What has become of Edison? What
lias lie been doing lately, what is lie
doing or what is he about to do?
These are questions which have been
repeatedly asked during the past two
or three years, hut never satisfactorily
answered.
Billy Lewis of Kansas City, an old
and intimate friend of " The WizarJ,"
was in town a few days during the
past week, says the Cincinnati iv'/i
--quirir, and enlightened some anxious
inquirers.
"Edison is by 110 means an extin
guished light," said he. " That brain
of his is as active and fertile as ever.
liut he isn't talking so much about
his plans as was formerly his custom,
lie has innumerable ' big things' on
hand, and not a few completed; but
the completion of an invention no
longer implies making it known to
the public, according to Edison's new
code. He has had enough of that.
For a long time it was his custom to
good naturedly grant interviews, out
lining his plans and ideas. The re
sult was, in most cases, a hint to imi
tators and adapters, which enabled
them to compete in the manufacture
of Edison's inventions as soon as a
model could be obtained. Long and
bitter litigation ensued, which, as a
whole, was disastrous to Edison to the
extent of hundreds of thousands, per
haps millions of dollars. The harpies
were prepared for him, and could
manufacture the instruments and ma
chinery almost, if not quite as cheaply
and quickly as he could. He then
found, too, that a United States patent
does not protect.
" Aside from the cost of legal pro
ceedings, the sale of his products was
greatly injured by thir underhand ri
valry. In no other country has he
been treated so shabbily as in his na
tive land. Most foreign governments
stipulated that he manufacture al]
parts Of HIB several ItivrnMons fn tltefi
country before they would grant him
patents, but they protected him when
he did so. Not so. in the United
States. He speaks the truth when he
says that he has never made a dollar
cut of his patents in this country.
" Hereafter Mr. Edison will work
out his ideas to a finish and manufac
ture an abundant supply of the goods
before vouchsafing publicity. That is
oue reason for bis apparent inactivity-
"Another cause of his tilence was
liis recent experience in Wall street.
So long as he entrusted the manage
ment of the various branches of his
enterprises to his associates and trusted
lieutenants all went all. But just as
soon as the companies were consoli
dated and the stock listed on the ex
change, the sharpers put the knife
into nim and he lost the supreme con
trol which he had always held over
his own business. The experience was
enough to discourage any man. But
has it not been the common fate of
genius?
" A few days ago there was not a
happier financial family on earth than
the Edison group. The inventor re
warded those who had aided and stood
by him in his struggling and obscure
days by presenting each with an in
terest in his particular branch—an
eighth, a sixteenth or a thirty-second,
as the case might be. The work was
apportioned off according to the sev
eral specialties of the men. There
was Ed. Johnson, who was made Busi
ness Manager and later Vice President.
Charlie Batchelor, who came to this
country to set up the machinery for
the Clark Thread Company in Newark,
N. J., was given charge of the ma
chine works or dynamo manufacturing
plant. The mechanic who first did
the delicate work on Edison's tele
phone took the responsibility of the
lamp factory. Old man Kreusi, as he
was affectionately called, was general
factotum, and to him every knotty
problem was referred. When, after a
lengthy consulalion, they were all
' stuck,' some one would suggest,
' la;t's ask Kreusi.' No matter how
difficult the problem, they always got
an answer, and it invariably proved to
be correct.
" Edison rewarded these men liber
ally, for they all had been very poor
with hiin. The man who first made
his telephone (whose name I cannot
recall) lived in a dingy little house on
Wooster or Mercer street, in New
York city. The front room was his
workshop and he occupied the rear
rooms with his wife and three children.
His only assistant was a hoy. Often
times he had to ' scrimp' his own
family in order to pay the boy's wages
promptly. But that was characteris
tic. Then, and ever afterward, he
made it a rule of his life that every
employe of bis should receive his
wages in lull on Saturday night, even
though he himself had to go without
money. After E lison had made a
number of telephones Prefident Orton,
of the Western Union, gave him an
or. IT for 000 of them, provided they
were delivered on or before a certain
date. Edison immediately accepted
and signed a cun'.ract.
' I don't think you can do it J
Edison,' said Mr. Orton. ' Tin* time
is too sliort. However, we will he
lenient.'
•' The instruments were all delivered
more than a week before the time
mentioned in the contract.
" This was the real beginning of Edi
son's prosperity,"continued Mr. Lewis,
" The British government soon ad
vertised for bids on 11, Odd telephone-.
