Mr.. WhitelaW's Franchise.

Considerable dissatisfaction has de-
veloped during the past few days 10 re-
gard to the new electric light franchise
which is now before the people OF Delta.
This dissatisfaction is brought about on
account Of what some think is descrep-
ancy in the ordinance which has been
submitted to the taxpayers.
In section six OF the franchise where
the time Is specified for the beginning
OF work on the plant and it's completion
there does not seem to be any way in
which the town, under the ordinance
could compel the intent OF this section
to be complied with. For instance,
suppose the work was not begun at all
it is the opinion OF many that the
water power would be tied up for the
full twenty years. While it states that
the plant must be completed within $50
days it does not attach any penalties
whatever il this demand is not complied
with. consequently it leaves some doubt
as to whether or not anyone could be
forced to construct tho plant at all dur
iHg the twenty years. or the life OF the
franchise and 1t could be held entirely
for speculative purposes.
The present light plant franchise was
more specific in this respect in which it
was stated that II these provisions were
not carried out they would forfeit their
franchise. 1t is argued that il this
clause was necessary in the franchise
we now have why not in this one?

islation for which it was convoked in
special session Monday, adopting rule
TO take vote at o'clock on
Thursday afternoon on the bill to make
the Cuban reciprocity treaty effective.
and entering on debate OF the Cuban
bill.
The rule was adopted by party vote.
176 to l55, with the exception that six
Republican members from Michigan
and Colorado joined the minority in op-
position to the rule.
The Democrats opposed the rule on
the ground that it was drastic and pre-
vented a vote being taken on any
amendment to the bill. while the six
Republican votes cast against it iuclud-
ed opposition to the measure as antag-
onistic to beet sugar interests.

 No. g. The Pope in the Vatican Gar dens.-Mr. Dickson was privileged to show the mutoscope containing the first views os his holiness and succeeded in arousing so much general interest that the sovereign pontiff agreed to give him several sittings in the open sunlight in the Vatican gardens. The day upon which the appointment was made was extremely warm and sultry, but at o'clock in the afternoon the pope ap- peared accompanied by Monsignor Della Volpe. and passing along the pictur- esaue rose bordered garden walks took his seat upon his favorite stone bench. Having received the salutation of his at- 1 tendants, he turned toward the camera, and. at the request of Monstgnor Della Volpe, bestowed his blessing in a most l impressive manner. @'
 No. 10. Pope Leo XIII Walking in the Twilight.-It is stated that on the day before this remarkable view was taken a cablegram was sent out from Rome 1 to the effect that his holiness was in a very precarious condition physically, and that the end might be looked for at any instant. What wonderful con- trast to that report is given by this pie l ture. His holiness appears with his l favorite nephew walking through the l beautiful Vatican gardens unassisted, | leaning but lightly upon his cane, smil- | ing and chatting pleasantly with his at-
 tendants. Throughout this picture there
 there is every possible evidence oe the
 almost supernatural strength and vigor
 of the aged holy father.

 Description of biograph views in reg ular order: r-
 No. i. Cardinal Gibbons-This view was taken by the gracious permission of His Eminence Cardinal Gibbons, at the famous seminary of St. Mary at Balti- more, The scene opens with a view of the front entrance of the seminary chapel, the seminarians being grouped About in expectant attitudes awaiting the appearance of the cardinal. The doors swing open and the cardinal ap- pears, accompanied by Father Magnien and the various members of the faculty. At the threshold the cardinal stops for an instant in an impressive manner, and raises his right hand. At this signal the seminarians kneel and in that at- titude receive the cardinals blessing. The blessing having been bestowed the students arrange themselves into two lines, through which Cardinal Gibbons and the faculty of the seminary pass in full view. This scene is remarkably true to life and intensely interesting.
 No. 2. A Corpus Christi Procession.- This sacred festival of the church is ob- served with even more ceremony on the continent than in America and the pro- cessionaIs incidental to it are of an ex- tremely picturesque character. The scene which the bfograph portrays so vividly is characteristic of the church in Italy. It shows the churchmen in full vestment. the altar boys and attend ants, and the various emblems and ban ners which have such deep significance to the faithful of the Catholic church.
 No. 3. Brotherhood Of the Misercor- dia.--All readers of history are familiar with the wonderful fraternity of noble- men which has existed in Florence for centuries, and which has for its one aim the care of the sick and the burial of the dead. To it have belonged cardinals and bishops, princes and noblemen, and, side by side with them have walked la borers in the humblest positions of life.
