The fender
hangs from the front of the car; it may
be adjusted TO any height above the
ground, and by the means of special
springs the guard is pressed close to the
track wheneverit meets any obstruction,
thus lifting any large object and rolling
it up on the guard. This ife-saving de-
vice has an iron frame, with iron netting
stretched across it. Crawford SIP ateut
automatic Pickup Fender is its descrip-
tive title.
This same car has also a wheel guard
attached to it, which is said to make it
impossible Tor person who falls or Is
knocked down in front Of the car to fall
under the wheels. 1t is simply bar of
wood hung across the track in front of
the wheels, and fastened with springs
in such a way that is is DETECTED down
ward when it strikes Instructions.
Supt. Newell of the Broadway line,
who has had over twenty years expert
ence IN street rsilroading, considers this
wheel guard more efficient than any form
Of fender that is fastened merely to the
front of the car. In the great majority
of cases. said he, when a person is
Knocked down by cable car it is stopped
before the wheels can reach him. | think
1t is better to attach no fender to the dash
board and to clear all projections possible
from under the platform. The victim
would not then be in danger of being
mangled until the wheels reached him
A good wheel guard would probably do
but little injury. On the other hand,
any kind of platform or dashboard
fender is bound TO hurt more or less the
person with whom it comes in contact"
With its extensive system Of street
lines, every now and then some one
usually child, is run over and injured in
some way. A number have been killed
The greatest danger is in the squares
where the children play. Usually it is
their own fault that accidents of this kind
occur. A conductor who has been running
on one of the Old lines here for twelve
years was asked the other day, just as
his car passed a group OF mischievous boys
VINO caught at the platform as it passed,
How is it that more are not run Overt"
Il can't tell you" he replied. II am in
fear all the time of running over some of
them. We have to look out on every side,
and if we do run over one the blame is
always laid to US.

AT THE THEATER.
''Zeb' Makes a Laugh for a Theater
Full of People.

Harry Hardy's company of curious
country comedians held the boards at the
theater last night in skit entitled "Zeb. -
The play is a mixture of mirth, mingled
with many amusing situations 1t pleases
the audience and furnishes entertainment
for the pit.
The principal features are the special
ties of Miss Rose Melville, VINO enacts
the part of t'Teenie, the pet of the farm,
Christina Ainsworth," the heiress,
and an excellent character per-
sOnation of isis Hopkins" an
ignorant, gawky country girl The lanky
propensities Of G. B. Gillingwater, as he
appears as Deacon Eldridge," would
make him a success without an effort at
acting. He is an amusing character
John T. Hanson as "Zeb, !" the hero, sus-
tanned his character in manner fitting
the requirements. Miss Kathryn Evans,
as Hannah Sanders" a fieshy old maid
added to the amusement by her associ-
alton and contrast to the tall and lean
deacon.
The moving sidewalk and the beautiful
scenes of the principal buildings at the
worlds fair contributed largely to the
entertaining features of the programme.

Pound on the Floor in Her House by
the Ice Man.


Madam Smith, Of fame as fortune tell
er and as a reader Of the future, was
found dead in a room at her house, No.
1872 state street yesterday morning. She
was discovered by the driver OF the ice
wagon, who had come to bring her daily
supply Of ice Acting Coroner Naughtin
was notified and made an eEamlua non. he
body was found lying on the face. several
feet from the sofa To all appearances
the woman had gotten up from the sofa
and started for the door when she fell
dead Judge Naughtin looked at the
body TO see If there was any evidence OF
foul play, and finding none whatever he
gave a certificate of death from heart
failure. No inquest was held.
In fact her death can hardly be ac-
counted for in any other way. She had
been ailing for some time, and had not
been IN her usual good spirits for two or
three months She was seen tine night
before her death by some OF her neigh
bOrs as late as 10 30 o'clock, and was APP
parently all right.
Madam Smith is well known around
the city She had lived the greater part
Of her life here. For years she had been
a fortune teller by profession, pretending
to read the hidden mysteries OF the
future by the manipulation of cards. In
that way she had become quite famous.
She was formerly Miss Blance.
She was 80 years of age and has two chill
Creu living, a son now in Chicago, and a
daughter living in Jacksonville. Both were
notified Of her death aud her body was
given in charge by the coroner TO her
brother, J. G. Blance, who lives in the city
She asked a friend several days ago TO
draw up her will, saying she wanted to
leave what little she had to her son. But
the will was never drawn. Her pug dog
was her most devoted friend, and when he
was run out of the room where the body
lay he howled until he was allowed TO
return. The hodv viii be hurried to-daV.
