Edison Will Exhibit Several Astonishing
Inventions at the Worlds Fair.


Inventions at the Worlds Fair
Thomas A. Edison the famous cleo
trician and inventor, is preparing to
astonish the world, by the exhibit he
will make at the worlds fair in 1893.

Show" said he recently, (which think
will both surprise and please the visi-
tors to the electrical department of the
exposition, which, by the way, l am
fully convinced, will be great success.
Two of these inventions are not yet
ready to be described, or even charac-
terized. The third, however, is so
nearly perfected, that do not hesitate
to say something about it.
hope to be able by the invention to
throw upon a canvass perfect picture
of anybody, and reproduce his words.
Thus, should Patti be singing some
where, this invention will put her full
length picture upon the canvas so per-
fectly as to enable one to distinguish
every feature and expression of her
face, and see all her actions and listen
to the enhancing melody of her peer

the eye what the photograph has done
for the voice, and reproduce the voice
as we'll, in fact, more clearly. have
already perfected the invention so far
as to be able to picture a prize fight
the two men, the ring, the intensely in
terested faces of those surrounding it
and you can hear the sound of the
blows, the cheers of encouragement and
the yells of disappointment. And when
this invention shall have been per-
fected," said Mr.. Edison with the trace
of enthusiasm's glow in his face, "a
man will be able to sit in his library at
home, and. having electrical connection
with the theater, see reproduced on his

one so it will command street corner,
and after letting it register the passing
sights for time, can have it cast
them on a canvas so that
every feature and motion OF the
passers. even to the twitch-
ing of the face, can be seen, and if
friend passed during the time you may
know it. This invention will be called
the 'Kinetograph. Tie first half of the
word signifies motion, and the last to
write, and both together mean the por-
trayal of motion. The invention COM

Mr.. Edison occupied nearly an acre

1893. The electrical exhibit is expected
to be the wonder of the exposition.

A "DzsCREDnTED WITNESS.
N. o. States.

N. o. States.
The anti papers, with a unanimity that re
yeals q prompt obedience to orders, are PRINT
ing an article from the New York Times, head
ed :" Trying to bride a State Inc aftlcIe OF

Ald is somewhat less hysterical. A noticeable
paragraph in the article referred to is the fol
lowing: The lottery was one OF the infamous
creations of the reconstruction government OF
Louisiana in 1865"
As our anti friends set great store by this
article from q New York paper, it is we'll to
remind them that no paper in the United
States did more, or, for that matteu9so much,
to sustain the Infamous caTpet-bag government
that controlled and blasted Louisiana in 1868
than this same New York Times. 1t was one
of the ablest journals in the country, and it
was one of the Staunchest and most unscrupu-
lous defenders 9th carpet bag regime. 1t took
the biggest hand amongst its contemporaries
in disappearing our people, i'll d~enounclng
them as irrecOncilable rebels, murderers OF ne
groes and Republicans, as a people, in short, who
could only be governed by the agency OF the
hangman and the p~enitentiary. 1t had it's cor
respondents paid to lie, in every section of the
South, and every riot or trouble OF any sort
which occurred here, was published by the
New York Times as a case of murder commit
ted by the whites of the localities in which ii
occurred. Indeed, there were no ten newspa-
pers in the North that, all combined, did so
much to uphold, by fair or foul means the in
famous government" which set up what it
now terms "that Infamous creation 1.-THE Lou
isiana Lottery-as the New York Times.
In these days, it was the self appointed mis-
sion of the New York Times to blacken the
name of Louisiana in the eyes of the world,
and it pursued it's mission with great ability,
at large expense and with untiring energy.
1t is true that, in these later days, the Times,
now that it is no longer polite or profitable
to defame and malign Louisiana, has fallen i'll
with the more liberal spirit of the age and,
to be just, We must say that, as an advocate
OF tariff reform, it has done good service. But re-
membePing that papers course toward Louisi-
ana, when Louisiana was friendless; when she
was being trampled under foot by Warnoth
and his gang, nearly all of whom are now anti
saints, that papers views as to what this State
should now do to relieve her financial difficult
ties, without further expressing her taxpayers,
should count but little in the estimation of
Louisianians
To all the comfort that the ants can get out
of the aid of the New York Times, which tram
pied on the South when the South was con-
quered and helpless, or out OF the mouthings of
the New York World, which is recognized as
the champion Matchmaking sheet in America,

An Alliance Cooperative
Scheme.

1t is reported from Minneapolis that the
business department of the Alliance in
twenty-five States has made a deal with
certain prominent merchants of New York,
and formed a company similar in it's plan
of operation to the celebrated Rochdale sys-
TEN in England. and to the cooperative
stores of Utah. The company is called the
National Union Company, and has a large
capital at its command. 1t will open and
operate stores in various parts of the country,
giving the members of the Alliance special
rates in return for its patronage.-N. o.

Not only do the aged Confederate veterans
OF tins State favor the revenue amendment,
bnt the sous of Confederate widowed mothers
do also for the reason that, in addition to
providing for the maintenance Of the Soldiers
Home, the amendment also provides for the
widows of veterans as well. AS the Der of
aged or crippled veterans in this State is less
than one thousand, and, as the sum provided
for them by the amendment is $50, 900, it will
be seen that the pro rata will increase from
year to year. Therefore not only is every
veteran, but the widow and children of every
victorian. virtually interested in the success Of
the amendment.

Better care of Confederate veterans and
