2 TO BEAT THE TELEPHONE EDISON TO DO MARVELOUS THINGS WITH THE TELEPHONE. A Perfected Machine that will Work a Revolution—The Wizard Tells the Story of His Invention and What He Hopes from It. Prom the Philadelphia Timet. New York, Oct. 21.—Thomas A. Edison has got the most wonderful laboratory on the face of tbo earth. He has erected at Llewellyn Park, in Orange, N. J., three buildings of brick. Each is 100 feet long by 50 wide, and each has four stories. These buildings are Vicing supplied with every known material which could possibly be made use of. Mr. Edison has been talking to a reporter of the Evening Post and has been telling some marvelous tales about his perfected phonograph. Hear him: THE WONDERFUL PHONOGRAPH. “You know that I finished the first phonograph more than ten years ago. It remained more or loss of a try. The germ of something wonderful wu-s perfectly dix tinct, but I tried the impossible with it and when the electric light business assumed commercial importance 1 threw everything overboard for that. Nevert,hless the phono graph has been more or less constantly in my mind ever since. When resting from prolonged work upon the light my brain would revert almost automatically to the old idea. Since the light has been finished I have taken up the phonograph and after eight months of steady work have made it a commercial invention. “My phonograph I expect to see in every business office. The first 500 will, 1 hope, bo ready for distribution about the end of January. Their operation is simplicity it self, and cannot fail. The merchant or clerk who wishes to send a letter lias only to set the machine in motion and to talk m his natural voice and at the usual rate of speed into the receiver. When he has finished the sheet, or ‘phonogram,’ as I call it, is ready for putting Into a little box made on purpose for the mails. We are making the sheets into three sizes—one for letters of from NOO to 1,000 words, another size for 2,000 words, another size for 4,000 words. I expect that an arrangement may be made with the post office authorities en abling the phonogram boxes to be sent at tl'.e same rate as a letter. . LISTENING TO THE MESSAGE. The receiver of a phonogram will put it into his apparatus, and the message will be given out more clearly, more distinctly than the best telephone message ever sent. The tones of the voice in the two phonographs which I have finished are so perfectly ren dered that one can distinguish between twenty different persons, each one of whom has Said a few words. One tremen dous advantage is that the letter may be re peated a thousand times if necessary. The phonogram lioes not wear out by use; more over it may be filed away for a hundred years, and be ready the instant it is needed, if a man dictates bis will to the phono graph there will be no disputing tue au thenticity of the document with those who knew the tones of bis voice in life. The cost of making the phonogram will be scarcely more than the cost of ordinary letter paper. The machine will read out the letter or mes witli the same speed with which it was dic tated. “1 have experimented with a device for enabling printers to set type from the dic tation of the phonograph and think that it will work to a charm. It is so arranged that the printer by touching a lever with his foot allows five or ten words of the phonogram to be sounded. If he is not satisfied with the first hearing he can make it reiieat the same words over and over again until he has them in type. For busy men who dictate a great deal for the press 1 am sure that the phonograph will be a necessity after a very little experience. TAKING DOWN AN OPERA. “For musicians the phonograph is going to do wonders, owing to the extreme cheap ness with which I can duplicate phonograms and the delicacy with which the apparatus gives out all musical sounds. In the early phonograph of ten years ago, which was a very imperfect and crude affair compared to that of today, it was always noticed that musical sounds -ame out peculiarly well; the machine would whistle or sing far better than it would talk. This peculiarity of the phonograph remains. J have taken down the music of an orchestaa, uinl the result is marvelous; each instrument can be perfectly distinguished, the strings are perfectly dix tinct, the violins from the cellos, the wind instruments and the wood are perfectly heard, and even in the notes of a violin the over-tones are distinct to a delicate ear. It is going to work wonders for the benefit of music lovers. A piece for any instrument, for the piano or for an orchestra, or an act, or the whole of an opera, musical instru ments and voices can bo given out by the phonograph with a beauty of tone and a distinctness past belief, and. the duplicating apparatus for phonograms is so cheap an affair that the price of music for the phono graph will be scarcely worth considering. As the phonogram will Iks practically inde structible by ordinary use such music can be played over and over again. AN ELECTRIC MOTOR. “My first phonograph, ns you remember, consisted simply of a roller carrying the foil and provide I with a diaphragm-point ?roperlv arranged to scrape or indent the oil. The roller was turned by hand. In file new instrument there is far more com plication, but