It has , boon long since anything in this city has so attracted the attention of the public undo.xcited remarks as the erection of the electiio light towers. In the first place , electricity is a thing mysterious , little understood and re garded with almost superstitious awe by the general masl-en , while the o who un derstand it bent stand in wholesome fear of it. But , if there is one liberty prized more highly than any other by the American clti/en , it is that of free speech. There-fore , each and everyone bus felt at perfect liberty to comment on the towers , and competent to explain all about what he did not underrftund to anyone who would listen. These tow ers , of which there are three completed , ate certainly odd looking structures. A light-looking triangular iron frame bearing at its top 160 feet from the ground , a grating or platform and just above tiiat four cross arms , from which the lights are to suspend ; the whole supported by a single iron post , about the size of a street lump post. Everybody knows that the electric lamps need 'daily attention. How to got to the top of the tower is the llrst ques tion that suggests its-elf to one on first seeing it. Hxamlnalion shows Iho iron frame to bo made of three iron gas pipes , braced and cross- raced by iron rods. One of the pipes is studded with spikes so as to form a ladder , and it is not uncommon to hear a man say , "Well. 1 wouldn't climb that thing every day all winter for all the money in Council Blulls. " A man wonk . have to hang on when the thermoiiioter is twenty below , the wind blowing and the air full of snow. He'd freeze to death before he could get to the top. " Another says : "I'd want the tower lower or the Milury higher before I'd clean tho-o lamps every day. " One bulloonuticafter taking in the situation from a safe distance , made a proposal to Mr. Olllcer to furnish n balloon in which the attendant could malic his daily as cent. It docs look a little shaky , and it would be tin impossibility to climb the ladder every day , but these is no need of it , for each tower is lilted with a wire cable elevator so balanced by a weight that the elevator and the attendant can be carried to the ton without oven the labor of hoisting himself. Ills work done , he reverses the motion , and with n little assistance from him himself is lowered to the ground. By means of brakes ho is able to completely 'outrol the elevator , and every precaution has boon taken to make tlio work as safe as possible. The ladder is only for use in case of emergency , so that by no accident could the attendant be left 150 feet up in the air with nothing but wind to subsist upon. The iron standard of the tower is firmly planted in a lied of mason work. A derrick is erected , the top section fastened together , and by the derrick hoisted about twelve feet into the air , a section of gas pipe about eight feet long is then screwed into each of the three angles and securely braced and the der rick hoisted again , aitd the operation is repeated. Guy ropes prevent the work from toppling over while it is being hoisted. In this manner the labor is performed on the ground. When the structure has reached a proper height it is fastened to a standard , the guy ropes are replaced by eight twisted iron cables , which are fastened at different heights and secured to posts in the ground , which prevents all swaying. The contract requires six of these tow ers , besides the lights on the court house , and the men are at work on the fourth now , so it will not bo long before the city will be lighted by electricity. Of course there are many doubters who foretell that the system will not work well , as the towers are too high or too low. But experience has shown that a height of 150 feet affords the best re sults. If placed too low the light is in tercepted by buildings , and if placed too high it is too much diffused. The near future will solve all questions that now arise , and for the sake of the city it is to bo hoped they bo satisfactorily answered. Sermon At Ht. Paul's. Last evening the Rev. Dr. Maekay spoke to the young men. His address was thoroughly practical and was lis tened to by a lurgo audience mostly young men. The subject chosen was "Stevenson's Strange Talc , or the Con fession of Dr. Jcckyll , " a brief * sketch of which was given. Dr. Jeckyll was a man possessed of more than average goodness of heart and life , yet possessed of a strong liking for pleasure. During his chemical investigation ho acci dentally discovered a compound , by the use of which , taken into the system , ho became so metamorphosed as to keenly enjoy these pleasures and whicl changed his physical appearance so that no one would know him. Ho also discovered another drug which would reduce him to his normal self again Thus he could act a double lifo without fear of discovery. Ho named his becond and unnatural self Edward Hyde. Thus for years ho lee' ' this dual life. The more Mr. Hyde was indulged the stronger ho became , and the weaker to resist temptation , be came the good doctor. Ho tried many times to overcome his temptation , but each trial resulted in the downfall of the good and the dominance of the evil. The evil finally became bo powerful that Mr. Hyde committed murder , for which act the good doctor became so con science stricken that lifo was torture. This strange story cuds in the buicido of the good Dr. Jekyll. Applying the tale Dr. Mackoy con tinued : "It is not a mere tale written to amuse an idle hour. If such was the author's intention ho has written wiser than ho knew , for it contains the grand est teaching and the most awfully solemn truths in the shape of a story that it has ever been mv lot to read. Who can read the sad confession of doctor Jokyllund not feel that- the author is drawing a faithful picture of the con flict that is over going on in the nature of man. The conflict between the peed and