LISTEN TO THE LETTERS.

That the public is interested and
favors granting a franchise 10 the
Public Utilities Light, Heat and Pow
er Company TO furnish electric light
and power in this city is shown by
the large number of letters sent to
the Street and Sewer Department
which will no doubt be read at the
hearing on the subject tomorrow
These letters give good reasons for
the new franchise and also show that
the public is not only willing to sign
petitions. but that business people
are willing to take time to write, over
their own signature. and ask relief
from the present monopolistic condi-
tions in this city All that remains is
for the public to verbally express ite
sentiments for the franchise at the

WHY THIS EXCLUSIVE PRIV.
LEGE2

II all the groceries in Wilmington
were to combine and increase the
price of groceries to figure double
what you pay at present what would
you do? Your first move would be to
get someone with money to start
grocery store, sell goods at the
proper figures and them support him
in his business. Why should you not
make the same move in electric light
ing? Does the lighting monopoly
enjoy any more right to own the cleo
trio field than does the grocer, the
baker or the shoemaker to control
here and be protected against compe-
tition? II you believe in protecting
the interests of the many, then attend
the meeting Of the Street and Sewer

good word for the Public Utilities

MEMORIES
NJ. c. Robbins.

MY heart is aching so tonight
want my baby boy;
He was the darling Of my life,
My sunlight and my Joy.
When evening shades would fall
around,
He'd come to me for rest
I'd press him 10 my throbbing heart,
I'd hold him to my breast.
Wed sit before the glowing Goals,
/ then knew joys untold;
Because my baby was so near,
My arms could him infold.
Tonight my arms are empty,
My heart is empty, too;
And oh, my agony's so great,
know not what TO do.
My tears are falling just like rain,
My brain is throbbing wild;
/ stretch my arms in empty space,
I'm longing for my child.
If / could hear his little COO,
Or feel his little hand
Tonight I'd be the happiest one
In all this broad, broad land.
I watch young mothers when they
fold.
luell DdDlcS 10 luelr DIedSi-
They do not know-they cannot know,
How grandly they are blest.
But oh, if ever from their heart,
Their little one is torn;
They'll feel the keenest agony,
That ever can be borne.
II could find fnger-mark,
Upon the window-pane-
Or see a little muddy boot
Upon the floor again.
If / could hold my baby once,
Or kiss his curly head;
oh. then the pain would leave m,
heart,
But no-my boy is dead.
/ wish that he could sleep tonight
In his little white-robed bed
And I could hear him lisp his prayer
And kiss his golden head
But no the rain is IaiiinS,
And the night-winds wall an
sough,
Above the little lonely grave,
Where baby's sleeping now.