altogether different results. My profiling machinery consists of a small electric motor, run by avery 1 few cells. Strange to say, I have found more diffi culty in getting a motor to suit me than any other part of the apparatus.. I tried various kinds of clock-work and spring motors, but found them untrustworthy and noisy. The motors lam now making are absolutely steady and noiseless. There is no part of the apparatus, the tools for which I am now making upon a large scale here, which is likely to get out of order or to work ill an uncertain manner. The two fin ished phonographs are practically exactly what i intend to offer for sale within a few months.” Among the tilings at which Mr. Edison is hard at work, taking them up in turns, are n cotton picker, a heat generator of elecric ity, and anew device lor propelling street cars by electricity. Almost a Murder. Augusta, Oct. 24.— I To-dav Forest Lanier (colored) foreman at the Central railroad shops, terribly beat with brass knucks, and attempt 1 to kill with a pistol, Andrew Cob mail, one of his colored employes, shoot ing at the latter four times. Lanier has fled and his victim ix in a critical condition. An Italian peddler named Pigiigle, while inspecting the new boat to-day, slipped and fell into the river and was rescued in a drowning condition by two negro lads. Pigfigle only came to life after vigorous remedies had been employ,si in his belinlt. tan Into a Washout. Missouri City, Mo., Oct. 24.—The Pa cific express train on the Wabash road ran into a washout near here yesterday morn ing, at <1:140 o’clock, derailing the engine uml killing Engineer John Matthias, and badly in juring C. N. Black, a jsistal clerk. None of the passengers were hurt. Ignored By a Grand Jury. Pontiac, 111., Oct. 24.—The grand jury has ignored the bill against Timothy Cough lin, the section 1 mss of the Toledo, Peoria and Western railway, who was held in jail on the verdict of the coroner's jury as neg ligent of his duties, and as thus causing the Chats worth disaster.

The more flowers are plucked the more abundantly they grow, as a rule. BULL FIGHTING IN SAN DIEGO. A Weak-kneed creature Cruelly Teased and an Able Bodied Bull Let Alone. s Prom the San Diego Union. Promptly at the appointed time and amid the blast of a buglo the four mata dores, clad in scarlet and each bearing a scarlet shawl, entered tlio arena, accom panied by an alleged clown, half scarlet and half blue, whose strong point lav in his ability to make people tired. Then two picadors, both mounted, entered, one nearing a pole with a sharp spike in the end of it, and the other carrying a four-tined pitchfork. After many howls from the audience a tame, sad-eyed, half-starved little bull ambled in through the gate, as if his knees were weak and he was looking for a place to lean against Then one of the picadores jabbed tho pitchfork into the mild-mannered little animal, and the other picador, riding at full speed, jabbed the spike into its rump. The brute kicked, and the crowd howled with delight when ho ran here and there to escape from-his persecu tors. Here the matadors appeared on tho scene and shook their scarlet shawls in the face of the creature; but he was evidently a church member, and kept his temper. Thou the picadors chased ihe poor brute about by jabbing the pitchfork and the spiked pole into him, until finally the crowd, seeing that the bull would not fight, yelled: “Open the gate!” “Chare him out!” “Oh, the calf!” “He’s no good!’ “He’s n sheep!” and such expressions, and, obeying tlie will of the crowd, the gate was opened and the bull was chased out. The performance was gone through with seventeen different times, and only in two instances did the hulls show any inclination to fight. On the first occasion a small but well-fed animal made a wild lunge at a matador immediately upon entering tho arena. The matador, dropping bis scarlet shawl, fled for protection behind one of the five “shields”—little fences built up just close enough to the wall of the arena to allow a man to slip behind. The bull tossed the shawl about oil its horns, and then plunged wildly at another matador, who quickly sought tho protection of a shield. Then the picadores prodded the brute most unmercifully, and one of them, seizing a bauderilla, strum it into the neck of the suffering animal, whore it hung, and was soon covered with blood from the wound. The brutal treatment, instead < f angering the bull, seemed to fill him with fear, but lie still continued to plunge occasionally at the matadors, and would doubtless have worked himself into a fury had not the management answed the cry of a couple of spectators ami turned liitn out. On the other occasion a savage hull was led into the arena, and, after having received a couple of thrusts from the picadors, began to snort ami paw the ground and make tilings decidedly lively for the matadors. Most of the spectators were cheering themselves hoarse as every new wound was given the animal, when suddenly tho gate was opened and out the enraged bull rushed and was soon beyond the sight of the vaqueros, who feigued to pursue him. At this the patience of the crowd seemed to exhaust itself, and the cheers of but a moment before were changed to a storm of hisses and wild howls, mingled