the evil the God side and the devil eido for , rotlno it as wo may , there is a devil bide in man. "Many a man vol untarily , " as the author says , "strips himself of the hallowing instincts by which oven the wor t of us continues to walk with s-omo steadiness among temp tations , and does evil with a keen sense of pleasure. " So close is the dividing line in many a man between good and evil that to bo tempted , however slightly , is to fall. Could wo obtain the confession of any noted criminal wo would find it to proceed on precisely the same principle , i. o. first tlio conflict ; then the tampering the longing then i the resolve , and then the fall. The ) ' higher pur' inspirations after purity nnd righteousness 01 i lifo the more fear- ful will theconflictbecome. St. Paul was not aware that ho was worse than other men until the righteousness o ! God in in Christ Jesus , shining in upon his nature , revealed to him what his true condition was. " "Hear Paul dlscribo his condition : "I am cural. Sold under sin. For what I would do , that I do not , but what I hate , that I do. " In this wo hoar the repugnance of Dr. .Tokyll for the oyil of Mr. Hyde ; thahatryd of the good nature for' the evil , ! the bud. "Henry Jekyll , " says the author , "stood , nt times , aphast before the nets of Edward Hyde. " So before the man becomes thoroughly hardened does ho etand appalled at the iniquity of his own nature. St. Paul payn : "Now then. It Is no more 1 that do it , but sin thnt dwollcth in me. " So reasoned Dr. .lekyll : "It was Hyde and Hyde alone that was guilty , " so every man rea sons : A little Indulgence will not hurt mo. It is only allowing a little liberty to one side of my nature , the other will not suffer. St. Paul admits all that. He goes even further. "For I know that in mo" that Is my flesh "dwellcth no good thing , for to will is present with me , but how to perform that which is good 1 lind not. "Now if \ do that I would not it is no more I that do it , but sin that dwelloth in mo. " ThiHSt.Paul declares to bo a law of our being. I Hud another law , viz : "When I would do good evil is present with mo. " "For 1 delight in the law of God after the in ner man. " Yes , Paul , so does every man in the beginning ; but ! see another law in my members waring against the law of my mind and bringing mo into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. "Man. " says Dr. Jekyll , "is not truly one , but truly two. I wiw that of the two natures that contended in the field of my consciousness even if I could rightly be said to bo either it was only because I was radically both. " What a commentary on St. Paul's agonized expression : "Who shall deliver mo from the body of this death ? " It was the curse of hu manity that these two incongruous fagots' were thus bound together ; that in tlio agonized womb of consciousness these polar twins should be continually struggling. This strange book is not an unnatural one , but a faithful portrayal of the struggles of a highly gifted human nature. Such a character us this is re vealed in the history of Saul , the first king of the .lews. A man highly favored , with noble , generous impulses , and dark , jealous , revengeful passions ; struggling against his evil spirit and and yet loving to give way to it. Eager to obey the commands of God , yet over disobeying them , and at last , after his ill balanced lifo , escaping from the death ho dreaded by self destruction. If you want to see the truth uf the author's story looo into your own hearts , and you will see there the story written in let ters too easily read. In greater or less degree the struggle goes on in every child of man. In him who resists the conflict is ennobling. In him who basely yields , the tendency isjeverjdown- ward , until ho is swallowed up by the whirlpool of passion that ho himself has evoked. Says Sidney Smith : "If wo wish to know who is the most degraded and most wretched of human beings ; if wo want to see how deon the miseries of man can reach ; if this bo an object of curiosity , look for tlio man who has practiced a vice so long that ho curses and clings to it that he pursues because ho feels a great law of Ins nature driving him on tow ards it , but reaching it , knows that it will gnaw his vitals and make 'him roll himself in the dust with anguish. " "Oh , young man just starting out in lifo , bo warned in time ! You carry within you your worst foe. Realize the nature 'of the conflict you must wage against the J/nver parts of your nature. In it you currhavo little help from man. In the silence of your own heart the battle must be fought and lost or won. Lost it need not bo if you are only faith ful. " The speaker closed with a powerful and eloquent appeal and showed that the warfare need net bo without help. Ho quoted numerous scripture passages which promise divine assistance. "God will not use his power so as to crush the power of choice. " Every man must chose for himself and this responsibility rests upon himself alone. "No man on earth has over fought this battle alone and won. God will help you and a glor ious victory will bo yours. " A PRE-HISTORIC CITY. Once of 25.OOO Inhabitants Now But a Relic of Ethnological Intercut. A letter from Arizona , printed in the Washington Post , gives information of an exceedingly interesting and valua ble ethnological find made by Mr. Frank H. Cushman , of Xuni fame , the past summer in Arizona. It seems ho lias discovered u pro-historic city in the Salt river valley" , about eighty miles northwest of Tucson. Inquiry made to day at the ofllco of the Powell geologi cal survey elicited full confirmation of the printed report , together with inter esting additional information about the great find. Prof. Cushman is at present in southern California , lying extremely ill , but the foreo ho put at work during the summer exhuming the buried city arc still encamped on the