ANOTHER HEROIC CAPTAIN. It is one of the unwritten laws of the sea that the captain shall be the
laat tn. loiivA his sinking shin. The
latest wreck, that of the steamship
Columbia, off California, has added an
other to the list of heroic captains who
have stuck by their sinking ship and teen engulfed with it by the sea. In the dead of night the Columbia was
etruck by a freight steamer and in
jured so badly that It sank in less than
ten minutes. The passengers on the rviTiimhln. were in their berths, a fact
that accounts for the great loss of life,
Ninety-four passengers and nineteen of
the crew were saved. Captain Doran of the Columbia was among the drowned, and the last thing the sur
vivors heard as they drew away from
the doomed vessel was "God save you
all," Captain Doran's last message
ith death not one minute off, the captain's last thought was for the safe
ty of the survivors of his passengers and crew. To meet death in this manner is every whit as heroic as to be Bhot to pieces on the battlefield and even more so. A soldier in battle receives the support of having thousands of comrades around him. His crude philosophy teaches him to take the fatalistic view that if he Is going to be killed in that battle he is going to be killed and that Is all there is to it. Captain Doran, however, had a dif
ferent situation to face. After his ves
sel was struck he had to save as many
of his crew and passengers as he could
They could not all be gotten off before
the ship sank, and he stayed with those
who had to go down with the Colum
bia. From the moment he realized that all could 'not be saved he knew
that he would have to die also, and when death was about to come his last thought was not for himself, but for
the unfortunates who had been under his charge. Captain Doran was a hero In the highest sense of the word, and is
a splendid example of the fearless men to whom we may well entrust our
lives when traveling on the sea.
KISSING UNDER A BAN.
THE PENNSYLVANIA ROAD WILL HAVE NO MORE OF IT.
Passengers Must Deport Without the
Long Lingering Style of Osculation.
Aiinougn nam nearted as it may
seem, the Pennsylvania has issued an edict against the long drawn out, slobbery sort of osculation, generally practiced in its stations before the de
parture of trains. Not only this manner of kissing will be tabooed by the
officials, but all other manner of kiss
ing. People leaving their friends at the stations, will have to be content
with a little bird like peck and that
given with the hand hereafter. The
exact reason for the Pennsylvania taking such a step is not known. ATLANTIC CITY TRIP. The C, C. & L. Is now advertising Its annual excursion to Atlantic City, via the B. & O. S. W., leaving Richmond, August 1, for Cape May, Ocean City, Sea Isle City, N. J., and Rehoboth, Del. The round trip rate from Richmond will be $16. The railroads will allow stopovers at Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, D. C. FARE CLERKS MEET. Notices were sent out by E. A. Ford of the Pennsylvania passenger department, to all the heads of the passen
ger departments of railroads in the jurisdiction of the Central Passenger association to attend a meeting of the
fare clerks which is being held in
Pittsbursr. CoDies of the announce
ments have been received at the local Pennsylvania offices. Owing to the complications arising in the work under way, arranging a new tariff sched
ule to conform to the two-cent rate
laws, it is necessary to call the meet
ing in order to adjust differences.
BLOCK SIGNAL SYSTEM. The signal report shows that the Pennsylvania company now has every mile of Its main lines protected by block signals, and of the entire mileage of the lines east, only about 500 miles are not equipped with block signals. Most of the latter, however, are short, industrial lines or branch lines on which traffic is so light and of such a character as to render the block signal unnecessary. POPULATION A TEST. The fight of the railroads against the 2-cent-a-mile passenger rate is reported in four states. The best test of the ability of the new roads to maintain themselves on such a rate is found in the population to a mile of
road. A comparison of the four states referred to, shows the following population a mile of road: Pennsylvania, 571; Virginia, 469; Wisconsin, 287; , Iowa, 226. In these states and others the railroads are fighting the 2-cent rate that has been. imposed in many
of them without consideration of anything but the desire of the traveler to
get for 2 cents what has neretotore
cost him 3 cents.

THRESHING IN HENRY COUNTY.
Straughn, Ind., July 24. Farmers

The situation governing the wheat harvest in Wayne county Is critical at the present time, and unless the rains cease and the farmers have a period of dry weather, that they may get their wheat and oats threshed, thousands of
bushels will be lost. The threshing season is now much delayed, and it is
said on all sides that as late a harvest has never before been known in the
history of the county.
The cutting of wheat yas delayed on
account of the rains, it being impossi
ble for the farmers to gain access to their fields, driving heavy harvesting machinery through, the mud. Wheat
in this county was dead ripe, but its
harvest was delayed owing to the fre
quent and heavy rains.
As the rains hindered the harvesting
of the grains, the rains are now hin
dering threshing. The grain can be
threshed, but it stands a ten to one
shot that it will be refused on the local
and other markets in Wayne county,
due to the fact that it is damp and of
inferior quality.
Ranked as No. 3 Class.'
Charles Carpenter, of the Richmond
Roller Mills, stated that already many loads of wheat had arrived in Richmond, and at his mills, but owing to
the fact that Is of inferior quality, it was thrown in the "number three"
class, which is the worst, and refused.
It Is damp, he says, and unfit for tho
manufacture of flour. The purchaser of the grain in its present condition also stands the chances of a heavy loss
as it will invariably mould. The
farmers are threshing too early, according to Mr. Carpenter's opinion, as they are not' giving the wheat in the shock a chance to thoroughly dry before they haul it to the machine. The farmers who have already threshed their grain are now in hot water, figureatlvely speaking, as they are having their
grain refused on the markets and there
fore are ; suffering considerable loss
Those who have already sold portions
of it had to do so at a reduced figure.
not getting what they expected. Does Not Weigh Out.
' It has been established also that the grain this year is of inferior quality
and does not weigh out as it did last
year. The grains are smaller and with all their dampness will not weigh out as heavy as the large solid grains of last year. Ten days of warm dry
weather are all that will save the farm
ers hundreds of dollars on their wheat
crop, is the opinion that has been ex
pressed among the local millers and
elevator men.
Last year it was an unusual fact that the new wheat brought onto the Rich
mond market, was In such, condition
that it could immediately be ground in
to flour. The millers of Richmond
have no such hope this year.
. Notwithstanding the warning against
wet wheat, that has been Issued by the millers of the county, several farmers
are threshing at present.

Many persons have wondered how
strawberries got their name. They
have been so called by Anglo-Saxon people for hundreds of years, but no
corresponding name for them appears
in any other languages. On the con
trary, their fragrance mainly 1st set forth in the names by which they are called in non-English speaking lands. Tho old Anglo-Saxon form was "streawberige." It seems probable that the "straw" is the long stem of the vine which runs along the ground. Some have thought, however, that in ancient times the Anglo-Saxon berry hunters brought the berries home or sent them to market upon straws. The explanation that the word is a corruption of "strayberry," due to the running habit of strawberry vines Is believed to be erroneous.
