HERE ARE THE FACTs.
Comparison of Electric Light Plan
Under Goodrich and Lunson-

The electric light plant. under the
management Of G c. Nunson, appoint
ed by Mayor Hughes June !, is being
run on economic principles A saving
of twelve tons of coal was effected dur
ing June. The cost of light per night
was twelve cents, as against nineteen
cents for the preceding month The cost
per month per light was 81 Of for May
trio street Iamps--Good showing item
from the administration organ
c. c. Munson, the new superintendent
Of the electric light plant, appears to
be an honorable man. and he doubtless
would not sanction this effort to tear
down the good record of his predecessor.
Mr. Goodrich Mr. MunsOn knows even
If Mayor Hughes does not that the
statements made in the above item are
misleading
Here are the figures showing the cost
Of each electric light per night. sufi-
Gent TO make a comparison between the
ATunson and Goodrich administrations
AIunson. June-1z 1856 cents
Goodrich. May-19 cents
Goodrich Aprii-11 cents.
Goodrich, February-12 cents.
Goodrich. January-12 cents
Only in one or two months during Mr..
GoOdrich's entire administration did the
cost of lights per night reach the
amount OF u 1886 cents, or practically
13 cents
During the month Of May. Mr.. Good
rich purchased a big stock Of material,
such as carbons and other necessarfes.
which accounted for the large cost OF
lights during that month. Everything
spent during any month is figured in
on the cost OF lights for that month
When Mr.. Munson took charge of the
plant. ne found Ii well supplied with
material, and so was not obliged to
purchase any supplies Yet the cost of
lights increased over the usual cost

Mr.. Rayner indicated an objection, say

Mr.. Rayner-"He gave that as a reason

Admiral Cotton continued his testimony
after The Stars report of the proceedings
OF the Schley court of inquiry was closed
yesterday afternoon. He was followed by
Captain Wise. who commanded the auxil-
iary cruiser Yale during the Spanish war.
The Yale. like the Harvard. was used as a
scout and met the flying squadron off San
tiago on May ~ before the retrograde
movement to Key West was begun.
Captain Wise testified that on the 27th of
MAY he had signaled Captain Philip of

inside the harbor at Santiago. but the tes-
timony was ruled out.

added that If he had ever given that dis
patch to Admiral Schley it had been on
the 27th. and not the 31st of May.
Mr.. Rayner here raised the point that the
document read was copy and not the
original. He also called attention to the
fact that the document had not been print

Praying for President McKinIey's
Recovery.
From Zion's Herald.

From Zion's Herald.
Already many may have experienced a
shock to, if not an eclipse OF, their religious
faith because the prayers offered the wide
world around with much sincerity and
earnestness for the recovery of President
Mckinley We're not answered, as devout be-
Iievers expected they would be. And yet th.
outcome does no violence to Christian truth
as revealed in the Scriptures and to the
uny yarying lessons of science and Of his
tory. The expectation, born of universal and
ardent prayer, that the wounded President
would recover, was based upon distinct
misapprehenSions: First, the underlined but
very general and real conviction that God
be constrained to the expression OF
miraculous power, If only His people are
sufficiently importunate and intense I'm
their pleadings. There is no justification
in the Scriptures or in general history for
this impression Second. that God will
stay the operation of physical laws I'm an
swer to prayer. This feeling has no war
rant. Natural laws and processes are of
God, and they are and must be inviolable:
II not. the world and all life therein might
at any moment be hurled into chaos and
ruin. The law which makes II inevitable
that the deadly bullet will kill an animal or
the humblest man, operates no less fatally
in the case of king, emperor president
And when 1t is done, IL is done; PRAYER
never has caused, nor have We any sound
reason to expect that 1t ever will, a stay
VI Ddluf al anu consequences. IhlrU,
1T should never be forgotten by Christian
disciples that the highest form of prayer
always flowers In complete submission to
the will of God. Prayer which seeks only
certain human ends, which assaults the
throne Of God IL to compel compliance
is really very low type of petition. 1t
is, too. born Of human concett, as II the
short-sighted petitioner knew better what
the Divine Being ought to do.
Not so did Jesus and Paul pray. Jesus
asked to have the cup taken from Hian
and Paul to have the thorn removed
Neither prayer was answered: but a wiser
and holier result came TO Jesus and to
Paul-perfect submission to the will of God
as each had also prayed. Those who have
now lived through the shock. the agony
and the lessons of the assassinations of
Lincoln, Garfield and Mckinley, learn not
to expect less from God in such crucial
hours. but the more intelligently to submit
all our cares. desires and grief to our
Heavenly Father.
Shall we not pray, then. in such crisis2
Certainly. We cannot help IT, PRAYER
rises to the lips of all as the involuntary
almost unconscious language of the soul
And though we get not what we pray for
we are div1nely strengthened to suffer and
to bear that which has become inevitable
