THE CONSUMERS ELECTRICAL co.
Says the City Gets n Compensation Worth
S60,0OO-The Conpany's Side of tho Con-

S60,0O0-The Conpany's Side of tho Con-
troversy
An aficer of the Consumers Elec-
trical Company yesterday asked a Reg
lister reporter to publish that company's
side of the electric light controversy,
and made the following statement for
publications.
The officers and stockholders of the
Consumers Electrical Company have
noticed from day to day the attacks on
their company and on Council for hav-
ing granted the franchise have up to
this time refrained from making any
statement for publication, and would
not do so now but for the fact that so
many false statements of fact have
been made that silence may be taken
for admission.
1T is not true that any person con-
nected with the Wheeling Electrical
Company has any interest whatever in
the Consumers Electrical Company, or
that there was any arrangement of any
kind between the two companies. On
the contrary the Consumers Electrical
Company Will proceed TO do a general
electric light and power business just
as soon as its plant can be equipped,
and the stockholders have put in their
money for that purpose, and propose
to engage in legitimate enterprise.
"All the statements about bonds hav-
ing been issued; about the franchise
having been sold; about persons having
been employed to procure the fran
chise about the Wheeling Electrical
Company having adopted this method
of extending its franchise, are absolute
ly and entirely false The Wheeling
Electrical Company had nothing to do
with 1t. The attack comes solely from
disappointed and envious persons ac-
tuated by spite. They assailed the
| Consumers Electrical Company after
having tried in vain to get stock in it.
One of them, Immediately after the
Consumers Electrical Company was or
ganizef and its franchise secured,
came to an officer Ct the company and
proposed to buy the franchise, and was
told that it was not gotten for the
purpose Of being sold but for the pur-
pose of doing business. and then he
proceeded to complain of the Council
for having granted it.
I'VE have carefully traced to their re-
spective sources all of the false state
ments that have been made about this
| company, and propose to look after
these matters when we have gotten
through with the business of getting
ready to furnish electric lights. We
insist that the City Council did what

OPENING OF WEEK OF PRAYER.
Mr.. S. d. Adams Address at the
Y. Nj. c. a.

ME- 81 bs AUanS ADDRESS at the
Y. Nj. C. a.
Mr.. S. B. Adams spoke at the Y. M
c. A. yesterday afternoon on THE Dig
nifty of the Christian Profession"
The trouble with the people, Mr.. Ad-
ans said is that they do not sufficiently
magnify their Office as Christian men and
women; too many of them seem to think
1t necessary TO speak of their religious
views and connections with the church in
o. 11ologetic manner
no was Jesus Christi" he asked.
ASK any intelligent and thoughtful man
who has given the subject deep study,
and, even though he be a skeptic, he will
exhaust the vocabulary in describing his
purity and work. Christ has altered the
whole current of the stream of history
and stamped himself indelibly upon all
thought and history since His time"
Somehow the impression has got abroad.
said Mr.. Adams, that the scholarship of
the age is agnostc but this is a mistake,
for nearly every real scholar has been a
Christian. 1t has also been said that inf
deity is rampant among the scholars of
Germany hut this also has been refuted
by one Of the greatest of German think
ers who says that while there may be
much skepticism among what is known
as the educated class that almost all of
tire recognized scho ars are Christians
The reason that infdelity seems TO be
on the increase is that a greater notoriety
and importance seemingly is attached to
the works that attack the Christian relig-
ion than to those that defend 1t. They ex-
cite greater interest because Of their po-
sition; it is the same principal that DR..
Talmage applied when he said that though
a thousand men might be aboard a boat
were one OF them 50 foolish as TO jump
overheard he would attract more attention
than the whole nine hundred and ninety
nine who did nothing unusual Books have
been written in favor of religion as great
and strong and scholarly as those written
against 1t, but an anti-religious book is
read one hundred times where the other
is read once. Renan, who In his life of
Christ admitted everything except
His divinity has been fully answered
by German writer. but hundreds will
read Renan while only a few will read the
other.
Mr.. Adams also spoke Of Ingersoll, whose
intellect he thinks has been much over
rated who held no special rank IN his
profession as a lawyer, and who, II he lee
tured, as was claimed, for the enlighten-
ment of humanity, never failed to collect
a dollar at the door from every one who
attended his lecture. With Ingersoll he
contrasted Gladstone, whom he called one
of the foremost scholars of the century
and a bulwark of the Christian church.
The man who processes Christianity, Mr..
Adams sold, Is in goodly company.
The week of prayer viii continue until
Nov. 49, a short meeting being held every
night at o'clock. These meeting will
be for men only, and all young men are
urged TO attend as many Of them as pos
sible

FrOebel Circle Wants to Raise
Christmas Tree Funds.

Christmas Tree Funds.
Froebel Circle of Kings Daughters is
always active in its efforts to make the
poorer children of the city happy, comfor-
table and well. During the summer
months the energy of the members is ex-
pended in promoting the health and hap
piness of the. little 'folk by giving them
outings at Ty1bee, the fresh air fund be-
ing devoted to this laudable object. The
year round the ladies are Interested in
their work. and they have the fund ever
in their minds. Even now they are look
ing forward to the betterment of their &C
commodations and the enlargement of
their facilities for the care of children on
the island next summer.
Just at this time however, the matter
uppermost with the circle is a doll show
that will be given early in December,
probably on the 8th. The proceeds of the
entertainment will be devoted to the
Christmas tree the circle has made ii a
custom for several years TO give the poorer
children of the city. Every means is
sought to insure a choice collection of
presents for the children who would re-
ceive none at all at the time when the
nate are being gladdened were it not for
the labors of the ladies who so charitably
interest themselves in behalf of the little
ones. If there should be more made by
the doll show than is necessary for the
Christmas trees the surplus will be devot-
ed 10 the fresh air fund.
All children who have dolls are invited
to enter them in the show. Prizes will
be offered for the most striking doll in
the several classes into which the exhibit
will be divided. Those classes are lady.
girl, boy, baby, rag, fancy dressed, old
fashioned and paper dolls. An entrance
fee of 10 cents will be charged for each
doll
Efforts wills be made to enlist the aid
of the school children of the city in the
show. The little girls who have dolls will
be asked to enter them in the contests

is believed by this means the show will
be helped wonderfully. Miss Nina Pane
is interesting herself particularly In the
work, and any children or others who may
desire to help her and promote the show s
