ELECTRICITY IN SAVANNAH.
It's Progress Since the First Light Was
Introduced

H.has been only about twelve wears
since the first electric arc light was intro
duced in Savannah, and this light was
operated by the Savannah Electric Light
Company, which was Incorporated in
1881
twas stationed at Bull and Broughton
streets and the power was furnished by a
dynamo which was operated in BroughtOn
street lane. The first electric light used
IN house in Savannah was Brush arc
light used IN the MORNING News office
The dynamo was run by the same engine
that ran the press, but for lighting pur-
poses this was found somewhat unsa It's
factory. This light was introduced about
the time the first arc light appeared on
the streets.
Savannah was among the first cities in
the country to use electricity as n means
of lighting, and the MORNING News was
the first to operate private plant. The
Savannah Electric Light Company oper-
atcd an arc dynamo of the United States
Electric Company, which it Operat ed I'M
TIL lsS3, when the company was bought
out by the Brush Electric Light and
Power Company which at present oper-
ates nine arc dynamOs with total capac-
ity of $50 lamps, and five Westinghouse
dynamOs, which can supply 4,500 uncan-
descent lamps.
in 1882 the Brush Electric Light and
Power Company was Incorporated, and in
1888 twelve towers were put up for the
purpose Of lighting the city Instead of
doing this, they lighted up the sky. the
thick foliage being almost impenetrable
in some places to "A light at such dis
lance, The consequence was these tow
ers were taken down in 1890, with the ex-
ception of one, and single lights were put
up instead This company has had the
contract for lighting the city since 1888.
and they now supply 410 arc lights and
$500 incandesCent lamps. The company
uses the Thomson Houston arc lamps,
the Brush light having been discarded
some time ago.
They are making preparations now to
increase the capacity of their plant by
compromising their large Buckeye engines
which will increase the horse power of
the plant to 5000, and a new arc dynamo
will also be put i'll.
The first inventor of the electric light
was Sir Humphrey Davy, who in the early
part of the century produced an arc light
with battery of 1000 cells. For a num-
Der of years the arc lamp was undergoing
its experimental stage, and vari-
Gus types of it were exhibited
at the Paris exhibition IN 1855 and also at
the Centennial in this country in 1875.
The first practical arc lighting system,
however, was invented in 1876 by Charles
f. Brush Of Cleveland, o. This, lamp,
while 1t was at one time the best, has not
kept up with late improvements, and the
consequence is very few of them are now
in use.

Happy over savannah's Victory.

The base ball enthusiasts of Savannah
were happy yesterday afternoon that Sa-
vannah had again defeated Atlanta and
broke even with the Windy city club
The defeats of the locals in the two pre-
vious contests rather dampened some OF
the enthusiasm little, but yesterday
victory renewed it. About 500 specta,
tors, a large number of whom were
ladies, attended Ebbs' matinee at the
theater.
Another crowd watched the game at
Phil Fitzpatrick's Owl saloon. He has the
same diamond detail arrangement as the
theater and an operator to call out the
plays. Besides he receives the account
by innings from all the Southern League
games with the names of the batteries.
and next week he will have the National
League games also reported by innings
To-day Savannah will play Augusta,
and Manning and McGarr are going to
work hard to down the Fountain city
kickers on theiro own grounds.

The Little Children's Home.

Editor Morning News: The ladies who
managed the Minnie mission have formed
themselves into a society, to be called the
Little Childrens home, to carry on the
good work begun by the mission This
society will be incorporated. and, it is
needless to state, will, under the control
of good women, perform it's noble, non
SCctarian work to the satisfaction Of our
people. The society has appealed to the
corporate authorities of the county and
city for aid II is necessary to rent
house, equip it, provide the necessary
service, etc, all of which requires pres
Cnt money. Several charitable persons
have Indicated that they will subscribe
certain sums per annum toward the main
tenance of the home. These assurances and
the kindly expressions on the subject
have encouraged the ladies in charge
of the movement to go on with it. To
bring the matter to a practical result
respectfully suggest that you start list
of those who will agree TO give to the
home for, say period of five years, GER
tain sums of money, to be named by them,
and to be paid annually. as called in by
the managing body. l believe that in this
way quite a large sum of money could be
guaranteed to these ladies for said period,
which, with the assistance granted by the
county and city authorities, would enable
them to put the institution firmly on its
feet ! am informed that this will be the
only institution in the city where children
of both sexes, under years of age. arc
taken in and cared for. The mere state
mCnt of this matter is Il sufficient appeal
to our citizens for the necessary aid.

TERRIBLY INCREASING
The Authorities of the Board OF Health
Give Some Important Information About
the Present Condition of the People.

At no time in the history OF New York city
have there been so many deaths from pneu-
monia as now. The official figures show that
nearly twice as many deaths from this cause
are occurring than for the last i've years.
This is something terrible.
DR. John T. Maggie, registrar of vital stats
ties. says that this increase is due to the in
luence OF grip He says that grip may be
called epidemic just now, and that in the ma
jority Of cases grip is a vital. contributing
cause TO pneumonia and all dangerous pull
monary troubles. At this time OF the year
when we are changing over from winter to
spring. there is always low order Of vitality:
u reaction from the strains of the season. The
blood does not flow so full nor rapidly; the
strength is less. For this reason grip has a
much better chance than at any other season.
This is a time of year when people need to
be careful and too much Importance cannot
be placed upon keeping the blood warm and
in circulation. You must bring about re-
action II YOU wish to avoid the pain and dan
gers of these troubles in time. There is but
one way by which n reaction can he brought
about and that is by the use of a pure stimu-
liant preferably whiSkey. But the great DIM
Guilty is that there are few whiskeYS which are
pure The only really pure and reliable
whiSkeY known to the medical profession Of
Che world is DuiTy'S Pure Malt. It possesses
qualities known only to itself. II will bring
about reaction and prevent cold, pneumonia
or the grip where many so-called StimulautS
would fail. 1t has saved more lives ana re
lioved more suffering than anything OF q SINH
lar nature which was ever known before to
the world.
