IN T E DARK.
The Incandescent Electric Lights
Suddenly Snuffed Out.

On Saturday evening, between 6
and Z o'clock, all the incandescent
lights in the city were snuffed out
in the twinkling of an eye, and
stores, offices and private resi-
dences left as it were, in outer
darkness. AS such experiences
have occasionally occurred for
brief intervals, everybody thought
''the lights will soon be turned on
again." but this expectation prov
ed vain this time; and then there
was a hurrying to and fro every
where in the. dark to provide
candles, resurrect old kerosene
lamps and every other eXpedient
to meet the unlocked. for emer-
gency. Many embarrassing ex-
periences are related. both in
business and domestic circlems,
which space would fail us to men
tion.
The cause of the trouble was
the burning out of the coils in the
armature and commutator of the
dynamo at the power house and
was one which could not be i'm
mediately remedied. For more
than year the incandescent dy-
namo has been overloaded and run
beyond its capacity, of which con-
dition, repeated notice had been
given to the Mayor and Board of
Aldermen by Supt. Gull, but
nothing had been done to properly
remedy the situation. The Am
pere meter used in regulating the
machine registers 100, and the
liimt has been regularly exceeded
for many months. Supt. Gull
estiamtes that the excess beyond
this limit has been from 16 to Is
Amperes for the last year and
hence the sudden giving away of
the machine Saturday night, as
final result of the overstrain.
1t may be stated here, that at
the first meeting of the new city
council, Supt. Gull reported the
situation of things, and the pre-
liminary steps were taken by the
board to relieve the situation; but
this required time, and the break
down came before the needed
changes could be introduced. A
taking of the census of incandes-
cent lights in the city and the in
PRODUCTION of the meter system
was the plan mapped out.
Supt. Gull was promptly dis
patched to New Orleans Sunday
morning by the power house com
mittee and made arrangements
there with the General Electric
Co., of that city, to at once make
the necessary repairs on the ma
chine. He returned Sunday night
and on Monday morning early the
armature, which weighed 1900
pounds, was expressed to the
Crescent City. 1t will be put in
good shape and returned by ex-
press as soon as done, and it is
to have it in place again
and the lights turned on once
more by tomorrow Thursday
night. Meanwhile, city resi-
dents have adjusted themselves to
the temporary inconvenience as
best they can and things are crock
ing along" as in "oId times.''

Of the ordinance"

declaration Tor the passage Of the
ordinance.
Says Mrs Albring: EVERY mem
Der of the w. C. r. u. thinks that
all screen doors should be removed
and the curtains taken down from
tho boxes. Spokane needs this law
and the w. c. T. u. unanimously
prays for 1t. There ID no necessity
to conceal the drinker--he must be
exposed"
Mrs. Albring cited the fact that
when recently in Seattle she had oc-
casion to dine in private box In a
restaurant and noted that In the
Queen City no screens or curtains
were found necessary.
At q meeting yesterday afternoon
OF the Union Park w. c. T. U. the
question of restaurant and saloon
boxes came UP for discussion. It was
the unanimous opinion that the pro-

posed ordinance should become law.
Speaking on the subject Mrs. III. L.
Salnave. president Of the Union Park
union. said:
while no resolution was passed at
yesterdays meeting. the members are
all in favor of taking out the doors,
curtains or screens in restaurant and
saloon boxes. My own opinion is
that these boxes are an evil which
can not be overestimated, especially
In the privacy 1t allows young people
of both sexes to obtain liquor. With
the taking away Of the doors and
curtains publicity would be given and
young people especially prevented
from being ruined"
Many other members OF the w. C.
T. U. expressed themselves in similar
vein and called attention to the re-
publican platform on which Mayor
Boyd was elected. containing this
plank. which the mayor agreed to en-
forcei
I'VE demand the adjustment of
boxes in saloons where women are
permitted to resort; we insist upon

streets and the public eye and wher-
ever situated that they be kept under
