like communication is secured between Paris and Marseilles. Tho exhibit rests - upon half the American frontage covering 9.000 feet, and is tho largest single exhibit in the Exposition. It is devised to illustrate in the miniature most of tho ereat practical results of Edison's inventions. For instance, the lighting of New York is shown bv subways, visible in the flooring, with charts and, apparatus indicating the distribution of the lamps and the control of force. His category of inventions, numbering 403, is presented either complete or by intelligible suggestion. It comprises his contributions to telegraphy, electric lighting systems, of meters, dynamos, motors transmission of power, railway electromotors, telephonic receivers and transmitters, and galvanic and secondary batteries, as used in the phonograph and milling machines, the electric pen, type writer, shafting, the vocal engine, and fruit preserving. The phonograph and the American writing machines are the popular delight of the exposition. Every nation will rind one of the phonographs speaking its own language, a snficient number of machines b;mg suitably equipped for the performance of this marvcL Mr. Edison has made a discovery in relation to tho coating of the phonograpn cylinder which will materially improve the quality of enunciation. The new cylinders are on their way here, out the nature of the discovery is withheld to insure his patent. In the American development electricity, commerce predominates; the French, sciences, and especially chemistry and applied mathematics. In the French exhibit, however, there are many practical machines in which it is employed, such as a rolling bridge for carrying and weighing, a steno-telegraphic machine, a simultaneous telegraph and telephone, a telephone ar.d microphone, autographicelectric trumpets and electric organ, and an electric piano and harp, a machine for measuring the resistance of electricity, and an electric elevator.. Among the less imposing, but not less ingenious machines which are looked on as Yankee notion hvEnrnnpans. are mn.rh in pa

for salting and coloring butter, which is matched by a French machine for de-salting and automatic weighing; an automatic American machine for making cork-screws out of wire, a machine for weaving the covering on rubber hose, and a bourbon machine. America is practically unrepresented in machinery, appertaining to textiles, and to the manipulation of skins, leather, furs, paper and stone. DISORDER AT A PARADE. Friction Between tho Police and the London Council A Chimney-Sweep's Audacity. London, May 26. Considerable disorder was occasioned at the . firemen's parade, yesterday afternoon, by a clash of authority between the officials to whom was intrusted the duty of preserving order. There has been much friction of late between the police and the County Council, and the council, seeing an opportunity to administer a snub to the police, lost no time in availing themselves of it Instead of the usual police escort for the parade, the council provided a cordon of volunteers, and had these appeared in timo to be of service, the council's well-meant snub would undoubtedly have had the desired eliect. Unfortunately, however, the volunteers failed to put in an appearance at the appointed time, with the result that no protection whatever was afforded the parade, or the thousands of spectators who had assembled to witness it. The crowd at one time became so unruly as to excite serious apprehensions for the safety of the notables who were present in carriages, many of them with ladies. A chimneysweep, black and grimy, facetiously mingled with the richly dressed ladies, besmearing their silks and satins, and there was no one to interfere with his frolic until he had seated himself upon the step of a carriage occupied py tho Prince and Princess of Wales. Not until the Princess, horrified at tho sweep's audacity, began to protest loudly, was the fellow seized and hustled out of the way. j GEXEKAL FOREIGN NEWS. One of Dickens's Famous Characters Find a Friend and Defender. London Special. Rather late in the day a man has arisen to defend our old friend Squeers, the master of Dotheboys Hall, and to paint his daughter Fanny in pleasant colors, incidentally of course attacking Dickens most tierjcely. The story, which is very interesting, is told in the Newcastle Chronicle. It relates that in spite of Dickens's denials, it is absolutely certain that the original of Squeers was a most estimable man, and that it must have been he, as ho was the only school teacher, who had only one eye, in the neighborhood of Gretna Bridge. lie was a very good man and very kind to his pupils, but had the misfortune to be not very polite to II. K. Brown and Dickens when they invaded his school, when he and his daughter wero at work. The girl, the sweetest and kindest of women, was known to the writer when he was an apprentice. She is spoken of as the sort of a woman a dog or child leaps to instinctively, which is not what we have ordinarily thought about her. Jloth. the father and poor Fanny died of broken hearts. The father also went crazy. Apprehension for the Safety of a Garrison. London, May 26. Captain Lugard, who was until recently in command of the English garrison stationed at Karonga, on Lake Nyassa, is homeward bound alone.

Commander Cameron is out in an appeal for funds to organize an expedition for their relief. He believes that unless steps are taken at once to rescue them from their perilous position tho eutire garrison must be annihilated. Ravages of Disease Among War Ships. London May 26.

