A week ago last Tuesday the 
Board of Selectmen sent an official 
Welsbach 
Lighting Co. in Philadelphia to the 
effect that the town would bring 
suit against the concern on Wednes- 
day of this week. All the year there 
have quibblings back and forth with 
promises, indefinite and definite, that 
the lighting service would be up to 
the standard guaranteed by the 
Welsbach Co. in their contract. 
Messrs. Dean and Cheever signed 
the letter which was sent to the pres- 
ident of the company last week, 
Chairman Meldrum being absent 
from the meeting. The president of 
the company came to Manchester 
this week and gave assurance that 
the system would be taintained in 
the best manner possible, and now 
the town is waiting to see just what 
will happen, In all probability the 
town will have to sue the Welsbach 
people to make them tive up to their 
contract. The company is handicap- 
ped, presumably, by the increased 
cost of gasoline, but that is no rea- 
son why the town should suffer the 
consequences. In street parlance, 
the Welsbach people are “squealing.” 
It is cheaper for them to have the 
price of lights deduced from their 
bill when lights are reported out than 
to have the lights burning and there- 
fore consuming gasoline at the ad- 
‘vanced price which they are forced 
to pay. We do not think Manches- 
ter people, as a whole, are in sym- 
pathy with the movement to have 
electric lights installed in place of 
the present parkway system. The 
matter will probably be aired in 
town meeting. 
One result of this latest agitation 
is a change in lamplighters. Frank 
H. Dennis is to-be succeeded on 
March 1, by Antone Silva of For- 
est St. Personally, we do not feel 
that the fault lies with the lamp- 
lighter; it is not he who furnishes 
an inferior grade of gasoline. 
“ANGELS IN ART.” 
Preasinc Lecture BrerorE ARBELLA

A most delightful lecture on “An- 
gels in Art” by Fraulein Antonie 
Stolle was enjoyed by the members 
of the Arbella club and their friends 
at the Manchester Town hall last 
Tuesday afternoon. The 
fully came up to the expectations of 
the audience; they found her a wo- 
man who could impart her knowl- 
lecturer.

edge of pictures and paintings in a 
manner wholly pleasing. “Most of 
us have a great love for art,” said 
the speaker, “but if we copied a pic- 
ture merely for money it would not 
be a success. We must look for the 
spirit of the picture and then com- 
bine our own spirit with it. Without 
this spirit, the picture is useless. 
“Many of us can paint, but very 
few people contribute new ideas. 
They all seem to adhere to one idea, 
—hence their mistake, for if we do 
not have new ideas in painting it 
does not pay us to go on with our 
work. If, however, we have some- 
thing new in mind, it will help us 
to advance ourselves and to cover 
more ground.” 
Fraulein Stolle showed many fine- 
ly colored views of pictures of Na- 
ples, Carpe and Rome. She empha- 
sized the ‘‘angel in art,” and told her 
audience a great deal about the com- 
position of paintings that was too 
delightfully real to be technical, and 
too technical for her listeners to 
have known before,
