EDISON'S AS AN OPERATOR

A AN

His GENICS SERVES HIM WELL EMERGENCY. From the New York Herald.

A characteristic incident of the early career of the "Wizard of Menlo Park," aptly illustrating *his ready faculty for invention, was told the writer yeeterday by a former collaborator of the great inventor: "It was," (.aid he, "in the summer of 1S66. I was working in the Western Union office in Louisville. The Southern report wire ran through that office. Edtfcon was in Indianapolis. The report was sent by Cincinnatti every night, commencing at 6 o'clock, and lasting on an average until 2 A. M. The sender at Cincinnati was a rattler. I've frogotten now whether it was Bob Ay res or some other rapid sender, but I remember distinctly that there was scarcely a man in the country at t^at time who could handle a key with hiin. Lord, how he used to whoop that report up!" And the narrator, stirred by the remembrance of Mr. Ayres's rapidity, stopped to emit a prolonged whistle. "Well, as I was saying," he continued, "Edison was in Indianapolis. At this time nobody had ever heard of him, and he wasn't much at receiving. In fact, he was far from being what we call a first class operator, and when he sat down to take the Cincinnati report—which, by the way was the crack work of the day— everybody predicted that he wouldn't last long. It used to be tfsort of mutual understanding in those days to 'salt' every new man that went on the report wire. The first night that Edison took hold the boys looked for fun. The sender was in his best trim. He started in at amoderate gait—say twenty-five words a minute. Breaking on that line in those days was rare. If a man broke more than twice a night Cincinnati got awfui mad and swTore at him like a trooper. But outside ot that we hated to break, as it was a sort erf admission of being a 'plug,' and when you tell a first class operator that he is a 'plug' you touch him in a tender spot. Sometimes, though, the best men that ever lived would have to break when Ayres got warmed up and slashed it along at forty five words a minute. "Well, on the night Edison took hold, Cincinnati started the report moderately. He hadn't sent more than five minutes before Edison opened his key and told him to go back half a dozen words. Nothing was said to this. At the end of about ten minutes more Edison again broke. Cincinnati complied the second time, but rather snappishly, and the boys could see he was getting riled. A few minutes more Indianapolis was again heard from. 'Who's at the key?' snarled Cincinnati. 'Edison,' was the timed reply from Indianapolis. 'Well, Mr. Edison,' said Cincinnati, sarcastically, 'I would be much obliged if you would let an operator take your place.' Edison didn't say anything in reply, but all along the line the operators chimed in their appreciation of the sarcasm with such remarks as 'Oh, give the office boy a chance 'Let up on him, he's a battery man:' 'Where did you learn to telegraph, young feller?' and so on. Still Edison said nothing. Presently Cincinuati started in again, and this time he gave his best licks. The report came rushing along at forty words a minute. Edison was in hot water. He broke and broke until it became unendurable, and all the report men set to abusing him roundly.

They called him a 'plug' of the first water and adviaed him to get a broom and sweep the streets, to throw himself off the dock, to hire an organ, to peddle peanuts and to do many other things of alike unpleasant nature, but he stood it like a major, never making a reply. Well, to make a long story short the report was nearly an hour behind time on account of Edison's frequent breaking, and Cincinnati, when he gave 'good night,' said as a parting salute, 'that if that 'plug,' Edison, was goihg to take the report in Indianapolis another night he (the sender, would resign his place.'

A WONDERFUL CHANGE.

"The next night at the usual time Cincinnati called up for report and the operators all answered When Indianapolis gave his signal Cincinnati asked, 'Who is at the key?' 'Edison,' was the reply. 'That settles it,' said Cincinnati. 'I be hanged if I'm going to waste my time on you any more. Unless another man takes the report in Indianapolis I'll switch you off and not send you a line. It's a downright shame,' he added, 'to put such a "plug" as you on a first-class wire.' 'Oh, try him once more,' said 1'erre Haute, 'p'r'aps he'll do better.' 'What's the use?' snarled Cincinnati, 'it's onlv a loss of time.' After a while, however, and with much grumbling, Cincinnati condescended to give him just one more chance, adding 'the first time he breaks, off goes the switch.' *'Tbe boys all looked forward to a break from Edison inside the first ten minutes," continued the operator, "but it didn't come. Soon Cincinnati got warmed up, and she came whooping along like wildfire. Memphis had to scratch with all his might to keep up, but nary a break from Edison. In a few minutes Louisville was obliged to take wa:er. Next Terre Haute gave a break. Then Memphis 6uccumed. Still not a sound from Edison. They all wondered how he had kept up when the crack operators were obliged to break, and presently Cincinnati, sharing in the surprise, •topped to a6k: "Indianapolis, are you getting this report?' 'Ay, ay,' came from that station. 'Is it Edison?' was the next inquiry of the sender. 'Ay, ay, Edison,' was the answer. Jri, •"How does. shf Some!" continued Cincinnati,still suspicious. 'First rate' responded Edistfc. Once more the sender pitched in, and it was plain to be seen that his mind was made up to compel JSdwon to break. For an hour the report 'ike a torrent, the perspiration ^.poiMid down the necks of the operators the/ strained every nerve seemed as though Old IS ick hlmfcelf was at the other end of the wire. The first break was from Louisville. He was followed by Terte Haute, then Memphis had to cave under«gain, and so it ran, all the boys.breaking but Edison. Not a whisper came from him. They were all nonpulsed. Such magnificent receiving had rarely been seen. When at length the .report was ended Cincinnati held ••good nieht' a few minutes to apologize to Edison for his abase of the night previous the rest joined in the apologv and the business of the night ended with Edi

