In speaking of his invention Mr. t u bblelield said: T know that I have .solvwd the rohletn of wireless telephony, and I will now devote myself to perfecting my apparatus. 1 want it to he per fect when ;ivtn ti the puhlic, and it is w desire that it shall not appear with defects for the scientific journals to pick to pieces. With iny device it will he possibleto communicate with hundreds of homes at the same time. siii'de message can be sent from a - r- central station to all iiarts of the I'liiti'tl States.

The possibilities of the invention seem to oe practicanv unlimited, and it will be no more than i matter of time when conversation over loui" distances between tin' great cities of the country will b carried on daily without wires. I intend to continue at work on my device ami think that I will oet other startling results in a short time." Stubbleliehl does not intimate at what time he will give out the dia grams of his apparatus. Ilis work shop is in his home, wkich is located on a farm several miles from Murray and all his preliminary experiments have been carried on with great secreov on account oi me comparanx e isolation of the place, lie is ipiite as proud of the part which his boy has played in working on his apparatus as he is of the success of his public exhibition. He speaks entertainingly on the question of his invention and its possibilities. l'rof. M. L. Pence, who has the seat of physics at the Kentucky State Col lege, and whose theory as to why the earth is a magnet created a sensation in the scientitic world some months ago, was seen in regard to the Stub blelield experiments, which seem to have a bearing on his theory. He said : 'I certainly regard wireless tele phony as possible just as much so as wireless telegraphy. In ordinary telephony no sound passes over the wire. Nothing hut electric energy is transmitted. Now, instead of using a wire, the ether may he used, and the energy maybe transmitted in the form of ether waves. The ether is the reit vehicle for the transmission of energy. This medium tills all I snace i n t i-rtl a ii rr ntl i n t orm ttte- ular. I further believe that this same ether is electricity and that all the electrical phenomena are due to the same disturbance of the ether. The ether is easily thrown into vibrtaion. resulting in ether waves. There is an immense variety of these waves ranging from those whose lengths are only a few millionth of an inch to those whose lengths are hundreds of miles. Some of these waves affect i tie eye and are called light waves: some transmit heat energy. They are all electro-magnetic waves and all travel with immense velocity. 'The manner in which these waves transmit energy may be illustrated in this way: Suppose the pebbles on the shore of a pond of water are set j in motion. This motion will disturb the water, cause waves to run across j t be pond, and, strikinir the pebbles i on trie farther saore, will put them in motion, the effect thus being like the caue. in a similar way the intcrmo- leeular vibration of the sun is t rail S- m tted to tic earth through the agency of oth-r waves ami causes in termociilar vibral ion her'. Now, we :id e t his same principle in wireless telegraphy. At the transmitting sta tion an electric, current is made to oscillate under very high voltage or pleasure, aero a spark ;ap ami with i enormous f rrrj uency of vibration. The j ether is violently disturbed at this! U'ip and waves -o out in every direc-! lion.

I do not know fulfv just what Stuhbltdield h--t accomplished, but tho probabili ties are that, someone will tbvelop a system of wireless tel phonv that can be used for practical Klectricians here probleni "' further purposes. v 'I isoussinij the into the matter than Stubbleliehl has for publication and say that a in wireless telegraphy the receiving and sending instrument will probably have to be tuned elec trically to one another and that by this means a wireless telephone com munication mi.dit be had without fear of other people tppiJ the wire less line. Stubbleliehl thinks that a transmitter for lone; distance will not have t be of larjxe size, and in that event European ami Ameriecn houses with properly tuned instruments, could hold daily conversations over wireless insttunients no more cum bersome to the oliice than the lirst lone- distance telephone boxes.

