Edison has invented new dinner clock
which talks, Instead Of striking the hour
it speaks it, At dinner time voice issues
from the clock and says "Dinner time," also
II O'Clock" "2 O'Clock" etc, as the case may
be. Another device which he is perfecting
in connection with the clock is that OF Il
female lace, which he purposes to set in the
face of the clock The lips of this figure
will move at the hour, the head will bow
and the fictitious lady will say, "Good even

A rather interesting fact was stated in
Mondays session of the Prison Conference,
at Boston. II was that in no country is
convict labor more than a small part Of one
per cent of free labor. and that in this coun-
try one fifth OF one per cent. represents the
Importance OF the competition OF prison
products. This is much smaller than most
people believed.

ROBBERY.

1t is said the United States has $120,000,-
900 surplus in its Treasury. How did it get
there? To whom does it belong? Are the
people richer or poorer by having this money
taken from them? What good does this
money do the people locked up in the vaults
of the Treasury?
The Hon. Louis e. McComas votes to take
$60,000000 more this year from the people
to add that much more to the surplus.
Will some of our good Republican breth
rem tell us how by taking this enormous
amount Of money from the people their
wealth and prosperity are to increase?
Now add to this surplus the additional
sums the people are compelled to pay for
everything they use and wear. | know OF
but one rule that will solve this problem,
take away all that a man hath in worldly
goods, and make him believe he is rich and
prosperous. This rule must be in the Re
publican arithmetic.

The Strike In Chicago.

CHICAGO, Oct. 9-The two great street
car systema of the West and North sides
hive now tied up. The strike On the west
side began this morning as soon as the Last
night car was run into the barns. For a
time last night it seemed as if this new com
plicaiion could be avoided and the original
strike settled amcably, but the peace nego
tiations which were conducted in Mayor
Roche's private office failed, because the
company and the men could not agree Cd
the subject OF wages President Yerkes
opened the difference with an offer TO cor.
rect the present system of hours as far aa
possible. An agreement was reached on
this point, but when the wage question was
taken up the men insisted upon % cents per
hour for grip men. 2Sc for Trail and grip con
ductors and &c for horse car men. Mr.
Yerkes offered 20c for horse car men aud
2lo for grip car man. The strikers refus
ed to make any concession and after much
argument the conference broke up. a com
miltee of West Sida car zen waa waiting TO
learn the result, and when the failure 10
reach an agreement was reported their chair.
man said strike would be ordered and hur
rled away. A committee of the strikers
waited upon the Mayor early in the evening
10 complain about the retention Of special
detectives to guard the company's barns.
These specials, they argued, were msnaoe
to life aud they also denied that they we're
need d by the company. The city police,
said their chairman, can give Mr. Yerkes
all the protection he needs and while they
are around there will be but little danger of
any serious outbreak. The committee left
and short time sftssward the Mayor sent
for President Yerkes, whom he asked to
discharge the detectives He said he would
furnish enough policemen to protect the
company's barns Mr. Yetkes promptly
acqueeced in he request, and the specials
were supplanted By regular policemen. It
is said this morning that the executive COM
