ful in the matter of spacing his letters. Lawton took the address as follows:
 Dr. A. Wing, room car agent, central depot, New York" The dispatch came back with the marginal report that there was no such person at the address named.
 The operator at Albany was called up and explanations followed, in con- sequence of which the address was cor rectly changed to drawing room car agent, central depot. But even more absurd mistake was one made in the same offices when wire was received for James w. Giles, pie clerk, Brook lyn nasty yard" This was afterward amended to read James w. Gillespie, clerk, Brooklyn Navy Yard"
 The expert telegrapher's great chance comes at the time of national conven- tions and Presidential elections. Speed like lightning variety Is then a requi- site Of his every movement. During the last Republican convention Frank J. kihm, press operator of the Brooklyn Eagle staff, covered himself and his paper with glory, and established a speed record which will long remain unbroken. Kihm had planned for this feat weeks ahead by learning to ope- rate linotype. At the time of the non1- lnation Kihm placed himself at the linotype, his sounder at his elbow. As the sounder began to click the news from Chicago Kihm received the message and ran it off on the linotype. The first part of the speech was in the newspaper forms ready for printing before the speech itself was ended, and the paper, with a verbatim report of the speech, was being sold upon the streets of Brooklyn before the audience in the convention hall of Chicago had ceased its applause.

 Professor James Ward, the naturalist, gives 1t as his opinion the monster must have been 100 years old. An experienced hunter places the age of the big moose at 150 years It Is reasonably safe to sup pose, therefore, that the monster was somewhere between 100 and 150 years of

LIGHTHOUSE POINT.

Lovers of the pictorial art will be gratified to learn of the successful eff fort after hard contest of the Point theater management in securing for their entertainment series of pictures taken on the battlefields of the war with Spain by special artists, which are to be exhibited nightly at 8 o'clock sharp from August 3 to 10th. This wargraph exhibit will continue one half hour before and a few minutes after the regular vaudeville perform ance with change of programme each night. Just now we are daily receiving in the newspapers brilliant pen pictures of these scenes by some of the most famous war correspondents of the age, but words do not mean the same to all, and particularly if you talk Spanish" Furthermore a great diplomat said that language was made to conceal thought, but the faithful picture Is realistic for all of us-the universal kindergarten language" Animated or moving pictures as we'll as the still life scenes are included in this brilliant series and all free to the patrons of the Point

A VERITABLE LOVEFEAST.
Six Hundred Americans and BrItOns As.
semble Fraternally at u Most En-
thusiastic Banquet In London.

LONDON, June 4.-Most unique and
significant as well as being one of the
most enthusiastic banquets ever given
in London, was the Anglo-American
banquet given yesterday evening at
the Hotel Cecil. Six hundred Britons
and Americans assembled fraternally,
the purpose of the entertainment be-.
ing the promotion of good fellowship
between kindred races. Englishmen,
many of whom had experienced
American hospitality, were the hosts,
while resident Americans were
the guests. Political, business and
literary circles were we'll repre-
sented, but the purpose Of making the
affair spontaneous and wholly un-
official celebration excluded the en-
bassy, American and British flags
were draped over the tables at which
were both men and women, with 1.-THE
flag Of the future" the union jack and
the stars and stripes blended, on coats
of arms. All wore buttons EN- blazoned
with the two flags surmounting the
Canadian beaver.
