ment that Ensign M.W. Hall OF the New
port naval reserves had resigned, created
quite surprise in miiltary circles yester-
oay. lie stated that the troubles In the
company is not the cause of his resign

from his business. Ensign Hall has been
in the company since its organization,
and despite the adverse criticism ana OPP
position to him. has taken great pride
in the cor pany and has done much good
Tor the men, though they may not see 1t
until later. He has an excellent know
ledge OF torpedo warfare aud naval mat
ters. The question which now is causing
much speculation Is whether Ensign
Child will be restored to the command.

President ANDRE ws OF Brown Univer-
sity, in an argument for granting fran
chises for a fixed term of reasonable
number OF years TO our semi-public cor
porations, pointed out the plain business
fact that the interests of the pubic for
the occurring of the best service at the
lowest rates from such corporations could
only be conserved by extending TO them
the protection of such franchise.
There bad already been experience
enough to justify the views of President
ANDREWS. II the proposition was per-
fectly clear, the public asks of capital
lists TO install elaborate plants calling for
on in vestment OF hundreds OF thousands
OF dollars and thus holds over their
heads some such provision as used to
figure In all log islation governing these
scmi-public corporations that not only is
competition open, threats OF competition
possible, and that an entire plant may
he ordered out OF town at ninety days
notice, the inevitable result is poor SER
vice and exorbitant charges. In word,
if capital and enterprise are tempted to
enter the field at all, they will only
come in to make as big a stake as pos
sible ana to make it as quickly as
possible--in a word, to make hay
while the sun shines, or to make as large
profits as possible in order to combat
competition without sacrificing dividends
aud TO keep themselves secure in the field.
The Providence Telephone Company to-
day exists subject to niucty-day sword
cure it. The Gas Company, the trolley cor
roration and the electric company enjoy
franchises and everyone OF them is Civ
iug practical testimony to the truth Of
President ANDREWS exposition of busi-
ness principles. Our gas service has been
vastly increased within few years, and
repeated reductions in price have been
made. The franchise has enabled the
trolley corporation to establish with
marvellous rapidity its splendid plant and
service with uninterrupted progress to-
ward better service that has
never beer threatened until the politi-
clans got after the corporation
last fall. Today we have a striking ex-
ample of the principle that President AN
DREws elucidated in the reductions made
in the charges for electric lighting. The
Narragansett Electric Lighting Company,
under the security of their franchise,
having been enabled to set up what is
acknowledged to be the best equipped
plant in the country, now finds itself
able to secure its charges and fair busi-
ness profit and at the same time furnish
light to the consumers at a rate lower than,
we believe, is available anywhere in the
country.
For purposes OF comparison herewith
we print the schedule of discounts on in
candescent lighting generally in use
throughout the country:

Evans ought to make a big hit
with the performance he is now
giving at the Japanese theatre.
The juggling is excellent, the
sleight of hand feats are remark
ably well executed and the fire
eating trick is marvellous. One
feature, which marred the former
acrobatic show. has been ellmin-
ated, viz: there are no more long
waits between the acts. The
theatre was fairly well filed the
past two nights. No one should
miss seeing the prestidigitateurs
once, at least. Another perform
ance will be given on Saturday
evening.
