INVENTOR OF TELEP0ST

Has Now Received Highest Honors
For His Achievements In Rapid Te-

MANY of the prominent men Of the

paratively humble calling of the tele-
graph OPERATOR" says Leslie's Weekly
zone of the most successful OF these Is
Patrick Bernard Delany of New York
whose inventions In improving teleg
raphy have attracted worldwide atten
tlon. Born in Ireland. Mr.. Delany was
brought to this country when n lad, be
came an excellent telegraph operator AT
the age of sixteen and at eighteen was
one Of the most expert press operators
In the land. Afterward he rose to high
positions in various telegraph compa-
niles and later was associated with
Mr.. Edison in rapid telegraphy exper.
iments and began his work as an in
ventor. He devised the famous anti
Page relay for which he received n
considerable sum. and invented the
anti-lnduction cable, the patents Of
which netted him over 100000.
Turning his attention to synchro
nous multiplex telegraphy, he perfect

cults we're obtained from single
wire and was awarded for It the
highest prize at the International In
ventlons exhibition In London in 1885.
Mr.. Delany twenty-one years ago
equipped a laboratory at South Or

automatic rapid telegraphy In which
he has had great success, his appara,
tus transmitting n thousand words

garded by experts as one Of the greatest
achievements in the telegraphlc line"

DEMANDS FIRM POLICY
TOWARD SOUTH AMERICA,
Plea For the Protection Of American
Interests South Of the Caribbean.

Plea For the Protection Of American
Interests South Of the Caribbean.
"If the new temple of peace the
$75O,O00 building for the international
bureau of American republics, of which
the cornerstone was laid In April Is
not to be a memorial TO the ruin of
United States interests In a number of
these republics, our government must
establish a reputation for frmness
when these interests are attacked"
says writer I'm the Pan-American.
"With the completion of the isthmian
canal these interests, which are al.
ready estimated at a valuation Of
81, 900, 900 900, will be largely increased
A policy as just as It Is unyieldlng
when necessity requires will mean the
salvation of existing investments and
the protection of the investor of the
future.
"The fact that definite remedy is
required was impressed anew upon the
United States by the unsuccessful ef-
fort on the part of the state depart
ment to secure arbitration OF Ave long
pending American claims against Ven
ezuela.
"The merits Of these particular cases
is not, however, the question OF imme-
date Importance. This question is,
What effect must be expected from n
policy which involves the abandon,
ment Of citizens whose wrongs have
been declared to the world? If redress
is not to be exacted for these wrongs,
what fate can other despoied Ameri-
can citizens expect in Central and
South America when menaced by un.
scrupulous governments?
"The definite remedy demanded In
wolves no more than the assertion OF q
policy of insisting upon prompt and
thorough redress Of injuries. 1t would
not be difficult for the United States 10
establish such reputation for protect
ing the interests OF its citizens IN

would rarely be attacked. All the
