w. T. Bailey, who acquired the old
plant Of the Petersen Heat, Light. and

appeared at the council meeting Mon
day and said that he desired an electric
light franchise. He said the heating
plant could not be operated profitably
alone, but if an electric light franchise
could be obtained, the two businesses
could be made profitable. The COM

the franchise he submit one, containing
a schedule of rates and all the details
and the council would then consider
calling special election.

TT was 46 years ago that the head
Of the great cardinal minister,

tumbled about the continent for
more than 220 years, was deposited,
with all becoming pomp and cere-

Sorbonne.
That head had belonged to q man
who. for twenty years, was the alb

That head, during those twenty
years, from 1922 to 1912, had nego-
tiated "A treaties with foreign pow

That head had marshaled great
armies and dictated their plans Of
campaign.
That head had created and over
turned kings, cabinets and consti-
buttons.
That head had nodded this way

ministers. generals and statesmen,
took notice and governed them
selves accordingly. 1t was a won
derful head-one of the most amaz-

For five months, in 1855 the
Turks under General Williams held
the mountain fortress of Kars
against a Russian army more than
three times their number; and only
when food and ammunition both
were exhausted and further defense
became hopeless did the brave Eng

Then 1t was that the Russian
General Mouravieff, wrote to him
one of the most generous messages
ever sent to a defeated enemy.

'you have made yourself a name
in history; and posterity will stand
amazed at the endurance the cour-
age, the discipline which this siege

mands of war without disgracing

I n the story Of war there is no
chapter more thrilling than that
which tells how. n generation
ago, comparative handful of
Turks held the village of Plevna for
five months against a quarter OF
million of Russias picked soldtery.
Again and again the Muscovites
hurled themselves against Osman
Digna's trenches and redoubts, to
be swept back again and again,
leaving thousands Of slain behind
them. And It was only when hun
ger and disease had his band of he
roes in their grip that the gallant
Turkish leader made his desperate
and historic effort to hew his way
through the enemy's nnes-a for
lorn hope" which ended, as it was
bound to end, in failure.
But not until the Turks were sur
rounded by the Muscovites In over
whelming numbers and Osman him
self was seriously wounded did the
white flag at last give the signal of
surrender. When, later, the van
quished hero was led before the
Russian car. carrying himself as
proudly in defeat as in victory,
Alexander. with cordial hand
grip, gave him this generous greet
ing: sir, l congratulate you on
your fine defense. 1t was one of
the most splendid feats in the his
