Edison's Latest Wonder.

The recent Chicago interview with
Edison, in which he was represented
as claiming that he had invented q
machine which would enable him to
reproduce not only the sounds of q
dramatic or operate performance,
but the action, the figures, the facial
expression of the performers, read
like a hoax, but two New York papers
last week contained detailed descrip-
tions of the invention, which Edison
calls the 'kinetograph." 1t does not
appear that the machine can repro
duce for the benefit OF persons at u
distance the performance OF an opera
while il is actually being given on the
stage. but that, with the aid of the
monograph and the photographers
camera. the sounds and pantomime
can be registered and afterward given
with the aid of u photograph, stere-
opticon and screen, so as practically
to present the entertainment as 1t
appeared on the stage. 1t Is claimed
that the photograph Will render the
music and the Photographic apparatus
will reproduce the performers so that
their presence on the stage will be
depicted, every muscle OF their faces
will be seen to work, their strides,
movements, all will be true to nature.
In other words, the camera will give
a continuous picture of Il singer on
the stage for say thirty minutes, all
his motions and gestures, while its
ally, the photograph, will record
every note he utters. 70 produce
this result it was necessary for the
inventor to be able to take a series of
instantaneous photographs, following
each other in such quick succession
that no lapse Of time can be detected
between the impressions recorded, and
the series Of pictures become IN effect
but one continuous picture. This, 1t
is said, Mr. Edison has succeeded In
doing with the aid of an electric
motor, operating at the same time
monograph and camera. As yet
the machine is in its experimental
stage, but Mr.. Edison is said to be
confident of complete success. He is
reported to have actually constructed
a model which does what he claims
for the finished instrument, and to
have given private exhibition of its
workings. When the invention is
worked out to perfection any number
of duplicates of the cylinders record
ing sounds and strips of gelatine re-
cording scenes can be struck of, so
that any one possessing a machine
can, by procuring the duplicates,
have performance of any opera,
entertainment, prize-fight, public meet
ing, SC, which has been "kineto-
| praphed.n

From Natures Storehouse.

1t stands to reason that a medicine
which will destroy the germs of con
tagious blood poison and counteract
the effects of mercurial poisoning may
be depended on to overcome the dis
eases that have their origin in malaria,
or that have their seat in an impure
condition of the blood. This is what
S. S. S. has done, and what it will do,
as its popularity attests. AS a pre-
ventive, and remedy for the long
list of affections that display their ac-
tivity during the spring and summer
months, it stands without rival.
The secret of this is that it is rene
dy drawn from natures own store
house.

There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven catarrh to be con-
stitutional disease, and therefore re-
ouires constitutional treatment. Halls

THE Republican papers have here
tofore grinned in ghoulish glee
whenever a Democratic official hap
pened to 60 wrong. They moralized
ut great length over Democratic
wickedness when Stevenson Archer,
the State Treasurer of Maryland, was
shown up as a defaulter. Now, how
ever, the shoe is on the other foot, for
Philadelphia's city treasurer. John
Bardsley, is in prison, by his own con-
fession a criminal and defaulter. His
dishonesty can be charged up to the
Republican party with just as much
propriety as Stevenson Archer's could
be to the Democratic. Both are in
stances of good men gone wrong be-
cause they were unable to Withstand
the temptations to which they were
exposed by political chance.

western trip, and although a trife
tired is full of enthusiasm over his

the great interest which the people of

drift of sentiment toward tariff re-
form which he found even in strong
Republican sections. He saw every

Tryinu to Land a Human Fish.

A novel and interesting contest
took place in the big swimming tank
of the New York Athletic Club last
Monday night The affair was fish
ing match, in which Mr.. w. F. Cheese
brough, as angler, tried to Land
Mr.. Frank Wells, the well-known am
ateur swimming champion and cap
tain of the n. Y. a. G. water polo
team. A solid bamboo tarpon rod,
seven feet two inches long, a multi
plving reel and stout line were used
by the angler The line was fast
ened to harness secured to Mr..
Wells's head. After swimming half
the length of the tank without feeling
the rod the fish was 'snobbed. "
He kept right on, though, and man
aged to hold his own in spite of
strain Of twenty-five or thirty pounds
which was kept on him. The pole
bent nearly double, aud the fisher
man was once very nearly pulled
overheard Finally, by a sudden
effort, Mr.. Wells broke the line, after
having been in the water nearly half
an hour. He was accordingly de-
clared the victor. The new game
took immensely with the 200 specta-
tors who were present, and will no
doubt become a regular sport at the
club. Mr. Wells will make another
trial in a few days with a stronger
line

He Made Ben Butler Vince.

1t was during the closing hours of
the Forty-third Congress, when Ben
Butler was forging chains for the
South, that Mr.. Brown delivered the
famous philippe against Butler. He
concluded as follows:
I'm Scotland, years ago, there was
a man whose trade was murder, and
he earned his livelihood by selling
the bodies of his victims for gold.
This mans name was linked to his
crimes, and to-day, throughout the
world, it is known as Burking. If |
were to characterize all that was pu-
sillanimous in war, inhuman in peace,
forbidding in morals and Infamous III
politics, | should call it ButleriZing.
Brown was censurcd by the Speak
err and wore it as badge Of honor.
He is the only man who ever pierced
the rhinoscerOnian hide of Ben But
Ter. Mr.. Brown had to some extent
dropped from notice, but he will be
the next Governor of Kentucky. He
was nominated by the Democrats
for that position a few days ago.
Some fancy the charms Of the lly-white
maid,
or ethereal form and languishing eye,
Who faints In the sunshine anu droops III
the shade,
And is always lust ready to die
But give me the girl of the sunshiny face,
The blood In whose veins courses healthy
and free,
With the vigor of youth in her movements
of grace,
Oh, that is the maiden for me!
She is the girl to ''tie to" for life.
The sickly, complaining woman may
be an object of love and pity, but she
ceases to be thing of beauty worn
down by female weakness and dlsor-
ders, subject to hysteria and martyr
to bearing down pains. DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is u sure cure
for these distressing complaints, and
will transform the feeble, dropping
sufferer into healthy, happy, bloom

Stat the door against disease. Danger comes oft enest through impure blood. Keep your blood in order, and you keep in health. For this, nothing equals Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovl cry. It invigorates the liver, puri- ies and enriches the blood, and rouses every organ into healthy ac- |ltion. By this means it cures. Ev- lery part of the system feels its saving influence. Dyspepsia, Indi- gestion, .Biliousness,s Scrofulous, Skin and Scalp Diseases - even Sonsu1nption or. Lung scrofula ) in it's earlier stages, all yield to it. It's the only Liver, Blood and Lung Remedy that's guaranteed to bene- fit or cure, or the money is re- funded. Trying terms to sell on = but it's medicine that can carry them out.
 Golden Medical Discovery 5 contains no alcohol to inebriate, and no syrup or sugar to derange digestion.
 It's concentrated vegetable ex- tract; put up in large bottles ; pleasant to the taste, and equally good for adults or children.
