States. Not that love religion less,
but that l love America more The
meeting adopted The views of Lawyer
Bowers, and it was decided to form a
national body, to be called the Ameri-
can Protective association. Council
No. 1 was that Of Clinton. The order
claims to have a total membership of
$500 600, an increase in two years of
1900, 900. It is reported to have 108
members in congress and governors in
several states. The A. P. As claims
are hard to refute, as are the asser-
tons of any secret society. it can
claim ''everything in sight" and defy
contradiction in it's curtained cham
bers. It has not by any means a unan-
imous protestant support. In fact,
some of the worst denunciation Of it
has come from protestant preachers,
who declare it TO be un-American and
bigotedly proscriptive. The A. P.
4. retorts that it is not against any re
ligion except when that religion is
used for political purposes and to men,
ace the public schools. The order has
extended to Canada, where the Orange
bodies have taken it up.

scene. One thing that all will be i'm
pressed with is the beauty of he river
as it is represented. The upper river
is shown from the falls to a point
above where the tunnel canal taps the
river. All the islands and bridges are
shown. The river bed on the part
above the rapids is of glass. Midway
down the south side of the model the
glass ends. To this point the water
flows underneath the glass, when it
runs out and flows over a bed made
of lead, representing rock. Where the
rapids are, the lead is wavy and the
rapids are shown distinctly AS the
water passes over the precipice ii
drops behind rocks at the bottom and
passes underneath the glass inner bed
of the gorge.
Thomas A Edison has prepared a Sc
lect personal exhibit for the exposition
In telegraphy he will show stock
printers, the phonoplex, the quadru-
pick. American district system, train

first invention he ever made. In tele-

phony he will show several varieties
of apparatus, including microphones,
the chalk transmitter, photograph re
ceiyer. etc. He will also show his in
teresting megaphone, odophone, etc.
In lighting, Mr.. Edison will show his
earliest iucandescent lamps, first con-
verter, model of systems of distribut-
ing, multiple carbon lamps, center pole
lamps; first chemical meter lamp Ley
den jar, platinum lamp, ETC.; also the
first fixtures used. In the line of
power transmission, Mr.. Edison will
exhibit some very early motors and
models Of great interest. Among mis-
cellaneous exhibits may be named his
pyromagnetic motor, microscope, tasi-
meter stages illustrating the evolution
of the bamboo filament, magnetic fric-
tion devices, early monographs, his re-
cent microscopes and his latest phOno-
graphs He has also in course of con-
struction four sets of apparatus with
which experts from his own staff will
give exhibitions of the Roentgen rays,
so arranged that by using the tluoro-
scope put into their hands, people can
inspect their own anatomy. The
Crookes tubes will be mounted in con-
nection with mercury pumps, so that
in a rough way the process Of lamp ex-
haustion will also be demonstrated.
Chauncey NJ Depew doesn't purpose
letting Edison and Tesla monopolize
the honors of the exhibition, so he has
arranged to break all long-distance
telegraph records on Thursday, May Z,
when, with a Niagara current, he will
try to girdle the earth with telegram.
Tesla said it could be done, others said
it couldn't, and this is intended to
show which view is right. The mes
sage will be an epigram from one of
DR.. Depew's after-dinner speeches. The
message leaving New YORK will go
over the Western Union cable to Pen
zance, England, thence onward to Lis
bon, and underneath the Mediterranean
sea, coming to dry land again at Suez,
to run along the famous canal, and
then diving under the Red sea to
emerge at Alden. There, borne along
by the power Of Niagara, it will pass
under the Indian ocean, to Bombay
across India to Madras, and under
water again to Singapore, on the Ma
lay peninsula. The next place it will
be heard of is in desolate spot on the
northern shore of Australia, and then
in Melbourne and Sydney. If there
was a cable under the Pacific ocean
DR. Depew's epigram could make a cir
cult of the world complete by a long
dive under the sea to San Francisco:
but that cannot be done. So the mes
age will rebound on its trail, and by
running along the east coast Of Africa
reach Cape Town. Then it Will jump
to Lisbon again and start across the
Atlantic ocean to Pernambuco, Brazil.
South America will be the last con
tfnent touched, and with one more
fash under the seas it will be back in
New York. The various telegraph and
cable companies have generously en-
tered into the project, and will clear
! the wire for the attempt. Over $4,000
miles will be covered.

