BOYS BRIGADE CONTEST.
Result of the Red and Blue Contest Was a
 Victory for the Reds.

Victory for the Reds.
 The red and blue contest in Company c, First battalion, Boys brigade, of Da- venoprt church, closed last week and the teams that set out to gather in members reported results. The reds were successful in securing the largest number of new recruits. Lieutenant Fish commanded the reds and Lieuten- ant Meserve the blues.
 Tomorrow ecening the regular drill will be suspended and the victors and vanquished will share alike in the en- joyment of lunch to be furnished by the defeated team. It was originally planned that the defeated side should eat crackers and water, but the boys have been so enthusiastic in their can wasting and the results have proved so encouraging that the committee in charge decided to let the unsuccessful side be the guests of their opponents.
 Company c is now in a flourishing state and it's members are spiritually and physically a fine lot of boys
 A picked squad from this company have been invited to give an exhibition drill at the next members social of the Y. NJ. c. A. on February E. They have decided to accept and the company will no doubt make fine showing under the able command of their captain, A H. Sharpe.
 The members of the fencing section will celebrate their first anniversary at Captain Sharpe's home some time this month.

EDISON IS HARD AT WORK
ENGAGED ALL DAY ON NEW METH
 ops OF PHOTOGRAPHY.
Confident of Success and Will Change His Plan for Photosraphing Persons Brain A Successful Piece of Work by the Cathode Rays at Trinity College.

Cathode Rays at Trinity College.
 Orange, N. J., Feb. 10.-Thomas A..
 Edison has been working all day in at tempts to secure the best vacuum in the tubes to be used in the new method or
 photography. There is some doubt Ill his mind as to the degree of vacuum in the tubes that will produce the best re- suits. He will not try to photograph
 the brain of man until he is sure he
 has decided upon the proper vacuum.
 He has decided to change his original
 plan for photographing the brain, and
 will have a special plate-holder, two inches by two inches in size, which will
 be placed in the mouth of the subject While the battery of tubes will be plac-
 ed on the subjects head.
 Thus there will be but one thickness
 of skull for the "X" rays to go through. MT. Edison is confident of success. To- day he secured some shadow photo graphs showing the 'tX' rays passing through steel bans half an inch in thick
 ness. He found that on substituting
 steel plates for the aluminium ones in
 the tubes no rays were developed, they
 being absorbed by the steel.
 MT. Edison says that after making thorough experiments in photographing the human brain he will take up the
 question of the effect of the rays upon bacteria. He claims that the ''X' rays
 will retard the germination of bacilli, and believes they will destroy them. He intends making exhaustive series of ex- periments on this point
 Hartford, Feb. 10.-Experiments with the cathode rays were made at Trinity | college tonight. Professor Robb had charge and the experiments were fully successful. Keys inside purse, razor in it's case, a fountain pen in it's case and other metals in opaque coverings were photographed, the results being definite and clear-cut.

GOVERNOR M0RT0N'S BOOM
HE MAY BE I'll CHOICE OF REPUB- LIC1NS FOR PRESIDENT.

heSoiutions endorsing HIS candidacy nave
 Been Freely Circulated and They Declare
 That He Is Eminently Fitted for the
 Position.
 Washington, Feb. 10.-Resolutions in dorsing Governor Mortons candidacy for the presidential nomination have been circulated among the republican members of the New York delegation They were signed to-day by all the New Workers present at the session of the house and the remaining members, it Is row. The purpose of the resolutions is principally to set at rest the belief that the republican politicians of the state are not sincere in their support of Gov ernor Morton as their candidate. The resolutions are highly eulogistic.
 The preamble states that no one ia miliar with the sentiment of the New York republicans can doubt that he is their unanimous and spontaneous choice, and recites that his majority of 156,000 in 1894 was the largest ever given to a republican candidate in New York. It says that when the state committee last year asked for the reelection of the state officers as an endorsement of the governor the public gave the ticket a majority of 93,OOO. The resolutions an- nounce that the signers will labor ear nestly and increasingly for Governor Morton's nomination at St. Louis. They state that business men, tradesmen, me chanics and workingmen have suffered from three years of business paralysis, resulting from democratic incapacity and misrule, and that the people de- mand an intelligent administration of the government to permit them to re- pair their shattered fortunes.
 They declare that the governor is em- inently fitted for the leadership, while this work is in progress, and that his nomination would do much to restore confidence.
