job lot Coiinellmcii
as Shenandoah com
po.od of tho sumo kind
of material with just
as much good sense
no more. ami about

brains, courage and in
tegrity. The taxpayers
have just had served up for their digestion,
by the daily papers, a n ee little morsel in
the shape of "a light that cheats;" one which
won t "turn on," in fact a sort of a "never
give-broadwith one-fish ball" light, for
which tho borough authorities have Iiciii
robbing tho treasury to pay, It is proposed
now to "turn oil the light" in earnest so that
the pwiplo can at least sua w hat sort of a lot
"f dummies they have in their leglslativ.
boily, ctllcd 11 council.
llliN'KVOLUKT LOT OF aKXTLKJUHC.
In the first place, let me say, that the
Edison Illuminating Company which heat
tho Anthracite Klectrie Light Company out
of the contract for keeping the borough in
the dark, and eapeeially its Couneilnien is
composed of some of our leading progiossive,
homo-loving,' self sacrificing citiwus and
christian gentlemen, tomo of w om,
holicvc, really believed thoy wero going to
give tho borough what it contracted for, to
nit: an ekctri i light of 2000-caiidlu power
for $90 per year for eacli aro fixture, or lamp
ind as there aro one hundred anil seven
lamps in the town the school boy tan oasiI
ailculate how tho IMison company would
scoop in $10,105.00 of the people's ducats for
the year ending Februaiy 10th, 1603. Let
me state, en patanl, as tho Frenchman says,
that the borough ha paid its light hills with
commendable regularity, having ordertd u
bill of $811.00 to bo paid last Tuesday night,
just after the committeo on Light, thiough
Mr. Seaman (who is nervy and hal to do
Chairman Puglt's work and present Un
report, as Mr. P. was unuiual to a task of
uch magnitudo) had thrown in the bomb
shell of a report which proved how wo do
nof bask iu all tho light we pav for those
wintry nights.
m: was couhaolous,
Mr. Seaman is not afraid. He cirno to tho
front and took a weak-kneed chairman's
place and prosentcd tho report of an Inves
tigation which established tho fact that the
benevolent gentlemen of tho Elortric Illum
inating Company wero gottlng paid for what
they had uot furnished. It all eame about in
tins way. Several and there are a few
progressive borough fathers took it into their
heads that tho lights from different lamps
were unequal and none oi them gave out
what was claimed by tho light company, a
power equal to 2,000 candles. In truth the
company, in tho opinion of thcte certain
progressive couucilmeu, wero hiding their
lights under as many bushels, so to remark,
and they organized a secret investigation
with Carl Herring, tho well known Phlladcl- j
phia electrician, for n guide. The result was
that Mr. Herring and what he don't know
about such things is not worth finding out
discovered that tho spiggot of tho treasury
was continually turned on whilo tho Kdlson
Illuminating Company's light was shut off to
vory great oxtent. Out of forty-six tests
and thirteen lamps measured Mr. Herring
discovered that instead of 2,000-candle power
the average was only 003, and one lamp was
only giving 150, a loss of 1,550 caudle power
in ono place, at 5th and Arch stroels. What
tho citizens of that particular locality have
done to the Morough Council to subject them
to such harh treatment is not reported, but
enough wa slfowh to confirm the investiga
tors and taxpayers in the b-lief that we are
being cheated by a set of gentlemen who
were brought up in 11 school far different than
thoje in which the Boss Tweeds of other
cities were reared.
THK WAY OUT.
I can only say this iu concluding
this
abject. There is ono way out of the
dililoulty. Curl Herring is the scientist who
recently conducted a similar investigation in
Elizabeth, N. J which resulted In sur
charging the light company with many
thousand dollais, and if pushed the result iu
l'oUsvillo must be the same. Now as the
contract is for five years, let tlie Electric
light Comiuy jwy back to the borough
$6,000, clean its latniw, put lu stronger
dynamos and give ua 2,000-candle power. If
tins Is not done, in the face of the damniug
facts brought to light by the investigation,
the people wiU riro in their might and force
their repretentalivesiu Council to bouien and
do their duty to tho tax payors. So far as
your correspondent is concerned ho proposes
to seo that 110 councilman iluuks iu this
mportant matter, without exposure in these
columns. I make no threats, but 1 "am
fter" every fellow who allows himself to
forget his duty. Every mau who is button
holed against his duty iu this matter will he
exposed. The light will be turned on In
earnest If there is any flunking or basic-
idlng from duty and we now call upon
every man to gt dowu to his meat aud be on
l.ll gw
hand to take u hand on the night of tho 17th '
1
inst., when tlio ll;ht subject will come up for
, action. I happen to know sorao of tho men
who aro wcnK in such an emergency and
know somo who aro strong ami tho latter
proposo to see to It tlio former help thorn do
something at the next meeting to right n
wrong.

'A ltreezy Time" r.ust Xlglit.
Tho slzo of the audience that greeted Fitz
& Webster's " A Urcezy Time" at Ferguson's
theatre last night was not at all common
surato with the style and character of tho
play. From the moment the curtain iu-o
until the play was over the audience was
convulsed with laughter. The play in itself
is a plotless farce comedy and consists mainly
of sparkling repartee and bright, witty and
catchy sayings. During tho play a number
of specialties woro introduced. As Heube t
Jf rrifli Id Mr. Fitz is away abovo and beyond
all adverso ciiticism, and not only looks the
Yankee farmer, but acts it up to nature.
Miss Webster, in the dual rolo of Daisy
LigUlfool and Cholly Fait weather, demon
strated her versatility and ability, nnd
sustain ed the many good things that havo j
boen said of her. Want of space alone for.
bids individual mention, for the entiro cast
was above tho average. During the ovening
a unmbor of musical specialties were intro
duced. Tho Tennis Quintette was excellent
U3was also tho Maudoliu nlaviue. Miss
Webster played a Saxaphoue solo, and with
Mr. Fitz played several coruet duets which
were encored several times! Manager Fergu
son is straining every uorvo to book none but
tho best plays, and Shenandoah people should
support him, and not become possessed with
the idea that because once in a whilo a bad
company is booked that all aio bad. Jlauy
veteran managers aro hoodwiuked at times,
and of course fake companies will creep iu at
times. Tho next attraotion will he "Muggs'
Lauding," a first-class play by a first-cla
comiiany, and which was only seaured at
great trouble and expense. It will lie here on
Wednesday ovening, January lltli.
