The Liberte says that there will be no such change in the balance of power in the chamber as would havo any serious influence upon the future of the republic. The results of the elections produced a favorable impression on the Bourse. Persons well acquainted with the locality, however, say tliat the number missing is greater than fifteen.

Edison first conceived the idea of the phonograph, remarked an electrician who was at one time In the "Wi»- ard's" employ. The phonograph is the wonder of the world, and one of the few Inventions which envious rivals have not charged Edison with having stolen. In fact, even his bitterest rivals for fame, all of whom appear to harbor the idea that it is their daty to detract from his reputation for genius and honesty, as a rule concede that "Edison did really invent the phonograph." It is an interesting story how he came to invent it. A DESTRUCTIVE CLOUDBURST, " Henry A. Mott, M. D., Ph. D. Wilkie Collins was stricken with paralysis on Sunday, the iiOth of June, while chatting with some friends at his mansion in Gloucester place, north of Hyde park. He was never married.

Jacksonville, Fin., Deluged anCl Damaged Guice. - At Detroit— Jacksonville, Fla., Sept. 24.—A cloudburst caused great damaged in this city during the afternoon. It has been raining hard all day, and about 5 o'clock a small black cloud was seen blowing rapidly toward the city from the southwest, 'the wind increased to almost a hurricane, and when directly over the city the cloudburst and a perfect deluge of water descended, its volume being greatest in the territory bounded by Newman, Forsytho and Laura streets and the St. John's river. In less than ton minutes the streets in this locality were flooded with water, the sewers being wholly inadequate to the task of carrying it off. The street pavement was mostly of circular Cyprus blocks, and these blocks were washed out, and in some instances carried nearly to the river. Bay street, from Pine to Market, is a mass of dislodged paving blocks and is im passable. Many stores were flooded, and unpaved streets havo been gullied out in many places so as to be temporarily useless. Tilt damage will reach several thousand dollars.

Many years ago, when Edison was still at Menlo Park and working night and day for fame, he devoted months to perfecting the telephone, and undoubtedly did more than any other inventor to make it practical by introducing the carbon plate Into the transmitter. While experimenting on diaphragms for the telephone, Edison had constructed a number of small sheepskin drumheads, to test their value as diaphragms as compared with metal and other substances.

The assets are estimated at between $200,000 to $300,000, and the liabilities at least $400,- 000. The heaviest creditors are in New York and San Francisco. A receiver has been appointed who will continue to publish Belford's Monthly, a magazine which the firm has been publishing for some time and which has a subscription list of over 25,000. The sheriff has taken possession of Bedford, Clarke & Co.'s place of business in this city on an attachment for $25,000 obtained by G, F. Shepard as assignee of the claim of the First National bank of Chicago. The Brooklyn branch has also been seized. Bradstreet's says that the business was statted in 1879. The house had trouble in 1880 and 1881, but came out all right both times and was extending its business largely, until a Are in 1886 somewhat crippled it, and it has since been reducing its expenses.

Boulanger was elected in Montmartre district and counted out. The fact that his election by a good majority was at first conceded by the government's representatives, and that there was considerable delay in changing the announcement to one of defeat, gives color to charges that are being freely mader to the effect that the ballots were manipulated by the government's agents. The general result of the elections shows that there was no need for the government to reeort to such desperate measures as are alleged, for Boulanger did not develop enough strength throughout the country to Beriously endanger the continued existence of the present government. kie, a Scotch print- er and dear friend Springfield, Mass., Sept. 24.—While a two ton stone was being swung into place by Norcross Brothers' workmen it struck train 49 on the New York, New Haven and Hartford just as it was crossing Main street, and crashed into one of the cars. Throe of the passengers were severely injured. Daniel Callahan, of Hartford, had two ribs broken and suffered a dislocation of the shoidder. Mrs. Abbie Callahan, his wife, had her left shoulder bruised and received a wound on the head. Kate Dannehay, of Holyoke, received a wound in the temple which resulted in a concussion of the brain. The accident could not have been avoided, the stone getting beyond control of the workmen.

