EDUCATING YOUNG ISLANDERS
Society DoinE Good Work Among the
Cubans and Porto
Ricnns.

NEW YORK, May 1S.-More than fifty
young Cubans and Porto Ricans have been
brought to this country by the Cuban Edu-
cational association within the last two
months and allotted to educational institu-
tons that have agreed to give them a
thorough education. This association was
organized at the suggestion of Major Gen
eral Joseph Wheeler, who is the president,
According to Gilbert X. Harrouck, the sere-
tary of the association, its work has been
marvelously successful. More than 800 edu-
~cational institutions offered their hearty
support to the organization, with free tuition
and free scholarships. In addition to those
who are already studying at the various col
leges to which they were allotted the asso-
citation expects to have at least 1000 young
Cubans and Porto Ricans placed among the
colleges and schools by November /.
Only young men of good moral character
and some attachments who are vouched for
by reputable men in Cuba and Porto Rico
are taken. A large number of the applicants
exhibit intelligence to a marked degree, but
are deficient in the English language, be-
sides having little money. To meet this
emergency the association has suggested that
in each city or town which has an institu-
ton willing to receive an applicant a COM
mittee be formed to stand sponsor for the
young man and defray all incidental eX-
penses incurred during his course of study.
Other contribution will be received by the
officers of the association.
Only those provided for to the extent Of
$3.50 by their parents or some philanthropic
person are given scholarships.

cided that Senator Mcmillan will be a cam

senator. According to the expressions of
some of those who were in the conference
the senator and his friends do not appre-
bend that Secretary Ayers candidacy for
the senatorship will develop into anything
formidable. Among those present We're
Senator Burrows and several congressman
and eX-congresSmen.

FOR FALSE REPRESENTATIONS
Arrest of Mrs. w. n. KinsIey and
Three other Persons Concerned
in u Transaction.

A new twist of an old way of making a
living has developed for investigation by the
police. 1t resulted in the arrest of four
Omaha persons.
Mrs. w. N. Kinsley had been working for
Mrs. Mitchell, keeper of a restaurant in Fort
Crook. 1t was her custom to go to South
Omaha and order a supply of groceries for
Mrs. Mitchell, for which the latter paid.
Wednesday afternoon she went to Curtis
grocery store at Twenty-second and n
streets and ordered about $40 worth of
goods. Christianson & Co., on n street,
contributed about SIS worth of cigars, cigar
rettes and tobacco. All these were brought
over to Omaha and disposed of by w. N.
Kinsley, husband of the woman who secured
them in South Omaha. Kinsley took the
cigars and cigarettes to Joe Epps' saloon at
1907 Douglas street and sold them to Dave
Hill, stepson of Epps, for s1.75. He claims
he told Hill they had been obtained dishon-
estly, but that made no difference, as he
took the cigars just the same.
When the South Omaha merchants discoy-
cred that they had been defrauded they sent
word to the Omaha police. Detectives Hud-
son and Heelan found Mrs. Kinsley at her
home, Thirteenth and Howard streets, and
arrested her. Kinsley was picked up later.
He told the officers of the goods at the Epps
place and they went there to get them.
After the recovery of these Dave Hill went
to the station to see what the authorities
had Kinsley for. He was locked up himself
and later Joe Epps was landed in the station.
An effort will be made to prosecute all
the persons arrested. Mrs. Kinsley will be
charged with obtaining goods by false repre-
sentation. Her husband will be made an
accessory If possible. 1t was thought that
"a connInint nf rppaivinO Stplan mood, ,,or1a
lay against Epps and Hill, but the county
attorney held differently. The men will be
held for a time, however, to see If a charge
cannot be made against them

WHEELING, w. Va, May 1S.-one of the
most peculiar strikes probably ever con-
tested in the United States has been in
progress for five weeks on the Wheeling
street railway lines. The remarkable fea-

support of the strikers by the population OF
Wheeling and the surrounding towns. All
the cars are in operation, but not over five
persons ride on the entire system during
the day. Bus lines run by the strikers are

Topeka, May 1S.-Ex-United States
Senator w. A. PETER, one of the founders
of the populist party, and who was for
years considered as the chief exponent of
populism, has returned to the republican

organization of the old alliance contributed
to the change in the political attitude of
Senator PETER.

