The position which Edison fills In the
popular mind Is one Of the most remark
able Incidents in the history OF inven-
ton. To many he is the embodied ge.
MUS OF electric lighting and he is the
popular conception of the greatest liv-
Ing scientist, but the fact Is thai the
lusteH OF Americas real scientist has
been paled by the glare and artificial
glamour surrounding Edison and ell his
works. These distorted views have
been, to great extent, fostered by in
Qenicus mechanical contrivances, such
Is the phonograph and other novelties,
which are above all things amusing. 1t
would be idle for US to say that no has
done nothing Of note. He ia undou btedly
clover man, but there are many who
are better electricians, and more who
are better mechanics.
Ills ability lies rather in organizing
the work OF q staff OF trained experts,
which in Its way is unequaled. Edison
has allied with his mechanical skill
mon OF remarkable business aptitude.
II Is this com Animation of talents which
has doubtless raised him above the
majority o: men. There are men
possessing greater skill In mechanics,
and men with greater commercial gifts,
but the two are seldom com bined. We
are not called upon to analyze his
ordinary popularity He doubtless has
deserved 1t. But moderate estimate
would be that he is o practical, shrewd

Infinite capacity for work, and untiring

EPISCOPAL CONVENTION
Report of the State of the Church-Are
Now 61S,500 Communicates.

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 15.-The house OF
deputies of the Episcopal convention
today first listened to the report of DR.
Iittel of Delaware, on the general
| theological seminary of the church, its
progress and its needs.
Resolutions were passed recommend
| ing that the expense committee raise
fund to pay the travelling expenses OF
bishops in Europe visiting churches
there, and declaring it expedient to name
a deputation to attend the next meet
ing of the Canadian synod of the church
of England.
Rev. H. G. Duncan of Louisiana, in
his report on the state of the church,
said that since the last conference in
1892, 10 bishops had died, IA had been
consecrated, four of whom went into
missionary districts. The church now
has IS bishops, 4544 clergymen, 567
candidates for lay orders, 190,S20 bap-
| firmations. There are now 61S,500
communicates, 5117 church edifices and
near 800 institutions of benevolent or
educational character. Contributions
from all sources had reached $4,000, 900.
Mr.. Duncan showed that the body of
communicates was growing more rapid
ly in proportion than the number of the
clergy. The increase in the trennium
had been 65,791, while the list of priests
had grown but 157, fact he attributed
to "inSutliciency and diminution of sti-
pends."
The income for the three years was
$4,000 less than for the preceding Pc
riod. The committee made recommended
tons for patriotic services on the Fourth
of July; for stricter regard for the di-
vOrce laws of the church; for better Sab
bath observance and for more active
propaganda for Christian teaching. 1t
being sought to thank the author of a
publication for its gratuitous distribu-
ton, resolution refusing to permit the
distribution in the congregation of any
publication not officially recognized was
offered by ]. Pierpont Morgan, and unan-
imously adopted.
The house of bishops today concurred
in the action of the deputies providing
FOR hnal adjournment on October %. on
which day the pastoral letter will be read.
MOST OF the morning session was devoted
to constitutional revision
The action of yesterday regarding tho
bishop of Alaska was reconsidered by
two-thirds vote and the advisability of
the election of missionary bishop was
considered
The deputies finally passed the Pack
ard resolution referring the subject of
constitutional revision to new com
mission, composed of six clerical and six
lay members.
The bishops have no connection with
the work of this commission. The house
had previously defeated a proposal to
refer the matter back to the present Joint
commission. The esta blishment of = pro-
vlncial system was excepted from the
matter referred to the new commission.

STATES ATTORNEY TALKS.

Hot Springs, Ark, Oct. 15.-In the tel
egraph Office this evening States Att0r-
ney TeaDue dictated the following to the
assembled newspaper correspondents Tor
general publications:
81 intended arresting Corbett as soon
as he arrived here in order that legal
test might be made as to the law govern
ing such contests, but under the advice
of Governor Clarke, l will not do SO at
present. | consider that prize night
would be a violation of the. law which
the authorities would have the power to
suppress, and have implicit confidence
that the sheriff will do SO; l consider
that it is unnecessary to send militia here
for the purpose of supDressing a prize
fight. Prize fighting is no more a viola
ton of law than keeping bawdy house

ing boots on Sunday and it is as much in
cumbent upon the governor to call out
his militia to suppress these evils as it
is to suppress prize fighting or boxing"

AVAILABLE TROOPS

Little Rock, Oct 15.-In view of the
probability of the militia being called
upon to suppress the fight statement
of the condition of the State guard is
interesting.
Notwithstanding the last legislature
refused to appropriate money for its
support and many minor companies dis
banded, the State guard is in fairly good
shape. In this city there are two com
panies of infantry, one company of ar
tillery and gatlin gun corps. These
companies are fairly equipped and could
be transported to Hot Springs in very
short order. In all there are seven cav
airy companies, one artillery and one
gatlin gun corps in the State. OF the
cavalry one company is located at Hart
man, one at Helena, two at Little Rock,
one at Pine Bluff, one at Cabot and one
mt Newport. In all there are about $50
men in the two regiments. The cav
airy is not in good shape, while the NJ
tillery amounts to little or nothing.

certain that Jeff Ellis, the negro rapist,
who was captured yesterday near Holly
springs, Miss, was hanged to Il tele-
graph pole this morning ut the nearest
railroad station to the scene of the crime,
Braden, Tenn. Ellis was taken away
from the constable by about 200 residents
OF the neighborhood of Braden. who
started with him to the scene of the
CRIME. Ellis confessed TO the ASA nit
on Miss Prater, October ;. in the pres
ence OF the latter's two little sisters. He
also says he ravished and murdered Mrs
Wilcox of the same locality about two
years ago. In this case the woman's
husband went crazy from the shock and
died in an asylum. Ellis is also accused
OF attempting to rape a little girl while
trying to escape into NIississippi.