THE CASE OF THE GOLD LEAF AGAINST THE ROYAL BAKING POWDER COMPANY. Convinced That We Were Wrong Apology is Made In Justice to Oureslf, However, Explanations are Necessary, For the Length of Which Further Apology is Due to ' -ur Readers. In justice to both sides we have promised to riv the facts in the ease at issue lietween the Royal Baking Powder Company and the (5oli Lkaf. To do so it will be necessary to io somewhat into details, and as the subject will lw disihissed witli this we mnv be permitted to do so. The Royal Raking Powder Company had a contract with this paper for publishing i : inch advertisement, iii -preferred jiosition. for 12 months, Said contract expired in December, ISO'.). They wanted to renew at a do- i - re. - isotl lil ico We derlineil to do sui ftt.f i-inisiiloi olilo ori-i.iiitl..iu. tht matter was finally dropped. Then the publication of a series of IS double column electrotypes aroreatiiii- .U2 inches space new business altogether was taken up after the lapse of several mouths. A rate of little more than b;i If w b;i t we osked wos offered. Mini M 1 hey came to our hrures. Finally, under date of May 7. llMto. the Royal Baking Powder Company wrote asking that we "kindly consider advertising proposition as amended s as to read 2." for the use of .'12 inches as required." etc., formal order f r the publication of 1 tS secial ads. b.iing- enclosetl. Ilavino- agreed on tin5 price we wrote on May 1). 1 '.MM). sayinr: '-Your f.'LVor of 7th. in renlv to mine of Aoril i2!th. at. hnnd. Amundetl offer for :Jli inches space, additional space to be charged at pro rata, is accepted. Let the plutes be sent forward and the work will be commenced at once." Aftf,r tJlis lotter was wiittn, but before it was placed in an envelope, ,.OS(.,. rofrreii.-e to the formal order revealed down near the bottom of the sM.,,r ilH interlined typewritten clause which read: ' 1 "All are to pro in jiosition as provided for by annual contract." This put a different phase upon the matter altoo-ether. The small single column ad. called for preferred position top of column, next to reading matt or. apart from other advertising.-, on a designated page. Wo could not handle this business in the form offered (double column elei ti otypes ranging from () to 12 inches in length) that way. We thereupon wrote this: "Your favor of 7th, in reply to mine of April 2Sth. at hand. Amended offer if 2o for .'112 inches space, additional space to be chtirged at pro rata, is accepted as far as the price is concerned, but I cannot handle this business in the form offered in position occupied by the small ad. The best I can do is top of column next to reading-matter on a good page. If this is satisfactory let the plates be sent forward and the work will be commenced at once; otherwise the deal will be declared off."' This letter Ave intended to send the Royal Baking- Powder Company in stead of the other one; and this we wore under the impression we had done. Rut it appears that we did not. The Royal Raking" Powder people say they never received any such letter, but did receive the one accepting; the business unconditionally. We -cannot dispute this and can account for it only on the supposition that after writing the second letter saying- what we could do ami what we could not do about the matter of position, we must have mailed the wrong- one. Nor were we advised of such mistake until very recently. In all our correspondence and contention about t his matter the Royal Raking Powder Company never one time said they held such a letter from us agreeing- to do a specific thing- which w disclaimed having-done. Had they done so this would have settled the whole business, for whether my contract had been signed or not the letter they got (alt hough by mis take on our part) served the same purpose and was as binding as any other form of agreement. The electrotypes came and the work was proceeded with. Complaint was made that the work was not being done according to contract. We re plied that they had no contract calling for any jiosition other than that given; the work was being done as we had agreed to do it, quoting the lan-g-uage of our letter (receipt of which was not denied); the position given was the best we could do, and if the service was not satisfactory we would cancel the contract and discontinue the business. They did not want the advertis ing annulled, they said, but insisted upon its being done in accordance with agreement. This we were doing- as we thought and repeatedly so stated. When the work was completed payment was refused on the ground that it had not been done according" to contract display advertising; immediately following 7 of the LS electrotypes and demand was made that these be made good. This we denied and refused to do our contention being- that they had no contract with us to this effect, again quoting" the