with cries of “Fraud!” “Put-up job!” “Give us back our money!” etc. Tho hand struck up a tune, but .t was smothered by yells, and fur a while pandemonium reigned. From that moment the crowd be came more and more dissatisfied and began 'to leave, and half an hour after it had dispersed, and even the matadors and picadores had left tho place. It was re marked that that the show had one good point: “It had given the civilized specta tors just enough of a bull fight to show them what a brutal pastime tho genuine Spanish sport must be.” A CURIOUS CASE. In Which a Knock-Kneed Man Sues for Pecuniary Damages. A case of somewhat peculiar and unusual character was decided by the Supreme Court at Atlanta, Ga., Saturday. Joseph Evans sued George W. Collier, of Fulton county, for SIO,OOO damages. He alleges that at the age of 4 yeai-s he came into the hands of Mrs. Evans, a sister of Collier, who claimed that lie was bound to her, and that she kept him at work for her until he reached the age of 10, when she turned him over to Collier. He alleged that during all this time she compelled him to work very hard, making him carry heavy cans of milk to the city, four miles from where they lived; in consequence of which ho became knock-kneed; that after she turned him over to Col lier, he was put to work on the latter’s farm, and was worked so hard that he be came still more knock-kneed, that he went to an eminent surgeon in Atlanta, who told him-he would straighten his legs if Collier would pay the cost of the necessary appa ratus, which would be $25, but that Collier refused to do this, and continued to work him. He also charged that Collier once ordered him to shoot a cow, promising that be would stand up to him arid shield him from t rouble on account of it; that he shot the cow, was arrested, and was bailed out by Collier;but that Collier afterward got angry with him, and by strategy and false representations enticed him to town and gave him up to the Sheriff, who put him in jail and kept him there for several days. When the case came up in the Sujierior Court counsel for Collier demurred to the declaration, on the ground that no sufficient cause of action was alleged. Tho demurrer was sustained and the case dismissed. Messrs. Reub Arnold & Bon, the plaintiff’s attorneys, then carried the case to the Su preme Court. The Supreme Court Satur day affirmed the decision of the Superior Court. The court held that Evans failed to allege facts going to show that Collier was under any legal obligation to pay for the straightening of his legs, there being no allegation that Collier had not paid him for his work; also, that so far ns could lie inferred from the declaration, Evans knew that the shooting of the cow was an offense, and must take the consequences. Hence no ground for damages had lx>en alleged. The decision was rendered by Justice Blandford. It is doubtful if just such a case was ever tried in Georgia liefore, ami the attorneys are satisfied that the court has established a precedent that- will he of incalculable value to future generations of litigants. Zebehr Pasha’a Story. From the London Daily yews. The latest and longest interview of recent times is surely that of Zebehr Pasha by a lady. It occupied over four months, and a first installment of it appears in the Con temporary Ueriew for September. Miss, or Mrs., Shaw ran Zebehr to earth at Gib raltar, in his lonely cottage on the Rock, ami there. - ummndrd by nis servants, who occasionally helped with illustrative notes, and witu the aid of an interpreter, she took down the old slave hunter’s story. It is needless to say that in her report Zebehr is washed quite white. He is a gentleman of most ancient descent, and lie can count back for forty generations, right tip to Abbas, the uncle of the prophet. He was kidnapped into the Oentral African trade, and he ap pears to have passed his life in a praise worthy attempt to moralize it. His scheme of slave battalions was merely a human alternative to the Nyam-Nyam practice of cannibalism. He induced that tribe to sell tiieir enemies instead of eating them. When Zebehr began to do bu- iness with them they ate all prisoners of war and all fat persons, as well as all who were "ill-be haved.” It was not, however, considered go- 1 breeding to eat your own relatives. They were sold to eat, and flliuT piety always negotiated the sale of its mother to a friend. This opening installment of a strange story will make us all long to hear more of Zebehr. American Taste and Skill, represented by Colgate & Cos., produce perfumes and toilet soaps more delicate than can be made abroad. THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1887. ETIQUETTE IGNORED. The Uncivilized Way Atlanta Treated Some of Her Visitors. The Atlanta correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle writes as follows about the ex position: "Another oversight which oc curred and which was so palpably wrong that I was sure it was tho result of mistake and not intention, was allowing visiting military companies, who came by invita tion of the exposition to take part in the sham battle, to i>ay their way into the grounds. This, upon investigation, I found to have occurred in this way; It was ex pected that the military would inarch out to the grounds as