NAVY LECTURER TO VISIT RENSSELAER

Meeting Will Probably Be Held in Early January—Will Be Entirely Tree to AH.

John O’Connor wrote recently to the secretary of the Navy League of the United States suggesting that it would be very instructive and result in much good if a lecturer would be sent here for a meeting in the interest of a greater and better United States navy.. Jie received a reply under date of Dec. 7th stating that the League would be glad to furnish a lecturer, who will bring fine stereo pticon views of our great battleships and the guns with which they are manned and give a lecture absolutely free of charge. The lecture should be productive of a great amount of good, as it would familiarize our people with this necessary means of defense, and The Republican feels that our patriotic citizens will aid Mr. O’Connor is making it a great success. It is probable that the meeting will not be held until after the first of the year and readers of the papers are asked to watch for the date and to make preparation to attend, as it will prove a fine treat. It will probably be held at the opera 'house.