language of our letter. Even then receipt of such letter was not denied by them, nor was anything- said about the nature of the one they did receive. And right here we charge that the Royal Raking Powder Company did not act entirely fair with us or just to themselves. A copy of our lettT in their possession would have been all sufficient. After considerable correspondence had passed lotwoon us without satis factory results, we conceived the idea of having" some amusement at the ex pense of th Royal Raking- Powder Company, and at the same time score a point in our own favor. Taking" one which read; "Does l our Raking; Powder ( ontain Alum: was cut off and immediately under it in large letters running; across two columns, the width of the cut, we put these words: "Royal Raking Powder Does, r" and then in small type following: "Not (according; to the claims of the manufacturers), hut a concern that will beat a newspaper out ot an honest ad vert ism r ac count ciHtld not get a certificate from us," &r. The regular edit ion of the paper having been run off the press was stopped one of the forms taken off, and this was hv t he Koval Raking Powder advertisements. 1 he lorm was put hack on the press and three or four copies of the paper with this advertisement print ed one to send to the Royal Raking; Powder Company and the others for our files. Not hearing; from them m the mean time the next week the sn la thing was done, part of another cut being; used and the wording- different. We had no wish to do injury to hence t he ad. was not run t hrougli the that they would kick, when we would make the point that this occupied the identicalposition that their advertising did. and if that had done them no good by t lie same reasoning this could no them no harm: and if t hey had re ceived lienefit from their advertising certainly as honest people they could not refuse to pay for it. Rut the joke didn't work as we had anticipated. That is to say instead of writing to us they sent a lawyer to see us. The matter was explained but we contended that the Royal Raking Powder Company had not treated us. right that they had lieat us out of honest advertising account and for the lienefit of others we intended to say so. A paragraph to this efvvt was printed in the next, issue. Doing that we proposed to let the matter end. Then came intimations of a lil"l suit, When the rase assumed this phase things 1-eg-an to get interesting. And to make it still more so their representative was politely informed that while we had not intended to pur sue the matter further, then, however, we would say that the Gold Lkak was printed o2 times a year. ami. although possessing- no great versatility, we could give the Royal Raking Powder Company "top of column, mxt to read ing matter" and furnish change of copy every week lor 12 months, or 12 times 12 months, and if they-wanted to jump us with a lilel suit let them crack theirwhip. Nor would there be any stopping of the press and lifting of matter for "s -trial editions."" but they would have the benefit of the whole edition, together with the advantage of choice jiosition in editorial column. And that is how we came to give t h Royal linking Powder Company the amount of "free ail vert ising" we ha ve. And having iu.nl" this promise we kept it. refusing all offers of a "coinpromisi'." Ami but for this perhaps we would never ha; known any I tetter t ban what we honestly lielieved and stoutly contended was right, In reply to enquiry about the trouble ln-nvteti the Royal Raking Powder Company and the ( loLii Lkaf. mate by the Dunmuir (C.-d. Sews, a little while hack, they said: "We have noticed the free advertising which the tioi.n Lkaf. of Henderson, N.C. has been g.iving us. That paper seems to delight to run a slanderous paragraph each issue, and. since you have referred to the matter, it is well that you sliould know this is published lecause we have refused to submit to an extortion which the publisher has endeavored to work upon us. He contracted with us to do a certain thing. He declined to do it. He knew at the time he was not carrying out his con tract, but demanded payment in full. This company can neither be brow beaten or bulldozed," etc. This letter was sent to us. and. quoting the above, we wrote the Roy a Raking Powder Company as follows: "I deny that I have attempted to work suen statement as atmoiutery ana unquaiinetm iai.e. 1 "I deny that anv such contract existed between us a.s you claim, or that there was any agreement to do the work in a "I deny that I contracted to do anything that I dul not do in both letter and spirit. The work was performed in perfect good faith on mv part as, I agreed to do it, and in demanding payment in full I asked fur nothing bat what I was justly and honestly entitled to. " "I deny that I have attempted to brow heat or bulldoze vou. and if I have seemed to