Mr. Oilon advised Edison to contest
for the contract. The Siemens and
other great European manufacturers
were in the Held; but Edison's figures
were below theirs, and bis date for de
livery a week earlier, so he was awarded
the contract. His defeated rivals pre.
dieted disaster for him, but, notwith
standing the time consumed in transit
across the Atlantic ocean, the 11,000
telephones were delivered several days
ahtad of the contract time. This ex
ploit gave Edison a world wide reputa
tion, and he soon had more orders
than he could till.
" The same man who bad charge of
this work also made the tirst phono
graph. Ed Johnson was in Buffalo
lecturing 011 the telephone. He acci
dently let fall a remark to the efl'cct
that Edison would one day make a
talking machine. The audience
cheered this announcement, and
at the conclusion of the lecture
crowded about Johnson and insisted
that he should have Edison do so
right away and exhibit the machine in
Buffalo tirst. This reception rather
rattled Johnson, who telegraphed his
chief: "You must make the talking
machine at once. The people are
crazy about it." The next day he re.
ceived this laconic reply: ' Come
home!' Johnson packed his grip and
went to New York. In three days
'hereafter the phonograph was a ma
terialized fact.
" Edison owed a great deal to John
son's business energy and sagacity,
and rewarded him generously. John
s 11 was sent to Europe, and there ob
tained all the foreign patents, and
made contracts for the erections of
works in every country where the
laws required that the manufacturing
should be done on native soil. He
then returned to this country, selected
the most apt and capable among Edi
son's pupils and look them to Eu
rope, giving to each domain over the
territory of a certain nation.
" Charley Batchelor likewise con
tributed invaluable aid to Edison, and
Edison made him a rich man. There
is probably no finer mechanical elec
trician in the world than Uatchelor.
" For many years not one of these
men knew exactly how wealthy lie
was. Edison, of course, was the great
est gainer, but when asked as to the
amount of his riches and income,
would always reply,' No idea.' At the
end of every quarter the men having
charge of the various departments sent
a check to each of the other partners-
No statement accompanied it, and
during the existence of this informal
copartnership no one ever asked to ex
amine the books of another. It was
only when outsiders were admitted
that this happy family arrangement
was interrupted and finally smashed."
"What is Edison at work on now?"
was asked of Mr. Lewis.
" You surely couldn't expect me to
tell you even if I knew," was the reply.
" I do know generally that he has two
or three things, more or less forward (
with which he hopes to round out his
career, but even his own mathemati
cians cannot guess their nature.
Among his minor experiments are
some designed to aid in the efficiency,
accuracy and speed of signaling at sea.
He has already devised a microphone
covered metallic tube for whistling
steam signals under water, which can
be heard, by means of similar appar
atus, at a distance of thirty miles. He
has also been experimenting with a
view of using captive balloons for tele
graphiug at sea. This is on the prin
ciple of induction. He has already
mude a current ' jump' (to speak ex
pressively in the absence of a better
verb) from the top of one telegraph
pole to that of another, a distance of
175 feet. That is, by running wires
from telegraph instruments to the top
of poles 65 feet high, he was enabled
to telegraph from one to the other
without a connecting wire. This is
the basis of his captive balloon theory.
The superiority of water as a conduc
tor of sound waves, exemplified in the
boy's trick of cracking stones while
bathing, suggested the steam whistle
scheme.
" No, I cannot outline the great
things Edison is now incubating. If I
knew my fortune would he as good as
made."

WARNED BY HIS DEAD WIFE.
A Voire Thai Came In the Night
and Saved a i;irl'» I,He.
" Now my friend Mr. So-and-So had
entirely different experiences that con
verted him," continued the gentle
man, rays the Pittsburg Dispatch.
" One night, many years ago, he and
his family retired. Shortly after mid
night lie was awakened by the voice
of his dead wife, who said: ' Gas,
quick.' He thought it was imagina
tion, and laid awake thinking about it
for some time. As he was dozing off
the voice came again. As he was
dozing off the voice came again : ' Gas,
quick, quick,' with more imperative
ness. 1 Well,' thought my friend, as
he sat up in bed, ' that surely was my
wife's voice, but I was just dozing off
to sleep and I may imagined it. I
will stay awake now so that'—just
then the voice came agaiu with
greater sternness, saying in an imper
ative way: ' Gas, quick, quick, quick !,
My friend waited no longer, but jumped
from his bed and rushed to the rooms
on the second floor, where his daugh
ters were sleeping. There was no gas
there. Down stairs he hurried, looked
into the cellar and ail about, but no
gas to be found. He suddenly re
membered a newly arrived Swede girl
who had came that day to do house
work, who was sleeping on the third
Hoor. Up stairs he sprung with a
bound, and as he neared the door he
detected the gas. He broke into the
room and found it filled with gas. In
the stillness he could hear the heavy,
labored breathing of the girl on the
bed. He saw no time was to be lost.