TROUBLES OF A NEW TOWN

Irregularities Charged Against Officials of Oklahoma's Would-Be Capital. How Guthrie's Council Squandered the People's Money, Gave Away Valuable Franchises, and Gouged Town-Lot Contestants. Washington, May 25. Inspector Pickler, of the Interior department, now in Guthrie, Oklahoma, has sent a report to Secretary Noble, under date of May 18, on the situation in that city. In tho course of his report Inspector Pickler says: "For about ten days there has been a steadily increasing feeling here among the people against the City Council of Guthrie. This council yeas very irregularly chosen, to begin with, and, as tho people understood, for the purpose merely of putting the machinery of the city in motion. The Mayor was selected by a committee of seven, chosen by a massmeeting, and a committee of one from each State and Territory became the council. At the time this council was chosen it consisted of over thirty members, but now numbers about fifteen. Grave responsibilities wero forced upon them, and generally they have assumed and settled them in a creditable manner. They have preserved order, surveyed the town and practically cleared the streets. In these matters they are commended by alL They have, however, assumed other powers and undertaken to act in various matters, for which they are very generally and very emphatically condemned. They have appointed an attorney at a salary of $1,800 per year and an adviser of the council on arbitration at a salary in excess of this sum: a board of five arbitrators on settling the right of possession to lots, some being members of the council, at 10 per day, charging each contestant $10 before his case could be heard, and returning only the $10 to the party succeeding and keeping tho remainder. Sometimes there have oeen rive or six contestants for the same lot. They have granted or pretended to grant a franchise for ten years to a company to sup-, ply the city "with water, build .a bridge across the stream and grade the streets, and . in like manner have taken many ( such steps, against which the citizens loudly protest. And further, they are now collecting taxes an occupation tax of $5 per month, a survey tax, a recorder's tax on lots, etc. They have enacted harsh ordinances, for violation of which severe penalties are imposed. They are recklessly spending money in paying officials, aud are surveying the town on lines other than those recommended at the people's meeting, in order to save their own lots, "Further, it is asserted that the members of the council are among those who came in on Sunday before the 4J2d and seized all of the best lots, and that the city government has in all matters protected the interests of these men. This charge has been made more emphatic from the fact that the City Council has instructed its board of arbitration that, in considering who is entitled to a lot, the board shall not take into consideration the time of settling as before or after 4 o'clock, but treat the priority of settlement on Monday, the 22d, regardless of the hour, entitled the party to the lot. This the people considered in direct conflict with the President's proclamation. In the last few days the council has selected two other boards of arbitration of live each, at a compensation of $5 per day each, as claimed by some, and at $10 per day as claimed by others. The council nas transacted much of its business with closed doors. The lawyers have formed a bar association, and were the first to take action looking to an election of city officers, and to the drafting of a charter to govern them. A petition was circulated yesterday asking the council to call an election, to divide the city into wards, and to make a registry of the voters, and asking that the election be held on Monday, the 27th of May. Everybody, practically, signed the petition. "Independent of this petition, the citizens held a large mass-meeting last evening, on the government acre. They were very much in earnest, and very determined. After speeches by different persons, they passed a resolution ousting the Mayor and City Council, and appointed a committee to so notify them, and also passed a resolution appointing a committee of seven to call a city election, ignoring the present Mayor and council. At this time there had grown to bo considerable excitement, as the friends of the old council were on the outside of the building deriding this action. At this juncture, when a few men were urging an adjournment, leaving tho resolution in effect to oust the present council, there were loud calls for me, from, I think, both sides or sentiments. "I finally took the stand. I told them that, in my judgment, it was a mistake to not petition the Mayor and council to call the election, and that it would most likely result in two conflicting city governments and great disorder and confusion, as well as great danger to tne public good: that they must admit that the council had dono much to be conmended. and that I was confident an election would not be refused them. I agreed with them that they were entitled to a speedy election by ballot; that they wero entitled to a sworn statement from the present council as to all moneys collected or paid out: that the incoming administration should limit the fees of all officers and boards, should be economical, and should be very careful in regard to granting to individuals valuable franchises of tho city without due consideration. A Mr. Dale, an attorney, of Wichita, followed, advising the same course, and at the close of his remarks a motion was made to reconsider the vote declaring the offices vacant, but the chairman of the meeting, and about half a dozen others were in favor of the action already taken, and declared the motion out of order, and amidst great confusion, and no little excitement, the meeting was about to be adiouened. against the almost unanimous desire of those present to carry out my suggestion. They again called for me, and, quickly mounting the stand, I very earnestly appealed to them to act coolly, and asked them' if the resolution they had passed prevailed, what would become ofthe city, without officers and without a government until they elected others. The motion was again made to reconsider and was carried, and a committee appointed to present petitions to the Mayor requesting him to call an election. The meeting then adjourned in good humor. I do not think such an emergency will arise again. The council will grant the election in fact, just before the close of the meeting, it sent word that the election would be called for June 10. This, however, is too late a date to suit the people, and I think when we confer with the council on this point they will fix an earlier date. The meeting was unanimous, however, if the council refused to call the election, that then the citizens would call it. A Wot Prerented by the Troops. Kansas City, Mo., May 26. A Times special from Guthrie, Oklahoma, say6: E. A. Weed, claimant to a lot on First and Har rison streets, also claimed by Mr. Hayes, engaged a large force of men and began this morning to e recta buildingoverandaround the other claimant. Tho aggrieved party was soon reinforced by a large party of friends and idlers who were standing arouud the 6treet corners. At first a protest was mado against building on the Sabbath day. This, of course, was done to engage the sympathy of tho crowd which had collected, and which numbered by this time nearly 500 persons. After the contestants had engaged in a wordy quarrel, and at a preconcerted signal, the frame of the building, which consisted of the floor, beams and foundation sills, was picked up by the crowd and carried into the street. In doing this, part of thomencarTyingtheframe, in walking backwards, stumbled over a pile of lumber, and men and timbers were piled in a confused mass. While the disturbance was at its height. United States Marshal Needles arrived and commanded the crowd to disperse. He was opposed by argument by some of the leaders. Heat once secretly sent a messenger for the troops, a half mile distant, and in order to hold the people in check until the soldiers arrived, sent two marshals into the center of the crowd. During the next few minutes one or two lights, of little consequence, occurred, one of which was occasioned by a thief who attempted to ply his vocation. There was much excitement at this time, but aa soon aa tho blue coata were aocn

