 Let Us Pray.
 For one precious moment let US try 10 think of the supreme ani universal spirit as an cxaaustless source or wis doIn or truth. of goodness CT love and of righteous will power or purity. Then let us inquire, How car that wis dom come into our understanding. that goodness into our affections, that right e0usnesS into our will? 1 hold it just as impossible for q man to increase in' wisdom, love or righteousness without receiving something from the deeper source as that his bodily powers should be increased without nourishmcnt. The child weighing ten pounds cannot be- come a man weighing a hundred and fifty pounds without taking q hundred and forty pounds of new material We say he grows-as if that were the simplest thing in the world. Yes. but he grows by receiving; he grows by compliance with conditions; be grows because he is alive and shares the na- ture of the things he feeds upon. There must be q corresponding provi sion by. which he receives truth. love and moral power out of the infinite supply. And in considering the proc esses by which We procure. prepare, appropriate and enjoy our daily bread l see >nOW an illustration of the whole method of intercourse between God and man. We continually take, by thought and industry, what he gives in wisdom and love. We are ever asking and receiving. seeking and finding, and because he lives we live also, Whether We realize it or not, our life, like Christ's, is hid in God. - Rev. Charles Gordon Ames, D.

FIRE DRILL FOR BROOKLYN MEN.
Life saving and Hitching Exhibition at
Department Headquarters.

A committee from the Municipal Club
Of Brooklyn visited Fire Headquarters
on East Sixty-seventh street yesterday
afternoon to watch a number Of probation
airy fremen go through the lifesaving drill
with the scaling ladders and life nets. The
men who gave the exhibition were twenty
five men who have been members of the
department only since April Q, but they
went through the exhibition in good style.
Battalion Chief Farrell and Capt. Hennessy
were in charge of the exhibition.
After the fremen had finished their stunts
the visitors were taken into the fire house
and an alarm was rung in for an exhibition
hitchup. Both the engine and tender
went out in marvellously quick time. Then
the horses were hitched to the ladder truck.
The performance vas rendered more realis-
tic by the ringing Of a genuine alarm, but
the fire was not in the district covered by
the company.
After the drill the committee had ar

Aldermen Intend TO Go TO L. q. Supreme
Court, hut Delany Says They Cant
Applications for Franchises Valued AZ
$500, 900 600 Car Now he Decided.
ALBANY, April 24.-The Court Of Appeals
to-day sustained the constitutionality Of
the law passed by the last Legislature TAX
ing from the Board of Aldermen in New
York city the power to grant public fran
ctises and comforting it upon the Board OF
Estimate and Apportionment.
The decision was given in the cases Of
Clermont H. Wilcox, appellant, vs.. George
r, Mcclellan, as Mayor of New York, and
others, constituting the New York city
Board of Estimate and Ap~portionment,
and Franklin Petit, appellant, va. the same.
The appellants first case was from a
Judgment Of the Appellate Division, First
department, which unanimously affirmed
a Judgment entered upon a decision made
hy Justice James A. Blanchard, at Special
Term, sustaining a demurrer to the com-
rlaint interposed by the defendants on the
ground that the complaint did not state
facts sufficient to constitute a cause of
action,
The action was brought by the plaintiff
a. a taxpayer to prevent the defendants
from granting certain franchises for under
ground railways in New York for the reason
that the defendants had no right under the
Constitution to grant such franchises, not
withstanding that the Legislature has con-
ierred on the defendants the right to do the
thing against which the plaintiff protested.
The Aldermen intend to carry the fight,
If possible, to the United States Supreme
Court. Little Tim Sullivan, the head Of
the Tammany members, and some members
representing also the Republican and M. o.
makeup of the board will have a conference
to-day with l.. Latin Kellogg, the private
counsel engaged by the Aldermen to test
the constitutionality Of the act in the State
courts. If Mr.. Kellogg can find something
in the decision OF the Court of Appeals which
will enable him to carry the case to the
United States Supreme Court, he will do 80.
Corporation Counsel Delany said yester-
dav that in his opinion the Aldermen could
not go to the United States Supreme Court.
The only issue, he said, was the construc-
ton of a State law. and upon such a ques-
ton the Court of Appeals had the final
adjudication.
Should Mr.. Delany's view prove to be the
correct one, the Board of Estimate can pro-
coed to pass upon applications for fran
chises amounting in value, it is estimated,
to about $500 900 900,
Among the franchises will be the nineteen
proposed new rapid transit routes, nineteen
extensions of the Southern Boulevard
Railroad Company, the New York and Port
Chester Railroad franchise, thirteen ex-
tensions of the New York City marlborough
system, the New York Connecting Railroad
Union Railroad Company, many extensions
asked for by the Brooklyn Railroad system
together with applications made for fran
chises by independent telephone companies.
