That, ever, was before wireless came. it is almost impossible for an accident | to occur at sea without vessels passing miles away not being and assistance _rendered as pessible. | . There were five steamers which answered the La Touraine’s call for help and they stood by until it was definitely determined that she would Le able to extinguish the firc and pro- ceed to her destination. Announce- ment is made daily on board of cer- | tain steamers of the names of other will be within wireless communication during the day. Should an accident happen the injured vessel would instantly ~give warning and those steamers would answer. It is a great invention, by its use assist- ance can be, and is, given to other ships miles away and help is soon at hand. Without it many people would have gone to the bottom; with it the dangers of the sea have been wonder- fully minimized. Life boats 'are of some value but they will not live long in a rough sea but with a large ocean steamer waiting a short distance away there is not much danger. Wireless has done this and no greater benefit has come to navigation. Big ships have done something but they are like a cork when the sea begins to roll and gets angry. been heard from harbor Whether an Now informed as soon vessels: which HIGH HAT ANNIVERSARY. It has been formally announced in the esteemed Bridgeport Post that this is the one hundredth anniversary of the manufacture of the stovepipe hat. It does not suggest a celebration but the announcement leaves the people free to prepare for such an interest- ing event if they feel so disposed. Less important things have recognized and as. this is the year when the Panama exposition is hcing held in honor of the completion of | the big canal, why would it not be a good plan to have the first stovepipe hat made placed on exhibition at the show. It might perhaps be difficult to chbtain the first high hat made and in | the search imposition might be prac- tised, because there are s0 many of them around and all look as if they might have been the first, but the madtter might be looked into. The high hat has a most unique history. The man who never thought of wearing one begins to look around when he acquires some distinction in | the form of increased wealth or per- | haps a public office. Under such con- | @itions men who have been known for their good judgment will insist upon celebrating their emancipation by wearing a silk hat. It matters not whether it is becoming, it is neverthe- less a badge of .distinction and it is wern as such. Sometimes the wearer | will forget himself when endeavoring to add to his honors and drink a bit too much. It is then that the stove- pipe becomes truly remarkable. No man ever looks as drunk when wearing a high hat; people who go along the street without gazing after people, will turn, stand and take a long and sometimes lingering look at the intoxicated individual so attired. Many frequently and where he came from. bLeen known where they asked whither he was going. The high hat has lost some of its popularity except among those whose station in life seem ‘to call for such headgear. 1If the stitution of such a hat was to be cele- brated it would undoubtedly cause a revivification of a style that carried with it distinction, a style with char- been as inquire who he is Cases have in- | acter.

We believe Mr. King been mistaken when he said: “We have a cheap town.

As we have said before Bridge- port is far from being a cheap town, but is possessed of many attractions that make it a desirable place of resi- dence, besides possessing a large de- gree of public spirit and industrial activity.—Bridgeport Post,, COMMUNICATED.