coming on a double-quick, the turbulent element quieted down, and in five minutes later the carpenters were at work, while the military, under Lieutenant Kowe, formed in hollow square around the site of the proposed structure. One man named John Gilchrist was clubbed by a soldier for not obeying the sentinel's orders. Too much credit cannot be given to Marshal Needles and his deputies for their untiring efforts in keeping peace. SUDAY BALL GAMES.

The Closing of Saloons at Shelbyville Leads to Democratic Reprisals. Special to the Indianapolis Jonrnal. Shelbyville, May 20. For the first timo in several years the saloons of this city have remained closed to-day. Tho new marshal put on a force of deputies and kept a close watch for violations of law. but the doors of the saloons were secured and no sales -were made.

Marshal Mann is determined to enforce the laws governing the liquor-dealers, not for one Sunday, but during his term of office. As a retaliation for the closing of the saloons. Constables Melay, Laws and Capp, three Democratic officials, compelled every line of business to suspend, and would not even allow the Indianapolis Journal and Sentinel sold on the street. The agents, not to be outdone, gave the papers away, and thus supplied the public with the morning news. These Democratic officers had a particular spite at Councilman Campbell, who is tho ticket agent for the "Big Four" road. They had given out word that he should not sell tickets for the Sunday trains, but ho did, just the same, under orders from Superintendent Bender.

Cows Kept In Stalls. Hoard's Dairyman. For those who are practicing, and thoso who intend practicing, such intensive farming as subtaintially precludes all pasturing, the question how little exrciso cov8 kept in health really need becomes a very important one. AV e apprehend that the experience of fanners, in the United States at least, is quite limited on the point of keeping cows in the stall, or on very small areas, the year round. The only cow we ever happened to see that had hai no exercise for more than a year gave every appearance of health and good condition; and tier milk was faultless the family having a good chance to be sure on that point, for she was the only cow kept for their use. The only mark on her, to indicate anything abnormal, because of her enforced confinement, was the lengthening' of the toes of the hoofg; but that was not absolute rroof, for w bavo Been far "worse cases of the enlongation of the hoofs of cows that were never c ontinod. There was another fact developed in the. treatment of the same cow after 6uch long confinement, the experiment of turning her upon an open.pasture in Sentember. for one week, instead of "soiling" her in the bam, was so disastrous, that it was feared sho would go dry entirely, and sho was put back in her stall, where sho soon resumed her usual flow of milk.

Go into a cigar store and you will bo amazed at tho enormous number of cigar boxes in sight. Most of them are only 'dummies.' You see the same thing in tho astonishing array of casks, bottles and barrels in liquor stores and barrooms. All outside show. You'll find very few places where the dummy system is not practiced in some way. A large class of people are affected by it?' m m The Twenty-Four-Uour System. Philadelphia Inquirer. Some day, no donbt, tho present svstetn of measuring a twenty-four-hour day by two groups of twelve hours each will bo abandoned for the twenty-four-hour system. Every now and then the subjwt comes up is discussed for a time and sulsides again; but the thought of the ago is dwelling on it, and in tho fullness of time it will be adopted. For many years it looked as if the plan of dividing the time ofthe country by hourly periods was impracticable, but it was adopted at last, and now the west-bouLd traveler finds no difficulty in counting forward an hour on his watch after he has passed Pittsburg. When the railroads take up tho twenty-four-hour system, tho general public will soon follow. Pleases the People. Boston Transcript.
