Edison's Democratic Ways.

Edison is Count millionaire anc tho most famous living inventor His present wealth which amounts to many millions, Is nothing compared witl what it will be in the next few years but he still works away in his iabora tory, and comes forward to greet you in just such suit of clothes as he wore twenty years ago. As compared with Edison's dingy little shop of twenty years ago. out al Menlo Park. in which be used to eat his bread and cheese seated on an old packing-box. talking over the work in hand with his two of three workmen, the present surround. ings arc fabulously luxurious. Every. thing shows uubounted means, which may be the case, when we remember that this famous laboratory costs t20O. GOO year to maintain. But the mas ter mind Is still the same. When he works il means work for his men. In the old days at Menso Park it was no uncommon thing for him to remain at ut the bench for forty-eight Hours at . stretch. sending one of the boys for crackers and cheese when he felt hun. gry. and not giving up until his assist ants had actually fell asleep standing up. To-day he is just as interested. = Itttsbarg Dfspatch.

 He motioned the crowd to follow, and ieaded by Willie, all those who were not ,lready too drunk to walk, marched across the room to the bar and were treat sd to whatever they called for

 "Mother, if Harry and I do not sell whisky there someone else will, and if there is money in the business we may as we'll have it as anyone. If man is deter mined to drink he will find some place where he can buy whisky, and if we should quit the business and close the house, he will go somewhere else to spend his money for drink"
 This kind of persuasion and argument was indulged in sometime during every visit George and Harry made to their old home.
 Mrs. Hines finally despaired of ever again having her boys with her only as they would come and go as visitors, and as there was so much to attend to on the farm she resolved to send for Uncle Nose, who had removed with his wife to Ala bama.
 Nose had been the slave of Mrs. Hines father when she was child and at her marriage he became her property; and. at the close of the war he begged to be al- lowed to remain on the plantation and live in the little cabin where he had SO long resided He was too old and infirm to do very much work and just before the death of Thomas Hines he was persuaded by his wife, Aunt Dorcas, to go to Alabama, the home of her early slave days.
 Nose had never been satisfied there, and his delight was inexpressible when he received the letter from his old mistress offering to him again the only real home he had ever known: and few days later he and his wife, with their household goods, arrived at their old home where they had spent so many happy years of real contentmept and it would have been a lifelong picture indelibly painted on the memory of anyone who witnessed the honest expression of true happiness that came over their black, wrinkled faces when they again entered the door of that dear little cabin home where they had ever had pleasure and the joys for which we all should live.
 70, home, sweet home,
 Be 1t ever so humble,
 There's no place like home."
 Uncle Nose assumed his old charge, that of managing the cattle and horses, experimenting the farm wor.s so far as he was able, and did odd jobs about the house, but the greater part of his time was spent in improving and bcautifying his own little home which was to him a perfect paradise and the dearest spot on earth.
 But in his happiest hours there was one thought that always brought with it a sting of remorse. The sweet, sad face of Hettie told him the wrong he had unin- tentionallv done her in plainer langrs, ,s

A SUNDAY RAID ON GAMBLERS.
Inc alexandria Sheriff Makes q Visit
to "NO Mans Land"

Sheriff Veitch Of Alexandria county selected
yesterday afternoon as the time for another
raid on the gamblers in mo Mans Land, " as
the police call the strip on the Virginia shore
OF the Potomac above the Free bridge. where
the gamblers have conducted their business
for a long time apparently with immunity that
caused them serious annoyance or expense.
Deputy Sheriff Burch was the officer who made
the advance. and he fired pistol shot as a sig
mai for the raid by Sheriff Vetch and his posse.
The deputy sheriff arrested a man named Jas.
Norris, who was conducting game of ''over
and under seven" The others who assisted in
tbs raid captured number OF witnesses. but
the big games in the houses closed down be-
fore the sheriff's officers could get chance at
them. The arrest of Norris for conducting all
open air game pleased those who ran inside
games, as the former draws heavily from the
lat'tr's patronage. The sheriff. II Is stated. in
tends to continue the raids until that strip Of
country Is cleared of gamblers. Squire Burch's
house was reached soon afteI the raid. The
county magistrate held Norris in $3.50 security
Tor the action OF the county grand jury. Norris
was subsequently released on the deposit OF 80
collateral and a promise to give bonds today
After the trial the sheriff broke up a game of
base ball that was being played on the hill near
ROsslyn.

JUDGE MILLS FIRST DAY.
He Begins with a Crowded Court and
Makes Some New Rules.

Judge Miller's summer vacation began today
and Justice Samuel {. Mills presided i'll the Police
Court. 1t was good day for the judge to be-
gin his vacation az there were sixty prisoners
IN court for trial besides the many cases in
which collateral had been deposited. The
number of prisoners necessited the presence Of
great number of witnesses and the atmos-
phere was anything but healthy. The only
cells provided for the accommodation of pris-
oners were entirely too small to receive them
and those who were placed in the two dark
holes suffered intensely from the heat Prison
Keeper Hardin did all IN his power to relieve
the unfortunate victims of the laws strong arm.
Some were taken from the cells and distrib-
uted along the corridor and more than dozen
OF them were given seats in the corner of the
court room where the jury will sit when the
bill providing jury tor the court passes
The BLACK Maria" made four or five trips
to court from the various police stations. 80
that the prisoners were shown every warm
weather consideration possible.
There was even dozen women among the
lot, and less than fifteen OF the slxty-four pris-
Oners were white.
When Judge Mills took his seat on the
bench he saw a heavy days work before him,
but 1t was not a new thing for him to hold
court and he disposed of the cases as rapidly
90 Po''ioio' a. ~ oaihe hme giving every one
brought before the court a fair show TO pre-
sent their evidence and make their defense
Just after the court convened Judge Mills
laid down the rules to be observed while he
is holding court The judge said that in the
first place good order must be maintained as
II is not fair either to the court or the prisoners
that there should be much noise while the wit
nesses are giving their testimony. There must
not be 50 much unnecessary walking about the
court, the judge said, while cases are being
tried, and there must not be so much con-
versing, except on court business, as to render
it almost impossible tor the prisoner to hear
what is said against him or to even hear the
sentence of the court. Such order must pre-
vail to allow the court to dispose of its busl-
ness without disturbance, and II it cannot be
done the court will ask for the detail of an ofii-
Ger to enforce these rules.
