FRIENDLY SEA eULLs.
Army Transports Followed by the
Birds to Manila.

Army Transports Followed by the
Birds to Manila.
Gulls are especially fond Of the Unit
ed States army transports, for these
ships carry many men, who, denied the
taste for books which renders an ocean
journey less tedious and having lin
tied facilities for deck sport, take to
feeding the gulis as a pastime. When
one of the big vessels leaves the Gold
en- Gate and passes the Farallone is
lands a hundred or more brown bodies
with long sweeping wings, leave theil
resting place and take up the flight in
the wake of the transport.
Then some soldier who has made the
trip before says: Here come the sea
gulls. We'd better feed them if we
want a quick passage this trip" And
many soldiers invade the stewards
premises and gather up the waste
bread and victuals.
The birds seem TO know when they
are to be fed, for they come flying in
ever narrowing circles until they are
within short distance of the ship
Then the food begins to fall on the wa
ters, and the brown winged forms
swoop eagerly down upon the waves
and seize what has been thrown forth
This is continued until the food is ex-
hausted. and then the soldiers go be-
low, leaving the gulls to get away
with their food as they fly. They nev-
er seem to rest, these queer birds. Day
after day they follow the ship, cleav-
ing the air with swift wings. flying
easily and without apparent effort. In
deed. it seems as though they were not
made to rest
On the last trip of the transport LO-
gan one of the gulls had its wing mus
cles injured in some way and dropped
futtering upon the deck, its wide,
gooselilse bill open and strange squawks
coming from its throat. A soldier
spicd it and took il to his bunk, where
he fed it daily until it became strong
again. Then he allowed it to fly again.
But the bird had not forgotten its ben
efactor. Every day it would alight on
the deck and allow none save this par
ticular man TO feed it,
It followed the boat to Honolulu, to
Guam and finally to Manila. Where it
rested during the two weeks the Lo-
gan lay in Manila is not known, but
when the vessel turned on its home
ward course, bound for Nagasaki, the
first day out found this gull, easily dis
tinguishable by a fleck of white on its
neck, resting on the stern. As its IA
vorite soldier did not appear the gull
graciously allowed others to feed it
and continued its trip with the ship
until the Logan passed the Farallone

is THE HAT CHECK TO cor
Court Decision That Promises to
Abolish a Railway CuytQ~

Court Decision That Promises to
Abolish a Railway Cuyto~
BY a court decision at X ,mington
the hat check, by means of which con-
ductors keep tab on their patrons, has
been dealt a severe blow. 1t was held
that n passenger is not obliged to show
nor to produce upon demand the evil
! dence the pastebOard gives that he has
presented a ticket to the conductor
/ This is equivalent to a statement that
! the check cannot be used legally as re-
ceipt nor as a method OF Identification.
If this finding be sustained by the
higher courts the problem put to the
railways will be fraught with no in
considerable difficulties. The big trans
pOrtation systems can scarcely devise
examinations which shall determine
beyond debate the perfection of a con-
ductor's memory, and that will be
about all the collector can rely upon
If he be forced to observe the Bloom
ington Interpretation of the law.
The litigation arose over the refusal
Of the Gwin brothers of Baltimore to
honor a request for hat checks on a
trip to the worlds fair. These valiant
gentlemen contended they had the
right to throw the checks out Of the
window Of the train should they so
desire. That their fare had been paid
was the testimony of their sister, who
claimed she had been a witness to the
transfer of tickets from the snug
pockets of the brothers Gwin to the
willing hand Of the railway representa- |
tive. When the conductor cast doubt |
upon the accuracy of the word of the |
three travellers the pother came that |
resulted in suit. The sum demanded /
for injuries to feelings and pocket was /
$4,000; the verdict was for $500, but |
the principle involved was Of far great
er import than the financial side Of the

what passengers have made good their
to the corporation. If no

repartee rs well though not as exten-
sively established as his more serious
renown as a profound and eloquent
preacher While at Wesley Grove

a party Of ministers and laymen who
were lounging about in one Of the re
cepton tents on Preachers row, en-
joying secular relaxation and social in
tercourse, as MethOdists are inclined
to do when occasion offers. especially
at camp meeting. One gentleman
addressed Bishop Gambler and said:
Bishop, surely you don't believe that
God would permit anybody to be
damned, do YOU? Don't you think God
is too good for that?"
To this Methodist with Unlversalist
predictions the bishop replied
Il don't know about that. Biblical
history would seem to be to the CON
trary. According to the theory implied
in what you say, all the wicked people
who were drowned in the flood went

No one is now allowed to go into the

Recently an American journalist paid
a visit to the cathedral, sent in his card
and was permitted to enter. The day
was Sunday, the time about o'clock in
the afternoon.
On entering the building the visitor
