WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
Lecture Delivered at Rosenberg L.
brary Lecture Hall, Last Night,

OdIJ Lecture T1dII' Last Nlgnt,
BY Prof. N. II. Brown.
Wireless Telegraphy" was the sub.
1ect selected for the lecture given at
the library lecture hall of the Rosen.
berg Library last night. Pref. n. H.
Brown, Of the Physics and Electrical
Engineering Departments of the State
&. and NJ. College, gave an interesting
exposition of this recent invention.
He was Introduced by Hon. John
C. Walker, who spoke of the vast
benefit of the series OF free lectures
az the library. Following this, Prof.
Brown, prefacing his remarks upon
the difficulty Ct the general subject.
Wireless Telegraphy," gave a thor
oueh technical discussion.
The lecture was lavishly illustrat
ed with drawings, showing all manner
of wave motions, and OF various kinds
of mechanism used in sending and
lures, the lecture was easily under
stood, but without them, it would be
almost meaningless-as the talk was
an explanation of the stereopticon
views.
In conclusion, Prof. Brown said
that the greatest discovery now need
ed to make wireless telegraphy al.
most a complete commercial success
is a method to make the messages
secret-to send them, knowing that
no other station. ship or city would
be able to translate them. However.
today wireless telegraphy is quite a
financial success, Notwithstanding this
difficulty. There are, he said, TWEEN.
ty-five transatlantic steamers which
publish a daily paper on ship. By the
wireless telegraph, they are never
lost to the news Of the world. lie

General Weyler's ..SIemoirs.r

4
1t Is reported from Madrid that
General Weyler, some time Govern
or-General of Cuba, has lately been
engaged in writing his memoirs
Their publication in Spanish, which
is expected soon, will no doubt be
followed by their translation into
English. Americans will thus be af-
forded further insight into charac-
ter which possess special interest
for them.
The mention of Weyler's name
sounds like an echo from a remote
past. SO rapidly do events move in
the Western world. The Spanish
American war seems as far detached
from present interest as the revolu-
tionary struggle. But in Spain nei-
ther Weyler nor the late war has
faded into the background. The gen
eral is still one of the most influen-
tial men in the kingdom. He has
held cabinet positions several times
since his recall from Cuba at the in
stance of outraged America.
AS for the war itself, it Is still
an issue with the Spanish politicians.
It's safe to assert that it has been the
subject of angry discussions in he
Cortes every year since it ended. The
republicans do not hesitate to taunt
the government with the response
bility for Colonial disasters" The
question is liable to arise in some
form or other whenever the discus
sion touches the army or the navy,
or one of the generals, who them
selves constitute something of a po-
litical force in the kingdom. 1t will
be long time before the late war
becomes simply history" with the
|Spaniards.
lFor these reasons General Wey-
|aer's memoirs will be eagerly read in
our own country. His fellow coun-
trymen will have sense Of the pre-
ent interest and Importance Of what
he relates concerning his rule n
Cuba in particular. With us the in
terest will be of another sort-dn
the man and not in the story. Gen.
Weyner was roundly denounced in
this country for his reorganization
methods in Cuba. Butcher" and
Other eplthetS were freely applied TO
him. The occasion certainly seemed
to justify all that was said. But
most people realized even at the time
that there was probably another side
to the man, possibly an interesting
side, and that the word butcher"
was not a complete definition.
These memoirs will probably go
far to humanize a character which
still stands, in the estimation of the
average man, on a par almost with
that of Caligula and other masters
of cruelty. They will probably show
that General WeyQer was entirely
convinced of the justice Of the meth
DDS employed to suppress the Cuban
insurrection; that he sincerely be-
lieved he was performing duty
owed to his country. 1t goes without
saying that nothing can ever make
the American people regard him with
admiration. But proper appreci-
alton of his point of view may at
least pave the way for more chart
table judgment.-Inter Ocean.

Much Work for Assessment Board.

Much WORK 1Or Assessment bO0fU.
Pierre, July 21.-Nhe state board
Of assessment will have a great deal
of work to do this year on telephone
assessments, as the number of COM
panies to be valued have increased
largely since last year. The law re-
quires all companies to make a re-
port Of valuations and business
prior to the last Monday In July,
when the board meets to assess such
property, and provides a penalty Of
Is per cent in the assessment value
of such companies as fail to make
this report. The companies are slow
in getting the reports in, and unless
some OF them get busy they will find
themselves up against the increase
in valuations. This class of prop
,erty will take up the time of the
board for full week and the
assessment will probably be con-
Isiderably in excess Of that OF last
year, when telephone property OF
the state was valued for assessment
at $s51,694.

Harmony Mt Mitchell.


The South Dakota Republican
state convention smashed the har-5
mony record established by the late
republican state convention in Iowa.
The Waterloo convention was har-
monious In every thing but. the re-
ception accorded one speaker. The
Mitchell convention was harmonious
in everything. Possibly the Mitchell
improvement on the Iowa record was
due to the wisdom of the conven-
ton in deciding to cut out all
speeches. Both conventions followed
red hot primary contests in which
factional feeling established new
high records.
The Mitchell example OF harmony
is the more remarkable because
there really was a plausible pretext
upon which the fight might have
been renewed. Its renewal would
have been foolish in the extreme.

things. Death had caused a vacan-
