AN exchange calls attention to the
fact that if Mr.. Cleveland is renominated
he will b9 the first Presidential candidate
who was not citizen of any state, and
consequently was not voter. A year or
two ago, when called upon to pay taxes in
Buffalo, he refused. and notified the au.
thorities of that city that he was no long

residence IN the District Of Columbia. If
asked what State he halls from, his reply
is that he is not not citizen of any state,
but DISTINGUISHED resident of the Dis

Which Aaye been effected by Hoods
Sarsaparilla are sufficient proof that this
medicine does possess peculiar curative
power. In the severest cases of scrofula
or salt rheumwhen other preparations had
been powerless, the: use of Hoods Sar,
saparilla has brought about the happiest
results. The case of Miss Sarah G. Whit
tier, of Lowell. Mass, who suffered ter
ribly from scrofulous sores; that of Chas
A. Roberts, of East Wilson, N. Y, who
had thirteen assesses on his face and
neck; that of Willie Duff, of Walpole,
Mass, who had hip disease and scrofula
so bad that physicians said be could not
recover. are few of the many instances
in which wonderful cures were effected
by this medicine.

Very few people outside of business
circles have any idea how much profit
there is on certain lines of goods, but
the following incident throws consid-

A country merchant not far from
Austin, who does all his trading in that
city, became financially embarrassed.
Being an honest man he came to Austin
to notify his creditors of his condition.
One of his creditors is Nose scbaum-

THE TALKING MACHINE.
An Illustration Of the Wonder
full Phcnograph as Fin
ished.

We present our readers this week a
view of the finished phonograph as it
will appear when in general use. This
is the first illustration OF the perfect
commercial photograph that has been
published, the instrument being the
result of the most caroill work OF Mr..
Thomas A. Edison and bis associate,
Mr.. Il. Gilliland. 1t occupies q space
OF less than two feet in length and six
inches in width. the very efficient little
electric motor being contained in the
box beneath. A small battery-a bat
terry that has been perfected to the sat-
isfaction of the aboye-named electri-
clans and that is saying a good deal
is connected with the motor, and it is
estimated will last for six months, the
one now in use at the laboratory hav-
ing as yet given no indications of de-
terioratson, although it has been in
constant daily use for several months.
When the phonograph was first invent
ed, the main idea was to secure loud
ness. a natural result of the numerous
public exhibitions that were being
made. Later work has been in the
line of accuracy and clearness, results
which have been attained to perfec-
ton.
Judging the photograph from the
point Of commercial use, there can not
fail to be great field for it. The
typewriter can use both hands in copy
ing from it, controlling its operation 10y
her foot. should she desire o sentence
repeated. No foreign noises interfere
with the recording of the speakers
words. It's adjustment is simple, and
not at all sensitive-not near SO deli
cate as the telephone transmitter.
The illustration shows the speaking
tube, to be seen at the bottom of the
box, which slips on to the small copper
socket of the photograph devoted to
recording shown directly above the
scalel, and also shows the double ear
phone, which fits down over the speak
ing, or rather the respeaking. part.
The change from recording to talking
back" is instantly made, every instru-
ment being n complete recording and
talking machine. The photograph has
one instrument for talking into to make
the phonogram, and another to repro
duce the speech. Both are fixed to 9
swinging plate or turn-table, as will he
seen, and set with guides so as to over.

SHOOTING OUT FIRE ENGINES.
A New Scheme for subduing Flames.

New Scheme ior SuDuuing FLAMES.
Our cities are getting so large that
even Maud S. and Jay-Eye-See could
not pull squirting machine to a dis

train it would not reach the scene I'M
til some superfuous relative had been
wildly tossed out of the fifth-story
window. Flames can greedily devour
yard after yard of costly kalsomine,
and revel in rare hemlock wainscoting,
ere the Croton leaps through the
brown-paper glass to drive away the
fire demon. In London novel system
is being introduced, which will coun-
teract this evil of long distances. A
new city hall is being built, with re-
volving turret tower, having huge port
holes and guns. The guns are ex-
ira large mortars, and quite roomy
enough to admit a modern fire
engine. A long pole Extending above
all surrounding objects) will be erected
at each fire alarm box throughout the
city, and same will be surmounted by
bright-red disc. Under this new sys-
tenn, when the patrolman touches the
alarm the disc aloft vibrates rapidly,
which attracts the eye of the watcher
in the city-hall tower; whereupon the
mortars are aimed ut the red mark, The
turret revolves, and as each gun reaches
its proper angle the engine within is
shot toward the conhagration, reaching
its hydrant in very vulgar fraction of
