CLARENCE WATERS FINED.

He Made Trouble in n Church Because ellis
Girl" Had Been Elected.
Clarence Waters looked more like he should
have been getting out Of q cab and calling on
| his lady friends this morning instead Of getting
out of the "Black Maria and entering the
Police Court dressed in a suit Of black
cloth which was partly covered with a
handsome light overcoat. On his breast was q
yellow badge Of some club, while on his head was
stovepipe hat. He looked entirely out Of place
as he passed through the iron doors and looked
through the iron grating to see the free air out
side. He was charged with disturbing q re-
ligious meeting and carrying pistol. Union
Wesley Church, where a watch-night prayer
meeting was held, was the scene Of the disorder
! and arrest.
WHAT HAPPENED AT THE CHURCH.
Policeman Campbell produced a revolver as
evidence in the case, and the trustees and other
members of the church described what oc-
CURED. During the meeting woman was put
out of the church for not behaving herself and
Clarence appeared at the church about twenty
minutes later.
That was my girl You put out" he said, and
then he made SO much disturbance that it was
found necessary to eject him. During that act
the pistol appeared.
Clarence told the judge that he was peace
able citizen and was employed to watch Sena-
tor McPherson's house. That he explained
was why he had the pistol.
Mr.. E. B. Hay spoke good word for the de-
PENDANT. but AIR. Dumont referred to Waters
in anything but flattering terms.
JUDGE MILLER DENOUNCED PISTOL CARRYING
in his usual vigorous manner and told Waters
that more than carrying pistol should be ex-
pected Of him. In conclusion the court fined
him $50 or ninety days and said he was sorry
he could not make the fine twenty times that
amount.

UNDER THE ELECTRIC LIGHTS.
The Illumination of the White House-Hov
the Wires Are Arranged.

the Wires Are Arranged.
Sufficient electric light has been completed in
the Executive Mansion to permit Col. Ernst to
light the first floor for the New Year reception
today. In installing the electric light an effort
has been made to harmonic the fixtures with
the decorations Of the various rooms, and care
has been taken to avoid initiating any public
plans. The beautiful crystal chandeliers in the
east room and in the corridor have been pre-
served, keeping the external gas jets intact,
while the interior Of the copious refiectors con-
tains cluster Of electric lamps. Inaddition to
to these there are twelve "suns" in the ceiling,
each containing twelve lamps, which are orna-
mented in the colonial style of the room,
besides having the Baccaret CRYSTALS to cor
respond with the center chandeliers. The IA
gas jets thus give place to 226 electric incan-
descent lamps OF 20 candle power each, pro-
duclng an illumination equal to 4,2S0 candles
In the green room the original gasolier has
been utilized by placing on it fourteen electric
lamps, which has been 80 neatly done IA to give
the impression that it was contemplated in the
original design.
In the blue room, which has been newl- dec
GRATED at great expense, new side bracket ~ re
designed to match the plan Of the room an, the
center gasolier wired for lighting similar w the
one in the green room.
The old gasolier has been removed from the
iOu ioo" uTOp uAtureS one near
each corner-and two wall brackets. which
seems to be new departure in interior light
ing The effect is most pleasing. The silk
covered wires enter the room at the center of
the ceiling and are hung in graceful curves
from the center to the fixtures. This arrange
ment will in the near future be changed to
concealed wiring" as the room is to be re-
decorated in the spring.
In the private dining room there is beauti-
full center electroine and four wall brackets
carrying in all thirteen lamps. The red room
and the private dining room will be the only
rooms depending entirely on electricity for
light.
The beautiful crystal chandeliers in the cor
ridors are being wired into combination fix
lures. like those in the east room. and where
certain glass poigniards once stood there now
appear the white incandescent Edison lamps.
The wiring. except i'll the red room. is all
concealed and the daintiest of little switches
appear under the edge of draperies or on like
ornaments on the holdings. The basement
and the entire second story have vet to be
done. and some additional parts of the east
room, now being made in Europe, will be nee
essary to complete the first story. The super
lntendent of public buildings and grounds,
Col. 0. II. Ernst of the United States engineers,
assisted by Mr.. &. W. Baird of the engineer
corps of the navy, has the work in hand. and
IT Is believed that when they have finished the
White House will be the most beautifully lighted
house in the country.
