THE WONDERS OF ELECTRICITY.
NEW ONE PUZZLES THE BOARD OF
ALDERMEN - THE MYSTICAL
ELECTRIC SHIRT

A story was published IN these columns yester-
day OF the inexplicable conduct of Alderman Muh.
who introduced In the Board A resolution which
nobody could understand and then walked out OF
tne room and left his helpless colleagues to deal
ut.b - as hest they might The resolution was
that r T Mcclure be allowed 20 wear an electric
shirt IN the streets of Now-York This raised more
problors than the Board of Aldermen FELT Ike
settling without referring the resolution TO the
Committee on Highways. 20 which g. seemed N
coma nearer than % any other committee.
or course tho frst question that would arise
would ho why anybody should need the special
permission NJ the Board of Aldermen 20 wear any
sort Of shirt he pleased There have been some
shirts seen n Broadway Of late that never could
have been passed by the Municipal Art Society II
they had been referred II. 10 doubt they
ought 70 be bat even Aldermen have been known
% wear such shirts as these The fact OF the MAJ
ter being referred 70 the Board OF Aldermen looked
as II there were some danger 70 others than the
vearer IN an electric shirt = X were something
quite different from electric belt or an electric
plaster
And this suggested the second question Of what
an electric shirt was. anyway. IL might be some
sort OF medicinal affair. or e might be sh.r'
with the front decorated with electric lights. The
latter sort o. garment mas already been worn 70
some extent IN Broadway. and it was not generally
Understood that r. required special license, any
more than the carrying Of a lighted cigar. And
then again why should r. F. Mcclure have the
sole privilege OK wearing an electric shirt II ne
wears one everybody will want 10 wear one. and
the committee viii never have time TO find our
how full u holes the pavement OF Broadway IS.
= ia 20 be hoped that the Committee on Highway
viii ind out what an electric shirt IS, and then.
according as il proves 10 be something socially
possible or not. will forbid Mr. Mcclure 10 wear It
or will permit everybody % wear T.
