The decoration conferred upon Mr.. Edison by
King Humbert is a we!LdeservGl honor, but it does
not carry with it the title of count was at first
enormously supposed. The insignia of grand
officer Of the Crown of Italy will entitle TO the
distinction Of being addressed at Rome as COM

remain plain Thomas A. Edison, and not be turned
into a butt Of rdcule in America as an Italian

does not need decorations from monarchcal courts,
but when he receives them in recognition of his
scientific investigations and worldwide fame as
an inventor honor is reflected upon his country.

FILTRATION BY MIRROR.

Chances Discovered In Buffalo.


A Novel Method of Exchanging Tender
Chances Discovered in Buffalo.
Buffalo Courier.I
A filtration by the aid of a mirror seems
like novel idea, an d yet this was the unique
performance witnessed by the Arounder
yesterday afternoon. They were standing
in front of a soda fountain-drinking of
course-a youth, and a maiden. She was
passing fair, shy. susceptible, and he,
thoughtful, even on the dreamy order, i'm
pressionable perhaps, but withal a fair spec
linen of intellectual young manhood. 1t was
not until they raised their glasses to their
lips that they met each others eyes in the
large mirror above the fountain. She
blushed and looked down into her glass, and
he grew slightly crimson about the ears
and looked out into the street. Presently
they raised their glasses a second time, and
having grown bolder, they looked little
longer each into the others eyes and blushed
a shade deeper. Then came another breath
ing spell. For their lives they dared not
turn and look each other SO uarely in the
face, but the glasses seemed to make matters
little safer at long range.
Finally he though hit he would have another
glass, it was such excellent flavor" and
she bless her sweet lips thought her glass
was trife too sweet and asked the clerk if
he wouldn't please put in little more soda.
By the druggists clock they were just six
minutes drinking their glasses of soda, and
as she walked slowly down the street, tap
ping her parasol thoughtlully on the pave
ment, and he watched her dreamily from
the druggists door, the Arounder wondered
fit was not possible for matches to be made
at soda fountains as we'll as in heaven.

An Expeunder and Defender OF Mormon
Doctrines In Canada.
ESPECIAL TELxeRAn TO THE DrsPArcH.I
OTTAWA, August 9.-Mr. A. Maitland
Stenhouse, the British Columbian Legisia-
tor, who has resigned his seat in the Assem-
bly, to join the Mormon colony, at Leth-
bridge, Northwest Territory, and comes for
ward as the champion Of polygamy, and as
an exponent and defender of the Mormon
doctrines, will contest that constituency at
the coming general elections for the Domin-
ion Parliament.
He says that polygamy will soon become
one of the institutions OF the territories, and
believes that ii properly represented in Par
lament, many of the restrictions which
now make polygamy illegal will be with
drawn, and the prejudices which now exist
against the sect overcome. He says that only
among the Latter-Day Saints are the rights
of women fully recognized and admitted.
His plan for reforming the marriage laws OF
the Dominion, he says, is the substitution
of polygamy Tor monogamy. He lauds the
intelligence and industry of the Mormon,
and says that if the Mormon, like the
Chinese, must 90, monogamy, with its foul
following of betrayals and worse will 60

Notwithstanding the efforts OF the Gov
ernment to prevent it, reports reaching here
from the Northwest say, that The Mormons
are not waiting for the Stenhouse legisla-
tion, but are openly practicing polygamy.

How Postal Clerk who Advertised Sc

CINCINNATI, August 9.-Guyon Rob-
erts, then railway postal clerk on route
running out of Independence, Kan, three
years ago advertised in Cincinnati paper
for lady correspondent. 1t was simply
a desire for Irritation that prompted
him. Among those who answered the
advertisement was Miss Sake Adair, daugh-
ter of DIR. G.. w. Adair, a well-known den-
tist of Carlisle, KY, and who also has 8
large practice in Paris, KY, the family be-
ing among the very best in that Com
monwealth. The correspondence was car
ried on with increasing ardor. Photographs
were exchanged, and finally Miss Sake
wrote Eyes" in answer to a query as to
whether she would take Guyon for better or
worse.
That was two years ago, and until last
Saturday the widely. separated lovers, who
had become such through the mails, had
never met At the Gibson House, in this
city, a meeting was arranged. and they were
not disappointed with each other. They re-
newed their vows, and last night quietly
plighted their troth for good and for aye.
The newly-united pair will leave in the
morning for st. Louis. They will spend
their honeymoon there, and then settle
down in Judsonia, Ark, where Mr.. Roberts,
since the last national election, has estab-
lished real estate business.

A MYSTERY IN A TOMB.
A Wonderful White Vino That Suddenly
Changed Into Ashes.