Down on his knees he got, and, keep
ing his face as close to the floor as
possible, he crawled to the window,
which he opened. He then reached
for the girl, and, catching her arm
which was hanging over the side of
the bed, pulled her to the floor and
through the open door to the next
room, where restoratives were applied.
The girl was asphyxiated, and in fif
teen minutes more would have been
dead. It took several days for her to
recover. She tried the old experiment
of blowing out the gas with almost
fatal results. My friends tells me
that frequently in times of danger the
warning voice of his wife comes to his
rescue."

Ingeraoll Taken Dawn.
One cheerless, rainy night the ven
erable Simon Cameron was sitting in
the office of the Ebbit house, gazing
out through the window into the fog
and darkness, says the Chicago Record.
He was lost in thought and his face
was the picture of melancholy. Pres
ently Colonel lugersoll entered.
" What has happened, General?" he
asked. " You look as if you'd lost
your Inst friend."
" Ah, Bob," said the old man with a
sigh, " I have just seen a cruel, pitia
ble sight. An aged and crippled sol
dier was painfully toiling up the street
yonder, and was making some pro
gress, when along came a big, double
fitted, I road-shouldered fellow and
kic ;ed the crutches out from under
the old cripple, leaving him feeble and
helpless, to pick himself up as best he
could."
"I would that I had been there!"
cried lugersoll, angrily. " I would
have trounced the ruffian! I never
heard of so brutal an outrage! What,
abuse an old and crippled man like
that! I'd make quick work of the
brute!"
" Wait a moment, Bob," interrupted
old Simon Cameron, gently. " I was
that aged and crippled veteran, and I
was toiling along to my grave. And
it was you, Bob, who came across my
path and kicked from under me the
crutches that supported me in that
last journey."
Colonel Ingersoll made no answer;
the old man continued to look mourn
fully out into the night.
Tbc lie •( "Will" and "Shall."

There is probably no more confusing
part of the English lauguage than
that which regulates the proper use of
"shall" and "will." The reply of
James Russell Lowell to the woman
who wrote, saying, " I would lie very
much obliged for your autograph," has
been oiten in print, and has undoubt
edly been clipped for scrap and pocket
book reference by many persons. The
poet essayist granted her request in
the following fashion: " Pray, do not
say hereafter, ' I would be obliged.'
If you would be obliged, be obliged
and be done with it. Say,' I should
be obliged,' and oblige, yours truly,
James Russell Lowell."
An additional hint to go with this
" cut me out" is that of the old verse:
In the first person simply shall foretells ;
In will a threat or else * promine dwell ;
Shall lu the second or the third doth threats
Will dimply then foretells the future feat.
Or " shall" in the first and " will" in
the second and third persons are to
be regarded as simple declarations,
and both in all other cases convey a
threat.
THE County Auditor's assessment of
taxable property in Pierce county for
the year 1893, gives a total property
valuation of $40,801,802, as compared
with $43,028,028 last year, an increase
of $1,572,274. The rolls show real es
tate valuations and improvements to
reach $40,382,543, as against $39,449,-
478 last year, and the value of per
sonal property has increased front
$5,518,048 in 1892 to $0,218,759 this
year. Taeoma city real estate and
improvements were figured at a valua
tion of $28,445,870; Puyallup, $1,232,-
282; Steilacoom, $232,408; Summer,
$190,524; Orting, $109,278; Buckley,
$102,871. This assessment will hold
for two years, and applies to city as
well as county taxes, as the County

BAD FOR UNCLE SAM
The Uerlug Sea Declnlan not En*
tlrelr the Right Thing.
Secretary Gresham is said to be dis
satisfied with the findings of the
Bering sea tribunal in regard to the
regulations established and it is un
derstood that his views are shared by
other cabinet officers. The regula
tions arc interpreted to mean that the
United States will have entailed on
them the cost and worry of patrolling
Bering sea without benefit to its seal
ers, while Russia, Japan and perhaps
other nations reap a harvest, the regu
lations being binding only on Great
Britain and on this country. It is
not likely that any definite policy re
specting the guardianship of the sea
will be outlined until the opening of
the first season next year, because bad
weather will put an end to the opera
tion of the sealers in about two weeks.
