PRICES HILL.

On the heights of the west bank of Milk
creek, a tributary of, and at its junction with,
the Ohio river, is Prices hill, reached also by
an incline, the head of which terminates with
grand pavilion, concert garden and dancing
halls The grounds are very large, with a
net work of pleasure walks, shaded by hum
dreds of trees, beneath which are convenient
refreshment tables The grounds, pavilion
and terrace overlook the entire city, scope
Of perhaps ten miles. On the opposite side
of the summit you look from point where
the Ohio river takes graceful curve to the
south. The eye rests on dim, uncertain ho-
rizon thirty miles away, across the blue grass
fields, wooded wales and picturesque hills Of
Kentucky. Nearer, to the left, on the oppo-
site shore, the graceful, low, blue banks are
broken by the inflow Of the turbulent, green
dyed Licking, which rushes, with the songs Of
sawmills and industry, into the amber-hued
waters of the more peaceful, sedate and
grander Ohio. The scenes on, around and
from the summit of Prices hill are among
the grandest in the Ohio valley, which, re-
gardless of the alleged seductiveness of the
Adirondacks, CatsBills and the Hudson, or
the more awe-inspiring splendors of the
Rocky mountains, needs no word painting,
for the Ohio is living swath which mows its
silent, shimmering way through sublime
nature in her grander moods
Prices hill is principally patronized by peo-
pie from the West End, who hold all their
picnics and social balls and parties, in winter
and summer, in one of the finest dancing pa
vilions in the country. Tt was here that the
Democratic nominating convention Of 1883
was held

The Bellevue house is one of the most ia.
nous hilltop resorts in the city, situated at
the head Of the Clifton Incline Plane railway,
built Immediately upon the edge and over
hanging the high cliffs which overlook Nc
Micken avenue, 800 feet below. 1t is by far
the largest and closely rivals for beauty and
appointments the celebrated Highland house.
One view, the beautiful Mill Greek valley,
spreads out away to the northwest, the SER
pentine windings easily traced by simmer
ing reflections of the sunlight, while here and
there the stream is lost behind the houses Of
more thickly crowded settlements. Turning,
the eye rests on the city while another view,
not quite SO extended, but none the less beau
,tiful, is to the north across wide expanse of
undplating country to the velvety lawns and
palatial residences of Clifton, one Of the love-
lest residence spots in America
The Bellevue house, pavilions, esplanade
and other attractive buildings cover more
ground than any other hilltop resort in the
city. The grounds comprise about twelve
acres, in which there is a park and orchard,
innumeral shade trees, lovely walks and beau
tiful flowers. The Bellevue is largely used
for picnics, balls and private parties in sum
nner and winter, the buildings being heated
by steam As many as 10000 people have
frequently been entertained in one evening.
The entire place is open at all times, and the
admission is free.
The Highland house is the newest and
most fashionable of the hilltop resorts 1t is
situated at the head Of the inclined plane on
Mt Adams The buildings are numerous
and extensive The main ball will comfort
ably seat 1000 persons. Up stairs are parlors,
ladies' dressing rooms. theatre and extensive
lining rooms This building is complete in
every detail, being finished, painted and
decorated in tie highest style of modern art.
Running around the entire building are wide
balconies. Another building of quite equal
dimensions il situated to the right of the main

On the summit of jackson hill, now more
familiarly known as Mt. Auburn, was built
in 1872 mammoth pleasure pavilion S0x2O0
feet, and an amphitheatre which is used for
dramatic and circus performances and
dancing. The grounds are divided into lawns
and flower gardens, and beneath the broad
spreading shnde trees are refreshment tables.
The grand pavilion is not unlike in design and
detail like resorts at Coney Island. 1t con-
tains 200 refreshment tables, special and
private dining rooms and grand orchestra.
This pavilion and grounds will comfortably
accommodate 5000 persons. Since the Look
out house, as it is called, came into existence,
it has undergone many improvements. The
principal amusement at the present time is
dancing and German concerts.
The success attending the opening Of the
Lookout house was nothingi if not phenomenal.
Thousands flocked to the pavilion and flooded
the grounds to overfowing Thus twas that
the thousands who were daily turned away
for lack of room needed another "hilltop" re-
sort, and they were not long in having their
wants supplied

