Injunction Results.

Early in last August the four
commissioners Of t u q electric
light plant, whose positions
were effected hy the act Of the
City Council IN appointing their
successors, applied to III" Ills
trict Court praying for an lnjnnC
ton, restraining the City Council
and denying the seating of the
new appolntees.
In the petition, among other
avermcnts, was the following
Under the law the petitioners are
not entitled TO salary OF "moIu-
mcnts, "yet computed III money
the satisfaction of performing y
Jnblic duty and the laudable
pride felt by them in the premises
IS worth to each of them the full
sum Of 500, and that further
the various acts of Interference
afore referred to have caused an
nOyance, trouble and veNation to
your petitioners in the premises
which, computed in money. are
worth the full sum of $500 :
Bond was furnished by the
petitioners in the sum of 800,
with Jules Dreyfus a. surety.
How these thousand Dollars
positions appear to the commits
sioners after the Injunction was
granted, may be inferred from
the fact that meeting after
meeting has gone Ivy default
for want of a quorum lmpor
tant matters aud credit of the
plant have had to be carried
over alike, for want Of timely
action.

BY comparing this dynamo
capacity with the engine capacity,
II will be seen that an even ba
lance il established, with all the
fans running and the 80 arc
lights on. There is no want of
harmony between engines and
dynamos.
Should the fan service of the
town be double what it now is,
DYNAMO No. would safely
cary it. Should all the other
dynamOs be loaded to their limits
at the same time, the engines
would only carry. with every
thing on, a 5 per cent. overload
while they are permitted tt
carry % per cent. overload.
The two altinators, Nos. ] ant
|2. have combined capacity OF
5000 1G c. D. lamps. These two
machines are doing the entire
lighting of the town. According
to the report of April Isl, will
the street lights Oh, there wa'
no over load. Whatever over
load there may be today, is du'
to the additions made to th'
service since April 1st.
Dynamo No , sets on th'
floor idle. 1t has capacity O
of 1000 lights. 1t has a burnt
out section in its armature, whlc'
will necessitate the rewinding o
that part Of the machine befor
it can be made serviceable. Th
cost Of the repairs necessary o
this machine would amount t
probably $500.
An expenditure of $500, the'
for the repair OF an idle an
crippled dynamo is all that
, necessary to make the, plaf
thoroughly efficient and adequat
, TO the needs Of the town, pOsslbl
, for some little while to come.
j Neither the public nor the Cit
> Council has been 50 advised b
the Commission.

A Comparison.

In the in,inisiraiion Of the
business affairs Of tn Iberia
Building Assn tone OF the sue
cpssiul institutions of this citY.) it
was thought best w be directors
to have one insurance company
carry all the policies Of the asso
citation This course proved Cf
mf ny advantages IT assures TO one
agency Il very deslleablu volume
of business, which requires but
one effort on The part OF the
agency to get ana control for
a year. II facilitates adjustments
in the event of loss and reduces
the probability Of lillgations.
While these advantages were
attained to the association as
whole. the individual insuring
stock holder is protected by q
condition that provides that the
associations agency shall give
the stock holder at all times the
lowest obtalnabIe rate that may
be had from Il responsible compa-
ny.
The New Iberia Electric Light
Plant has vested the right and
privilege of installing all new
lights in the hands Of an outside
company. Has the plant safe
guarded the tax payer and light
user by conditioning that that
privilege shall endure only upon
this company giving the lowest
obtainable rate for both labor
and material that may be haC
from other responsible concerns
The granting Of this privilege
is questionable under any circum
stances. The private company
would not undertake che business
if there were not the inducements
of pIolit-large or Small-ll
/ Handling it. Has not the plan
lost an asset in the surrender o
this business? The plant is com
PEELED to carry a salafied corp
of electricians, inemen, etc, a
all times. and could do al ordlna
nv installations with but littl
additional expense, Any profit
, that the plant might earn fror
this feature, would be for tn
interest of the tax payer
, The plant has no rent to pay
no taxes, no license, no light bill

t The many superior advantage

Total reported service of

the plant. ........... w.
BY a comparison of these two
statements it will be seen that
the engines of the plant had, on
April 1st, 1906, carrying capa
city Of 1918 more lGc. p. lamps
without on" lamp Of overload;
and this is taking into the calcu
lation that The street lig hts are
on.
RI the arc lights OF ;he streets
are to be cut out, (as they are),
it means that the plant had in
engine capacity 1918 lamps of lG
G. u , more than were in service
on the 1st Of Apli', before the
point of overload would have
been reached.
Taxing into consideration the
uprmlsSlble overload of tn e
engines 226S more lights could
have been added to the load
carried by the engines on April
list, 1906
In other words, the engines OF
Of the plant were carrying, on
April 1st, 1906, but little over
one half Of their extreme possible
load.
There is no probability that
the plant has added 1000 lamps
since April 1st. therefore, tbt
statement Of overload made
lby the Commissioners, and offered
as their excuse for denying thu
public tho benefit of the stree
arcs, cannot possibly apply t.
the engines of the plants equip
ment.
The plant has four dynamos,
which are here designated bl
numbers in the same manner al
the engines. There are t"'

