We Expect the Wonderful.

With two such genii of the electrical
lamp as Edison and Tesla hard at work on
the artifcial-light problem it is easily prob
able that within year or 50 there will be
ample and inexpensive supply of portable
sunlight. Tesla has done much 10 simplify,
cheapen and improve incandescent electric
Lighting: his latest invention on that line
being sufficient of itself to establish his
lame as a practical thinker. Edison, how
ever. has gore much further; he has har-
messed the cathode rays and has done 1t in
a way which makes it quite probable that
the neWly-discovered light will soon be
within reach of the public. If the process
Is hot captured by corpora ton now IN
the illuminating business it Is likely to
lender entirely unnecessary any endeayors
to bring about reduction in the price of
gas and the electric light as We now know
IT, one OF the most extraordinary phases
OF the situation is the undisturbed calm
ness with which the people generally re-
celFe the announcements Of what would, not
so long ago, have been universally regarded
as miracles. II an air-Ship line were to
commence operations next week the num-
Der OF expressions of surprise would be
TOO small TO take note of. We expect the
wonderful and are disappointed if We do
not get it.

to achieve distinction through its minerals
and it's manufactures. Comparatively few
people have sny realizing sense Of the vast
ness of the coal and iron deposits as yet
untouched in the hills Of Tennessee and it
will surprise many persons to be informed
that the manufactured products Of the
state in 1890 exceeded seventy-two millior
of dollars. Until recently Tennessee was
practically untouched by the great wave of
immigration which annually sweeps across
much of this country from east to west;
now there is steady movement of desirable
settlers from the east and from the north
and northwest-good, solid, Industrious
people who seek suitable climate in which
to achieve financial independence. Tennes-
see promises to have on exhibition one year
from today indisputable testimony to the
richness of Its soil and the ability of those
who cultivate it; to it's marvellous natural
resources and to the skill of the men who
are engaged in developing them The expo
sition which is due year hence will give
the world some idea as to what has been
done. But what has been done is as moth
ing when compared with the possibilities of
what may be accomplished.

THE ECCENTRIC MERCHANT

les Broad way Rouss, the eccentric
Broadway merchant, will be totally
blind. He is the man who offered
one million dollars to the person
who would restore his sight. With
characteristic courage Mr.. Rouss
treats his affection lightly, and
says he might as we'll be blind as
dead, for if he. obeyed the doctors
and retired from business to give
his ewes Il rest he would surely die
of eanui. Few men in mercantile
life have been more talked about
than Charles Broadway Rouss since
he came to this city from Win
chester, Va, in 1866. His eccen-
triciJies almost place him in the
catasory of cranks, and it is con-
sidered remark. ..ble by the conserv
ative old merchants who do business
near him that he has been able to
build up a fortune worth several
millions Of dollars within a score
of years. Here are some OF the
queer things he does:
When visitor calls on Mr.,
Rouss at the store he greets the
caller with, "My time is worth 800
minute. How much of it do
you want ?"
One of his amusements is to
throw nickles and dimes to the
newsboys from the platform of the
street cars while he is on his way
home at night.
He is fond of sleeping in his
store and occupies an old iron bed
stead which he has had set up in
quiet corner there. j.
He pays off his clerks at the
close Of each days work, and will
have no teetotalers around him.
When q number of his clerks
were found to have robbed him
Systematically of over $4,000 he
said they were smart fellows, and
that it was too small matter to
talk about.
He has struck an average in his
scale of wages and pays the great
er part OF his employees dollar a
day. Few men are worth more to
their employer, he says.
For years past he has.made pc
riodical visits to his native town
and always gives the residents of
Winchester O treat in the shape of
an OK roast, ice cream and fire.
works at night.
Mr.. Rouss wears $l2 suits and
is an advocate of phonetic spelling.
His letters are wonderful examples
of that art.
Once Mr.. Rouss failed and psid
forty-fve cents on the dollar. La
ter he was successful and hunted
up his creditors and paid them the
fifty-6ve cents.
When Erastus Wiman was ar
rested on charge of forgery Mr..
Rouss went his bail to the amount
Of $4,000. He said Winans was
good fellow and ought not to be
locked up.
