1890 Morrison 2nd Electric Car Known

William Morrison of Des Moines, IO built the second electric car in North America in 1890, an 8-seater, and produced electric cars commercially until 1896. Morrison was reputedly a quiet, mysterious man. He was educated in a Scottish university and by the time he arrived in Iowa he had become a vegetarian, a chemist and a man intensely interested in electricity. The creation of an automobile was of little concern to him in building this vehicle; rather, he wished to prove the worth of his storage batteries.
In the summer of 1890 Morrison began installing batteries in a surrey-type, high-wheel carriage. It was a stock model with fringed canopy top and three rows of cushioned seats able to accommodate 12 passengers. A set of eight batteries was placed under each seat. The power was applied through a modified Siemens armature geared direct to the right rear wheel. Around 2-1/2 h.p., sufficient to drive the carriage 6 to 7 mph, could be developed. The vehicle ran on the streets of Des Moines in September 1890 and in 1891 was given to the American Battery Company of Chicago for demonstration purposes.
Harold Sturgis, secretary of the Chicago concern, showed the carriage extensively and it became the most widely known self-propelled vehicle in America. In 1895 Sturgis installed a different motor in Morrison's electric and entered it in the Times-Herald race.

BACKGROUND NOTES ON ONE OF THE EXPOSITION'S DIRECTORS
James W. Ellsworth
Submitted by Randall Ellsworth

The James W. Ellsworth Collection (WCE/JWE), held in the Chicago Public Library's Special Collections & Preservation Division, contains a wide variety of records relating to one of the most significant events in Chicago history, the World's Columbian Exposition (WCE) of 1893. The collection consists primarily of incoming and outgoing correspondence generated by James W. Ellsworth, a member of the WCE Board of Directors. Additionally, the collection includes WCE departmental reports and correspondence and ephemeral items such as tickets, invitations and programs that Ellsworth collected during his involvement with the Exposition. Together, these materials document the 1893 World's Fair from its planning stages in the late 1880's to its conclusion in 1893, and the subsequent development of the South Parks and the Field Columbian Museum.James W. Ellsworth, a successful businessman with dealings both in Chicago and New York, was initially reluctant to participate in the development of a World's Fair in Chicago. After he learned that the planners of the Fair envisioned an international exposition rather than a localized "county fair," Ellsworth directed all his energies toward the successful development of the "Dream City." James Ellsworth's contributions to the Exposition ranged from working with the nation's railroad companies to raise capital, purchasing the Lorenzo Lotto portrait of Columbus, participating on the WCE Board of Directors and the Committees on Liberal Arts and Music, and securing the loan of great European artwork for display in the Exposition's Palace of Fine Arts (now the Museum of Science and Industry).

But, just prior to that, in 1891, another significant mark of Chicago's coming-of-age in culture and wealth was the arrival of the its first Gutenberg Bible. It was the second copy of the Gutenberg Bible to reach American shores, and James W. Ellsworth bought it at auction for $14,800. One wonders if it was that acquisition more than anything else which propelled Ellsworth to be elected the first president of The Caxton Club when it was founded in 1895. Did that make him first among equals? (The Ellsworth copy of the Bible is now at Princeton University Library).
Daniel Burnham's ideas for the lakefront reflected his belief, developed by the fair, in the value of thinking big. Working with his associate Charles Atwood, who had been responsible for the Fine Arts Building and numerous other structures at the fair, Burnham combined a new design for the Lake Park with a plan to link it to Jackson Park. Encouraging Burnham was businessman James W. Ellsworth, who had been on the fair's Board of Directors. Ellsworth was currently head of the South Parks Commission, which included Jackson Park and, by 1901, the newly named Grant Park. During the spring of 1896, Burnham shared some of his ideas with Ellsworth and his fellow commissioners. In July he invited Ellsworth, several commissioners, Mayor George Swift, and others to his office for a formal presentation. This was followed by more meetings and then an after-dinner speech on October 10 in Ellsworth's home. This occasion was attended by such luminaries as Marshall Field and George Pullman, and it was reported on the front page of the Chicago Tribune the next day.
On October 12 the paper published an editorial praising the scale of Burnham's proposals, the "taste and skill" of their conception, and the "eloquent manner" with which he advanced them. The Tribune also commended Burnham's "public spirit and undaunted faith in the future of Chicago." Like the fair, the Tribune said, this new plan demonstrated Burnham's "originality, daring, and genius," which were so aptly representative of Chicago, though the editorial ended on a more cautious note in advising that "this grand scheme involves so much work, thought, money, and originality that it should not be entered upon with haste." The City Council soon passed an ordinance entrusting the lakefront and improvements to the South Park commissioners, but Ellsworth stated that nothing could be done until the state legislature authorized funding. Burnham continued to press his plan in talks before other organizations, among these the Commercial and Merchants Clubs.
