What Edison Is Doing.

There has been report current for
some time that Thomas A. Edison
would turn his attention to perfecting
the marvellous storage battery OF
which he has from time to time CIV
en- some hint. Motorists are agreed
that il such a battery can be made a
commercial possibility the construc-
ton of motor cars will be revolution
lied. The essential advantage that
Mr.. Edison claims for his battery is
that 1t will. when perfected, combine
enormous potential power with a
weight so inconsiderable as to make
its employment applicable to any
class OF vehicle. This is the very
thing that the builders of automobiles
have tried the hardest to obtain
great power from a battery Of nomin
al weight. The Wizard" was just IL
years old when he made his first cleo.
tro-mechanical invention, an automa
tic signalling attachment for his teie.
graph instrument, and II is now IS
years since he took out his first pa
tent Something Of his extraordinary
activity Is shown by the fact that
since that time over 1000 patents have
been issued in his name.-Metropoli.

PATRICIDE
A Youth Makes Two Attempts Il
Take the. Life of His Father.

Paul Jones, 4 lad of fourteen, fired
two loads of buckshot at his father
John Jones, in Camden Saturday and
Immediately fed to the woods, but a
party of men who pursued him sue
ceeded in overtaking the boy Sunday
morning. The took him at once to
Camden Courthouse and he was con-
fined in Jail.
The boy was hauling corn from j
farm to a point further up the county
called THE Lakes" and was in an ug-
ly mood. He had carried one load
and returning met another cart loaded
with corn and a collision ensued, the
loaded cart being overturned into d
ditch. The driver asked the boys
assistance, but he refused and drove
on. Arriving home he informed his
father Of what lad happened and sug-
gested that he go to the drivers as
sistance, which Mr.. Jones did at once.
The boy then fearing punishment
procured a gun, and as Mr.. Jones ap-
preached he fired at his father, but
fortunately missed. Mr.. Jones, turn
ing, saw the boy and asked if he fired
at him and the BOY said nc and walked
off, but suddenly turned and taking
deliberate aim, fired agin, but Mr..
Jones seeing his action in time drop
ped to the bottom of the cart and the
shot went W him. 1t was at this
juncture that tie boy f1ed.-ElizaDeth

Mr.. Roosevelt was very severe. un-
reasonably so. We think, on Mr.. Whit.
ney Of Massachusetts,. 1t seems to us
that the president is guilty of the
charge which Mr.. Whitney makes OF
having judged and condemned him
without giving him a hearing. The
presidents letter was very curt and
rude, it seemed to us, even if he 6id
have just cause to complain of M
Whitney's action. A gentleman never
makes any thing by being rude CT
ungentlemanly in his language or ae-
ton toward a fellow man.. The news
paper reports WI have seen of the
matter in dispute have been too n1ea-
ger to permit n to pass fair judg-
ment on the business of the presi-
dents complaint, but admitting he
had just cause,we cannot see how that
gave him excuse for acting so rudely
TO the New England delegation which
called at the White house a few days
ago or for refusing in such rude Ian
guge to give Mr.. Whitney opportunity
to defend himself.

Suicide.

AAOAN>
Mayor Tom Johnson's plan to re-
strict suicide by means Of a sort Of
advisory board before whom prospec-
tive relfdestrOpers are invited to
lay their troubles, is, though unques-
tiOnably prompted by the kindliesl
motives, unfortunately fantastic and
largely visionary. The prime difficult
ty is, Of course, in locating the per-
sons whom it is designed to benefit.
1t IS highly doubtful if any man who
had really determined to take his own
life would think of waving the pro-
ject in order to write and apply for
the services of Mayor JohnsOn's board.
In the first place he would probably
not be in a frame of mind to do any
thing SO business-like and rational,
and, in the second he would almost
certainly feel that his case was be-
yOnd reach of Ey chance aid from
without. The very dependency which
has created the desire to make way
with himself would naturally rather
knock the hopefulness out of sucn an
institution as the suicide board. Men
of the character and frame of mind to
tel their troubles to the board are
conversely,in all likelihood, men VINO
at the final pinch, would never kill
themselves. Hence, the board it would
seem, is likely to have difficulty in dis
tinguishing itself from a charity sub
committee on relief.
The proposition of the mayo: is,
however, none the less interesting be-
cause it seems very largely impractic-
observation-disclosures.
