paper is that some of the parents Of
the young ladies have been to that
sheet and complained. These parents
and friends have not come to the Bull
letin office. nor have they made any
direct or indirect complaint to this
paper. The Bulletin has received what
ii believes to be thoroughly reliable
information that the Advertiser sent
its men in search of letters written by
Miss Dwight. and were refused by
Miss Dwight's parents.
The letters received by this paper
from the young ladies of the Bulletin
marty have all been published and
have invariably spoken of the pleas
ant time they were having. Letters
to parents of which the Bulletin has
any knowledge have been of the same
tenor. Miss Dwight has not written
the Bulletin q word regarding her
troubles or her pleasures, Her ar
rangements for the trip were made ex-
cllrsiveIy and personally with Mrs.
weatherred. If Mrs. Weatherred Dor
rowed from her or other members Of
the party, it amply justifies the Bull
Ietin in changing ehaperUnes.

TALK OF WIRELESS.
Mainland newspapers speak of the

San Francisco to Honolulu, as keeping
up a constant system of wireless mes
sages while on her way to San Fran
cisco from Honolulu. One dispatch en-
route from Honolulu was picked up
and checked at Sitka, Alaska, a dis
tame of about three thousand miles.
The apparatus on the Thomas was in
charge of Sergeant Moseiey of the
Signal Corps The Earallones were
communicated with at distance of
1850 miles. and North Head, Oregon,
at a distance OF. 1450 miles. The oper-

THOMAS STRUCK BY GIANT WAVE
When the U. s. A transport Thomas
was en- route to San Francisco from
This port she was struck by a giant
wave, which Captain Lyman, her COM
mander considers similar to the wave
which wrought such damage to the
Norwegian steamship Admiral Borre-
sen, which put into this port in dis
tress on November 19, having been
shattered by a tidal wave on Novem-
Der l. At the time of the phenomenon,
however, the sea was comparatively
calm, but the Titanic force OF the
wave shook the vessel to her keel. All
the chinaware and furnishings were
thrown from the saloon tables and
scattered on the floor. The effect last
ed ONLY a few seconds.

Northern League Echoes.

Billy Dyer, the former Rutland and
Eastern league shortstop, has patched
up his differences with the Atlanta club
Of the Southern league, to which he was
sold by Cincinnati, and has left to join
the team.
Harry Pattee, the peerless little sec
ond baseman who made such brilliant
record at Brown during his college course
and later with the Jersey City team of
the Eastern league and Burlington of the
Northern league, has signed a contract
with the Harrisburg club of the Tri-
State league. While the figures are not
given out, 1t Is safe betting that Pat
tees contract called for at least S375
a month.
The fence about the Intercity grounds
is partially collapsed, Just as the North

The Capturing Of Lions.

As youngsters, most of us read Paul
DuChaillu's adventure books, and found
huge delight in the fascinating descrip-
tons Of African wild animals and their
capture. Such clean adventure fiction
is not often found Of late amid the pre-
ponderanee Of morbidly realistic stories,
but we occasionally find a tale that
pleases us as they used to. In the April

AIMS Lions by Floy Sulzer Bingham,
story of two wee girls who capture
a pair of life sized lions II is a rare
coordination indeed, and as improbable
as it all may sound from this review
there Is in ii an irresistable conviction.
There are no heart-sickening details in
the story, no oyerworking of horror
situations, in fact there is no gruesome
touch in the whole story, but nevefthe-
less it thrills one with excitement.

asurprise Testsn d Railroads.

II is but few years since American
railroads began systematically the use
OF surprise tests These more or
less directly grew out Of an incident
that occurred on one of the largest
systems OF the middle West. To test
the operations of their signals some Of.
ticials went out one night and leaving n
signal set 1t clear" simply removed
tho light. They watched ten or twelve
trains 20 by and not one engineer stop
ped TO inquire what was the trouble,
as the rules demanded. This same road
reports that in 1906, 1900 surprise
tests were made without one resulting
in failure. the figures are a little
staggering; human nature is not us
TALLY so inerTent. But what Is certain
Is that accidents on this line have been
very materially reduced. The Pennsyl-
vania has had an almost identical ex-
perience; and very recently the officials
OF the Lake Shore saw twenty-four out
OF twenty-five trains 60 by signal

when tie New York Central system
began these surprise tests, they were
threatened with strike.--Carl Snyder
