In 1890 he purchased. from Thomas Edison his electrical manufacturing inter- ests, and with the Edison Lamp Company at Newark, N. J., and the Edison works at Schenectady, N Y, as a basis organized the Edison General Electric Company, of which he became president, serving in that capacity for about two years.

Frost in Texas.

Is Talk of Reorganizlng Party, Says
 Campau.

Detroit, November 12.-Daniel Campou, chairman of the Democratic State Commit tee, returned today from Chicago, where he spent Sunday in conference with Chair man Jones of the Democratic National Committee.
 When questioned as to what conversa- tion he may have had with the national chairman relatve to the reorganization of the Democratic party, MT. Campau said
 This talk of reorganization is amazing particularly so for the reason that most of the talk comes from those who did most to defeat the party at the late election.
 While MT. Jones and I talked about the late campaign and about the political fu- ture, there was nothing said in the way of outlining plans for future campaigns"

of the twentieth century.

or the twentieth century.
 Oh, crowd this last year with pray CTS. with hosannas. with kind words, with helpfulness. Make the peroration of the century the climax of Christlike deeds. Close up the ranks of God. and during this remaining 12 months charge nightly against the host of Abaddon. Have no reserve corps. Let swiftest gospel cavalry gallop, and heaviest moral artillery roll, and mightiest evangelistic batteries thun- der on the scene. Let ministers of the gospel quit all controversy with each other and in solid phalanx march out for the worlds disinthrallment. Let printing presses, secular and religious, make combined movement to instruct and emancipate the world. On all the hills let there be Elijahs praying for "a great rain," and on every contested field Joshuas to see that final victory is gained before the sun goes down, and every mountain become a transfig- uration, and every Galilee a walking place of him who can hush a tempest Let us be jealous of every month, of every week. of every day that passes without something significant and glorious wrought for God and this sin cursed world. Let our churches he thronged with devout assemblages. Let the chorals be more like grand marches than requiems. Let this con- ing year see the last wound of Trans vaal and Philippine conflict, and the earth quake with the grounding arms of the last regiment ever to be mar shaled, and the furnaces of the foun- dries blaze with the fires that shall turn the last swords into plowshares.
 And may all those whose lives shall go out in this last year of a century, as many will. meet in the heavenly world those who in the morning and monday of this hundred years toiled and suf- fered for the worlds salvation to tell them how much has been accomplished for the glory of him whose march through all the coming centuries the Scriptures describe as going forth con quering and to conquer" Oh, the contrast between that uplifted spec tacle of eternal triumph in the pres ence of God and the Lamb and these earthly scenes, where "we spend our years as tale that Is told"

 Nothing so annoying. Nothing 60 irri- tating.
