CURIOUS CONTROVERSY ABOUT
EDISON.

"a newspaper says the famous
wizard was born in Mexico, but was
brought very young to live in the
United States. In Mexico a curious
controversy has arisen as to where
the celebrated inventor, Thomas
Alva Edison really first saw the
light, although it is known that
Edison is classed as citizen and
native of the United States because
his biographers say so, and because
he himself undoubtedly knows this.
In a certain part of Mexico there
exists the belief that Edison was
born in Zacatecas, a city of that re
public, and the citizens have taken
it upon themselves to give counte-
nance to this version. The newspaper
of Mexico, received lately in New
York-El Excelsior-brings infor

matter of curiosity, we reproduce il
here, viz: Certainly the basis of this
superstition is the fact that the first
name of the famous man of science
is clearly Spanish, purely Castll

anew has arisen touching the place
of nativity of the wonderful inven

question was extensively discussed
and Edison personally denied tina
he was born in Mexico. Now

which is believed to be that of Ed

ABOUT KILLING DOGS.

Editor News-Times:
Some time ago the council passed
an ordinance TO the effect that all
dogs and cats which were on the
streets should be shot. Or at least
that was the intent of the ordinance
though perhaps not the exact word
ing Of it. Since that time all police
have been armed and a wholesale
destruction of animals, both strays
and pets, has taken place.
The reason for this was ostensibly
10 protect war gardens, and they
should be protected. but il is not
at all likely that all the animals
that have been killed were modest
ing gardens. Numerous reports
have come TO the writer of police
men shooting dogs lying on the
front steps at home or elsewhere on
the home grounds Some have been
shot on the street where they were
doing no harm. Cats have been shot
in the owners yard. many of them
at night and entirely without cause.
In some parts of the city people are
awakened at night by shots fred At
dogs or cats.
When owners complain they are
CURLY told 20 keep their animals
tied up and that is the end Of il so

cerned. Just how long people are

will often spend enough on them
selves for tobacco, chewing gum and
candy TO feed a half dozen pets and
think the money we'll spent. II all