impress you that way you are alone responsible for it. On the contrary, am the object upon which you attempted to play that game. But for your sending a lawwr to see me with intimations of libel suits and the like yon would not have been given the amount of 'free advertising' you have. I had said this paper was beax- out of honest advertising account closed with that. But when the case assumed the "phase above mentioned vour ren- rPBentativewae politely informv1 that while I had not intended to pursue th matter loiM't b v et irresiioiiiliMieo ft dh iwotl liofovo (-'-.: I of their electrotypes the top part of put in the identicalposition occupied the Royal Ra king .Powder Company, regular edition. ( Mir expectation was an extortion upon you. and denounce manner other than the service rendered. j bv you and purposed to let the incident be further, then, however. I would say that the Goi.i Leak was printed o2 times n year, and I could give the I'oyal Baking PowderCompany 'top of column, next to reading matter' and furnish change of copy every week for 12 months, or 12 times 12 months, and if they wanted to jump me w ith a libel suit let them crack their whip. Nor would there be any stopping of the press and lifting- matter for 'special editions,' (you will understand this reference) but they should have full In-nefit of the whole edition, together with the advantage of choice position in editorial column. And i have tried to keep my promise in this as in all other things. "You say this 'paper seems to delight to run a slanderous paragraph each issue" about you. I deny the accusation. T have said the Royal Raking Powder Company beat the (ioui Leak out of an honest advertising account. That is the truth. And the truth id not glanderous. On the other hand; 1 charge thatyouhave uttered a libel against we when you say I have published slanderous paruKraohs about you; that I have endeavored to work an extortion upon voir, atid that I have attempted to brow lieat and bull doze you into paying me in full when 1 was not carrying out my contract with you. i challenge you to prove this or as honest people you must ivtract it. "In yourletter of Oetolier l'J, 1 1)00. you write: 'Certainly you cannot establish a contract through any letter which you may have sent us. ion must find, some where, in our correspondence, authority for running the ads. in the wav in which you did before you can state that vour claim is justly due.' No, I cannot Hud any such authority coming from vou.nor have I ever claimed it. Yet, in view of what I wrote you that I could do and could not do as to the question of posi tion, and the fact that you sent the elec trotypes to me on the strength of that letter, I cannot for the life of me see how you can take the position you do in this matter. While I have no written author ity from you permitting the publication of your advertisements as they were (fol lowed immediately by other display ad vertising) you have no contract from me covering this business which calls for the position you claim. "It is well to say right here that the insertions which were satisfactory to you were not given because I did not think the other position was according to con tract, but the electrotypes were changed from one place to another only to ac commodate space and suit my own con venience in making up the paper. "You seem to be unable to get aw ay from the idea that in pome way this busi ness is related to the old contract for the 3 inch ad. and persist in the contention that the conditionsunder which that was run apply also to this. But that is not the fact, and whatever you may have had in mind or intended at the time of this transaction has nothing to do with" it whatever. "If you can produce a contract signed by me which in any way. touches or re lates to the manner in which the .'112 inches of advertisements were to be run, asfar as pageand position are concerned, I will beg your pardon most abjectly, make public apology for the injustice done you, and agree to reprint the entire series of electrotypes, or their equivalent in space, without one cent of cost to you. 'It is up to you,' gentlemen, to produce your contract. Certainly you must ba able to find, somewhere, in my communi cations, authority for the contentions, you set up before you can claim that my account is not justly due to ay nothing about charging me with being all kinds of a rascal in the reckless and random manner you have.

In reply to this the Royal Raking Powder Company wrote under date of .January 2-, 11)02. saying that they did not receive any letter from us stating that top of column, next to reading- niafter on a good page was the best we could do. and if this was not sat isfact ory t hi- deal might be declared off. The only letter they received was the one unqualifiedly ac cepting their terms and ordering- the electros, quoting this letter.

