Wireless Operators Story.
William James, wireless operator at
Father Point, told of being awakened
by his assistant at 1:55 A. NJ by the
news that the Empress had been in
collision with another ship. He then
took charge and forwarded the word
to the Lady Evelyn and Eureka. The
Empress gave no reply, further than
to say that she was 20 miles from
Rimouski.
Captain Belanger, of the Eureka,
told of the trip he had made to the
scene of the wreck. He was not sure
on his first trip of the exact posi-
ton where she had sunk. On the sec
ond, however, he could tell from the
boiling up from beneath of the muddy
water where the wrecked vessel lay
He told of gathering what bodies he
could find.
After moments deliberation by the
jury, 1t was decided to adjourn the in.
quiry for one week. In the meantime
the Coroner will consult with the dis.

termining what may be done toward
securing the evidence of the captain

SLEEVELESS ROBES.
They Are Fashionable For the Smart
Woman's Evening Wear.

Sleeveless evening frocks are the
rule. Perhaps it is the Grecian int1u-
ence that has brought about these
sleeveless frocks. Certain it is that
they are very attractive. Sometimes
there are jeweled bands to hold them
over the shoulders. and sometimes
there are bands Of flowers or folds of
tulle. Then the cOrsage is cut OF
square at the back and front and un-
der the arms.
Sometimes the bodice is made in
points that are held on the shoulder
with a jeweled clasp or a single flower
Not quite sleeveless are the frocks
with tulle sleeves. However. since the
sleeves are not evident ut the shoulders
but float away from the body in bill
lowy clouds. they are almost negligible
as sleeves. AS lovely drapely they
are decidedly effective.
Sometimes the tulle starts at tn,

ANCIENT CENS0RS OF PRESS.
Stringent Methods Used to Check News
Back In History.

The severest press censor of which
English history bears record was Sir
Roger L'EStrange. This worthy was
appointed to the post in 1868, and he
threw himself whole heartedly into his
duties. According to c. 3. Roylance
Kent, she suggested that the number
of master printers in London be reduc-
ed from sixty to twenty, that printing
offices be subject to inspection and
have no back doors and that in addi-
ton to the ordinary reasonable and
seditious publications culprits convict
ed of small attractions of the law be
condemned to wear some visible badge
or mark of ignominy, as Il halter in
stead of a hatband. m stocking blue
and another red, Il blue bonnet with a
red letter Z or s upon it."
But L'Estrange went further. He
was opposed to newspapers altogether,
because the reading Of them 'makes
the multitude too familiar with the
| actions and %counsels of their superiors,
! too pragmatical and %censorious and
gives them not only an itch, but a kind
of right and license to be meddling

criticisms on the government were
vigorously suppressed during his cen