LAUNDRYMAN ATTACKED
BY UNIDENTIFIED MAN
STRUCK ON HEAD BY MURDER
Gus ASSAILANT
Crushing Blow Struck in Presence of
Witnesses and Stranger Escapes.
Stiff Hat Probably Saved Life Of
Victim

J. McDougall. a laundryman with
offices at 1O7 West Second street, was
Slugged by an unidentified man last
evening shortly before o'clock while
standing at Mott alley and Second
street and was rendered unconscious.
Before the surprised spectators were
aware of what had occurred the as
sailant was nearly a block away.
While some of the witnesses to the
affair called for the police ambulance,
others gave chase to the fleeing man,
but were unable to overtake him. Ac-
cording to friends of the injured man,
the whole affair took place so quickly
that they did not secure a good de-
scription of the man who attacked Nc
Dougall
The laundryman had just stepped
out of his office onto the street when
the stranger struck him with club
and ran. McDougall fell to the pave
ment unconscious and was removed to
the receiving hospital. DIR. Freedman
attended the mans injuries and found
that he had sustained a slight scalp
wound.
The weight of the blow might have
resulted more seriously had it not been
for McDougall's derby hat. The club
of the assailant fell on the stiff felt,
splitting it and inflicting a slight
wound on the head. 1t was found
necessary at the hospital to take four
stitches in the cut.
McDougall can give the police no
explanation Of the affair. He knows of
no enemies that would attack hima 1t
is the theory of the injured man that
he was struck by mistake, being taken
for another. After being attended at
the receiving hospital McDougall was
removed to his home in Pasadena.

within itself all the latent and unde-
Veloped energies which should, I'm due
time. enable Il to direct the course OF
history. to change the destinies OF ma
tions and to mold into newer and higher
and better forms the characters OF
men.
And that which It was possible foT
the typical and saving life to accom-
plish is but the symbol Of that which
belongs to every life, no matter how
high in life may be It's birth, no matter
how lowly. Alike to the one as to the
other belongs Godgiven power.
What then, IN this regard, Is our
duty2 Clearly It lies in the giving up
of ourselves in a moral and spiritual
way to the care of children. Said one
OF our American poets In my dealing
with my child my Latin and my Greek,
my accomplishments and my money
stand me nothing. They are all lost ON
him: but as much soul as I have avails.
IL I am merely willful he gives me a
Roland for an oliver, sets his Will
against mine, one for one, and leaves
me. If | please, the degradation Of
beating him by my superior strength.
But if I renounce my Will and act, not
from the will but from the soul, setting
that up as an umpire between us two,
out of his young eyes looks the same
soul-he reveres and loves me- We
have both come nearer to God. He has
given me that which It was in his
power to give. / have done that which
it was alike my duty and my respon-
sibility.
"Do you remember the story of Silas
Marner-how, falsely accused of q
crime such an effect is wrought upon a
sensitive nature that, with his faith in
humanity shattered and his mind un-
balanced, he wanders away from his
home and native surroundings and
comes to live the sordid life of a hermit
and miser? But finally one night a
little child, neglected and forlorn. wan
ders in and falls to sleep upon the
hearth; and in the end, because of the
love which, as a result, grew up be-
tween him and the child, their natures
were blent into one, so that the reason
and the higher and nobler nature of the
man were again called forth. And so
the autor, with a touching simplicity
and a striking beauty of spiritual in
sight. tells us: TN the old days there
were angels who came and took men
by the hand and led them away from
the city of destruction. We see no
white winged angels now, but yet men
are led away from threatening de-
struction. A hand is put into theirs
which leads them forth gently toward
a calm and bright land, so that they
look no more backward-and the hand
may be--even that of a little child"

TESTS INTEGRITY OF MAN
Rev. Baker P. Lee Says That Empty
Morality Is Like Steamless
Enuine