Bev. J. Win. Jones in Orphans' Friend. Among the things for which it is peculiarly appropriate that the boys of the Orphanage should thank (Jo'd, is that they are born American bora, and maj inspire to the highest honors which this great country can bestow. An American boy, and" especially a Southern boy, has a heritage of glory for which we should thank (Jod, and a. heritage of principle which we should never forget. But I restrain my pen from enter ing that wide field, 'and contine it to the single point that there is no jiosi tion of honor, protit, emolument or trust, which we may not hope to reach and for the privilege of which he can never suthciently thank (Jod. He may strive to be merchant prince, railroad manager, millionaire, college professor, jurist, general, great preacher, Congressman, t inted States Senator, or President of the United States. John 1). Rockefeller, the multi-mil- liouaire who is giving his millions to the cause of education, benevolence, and religion, began his career a pen niless orphan boy, so poor that he was glaa to-get a job of carrying rock from place to place on the streets of a citv. Charles Broadway Rouss, one of the greatest of New York merchants, who did so much to help his native Southland, began his career in Win chester, Va., as an errand boy, and after serving gallantly as a Confeder ate soldier, reached New York with only fifty cents in his pocket, and went to work as a porter in a store. And many of the merchant princes, great bankers, and other millionaires of the country had no better advan tages when they began their caieer. Two barefooted orphan boys named John and Sam Miller lived in the "Ragged Mountains'" not far from the University of Virginia and were ac customed to" go there to sell berries, chestnuts and apples to the students. One day John Miller said to his brother: "Sam, you and I can never go to this University. It is too high for us and such boys as we are. But I will tell you what we can do. Let us go to work, make money, ami es tablish a school to which the poor boys of Albemarle county can go." They kept this purpose steadily in view and were very successful in busiuess. Besides establishing an or phanage at Lynclfburg, and making other handsome legacies, they left money with which to establish the "Miller Manual Labor School," which iu twenty years has spent over two million dollars in its beautiful grounds, buildings, shops, machinery and laboratories, and in supporting the school, and still has an invested fund which yields an annuity of f 75, Oao. This enables the school lo take every year about 30'J children whom they feed, clothe, educate, and train for future usefulness and suc cess. Abraham Lincoln was one of the poorest and seemingly most unprom ising boys of his day, but by force of native intellect and indomitable will, pluck and courage, (whatever we may think of his principles and character) he rose lo be President of the United States. Andrew Jackson was a very poor boy, and seemed to have no future before him, when his parents moved from North Carolina, his na tive State, to Tennessee, but he be came "the hero of New Orleans" and President of the United States, and none doubt now that "Old Hickory" was one of the great men of his times. Andrew Johnson also, was a native of North Carolina, and migrated to Tennessee as poor as he could be. In an address at the university of North Carolina some years ago he said that on his journey to Tennessee he passed through Chapel Hill without a nickle iu his pocket, and with but little hope before him." I was in Oreen vilie. Ten ii., upon one occasion ami saw a sign still hangieg on an old house there which read "Andrew Johnson, Tailor." And yet this man man became United States Senator, President of this great country, and however we may despise his prin ciples ami certain traits of his char acter, we mtikt admire his genius, perseverance and success. Roger Sherman rose from hi shoe maker bench lo become one of the great leaders of his dav, ami when on the tlotrr of the Senate, a dis ed member twitted him with . famous satire -Ix-t the fchoemaker stick to his last." Sherman at once retorted: "If the distinguished gentle- man nao oeen a snoemaKer ne cer tainly would have stuck to hid last for be would not hare had either talent or entrj to ztl beyond it." Presidents arheid ami Cievtland came up from the rnases ana many more of our leader. were joor boys. orphan boy. but he adopted as his motto at the Military Academy at West Point: "I can do'whate?er I un- dertake."' and after he became an humble Christian, changed this to: -I can do all things through Christ wnicn sirengiDenem me, inu iuui , became the world famous "Stonewall j Jackson.'1 and wrote bis name among . the inimortali.
