 The funeral of Mir. Smith Henry, a native, was held yesterday afternoon and the burial took place on Pinnock island. Mir. Henry was ninety-five years old and had always been very industrious, and had made good use of his life among his people.
 His death resulted from general dissolution due to his advanced years and he passed away quietly without pain.
 The Hotel Conuell is being equipped with wireless telegraph. The poles were erected today on the top of the building and the instruments will be immediately installed. The United Wireless has but one operator here and he of course is compelled to sleep part of the time, though that is a question seldom considered by a telegraph corporation. When Captain Cornell gets his instrument to working he hopes to pick up all stray informa- tion which the air contains and thus we will have continuous service. It is not expected that the new station will have a receptive radius of more than five hundred miles, but the un- expected things often happen in wire- less during its experimental periods, and the public is waiting for news on the new line.
