Eslison's New Work.

This new work to which Edison has de-
voted himself, and upon which he is occu-
pied with as intense concentration as he
bestowed upon the incandescent lamp or
telephone, is a method of extracting the
magnetic iron which is contained in mex
haustiblc quantities apparently in some OF
the Jersey mountains. He said the other
dav that he had abandoned ell of the old
methods and had begun the development
of entirely new processes, although, OF
course, the use of magnetic electricity
plays % part in this new scheme.
He has now nearly completed his expert
ments and Investigation, so that he says
with quite MS much enthusiasm rs he used
to display when talking of the electric
light or the phonograph, that lie is sure
his new system is Il success, that he has
only two details yet to master, and then
he will become mining king, perhaps
the greatest East of the Allegheny noun
tains.
Having learned by experience the SER
pent-likc subtlety OF great capitalists he
has been. persuaded to initiate that quail
.ity,and with successes far as the control
of this magnetic iron territory is con-
cerned. .he owns it all" said one of his
f,;.nds IN me-. 1bcforc anyone knew what
he was doing, he procured control OF
every bit of the territory where this mag
netic ore is found. Unless new mines are
discovered he and lie alone has the right
to work the ouly magnetic ore mines
which are fertile enough to pay east OF
the Allcgaenies.
"When his new plans are developed,
Edison will be able alta single plant TO
crush 20, 900 tons of ore a day, to extract
ly his process The magnetic iron, pack it
into brisklets ana do this with only ten
men"
This prediction VAS not made by a
formed friend of Edisons, but bya man
WHO has perhaps enjoyed the wizard :
confidence ana intimacy to a greater de-
gree than any other person. Moreover
as there are to be no patents, no spccula-
tive manipulation Of stocks upon Wall
street, no financing Of great companies,
this news cannot be regarded Us an as-

Three Hundred Employees Arrested.


More than three hundred employees of
the New Mexico division of the Santa Fe
railroad have been arrested in Colorado
and New Mexico for stealing goods in
transit, and rs many trainmen have de-
serted their trains on the prairies and fled
to avoid arrest, and the company is hay-
ing difficulty in keeping its cars in motion.
Forty thousand dollars worth Of freight
has been stolen during the last thirty
days and the stcnlings during the past
year are estimated at $l50,00O
The holiness of the thieves almost
passes belief. Trains would be stopped
at some lonely sidc-track between In
Junta, Col, and Ration, N. ~. ostensibly
to pack hot boxes, cars opened and ritied
of their most valuable contents and the
goods hauled to town in wagons ut con-
venient times.
Seals OH cars were opened iii such a
manner that they cold be replaced with
out evidence Of tampering, making tia
hard matter TO dermine onswhich division
the cars had been opened, as they pass
through the hands of ten or twelve train
crews between Chicago and California.
For many months the company has missed
large quantities Of the most valuable mer-
= d s
chandise.
The Secret Service Department has been
quietly at work and has secured evidence
that will convict many employees IN oil
branches of the service.
Detectives are scattered all along the
line for 200 miles south of Lajnna. Search
warrants have been sworn out and deputy
sheriff. are kept busy searching the
houses of'aupected parties, and in MANY
cases considerable quantities of the goods
are being recovered.
One engineer has his house carpeted
with elegant velvet carpet and was living
in STYLE beftt;ng. a millionaire. A stolen
sewing machine was found at the house oi

house, from The napkins to Brussels car-

n better definition 0f the dlHerence De-
tween prose and poetry would he this:
Prose is the language men use when ex-
pressing themselves without emotion, and
when expressing emotions, whether slight
or intense, which are the direct and inn
mediate results Of sensation and is the
better vehicle for the expression OF exact
thought and definite ideas, whether emo
tioal-or otherwise. Poetry is used only
when expressing secondary emotions
which result from remembrance. of past
sensations and only when the desire is to
please the fancy rather than the intellect,
and is the better form for such express
ssions where the thought is not exact and
it is intended TO leave much to the imagi-
nation of the hcarer.
Ibelieve that history shows that poet
sry was more in vogue in ancient times
and the middle ages, and even down 70
the present century, than it is to-day a
century or even fifty years ago, spread
5eagIism was considered the perfection Of
orator.. Now spread eagle orator
meets With ridicule and empty benches.
The intellect ofthe present generation
demands ideas, not sound OF hombast Il
the idea is there, clearly expressed, i i

the idea is ahsept. It is not pleased, no no
matter how beautiful The sound.

