i TRAP FOR SHEEPEILLING DOCS

The Lyncbburg Tbginian describes
an ingenious trap devised by n Yir.
ginia farmer TO capture sheep-kilIing
dogs. Having suffered severely from
the deprcdations Of dogs upon his
sheep fold, be built around q number
OF sheep that dogs had killed an in.
closure of rails twelve feet high and
about ten feet square at the ground,
the sides Of the trap sloping inward
until an opening was left about five
feet square, Any dog could easily
climb such sloping fence and enter
the pen, bnt not even greyhound
could jump out of it. In three nights
the farmer captured fOrty-six dogs, in.
fifteen or twenty that had
never been seen before in that neigh.
borhood. This, after there had been
a public slaughter OF all dogs suspect
ed Of shoep.kiling, save one, whose
master could not be convinced of his
guilt. The trap was built for his
especial benefit, and it caught him tho
first night.

The necessity of keeping a portion
Of one crop until another is matured
will be fully appreciated this year,
Farmers have been put of their guard
by the uniform excellence Of crops in
former years. Especially is this true
in regard to the corn crop, which has
been the main dependence for feeding.
The lesson learned this year from the
scarcity of both fodder and grain, will
undoubtedly be put in practice by
many who have heretofore been in the
habit of depending solely upon ono
years crop.

THE PRESIDENTS CONDITION

The new phase of the Presidents condition
will inevitably be regarded with much anxiety
by the country. 1t is evident that a crisis has
been reached quite as grave any of those
which have before thrown the people into
pancs of fear, and perhaps graver. No
intelligent layman needs TO be told that
i'll the Presidents exhausted condition. after a
long fight for life and with steady drain
upon his strength through his wound, it is of
the utmost importance that he should be able
to take and retain sufficient food to repair the
waste and increase his strength. But
his digestive system has now failed him.
whether only for time remains to
be seen. His old enemy, Indigestion
seized him ON Sunday, aud he became unable
at times to retain food. He vomited several
times during the night, and did not rest well.
This unfavorable condition continued during
yesterday, with some respites for the better
When the morning bulletin was issued
the Presidents pulse stood at 1OS; in
four hours more it had reached 11S !;
at 6:3O p. m, the usual time of
the last official bulletin, it was 100. These
figures doubtless indicate a critical degree of
exhaustion, and the Presidents physicians,
speaking frankly as they have always done,
do not conceal their anxiety, while they are
are against the Presidents recovery.
1t must be remembered that the Presi-
dent has by his great endurance weathered
several crises before, and it is far from being
impossible that his native tenacity will bring
him through this one. 1t is noteworthy fact
that his temperature, while higher than his
physicians like to see it, has shown little ten
dency to keep pace with the pulse. When the
pulse was at los yesterday, the temperature
was 1902; when the pulse reached us the
temperature had fallen to 90 and when the
pulse reached $50 the temperature had reached
only 99.G. Late last night, when the pulse had
gone down to 120, the temperature was 90.
This gives the physicians ground for hope that
the affection of the stomach may be n
temporary, and in one sense local de
rangement, and not sign of collapse. The
President obviously cannot long continue in
his present condition, ana the doctors adj
nit it; but it is by 10 means impossible.
nor necessarily improbable, that the irritation
of the stomach should be removed and the
President become able to retain food
The people, who have watched so long hv
the Presidents bedside, can only hope for The
best. lie is in the hands of able physicians
and surgeons, who have shown from the first
professional zeal and elf-abnegation of the
highest order, and deep sense of the respon-
siblity resting upon them. All that human
be aided by the Presidents own strong pur-
pose to live, if he may, for the sake of his
country and of those who are dear to him.

REMEMBERING 4 HERO

The meeting at Sea Cliff on Sunday in me-
mortal of Captain Charles p. Smith, of the
Seawanhaka, cOmmemOrated an act of rare and
unselfsh heroism which this generation, at
least, should not permit itself to forget. The
character of the gathering and the number of
persons present showed the feeling of those
who lived near the scene of the disaster toward
the brave old man without whose firmness and
courage it might have been more dreadful
than it was.
1t is easy to say-and it is said too often
that such men deserve no special credit, be-
cause they do only their duty. Those who say
it forget, perhaps, that doing ones duty is not
a universal habit, and that, leaving this ques-
ton aside, Captain Smith had very difficult
duty to perform. 1t may be that the courage
of heroism is equal to any emergency, but it
seems easy to imagine situations in which it
would be less difficult to do the brave and
right thing. than that which presented itself to
Captain Smith. 1t is certainly fair question
whether there is notices. of enduring courage in
a dashing charge on the field Of battle, with the
soldiers knowledge that he may come out of
it with his life and the Victoria Cross be-
sides. than there was in Captain Smiths
standing firmly at the wheel, while the flames
were fairly burning his flesh. Taking the risk
test of flames is another. There was no Vic
toria Cross for Captain Smith and il is not
likely that he though. of fame or honor to
follow. Perspective often adds much to a
brave act. Done i'll far-Off country at a
place with strange and sOnorous name. it
will appeal to the imagination of thousands
who will pay little heed to the same
achievement almost at their own doors by n
man they might any day in the streets.
If Captain Smith was hero, he was none the
less one because the was laid in the
prosaic East River and he was a plain steam
boat captain. He did his duty manfully: some
citizens testified their appreciation of his
bravery by a subscription; the Grand Jury in
dicted him for manslaughter on the ground
that he was partly responsible for the defec-
tive condition Of the steamboat; he died of
disease growing apparently out of his inu-
ries; and large meeting is then held to com
memorate his bravery. On the whole he Jared
better than some of the heroes have done.

The Division superintendent of the Railway
Mail Service discussed at their meeting yester-
day the best method of heating postal ears in
winter. The frightful disaster at Iioga Centre
last winter, in which four postal clerks lost
their lives because the car took fire from the
stoves, and a similar accident in North Caro-
lima, will no doubt lead to some action by
Congress, which has been sufficiently delayed
already.
