Considering the associa tions ol his employment, it is not strangJthat he should have had an m-likc dream, though it is sur f that, instead of attempting to e his cream here, he should returned to his native Buda ,, where in 1894. a few months in hi rtftnt h him rlroam a m triii.

The elimination of the tlllai fir,aitia im 4.. flirt fnrt that this newspaper consists of a system ot telephone wires, connect ing its subscribers with its offices, over which, all day long, the usual contents of a metropolitan press are transmitted to its subscribers by word of mouth. In short, the Tele-fon-Hirmondo is the reincarnation of the old town crier." . . Mr. Howell then gave a bief his tory of the discovery of sound waves, and he continued: . "It was not until 1900 that a radio telephone, installed at Rock Point, iMd., successfully transmitted speech more than one-mile. Although from the first the radiophone has trailed behind the radiograph in develop ment, yet with a sufficiently power ful station it can now be depended upon to cover sufficiently a radius of at least 200 miles in the day time, and a much greater distance at night. So far as interference with and oy other stations is concerned, the radiophone is on about an equal footing with its competitor, . the radio telephone, as there are 150 wave lengths that can be utilized in practice, and receiving stations are as readily tuned to a particular wave in one case as in the other. While the equipment of a radiophone send ing station is both complicated and expensive, and requires expert atten tion, the technique of, a receiving set may be easily mastered, by any bright- boy Trr girl,' 'V :- r i Plans in U. S. " "It is proposed that radiophone sending stations snoum De esiau-, lished about 400 miles apart through out the country, and it is probable that their cost would be about $25; 000 each. Then cost of operating such a statiqn would probably not exceed $1,000 a month, and the addi tional expense would be that neces sary on account of collection of news and its preparation for broadcasting. Of course, if concerts and operas were to be included in the service, there would be additional expense . - . L (.n.tTAe 4r hf nrivilpcre uuc lu luc v-uoifti-a w . r - of maintaining in position the neces sary microphones or transmitters. , "Here expense to the government should end, as all who would take advantage of the news service should establish receiving stations at their own expense, the cost of which' would probably vary from $50 to $60 for an ordinary vacuum tube de tector apparatus, to twice or treble that amount, depending on the amount of amplification desired. Fight for Free Ireland. John P. Sutton, Lincoln, told of the days when Nebraska was political and financial headquarters of the Catholic-Irish fight for a republic on h Fmeralfl isle, beeinmne to bear fruit now. ; ' The Irish Land league,, which tor : years was "the brains" of American Irish influence for a free Ireland, was engineered and financed by John Fitzeerald. Nebraska's first million aire, Mr. Sutton told his audience. "Irish leaders from all parts of the world came to Lincoln in those days for orders and for money, always generously given by Mr. Fitzgerald," the speaker sam. men ne torn a numerous illus trative story of the despotism of spent a fortune so Ireland would be free. Sutton said: "The night we organized the league Fitzgerald arose and instantly put all doubt as to the election of officers out of the minds of the audience when he said: tfellow Irishmen, we are to organize a league to help free Oir land from despots. Oi will be your president and Mr. Sutton will be your secretary.' "And president and treasurer he was to the end." Sutton said. Mrs. Dan V. Stephens of Fremont told her experiences in Washington during the war.
