PRIVATE LIGHTING PLANT.
J. ID. Rockefeller Finds 1t too
Expensive for His Purse.

Tarrytown, N. Y, Aug. AFTER
spending 1000 and considerable time
in experimenting, John ID. Rockefeller
has decided that, so far as he Is con-
cened the operation Of a private cleo
trio lighting plant is a failure, and he
signed the contract with the local light
ing company to light his estate at Po-
cantlco hills.
As soon as the new service is begun
the private plant will be for sale at q
bargain price It requires about 800
large incandescent lambs to light the
mansion grounds and private park and
they win be Installed at once. The pri-
waite plant was put In q year ago. The
dynamos were set up IN one end OF the
barn.
After operating II short time Mr..
Rockefeller discovered that the new
system was costing more than the cleo
tricty formerly supplied by the lighting
company. There was also the constant
danger Of burning the barns, which cost
about 5000, 900.

require adjustment. The promotion ac-
cording to seniority of telegraphers to
