Notes and clippings from the daily and weekly press
— Acting Mayor McAneny of New York chose a committee of fifty to welcome the recent arrival at the South Brooklyn pier of the American-Hawaiian line steamship “Nebraskan,” the first to make the trip from Seattle to New York through the Panama Canal, completing the voyage in thirty-five days.
— Thomas Edison has perfected an invention called the telescribe, which records both sides of telephone conversation. It will be of inestimable value in establishing exactly what was agreed upon in business transactions over the telephone. The instrument will be affixed to the ordinary instrument, having phonographic records upon which every sound passing over the wire will be recorded.
