whole ensemble seemed neglected and
miserable. When required to rise
and plead to the indictment, which
paper was read to him, the reading
consuming some thirty minutes, he
did so in a languh and tired manner
and did not manifest the least interest
in the scene around him.
And when the clerk asked him for
his plea, in place of response, he
drew a dirty and crumpled piece OF
paper from his vest pocket. He was
told imperatively TO plead guilty or
not guilty. He then said that he
entered a plea of not guilty
and desired to make q
statement. The court told him to sit
down, and that lie could speak hi,
speech some other time. He sal
down submissively. His defense is
to he insanity, and he will produce

and ceremony which one might ex-
pet at meetings Of the Ku klux
Khan, or the Mollie Maguires, Was
necessary in approaching the hidden
wonder. Three mysterious raps on
the part of the initiated were the
charm which threw the stable door
open. Everybody but those invited
to the show were kept out by one OF
the directors and the secretary, who
acted rs door keepers. As the clock
struck eight, the guests having been
invited into the upper ROOM the
hay NOW, probably, the show began
Mr.. keely poured twenty drops Of
cold water into the generator of his
apparatus, and connected the different
tubes which acted as insulators of
sound and vibration. After the frs:
expulsion, which caused partial
vaporization OF the twenty drops of
water poured into the generator, Mr..
Kelly proceeded to show the vibra-
cry power of his invention, BY plac-
Ing a hollow brass globe between two
plates of glass an inch thick each. Ger
ain Eleusinian combinations wer e
made, and the globe began to revolver
1t the rate of a hundred revolutions
second. As the exhibitor claimed.
The next experiment was the firing q:
cannOn-ball through a four-inch
plank and then fa,tening the ball
against an iron plate back of the
blank. Then a little wire wa>
stretched from the generator TO the

the apartment, striking the wall in
what the inventor calls his shop. No
rot air escaped from the mouth of the
cannon. Then Mr.. keely in>tanta-
leously created a six-horse power. as
ne claimed. and exhibited the intra-
cacies of his machinery. A great
many unscientific and clumsy ques-
lions were asked bv the visitors, and
they were all answered by Mr.. keely in
IN exceedingly excitable and ierky
manner. his language being clothed in
incompreh ensible scientific terms. In
reply to vote of thanks, he said
that he did not claim to have invented
the motor. Any man, he said, who
would claim that would be fool.

this wonderful power ever being put
to any practical use, seems TO have
been uttered. Surely, the mystic
vibrations, "a they stand at present,
are not more unruly than Watts found
steam before It's uses and application
were known. Ifsuch wonderful pow
er is developed from twenty drops of
water, what stupendous motive inau-
ence might not be evolved from gal

be managel. 1t is something like the

The BAzoo has the highest respect
for legitimate thief catching, and the
ferreting ont of crime, Is every honest
person or Institution must have. But
FOR the class of swindling and unau-
thorized detectives which infest our
community i'm this land, we have onl "
! that contempt and condemnation
which their dishonest practices merit.
Every town has number of these
amateur detectives, who are them
selves the very embodiment of dis-
honesty and roguerX. These men
undertake to catch criminals and
trace crime to its source. They arr
selfconstituted guardians of the
peace and morals of those communi-
ties which they annoy with THEN
over-zealous attentions. But all the
time their only purpose is self-ag-
grsndizement and gain. They will
even 90 so far as to induce intoxi-
Gated persons, or those whose intel
Iects are naturally weak, to commit
crimes, or to further their purpose
in involving others, in order that
their imagined skill and ability ma.
he aired in the courts and in the pub
lie press. BY what authority do
these cross-roaders act? Simply BY
their own self-supposed efficacy in de-
tecting crime, or may be by some
swindling detective agency, which,
for a small sum of money, sends
these people worthless pa
per appointment as detectives.
The occupation of detective,
when pursued by competent
authorized persons, is wholly honor
able and commendable. But when
the class we have in mind thrust their
insolent faces forward under pretense
Of being detectives, they should be
driven from the community, or sup
pressed in some other equally effica-
cious manner. The BAzoo has no
particular reference to any particular
person.
These self-constituted, half.fedged.
itinerant vagabonds hound the tracks
and hunt down honest and upright
men whose actions and movements
they exaggerate and comfort into what
they would make people believe to be
criminals and crooks. There are some
of these would-be detectives i'm the
pen and others will probably follow,
as their true characters develop.
But we are speaking generally of
that class of detectives who pursue
this avocation mainly for blackmail
and who are a disgrace and upas-
tree to every manly sentiment with
which mankind is acquainted, and a
parody on the legitimate business of
the authorized and skillful detective
officer, and on the administration of
criminal justice.
