And the Officials and Holders,of Stocks and
Bonds of Gas and, Electric Light
Companies Of Massachusetts:

, 4 hearing will be given on Monday
Feb 7th, at II a. M, at the office OF the
Board of Gas and. Electric Light Com
missioners, on the petition filed by
Henry NJ. Awhitney,:: President Of the
Observation-Disclosures Line. Gas Company
praying for the approval Of the issue Of
100000 of stock.
As the result of this hearing is OF
great importance to the gas consumers
Of Boston. the officers and directors OF
gas and electric light companies no"
existing by authority Of the State, and
the holders of stocks and bonds OF such
gas and electric light companies, it is for
their interests to attend or be repre-
sented at!this hearing.
llAll consumers of gas in the City OF
Boston believe that the price which they
now nav for gas is based upon the actual
cost of Manufacture, plus fair dividends
and.interest on the capital now employed
by companies now in existence, and
that in the future the price OF gas will be
reduced as the increased: consumption
and improved methods OF manufacture
reduce-the cost.
They believe the laws of the state and
the rules and regulations OF the Board
of Gas and Electric Light Commissioners
absolutely prevents the creation OF new
stocks or bonds, or the initiation Of those
now existing, beyond an amount needed
for increased. consumption.
The officers and directors Of gas and
electric light companies now existing by
authority of the States believe that it is
impossible for new companies to create
stocks and bonds without that permis-
sion of the Commonwealth which they
have very properly been compelled to Sc
cure before creating any Of the securities
now in existence, and the investors all
over the United States who hold stocks
and bonds in gas and electric light com
panics doing business under the laws Of
the State of Massachusetts believe that
any stocks or bonds OF gas and electric
light companies issued under the laws Of
Massachusetts carry guarantee of safety
because their creation was supervised
and regulated by tie officials OF the
State under a system OF laws impossible
of infringement and existing in..no other
State in the Union.
The result of this hearing will prove
whether the belief OF the three classes
mentioned is well founded or not

kind of gas which could be sold to the
citizens of Boston at price much less
than that Of any gas manufactured by
any existing gas company. One OF the
laws which this company agreed should
govern the issuance of its stock was that
the Board of Gas and Electric Light
Commissioners should pass upon the
necessity and ,advisability of allowing
the issuance OF part or the whole of the
81 100000 capital prior to its issuance.
One of the heretofore unaltcrable GUS
toms or rules of the Board of Gas and
Electric Light Commissioners has been
that upon the application Of gas or
electric light company for the issuance
of new stock, there should be given a
public hearing that all interested could
know of the advisability OF tuch issue
and enter protest prior to the issuance,
and never since the existence Of the Board
Of Gas and Electric Light Commits
siOners has there been gas or electric
light company bold enough to evade
this test. The Massachusetts, Pipe Line
Gas Company has issued its 81 ,OOOOO Of
capital stock without the authority Of
the Board uf Gas and Electric Ligh,
Commissioners or any other supervisor!
arm of the State, and has issued it with.
out even requesting the Board Of Gas
and Electric Light Commissioners to pass
upon it, andLhas used the stock SO issued
as the basis for IA contract with the seven
gas companies Of Boston, whereby for so
years all authority has been taken out Of
the hands Of the Board Of Gas and E!cc-
trio Light Commissioners to regulate the
price of gas to consumer, and has furtl er
used the stock. SO issued as the basis for
an illegal gas comranyI or association
which has issued $35,0OO,OOO of stock
and bonds without the permission Of the
Board of Gas and Electric Light Com
missioncrs or any other authority in the
State, and which have been sold for Sl4,-
100000, ,..and upon (which New York
trust company has loaned ST., 100000 OF
its dcpositors' funds.
The reason for this action on the part
Of the Massachusetts, Pipe Line Gas
Company is the same as that which
would prompt..any gas and electric light
company in the State which knew that
public hearing given by the Board of
Gas and Electric Light Commissioners
for the purpose of ascertaning the ne
cessity or advisabiity of allowing the
issue of stock and bonds. would show