But this was uncongenial, and he entered Lincoln inn as a law student. The law was dry and Wilkie Collins scribbled more than he studied, and in 1848 he ambitiously essayed a biography of his father. Ho became the warm friend of Charles Dickens and CDworked with him in the dramatisation of i4No Thoroughfare," which was adapted to tliCj stage with the aid of William Fetcber, the great melodramatic actor, and Dickeni speaks dreamily and affectionately of Collini in one of his inimitable prefaces. There was an iron safe in tho room, and in that Bernard discovered some French government bonds, equal in value to about 204,000 guilders, and about 23,000 francs in cash. Baruch had protested all along that ho was an American citizen, and that his arrest was, therefore, an outrage. His plea of being a citizen of this country played a curious part in his statement. He admitted that he had a brother who had furnished to the Austrian government army supplies, and who had been sentenced two years ago to a five-years' term of imprisonment for swindling the government. Simon took the power of attorney from his convict brother, and in that way gathered his brother's funds, flat to Paris, saw the exposition "like a lord," and then Is made only of strictly pure grape cream of tartar, strictly pure bicarbonate of soda, and a small portion of flour as a preservative, nothing' else whatever, and is warranted entirely free from alum, ammonia, phosphates, lime, and all the adulterants frequently found in liakinft powders.

His assistants soon discovered that by holding the sheepskin diaphragms in front of their mouths and emitting a guttural sound between the lips a peculiar noise approaching music could be produced. It was something similar to the alleged musio produced by covering a comb with thin paper and humming a tune on it. In passing one of the men engaged in playing on a diaphragm one day, Edison playfully attempted to stop the noise by touching the projecting metal pin with his finger; and uo sooner had he done so than he gave one of his peculiar starts. "Eh I What's that?" said he, which so astonished the performer that he dropped the diaphragm. "Do that again," said the "Wizard," and it was repeated, and again his finger touched the pin to his evident delight. He went about for some time asking one after another of hia assistants to hum or sing against the diaphragm, and finally he got them to talking against it, he all the time touching the pin lightly with his finger. "I have it," said he, finally, and he retired to his den and commenced drawing diagrams for new machinery, which his assistants speedily made, and a few days later the first phonograph was put together. It waa a crude affair, the pin malting an lmprenlon on wax, and it talked imperfectly, but it did well enough to show Edison that he was on the right track, and he rapidly Improved it until now it is very nearly perfection. A hundred men might have fslt the vibration of that pin attached to the piece of sheepskin, but It took an Edison to Instantly realise that the vibrations might be made to indent asoft substance and be susceptible of reproducing the exact sounds of the human voice that caused the different vibrations. The phonograph was regarded as a toy at first, but it sold for a million dollars recently.—New York World. Rochester People Swindled. Rochester, N. Y., Sept. 24.—A man calling himself Dr. Henry Hart and claiming to lDe engaged by Bellevue hospital, of Now York, to travel about the country to perform difficult operations upon patients too ill to be removea to the hospital, came to Rochester in June, and since his arrival, it seems, he has been busily engaged in defrauding Rochester tailors and other business men.

He wanted to pay for it in advance and succeeded in passing a check for $5CD4, which, it now turns out, is worthless, and receiving $514 in ix%urn. It is said also that the "Doctor" induced a Mr. Nash, of 52 Market street, to indorse a check for $200. On the' 13th inst. Dr. Hart left the city, saying that ho was going" to Richmond, Va., "to perform an operation." Altogether he probably got away with $1,000 of other people's money. It ig said that a reward of $500 will be offered for his arrest. Alleged Suspicious Circumstances. Pastor Goodwin Wants #10,000 Damages. Those who believe fraud was committed, however, point out thut at the time the votes for Montmartre were counted the returns had not been received from the provinces in sufficient numbers to show how matters were going. The government was alarmed at the strength shown by Boulanger in this particular district, and fearing that it indicated the general feeling of the country, they determined to at least deprive the Boulangists of the personal leadership of their Idol. It is worth noting that those who make this serious charge include not only Boulangists, but men of all shades of political opinion. North Hakover, Mass., Sept. 24.—A suit for $10,000 damages for conspiracy has been brought by Rev. T. H. Goodwin, a former pastor of the Baptist church, against John S. Brookes, postmaster and deacon of the church, and against Horace S. Crane, clerk of the church. Tho church refused to give him letters of dismissal on his resignation, owing to suspicions attending his visits to a member of his congregation. No specific charges were made, and the minister claims that it is a case of conspiracy. New York's Ilepublicau Convention. Saratoga, N. Y., Sept. 24.—The Republican state convention will meet here to-morrow. Gossip about candidates for the state ticket includes the following: For secretary of state, John I. Gilbert, of Franklin county; Charles Hansel, of Now York; for comptroller, John W. Vrooman, of Herkimer, and John H. Beck with, of Plattsburg; for treasurer, Gen. Stephen L Moffat, of Plattsburg, although his friends say he has reconsidered his desire to get on the ticket; for attorney general, James C. Dennisou,of Fulton county, now practising law in Now York; James M. Varnum, of New York; ex-Congressman John Van Voorhis, of Rochester; for state engineer, Vorplknck Colvin, of Albany; for associate judge of tho court of appeals, Haight, of Buffalo; 'Cope, of Rochester, and Landon, of Schenectady. It is recommended for purity, healthfulness and efficiency by Government and State chemists, chemists of Boards of Health, and professors in institutions of learning throughout the country.

