One Mile of Broadway. New York,
Lighted by it - Eilison's Prospecis-
Can the Light- be Adapted to House-
hold Use i
One mile of Broadway, New York, is now
lighted by Edison's system, and the inven-
tor only waits for aldermanic liberty to
light an enlarged area. A reporter who
went on an interviewing trip lately says:
Mr. Thomas A. Edison sat at his desk in
the Office of the Edison ElectricLight Com-
pany, at No. 65 Fifth avenue. The wizard
said, strange as it may seem, that he will
not underbid the gas companies. If com-
petition necessitates a reduction of his
prices, however, he will be able to reduce.
He will simply offer consumers a better
light than they have -safer, more brilliant,
without noxious gases to make the house
abort -m 'nable and in every way superior to the
iiil
illuMing agents that are in use. He
does ot plume himself on the invention of
tho electric light; he has done no more
thazt utilize the discovery that Faraday
made in 1832. Nor does he expect elec-
tricity to supersede gas and oil, since these
'illuminators 'must necessarily, hold their
own in the household, especially in small
towns. Indeed, he desiresthat in the first
places he will light in this city the con -
Burners will retain their gas fixtures and
use some gas to make the difference between
gaslight and the electric lignt conspicuous.
•He continued:
"In many respects my system, differs
radically from all methods of lighting with
which the peblic are familiar -chiefly in
the fact that my lamp isintended to serve
in the same places and to give the same
volumes of light that is emitted from the
bestform of gas jet now in ordinary domes-
= tic u0e.. The methods of lighting zloty seen
in the streets are by the systems known- as
the voltaic arc system, by which a light
much too powerful for oidinarydo_t.nestic
and commercial use is produced. The
lamp' of the Edison incandescent system
gives a warm and mellow ray, with some-
what less of -the ojange than is found in the
cowmen gaslight :It has been my effort
. to produce: a light - adapted . to the
hunren. eye that has been _ liabituttted
-, to gaslight, My Method of supplying light
is strictly analogous to the _niethed of sup-

A !BADMAN'S FREAK.
A Bogus Cardlnal,—Attired in the Robes
of 011ice, Arrested in the Pope's Ante-
chamber.
The Liberta of March 5th has the fol-
lowing:
The arrest of a cardinal is not an abso-
lutely new thing, though a somewhat
unusual one, but what is unprecedented is
an arrest under the conditions in which it
happened yesterday.
At the Vatican, yesterday, while his holi-
ness and all the College of Cardinals were
in the Sistine chapel taking part in the
ceremonies incident to the anniversary of
the Pope's coronation, a cardinal, attired
in the robes of his office, presented himself
in the private antechamber of the Pope.
At that moment the antechamber was
deserted by all except the servants
in attendance, who received his emin-
ence with all the respect due to
his high dignity. The first salutations
over, however, the presence of a cardinal
in that place and at that hour, while the
whole of the college of cardinals was With
the • Holy Father, caused Some Surprise,
and the attendants began to wonder who
this new Erninentissimo could be, Whose
face was unknown to them.
"He must be one of the new ones," they
whispered, and one of them at last was
bold enough to approach the object of their
curiosity and respectfolly inquire what he
was waiting for.
"1 am waiting for the Pope," he replied.
" But,does not your eminence know that
the Pepe is in clia,pel toglay and does not
receive V' • •
Tho general surprise was not decreased
by this apparent ignorance of the usages of
the Vatican, and finally the Mysterious
personage was requested to give his name.
Sabsequently ou his being questioned it

a peer madman who had on several oeca--

PROHIBITION IN KANSAS
Churches to be Shut Up for Using Wino
at Communion.
(N. Y. Tribune.)
The new prohibition law of Kansas is
meeting with the strongest opposition from
a quarter whence trouble was probably
least expected. The law absolutely forbids
the Use of wine in the sacrament, punish-
ing the minister who so administers the
sacrament with two years' .imprisonment
in the penitentiary, and shutting up the
church itself as a public nuisance, accord-
ing to the interpretation of the Rev. Dr.
Beatty, rector of the Episcopal church at
Lawrence. Last Sunday that clergyman
administered the sacrament as usual,
regardless of the consequences, having
previously announced to his congregation his
determination to do so. He said: "We are
willing to render unto Queer the things
which are Omar's, but we will give to God
the things thatare His. I say, as did Peter,
'Judge ye whether we should obey men
rather than God.' Of one thing you may
be assured: we shell never recognize for a
moment the attempts of human legislation
to destroy the great sacrament of the
Christian Church." It is probable that the
Rev. Dr. Beatty's action will be imitated by
other clergymen, and the result is hard to
predict. It will be argued that the state
cannot perrnit the prohibition law to be
openly violated by the clergymen without
arousing a storm of opposition from those
to whom its enforcement is a pecuniary
loss, and, on the otherhand, that to consign
the Rev. Dr. Beatty to prison and close his
church as a nuisance, would place sharp
weapons in the hands of those who want to
see the law hewn down roott-and branch.
