tive.
New York Tribune

New York Tribune.l
A company has been formed in this city to
furnish electric motive power to any and
every one who may have a wheel t. turn
The machine it proposes to use is the electro
motor Of Professor Leo Daft, which has sew
eral times been alluded to by the pres. H.
N. Hawkesworth, the manager of the COM
pany, was visited by reporter, and inqui-
ries made of him concerning the scheme
''See Mr. Daft" he said He can show
more in half an hour than can tell you in
ten days.
The reporter saw Mr. Daft About one
mile west Of Greenville, n. j., nesting in a
grove Of trees is a small frame house of four
rooms, and under its shngled roof was found
the wizard Of Newark bay. Jumping up
from his drawing board with an energy that
be might have drawn from one of his own
motors, he said in CHEEKY tones: Come, take
. ride'
"Ampere, named from the distinguished
electrician, was brought out from a neighbor-
ing shed, saddled and bridled, and the wizard
end his guest got aboard "All ready he
cried, and touching a lever, and giving
quarter revolution to five-inch crank, the
engine moved away. The track, from its APP
pearance, might have been built of the debris
Of the first experimental railroad in America
The rails were old and worn and rusty; they
were up here, down yonder; a succession Of
bumps and hollows; they were on a heavy
grade, and the one curve Of 45 degrees was
like turning the corner Of a fence. How in
the world any four wheels managed TO follow
such track was a wonder, but 'Amphere'
whirled along it, back and forth, without
groan, and was as docile and quiet as a Shet-
land pony. The engine would sweep along to
within an inch Of the ends of the nails and
stop instantly, when on the verge Of going
over.
The power that moved the engine came
from a generator in the factory, through a
mile Of wire, which might as well have been
ten miles or twenty five miles in length. Tine
power was transmitted to the engine by
means Of a small iron rail- and the current
flowed through it, producing power sufficient
To move ''Ampere," and standard gauge

At times we are compelled
to make sacrifices. There are
causes that compel-strange to
say, we hail these causes with
delight. We look for timely
opportunities to give bargains.
Our customers are worthy OF
them. Such a time Is the
present in Parasols. We have
got too many Of them. Every
merchant, be he large or small,
wants money. We want it,
too, just now. Do you know
why? The markets. unsettled,
money is tight, goods are 60
ing a-begging to cash purchas
ers. Our New York buyers
are getting their work in; we
must sell to help them out.
We offer big bargains all over
the store. We mention Para
