especially good were Albert Stuart, Will

spirit and the company as "A whole was

WIRELESS
TELEPHONES

The wireless telephone promises
20 be another wonder of the nine
zenith century. A few months back
experiments were made in Europe
with a system of wireless telephone
rom which much was expected
What has been the outcome of this
invention we are unable to say, but
i Pittsburg Yankee by the name of
Collins claims to have invented a
teiephone or wireless telegraph
which works admirably for a dis
lance Of fifteen miles and he thinks
he will be able to extend it over
hundred miles before he is through
That the people of that city think
we'll of il is shown by the fact that
hey have invested cool million i'll
the Collins Wireless Telephone
Company.
Another evidence that it has a com
mercial value is brought out by the
fact that the Fall line of steamers has
given orders that every boat on their
line shall be equipped with the wire
less telephone system.

which the Southern people passed fol
lowing the Civil War; and these
same scenes are also prophetic of an
ordeal through which they must pass
in the future, unless the affairs Of the
country are so shaped and directed

lesson TO the negro | wish The
Clansman' could be played in every
community throughout the country
for two reasons; First: 1t gives the
Northern people some idea of what
Southern white people have gone
through in the past and what they
have to contend with in the future,
and second; 1t pits the Southern
white people on guard and reminds
them forcibly of the perils which
over-hang the head of every white
woman in this fair land of ours. The
race prejudice and antagonists which
some of our conservative business
men and uniformed sentimental cler-
gymen fear, should be cultivated
rather than discouraged They are

which holds the races within their