.. r*

ptftoNl deputation as a first-class operator nHnly established." HOW IT WAS DONE. "But how happened the extraordinary change?" asked the writer. "Ha! ha! i!" roared the tetfgraphe-. "It was rich. Wnatdo you suppose the ingenius rascal had done? It was a week before he was found out. Every night Cincinuati did his level best, and made every one of the boys break from three to half a dozen times each, but not a do* from Edison. On the sixth night one of the operators smelled a rat, and the next day he called up a chum in Indianapolis, and 6aid: 'I wish you would drop into your office to night and watch that man Edison. There's a screw loose somewhere with him. He has taken the report every night for a week without a break, and it's impossible to make him break.' 'All right,' responded the Indi anapolis operator, and the next night, true to his promise, he dropped into the office. Edison was all alone, sitting with his chair balanced on its hind legs, his feet resting on the report table, an old clay pipe in his mouth and the manifold on which the report was written in his lap. The report was not with the lightning rapidity usual to it. It *vas coming slowly and leisurely, as though time was no object. Edison was cooMy jotting it down and taking things as easy as you please. The entrance of the operator caused him to start. He looked confused, as thought he'd been doing something wrong, and hurriedly began manipulating the instrument. Then the operator discovered that Edisons had rigged up two sounders, one working the other in Fuch a way that he could maKe the report come fast or slow, as he desired, so that while the Cinoinnatti man was sweating drops as big as Lima beans in his efforts to'salt' Edison, that worthy was making the report come as slow a*s the fancy seised him. Of course it made the report late for ihe printers, as after Cincinnati had given 'good night' Edison had to remain an hour or so later to copy up, but so long as he could keep it to himself there would be no fault found. The next day the story was all over the south, and the manager of the Indianapolis office quietly informed Edison that,'whi he was an ingenious young man, he would in future plea«o not make any more experiments with the wires.'"

THE WORLD AND SENATOR

•Ji ,, VOORHEES. From the Cincinnati Enquirer. The New York World, published on the Atlantic coast, is making a venomous attack upon Senator Voorhec6, of Indi ana. This means, of course, that the entire money power of the East is laboring to defeat the re-eiectton of Mr. Voorhees to the senate. Few circumstances could more conclusively show the deep determinat.on of the money power to contest every foot of battle ground in this great wra upon the people with unremitting zeal. The New York World is assumed to speak for th: leading Democrats of New York. It is understood to represent their opinions. Of course, so much of the money power as is Republican in politics is bitterly hostile to Mr. Voorhees. The money power that is has gained complete possessiosi of both parties in the East, and both unite in electing or defeating the election of United States senators in the states of the far west. This is an impertinent and un-Democratic interference with the affairs of Indians, to begin with. Moneyed New Yorkers walk into a distant state and deprive the people of their true representation in the Senate of the Unittd States, one of the higest rights secured to a state. It is not only an outrage upon the state, but it is infamous conduct toward Senator Voorhees and the noble democracy he so nobly led to victory in the last election. The fight in Indiana, conducted against enoimous odds in the face of twoi nfamous Republican gerrymanders, legislative and congressional, was known to all the country to be the fight of Senator VooJhees. The Republican organs and orators in and out of Indiana announced the election of Senator Voorhees to be the issue, and implored the people of the state to choose a legislature that would defeat him. This was the state issue, and Mr. Voorhees, managing his own canvass with high ability, after a laborious and splendid campaign, won the victory. It was his personal triumph us well as the triumph 6f his cause. It is nothing less than infamy to now attempt to tear the nobly earned fruits of his victory from him. We can not but think that the Democratic members of the legislature who should refuse to vote for Mr. Vcorhees would not be cordially welcomed by his constituents on his return home. No honorable Democrat in Indiana will appear as a candidate against him. The election is at hand. The matter needs attention.

THE PRINCESS ALICE.* Tx From the Chicago Inter-Ocean. The Princess Alice, third child and second daughter of Queen Victoria of England, died on aturday, the seventeenth anniversary of her father's death. The Princess Alice was married July i, 1862, to Prince Ludwig of Hesse, who succeeded to the throne of the Grand Duchy, a6 Ludwig IV,, June 13, 1877. She leaves five children: Victoria, born in 1863 Elizabeth, in 1864 Irene, in 1866 Ludwig, in 186S, and Alice, born in 1872. Her son Leopold, born in 1871, was accidently killed by a fall in May,

1^74

a°d her youngest daughter, Marie, born within a few days of that sad event, died a few weeks since. The disease was diphtheria, and the Princess Alice, always a devoted mother, while nursing her child was prostrated with the same disease. The Grand Duchy of Hesse embraces only 2,866 square miles of ter ritory, and has a population of 882,349. The title of Grand Duke was conferred on the rulers of Hesse by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1806, and the title was confirmed by the Congress Of Vienna. As one of the sovereign States of the German Empire, Hesse has three members in the Bundesrath and nine deputies in the Reichstag, and ranks as the sixth State of the empire. The death of the Princess Alice makes the first break in Queen Victoria's family of nine children.