STOP WORK"
Was Order to Union Men on
Worlds Fair Grounds,
And Fully Four Thousand Men Obeyed
Livery Department Affected.
The Strike Soon Settled aad the men Will
Resume Work To-day.

CHacAGo, H., April lo.-A thoIsan
union men qui, work at the Worlds Fair
grounds today and there is prospect that
1900 more NAV join III the stampeGe before
night.
1t was the elimination of the controversy
over what is claimed to be the agreement
between the fair officials and the represen-
tatives of union labor. by which all dispates
between employees and employers on Expo
sition work was to be left TO arbitration.
The men contend that some of the Expo
sition officials have recently shown dispo-
sition now that the FAIR il nearly COM
pleted, TO deny point blank anything asked,
and that this had notably been the case in
the carpenters troubles which have been
pending for some time
Early this morning emissaries detailed to
spread the news OF the orier for general
strike were on hand at the various entrances
to the Fair ground. Very few union men
disoheyed the order. As the hour of s
O'Clock approached delegates began some
very lively work.
Stump speeches on their grievances
became the order of the moment and more
were added to the ranks. Dennis
Heaiey. non-union carpenter, denounced
the strike and was promptly beaten into in
sensibility by Edward Morris, a Union
man.
Before one T. NJ, fully 1000 men were
OUT, including probably over dozen differ
ent trades. To make matters worse at
this juncture, one-third of the employ
of the installation department, 200 in
number, declared strike and promptly
quit work. Teamsters also went out on Il
strike for increased wages.

Morton has said that his policy would be to

High RATES TO CHICAGO.
Trunk Lines Have Not Reduced Their Fares
Much.

New York, April l0.-Contrary to gen.
eral expectation the railroads have not made
any special passenger rates for the Chicago
exhibition. The fares were fixed recently
at meeting Of the presidents of the various
lines running to Chicago, and as result
many a man of slender purse will stay at
home. A 'stop over privilege had been
contemplated by the roads at one time, but
even this was cut off from those who will
go to Chicago on the slow trains.
The Pennsylvania and New foik Cen
tral roads will charge the highest prices.
This, they claim, is owing to the superior
ity of their equipment. perfect trains, un-
rivaled conveniences and certainty of arriv-
ing in Chicago at the scheduled time. The
lowest rate of fare on either of these roads
il s32 a round trip, and the highest S3S a
single trip.
The first rate is charged on trains going
slower than 81 hours for the journey, Sin
gle tickets will not be sold at that rate, the
intending excursionist being compelled to
purchase an excursion ticket. No stop over
is allowed on these tickets.
For single ticket $50 is set as the price
of a seat in trains going faster than 35 hours
for the trip. This includes the Pennsylva-
MAS famous Columbian Express and
Limited" as well as the New York Cen
trails New York and Chicago Limited and
Worlds Fair Special, For SIS more
travellers may secure section in palace
ear and all the comforts which that implies.
The sum of SIS must be added to either
the s32 or $50 tickets for berths in sleep
ing cars. Meals are additional and will cost
81 each.
A somewhat lower rate has been posted
bv the Erie and West Shore Roads. Tick
ets for the slow trains can be had for S2S
for the round trip and on the fast trains for
sls either way. The Baltimore & Ohio,
Ontario & Western, Central Railroad of
New Jersey and Lehigh Valley sell tickets
| for the first named trains for S26, excur-
sion only, and the second s17 for one way.
! In the case of fast trains passengers have
the advantage of being able to come back
! hv some other route. On the slow trains
iliey are compelled to come back the same
way Sleeping car accommodations and
meals cost the same as on the Pennsylva-
MIA and Central.
