Schenectady Illuminating company TO
exhibit the new system OF street light
ing With alternating enclosed SERIES arc
lamps. The lamps appear to be very
efficient. The Hight is absolutely steady
and without flicker as the arc is pro-
tected from the wind and weather by
an enclosing glebea This globe serves
, also to diffuse and distribute the light
| along the street. -
"These lamps are of the same type
as those which have been in service
on Dock street for a number of months
but are more powerful. The Dock
street lights are-the-sam as lamps
| used in stores for indoor illuminations,
but these later lamps are of the regular
type for street lighting. The new en-
closed arc lamp does not give the
sharp contrast of the old lamp, does
not flicker and so lights more eff
| fectiyely the space midway between
lamps where illumination is most need
ed. 1t does not give binding glare,
so that one will be glad to have such
a light before his own house and not
insist on its being placed in front of
some nearby neighbor.
'lncandescent street lamps can also
be operated from the new sytem wher-
ever such lamps may be desired
Lamps of this type ARE now in use in
New York, Boston, Brooklyn. st. Louis
and In some 30 or 40 other cities"
In recent message to the Common
Council of the city of Boston, Mayor
Quincy said,refering to the new lamp:
'',rhe decided advantages of the enclos-
ed arc lamp over The open arc have
now been fully demonstrated in prac-
tice and are recognized by the highest
authorities. The light is distributed
to a greater distance and is free from
the conditions which cause interruption
In the service of open arcs, particular
ly In severe storms and which require
frequent inspection and renewal Of
carbons.' Other cities using the lamp
speak in the highest terms of it's i'm
provement over the open are. Should
the lamps be placed throughout the
city 1T will make Schenectady the lead
ing city in the country in municipal
lighting"
ST. Louis, Mo-, has between 230O to
2000 of these lamps in service seven
nights a week.

Service.

Early last summer The Northern
Ohio Traction company commenced a
very careful investigation of the most
modern systems of arc lighting for
streets and commercial use, with the
idea of abandoning the present sys.
TEN and adopting the most modern
methods and appliances, The inves-
LEGATIONS were carried on by the best
electric light experts to be found; and
the series alternating enclosed arc
lamps as now used almost exclusively
in the East Were very carefully in
spected. They also asked the Akron
City Commissioners to send a com.
mittee East to look over several sys-
TENS and report on same. The commit
tee consisted Of one member of the
Board of Commissioners, and the Me-
chanical Engineer. They visited Pitts
burg, Pa, Newark n. j., New York
city, Hartford, Conn.,, and Schenecta-
dy, N. Y, and after carefully consider
ing the systems they inspected, report
ed as follows:-
1--WE have thoroughly investigated
and inspected both the General Elec-
trio and Westinghouse systems Of ser
les alternating enclosed arc lamps,
and we are thoroughly convinced that
such n system is a great Improvement
over the old arc lamp, for the follow
ing reasons:
"The light is better distributed is
not so glaring to the eye, and does nor
cast any shadows on the street under
the lamp, and we have so reported to
the Board of City Commissioners, and
our report was this day adopted by
them, on the strength of the above
report" Upon it's being adopted, The
Northern Ohio Traction company i'm
mediately placed orders FOR about
100000 worth Of machines and lamps,
making it necessary 10 enlarge the
present plant in all it's branches. work
on which is now being rushed with
all possible haste, in order to get the
new system in operation at the earliest
possible moment. This also pecessl-
tated the rebuilding OF their arc lines
all over the city, as we'll as their CON-
mercial and incandescent circuits.
The new system will be OF the West

will be within per cent of absolute

Punish the Slanderers.

There is entirely too much idle
gossip, which is often vile SANDER,
INDUCED in these days in all COM
munities. 1t will be a relief to
know that there is some -protec-
ton from the tongues of such
people and that juries are not
Slow to punish the guilty. A few
days ago a long-tongued SANDER
Gus woman of Jennings was found
guilty of besmirching the charac-
ter of one of her neighbors. Last
week, Hart Sandoz of Opelousas,
after a long trial was awarded
damages in the sum of $4,000
against E. P. Veazie, an attorney
at that place, for malicious pro-
secution. Sandoz was charged
with entering the room of Yea
zie's daughter in the night time.
A jury found him not guilty, and
we believe the evidence fully war
ranted this finding. If guilty of
such an offence, no punishment is
too severe, but to be charged with
it on mere idle hearsay is a tel
rible imputation, and it is but
just that an innocent man can
have some pecuniary redress for
such attempts to destroy his
character.-Abbeville Meridional ,

The Road Tax Carried.

The 3-mills special tax for
roads has been voted by Ouachi-
ia, wards l, 4 and s going against
it, the remaining six wards for it..
The majorities in number and
property values are decisive.
We congratulate the people of
the parish on the outlook for inn
proved highways. We congrat-
ulate wards | and 4 which went
against the tax, on the generous
promise of road official to give
their people good roads at once.
We congratulate the hill people.
So also are the merchants of our
town and country to be congrat-
ulated on the prospect for easy
travel and hauling.
Ouachita is the banner parish.
She is going to improve her high
ways her real estate values will
increase with the influx of new
people which good roads always
bring her farmers and mer-
chants and all her people will
take on new appearance. The
light of q new day has fallen
across this peoples path.
For Father Enaut and Mr..

were brave enough to vote the

The fact that the anti-Robert-
son delegation participated in
the convention after the ruling of
the chair on the question of ad-
hitting the vote of Tangipahoa,
that they demanded a roll call on
the motion for a recess and ac-
tually voted as their names were
called on that motion serves alb
solutely to establish their status
as holters, when after thus par
ticipating they declined to further
take part in the proceeding. Had
they left the convention imme-
diately upon the announcement of
the Chair in the Tangipahea case
they might reasonably have con-
tended that they left owing to an
improper ruling, but having re-
mained and participated in a sub
sequent roll call ordered upon
their demands, it becomes ap-
parent that they left because they
were in the minority and they
were determined to rule or ruin.
AS matter of fact it was the
subject of universal comment up
on the streets during the two
days prior to their bolt that the
anti-Robertsen delegates had come
to the convention to either con-
troll it OF bolt, and every step they
took but confirmed this convection
