A Remarkable Claim.

The claim that Henry Groebel makes, viz ::
that he is the inventor of what is known as
the Edison incandescent lamp, is a re-
markable one. And the strangest thing In
connection with it is that Groebel did not
make'his claim long ago. He is a German,
about 20 years of ago, and lives at Tappan,
N. "
A few weeks ago the courts decided that
tho incandescent lamp, now in use, was in-
vented and patented by Edison. At once
the company that owns the Edison patent
begun closing the lamp factories of all the
other companies, and was preparing to
raise the price Of lamps to about three or
four times what it is now. A Boston COM
pany refused TO close its factory, declaring
that the lamp it manufactured
had been in use thirty years be-
fore Edison took out his patent. In
support its position it brought forward
Henry Groebel, who was matchmaker in
Germany and came TO this country when
quite young man. He asserts that he ex-
hibited the lamp in question in New York
as far back as 1S4S The dynamo was not
invented then and the lamp, he says, was
used in connection with zinc carbon bat
terry. That was so expensive that no effort
was made to bring the lamp into general use.
Strange as it may appear Groebel has
many affldavits of quite we'll known people
to sustain him in the claim he makes
These people say they saw the lamp when
lighted. In fact, Groebel has some
lamps which he says are the ones he made
more than thirty years ago.
Why was it Groebel did not come forward
with his claim when the question of Edisons
right to the lamp was being contested in
the courts2 1t Is quite certain that Edison
did not get his idea of "a bamboo carbon
filament III vacuum" from Groebel He
made experiments for years before he
hit upon II.
But is Groebels claim genuine? That is a
question the courts will have to determine.
There are millions OF dollars Of investments
depending upon the issue which Groebeps
claim presents.

Forcing the Silver Fight.

Exchanges in different parts OF the coun-
try are passing resolutions relative to the
silver purchase act, aud petitions are being
circulated asking for the repeal Of the act
Within a week or two congress will be
burdened with these petitions.
A year ago there was a great deal of in-
difference in respect to the act. Now there
is a strong and growing sentiment against it,
There are democrats in both the House
and Senate who say they will not vote for a
bill repeating the act, and there are demo-
cratic newspapers that are opposing its re-
peal. 1t is difficult to see how any demo-
cratic Congressman or democratic news
paper can favor the act. The national
democratic platform condemns 1t in the
strongest terms and pledges the party to re-
peal 1t. II there is anything In pledges that
pledge must be kept
The silver purchase act threatens financial
disaster. II il is not repealed the Demo
cratic party will be held responsible for
whatever injury 1t may inflict upon the
country.

4 bill opening the Cherokee stripsto set
tlenent is under consideration in the Sem
ate. 1hetract proposed TO be opened con-
tains some 600, GOJ acres. Along the
boundaries OF the strip there are encamped
several hIpdreis Of families ready to rush
in aud pre-empt land as soon as the Fresi-
dents proclamation shall have been issued.
The bill in tho Senate requires
that sixty days notice Of the
opening shall be given in the
presidential proclamation. Butslmo Of the
western senators INSIST that notifications
IN the terms of settlement and the time
notice be made, 10 order 10 avert riots and
bioodshed along the border among the en-
camped boomers, many Of whom have
neither money nor provisions to permit of
their remaining in camp for two months or
more yet. Senator Butler. however, char
acterizes that argument as q plan TO force
legislation, and says the Senate should not,
under any circumstances, permit the
threats OF the mob on the border TO brighten
1t into doing injustice to the Indians to
whom the land belongs. The consequence
will probably be that both the boomers aud
the Indians will be kept on the tenter hooks
OF suspense for some time yet.

