AN IMPORTANT EXHIBIT.

Mr. Milt Adams, representing the
Edison, Jr., Electric Light and Power
Company, of New York, is in the city,
preparatory to the installation of a
complete electric light plant for the
State Fair, showing the advantage of
the primary battery system owned by
the company. In the household the
battery can be used as hand or table
lamp, or for lighting a carriage or
stable, for running fans, sewing ma
chimes, grinding mills, pumping water,
or doing light work of any description.
For professional and scientific uses
there is no limit to its employment.
Dentists will use it for their tools and
lathe; doctors for cautery knives; it
will serve as convenient form of light
for the kintescope and mutoscope; in
the mine it will entirely displace the
candle now used; it will run the phono-
graph or any CT the automatic machines
now so universally employed. The
seamstress can do double the work on
her sewing machine without any labor
beyond guiding her work. The theat-
rical man and the Snowman will find
it Indispensable in the many places
where there is no electric current. For
advertising purposes the battery has no
equal In the limits of this small space
it is impossible to enumerate more than
a few. Of its numerous uses.

city. And, be it further
RESOLVED, that we call upon the May
or, Common council and the Police Of
our city for strict pr reservation Of order
on that occasion, and for q vigorous en-
