Now York Tribune.
Major Eiton , the president of the
Kdlson Light company , was naked
yesterday what his company thought
of the plan proposed by the .Brush
company to use atorago batteries in
connection with an arc-light current.
"Tho public , " aaid Major Eaton"do
not distinguish between different sys
tems of lighting. The Edison system
was invented to supplant gas for do-
inoatio lighting , end was made abso
lutely Bftfo ao na to bo free from danger -
gor in houses. For that purpoao Mr.
Edison adopted a low-proaauro current
aud carries It under ground. The
Brush aud othar are light syatoma
wore developed for a different pur
pose , principally that of street light
ing. They ute currents of
high prcsaurn and carry thorn
over aerial wires. It la now
proposed to introduce these high-
pressure currents into houses to feud
otorago battorloo. This high-prcsauro
current uacn by the arc lights end
proposed to bo used in houaea forntor-
ago battoriea has a prcaauro of 2,000
voltn , which meauo icstant death to
any ono who touchea thu wires. The
Edisou current haa a proeouro of only
100 volta , about ono twentieth of the
are light nnd storage battery current ,
and thu Ediaon wircu can bo handled
with entire a&fety like wood , and glvo
no shock whatever. Wo believe that
no current should ho introduced into
a house which ia utrong enough to
kill , and Mr. Ediaon has purfcctod
his ayatom nccordinqly. Wo
shall be sorry to oeo the death
current of the are light
circuit ujcd to supply atomgn bat
toriea in houaea , becaueo the danger
and deaths euro to follow will injure
all systems of electric lighiing for do.
meatio purposes , especially our own.
The public will not discriminate-
They do not know that oloctrio cur
rents differ in intensity and danger.
So long as the death currouto of the
are lights are used only for street
lighting , the danger of death is limited
to the workmen of the arc lijjht com
pany and to firemen in caao of fires.
Hut when thia death current is cur
ried into houses , although it bo car
ried no further than the storage bat
tery , an clement of danger
and death appears which may
lead to a wholesale , although
unjust condemnation of all Bystoma of
domestic electric illumination. When
ever the death current ia thus actually
introduced into a houno to feed ator
ago batteries , wo hope the public will
remember the distinction between It
aud Mr. Edison's current , which , like
the ether details of his nyatom of
lighting , haa been perfected with nn
r special eye to absolute safety. If
the public will understand thia dla-
Linotlon the Ediaon system will oacapo
future censure for uccldontn and
deaths caused , not by our safe current ,
but by the nlgh-prosaurp current of
another system of lighting used in
streets but not adapted to housca. "
Experience n * a Tolo-
ITuplior.
"What were the real facto of that
Boston experience you had in faat re
ceiving n good many years a ot" Mr.
Edison was asked yesterday.
"Lot mo use , that waa in 18C8 , I
liad been working In Louisville , Ky. ,
a couple of yean , and wont from
there to Michigan , A friend named
Adams got mo a place In Boston , and
L oaino over , nrriviug there about 4:30 :
o'clock , and had to go to work at 5:30 :
o'clock. Although it waa the rnlddlo
of winter. 1 came into the of lice with
a linen duster on , for I waa very poor
then. A fellow named Jock Wright ,
who knqvr mo out west , thought to
[ lave Bomu fun , so Lo posted the ollico
and had Now York put on an operator
named Bagloy , at the end of the line ,
with a apodal of 800 words to The
Journal. Ho had had my end switched
to a table about the mlddlo of the
room , near the manager's desk.
Not auspucting anything , I eat
down and commenced jinking
it , Soon Bagloy commenced to
'whoop 'om up , ' and , although
I was accustomed to keep nix
or eight norda behind in copying ,
I thought best to cloau up , especially
an ho commenced to oond seine uwful
sticking stuff , making I'd of his m's
and contracting his words , sending
'liny , ' for Instance , for 'immediately,1
I having to write it out In full. Ilap
ponlng to look up , I noticed fifteen or
twenty operators grinning behind mo ,
Then I saw it woa n 'put up job , ' and
my blood got up and I determined I
would not break. Operators In Now
York naked over ether wlrca if I waa
getting it , and would hardly believe
thu replica. When I thought ho had
reached the top of his epoech I open
ed my key aud said : 'Don't go to
aleep ; thako yourself and hurry
throuch thiil'
"The way I managed it waa thia ;
I had practised all kinds of handwrit
ing , r.nd found that by a kind of print
hand I could write fifty-ilvo worda per
minute , and I know thcro waa no man
who could keep up that spued with a
telegraph key , for I felt aafe if 1 could

the - p , in , 'press report , ' listening
boeido the receiving operator , until
after nwhilo I could receive it very
niooly , aud then I wanted to receive
press myself. Naturally , when I had
iho real responsibility of taking it , I
'bulled' it bad nt first , as they sent it
at the rate of forty words a ininuto. I
.nought the matter over , and worked
out n little plan to have the register
udent eoino tin-foil as it came in , nnd
; hon they had the boy turn it through
another instrument , which tiokod it
off at Iho rnto of about twenty-five
worda per mlnuto , which * I road aud

rouble was that wo got 'SO' ( good

THE BAD AND WORTHLESS
Ire never imitated or counterfeited.
This la especially true of a family
raodlcino , and it is positive proof that
ho roinody imitated ia of the highest
nluo. As BOOH an it Imd boon toatod
nnd proved by the whole world thut
lop Bittern was the vmrcat , bust nnd
neat viiluublo family tnodicino on
tartli , many imitatlonn nprung up nnd
jcgnn to ote.-il the notioua in which
ho press and pcoplo of the country
md expressed the merits of II. B. ,
and In evoiy way trying to induce out-
orinj ; invulida io uaa their ntufT in
stead , expecting to nrnko money on
ho credit and good name of II. B.
Many others ntarted iiontruraB put up
n similar style to II. B. , with vari
ously devised uamai In which the
" " " " used in
word "Hop" or "Elops" were
away to Induce people to believe they
were the saino as Hop Bittern. All
such pretended romadica or cures , no
matter what their ntylo or nnmo in.
and espicially thoeo with the word
" " " " in their in
"Hop" or "Hops" name or
r.ny way connected with them or their
tame , are imitations or counterfeits.
Jowaro of them. Touch none of
hem. Use nothing but genuine IIop
3ittora , witli n bunch or cluster of
; rucn llopu on the wliito label. Trust
lathing elco. Drogciats and dealers
are warned against dealing In Inilta-
