To be "swell" an Ulster should be of generous length, form- fitting and made of quiet but good warm material. That's the only kind we find nse at that. Our pricea are $15, and $25.

TO SUBMIT TO ARBITRATORS FOR IN- I VESTIGATION THEIR CLAIMS AS TO THE GREATER ECONOMY AND SAFETY TO THE CONSUMER OF THE WEBT1NGHOUSE CONVERTER SYSTEM AS USED IN THIS CITY BY THEM An open letter, of which the following la a copy, wi sent on Friday, December 20. to the Edison Electric Illuminating Company by the United Electric Light and Power Company and the United 8tatea Illuminating Company: Omci or thk Ukitkd Electric Light awd Powbb Com pant, 5V Libkbtt Nbw Deo. 20,1889. 2b the Prttident of the EdUon BUetrta Illuminating Cumpany ot New York: Dkab Sib: You have for aome time, by lending your I and to our ouatomera with Incorrect and misleading atatementa and apreadlng broadcaat through your and paid agitators groaaly incorrect and eren abaolutely false information, been at-' tempting to prejudice the public againat the converter I system of incandescent lighting aa uaed by ua in thia city. You have even gone ao far aa to attempt to influence the Board of Health againat ua.

We areoppoaed to any warfare except that which la open and I straightforward, and therefore to aettle the question to the aatiafaction of the companies, the users of incandescent lighta and the bewildered public we make the following challenge: We challenge your company to a full and careful I Investigation of the relative economy and safety to the customer of the direct current throe-wire system of incandescent lighting aa uaed by your company and the Westinghouse converter ayatem uaed by ua; the Investigation to be conducted by a board of aeven experts, three to be chosen by each aide and the seventh by the alx so chosen: one on each aide to be familiar with inaurance matters and the othera practical electricians. We expect to prove by such aa investigation 1st. That conductors carrying high-tension alter- 1 nating currents have been and can be aalely and succeaafully operated under ground. 2d. That the eating house converter system, as I used by us, insures absolute aafety to the uaer of incandescent lighta.

aa the converter or tMnsformer placed on the premises of each of our customers serves as an impassable harrier against fire or accidents and I reduces the current of the street mains to a harmless current, usually of 50 volts, or one-fourth the intensity of the current Introduced into the premises of the oonsumer under your system. 3d. That the converter or transformer, accomplishing aa it doea a complete separation of the currenta in- the street from the wires on the premiaee of the consumer, la absolutely essential for safe incandescent lighting. 4th. That under our ayatem the quantity of current I used by the conaumer can be meaaured by our meter with the gTeateat accuracy, and that the meaaurementa on tho meter can be read by every cnatomer.

With regard to ths Edison system We expect to prove: let That the Ediaon underground system ia dangerous in the extreme because of its leakage, which may I at any time cause a fire on the premises of the consumer. as shown by the large number of fires which have been cauaed by that system in this and other cities. 2d. That your buslneaa can only be rendered safe and the great fire rlak incident to Its uae removed by the adoption of the converter or transformer ayatem 3d. That your company haa no meter which is re- i liable, and that as a result its bills rendered to its cus- tomers are largely a matter of guesswork.

We will be glad to aubmlt to the committee any I other questions aa to the relative merlta of the two ays- tema which you would wiah to have investigated. In order that our position may not be misunderstood I by the public we have aent copies ot thiattetter to the dally papers for publication. We do not fear publicity as we feel confident that the converter ayatem, which baa coma into almoat oniveraal in Europe, to the virtual exclusion of Edison direct-current system, will not suffsr from a fair Investigation by fair-minded men.