New York, May 5.-The national ey-
in the Grand Central palace yesterday.
While the electrical displays at the
Chicago, San Francisco and Atlanta
expositions were on scale of magnifi-
cence and pleasing to the general pub
lie, they were disappointing technical
ly to electrical experts. The various
electrical industries of America have
now combined to give an electrical eX-
hibition to eclipse anything of the kind
ever attempted in this or any other
country. The exhibition is primarily
under the auspices of the National
Electric Light association, an organi-
Zation which embraces all the noted
electrical system of the day, in
Guiding the Edison, Westinghouse,
General Electric and Brush systems.
Harrison J. Smith, superintendent of
the New York Illuminating company
(Edison), is president of the exposi-
ton company. w. F. Weiss, vice
president of the New York Steam COM
pany, is vice president, and George F.
Porter, secretary of the National Elec-
trio Light association, is secretary and
treasurer The executive committee
consists of G. o. Baker, Jr; R. B. Cor
ey, H. F. Lufkin, E. F. Peck and Pres
ident Smith.
The exhibition is held in connection
with the nineteenth convention of the
National Electric Light association

teal lectures on electrical subjects by

for the a P. A. in congress this ses-

Or public property for sectarian pur-
poses; taxation Of all property not
owned and controlled by the public;
the opening to publis official inspec-

eny official public position to any per-
son who recognizes primal allegiance
in civic affairs to any foreign or eccles-

Washington, Nay 2.-The meeting
of the supreme council of the \. P. A,
which will be held here today will be
more important than any yet held by
that organization, because this year

March IS, 1887, a lawyer named
Henry L. bowers held little meeting
in his law Office in the town of Clinton
Iowa. Bowers was born in Baltimore.
He conceived the idea that ardent re-
ligionists had designs on the public
school system OF Maryland The idea
grew in his mind until it became what
some of his enemies called a hobby.
When he removed to Iowa, he says, he
found grounds for similar apprehen-
sion in that virgin state. He entered
into correspondence with certain lead
ers in other states as to the condition
Of affairs in their commemorative
The result of these epistolary investi-
cations he laid before that little gath

SENATE SLATE BROKEN.
Senator Turpie Opposes the Considera-
ton Of the River and Harbor Bill.

Washington, May 5.-The outlined
program for the senate procedure
this week was shattered early in Mon
days session. When the intended &C
ton to consider the river and harbor
bills was attempted, it was antagon-
lied by a motion by Senator Turpie to
consider the Dupont election case,
which was carried. A later agreement
was effected to postpone the matter
until the river and harboT bill passed,
the final vote in the election case 20
be taken two days after the considera-
ton was begun. Hill spoke all the af-
ternoon on the bond investigation res
oluti0n and will continue today.
In the house the first skirmish over
the senate amendment to the naval bill
reducing the number O. battleships
provided for in that bill from four to
two occurred when Boutelle, chairman
of the committee, moved to non-con-
cur in all senate amendments and re-
quest a conference Of the senate. The
question went over for action until
today when it is likely that the
whole question of large appropriations
for Strengthening the navy will be re
opened and ventilated. Mr.. Woodman,
of Illinois, introduced a resolution pro-
viding that the house directly request
the president to make an immediate
proclamation that the condition of the
war in Cuba be recognized and that it
is the purpose of this government to
preserve a position of neutrality, and
that the United States will look with
especial disfavor on a continuance of
any methods Of warfare not recognized
in the rules of war AS practiced by the
leading nations of the civilized world.

Governor Morton opened the eXposi-
ton. The governor turned on the
current of electricity, which was fur
nished from Niagara. This turns a
model of the Niagara company's plant
in New York and also the cable canal
system of towing. The Bell Telephone
company has a telephone system trans
hitting the roar of the falls, so as to
make the thing realistic. The electric
impulse which started things going
passed in a direct wire to San Fran
cisco and return, a distance OF one
quarter around the earth. This IS the
longest distance ever travelled by al
opening current The miniature of
Niagara is a very unique and interest
ing affair. 1t shows the city of Nj
agara, the upper river, a view of the
gorge, and a dim glimpse of Canada.
All the movement about it depends on
a current that passes through towns
and makes itself felt through numer-
Gus ingenious devices. The power
from the falls is transmitted 462 miles
on a single wire. On the queens birth

able to convey almost any distance.
