FRED H, BROWNS INVENTION, AND WHAT
rs CLAIMED FOR TT

FRED H, BROWNS INVENTION, AND WHAT
Is CLAIMED FOR 1T.
FORT WORTH September 5.-An impor-
tant page in the history of telegraphy has
just been written. Last spring Fred b.
Brown, Of Forth Worth, completed the in
vention of q magnetic electric Geographic in
strument. This instrument works at any
distance withouta battery at either end of
the wire, which is coiled around magnet.
The instrument was tested for the first time
the Dist of last June between Fort Worth
and Cleburne.
The patent was issued last week and Mr..
Brown at once closed negotiations which
had been pending for the sale of his right
in the United States. The sale was closed
a few days ago. Arson Corbln and his
associates being the purchasers. The con-
sideretion was 81, 900, 900, $780, 600 being
in cash. MIR. Brown was here this week,
sold all his property in Fort Worth and re-
turned to New York city where he will
make his home.
John Mackey, it is said, is negotiating for
the right in Canada for 100000. Pre-
parations have been completed in the east,
and the instrument will be tested this COM
ing week at long distance under water
George J. Frankel and George Fl. Shut
tier, of Fort Worth, will leave for En-
gland in few weeks to negotiate for the
sale of the right in the countries of Eu-
rope.
This invention is new system of trans
hitting sound and the human voice with
out using batteries of any kind, by means
of magnetic transmitter and receiver at
tached at both ends of the line This sim
pie instrument can be made for twenty five
cents out of few ounces of wire and a half
pound of steel. The transmitter is simply
horse shoe magnet; either pole being
with fine wire carefully cooled. The receiy-
Ell is similar, but has a smaller magnet.
1t is claimed by the inventor that he can
transmit the voice around the world or across
the atlantic ocean, there being no lin
it as far as distance is concerned, all that is
necessary being the increasing of the size
of the magnets. One weighing only half
pound is capable Of transmitting the voice
seventy-f3ve miles.
The cost of the batteries fall kinds used
in the United States is said TO be 500. 600
daily, which will be saved by this invention.
In telegraphing, the key attachment, now
i'll use, will be applied, but very tile noise
is made. The receiving operator has the
disc attached to his ear hung by hook in
his cap, or strapped around his head. TIE
noise now incident to telegraph officsS is
done away with aud the telegraph is abso-
lutely secret The inst rument can be car
ried on all trains, and in case of accident
between stations Can be attached to the tele-

"Old Si's' Sudden conversion. - The

of the announcements Of - conversion of
Mr.. Samuel W. Small brilliant jonr-
nalist and author of thS"Old SIP stories.
A great crowd assembled in the Artesian
Well Monday evening to hear Mr.. Small
preach his first sermon. He told of his
conversion and determination to do better,
and announced that he would preach next
Sunday in some church in the city. In his
talk he said: 'When thousands of the
good Christians of Atlanta were praising
God in the great taDeInaoi-, in which Sam
Jones and HDa l4al lpt02rhi1g, was
be4SSes- litually consoled elsewhere, but
with the help of God will quit that habit,
which has almost caused my ruin, and will
teach others to abhor the evil paths which
l have trod." He spoke earnestly.

When Henry Ward Reecher has one of his
lucid intervals, he generally takes the right
view of things and matters Being recently
Intercepted as to his views on the liquor
traffic, he unqualifedly declared for high
license as the only practical means to regu-
late and, to certain extent, check that
traffic. There can be no question that Mr..
Beecher is right. Prohibition and local
option are vagaries and will always fail of
their purpose. High license will decrease
the number of low groggeries in which the
greatest part of the misery that proceeds
from the excessive use of liquor originates.
1t will rid the business of INSCRIPTIONS
men. and will besides add largely to the
revenues of city and state. 1t furnishes the

ORGANIZATION is PowER.-The game of
Malone is to ''divide and conquer and to
this end he and his friends are infaming
local quarrnls as much as they can, and
inducing so-called independent candidates
to take the field in various parts of the
State. 1t is not pleasant aspect of hu-
man nature which one has presented when
office seeking gets the better of love of the
Commonwealth, and fortunately the cases
in which this appears are both few and far
between. But enough Of this work is done
to put us on our guard and we should Or
ganize in every precinct and voting district
with as much energy as if our lives depend
ed on the result Organization is power,
and this should be borne in mind and acted
On by our committees throughout the

THE SABBATH BELLS.