The restrictions placed on sealers with
reference to firearms, nets, explosives
and steam vessels will have the ef
fect, it is believed, of causing Cana
dian sealers to resort to desperate
methods to secure good catches, and
much poaching is feared. In the close
season during the months of May,
June and July, both Great Britain
and the United States will be obliged
to maintain a fleet of naval vessels to
keep poachers from the sealing waters,
and it is believed at the Navy Depart
ment that this will result in the estab
lishment of a permanent Bering sea
squadron for duty (luring the three
months named. The United States
will also be obliged to maintain a
watch on the waters within the sixty
mile zone around the Pribyloff islands
during the entire mild season from
the Ist of April to the Ist of Septem
ber, and it is probable that this duly
will be discharged by vessels of the
revenue marine service.
Ax EXCELLENT MEANS OF RETRENCH
ING EXPENSE. —In Clark county, Kan
sas, so says a special telegram sent
out from Topeka, where hard times
prevail and hops have failed this year,
the religious people of all denomina
tions are getting together and dis
charging all but one minister in the
interest of economy. At Ashland, the
county seat, seven denominations
combined and took a vote on the
most popular of tho seven miuisters
who should preach the gospel to the
people, eschewing all doctrinal topics.
Rev. Melleck, of the Methodist church,
was elected, and the other six dis
charged. The unsuccessful were not
soured, and accepted their fate, know
ing that there was support for but one
minister. The plan is satisfactory,
and will be adopted in other counties
in the drought district.

Tlios. A. Edison was at tlie World's
Fair, last week, and was made the
subject of an interview, from which
we extract as follows: I arrived in
in Chicago Monday night," ho said.
" I came in <]uietly, not wishing to let
any one know of my arrival. When 1
was in Paris in 1889 I was awfully
bored. There is always a lot of people
who want to show me something I do
not want to see. For the last twenty
years I have been making exhibitions
at fairs. I have displayed my inven
tions in Cape Town, liio Janeiro, Tu
rin, Natal, Kussia, France, Germany,
Cincinnati, New Orleans, London and
every place that has ever boasted of an
exposition.
" I have made no show at the
World's Fair. I originally intended
to and worked on the kiuctograph, an
entirely new thing, day and night for
a long lime. My chief assistant was
taken ill, and the work fell on me so
heavily that I finally determined to
save myself, even if I made no exhibit.
I needed rest this year and determined
to see the big show at my ease. So
far I have succeeded very well. I
have not been within ten feet of any
portal of the Electricity Building, and
have no intention of going there.
The first place I went to was the
Mines and Mining building. I have
given up experimenting in electricity,
and my whole time is now devoted to
metallurgy. Not that I think that
electricity is exhausted as a source of
invention ; no, not by any means, but
I am not going to have anything to
do again with anything that I have to
gel a patent on.
" There id no protection for an in
ventor in the courts of the United
States. That is why I have given up
electricity. For twenty yeare I have
been fighting for thirty or forty
patents I own, in all these I have
been sustained in but two. The rest
will probably be sustained ten or fif
teen years after the patent right ex
pires. It is not that the patent laws
are not all right. It is because prac
tice in the courts is such that an in
ventor can get no satisfaction except
by sheer accident.
" For a long time I tried to obtain
electricity from coal. I got very good
'esults for a while, and felt very much
satisfied. I saw, however, that it
would require several more years of
experiment and gave it up. I have
since devoted my time to metals.
When a way is found to get electricity
direct from coal, that time will mark a
new era in the advancement of man
kind.
" I have a new model phonograph
to be brought out in a short while, an
innovation entirely new, and on
which I am yet putting the finishing
touches.
"The kinetograph is to the eye what
the phonograph is to the ear. By
this machine figures can be produced
on a screen; every shade of expression
and every gesture can be reproduced-
To make this machine I had to take
forty-six pictures a second. This is
equal to the capacity of the eye. Ten
or twenty or even thirty pictures a
second would show the movements of
an arm, for instance, in jerks, but
with forty-six photographs u second
the arm is seen to rise just as the
human eye sees it, and with the same
speed.