Despite the activity of his pen, which was the most prolific since that of the author of "Robinson Crusoe," Mr. Colling was a royal entertainer at his immense bachelor's hall at Glocester, where he had sumptuous service from an "oiled and noiseless housekeeper" to the airiest and nattiest of "buttons."

Tho Austrian consul telegraphed to Austria to learn how much government money Baruch was accused of having taken. The reply was that he had embezzled 140,000 guilders from the government. Baruch can, therefore, be extradited. He Can be Extradited. The result of the election is considered as satisfactory for the government as there was any reason to hope for. Four members of the ministry are re-elected—a substantial approval of the government's general policy. New ballots are required in more than onethird of the districts, and the Republicans expect to win in a majority of these. From present indications the government will come out finally with a small but safe majority. Friday Evt'g., Sept. 27th, New aad Screamingly Funny J. C.

Cincinnati, Sept. 24.—The directors of the American Baseball association have decided that the first of the two disputed games between the St. Louis and Brooklyn clubs be given to St. Louis by a score of 4 to 2, and awarded the second game, at which the St. Louis club failed to appear, to the Brooklyn club, by a score of 9 to 0. The fine of $1,500 against the St. Louis club for failing to play this game must stand. The directors also censure the players of both clubs for their conduct in endeavoring to delay tho first game and also recommend the dismissal ol Umpire Goldsmith for incompetency. The report of the directors was afterward ratified by the association meeting. Musician* at Worcester. FIT MEN'S CLUB Worcester, Mass., Sept. 24.—The thirtysecond annual festival of the Worcester County Musical association opened with three public rehearsals, and the first concert will be given this evening.

The hotels are rapidly filling up, and between 3,000 and 4,000 people will probably be in attendance. Batavia, N. Y., Sept. 24.—Nehemiah Osborn and Joseph T. Hall, of Batavia, and Angus L. Tompkins, of Leroy, have been elected delegates to the state convention by tho Democrats of Genesee county. That two members of the delegation are from Batavia is owing to the fact that there was a fight on here against Superintendent of Insurance Maxwell, which was quelled in its incipiency by a compromise that sent Mr. Osborn as well as Mr. Maxwell's candidate, Mr. Hall.

In fact, even his bitterest rivals for fame, all of whom appear to harbor the idea that it is their daty to detract from his reputation for genius and honesty, as a rule concede that "Edison did really invent the phonograph." It is an interesting story how he came to invent it. A DESTRUCTIVE CLOUDBURST, " Henry A. Mott, M. D., Ph. D.

It has been raining hard all day, and about 5 o'clock a small black cloud was seen blowing rapidly toward the city from the southwest, 'the wind increased to almost a hurricane, and when directly over the city the cloudburst and a perfect deluge of water descended, its volume being greatest in the territory bounded by Newman, Forsytho and Laura streets and the St. John's river. In less than ton minutes the streets in this locality were flooded with water, the sewers being wholly inadequate to the task of carrying it off. The street pavement was mostly of circular Cyprus blocks, and these blocks were washed out, and in some instances carried nearly to the river. Bay street, from Pine to Market, is a mass of dislodged paving blocks and is im passable. Many stores were flooded, and unpaved streets havo been gullied out in many places so as to be temporarily useless. Tilt damage will reach several thousand dollars.

Many years ago, when Edison was still at Menlo Park and working night and day for fame, he devoted months to perfecting the telephone, and undoubtedly did more than any other inventor to make it practical by introducing the carbon plate Into the transmitter. While experimenting on diaphragms for the telephone, Edison had constructed a number of small sheepskin drumheads, to test their value as diaphragms as compared with metal and other substances.

The assets are estimated at between $200,000 to $300,000, and the liabilities at least $400,- 000. The heaviest creditors are in New York and San Francisco.

