EDISON'S WTASCOPE.
The Greatest Invention of the Age--A Large Crowd at Seals Hall Last
 Night to See It.

The Edison Vitascope company gave a complimentary exhibition in Seals hall last night to a select audience of Bir- mingham citizens among the number be- ing the president, principals and teachers of the Birmingham public schools
 The vitascops is an educator as well as an interesting and instructive mechani- cal contrivance, and is acknowledged by the leading scientists of the world to be one of the grandest inventions of the Wizard of Menlo Park
 The characters shown are known as animated pictures. taken from life. The views shown last night were Clarks thread mills, McKinley's inaugural pa- dade. Watermelon contest, burning s able and Black diamond express. The two latter were exceptionally fine and brought forth repeated applause. The Black Diamond express is an illustra tion of a fast express train on the Lehigh Valley railroad, running at the rate of ninety miles an hour. The picture, as first seen, is when the express is two miles in the distance and gradually ap- pears on the canvas until it passes by, every movement being clearly defined.
 The vftaScope is wonderful machine, and should be ssen by every one. The company will begin a weeks engagement at Seals hall Monday night.
