EXPERIENCE OF DETROIT
81 wish to refer to the fourth annual
report of the public lighting commits
sion of the city of Detroit, Mich, of
the fiscal year ending June 90, 1899.
On page nine of this report will be
seen the absolute cost per year of q
1000 candle power arc lamp to the
city of Detroit SIS S46 56. Adding to
this the total fixed charge per arc
lamp OF $29. 10 gives total of 1885.
A large part of their circuits are un-
derground, which adds to the fixed
charges.
SIN my opinion, there are three al.
formations whereby the city can effect
a permanent aud material reduction in
the cost of street arc lighting.

at is difficult for me to write Of NAL
com Kirk without seeming to exagger-
ate and overemphasize his work. l
want to speak of his beautiful family,
which is part of the best part of this
western town.
Mrs. Kirk has developed into a wo-
man of rare power in all the church
and social life of the place. Years ago
the women here recognized her ability
as leader by making her president of
the Christian Temperance union. 1t
was largely through her efforts that
the township polled very heavy vote
for the amendment. She has thrown
all her rare talents as gifted musician
also into the redemption of the town,
with the result that no woman has
such an influence as she has on all the
young, thoughtless life that has crowd
ed in here during the towns rapid
growth in the years Of eighty-six and
seven.
There are three children, two boys,
named Gilbert and Hermon, and a
girl, the oldest child, named Faith. The
boys are bright, handsome fellows and

and Hermon 15. Faith, who is nearly

| been able to tell whether she is what
you women would call pretty or not,

| individual girls l ever met She is

self and is passionately fond of doing
for other people. l begin to get the
impression that she is thoroughly un-
selfish and that she has the making of
a remarkably useful woman. But l
predict for her some trying expert
ences. She is one of those girls who
would make her father and mother

"Come right Sn," said the girl. "Any one
from HermOn is aUelcOme"
anxious for her future if it were not
for the fact that they and herself are
Christian in their whole nature. That
is the salvation of such a girl as Faith,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Kirk seem to be
peacefully sure of the fact. All of the
children are members of the church,
and all three of them are very evident
ly proud of their father and Of what he
has DONE
''You ask, What has Malcom Kirk
done?
'In the first place, in spite of what
seemed like impossibilities, he succeed
ed years ago in building a church and
parsonage, both of which had been
burned down, it is supposed, by the
whisky men during the fight which
went on before the amendment was
carried. The church is a comfortable
structure. seating 300 or 400 people,
with several classrooms attached. The
parsonage is good house Of eight
rooms. fairly well furnished. although
Kinks peculiar habits of generosity
have not permitted anything approach
| ing luxury even in the slightest degree.
"But the building Of the church aud
parsonage IN in one sense the very
smallest thing that Kirk has done. 1t
is not too much to say that he and his
wife have revosutionized the moral
| life of this whole town. When they
came here about 20 years ago, they
| found a community of 1900 people. A
great amount of lawless, thoughtless
| life crowded the saloons, the dance
| houses, the cheap resorts of amuSe-
ment. Kirk and his wife, after pass
| ing through an experience Of great
| suffering and temptation, most of
which has always been unknown even
| to their own people, came out of their
| affliction with astonishing power over
| the life of the place. There is no ques-
| ton that the very thinking of the peO-
| pie here is shaped by Malcom Kirk S
| Christianity. The promise he and his
wife made when they came here has
been constantly in mind. The number
of lost men and boys who have been at
tracted to Kinks ministry and to Mrs
Kinks singing and playing and led to
| CHRIST is amazing. EVEN Tue DuSiHeSs
and political life of the town has beer

be decided to bring Mrs. Taylor to
town and celebrate. After coming
part OF the distance their light
wagon ran into a ditch and the
back wheels OF the vehicle gave way.
Considerable produce and a large
number Of eggs were spilled. Going

he hired the tiller of the soil to cart
him and his wife and what remained
OF the eggs and produce to thisIcity.
The only thing the farmer had was a.
heavy wagon but allwa loaded in

gan. When they arrived here all
they had left in the wagon was a
few cabbages and several boxes Of
smashed eggs. Out of fifteen dozen
eggs, which they started with, they
tonly had two or three dozen whole
ones to dispose Of and only a small
part OF the produce to sell. Aside
from this they had pay the other
farmer for transporting them and
were also out the expense OF fitting
