EDISON'S FLUR0SCOPE.
Device Intended to Be Put to Prac-
teal Use the ROentgen
Rays Theory.

New York, May 1.-The big In
dustrial building on Licking Lon ave
nue., to the scores who passed its
doors today, resembled nothing so
much as the interior of the Elec-
trieity building at the World
Fair, with its huge dynamos, myr-
lads of electric lights and hundreds
of familiar electric appliances, with
as many more the nature of which
are unfamiliar to the general pub
lie. The occasion is the National
Electrical Exposition, arranged by
the National Electric Light associa-
tion for the pun pose of showing the
development made in electrical APP
pliances during the last decade.
Many wonderful devices are exhib-
tied for the first time, among the
most attractive features being an
exhibit of Mr.. Edison's new Fluro-
scope, intended to put to practical
use the Roentgen raye theory.
At the formal opening tomorrow
Gov. Morton will turn on the cur
rent of electricity transmitted tc
the exposition over 462 miles oil
copper cable from the great dyna-
mos located at Niagara Falls. This
will be more than four times The
longest distance over which electri
cal power has hitherto been carried
and electricians and scientists
throughout the world will watch the
test with much interest.

CLOSE A WEEKS ENGAGE.
MENT TO A LARGE
AUDIENCE.
Mr.OlesOn held The Lucky Num-.
Der that Drew the Prize
asst Night.

The Sp0oner Dramatic Company
closed a weeks engagement at the
Opera-house last night to only fair
business. Yesterday afternoon the
company presented Little Lord
FauntleroY" as matinee to "A fair
sized audience, and last night "ULcle
John Witcomb" was presented to
the largest audience during their
engagement. The truth of the
business is that the people OF Pine
Bluff did not awaken to a realization
of the fact until the last minute. in
spite of the efforts OF the daily local
press to convince the public of the
fact that they could really enjoy a
first class show at popular prices
10, 25 & 30 cents. The Spooner Com
pany, we believe, is the best company
on the road this season playing at
popular prices. Little Allie Spooner
is a bright and cherry littlesonbrette
who never fails To charm and please
her audience. Considering that she
is only fourteen years old, her
talents are extraordinary, and she
gives brilliant promise for the future
Mr.. f. e. Spooneer, her father, is a
comedian of great versatility and
soon wins his way into popular
favor
Last night in "Uncle Josh Whit
comb" Mr.. Spooner appeared at his
best and kept his audience in a
rollicking good hnmor and a con-
slant uproar of laughter through
out the entire performance. The
dancing of Miss Allie Spooner was
also pleasing and delighted the au-
dience. Mr.. j IL. Lewis, as "Uncle
Silas, was also good, as, indeed,
was the entire company. II "Uncle
Josh" had been presented earlier in
the week, we believe there would
have been much larger audiences.
1t was the hit OF the engagement and
all who witnessed it were delighted.
At the conclusion of the perform
anee the drawing for the gold
watch took place. Messrs. Will
Riley, c. o. Harris and j. E. Ryan,
were selected as judges. All of the
numbers were then pat into "a hat,
shuffled up and a number drawn by
a little girl hlindfolded. The lucky
number proved to he 5l5, and was
held by Mr.. Oleson, in the employ
of the Bluff City Lumber Co, and
the watch turned over to him. There
was much subdued excitment during
the drawing and the result was re-
ceived with applause.
The SpOoners carry their own seen
cry have good costumes and make up
and altogether give very elegant
performance. The leave today
for Fort Smith, where they play
week s engagement, and we heartily
commend the company to the
theater goers of that town.
