A more thrilling adventure has
seldom been recorded. It is full of
remarkable features. There are al
ways hundreds of people on the
beach at Coney Island, many of them
with glasses. 1t is extraordinary
that none of them noticed q man and
woman floating out to sea, and after
ward navigating the ocean on a log.
Shipwrecked men have sometimes
supported themselves for quite a
while in the water by the help of q
stick of timber. Womens strength
is fairly equal to such q task. Miss
Eva must be q very robust young
woman, indeed, to have hung on to
such a support for four hours. Nor
does it often occur that a sea-going
vessel will interrupt voyage for the
purpose of landing two penniless cast
Always on passing shore. Most cap
tains would have deemed their duty
fulfilled by carrying the shipwrecked
pair to Yucatan, especially as Miss
Eva wore a ruby ring and a diamond
ring, and did not propose to part with
either.
Down in Florida they are skeptical
about the story. A car-conductor
AYERS that the pair boarded his train
at New Orleans, and travelled in it to
Jacksonville. The main trouble with
the story is the appearance of the
| young woman in the case. Sailors
have not unfrequently been ship
| wrecked, rescued by passing vessels,
carried to strange ports, and detained
long periods by stress of circum-
stances or accident; but it is pretty
safe to say that there never was a
case before in which young woman
navigated the Atlantic on log and
finally regained terra firma at point
| two thousand miles from the locality
of her departments. F. Call.

The train will leave Washington on Monday

route will be over the picturesque Northwest

Not Fair to the Boys.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star;
Allow me to say a word..as to what strikes me
as an instance of gross and coarse disrespect to
the young gentlemen graduates at the High
School commencement. Good attention was
given while the diplomas were being given to
the young ladies, but when the boys began fl
ing before Commissioner Ross large proper
ton of the audience began to rise from their
seats and leave the building. Undoubtedly
these had seen their own friends honored and
the subsequent proceedings interested them
no more but what must have been the feel
ings of the young men, after having worked SO
faithfully for years and looking forward 80
fondly to this supreme moment. to see the utter
indifference Of those whom they had 80 hand
somely entertained? 1t seems to me the
thought should have come to all, as it did to me,
what if my boy were thus treated2" Common
decency, if no other motive. should have
kept each auditor in that vast concourse fast
in his or her seat until the last graduate had
left the stage. and no graduate should have
been made to feel that the presentation of his
diploma of less interest to the friends of
the school than any other feature Of the pro-
gram. PARENT.

George Hawkins, young colored man. was
foolish enough to believe that he could enter
the agricultural grounds. pick a bunch of mag
nolias and get away with them. but Richard II.
Cook, the Waterman, was on the lookout Just
as Hawkins had punched the blossoms and
started of. The Waterman placed him under
arrest and relieved him of the flowers He was
locked up and detained until this morning
when he was taken to the Police Court. A
charge Of trespass was preferred against him
and he plead guilty. His counsel stated that
this was the FIRST time that Hawkins had been
arrested.
Judge Miller imposed fine Of IS and said
that the next person caught would be fined four
times that amount.