One Of the most novel and interesting feat
ures of this machine is its ability to record the
sounds of number of voices speaking lat the
same time; this is done on one instrument, by
one diaphragm, one metallic point and upon
a single line How it is done finds an explain
alton in the fact that the different tones of
the voices vibrate with unlike speed and force,
and thus make different impressions upon the
diaphragm, and move the metallic point in a
different way, SO as to make a record Of the
various sounds. The diaphragm Of this ma
chine, like the drum of the ear, can receive
and record distinctly the various sounds of q
quartet of singers
The graphophone is now prepared to repre-
sent all moods. It will tell you a funny story,
and laugh with you in natural tones; it will
repeat q tragedy that is blood curdling in its
nature; it will tell you love story with all
the ardor Of a wooer; it will sing you an
Irish song, or whistle a selection from the

SECTION OF WAX AND CUTTING STYLUS.
The diagram gives an idea of the way the
steel point cuts into the surface Of the wax,
and also portrays an actual sound wave. This
figure is magnified three times, and there are
14D lines to the inch upon the cylinder.
Upon cylinder six inches in length by an
inch and quarter in diameter one is enabled
to record at least five minutes conversation.
The cylinder holder is constructed with ball
Joint at one end, and can be easily tipped so
as to allow the hollow cylinder to be rapidly
slipped on or off.
The first illustration shows the graphophone
in actual operation, with the operator in the
act of speaking into the machine. The second
shows listeners with the ear-pieces ON in the
act of listening to the reproduction. II the
listener does not care to use ear-pieces, or
should there be four or five who wish to hear
the reproduction, a trumpet attachment is
placed upon the machine, which throws the
sound out into the air.
This machine is in condition at the present
time to do the amanuensis work usually done
by stenographers. For instance, anyone may
sit before the graphophone and in ordinary
tones speak his daily correspondence into the
machine.
In copying from dlctatlon by the machine,
the operator is enabled by a neat mechanical
device to take as many words at time as he
can conveniently remember, and should he
forget any part of the sentence, by slight
pressure of the finger on a rod running along
the base of the machine the reproducer will
| repeat the sentence.
Should correspondent also have graphic
| phone, the writer of letter could in few
| moments dictate what would make a lengthy
| epistle, enclose it in a box about the size Of
the apothecary's "pill box" place stamp
thereon and transmit through the mails. The
correspondent can in turn place the cylinder
received upon his graphophone, and listen to
the letter of his friend with his voice pre-
served, thereby avoiding the vexation and
loss of time consequent upon an encounter
with bad chirography.

THE ANARCHIST TRIAL.

Chicago's Cause Celebre-Its Sensations.
Detectives Who We're Anarchists.
One of the most remarkable trials that
ever engaged the attention of any court in
this country is undoubtedly that of the eight
Anarchists, of Chicago, who are on trial for
their lives, the act with which they are
charged being the murder Of police officer
Matthias J. Degan, who was one of those
killed by the explosion of the dynamite
bomb. August Spies, Samuel Felden, Mi
chael Schwab, Chris Spies, G. R. Parsons,
George Engel, Adolph Fischer and Louis
IIingg are the accused.
The attack on the police occurred, it will
be remembered, on the evening of May 4
last. While the first shock of the affair lasted
it was thought that it would be next to i'm
possible to obtain evidence to convict mem-
bers of such secret oath-bound society.
But as the trial progressed the prosecution
has heaped surprise upon surprise in the way
of evidence, showing in q startling way that
the explosion of the bomb in the old Hay
market square was but the first move in a
carefully planned and long organized purpose
of annihilating the police and fire department
of the city Of Chicago, when the city would he
given over to pillage and a repetition of the
scenes in Paris during the reign Of the conf

From gentleman who has recently
been in Washington and had interviews
with leading senators he infsrs from
their statements that there is no serious
objections to to the passage of the bill
to annex North Idaho to Washington,
and that the bill will surely pass before
the adj tournament. The delay is for the
purpose of inducing friends of admis-
sion of the State of Washington in the
House to work the harder for tho pas
sage Of the admission till in the House,
Wnen it is ascertained that the admis-
sioa ni Is likely to fail in the House,
the Senate will Immediately call up the
anne xation bill and pass it by large
majority, as that majority believes it q
measure eminently just and proper for
the people OF North Idaho. II the adj
