Marital Departures.
From the Ne,o York World
There was prominent business man In
Washington whose disappearance was re-
corded several years ago. He walked out
Of the house after breakfast one morning
and did not return. The newspapers re-
corded his disappearance and the family was
distracted. at first the usual report of
financial troubles started, but this was
found to be groundless Two wears passed
without any word from the absent man,
and then one morning he arrived ia a vest
ern town, to which his family had moved,
aud told she story Of his absence.
The morning that he left Washington he
had gone TO the depot, driven by an uncon-
trollable impulse, bought ticket for New
York and boarded the train. Arriving in
the metropolis he took a Liverpool steamer.
In Liverpool he walked from the steamers
dock 20 another wharf and took pas
sage on sailing vessel without any idea of
the ships destination. When his normal
senses returned to him, after an interval of
two years, he found himself engaged as
bookkeeper on big sheep ranch in New
South Wales, Australia. Thereupon he
dropped his new situation as suddenly as he
had taken 1t up and retraced his travels
back to America.
Another Washingtonian took a similar
trip abroad for i've months, with
the difference that he did nos lose
his senses. He was engaged in a social game
of poker with q number of friends
late one night, and somewhat under
the influence of cheerful spirits other
than those superinduced by the excitement
of the game. Suddenly the door opened his
wife walked in, seized her lesser half by
the ear and walked him home. As she
was a woman of determined nature, he
| concluded that it was best to submit for the
| time.
The next morning he went to the bank
and withdrew his entire investment of
| 81 200, took the cars for New York, then
sailed to Liverpool, took ship for South
America and brought up In Montevideo.
| All the time he was pouring down various
brands of drink which would require an 49,
carat gold cure to eradicate. Just five
months after leaving home the man opened
lis door one morning with l0-cent piece
in his pocket and accosted his wife with
We'll, what have you to say about it. any

resumed the even tenor Of their ways.

A STORY ABOUT EDISON.
How He Discovered a Way of Making
the Electric Light.

the Electric Light.
T. J. EdIrards in the Courier. Journal.
The men Of brains and business success who
control the great telegraph company knew
Edison year or two before the great public
began to speak OF him as the wizard of cleo
tricity. Edison had surprised these capitalists
oy showing them two or three inventions which
they made haste to perfect, and they paid him
SO much for them that he leaped almost in a
DAY from the place OF an operator whose wages
were not more than 800 mouth to the posi-
ton OF capitalist as il seemed to him, with
more than 100000 That sum is a paltry one
In comparison with the wealth he has to day.
Edisons popular fame was due perhaps, to
his discovery Of the phonograph. That he
would have become famous is hey ond all ques-
ton, but that peculiar and romantic suggestion
which has already been attached to his name in
the pubic mind since he first became known
was caused by the story Of the photograph.
That weird and mysterious toy, as 1t then
seemed to be, was brought TO the attention Of
Amos j. cummings now a member of congress
from New Hork city and then a newspaper man,
whose reputation almost as great in his
field as Edisons had been In his, Mr. Cum
mlngs went to see this toy. He became ac-
quAinted with Edison. He heard the story of
that fascinating aud strange life, and those
queer aud yet genius suggesting tales OF kdi-
sens early experiences, ana the narration
seemed as marvellous as some of the stories OF
the Arabian nights So that he wrote long
account OF 1t, and within a week after this
sketch was published olson found that he had
reached q pinnacle of peculiar and wide ex
tended popularity
A year or two after he became thus famous.
Mr.. Edison received an invitation TO visit the
mandatory of the Wallaces in Ansonia, Conn
A great machine had been built there and a
part of 1t was an enormous wheel capable Of
developing great amounts of electricity by
friction. Edison sent for his friend, Prof.
George Barker, who was the instructor in
chemistry in the University OF PsnnRylVania
aud urged Prof. Barker to take the trip with
him. suggesting taat it would be merely
holiday excursion. They took the train
from New York one Saturday afternoon
that train mad been asked to pick out the
