WIZARD EDISON of Mento Park bottled
up some interesting information in his
latest perfected phonograph, and then
sent the instrument 5000 miles away to
London. The information, conveyed in
Edison's own voice to lis friend, Was to
this effect; "This is The first instrument
of nv latest model that has been outside
my laboratory or that has left my hands,
and consequently is the first to reach
England" This phonogram was receiV-
ed ten days after Mr.. Edison had uttered
it. The old inquiry: "Can the dead
speak?'' is answered. They can. 1t is
now possible to reproduce the exact
language and intonation of one who has
passed from this life to eternity.

The immigration into the United

exceeded that of the previous year by
$4,000 persons. More than $4,000 peo-
pie were received from foreign lands and
given homes and employment, mostly in
the thinly settled sections of the West
and Northwest. This number has never
been exceeded save in the years 1881,
1882 and 1888, and the indications are
that the rate of increase will be onsinu-
ed throughout tho coming year. There
is no sign of diminution in the flow.

ing AZ any kid of his age. Possibly he
has inherited a taste for nefarious
practises but that remains TO be
proven. During tn" past few days
Gene has been the en- W OF his small
boy playmates from the fact OF YEAR
ing a nice pair of Indian moccasins,
nicely made and beaded. Where
Gene got these foot-coverings has not
yet been firmly established. Charles
Smith, Of Smith & Haynes, deals in
Indian goods, and had an idea that
Gene had been pilfering. He looked
over his stock yesterday morning and
was positive that the gaudy moccasins
Gene was wearing belonged in stock.
Without taking time to see Genes
mother and explain the case to her
Charley went over TO the school
house, where Gene Was busy investi-
eating the mysteries OF the slate and
second reader, and inquired for the
youngster, who was sen to the DOR
to see what Was wanted. Charley
seized young Gene by the nape of the
neck, without any preliminarles, and
taking him oyer to the store deposited
him In the cellar, closing and locking
the door.
AT noon Gene did not return home
to dinner al usual, but one of his
schoolmates detailed the occurrence to
Mrs. Turner, who Immediately pre-
pared TO go onthe warpath. Luckily
for Smith-Judge Butler happened
along about this time and on being in
formed Of the affair advised Mrs.
Turner to hold up and the proper legal
steps could be instituted for the pro-
duction of the hoy. However, before
any hsbeas corpus action could be set
agoiDg, the small boy about whom all
the fuss was being made put in an ap-
pearance, having been released by his
captor.
Mrs. Turner is thinking strongly of
q suit for damages. claiming that the
boy came honestly by the moccasins,
as she herself received them from an
IDdian in pay ment for a square meal.
