A cloud is arts ing on the wheeling horizon, it is not yet larger than a man's hand, but when Edison puts his new horseless carriage on the market the bicycle will. have a rival that will bring the price down with a run, and eventually per haps, assert its supremacy. The elec- tric age is upon us, .and will in 'time reveluuionizeour existence. It is only do nfe twelve or fifteen years since the first lamp for street lighting was hung up- at the corner of Arch .and Seventh streets, Philadelphia, and but for the desperate and powerful opposition of gas companies electricity would now have entirely supplanted other means of illumination,, as it is monopolizing all other modes ofconveyance. Edison • says that his new carriage will short- ly be sold in perfect form for $100. There is no doubt et this price it will at once become popular, end the festive wheel may have to yield tirest place to the electric carriage of the future. 10 cent wall papers at 5A cent% and other lines at corresponding reductions 4,t J9husto l's clearing. sale, Felt hats, 10 cents up, at Johnston's clearing sale.