FLAvoRING EXTRACTS.
It Has Come
To This

That every successful, meritor-
ious article has its limitations.
This is a grave injustice, for
the genuine pure article will

and purer materials, than
Flavoring Extracts.
In this instance cheap mater

From, the Chicago Neics Record.
Smiling broadly runs the age,
Comedy's the only play;
Wit and poet. youth and sage
Want to be SURPRISING gay.
Let the tragics have their say
Grinning farce is what we're after,
Ira yedies have had their day;
All the world is hunting laughter.
TRrtuffe's time is on the rage,

The roaring house from pit TO rafter.

was in charge of the Mohican when she

Italy and Brazil are involved in dispute
resembling. in some small degree, the re-
cent difficulty between this country and
Chile. Last July the police of Sac Paulo
Brazil. maltreated some Italian sailors.
The Italian residents met TO protest. After
the meeting the Italians psraded the town,
and, it is alleged, tore down a Brazilian
flag. The police and number Of natives
attacked the procession and riot ensued,
in which the Italians got much the worst
of it, The office of an Italian newspaper
was wrecked and an Italian restaurant de-
stroyed. Italy demanded an apology and
indemnity for the 'outrages," alleging that
both were unprovoKed. The Brazilian gov
eminent has yet done nothing toward grant
ing redress TO the men, and Italy is getting
impatient. The result, however. will hardly
be visit OF Italian warships to the coast OF
Brazil. Italy, a member of the triple ALI
ance, will probably keep all of her naval
fighting machines In European waters until
matters on the ''other side" get in little
better shape.

The story goes that in preparing the corpse
of man for the oasket his sons shirt was put
on him by mistake. The wife and mother
did not learn OF this until several
days afterwsrd. She is somewhat SUI
perstitious, aud at once concluded that
unless the shirt was restored to its
owner the son would follow his father to
the grave. The women had the corpse dis
inferred, the change in shirts was made and
the body vas then buried a second time. The
story, while possibly true, is most inn

Some time ago the Corbett Theatrical and
Pavilion Company. of Chicago, was incor-
porated, and strslghtway it leased lot In
desirable section OF the city for a theater
and pavilion and let contracts for expensive
buildings. As may be inferred from the
name Of the company, the fame Of the fell
low that beat Sullivan was TO be the draw
ing card for the business Jim Corbett was
to act on the stage and show himself occa-
sonally in the pavilion during the whole of
the worlds fair season. The promoters of
the enterprise thought it would bring them
in barrel OF money in profits, and it prob
ably would have done so had they been able
70 carry out the original plans. But Cor
bett has dropped the scheme; he has some
thing else in view. The result is a suit for
100000 damages brought against Corbett
and Brady, his hacker, by the Chicago peo-
pie, who have the lease aud the building
contracts on hand. It is said the agreement
between the fighter and the Chicagoaus was
a verbal one and included Corbett's promise
TO act in Chicago only on that particular
stage during the worlds fair. An lnjunc-
tion to prevent his appearance on any other
stage in Chicago during the fair will be
brought.

AN EXPENSIVE LUXURY.

Ii is not easy TO estimate the total
cost Of any mistake, least of all politi-
cal mistake.
The mistake OF putting Grover Cleve.
land into the White House has been
fearfully costly one TO the people. The
assertion is made by one of the most
expert of the statisticians who devote
themselves TO tie elucidation Of public
questions that Mr.. Cleveland has al
ready cost the country more than JEFF.
Davis cost it.
This is very bold statement, but it
is impossible Co controvert il and impos-
sible not TO believe 1t when the evidence
is examined.
There are today about 3,000,O 900
workingmen out of work. They earn
an average Of $500 per annum when
employed. This means loss 20 the
wage-earner of 81, 500, ,OOO, 900 annually.
Add TO this the loss by reason OF
wrecked business, the depreciation of
stocks, and the other shrinkages OF
values, and the total would be so stupen.
dous as almost TO challenge belief.
All this is directly due % the policy
Of the president, and might have been
avoided II he had chosen To have led his
party TO policy that would make the
present raid on the tariff impossible.
A few words from the chief Of the
Democratic party would have averted
this catastrophy. aud saved to the
country the billions Il has lost and will
lose.
Workingmen Of Providence know that
this condition exists, and that this esti-
mate Of the loss is not exaggerated.
They know also that the evil
effects of tho ruinous policy
