Before Irvfngton Athenaeum the Ven-

full, Polished, Witty Address.
FREE LANCEs OF THE WORLD
IRIsHMEN HAVE BEEN TO THE
FRONT IN GREAT ACHIEVEMENTS.
To Them, He Says, America Owes
Much That Is Best I'm Her National
Life-The Speech.

United States Senator George Frisbie
Hoar. of Massachusetts, preached the gos-
pei of pure and lofty patriotism before the
Irvington Athenaeum last night. Many,
listening raptly to the venerable states
mans address, were not, perhaps, in the
most complete harmony with particular
expressions relative to the foreign policy
of the government, but there was none un-
stirred, uninfiuenced by the grand uplift
of his words.
1.-The Celtic Element in American Citi-
zenship" was the subject of Senator Hoar's s
lecture. Devoting the first half of his
address to the influence Of New England
exerted upon the building of the North
west Territory through the early settlers,
he passed to frank. polished and witty
discussion of the virtues and weaknesses
of the free lances of the world-the Irish
Senator Hoar spoke for hour and a
half holding in grip Of steel his delighted
auditors.
The personality of the man who has
served his country and State continuously
for over a quarter of century, and who
cries out like Cato the Roman at the meresi
hint of departure from the most rigid
standards of republican government, ap-
pealed directly. His was a voice of the
past as well as the present. He recalled
directly the great men who guided the ship
of state when he himself first entered pub
lie life. About him clung the New Eng
land atmosphere an air of Emerson, Hale
Sumner Lowell-scores of others. Indi-
rectly he interested because of the uncom-
promising, at times bitter, attitude he has
lx
he was victorious over the minds and hearts
alike of those that listened because he is a
master of the art of talking to men.
Weary from the long journey of the day,
the senator gave no evidence of fatigue
He was as vigorous and virile a man
of thirty Demosthenian periods. satirica
sentences, historical relations, forceful
brilliant and polished, were lightened by
flashes of humor i'm the best style of the

Senator Hoar has at his fingers end the
history, poetry and biography of the CEN
turtles. and that he can paint from these
pigments picture to charm
He was introduced TO the four hundred
people in the college chapel by Professor
Thomas Howe. The keynote of the intro
duction was that Senator Hoar is loved by
Americans of all sections and Of all ages
because he represents the highest ideals
of citizenship and because his public life
has been undeviatingiy pure, courageou:
and purposeful. The senator spoke slowly
but so distinctly that not a syllable was
missed in any corner of the hall. His de-
livery was deliberate His points he drove
home with slow. powerful blows. He said

1t is now believed that both Senator
Money and Senator McLaurin will
succeed themselves without opposition.
An effort is being made to circulate
the report that the health Of Hon. H.
D. Money is failing and that he may
not conclude to stand for reelection,
but those who know say there is no
truth in the report and that he will
certainly stand for the place another
term. AS to our dear Anse everybody
knows that his health is good and
that there is no one else who would
seriously consider the proposition to
run against him for any office. The
McLaurin faction is about as strong as
it ever was in this state, though it
may appear a little dull just now, but
if an election was on in which any Of
the family was interested that faction
would be rubbed up to such a degree
that it would shine from the Ten
nessee line to the gulf. So our Anse
will return to the senate without any
opposition, as opposition would be use
less.

MISSISSIPPI MULES.
Eastern Counties are Paying Much
Attention to Live Stock.

AS foreshadowed in many articles
and reports in the Examiner, Missis-
sippi, and particular this section, is
forging to the front rapidly as a mule
breeding region, and while we have
practically limited the west from our
local trade, we are now competing
with it with certainty of ultimate
mastery, for the control Of the export
market, foreign and domestic.
This winter D. L. Howard and Com
pany, our leading dealers, have hand
led over hundred county bred mules,
and this represents small proportion
of home bred surplus, as the majority
were sold or traded to neighbors, or
marketed abroad without recourse to
local traders.
From the Starkville Journal we
learn that three car loads Of Oktibbeha
county bred mules have been shipped
to Helena, Shaw and Marigold, i'll
the Mississippi bottom, representing
direct sales to planters, within the last
two month, none less than fifteen
hands high to say nothing Of large
local sales.
From the Tupelo Journal we leran
that Nashville, Tenn, buyers were in
that town last week purchasing Lee
county mules for shipment to their
agents at Atlanta, Ga, and purchased
carloads at from 500 to sl25 per head.
The Journal adds: Every season
buyers from the large southern cities
are on our streets looking for fine
mules, and many have been Sold"
The above are merely pointers
from three Mississippi counties, but we
believe that many others are making
splendid progress and will be heard
from whenever their county papers
cease scolding the farmers for not
doing what they ar, doing and turn
their attention to reporting the won
derful achievements OF those enter
prising and progressive people. e.-Aber-

A NEW INVENTION.

New York, Feb. 24.-In the cur
rent issue of the Electrical Review is
described an important invention in
wireless telegraphy by Peter Cooper
Hewitt of New Yok City son Of the
late Abram S. Hewitt.
This device, which is development
of the Cooper Hewitt mercury vapor
lamp, takes the place of the usual
spark gap of discharging in the an
tenna or sending mast. 1t consists
of a glass globe eight to ten inches in
diameter, with two mercury electrodes
containing in tubes sealed in the
lower part of the globe.
The device is very effective, and it
is stated by this authority will enable
a much more powerful electrical wave
to be set up than is possible with the
methods at present in use, and will
also make secrecy in transmission
easily possible.
DR.. NJ. 1. Pupin, professor of eiec-
tro-mechanics at Columbia University,
and widely known from his invention
of the long distance telephone trans
mission, is quoted by the Electrical
Review as saying:
1.-The Cooper Hewitt mercury vapor
| at once establishes wireless telegraphy
on a commercial basis. The problem
of selective signaling is solved and
trans Atlantic transmission will be
