To Have am Electrical Inspector.
Alderman Haas ordinance, creating the
office of electric inspector for the city, the
duties of which are 10 be performed by the
fire superintendent or some competent
person designated by him, was passed, aft
er some discussion, with slight amend
ments offered by Mr.. Haas Alderman
Thomas offered the criticism that the fire
superintendent is not an electrician and
that such an office, if created. should be
filled by an expert electrician TO be deslg-
mated by Council, and who should be re-
qulred to give a suitable bond TO save the
city from loss in case of damage By errors
on his part. Alderman Haas replied that
the city had a competent man in its en-
ploy, who is now engaged in euperintend-
ing the wires of the police and fire de
partmeuts. and whom, he said, hasl ample
time to attend TO this work.
The ordinance is only in the nature of
an experiment" said Alderman Haas. If
it should result that the fees from in
spections should be sufficient TO pay a
first-class electrician, Council Will doubt
less make provision for a separate office
The ordnance was adopted, after being
read by sections Alderman Thomas vot-
ing in the negative. 1t provides for in
spection of all electrical construction and
the fees TO be charged for such inspections
and adopts the national code of rules and
regulations for electric wiring for the
guidance of the inspector.

The first of the winter crop of peripa-
tetic organ grinders and the inevitable
monkey made their appearance on CASTOR
street yesterday, and attracted a crowd Of
youngsters from near and far. They wan
dered slowly up the street, stopping at
every house, where the monkey went
dancing, and turning somersaults, and al
ways ending by handing his cap for the
pennies that invariably rewarded his eff
forts.
A horse and cab belonging to Louis

Miles & Bradt. who also had the contract
for the government building, the contract
providing that the work to be completed
in sections extending over period of
years, the city to pay cash for the work.
1t may be that The decision of the SUI
preme Court referred 10 by Miles & Bradt
is one to the effect that municipal gov
eminent cannot make contracts binding
upon its successors, though this decision
has never been regarded as affecting the
many contracts of this character made by
the city. At any rate, as Messrs. Miles &
Bradt were paid promptly al the end of
each month for the work done they stood
little chance to lose anything, even should
this point have been raised against them.
1t was the desire of Council to push the
house drainage work rapidly this winter,
and the abandonment of the contract by
Miles & Bradt not only interferes with
the citys plans but is likely to be the
subject of future litigation.

Savannah.

seventh Day AdveRtists Coming to
savannah.
Rev Arthur W. Bartlett is in Savannah
to establish a Church of Seventh Day Ad-
ventists He will begin meetings at
Yonges Hall next Sunday, preaching two
sermons every Sunday. So far as known,
there are none of the faith in Savannah,
and the pastor of the proposed church be
gins his missionary work in a field I'M
trodden by Advenists. His sermons for
the next two months will be as follows:
Oct. Pill a M, THE Books and Pro-
phecies of Daniel and Revelations" 8 p.
M, "The Great Image of Nebuchadnez-
Ears Dream and the End of the World"
Oct. ell a. M, The Great Vision of
Daniel and the Coming of Christi p.
M, 1.-The Signs of the Times Indicating
the Personal Coming of Christ at Hand"
Nov. 5-11 a. M, Christ, His Deity and
Persistence" s p. M, The Great Pro
phecy of Revelation, Thirteenth Chapter"
Nov. FL a. m, THE Great Salvation
of God by Grace" .. m, "The Failing
of the Stars as a Sign of Christ's Adj
vent"
In his announcement the Rev. Bartlett
says: Everybody welcome. Seats free,
No collections. Neither the raising Of
money for the pastor and his work by
church fairs, sOciables, bazaars or enter
tainments. Tie pastor has no salary or
certain support from man. but the pastor
shall trust God for his living"
There are about 10000 Seventh Day Ad-
ventists in the United States, Rev. Bart
lett says. The church. therefore, Is not
numerically strong. There is church in
Atlanta and a branch publishing house.
The church does a great part of it's work
through its publications. So far as
known, no attempt has ever been made
to establish a church in Savannah.

"THE TURTLE" DISAPPOINTING
Many People Found 1t was Not what
They Expected TO See.


Those ladies who went to see 1.-THE Tur-
tie" last night must have felt lonesome,
but there is no particular reason why they
should have been offended. There were
snatches OF dialogue in the play that were
sugges tive-some of them extremely So
but the disrobing act which had been
spoken of and written of as something so
very naughty was absolutely decorous. 1t
was not a whit more suggestive than the
scene of the same kind in Fra Diavalo, "
perhaps il was more tame.
There is no doubt thai 1.-The Turtle"
was a disappointment. First, because it
was not so risque as was expected and
then again, because it was not so good a
show as was looked for. was not near
ly SO good a farce as mile. ri FL" though
il PLAYED to twice as big a house, and the
moral in this seems to be that Snowman
who wants to get a big house all he has to
do is to feature his play as something
particularly naughty.
Miss Lynden, who portrayed the role of
Leonie was beautiful and played her part
in an entirely acceptable manner There
was something refined about her manner
that added much to her portrayal. Mr..
Gibbs was a good Adolphe, and Mr. Nc
Cready made an amusing Briquet His
appearance was funny and he looked more
the turtle than the turtle himself. Mr..
Terriss. as Champalier styled '"The TuT-
tie" because he was so slow, was aptiy
named. though it might have been stick. "
