Mark Twain's Mission.


Mark Twain did not cherish fond
ness for the average Office boy. He
had an idea that the genus was in
sufferable. and Invariably when the
humorist sailed forth INTO some bust

hostility between him aud the boy.
One day Mark went to see friend

disaster. although making all possible
speed to succor the distressed vessel.
These false reports raised the hope in
The minds Of the world that the Titanic
wac safely igeathering the terrible blow,
and vixen the accurate messages came
many hours later that the huge vessel
had really gone down, carrying hundreds
to death, the blow was all the more
cruel
1t is evident that after the first
&C. Q. D. call from the wireless oper
ator on the Titanic and the messages
which ran into blair thereafter, the
various messages which were picked up
by wireless stations were either mere
guesswork of hopeful people or the ma
licious work of irresponsible wireless
operators who took the occasion of a
world startling disaster to exploit their
prowess with the new means of com
munication. There are many amateur
operators of wireless telegraphy all along
the Atlantic coast; and they are con-
stantly interfering with the legitimate
and established routes of communication
between recognized stations. On this
occasion they appear to have repeated
the oifense and in a brutally unjust
manner. How else can we explain the
report that the Virgnian was towing
the Titanic in and that all the passen
gers of the distressed steamer were safe
Ii legislation is needed anywhere, it
most certainly is needed to deal with
this class of irresponsibes.

Ell in its authorship, that one of the
largest audiences OF the season went

What variations there were on the
old theme of musical comedies disclosed
themselves at such long intervals that
in the structure of the piece and the
gossamer threads that bound it together,
the audience was treated to little that

THE WIRELESS AND THE TITANIC
DISASTER.


After the excitement of the worlds
greatest steamer disaster is somewhat
subsidized, it will be left to investigate
certain OF the reports which Were be-
licved to have come from the sinking
Titanic and later regarding those othef
vessels which were reported to be in the
vicinity of the stricken steamer. All
these reports purported to have come by
wireless telegraphy, as must needs be
in case of this sort. The reports va
ried all the way from the statement that
the Titanic's passengers We're all saved
to the statement that the Titanic was
being towed into Halifax by the Yir
ginian, when, as matter of fact, the
Virginian was probably one hundred
miles or so distant from the scene of the