CROPS FROST-BITTEN.
Fruit Trees and Early Vegetation
Suffer in Many States

The cold wave which swept in from the
west last week did much damage to fruit
trees and early vegetation in all the States
which it traversed. The injury has been
increased by the fact that the preceding
warm weather caused the trees to bosom
freely. The extent of the damage cannot
be accurately estimated, but telegraphic
reports from various sections show that
serious injury has resulted.
Throughout the greater part of Illinois
orchardists and farmers take a gloomy
view of the situation and predict that the
fruit crop has been badly hurt. Reports
of damage come from many points in Mis-
souri,, but horticulturists in the famous
Ozark region think their crops will be
protected by snow. Kansas, Oklahoma.
Indian Territory. Arkansas and Texas re-
port damage to fruit trees. Reports from
northwestern Arkansas show destruction
has been wrought in the fruit crops of
that section by recent heavy rain, snow
and sleet. The strawberry crop of the en-
tire northern tier of counties has suffered
thousands of dollars worth of damage
while all other fruits except the apple
crop are believed to have been killed.
Many Texas fruit growers assert that the
blizzard practically ruined the crop. 9th
crs say that the freeze was not severe and
general enough to do such widespread
damage, but all agree that the loss will be
serious.

The battle ships Kentucky and Kear-
sarge, launched Thursday, are exact coun-
terparts of each ether and make brace
of fighting machines more powerful than
any two ships that steam upon the seas.
Sister ships built on the same lines from
the same specifications. the eye of an eX-
pert navy man would be needed to note
any little differences in their construction.
Both are tremendous men-of-war and
unique in appearance. They seem rather
short for their breadth of beam. Their
extreme length is only 36S feet, while
amidships they measure - feet inches
across. The forward freeboard measures
ii feet 8 inches, and the freeboard aft
II feet inches. The mean draft of both
ships is 23 feet inches, with their normal
40 tons of coal, which means a displace-
ment of II 800 tons. Power stands out in
their every line, but it is in their tremen-
dous armament and their magnificent ar
NOR that the Kearsarge and Kentucky
frighten one even to look at them. -Four
threatening 13-inch guns peer out from
the two main turrets; that is, two guns
to each turrct. Over the main turrcts are
two second turrets, which carry each two
S-inch guns. Fourteen 5-inch quick-firing
EllleS Hliht up lnt " IiSl iTlilI!EPul. ne
secondary batteries consist of twenty 6-
FOUNDER rapid-tire and six 1-pounder guns
and four machine guns. There are five
torpedo tubes. two on each broadside and
one at the stern. Two military tops
mounting machine guns, complete the ar
mamcnt of these ships. 1t is doubtful if
any other warship can hurl such Il mass
of metal from her side as these sister ships
will be able to do when in action.
Their draft. when the coal stock is light,
will enable them TO steam into the prin-
cipai navy yards and ports of the country.
As for armor. the Kentucky and Kear-
sarge need ask odds of no fighting ship in
our own or in any other navy. All the
armor is of solid nickel steel, harveyized.
The barbettc's armor is II inches in thick
ness. and the 13-inch gun turrets are pro-
tectcd by Il inches of the same hard
metal. Directly in front these turrets are
strengthened with II instead of - inches
of harveyized nickel steel. Armored bulk
heads will shelter the vitals of the ships.
The Kentucky and Kearsarge can steam
at the rate of ten knots an hour for 5000
miles, or at thirteen knots an hour for
1900 miles-clear across the Atlantic.
They can carry 1.210 tons of coal with
ease, and in case of necessity 400 or 800
tons additional. Their engines and boil
ers are of the best approved types, and,
all in all, there are no more fernciOus en-
gines of destruction in the world. Each
has horse power of 10000 and can speed
along ut the rate of sixteen knots an hour
without strain. The cost of the ships was
close to 81 100000 each. Two of like pat
tern are now building.

he started 10 go, Professor HerrmanA
said:
Major, l may not see you soon again
and | have never given you anything
by which you may remember me. Let
me make you present of this
Taking his hand. he placed Il fine dia-
moDd ring on one of his fingers. Major
Mckinley thanked him and admired
the ornament. Shortly after Hermann
left, Il friend who was present said:
"Oh. by the way. Governor, will you
let me see that ring?'
The Governor held out his hand, but
was astonished 10 find the ornament
gone. There was no need to ask queS-
tions about the mystery. Hermann
had left as Il mcmentO, instead of the
ring, the memory of very clever trick,
of which the Major was the victim.