an escort to the Presi dent. in which case, of course, they would have passed into the gates with out hindrance; but when the day proved so inclement it was decided not to have the in fantry march out through the muddy streets, and the}' were directed to go out on the railroad exposition cars. This put them out on tho opposite side of the grounds to the main entrance. At these gates the only instructions the gatekeepers had were to let nobody in or out without a ticket. Tlio managers neglected to give other orders in reference to the military, and so it hap pened that several of the companies had to l>ay their way. This was of course an awkward oversight, and the exposition managers have promptly refunded tho money in cases that have been brought to their attention. If therearoaiiy companies who have not had their money refunded, if the Captain will make out an account of the amount paid out and send it to the ex position managers it will be promptly attended to. “One of the just subjects of criticism was the neglect of the visiting official represen tives of other States. Friends of Gov. Tay lor, of Tennessee, complain very much at tlio way he was neglected, and when at a late hour he received a personal invitation to the club reception, which did not include his staff officers, who came as his escort, ho properly declined it. “ih -ii, again, there has been some com ment upon the way the officers of the Pied mont Exposition monopolized the President and his wife on public occasions, it being urged by some that instead of the President and Vice President of the exposition occu pying the Presidential carriage it would have been more fitting to have had Gov. and Mrs. Gordon as their companions, and to have had a more extended procession, which should have included the entire party accompanying the President and the visit ing Governors of other States with their stuff officers and the Mayor of Atlanta. There is no lock of comment upon the neglect of Mayor Cooper through out the affair After the recep tion of the General Assembly and State offi cials in the executive office when the party left for the exposition grounds, Gov. Gordon was allowed to look out for himself aud fol low along in his own private carriage. As he made nis way through the crowded street, however, to tiis carriage there was no lack of honor to him there, for so many Geor gians flocked about him to shake his hand and look on his beloved features that it was some little time before lie could join Mrs. Gordon in the vehicle and follow the pro cession. There are two sides to the ques tion, though President Cleveland was the guest of the exposition, and not of the State of Georgia, and while it might have given him a higher opinion of the ex position managers to have seen them Honoring their distinguished Governor, and giving him a prominent place in the exercises of the procession, stilt, if they did not do so, it was nobody’s business but their own; but, then, you know, people will talk. The people of Georgia, however, never allow Gov. Gordon neglected w lion they have an opportunity to honor him, and, both at the exposition grounds and the re viewing stand of the torchlight procession, he had to make brief acknowledgments of their enthusiastic calls for him. But the ex cuse that he was not the guest of the State could not hold good in Mayor Cooper’s case, for he was the guest of Atlanta, and his visit was to the Gate City as much as to its exposition, aud yet so far as any public recognition goes President and Mrs. Cleve land do not even know that Atlanta has a Mayor. It isn’t every exposition that se cures the President and his wife as an attrac tion. however, and when the President and Vice President of the exposition got them in tiieir flower-bedecked carriage safely en route to the fair grounds, the scene of pro prietorship was too enchanting to allow them to remember those little social ethics and amenities that it might have been more modest and creditable for them to have borne in mind. CONGRESSMAN CARLTON. He is Barred From the President’s Room by a Drawn Sword. Prom the Washington (Ga.) Gazette. Our Congressman from this district left Atlanta on the same train, in any other bur a pleasant frame of mind. When the Presi dent reached the Kimball House at mid night on Monday the relentless masses that were packed in and around the Kimball were determined that they would call out the President aud have a speech from him then and there. The whole-souled Carlton thought he would do what he could to ap pease the clamoring multitudes, and with Mr. Beerinan, proprietor of the Kimball, went up as near as thev could approach to the private parlor in which the President was, and sending word in tuat Capt. Henry Carlton, Representative of th Eighth,would like to see Senator Colquitt. Mr. Grady, or some gentleman who could speak to the President. He sinqilv wanted Mr. Cleve land to come out and bow a good night to the multitudes, but theonly answer he eon Id g t wax “No.” without any qualifications. And Capt. Carlton says worse than that, there was a l ellow- standing there poking at him with the point of a sword to keep him h ick. Our honorable Representative says that, the next time he und rt ikes to call on the President it w-ill not be iu Atlanta.