An inventor by the name OF Hutchinson
has succeeded, so it is asserted, says Elec-
tricity, in d~evising an instrument which he
calls the akoulallion, and by means of which
persons who have been deaf and dumb from
birth are enabled not only to hear, but are
taught to articulate letters, syllables, words
and even sentences. The instrument by
means of which these striking results are
obtained consists of two rubber ear pieces
held together by means of a spring, much
resembling In appearance the headgear made
use of by central telephone exchange OPP
orators, and a metal breastplate, on which Is
fixed, Just in front of the mouth of the
wearer, a apparently quite SINH
lar to the type found on many telephones.
This transmitter, which is made of hard
rubber, is so pivoted that it may be turned
in any desired direction, or in other words,
toward the source Of any sound which 1t is
desired to hear. The current for operating
the akoulallion is derived from ten battery
cells, a switch located on the breastplate
permitting the wearer to cut the apparatus
in or out of circuit at will. Another switch
is also provided for controlling the amount
of current passing through the circuit and
consequently the intensity of the sound pro-
duced. The wiring and switches are further
more so arranged that If it is found that
one ear of a mute is more sensitive than the
other, the volume of sound can be adjusted
accordingly. At a public test of the instru-
ment which recently took place at Mobile,
Ala, two deaf mutes are said to have been
able to hear the playing of a piano at a dis
lance of fifty to sixty feet. The object of
the invention, however, as we understand
1t, is not only to enable the deaf to hear,
but to teach them to articulate voice sound.

Of even intelligent folks in regard TO the
simplest electrical terms. To most people
the electrical units are still mere Greek, and
comparatively few 60 to the trouble to take
hold Of the more common Of them. such as
volt 'ampere,' resistance e~lectro-motive
force etc, and Ak their meaning, once for
all, in the mind. A man who knows me only
by reputation wrote to me the other day
that he had done this with much satiefac-
tion to himself, as he has now a far more
intelligent idea Of electrical doings than he
had before. But still, he said, from time to
time some electrical words creep into the
daily press which conveyed nothing to him.
He mentioned as one of them the term
watt hour Now, this is quite simple. The
watt is the unit Of electric power. 1t means
the power developed when 44.25 foot pounds
Of work are done per minute, or 1876 foot
pounds per second. A foot pound Is the
amount Of work required 20 raise one pound
vertically through a distance Of one foot.
When this is figured down so as to be de-
fined in horse power which is understood
by every one, II can offer no difficulty, and
If anyone to whom the word watt is puz-
cling will remember that a watt Is the
1-746th Of a horse power he will have no
more uncertainty about it. Having got so
far, it is an easy graduation to the watt
hour which is the term employed to indi-
cate the expenditure of an electrical power
Of one watt for an hour. In other words,
the energy represented by a watt hour is
equal to that expended in raising a pound
to a height of 1854 feet. An even easier
way of fixing 1t Is to remember that two
watt hours correspond almost exactly to
raising a pound to a height of one mile. The
understanding Of such terms opens out some
very curious facts to the uninitiated. For
instance, a certain dry battery, weighing
6.3S pounds, was known to yield 1870 watt
hours. If this force were applied to raising
the battery itself 1t would lift it to a height
OF over ten miles. Again, in one hour the
energy translated in an ordinary sixteen
candle power lamp weighing about an ounce
would raise that lamp to a height of 400
miles at a velocity of nearly seven miles
per minute. Yes, 1t pays a man to expend
a little pains on mastering the ordinary
electrical terms