$50 many people have to die before
good words are said about them. When
alive and out of the sight of their
neighbors, they are very nice, but
they are all right, but Do not wait
until & person dies before saying a
good word for him. Show your love
of God and man. Do not everlasting
ly nag a man; if you do you will drive
him to the devil" were the expressions
made by Rev. Baker P. lie in his SER
mon yesterday morning on the topic
"What Lack I Yet?" He said in part:
''These were the words the rich young
ruler said, What lack I yet? The
young man had said, What good
things shall I do that I may have
eternal life and the reply was If
thou will enter into life, keep the com
mandments,' which called forth the
scene written in story that the young
man had said that he had kept the
commandments from his youth up and
what was there lacking? But when
Jesus said to him that in order to be
perfect he must sell all his possessions
and give to the poor, he went away
sorrowing, for he had great posses
sions.
ITO. come to Jesus is a noble thing
TO do. 1t is great tect of mans in
tegrity. We must not expect too much
from the young. We do not send the
inexperienced cadet TO battle, but the
old soldier, who has endured the hard
ships of battle. We do not take the
young boy into a vessel to control II,
but an experienced sailor.
1T is not for us to give away all we
have indisereetly. We must use COM
mon sense about these things and it
is not moral integrity alone that saves
our souls. The moral obligation of
secret societies are good as far as
they go, but they do not go far enough.
The Bible teaches us that we must not
wholly rely ON morality. Did you ever
hear Of a Mason dying for any one?
The web of a spider Is a work of art
and what artist could do better? But
II matters not whether we are dressed
in calico or broadcloth and bedecked
in jewels, the moral principles are the
same. Although ii is better to be re-
fined ana moral, but those are not all
to save the soul. Morality is like a
beautiful engine that has no steam and
a watch without a handspring. 1t is
good as far as il goes"

great explorer, standing on a lonely
peak in Darien's unknown continent,
a vast ocean on either side, she saw on
one side the vast sea of human thoughts
swelling and raging in tumultuous strug-
gle, and on the other side the peaceful
Pacific ocean of spiritual understanding
and love; back of her the enforced,
self-inflicted sorrow and slavery of men
through human illusions, and before
her the land of spiritual Canaan, where
man, free and fearless in his true self
hood, may transparent walk the earth
like some holy thing. She saw the
awful unreality of the finite senses.
She discovered anew the spiritual laws
of life and harmony, and their appli-
cation to human needs, as Jesus taught
and proved.
Natural, Not Supernatural
What then do we not owe to
her who has so bravely stemmed the
tide of human opinions and held aloft
the banner of primitive Christianity
and it's demonstrations of the power of
the spirit, which can work no ill, which
is eternal, and unchanging good-that
law of love to which every knee must
bow?
MANY intelligent physicians who rec
ognize the healing works of Christian
Science say that their objection is TO
llle CldlIll OI IlS DelllS
Now, this is just what Christian Science
absolutely disclaims. Paul once said:
Why should it be thought a thing in
credible with you that God should raise
the dead?' That God should heal the
sick seems divinely natural to the
Christian Scientists.
christian Science is in full and ready
sympathy with every advancement to-
ward purity, benevolence, law and
order. 1t teaches that the Ten Com
mandments and the Sermon on the
Mount furnish the solution of every hu-
man problem. Its Alpha and Omega
is love, that God is love, infinite and
ever present, that all sects, nations and
races are embraced in that mind that is
love; that there Is one fathermother-
God, one family, the whole earth; that
man attains his own perfection and
harmony in proportion to his reflection
in thought and action toward all men,
of his active principle, that is love-"

CLEVELAND CLUBMAN NEARLY
BLEEDS TO DEATH
Victim of Fight Is Too Intoxicated
to Remember How 1t Happened,
but Believes He Was Struck With
Piece of Cast Iron

A. NJ. Curtis, a well known young
business and clubman of Cleveland, o.,
who is visiting in this city, was badly
beaten last Saturday night while on a
spree with several other men, whose
names he says he does not know. Curtis
sustained several deep cuts about the
face and almost expired from loss Of
blood before the ambulance could take
him to the receiving hospital.
Curtis can give no account of what
caused the fight i'll which he became
engaged. He says he believes his as
sailants used a piece of cast iron. He
admits that he was intoxicated at the
time, but gives no further explanation
of the affair.
officer King found the man at the
corner of West Third street and South
Spring. A call was at once sent to the
receiving hospital and when the young
man was taken there Police Surgeon
took several stitches in his wounds. The
right side of the upper lip was cut
through and 1t was the heavy flow of
blood from the severing of the artery
there that almost caused his death. In
addition there was a half-inch lacera-
ton of the right side of his head and
one-half inch laceration on the left
side of his chin.
