Mr.. HOPKINS REPORT.
THE LIGHTING OF THE CITY
STREETS.
Inspector Hopkins Makes Many Inter
eEting Recon- m endntions,

Lamp Inspector Henry Hopkins made
his report for the year of 1899 yesterday.
1t follows in part:
On December 81 1898, there were in
use 1853 lamps. On December 81, 1899
491 an increase of %. Nine changes of
various kinds have been made during
the year in this division. This branch
of the service, during the blizzard,
withstood the elements in good shape.
The mixtures have been painted during
the year and at the present time are in
fine condition. On July list, new con-
tract was entered into for a term of
three years from that date at a reduc-
ton of $3.50 per year per lamp, making
on the new price, viz: twenty-five cents
per night per lamp, a saving for the
term of the contract of 80, 64340. This
shows concusively the benefit derived
in contracting for period beyond one
year, all criticism to the contrary not
withstanding.
On December 81, 1893, there were in
use SIS plain gas lamps, including po-
lice signal lamps, and 205 Welsbach
lamps. On December 81, 1885, there
were as follows: 56S plain gas lamps,
including police signal lamps, and 253
Welsbach lamps, an increase of 80
lamps. On the plain gas lamps we are
81 below the contract number, viz: 600
1--WE are not asked to pay for the def
cheney, however). There We're erected
as per above number IS plain gas lamps
and 81 Welsbach lamps 20 gas lamps
were discontinued and IA were reset
The pluck shown by the boys during
the BLIZZARD, who had the lighting of the
lamps is worthy of special mention and
should be remembered by the contrac-
tors in more than passing words. This
branch of the service has been well
cared for by the contractors and is in
good order.
On December 81, 1898, there were in
use 502 lamps (not including four tenn
porary Lamps. During 1899 there have
been erected eleven lamps, discontin-
ued, including those that have been
changed to gas lamps, IL, which makes
a total of 1876 lamps in use (not includ-
ing four temporary lamps.)
The net gain of public lamps as
shown by the tables is IS. Total in use
December 81, 1899, 1903, as against 1,74S
lamps at the end of the year previous.
The nominal candle power has been in
creased from 5S9,5OO to $751; net in
crease of 36,14O c. p.

THE QUEEN OF SPAIN.
Her Tragic Position I'm 1885 Won All
Hearts and AwOke Spanish
Chivalry.

The day Alfonso died, November 25,
1855, Maria Christmas tragic position
won all Spanish hearts. The king had
outlived his brief hour of popularity.
He was too young and frivolous to
measure the consequences for SO DEM
ocratic nation as Spain of to-day of
frivolous reign. He could be brave
proved in the smallpox plague and
the earthquakes. But his real pre-
occupations were bull-fghts and fiirt-
ations. Instead of the serious SOW
ereign Spain needed she had only a
mediocre rake, and whatever may be
thought to the contrary, nowadays at
least, the rule of the rake is none of
the wisest. And so Spain was once
more on the verge of a revolution. But
death at % is considered tragic ex-
piation of the follies of youthtide, and
the country only remembered the
kings extreme youth and regretted its
unfulfilled promise. His errors were,
after all, the errors of impulsive and
passionate nature, without a bride to
its desires, and no higher ideal than
the enjoyment of the hour. Spain saw
but the corpse of young man, beside
which knelt young widow.
Spanish chivalry awoke when the
Spaniards reflected that this young
widowed queen was foreigner, WON.
an on the point of motherhood. whose
fate was in their hands. When the
prime minister, Senior Canovas, came
into the mortuary chamber to tender
his resignation, the newly proclaimed
regent, terrified at the immediate pros
pect of her responsibilities, cried tc
him: mo. no, don't talk to me of bust
ness matters, at least while Alfonso
is here" But she was even in thai
awful hour made to understand thai
affairs of state may not yield to private
misery, and as Reina Gobernadora
though her eyes were full of human
tears in the presence of human un
happiness. she was obliged to take th'
oath of allegiance to the kings sue
cessor and to the laws of the country
which she confided to the new minis
ter, Senor Sagasta.-Good Words.
