EARCoNI HAS NEW RIVAL.
Wireless Systez of TeleGrAphy Il
Reported to Have Been MusA
! Improved.

A new system Of wireless telegraphy,
which it is asserted is far superior
20 the Marconi system, will soon en-
able the public to send the messages as
quickly as by wire telegraph. Initial
station in New York city is in the
Chesbrough building, and on the top
of the building the apparatus for send
t1g and receiving messages have been
Installed. The system is of American
in-ention, the work of e. H. Smythe,
of 'hicago, and Lee De Forest, grad
uato of Yale university.
The system differs radically from
that of Marconi, as messages can be
sent and received as rapidly as the op-
orator can work, the speed Of 40 words
a minute having already been attained.
Distinct messages have been received
over q distance of rs miles.

THE COMING STATE FAIR.

Several counties have made larger
appropriations for their exhibits
than last year. The railroads trans
port all these exhibits to Lake City
free of charge. These two facts,
alone, make great and successful
fair certain.
Several counties in South Florida
have made liberal. appropriations.
The others must get into line. or
visitors to the fair will not know of
their existence.
The educational exhibit will be a
marked feature. 1t is in the hands
of Miss Glenn Hampton, and the
school children of the state will have
a day all to themselves, with pro-
gram including contests especially
for them.
Now that politics have cooled, let
all get to work to give Florida the
greatest fair ever held in the South,

NORWALK NOTES.

This place has been very much en-.
livened by visit from a fair young
lady from Palatka. In consequence
there has been all sorts of entertain
ments, although the thermometer
has registered from 50 to l02 degrees.
The young people have enjoyed
horseback rides, dog-cart rides, yes
and rides on top of fodder. There
has been also, a fish fry at lake De-
Lancy, there was bathing, boat rid
ing and fishing. Our guest caught
eight. There was fine dish for din
ner, besides chOwder, and such a lot
of hungry people one only sees at a
picnic.
A dance was given at Mr.. Kernan's
with games on the lawn. Mr.. Wind
gate, too, gave party one night last
week at the school house in honor OF
our guest. There was fine music
delicious refreshments, and an at
tentive host, SO the affair was grand
success.
An immense rattlesnake was found
by two laboTers one day last week
near Col. Bard's place. The reptile
was soon afterward shot and killed
by two young ladies His snakeship
measured 6 feet and had I rattles.
Our guest was sure she stepped ON
it's mate, but as she was able to re-
turn home the next morning, guess
it must have been something else.
Norwalk looks deserted now.
| heard a young man singing
And this was the refrain:
Oh! life is not worth living
If you don't come up again.
The birds they are a-singing
About upon the trees;
The cowbells are a-riging,
With very little breeze;
The fish they are awaiting
In waters to be caught,
But that don't make no difference,
For everything is naught.
Now she has gone and left me,
For nothing do care,
| think I'll go get drowned'ed,
| will | do declare
And sometimes when she sees the
stars
Assuming in the skies,
She'll wish she hadn't cast on me
Those sweet, bright gOo-goO eyes.

Corporal O'Brien Delays Presenting
Explosives which He Says
Soldiers Used.

WASHINGTON. May 21.-corporal Rich
ard O'Brieu was again on the witness
stand today when the committee on the
Philippines met. He failed to produce the
sample bullets Of which he had spoken
yesterday, intimating that they we're ex-
p~losives. He said he had sent to Massa-
chusetts for the bullets. but that they had
not yet arrived.
He was questioned in regard TO the mil
mute appearance OF the wounds which he
said had been produced by the explosive
bullets. He said that one of the old men
killed at Lanog when they were advancing
TOWARD the American soldiers with a Dag
OF truce had the entire top of his head
shot of, while the others abdomen was
split open. In the first case the bullet had
entered the abdomen and passed out Of
the mans arms, there being a smooth hole
where the bullet entered the arm and a
large one where II left.
O'Brien also admitted in response to
questions from senate Dietrich that the
firing was indiscriminate, and the two men
with the flag might have been killed by
guns In the hands OF others than the
United States soldiers.
