across seas face to face with the foe, when the lists come in from the wars with the names of the wounded and the dead.
 A young lad with a sensitive face stood a little apart from his comrades and looked out over the rail of the China with big, lonely eyes. A little child on tug fuming alongside stu died him doubtfully. Then a sweet soul spoke out of her little six years or so of worldly experience:
 "Good-by, soldier" she called softly.
 He did not hear and her face fell. She waited moment and then she called again:
 Soldier. good-by; good-by, soldier"
 The boy heard this time and saw. He colored with surprise and a sort of gladness came into his face. but he looked to see if there was another to dispute the honor with him. The little girls eyes never wandered. When his own came back to her they were full of tears.
 "Goodby. little girl" he said, put ting out his arms to her, "Good-by, lit- tie girl"
 At one o'clock the China hoisted the blue Peter and a thrill swept along the water front. The Senator had cast her breast lines and slid out into the stream. The small fry on the bay put excitedly toward Meiggs wharf, the tugs and ferry steamers waited for the flagship to take the lead. The Colon and Zealandia followed her and the Senator fell in after them. The whistles sounded along shore and screamed across the water. The crowd rushed to the edge of the piers. cheering and waving hats and hands. Heads came out of the windows on Telegraph Hill, line of men topped 1t stiff1y, like row of frs. At Meiggs wharf the

GETTING SHIPS READY.
Ohio, Indiana, City of Para anc Morgan City Will Comprise
 the Third Squadron.

The China, Zealandia, Senator and Colon are now on their way to Manila, via Honolulu, and a new batch of transports has taken their places at the various Wharves. Work has begun on all of them save the City of Puebla and Alameda, and four of them at least will De ready to get away before the end of the month-the Ohio at Lombard street wharf, In diana at Paci1ic-street wharf Morgan City at Howard-street wharf and City of Para at the Mail dock. The City of Puebla is now on Puget Sound, and is expected back here next week. while the Alameda will be due here from Australia on the 29th inst. The latter vessel is under contract to carry the English mails from San Francisco to New Zealand and Australia, and the Oceanic Steamship Company will have to get another steamer at once to take her place. This can be done by getting the MonoWai the steamer that at one time ran on the line in the Moana.s place, up from New Zealand.
 The Indiana and Ohio are sister ships and will make splendid transports. Their berth decks run level from stem to stern and the soldiers will be able to move from one end of the vessels to the other without ever approaching the main deck. Con siderable work has already been done or the Morgan City, and she will be the first of the fleet to be ready. The City of Para came of1 the drydock yesterday, and the work of getting her ready began with a rush.
 These four vesels-the Ohio, Indiana, Morgan City and City of Para-win prob ably be the next fleet to get away. They will be followed by the Alameda, City of Puebia, Victoria (nOw at Seattie) and the Olympia, due at Seattle from the Orient next Sunday. The Victoria and Olympia are British steamers, but have been given an American registry in order to carry soldiers to Manila In all the eight yes sels will carry about 5000 soldiers, and that would leave 40G0 men still in camp These will probably be sent away on the Mariposa, due here, and the Arizona due in Seattle in July, and two of the Pacific Mail Company's boats.

SERIOUS BLUNDER OF
 TWO POLICEMEN
INNOCENT BOYS DRAGGED INTO
 THE POLICE COURT.
Emile Schmidt and John Hanley Con- victed by Judge Low With out the Formality of
 Trial

Through the laundering methods of Police Officers King and Young of the Seventeenth-street station two innocent boys were thrown in jail last Monday night for obstructing the sidewalk. Their names are Emile Schmidt and George Hanley. They belong to the League of the Cross Cadets and are held in high esteem by the officers of that organiza- tion.
 On the night of their unwarranted ar rest the boys were returning from the headquarters of the League of the Cross Cadets. When they reached Church and TWenty-ffth streets on the way home they noticed the policemen chasing a crowd of boys. Schmidt and Hanley stood on the corner interested spectators of the chase. Failing to catch the boys whom they were after the off1cious po- Ncemen, espying Hanley and Schmidt, approached them and without attempting to ask them for an explanation placed them under arrest despite their protes- tations- They were taken to the Seven teenth-street station and charged with obstructing the sidewalk

Private Harris will take the double stripe abandoned by Corporal James.
 Private Goddard, Company E, and Pri- vate Hoburg, Company M. who were left sick with measles in Sioux Falls when the South Dakota troops came West, re- ported for duty to Colonel Frost yester- day.
 The health and general moral tone of Colonel Frost's command Is remarkably above the average, possibly because of the rule that Colonel Frost has followed in allowing only 10 per cent of his. men out at night, and then only until l o'clock They also get six good hours of drilling every day, and that practice on the part of the two Dakotas and the Iowas Is win ming commendation from every regular officer in camp.
 The three battalions of the First Mon tanas varied the monotony of drill Tues day with a mild sham battle. The Third Battalion intrenched itself near the line of the. woods on the Presdio hills and succeeded in holding off the bloodthirsty hosts of the First and Second battalions for nearly two hours. Every officer in camp turned out excepting Colonel Kess- Ter and the officer of the day.

TIGHTS WORN
 AT WELLESLEY Classic Shades Caused

FAIR GRADUATES IN A PLAY
However Much Classic Boston May Be Shocked, the Performance Was Pleasing to Spec
 tatorS.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

BOSTON, June 15.-The shades of classic Wellesley blushed tonight as they never did before For the first time in the history of the famous strait-laced old Puritanical institu- ton the young lady students appeared tonight before a mixed audience in tights, real, unadulterated tights, the self-same wicked garments in which the naughty chorus girls do their high kicking in the ballet. It is a shocking comparison, but truthful one, al- though, of course, the Wellesley girls didn't kick.
 The occasion of this was the startling but charming exhibition of the graces Of "A Midsummer Nights Dream" by the Shakespearean society of the col lege. Not only was this method of cos tuning an astonishing innovation at Wellesley, but it is absolutely unprece- dented in the history of the high class female seminaries of the entire country Never before have any of the fair pu- pills of any of the famous colleges dis played their charms in tights to an au- dience composed of both sexes.
 The play was out of doors tonight, and as it was quite chilly and damp the young actresses ShiVered in their Scant attire. The use of tights tonight is defended by those in charge on the ground that to costume male charac- ters in any other than the masculine dress serves but to accentuate the prudish modesty of the actress and to exhibit, in fact, false modesty unnec- essary. But however shocked the Bos- ton bluestockings will be and whatever amazement the critics may voice. the fact cannot be contradicted that the spectacle was most beautiful one. and that the young women turned the greensward into veritabe fairy bower and presented most charming and ac- ceptable rendition'of the play to an au- dience whose ardor was net in the leas dampened by the fact that the girls wore tiQhtS