Boulanger was elected in Montmartre district and counted out. The fact that his election by a good majority was at first conceded by the government's representatives, and that there was considerable delay in changing the announcement to one of defeat, gives color to charges that are being freely mader to the effect that the ballots were manipulated by the government's agents. The general result of the elections shows that there was no need for the government to reeort to such desperate measures as are alleged, for Boulanger did not develop enough strength throughout the country to Beriously endanger the continued existence of the present government. kie, a Scotch print- er and dear friend Springfield, Mass., Sept. 24.—While a two ton stone was being swung into place by Norcross Brothers' workmen it struck train 49 on the New York, New Haven and Hartford just as it was crossing Main street, and crashed into one of the cars.

Mrs. Abbie Callahan, his wife, had her left shoulder bruised and received a wound on the head. Kate Dannehay, of Holyoke, received a wound in the temple which resulted in a concussion of the brain. The accident could not have been avoided, the stone getting beyond control of the workmen.

But this was uncongenial, and he entered Lincoln inn as a law student. The law was dry and Wilkie Collins scribbled more than he studied, and in 1848 he ambitiously essayed a biography of his father. Ho became the warm friend of Charles Dickens and CDworked with him in the dramatisation of i4No Thoroughfare," which was adapted to tliCj stage with the aid of William Fetcber, the great melodramatic actor, and Dickeni speaks dreamily and affectionately of Collini in one of his inimitable prefaces. There was an iron safe in tho room, and in that Bernard discovered some French government bonds, equal in value to about 204,000 guilders, and about 23,000 francs in cash. Baruch had protested all along that ho was an American citizen, and that his arrest was, therefore, an outrage. His plea of being a citizen of this country played a curious part in his statement. He admitted that he had a brother who had furnished to the Austrian government army supplies, and who had been sentenced two years ago to a five-years' term of imprisonment for swindling the government. Simon took the power of attorney from his convict brother, and in that way gathered his brother's funds, flat to Paris, saw the exposition "like a lord," and then Is made only of strictly pure grape cream of tartar, strictly pure bicarbonate of soda, and a small portion of flour as a preservative, nothing' else whatever, and is warranted entirely free from alum, ammonia, phosphates, lime, and all the adulterants frequently found in liakinft powders.

His assistants soon discovered that by holding the sheepskin diaphragms in front of their mouths and emitting a guttural sound between the lips a peculiar noise approaching music could be produced. It was something similar to the alleged musio produced by covering a comb with thin paper and humming a tune on it. In passing one of the men engaged in playing on a diaphragm one day, Edison playfully attempted to stop the noise by touching the projecting metal pin with his finger; and uo sooner had he done so than he gave one of his peculiar starts. "Eh I What's that?" said he, which so astonished the performer that he dropped the diaphragm. "Do that again," said the "Wizard," and it was repeated, and again his finger touched the pin to his evident delight. He went about for some time asking one after another of hia assistants to hum or sing against the diaphragm, and finally he got them to talking against it, he all the time touching the pin lightly with his finger. "I have it," said he, finally, and he retired to his den and commenced drawing diagrams for new machinery, which his assistants speedily made, and a few days later the first phonograph was put together. It waa a crude affair, the pin malting an lmprenlon on wax, and it talked imperfectly, but it did well enough to show Edison that he was on the right track, and he rapidly Improved it until now it is very nearly perfection. A hundred men might have fslt the vibration of that pin attached to the piece of sheepskin, but It took an Edison to Instantly realise that the vibrations might be made to indent asoft substance and be susceptible of reproducing the exact sounds of the human voice that caused the different vibrations. The phonograph was regarded as a toy at first, but it sold for a million dollars recently.—New York World. Rochester People Swindled. Rochester, N. Y., Sept. 24.—A man calling himself Dr. Henry Hart and claiming to lDe engaged by Bellevue hospital, of Now York, to travel about the country to perform difficult operations upon patients too ill to be removea to the hospital, came to Rochester in June, and since his arrival, it seems, he has been busily engaged in defrauding Rochester tailors and other business men.

