EDISOS'S BOYHOOD.
The Wizards FIRST Great Invenlion the
Result OF an Accident.
1Chicago Herald.

'But nothing is too wonderful for
Edison to produce When I look back
to twenty-five years ago and put Tom
Edison, as I knew him then, alongside
of the Thomas A. Edison Of to-day,
and note what has taken place, I am
prepared almost for anything. Twen-
ty-fve years ago, as I sat by Edison in
a New York telegraph office, little
thought that there slumbered within
that man the fires ola genius that would
startle the world. There was nothing
wonderful about Edison. A plain and
unpretentious man, he came and went
without troubling anyone with his con-
versation. Perhaps he spoke to me
more than to any other man in the
place, because we sat at adjoining
tables.
"One day his wire gave out or went
wrong in some way. He was working
New Haven; I was operating Boston.
He started to fix it, and while thus en-
gagged his message came back over my
wire. I called him:
''Tom can you explain this ?'
"He looked for moment and then
remarked:
Why, that is caused by induction !;
the two wires are near each other
'He went off and shortly afterward
came seemingly lost in thought.
"Yes, that's what causes it, he re-
peated. I wonder if we could devise a
plan like that to make two circuits on
one wire so that two men could send
and two others receive at the same
time?"
"And he went back to his instru-
ment. Out of that little accident he
devised the duplex telegraph system.
Then followed the quadruplex, and
these have saved the telegraph COM
pany millions of dollars"
Had Edison before that shown any
inventive genius?"
He had been working on a tele-
graph system, but be discovered that
the Wheatstone system-I think that
is the name-covered the ground and
he gave it up. You know the rest.
Edison's achievements are now no
secret.
"The steps leading up to that per-
fected phonograph, how Edison dis
covered that the sound waves of the
human voice might be so directed as to
trace an impression upon solid sub
stance, are just as wonderful. Edison
found it almost accidentally while be
was experimenting with different
object in view. In manipulating a
machine intended to repeat Morse
characters, he found that when the
cylinder carrying the indented paper
was tnrned with swiftness it gave off a
humming noise. That let to several
experiments, such as fitting a dia-
phragm to the machine, which would re-
ceive the vibrations by the voice. The
cylinder, when rapidly revolved,
caused repetition of the original vi
brations, just as if the the machine it,
self were speaking. That settled the
matter, and Edison found that the
problem of registering human speech,
so that it could be repeated by me-
chanical means as often as might be
desired, was solved. Yes, Edison is a
genius"

What Smokers Get for Five-Cents'
From the PHILADELPHIA Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
There is, however, one point in COM
mon with all cigars, and that is they
contain acetic, formic, buteric, valerie,
proprionic, prussic, and carbolic acids;
creosote, sulphuretted hydrogen, piri-
dine, veredine, picoline, and rubidene,
and therefore one must not expect to
get good one for less than five cents.

WASHINGTON, April 4.-The Post
has been interviewing the Iowa
senators anu representatives on the
probability Of the appeal or modifi-
cation OF the Iowa prohibition law.
The result was n substantially uni
form expression Of belief that the
law would stand unrepealed. In
theirinterviews they very generally
expressed the opinion that the law
had been beneficial and the de-
crease in crime and the consequent
Iessening OF expenses for criminal
and eleemosynary institutions, was
largely due to the prohibitory law.
The prohibition sentiment, the ma
jority Of them thought, was as
strong as ever, and several or the
gentlemen ascribed the result Of the
last election to the railroad question
more than TO anything else.
Congressman Hayes, the only
democrat from Iowa, says: las re-
publicans control the Senate and
can block the House, think nothing
will be done. / don't think the Law
will be repealed, but 1t is possible
that some Of the republicans may,
through public sentiment join the
democrats in n stringent license law.
The present prohibitory system i
not sustained by the majority of the
people. and never was. It's absO-
lutte failure to accomplish any good
and the positive evils flowing from
it have caused sentiment greatly
against it."
He thought other questions deter
mined last fall'selection, notably the
tariff.

Negro Colonization Question.

ANN ARBoR, Mich, April AN
interesting debate was held this
evening in the law lecture room OF
the Michigan University between
students representing the law and
literary departments, the question
being whether or not colonization
Of the negro would be for the best
interests Of the United States. The
judges were professors Of the faculty.
Their decision was in the negative.
Among points argued by the
students for the affirmative were,
The inferiorfty Of the colored race:
from biblical and scientific stand
points; evil must result from ming
ling superior and inferior raees
under the same government; the
determination or amalgamatiOn of
the colOred race is manifestly i'm
possible, hence, colonization is the
only solution; the negroes removal
would settle the Southern question
and put an end TO the present lack
Of prosperity in the South. In Lii
IBERIA he would be his own master
and would civilize Africa.
The students arguing in the mega
tive held tina. compulsory colonial
toin would be unconstitutional and
a law for optional colonization would
be necessarily ineffective. Grant
ing the constitutionality, the cost Of
removal would be excessive. The
negro is an American citizen, en-
titled TO the rights Of citizenship.
Remove him and the cotton indus
try Of the South would suffer ire
parable harm. They argued that he
is advancing, morally and intellec-
tually.

CHICAGO, April 4.-The Times
New York: The startling Informal
ton that the government has been
robbed Of Sl,OO0,O 200 through the
importation of goods on which no
duty WINS paid caused vast excite
ment among custom house officials
today. The details are unknown
among them. The information
came in a cablegram from United
States Consul Deverick at Leipsic.
The frauds are said TO be enormous
importation of gloves from Ger
many, which the merchants Of New
York and other cities managed 10
smuggle through without the pay
ment Of duties. The cablegram was
sent direct to Washington. The
custom house officials I'm New York
only knew Of it through the report,
which is well authenticated. 1t is
known that the cablegram is now in
the possession Of the Treasury Off
cials, who want more definite in
formation with the greatest interest.
They are inclined TO think the most
enormous scheme TO defraud the
government that has ever been
known will be disclosed.

MAYS LANDING, y. j., April 4.
The misfortune which h1s come
upon the farmers at the town Of
Germania causes intense excite
ment all over southern New Jer-
sey. Over forty families are now
homeless. Sheriff johnson Of At
lantic County has sold within the
last six days 200 farms to salty mort
cages which have been foreclosed.
One farmer was evicted, George
King. His misfortune made him
crazy and he set fire to his home
and burned it TO the ground, dying
himself in the flames. Another
farmer, Fred Wersbe, barricaded
himselfin his house and announced
his intention to keep possession or
die.
The farms and land belonged to
the Gloucester Land Company,
which was organized thirty years
ago. The farmers purchased or
leased these places from the land
company, which was unable TO meet
the obligations to the Colwell estate,
which had a mortgage Of 500 on
the land. The farmers did not have
clear titles TO the property, and the
foreclosure proceedings followed.
