-Since.W ednesday evening there has
been a new light in Butler-several Of
them--a line of Electric Arc lights from
the West Penn depot, up Jefferson to
Main, up and down Main to Wayne, and
then over to the P d W. depot They
are the Thompson q Huston light Of Lynn
Mass, and whether or not they will con
tinue to shine upon us depends upon the
action of Council. Heretofore the electric
lights used in this town have been of the
Incandescent system. and these of the Arc
system require differently constructed dy
namos and separate wires. The bright
white light makes our natural gas lights
look like the old tallow candle light as
compared with that of n good lamp, and
the cost is said to be 90 to SO per month
per light. If the town can afford to keep
up ten or a dozen OF them it is probable
that enough more will be taken by indi-
viduals to maintain plant.
Lots of Wraps, Blankets and furs.
But you should come in and see the
Price. They will astonish you
