The sessions of the conference of Epis-
copal bishops, in progress for two days at
the residence of Bishop Satterlee, High
land Terrace, were terminated yesterday
afternoon. At the conference were nine
teen bishops, and included the greater
number of those representing southern
states The conference had for its object
the consideration of plans for the educa-
tion and evangeliZation of the negro race
under church influence, and near the close
resolutions were adopted setting forth that
instruction in the fundamentals of Chris
tan morality Is the foremost need among
the negroes of our day; that the inculca-
ton of these principles is a prime duty
and responsibility of the church, and that
In the present necessity the negro clergy
should be supplemented by evangelists,
catechistS, teachers, visitors and subor-
dfnate members, who shall give their chief
attention to teaching righteousness, and
that the schools related to the. American
right ought to be, the natural sources for
the supply and training of men for this
work

Getting Ready to Sell out.

According to the Enterprise of Mont
pelier, o., the municipal light and wa
terworks of that village are in bad
shape and viii require large expendi-
ture to put them in serviceable condi-
ton. The lighting plant is only twelve
years old and cost $4,000. The sale Of
the plants is under consideration.
The citizens of Sleepy Eye, Mimi,
are waking up to the costliness Of mu-
nlcipal ownership and are discussing
the sale of the light and water plants.
The former began it's operations in
1896 and is bonded to the amount Of
$4,000 The Dispatch of that place
says of the situation:
"How to put the plant in condition to
furnish the service that it ought to fur
nish at a reasonable cost is problem
that has not yet been solved. The old
plant with its heavy operating expenses
and it's large repair bill is not likely to
serve the desired purpose, and the
council recently decided that a new
plant was out Of the question"

: nilen,ma Of NASHVILLE, Ark.

The Nashville municipal light plant
has become a burden to the city, and
the council is now considering the ad-
visibility of selling it. The company
from which the plant was purchased is
demanding the remainder of the pur-
chase money and threatening to sell
the property unless the payment is
met. There is no money with which to
meet this payment as all the revenues
Of the city have been swallowed up in
the attempt to operate and pay for the
plant, and the only thing remaining to
be done is to either allow the company
from which the plant was purchased
to foreclose it's lien or accept an offer
made by a citizen Of the town for the
plant.-Nashville News.

d GIN OFFIcIAL,s OPINION.
Why Municipal Plants Are Operated at
a Disadvantage.


Professor George +. Sever of Colum-
bia university and for several years
consulting engineer Of the department
Of water supply, gas and electricity of
New York city was recently called
upon by the Syracuse lighting commits
sion to give expert advice as to the de-
STABILITY Of that city's embarking upon
municipal ownership of its electric
lighting According TO the Syracuse
Post-Standard, Professor Sever ex-
pressed the opinion that the city could
not produce lights at as low a cost as
they are now furnished by the SYRIA
cuse Lighting company, and stated
various reasons why municipal electric
light plants are not conducted as effec-
lively and economically as plants
owned by public service corporations.
To quote:
HE said that his investigation of
the subject convinced him that the
management of a municipal plant was
hampered by the laws governing mu-
nicipality. The superintendent did not
have the same advantages in making
Wv AiHpAON chtulS, SOME demanding
immediate action, as when acting for
corporation. The length of time re-
quired for proceedings for an expendi-
ture by municipality, he said, might
be dangerous to the success of the
plant. He further stated that there ap-
peared to be no incentive to highly eff
Gent men to take charge of a munich
pal plant. He did not believe that a
superintendent of a municipal plant
would show the same interest in the
management of the plant as il serving
a corporation which gave him a large
degree of power in making any changes
deemed necessary. A city, he thought,
would demand honesty and only fair
amount Of technical skill of it's super
intendent, and chances for a change of
administration would not promise the
reward for efficient service that might
be expected Of a private company"

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP? NO.
Voters Reject the Proposition In Many
Cities.


At the primary election held In Bal
timore recently municipal ownership
was rejected by both parties, and the
municipal ownership candidate receiv-
ed but 8 per cent of the votes cast, al
though he made a vigorous canvass on
this platform.
The city councils of Covington, Ky;
Omaha, Neb., and Richmond, Va, have
voted down propositions to bond these
cities for municipal electric light
plants.
A movement in Nebraska City to-
ward manipulating the water and
light plants is said to have been check
ed by the discovery that they were not
on a paying basis.
According to the Electrical Review,
the committee appointed to consider
the purchase by the town of South
Framingham, Mass, of the Framing
ham Gas. Fuel and Power company
and the Edison Electric illuminating
company has recommended that no ac-
ton be taken on account of lack Of
public interest.
The proposition to issue bonds for
municipal water and light plants has
been voted down in Benton Harbor and
Berrien Springs, Mich
In Pella, Ia, the votes of the women
carried the day against municipal own
ership of the water works, and in
Manitowoc, Wis, the purchase of the
water works was defeated by vote of
1880 to $40.