spot continu ing their explorations. The camp is located on the edge of the unearthed city and about HOO yards from what was its citadel , or fortified temple. This is believed to have beet a building of considerable size and strength , probably several stories high and had its foundation laid deep in the earth. The material used in its con struction was sun-dried clay , the same as that used by the Mexicans of the lower and middle classes and before Mr. Cushman began his explorations there was nothing to mark its whereabouts except a sort of oblong hillock or mound Little of the walls above the foundatioi were found intact , but the ground plan could bo traced in every detail , as wel" as the lines of the outer wall. The rooms were of different sizes , and seemed to have been constructed with much architectural skill. A number of the smaller apartment ! hud undoubtedly boon const ructct for burial vaults , for when t were opened un skeletons were found in them , the heads being invariably to the east. In ono of these vaults waf the skeleton of a child. Mr. Cushman was of the opinion that the building had been a sort of combined citadel and sacred temple , and that the i-pmuins of those found there wore those of priests and their families. The city extended out in all directions from the palace or temple , and the foundations of numer ous dwellings had been exposed , many of them consisting of but ono room ; but now and there is ono of larger and more ample proportions , and in most of these larger ones there had been found burial vaults and skeletons. Two thousand of these have been exhumed al ready according to the letter in the Post , but it is thought by the officials of the geological survey that this is a misprint for two hundred. A great deal of pottery has been taken out , of course. No iron , copper , or metal instrument of nny kind was found , but great quanti- tics of stone axes , stone nestles and mortars , bono needles and knives and other such materials as belong to the stone ago. The skill with which these articles wo.ro made was far superior , however , than that shown by the In- diuns found in America by the whites. These pro-historio dwellers of southern Arizona were a people of very superior intelligence. Mr. Cushman has found n good deal of wheat and barley and other gain , all of itof course , in a charred , blackened conditiod , and helms also traced several canals and found the ruins of a largo re&crvoir , so'thut ho has no doubt that extensive irrigation had been carried on , and thnt all the valley had been un der cultivation. Ho thinks there must have been a population of nt least 25- 000 in the ruined city , and that mo t of the inhabitants lived by cultivating the soil of the surrounding country. Cushmun was questioned us to his the ory about the complete disappearance of the people who occupied this city , * 'l ' think , " said he , "they suffered from some great calamity llko the In- inhabltants of HcrculantL-um and Pom- Foll. It was probably an earthquake , have found skeletons under the walls of houses lying as If the walls had sud denly fallen upon the person fvnd crushed him to death. Yes , I think there cumo a terrible earthquake which killed many and frightened the remain der away. They were no doubt a reli gious people and strongly suporsitlous , so that they saw In the calamity that befell them a warning to seek some other abode. They probably moved south , and it may huvo been their de scendants that the Spaniards found in Mexico. They were certainly equal in intelligence and advancement to the Aztecs. " The Urotlirrs nntl the Beauty. Cornhill Magazine : Two brothers met a lady dressed in blue , whom they had never seen before , ut a military dance. Each of them asked at once to bo introduced to her at first sight ; each asked the same officer for an introduc tion ( though they had several friends in common present ) ; each described her in the same way , not as "tho lady in blue , " ( the most obvious point of appearance about her ) , but us "tho lady with the beautiful ears ; " each fell desperately in love with her off-hand , and each asked her for a particular flower out of a little bouquet containing four or five more conspicuous blossoms. Finally , each came up at the end of the evening to conlido in the same married lady of their acquaintance their desire to see more of the beautiful stranger. Now , small as arc all these little coincidences , they nevertheless show to my mind a more profound identity of mental fibre than far larger and more important mat ters of lifo could do. For on great emergencies or in the great affairs of one's conduct it is only natural that somehow similar characters , being governed by the same general emotions , should act on the whole very much alike , while often , on the other hand , a particular difference will make the action of similar charac ters at a special crisis extremely diverg ent. Thus , the two Newmans , essen tially the same in fibre , both reexamining ining their creed at a certain epoch of life , follow out their own logical conclu sions with rigorous precision , one to free thought , the other to the cardi- nulato , so that outsiders would be apt to at first "What difference say sight : a striking ference between two brother.sl" But exact identity of tastes and preferences shown in these minute , touches of feel ing the choice of an introducer , the phrase about the ears , the selection of a particular flower ( it wasn't a violet , which might occurto anybody , but a spray of plumbago , in itself quite with out sentimental interest ) , and the un burdening of mind to a particular con fidante all these things abundantly testify to an underlying similarity of mental structure , down to tlfc ) merest side-tracks ; and by-ways of the brain , fhieh could hardly happen under any ither conceivable circumstances than hose of actual family identity.
