Mn TIL STREET IN
A ROSY GLOW
Illuminated With Red Fire
and New Arc
Lights.
Paper Lanterns and Waving
Banners Gave It a Poetic
Air.
Business Men Who Got Out of the
Rut and Will Make Ready for the
Tween ieth C>ntury.

Ninth street was in rosy glow last
night with red fire, Roman candles,
paper lanterns, vari-colored streamers and
bonfires, while the stores on both sides of
the street, from Howard 10 Market, were
brilliantly Illuminated and the wares
most temptingly displayed.
Although Ninth street was not the first
to adopt the modern system of illumina-
ton she is unexcelled in the splendor OF
the celebration of that event. ALI down
the line, on both sides, the mellow glow
of Japanese lanterns, the fireworks, shoot
ing stars and scattering sparks against the
black background of the sky, the dense
crowds of men, women and children on
the sidewalks, the strains of music from
the band wagon-all were evidence that
the business men will not be found behind
the times when the sun rises upon the
twentieth century.
John Hayden, butcher, was the first to
introduce electric lights In his place of
business on that street, for he saw that
the expense of the innovation would be
more than repaid by the increased bust
ness which an attractive display always
insures.
Foremost among those who moved in
the matter of having the street properly
lighted was Mr.. Owens.

owners and business men who subscribed