" A combination of photograph and
kinetograph, which I shall probably
call the photo-kiuelograph, I have
also in course of construction. This
will show a man's every motion, and
the likeness will speak,
" I have always used a great many
sapphires in the manufacture of
phonographs. They are very ex
pensive and sometimes very hard to
procure at all. I analyzed the
chemical composition of the sapphire
and finding out what it was started to
make sapphires. I now make all I
use. I can make rubies for .f 5 a pound
that in beauty far exceed the genuine."

AN APPEAL FOR HELP
rood Wauled by (be Mart Ink l»eo
pie «f New York.
The delegates anil speakers to the
Farmers' Alliance and People's Party
convention assembled at Sylvan Beach,
New York, Saturday, issued the follow
ing appeal: " Farmers of the West, a
cry of hunger and starvation conies
up from the heart of the great city of
New York. It is from the throats of
tens of thousands who are unemployed
It ascends midst the noise of the
jingling of gold on the money counters
of Wall street. Men are becoming
desperate front want, and the gaunt
spectre of famine stalks abroad un
heeded by those who have grown fat
by the ravaging of industry. The
lobby approaching the council cham
bers of the republic are tilled with
paid agents of the oligarchy, ready to
debauch the people's representatives.
The money sharks unrelenting, the
government indifferent and the peo
ple desperate by the pangs of hunger;
law abiding, honest men are being
transformed into reckless wolves and
this is the condition desired by the
enemies of the people. They starve
them in order to furnish an excuse to
kill them afterwards. This must not
be. The starving poor of New York
must not become the prey of design
ing enemies. The farmers must feed
them. We know you are poor but
these men and women are your broth
ers and sisters. Their cause it your
cause; their starvation and your
poverty are the joint production of
the community. Send speedily of
your products that disorder and blood
shed may he averted. Let each presi
dent call his alliance and take action.
Let each railroad furnish tiasporta
tion free. Organize relief committees
at once and communicate with Mr.
David Rousseau, No. 310 Mott avenue,
New York, who has been selected by
us as the consignee of relief supplies
and who will arrange for their prompt
and equitable distribution."
This is signed by the delegates and
speakers of the Farmers' Alliance and
People's Party State Convention.
IZAAK WALTON.
The Terceutennarjr of (be Angler
Celebrate* All Over the WerK.
It was in 1G53 that Walton ascended
to immortality by the publication of
his book. " There is hardly a name in
our literature," says the Encyclopedia
Brittanica, condescendingly, " even of
the first rank, whose fame is more se
cure or whose personality is the sub
ject of a more devoted oult." True it
is that multitudes who have never put
a worm on a liook have been caught
and securely held by bis picture of the
delights of the gentle craft and his
easy, leisurely transcript of his own
simple, peaceable, lovable and amusing
character. All that is mortal of old
Isaak reposes in Winchester cathedral
beneath a blue stone in the flooring.
An inscription cut in it runs:
Here Kesteth the Body of
Mr. Iztak Walton.
Who Died the !9th of December,
IMS.
Alaa! He'tUone Before,
Uone to Returne Koe More.
He died at the age of ninety, after
having spent the last forty years of his
life in traveling, fishing and wo-king
at the "Compleat Angler," the first
edition of which came out in 1653, re
ceiving subsequent editions. It ran
through one edition after another aud
made its author great in bis own day
as well as in ours. Portraits of Wal
ton are scattered among the stately
homes of England. The three hun
dredth anniversary of his was
celebrated all over the world on Aug
ust 9.
EZRA MEEKER ON THE STATE EX
HIBIT.—Ezra Meeker severely, and we
fear justly, criticises the management
of the State building and exhibit at
the World's Fair, charging inefficiency,
extravagance and inapproprialeness,
which has marred the effectiveness of
the exhibition. Of course it will be
charged that Meeker is disgruntled
on account of the impolite treatment
he received at the hands of the poli
ticians of the board, early in its his
tory ; but it cannot be denied that he
is a competent critic, and few who
know him will charge him with feel
ings of malice or jealously in his crjti
cisms. His views of Washington's ex
hibit, as it appears, agree with those of
other disinterested judges, and as to
the charge of extravagant management
of the State appropriations, it has not
been disputed. In the hands of an ex
perienced and practical man like E/.ra
Meeker, a better exhibit would have
been made with one-half the money
that has been spent than the present
show.
MRS. Alice Houghton returned
lately from a trip t>> Tacoma in the
interest of the World's Fair, says the
Review. Speaking of the dissensions
among the lady managers of the
World's Fair, both national and State,
she said: " It has set the cause of fe
male suffrage hack at least 20 years,
as the whole world has had an example
of what women do when put in places
of authority."