The old man sits in his easy chair;
And his ear has caught the ringing
Ofmany a church-bell far and near,
Their own sweet music singing.
And his head sinks low on his aged breast,
While his thoughts far back are reaching
To the Sabbath morns of his boying days,
And mothers sacred teaching.
A few years LATER and 10! the pel1s
A merrier strain were peal1ng,
And heavenward bore the marriage VOWS
Which his manhood's joy were sealing.
But the old mans eyes are dimming now,
AS memory holds before him
The sad, sad picture of later years,
When the tide of grief rolled DER him.
When the bells were telling for loved ones
gone;
For the wife, for the soEs and daughters,
Who, one by one, from his home went ouI'.
And down into deaths dark waters.
But the aged heart has still one JOY
Which his old life daily blesses,
And his eyes grow bright and his pulses
warm,
Meath grandchild's sweet caresses.
put the old man wakes from his reverie,
And his dear old face is smiling,
While the child with her serious eyes READS
on;
The Sabbath hours beguiling.
All! bells, once more We ring for him.
When the heavenly hand shall sever
The chord of life and his freed soul flies
To dwell with his own forever.

Questions Answered III!

DISK the most eminent physician
OF any school, what is the best thing in
the world for allaying all irritation of the
nerves, and curing all forms of nervous
complaints, giving natural childlike re-
freshing sleep always?
And they will tell you unhesitatingly
".Some form Of Hops!"
CHAPTER I.
Ask any or all of the most eminent ply
sicians:-
what is the only remedy that can be
relied on to cure all diseases of the kidneys
and urinary organs; Bright's disease, dia-
betes retention, or inability to retain urine,
and all the diseases and ailments peculiar
to Women"
"And they will tell you explicitly and
emphatically "Buchu!!n
Ask the same physicians
'What is the most reliable and surest
cure for all liver diseases or dyspepsia, con-
stipation, indigestion, biliousness, malaria,
fever, ague, &C., aud they will tell you
Mandrake! or DGndetion!!!!
Hence, when these remedies are combined
with others equally valuable,
And compounded into Hop Bitters, such
a wonderful and mysterious curative power
is developed, which is so varied in it's ope-
rations that no disease or ill-health can pos
sibly exist or resist its power, and yet it is
Harmless for the most frail woman weak

MAKING ENORMOUS PROFITS.
The Standard Oil Company Guarantee
ing $50 Per Ce0t
From a. Neln - TLm.a.

from TIE Neto York Times.
The Standard oil Company made con
tract with William G. Schofeld and 9TH
ers for carrying on the business of rein
ing petroleum and dealing in It's products,
in Cleveland, Ohio. 1t was agreed that
the corporation should put $4,000 into
the business and the other parties an
equal sum; that no more than $1,000 bar
rels OF petroleum should be used annual
~, and that Schoheld and his associates
should be guaranteed a profit OF $50 600 "a
year, or three and halt times their con-
tribution TO the capital Of the copartner-
snip. Some months ago the Standard Oil
Company sued Schoheld and his associ-
ates IN the Supreme Court for an account
ing OF the profits Of the business, alleging
that they had more than $4,000 allotted to
them, The defendants demurred to the
complaint on the grounds that the STAN
dard COmpany's charter made ID Illegal
for 1t 10 become partner with individu-
ais, and that the contract was void be-
cause made in restraint of trade.
Judge Willard Bartlett, who heard the
case at Special Term, Oyerruled the de-
murrer yesterday. Respecting the claim
that the contract was void because in
contraventiOn OF the plaintiffs c0mpany's
charter. he said: "Can the fact that the
joint undertaking was ultra yireS on the
apart OF the plaintiff avail the defendants
in answer to claim that SO far as the
contract has already been executed they
have applied to their own use large sums
of money TO which they are not entitledY
So far as this specification Of
their demurrer is concerned, the defend
ants say 10 the plaintiff, in substance:
Yes, we made an agreement with YOU.
We carried on business with you under
Il. We have taken more than our share
OF the profits; and now you can have no
redress because the contract between us
was really one Of copartnership, which
YOU could not make without exceeding
your corporate powers In my opinion,
It needs no argument to show that to per-
nit such position 10 be successfully
maintained would be to disregard the
plainest principles OF good faith"
As TO the specification that the CON
tract was in restraint of trade. Judge
Bartlett said. "a man who proposes to
put money into Joint undertaking with
strangers may lawfully bind them not 10
do more business than he thinks will be
warranted ny the capital 90 be employed
even n the result he 10 limit the produce
tiOn OF a particular commodity. In such
cases as the present the controlling ques-
tion must be the purpose OF the parties.
II IL be their design artihcially % enhance
the price OF necessary commodity by
keeping the product Of others out OF the
market, their contracts To that end are
Illegal. I think the most that
can be said upon the pleadings here (out-
side Of which can consider nothing is
that the facts pleaded point 10 a prOba-
bility that the contract was intended 10
De I'm restraint Of trade. These facts.
however, are also consistent with law