A Wonderful White Vine That Suddenly
Changed Into Ashes.
Augusta eGa.) Chronicle.l
For some years there were no deaths and
the silence Of the tomb was unbroken, save
for the visits Of loved ones who knelt with
out and offered a prayer for the dead or paid
loving tribute to their virtues. At last
death came once more. The good old grand
mother bowed to the will of time and dear
ones gathered to pay their. last respects.
The solemn procession wound its slow way
to the cemetery.
The door of the vault moved heavily on
its hinges as it swung back to receive its
dead. A flood of golden sunlight filed
the tomb, dispelling the gloom and reveal
ing strange sight. There, creeping along
the walls and over the coffins, was white
vine. Pure and pearly it stood out in bold
relief against the dark background and
glistened in the sunlight. There was no
mistaking the resemblance. It was almost
q perfect urn.
But the wonder did not stop here. Curl
ing further on, it formed letter D, the
family initial. Astonishment ceased not
here. Itwas triple mystery, and the eli
max was yet to be reached. The minister
offered up the prayer: "Ashes to ashes and
dust to dust" Those who were looking at
the white vine saw it trembIe, then it shook
and fell in fragments, scattering over the
cofins of the dead.

CUPOLA IRON WORKS.
A Patent Process for Making the Pig
Metal. .
Mr.. J. S. 0URSLER TALKS.

The iron foundry of Messrs. Neal Bros.
on Preble avenue. Allegheny, is one OF the
most interesting plasss OF the kind in the
city to visit, owing to the peculiar mode by
which the pig iron is manufactured. It is
known as the cupola process, and they have
a patent of their own for making it. Mr.. j.
s. OursIer. of No. 20 Orchard street, Allie
gkeny, is the engineer at the works, and to
him the writer is indebted for the following
interesting interview.

seemed to be nothing more than
a severe cold. Gradually it began to grow
worse. My nostrils became clogged, and I
seldom breathed through my nose. My
head was all stopped up and I had much
headache between and directly over the
eyes. There was buzzing and roaring
sound in my ears, which finally became

with nv hearing. Oftentimes when asleep
at night would be awakened by sharp
report as of something bursting in my ear.
"This condition continued for long time,
and finally I went to physician for treat

others, but all with the same effect; grew
worse instead of better.
"a dry, hacking cough had been added
to my troubles, and was coughing con-
tinually. 1 could feel the mucous dropping
back from my head into my throat, and

B0ULANGER A BAD MAN.
Very Long Array of Charges Made
Against Hin by the Government.

-
Against Hin by the Government.
PARIS, August 9.-The trial of General
Roulanger before the'high court Of the SEN
ate was resumed to-day. The Procureur
General, continuing his address, charged
that General Boulanger had held veritable
political court at Clermont. Ferrsnd, when
he was in command of the troops there.
He had originated secret iptrigues, electoral
agitation and a system for corrupting ON
cials. Notwithstanding these acts, he had
written to the War Office disclaiming any
connection with what had been done in his
name. Here there were protests from the
Senators belonging to the party Of the
Right. The Procureur General declared
there were documents before the Court
which clearly marked the downward path
of General Boulanger from insubordinatlon
to intrigue, falsehood and conspiracy. The
Government had also evidence to show that
General Boulanger had tried to have con-
veyed to Prince Bismarck the information
that he (Boulsnger) only desired to be ap-
pointed Consul fo- life.
The Procureur General described the pro-
ceedings of the League of Patriots at Roche
fort, and the initial steps of the attempt
against the State, which commenced with
the scene at the Lyons depot, when Bou-
LANCER started for Clermont- Ferrand, and
continued until the Longchamp's review,
when Boulanger was hiding in Paris await
ing the result of his manifesto. The Pro-
cureur's speech was received with many i'm
patient cries of "adjourn. adjourn. The
trial was finally adjourned.

and on the line rod, and an angler held
the rod. The Trout soon disappeared from

PAINTING THE TOWN RED.
OriEii Of 4 Phrase Which Soon Came Into
General Use.

Origii of Phrase Which Soon Came Into
General Use.
'Ps !inting the town red" meaning to see
the sights or have lively and convivial
time while seeing town, had its origin with
thea .trical advance agent. He went to
town. found his bills had not reached there,
and h I'D only short time to get new ones
The oil lly printing Office there had red ink
only with which to print them. He had to
prom Vi Sc the printers and bill posters to treat
them to get his work out after working
hours BY these means he soon had the
town in blaze of red, making a confiagra-
ton of posters, and he and the printers and
bill posters became hilariously drunk over
the affair. The next morning the people
were astonished at the display of red post
ers.
The paper wrote it up and the story spread
and became celebrated The agent in tell
ing it said: ST took those fellows out and
got them drunk, and we painted the town
red. " Since then the phrase has become
gen' ,ral. 1t is not elegant, but it is forcible
and has enough meaning in it, as drinking
has tendency to turn things red, to stay.
It " ill become permanent.
