Sunday's dispatches say that mat

The Democratic city of Beddetord has
invited the Fusion Leidslature to hold

Fusion State Treasurer who was State

'What a VlawltorSaw and Was Told There
Some Discrepancies Noted.
New York Stir. 1-.th,
The pnblic has been treated ftre
quently of late to descriptions of a
glowing ch, wadter conerning , Mir.
Thomas A. Edison and his workshops,
at Menlo Park, N. J., and the inen
tor's promises to deottonstrate beyond
cavil the practicability of' tho electric
light for purposes oftgeneral iilutina
tiolt have been spread broadcast over
the world by mneans1 of' "interview.'
and other articles in various periodi
eals. By way of contrast to these as
sortions, it is perhaps worth calling at
tentiotn to the experiences of an ntilire
ly disinterested gentlemtan who visited
the Edison laboratory, at. Men1tlo Park,
yesterday, itd sutbseqcently paid ia
visit to the oiliees of the the Edisonl
Electric Light Company, in this city,
both visits being in the interest o
Western gentleman who wished to oL
tatin the reftusal ofte Ie light for a well
known city in case its practicability
should be c'lenonst.rated. lie expect
oid to hid it Metlo Park an extensive
laboratory, where ia corps of Edison's
assistants would be seen engagel in
experiments under the great electri
cian's directions. The tdowing ac
counts published suggested visions of
numlberless bottles, whose labels in
dexed every chemical known to science,
in the mnipul tlationl of which the visi
tor expected to discover every kind of
chemical apparattus that would in any
way be iuselt iu clectricalexperimenti.
Instead ot' all this, hie tmnd at halt
dozen small buildings. with bit; few of
the adjuncts he had imnagined. In onae
building a single assistatat was engag
in testing telepholnes of a pat tert w hich
ie was intoued Wits ititendetld tor the
English iarket., and had not been in
trcaluced here. A young man stootd
oil t few yards. and tromt the other end
of the wire yelled some notsense about
Matry's little lattb. wtich the obliging
assistatnt inbt"tned the visitors wts
heard in a tone louder than it was
spoken. Tlhe instrunment was anl adap
tattion of tJ.c Engllisht microphone, anid
the visitor speadily learned that. in
plae of lthe suppostled laboratory being
tilled with eithusiastic young meta
wrestling with science, its occupants
were ucechanics who attende<d st.rict.lv
to Iie business of mtanuthcturing attl
testig this kind of telephone. The
activity so flncit'ully described in the
palers Wats expl latinled. The room
wi"hicht he was told was the scene of (the
catrbou-lmtking appeared do ser.ed, ats
indeed did every room which was ex
pected to be lively wit It the work of
getting out the electric lamps.
'"ilow tanty lights have you in oper
ationt?" ie asked the guide.
"Soiewhere about seveutv or e'gl.
ty," was the reply.
''And how mtany lamps were lighted
at the opening Ot New Year's night?'
"About the same nuunbert but, we
are expecting to have about eight hun
dred very soon."
"Wh11ltat. is causing the delay?"
''We are gettitg them out' as fast as
possible, but. the glass-blower is de
taining its. le can't work very fast.
We have advertised for more glass
blowers, but have received no answers
yet."
The visitors, at. the end of this con
versltion, reached the building oceu
pied by the glass blower, a young
'Thturingiau, who had been bred to the
business from boyhood.
"'low long does it take you to blow
theo glass for Onto lamp?" asked thte
visitotr.
"I never* firured it out, but I wvill
make1( otne for youi."
I t took him just three minutes by the
waitcht.
"D)oos this entd y'our par't of thte
wvork?" Was ntext asked.
"Oh, n; I pit ut it ecarbonse anud
seal the ltitps."
"Catn y'ou tlttke a Ilmp compilet.e int

"'And you work toln hout's au day?"
"Oh, ves, etasily."

he wtas sure thter'e were eighty lightts

admittedA thtat he did tnot ktnow certaini
1ly, but Ito thou'rht at least thereo had
beetn sixty JigYted at onte time. At
that rate, a sht le htorse-power wvould
mnainltainl five lights, eacht equatfl to tetn

of' the Edison Eketric Light Company
hte wvas told that they were not y-et prte
pared to sell prilvileges to anybody.
Thtey were not through experinmenting,
and unttil they had detmonstrated the
practicability of' theiru light, through
the contstr'uctionl of a regular systemi,
thtey did n tot pr'opose to put it int thte
mtarket.
A few weeks before New Year-'s, the
gentlemeni whtose obser'vationts are
givent above ch-mteed to ask a p)romti
nent electr-iciani whtat heo thought of the
p)romtised Edison exhtibition, just thent
anntounced. "I will wvrite It out for
you," he r-eplied. It was as follows:
"The Edison Electr'ic Light (Compa.
nyV will antnonntee, with a gtrantd flout'
