ELECTRIC LIGHTING DUCTS
Experiments With Low and High
Potential Wires.
Power Company to Stand the Ex.
lexington Extension Denied.

The president OF the Potomac Electric
ers yesterday that the two ducts to which
the District is entitled under the contract
with that company for electric street light
ing are now ready for occupancy over a
large part Of the route. He also stated that
the company had at its own expense pro-
yided two boxes, one fol fire alarm and th,,
other for police purposes, on Lafayette
Square, opposite the White House, and
suggested that they be connected with the
District service.
The boxes are set in the poles, and, be-
sides their utility for the purpose intended,
they exhibit an Illuminated street sign OF
unique design, which viii be lighted while
the lamps burn.
In order to have the boxes employed the
company offered to purchase the cable
necessary to establish Connection with the
fire alarm and police services, the District
having no appropriation now avaiIabIe for
the purpose The obejct is to test whether
or not low potential signal wires can be
carried N the same cOndaits with the high
potential wires Capt Crosby is so sure
that it can be successfully done that he is
willing to have his company bear the ex-
pCuSe of the test.
The whole design of the pole is original
with vice President Lieb, Of the company,
and the combination has never before been
used anyw here in the world. The pole
carries, iuadditiOn to the other two devices,
the electric arc light, and it is contem-
plated that the same pole shaH carry
also a fire plug in it's base, thus rendering
another street obstruction unnecessary
In regard to the application by the Po-
tOmac Company for a permit 20 extend
its lines from Ninth street 20 lexington,
Col Truesdell said yesterday that the ap-
plication of the company was not even
considered by the board, for the reason
that it was voluntarily withdrawn before
time was given 10 take it up
Capt. Crosby, president of the company,
informed a Tines reporter that the with
drawal of the application was for the
reasons given in Mr.. Lieb's letter. lie
had learned that provision was 10 be made
| for the lighting of lexington.

The second administ ration Of Mr. Cleve-
land IS now at an end. There will be but
one opinion concerning the success, bril-
liancy and gracfousness of the second So
cial reign OF Mrs. Cleveland. Although
She has been ever faithful to her duties
as mistress OF the White House, her devo
ton as a wife and a mother has been SO
remarkable AS To deserve more than royal
respect and honor from nation which is
SO justly proud of its first lady"
Mrs. Cleyeland's personal comfort has
ever been sacrificed to the wishes OF
the public, aud there has never before
been one who has been more accessible.
The hearts OF the people have gone out
to her, and, feeling that this is SO, the fa-
ugue OF numberleSs receptions and other
social functions has been counterbalanced
by the genuine pleasure 6hey have gwen her.
