The NEGRO Ba|lniilgs,

When some seven years ago negro was
burned at Paris, Tex, the whole country
was moved by the performances and the
newspapers employed columns to describe
the awful spectacle, while comment on It
extended even to the European journals and
magazines. But within two or three years
burnipgs have become so frequent as to
draw only passing attention, says the
Springfield Republican. On Wednesday OF
last week negro was burned at the stake
in Alabama, and on Saturday another, the
SON of q well. .knoWn local colored preacher,
was burned in Georgia. And these two at.

Na1sOnis System / Success.

Communication by wireless teIegraphy was
established bettoeen the Nantucket lightship
and the Lucania, the incoming steamship Of
the Ounard line, one day last week and thus
ia effect many hours were cut from the
ocean voyage between Europe aud America.
Long before they sighted land the Lucania's
passengers were acquainted With the worlds
news of the present week.
At the Siasconsst wireless telegraph
station the instruments between FIVE and six
O'Clock recorded the signals that were being
sent out from the lightship, searching for
the Lucania. Finally, ct about six O'Clock,
it was demonstrated that the two vessels
were in communication.
To make absolutely certain, their circuit
was temporarily broken, to ask the lightship
If the Lucania had been heard from. The
answer came back that the big Ounarder
had been reached. From that time until
forty minutes after nine o'clock messages
were sent in stream from the Iucsnis.
There were occasional Interruptions for
adjustment, but in general way it may be
said that the conditions were favorable and
that communication for nearly four hours
was uubroken.
