PLUVIUS WORKS
WITH FUEL HEAD
TO DARKEN CITY
Beats Administrator in Inaug.
urating Lightless Nights;
Hour of Total Gloom

The lightless night prevailed in
Harrisburg to an extent never con-
templated by the fuel administra-
tion- When the series of electrical
storms which passed over the city
Played havoc with the machinery of
the Harrisburg Light and Power
company plant, the city began to
conserve light to an extent the fuel
administrator would never dare to
suggest
Street lights went out early in the
evening. and came on only fitfully
until the service was fully resumed
near midnight. The entire city was
without street light for an hour in
the evening, and many parts of the
city Were without street lighting for
several hours. Many houses and
buildings were lightless during the
early evening.
The storm charged the air with
electricity to such an extent that
the hlgh power conducting wires
We're oVercharged, resulting in the
burning out of wires. About o'clock
shortly after repairs had been made.
a bolt of lightning struck near the
Aght and Power Company plant,
wrecking part of the system. 1t was
nearly four hours before repairs
were made. Shortly before midnight
street lighting was resumed, and the
residences and buildings began to get
service little later.
Complaints Are Few
There were few complaints sbe-
cause of lack of service for electric
lighting last night. 1t was known to
be the first lightless night, and the
dwellers in the city have been so i'm
bued with the ideas of patriotic
sacrifice that not a word was utter
ed against the darkness by those who
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-07-25

thought the collapse of the lighting
system was due to conservation er-
forts of the fuel administration.
In the business section those who
were abroad said this morning it
was impossible to see a few feet
ahead into the enveloping gloom. 1t
was impossible to discern where
sidewalks ended and streets began,
while buildings were only shadowy
blots against gloomy background.
Those compelled to go about during
the storm had to pick their way
slowly and without the aid of guild
ing lights. Cigar ends glowed like
lightning bugs" jim the gloom, and
were almost the only illumination.
Flashlights and lanterns were press
ed into service. while houses piped
for gas were Illuminated with that
means of light.
Kerosene and candles came into
their own last night. while many
dweIlers went to bed in the early
hours of the evening.
When the light service was finally
resumed, the city resumed only a
trifie of its customary nightly bril-
liancy Street lights burned. but that
practically was the only outside i'll
Elimination. Theater signs, theater
entrances, hotel and restaurant en-
dows and outside decorative lights.
were conspicuous by their absence
of illumination. 1t was lightless night
and a sample of what four nights
each week will be hereafter.
Ross A. Hickok, county fuel ad-
ministrator, said this morning that
some confusion regarding the light
ing of display windows was appar-
ent last night. The order declares
that light for all store, show or dis
plays windows, or signs in show win
dows, shall be discontinued on
Monday. Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday evenings of each week.
and under no consideration may any
lights be burned in the windows be-
tween sunrise and sunset. Viola
ton of the order will be punished
by a $1,000 fine or two years in
prison, or both. A fuel administra-
ton agent will make a round of the
city tonight to see that this order
is obeyed. it was said by the fuel
administrator.

Yankees Shatter Hopes
of Kaiser at Thierry

With the Americans at the Marne.
July 25.-From the aged civilians
who were left at Chateau Thierry
details were learned of the German
occupation of the city and of a visit
by the Kaiser. He arrived on the
Marne on June 8. He expected to
stand on Hill 204 and watch his
troops debcUch from Belleau wood,
reach the Paris highway in the rear
of the prepared French positions
and capture La Forte. then Meaux
and finally Paris.
But the sudden attack of the
American marines on Belleau wood
broke up this German plan and dis
organized tbs German reserves. The
civilians were kept in the cellars fer
thIrty-sik hours. The Kaiser while
ia Chateau Thierry stopped at the
Elephant Hotel. At night he. slept
i'm the hotels wine cellar. The ho-
tel is now in ruins.

MAKING TRAVEL A LUXURY

AS affected by the increased costs
OF travel under Director General Nc
Adoo's order, railroad passenger traf-
fic is divided into three classes.
The users of communication tickets
in suburban travel fare the best,
with an increase of ten per cent.
The longer distance traveller in a
day coach fares next best at fiat
rate OF three cents mile, whether
he uses a single ticket or mileage.
Where the rate had been two cents,
which had become seldom, this viii
be an increase of SO per cent Where
the rate was 2 IL cents, which was
becoming rather common, the in.
crease viii be at least 25 per cent.

ones attention is divided between the

ing make our heavy clothes seem un-
bearable, and so it is with deeper
interest than ever if possible that
we study the latest styles and ap-

perhaps a tunic or draped skirt from
some place else.