He wanted to pay for it in advance and succeeded in passing a check for $5CD4, which, it now turns out, is worthless, and receiving $514 in ix%urn. It is said also that the "Doctor" induced a Mr. Nash, of 52 Market street, to indorse a check for $200. On the' 13th inst. Dr. Hart left the city, saying that ho was going" to Richmond, Va., "to perform an operation." Altogether he probably got away with $1,000 of other people's money. It ig said that a reward of $500 will be offered for his arrest. Alleged Suspicious Circumstances. Pastor Goodwin Wants #10,000 Damages. Those who believe fraud was committed, however, point out thut at the time the votes for Montmartre were counted the returns had not been received from the provinces in sufficient numbers to show how matters were going. The government was alarmed at the strength shown by Boulanger in this particular district, and fearing that it indicated the general feeling of the country, they determined to at least deprive the Boulangists of the personal leadership of their Idol. It is worth noting that those who make this serious charge include not only Boulangists, but men of all shades of political opinion. North Hakover, Mass., Sept. 24.—A suit for $10,000 damages for conspiracy has been brought by Rev. T. H. Goodwin, a former pastor of the Baptist church, against John S. Brookes, postmaster and deacon of the church, and against Horace S. Crane, clerk of the church. Tho church refused to give him letters of dismissal on his resignation, owing to suspicions attending his visits to a member of his congregation. No specific charges were made, and the minister claims that it is a case of conspiracy. New York's Ilepublicau Convention. Saratoga, N.

Despite the activity of his pen, which was the most prolific since that of the author of "Robinson Crusoe," Mr. Colling was a royal entertainer at his immense bachelor's hall at Glocester, where he had sumptuous service from an "oiled and noiseless housekeeper" to the airiest and nattiest of "buttons."

Tho Austrian consul telegraphed to Austria to learn how much government money Baruch was accused of having taken. The reply was that he had embezzled 140,000 guilders from the government. Baruch can, therefore, be extradited. He Can be Extradited. The result of the election is considered as satisfactory for the government as there was any reason to hope for. Four members of the ministry are re-elected—a substantial approval of the government's general policy. New ballots are required in more than onethird of the districts, and the Republicans expect to win in a majority of these. From present indications the government will come out finally with a small but safe majority. Friday Evt'g., Sept. 27th, New aad Screamingly Funny J. C.

Cincinnati, Sept. 24.—The directors of the American Baseball association have decided that the first of the two disputed games between the St. Louis and Brooklyn clubs be given to St. Louis by a score of 4 to 2, and awarded the second game, at which the St. Louis club failed to appear, to the Brooklyn club, by a score of 9 to 0. The fine of $1,500 against the St. Louis club for failing to play this game must stand. The directors also censure the players of both clubs for their conduct in endeavoring to delay tho first game and also recommend the dismissal ol Umpire Goldsmith for incompetency. The report of the directors was afterward ratified by the association meeting. Musician* at Worcester.

The horses were from the private stable of Mr. Ounther, who is now a rich and powerful man. I felt like shaking my fist at the brougham, for It flashed across my mind that only a few years ago I had refused him a hearing and returned his manuscript of "Mr. Barnes of New York," after scanning it through slightly and without giving it any consideration at all.

On an appeal from the decision of the lower court the supreme oourt of New Jersey has overruled the original decision. Judge Dixon, in delivering the opinion, held that the right of the witness to testify was denied merely because he did not believe that God would punish perjury and that he was thus deprived of a clvfl right—-that of testifying in his own behalf—while the constitution of the state provide* that no person "shall be denied the enjoyment of any clvfl right merely omunxmntof his religious prlnolplsa."

$\lVert diag(\Phi^tW\Phi) \rVert_F^2$
Is an analytical solution even exists ?
Thanks.

A: First, we need notation for some non-standard matrix products.
Let
$$\eqalign{
 A\circ B \cr A:B&={\rm tr}(A^TB)
}$$
denote the elementwise/Hadamard and inner/Frobenius product, respectively.
Next, define the matrices
$$\eqalign{
 A &= \Phi^TW\Phi \cr
 X &= {\rm Diag}(A) = I\circ A \cr\cr
}$$
Write the function in terms of these products and matrices. Then find its differential and gradient.
$$\eqalign{
 f &= X:X \cr
\cr
df
  &= 2X:dX \cr
  &= 2(I\circ A):(I\circ dA) \cr
  &= 2(I\circ A):dA \cr
  &= 2(I\circ A):(d\Phi^T\,W\Phi+\Phi^TW\,d\Phi) \cr
  &= 2(W+W^T)\Phi(I\circ A):d\Phi \cr
\cr
\frac{\partial f}{\partial\Phi}
  &= 2(W+W^T)\Phi(I\circ A) \cr
  &= 2\,(W+W^T)\,\Phi\,{\rm Diag}(\Phi^TW\Phi) \cr
\cr
}$$
