Another class that he referred to
as being found in the juvenile court
is known as city scaveugers-boys OF
foreign parentage. Hundreds and
hundreds OF families in the city, Mr..
Randall said, live on what has been
rescued from garbage barrels by these
boys. So far as the housing condi-
lions are concerned. the speaker said
he found they were more miserable
than those OF New York.
"Over half the boys who find their
way to the juvenile courts, and girls
who are maynard. come from homes
where one or both parents are habit

In connection with the resolution
sent to the common council last month
by the union to have some action
taken in regard to the various private
hospitals and infants homes In the
city that are not properly conducted.
the pastors were requested by Police
Commissioner Smith TO send him the
names of any such hopsitals that had
come under their observation.

ELGIN'S LOSS 100000.
This Was In the Six Years the Town
Owned Its Electric liuht Plant.

Owned Its Electric Light Plant.
a municipal electric light plant was
installed in 1883 and leased to a pri-
vate company in 1904. 1t is estimat-
ed that the loss during this period was
at least 100000 as compared with
what it would have cost to light the
streets by contract. A city official,
tiles and Private Corporations Com
pared" gives $1OG73 as moderate
estimate of the annual cost per arc.
He says:
The electricians report shows that
the city has been selling light for from
% per cent to 80 per cent less than
the cost Of manufacture. Members of
the electric light department admitted
they could not run economically for
less than $4,000 per year, but they
wanted $4,000. Under our contract
with the private company we light the
same number of lamps and more hours
per year for $l5,G54, Il saving of 500
600 per year, figuring operating ex-
penses only. Information from anoth-
err source makes iheSe figures $4,000
and $14,32G respectively. Statements
from the light department show that
if proper attention had been given to
repairs of lamps at least $4,000 in coal
would have been saved. Hardly a
joint in our whole forty five mile cir
cult is soldered or wrapped; they are
simply twisted together There is no
estimate of the enormous loss of cur
rent over such loose joints. and yet 1t
has been so for sixteen years"
The following story shows how this
plant was made to serve the private
ends of the politicians: a mayor who
was a candidate for reelection attend
ed a dance given by Il local lodge. No
ticing how brilliantly the hall was
lighted with electric lamps. the mayor
said, How much do you boys pay for
these lights?" He was told $50 per
month. II will do it for $40" replied
the MAYOR

A Ii the blood in the body passes through

The kidneys filter the blood. They work
day and night. When healthy they remove
about 500 grams of impure matter daily;
when unhealthy some part of this impure
matter is left in the blood. This brings on
many diseases and symptoms pain III the

Municipal Lighting Plant Abandoned
After Ten Disastrous Years.

A responsible citizen of Wilmington
sends the following information:
"In the year 1892 the village of Will
mington built an electric light plant at
the cost of some 100000 The munic-
ipality from year to year made chan
ges and additions and had accidents
from bad management until in the
year 1902 it decided to sell the plant,
it having cost on an average over $1O,-
600 per year to operate same. frequent
ly being entirely without light for from
one week to three months at n time.
The service was very inferior and cur
rent was furnished customers from 4
to o'clock in the evening until mid
night. The number of street lamps
varied from so to 100.
The plant was sold. together with
the franchise for light and water. for
the sum of $4,000. the plant being
worth as junk about $1,000. the other
$1,000 being for the rights and privi-
leges under the franchise. The COM
pany that bought it constructed a new
plant and furnishes an all night serv-
