ELECTRICAL EXHIBITION


The managers of the franklin Insti.
tute are daily In receipt Of requests fol
the International Electrical Exhibition
to be kept open beyond the date set for
Its closing, October II. For excellent
reasons, however, It will be impossible
to comply, and the great show will posi-.
lively end on that date. With the I'D
vent Of cool weather, the attendance ut
the exhibition has steadily increased,
until now 1t Is crowded all day long and
In the evenings 1t is difficult for people
TO elbow their way through the vast
throng. Up to Saturday night last the
aggregate number of visitors was up
wards of 10000
| The Edison exhibit is, "a heretofore,
the principal objective point Of most OF
the sight-seers, and the great inventor
has introduced number of unique fea.
lures for the amusement as we'll as the
edification Of the multitude. Among
these may be mentioned small keys,
which, when pressed upon, establishes q
current on number Of miniature incan-
descent lights, and puts them In opera.
tion. The children especially are fond
Of playing with this toy, and watching
the brilliant effect produced. The most
amusing thing In connection with the
exhibit Of the Menlo park genius is the
walking electric light. 1t consists OF .
colored man wearing polished steel
helmet, on the top Of which IL an incan-
descent lamp, which flashes up and goes
out at intervals. The people indulge In
various speculatiOns as to the where
abouts Of the power which causes this
novel effect, and some of the explana.
tiOns are extremely ludicrous.

machines can be easily operated without
the necessity for that hard labor on the

women. An electric motor fitted to the
machine, which can be connected or
discon nected In an instant, runs it at a
much higher rate Of speed than can be
Obtained by the working Of tho feet.
The United States Government dis.
play Ii another exhibit which attracts
general attention. The Navy Depart
ment shows sy stems Of charging, laying,
exploding and detecting the presence OF
t0rpedoes, in all Of which electricity ia
the active agent. The great electric
search light, of the power Of several
hundred millions of candles, the inven.
ton of French naval officer, is on ex.
hibition, and Is operated in one of the
towers every night. Its use is the il.
Illuminating OF rivers and harbors, and
ascertaining the proximity OF vessels at
sea.
A recent experiment demonstra ted
that q finely. printed newspaper can by
means of the light be read at disia ice
of two miles. By its aid an object can
be distinguished and seeen at upwards
of 20 miles distance.
The Signal Service of the army also
has An exhibit, which includes a number
Of electrical apparatuses for determin-
ing many meteorological conditions
upon which the weather predictions
are based. The ordinance department
of tho army show . contrivanoe to as
certain the velocity of q projectile fred
from gun or q cannon.

tion Of some Of the many appliances for

Death of Mrs. Rachel M. Clark .

Mrs. Rachel NJ. Clark, who is we'll.
known In this city, died at the M. 4.
church parsonage, Middletown, on Wed.
nesday evening, September the 18th,
after an illness OF only four days. In
speaking of her death the TRANSCRIPT,
says.
She was born In Baltimore on June
18th, 1926. She was the mother of the
wife of Rev. Adam Stengle, and the
widow of the late Joshua Clark, Of Still
Pond, Md. On the 3D. Of September,
1879, she was stricken with pAraly ysis,
and for long time her recovery was
considered doubtful, but through the
untiring attention of her daughter,
Mrs. 6tengle, she so far recovered
as to be able TO be about again, though
she never fully recovered. After the
marriage of her daughter to Rev. Mr..
Stengle in May, 1881, she made her
home with them, where she re mained
until her death. On last Sunday morn.
ing she was in her usual health ap.
parently, ate her breakfast With the
family as usual, and after breakfast
she went into the kitchen, where she
was found few moments afterwards
in an unconscious condition, from Q
stroke of apoplectic paralysis. DIR. Nc
Kee was called, promptly responded
but all efforts to restore her were fruit
less. She continued unconscious to the
end. Mrs. Clark has been q member
of the M. Il. church for more thar
thirty years. Her remains were taker
to Still Pond, Kent county, Md, he
former home, and after an appropriate
service in the M. K. church of tina
town were laid to rest on Friday after
noon in the cemetery adjoining.

When over two-thirds OF the rep.
resentatives and nearly thirds
OF the senator's united in a resolu-
ton declaring the 4l2s grain silver
dollar an honest dollar that could
justly, legally and honestly be ten
dered in payment Of any debt, pub
lie or private, we thought it about
time for the clamor about its being
dishonest eighty-five cent dollar"
to cease, and SD it did for Il time !;
but 1t seems it is:being revived again,
and we are sorry to see some demo-
cratic journals that ought to know
better adding their clamor to the
senseless cla.ter which it is charita-
BILE to conclude they know nothing
about and are only repeating the
clamor OF interested parties which
is constantly tunnelled in their ears.
Independent with this resolution
contemporaneous with the funding
act, had the funding act, instead Of
providing that the new bonds should
be paid in coin OF its present stand
ard value, expressly provided it
should be paid in 4l2a grain silver
dollars, the right OF the holder,
either in law or morals, 10 demand
more would be precisely what it now
is; aud that was the sentiment ex-
pressed in the resolution referred to,
drawn and ably defended by the
then senator but now U. S. supreme
Judge Stanley Matthews; and unless
this senseless clamor is stopped we
propose to have something to say
about the motives that inspire 1t.
Arguments In favor OF recoinage to
make the two OF the same relative
commercial value ARE legitimate and
proper, but II all precedents are to
be followed. and there are number
OF them, 1t would be by reducing the
amount OF gold in u dollar rather
than increasing the amount Of silver,
or coming down that Of the greater
value to that OF the less, and thereby
the relations OF tho debtor and
creditor are not changed, the credi-
tor would get just what, by the terms
OF his bond, he was entitled to under
the old coinage act. and tho debtor
Is compelled to pay no more, which
no would be II the change was made
the other way. But senseless clamor
serves the purpose Of the Shylocks
and their hireling tools much better
than argument, hence We expect the
Chicago Times and such prominent
journals, owned and controlled by
Shylocks, TO keep up this clamor
