NEWS THAT WASN'T NEWS.
The Evening World" Knew How
Not to Print nm EXTRA" GF

There are times when It Is as i,a-
portant to know how not to get out an
extra edition of a live newspaper as to
know how to do 1t. This morning was
one o those times. "The Evening
World' is first OF all newspaper;
and II had at least as early US any
other paper In New York City the al
legged news CT Il terrible aCciuent to un
excursion train IN British Columbia.

Such report being true, there Wa
be gotten into type concerning the
event.
But was 1t true? That was the point
to be established, and the despatch WAS

Thing to print the list of names which
had come over the wire, and carry, TO
headlines the declaration that all who
were named below had perished. Then
the report said there were forty DEAD.
The excursion party numbered only
twenty-three, besides the manager and
train crew, ut the start. -
Doubling was not all there was TO 90,

everything was on hand for u COM

That confirmation never came. And

A LIBRARY PARTY.

The novel idea OF party. at which
every guest Is required to come repre-

of widespread adoption. Perhaps the
best way to make this kind OF entertain

opened for a week.

viously reported Is due to a cloudburst
In the vicinity of Lytton. The burst
swept the railroad for nine miles. from
the sawmill fats to Lytton. where the
approaches to the Government Suspen-
sion Bridge, on the old Cariboo road
were carried away. The waters also
swept away the iron bridge ut Ashcroft
and the Canadian Pacific Railroad bridge
near Spencer Station. The water tore
down the mountain gorge with incredi-
BILE velocity, and sent the river leaping
over Its banks In boiling and seething
current.
This great volume OF water Is yet to

MOUNTAIN CLIMBING.
The Sort Of Getting Up n Hill which
Calls for Lots of Nerve.

A short walk along the crest OF the
ridge leads us TO the first OF the two
crags which form the summit, and the
next step is a gymnastic performance
in which some caution Is advisable, says
Scribners Magazine.
This first peak runs up into a narrow
wedge OF rock crowned by thin,
pointed slabs like stone fence or like
gravestones, slanting outward. and over
hanging the perpendicular wall on the
Zcrmatt side, which seemed so grand
and Impressive when we looked up at
IL from the snow arete below.
Around and under these leaning slabs

sure Ike the gutter along n housetop,
huggng the grave stones which hans
over US, and leaning backward until we
overhang the abyss. some three thou
sand feet below.
II is easy however. to shift our hold
from one slab to another. and where
the fissure ceases there are little pro-
iecting polnts which afford secure foot
ing. And then II is much more agree
able to hang over, back down, than In
the reverse sense.

An Irish Faction Fight.

Mr.. LIE Finn, in his Seventy Years Of
Irish Life" tells of the faction fights be-
tween the Coffeys and the Reaskawallahs.
He says:
Members of opposite factions who hap
pened to dwell near each other lived peace
ably together. except on the occasions when
they met expressly for fight Fairs were
the usual battlefields, though at times a
special hour and place was fixed for the
battle. recollect one that was fought at
Armagh bog. near US, when the Cotfeys
were the victors. A few were killed, and
many on both sides dangerously wounded.
The old story, often told, that the row be-
gan by one man taking off his coat and
trailing it behind him, saying, Who will
dare to tread on that?' is myth.
II have seen many faction fight, every
one of which began in the same way, which
was thus: One man wheeled as they
called it, for his party-that is, he marched
up and down, ilourishing his blackthorn
and shouting the battlecry Of his faction.
Here is Coffey aboo against Reaskawal-
labs; here is Coffey aboO--who dar strike
Coffeyf' Il larp shouted one Of the other
party. Here's Reaskawallah aboo,' at the
same time making a whack with his shil-
lelsh at his opponents head. In an instant
hundreds of sticks are up, hundreds of
heads are broken In vain the parish
priest and his curate ride through the
crowd, striking right aud left with their
whips; in vain a few policemen try to quell
the riot; on it goes till one or the other OF
the factions is beaten and flies"
