The Big Fair at EnsIey,

The coming week promises to be red letter week at EnsleX as it is Fair week in that thriving, hustling little city. She will don holiday attire and devote a whole week to fun and amusement and entertaining the many who will no doubt take advantage of her hospitality. It hardly seems possible, yet it is a fact that the best attractions in the country have heen secured and their exhibitions will be given on the streets absolutely free Of charge. Among the number of at fractions are the famous Dana Thomn- son, champion diver of the world. MT.

 The court holds in effect that Mir. Edi- son didn't really invent a moving pict- ure machine at all The opinion states that as far back as 1864 a Frenchman named Du Cos made moving picture machine which was very much like Edi- sons inyention while Le Prince another Frenchman got patent in this country for similar apparatus in 1863 Then the court says:
 It is obvious that Mir Edison was not the pioneer in the largest sense of the term, or in the more limited sense in which he would have been if he had also invented the film. But he was not the inveytor Nf the film
 The predecessors of Edison invented ap- paratus. No new principle was to be dis covered.
 The result of the decision will be that the American Biograph and Mutoscope Company will now actively push the sale of it's films in the sale of which Edison has had practically a monopoly, and will at once cut the price. Commercially twenty feet of film containing photo- graphs to be thrown on a screen, now costs from $7.50 to $10. The Biograph and Mutoscope people propose to sell that film now for $5 or less

MOVING PICTURE MONOPOLY.

From the New York Sun.
 The United States circuit court of ap- peals handed down a decision on Monday Judge Wallace writing the opinion and his associates concurring, reversing de- . cision in favor of Thomas A. Edison against the American Mutoscope and Bio graph company.
 About three years ago Edison sued the company, alleging that it's machines the biograph and mutoscope were infringe ments on the patents for his machine, the kinetoscope, taken out about 1898. The lower court sustained Edison's conten- tion. The circuit court reverses the de- cision, sustains every contention of the defendants and instructs the lower court to dismiss the suit.
 The hnetoscope and the biograph are machines for exhibiting moving pictures. MT. Edison contended, among other things. that he was the inventor of an apparatus for effecting by photography, a representation suitable for reproduc- ton of a scene including a moving object or objects. comprising a means for inter- mittenly projecting at such rapid rate as to result in persistence of vision i'm ages of successive positions of the ob- 5ect or objects in motion as observed from fixed and single point of view. a sensitized tape-lil1e film. and a means for so moving the film as to cause the sue oessive images to be received thereon separately and in a single line sequence

Did Not Pay Manchester's Debts.

New York Letter in the Chicago Tribune.
 Authoritative contradition was made to- day of the report that the debts of the young Duke of Manchester were settled by the father-in-law, Eugene Zimmerman. During the course of the bankruptcy pro- ceedngs which came before the London courts last year Mir. Zimmerman was in London, and his name was mentioned in several dispatches In connection with re- ported compromises with the duke cred itors. On the strength of these dispatches it was generally believed here that MT Zimmerman had provided the funds with which an arrangement was finally made.
 According to information furnished the Record Herald, however, 1t would ap- pear that whatever part Mir. Zimmerman may have taken in the bankruptcy pro- ceedings was on behalf of the Dowager Duchess of Manchester, mother of the present duke. It was the dowager duchess. formerly Consuelo Yznaga, daughter Of Antonio Yznaga and sister of Ferdinand Yznaga, who died here last March, leav- ing practically the whole of his property, estimated at over $2000,000, to his sis- ter, who met the claims against her son. These claims, it is understood, amounted to about $50 900, and were settled for ap- proximately $50000.
 In addition to this the Dowager Duchess of Manchester has made a liberal allow ance to her son.

threatening, if the demand is not met to kidnap one of the children. The Peacock children are respectively fourteen, ten and two years of age. MT. Peacock was until recently the first vice president and general manager of the Carnegie Steel Company and his home is in Pittsburg Business compels frequent visits to New York The first letters Mr. Peacock turn ed over to the Pittsburg police later ones fell into the hands of his wife. They alarmed and shocked her. She at once fled with the children to New York and joined her husband at the Holland House where she now is prostrated with ner- vous anxiety.
 MT. Peacock is one of the young men who have made their mark in the in dustrial fields. He is many times a mill lionaire and is interested in many great industries. At the present time he is building a grand house in Pittsburg tha will cost I am tod. half a million. His horses have been winners at the various horse shows and being liberal, princely sort of fellow, he has hosts of friends But this menace to his children has cast a shadow over his home. The police tell him they are about ready to close in upon these would-be abductors and the rogues write him that they know the police watching them. Since the po- lice and miscreants seem so well posted as to each others movements the saf- est place Is the one Mrs. Peacock has selected. Such rascals should be hung al the first lamp-post. Irregularty of procedure, condemned by pulpit and press such as this would be gratifying to fa- thers and mothers. The kidnapper of children should waive all legal formall- ties. He does not deserve the considera- ton to be awarded mad dog
 Richard Croker, whatever else may be said about him, was a great leader. He was resoluto and he had opinions He saw some things with a clear, undim- med eye.

He realized that they had ceased to come to New York strong in numbers. The task of speedily converting those that came into citizens had become difficult, if not peril

These lads are sturdy, independent, and think for themselves. They do not hesitate to vote for or against Tammany, as they see fit. Croker realized this and issued his man ifestos to young men.
 But the young men are not gathered by the shrillest whistler. They wanted Coler for governor. they wanted him for mayor. But Croller said mo" Result, the downfall of Tammany. Now how will Tammany act toward Bird S. Coler.
