Southern journalism.

Recent events make a few remarks
upon the general newspaper field APP
propriate and interesting. BY COM
parlson OF the journalistic situation In
Norfolk for some years past and the SIT
uation IN other cities in the United States
it will be easily seen that the oonsollda-
ton OF our morning contemporaries. the
Virglnian and Pilot was distinctly in the
direction Of journalistic acumen.
EXPERIENCED newspaper men wondered
at the existence OF three morning dailies
in so small field as this, and they de-
clared without hesitation that such a
state % affairs was anomalous and could
not continue. Too many papers In city
are TO the injury Of all concerned. The
papers themselves suffer. and the public
suffers in consequence, because the pa
pers are not able TO give the service
that can be given when normal condi-
tons prevail. L. is decidedly to the inter-

The New Sheep Industry.

The modern method of handling
sheep is entitled to be called the new
sheep industry The character of this
new management will be best under
stood when we call attention to the fact
that the winter feeding of lambs has
become the leading factor in the mar
keting of sheep in the west. This has
grown up within very few years, and
indicates that the trend of the sheep
industry within the next few years is to
be the production of mutton lambs to be
sold at from ten months to year
old, and either after or before shear
ing" says the Nebraska Farmer.
"This method of managing the sheep
business has an important bearing on
the meat and wool supply of the coun-
try. On the meat supply mainly be-
cause these lambs are marketed while
immature and at light weights which
do not give sheep as large mutton
producing power as it had when the
old system of feeding the mature sheep
was followed. The new method will
be felt on wool production because
lambs marketed at such an early age
will keep the total of the hocks down
80 that we will have fewer numbers to
shear and these generally ewes, shear
ing light feeces, or lambs also shearing
light fleeces. The wool as we'll as the
meat product of the country therefore
promises to be decreased by the method
of feeding off the lambs at or under one
year old.
The net profit resulting to the farm
ers from this method undoubtedly justi-
fies adopting it and certainly we should
commend the method to any farmer en-
gagged in the sheep business. His sum-
mer pastures will enable him to support
a larger number of sheep because lambs
will not consume any considerable
amount of pasture during the early
summer. His range therefore will pro-
duce the largest amount of feed each
year. His grain will also feed further,
because more pounds of gain can be
made on lamb with given amount
of grain than can be made on a grown
sheep; and lamb weighing seventy
pounds at marketing will bring as much
or more than a mature sheep weighing
hundred pounds.
"There is gain, therefore, to the
farmer on every point in the new man.
agement, and it is well worth while to
every man to investigate this method
of sheep husbandry, and see if it can
not wisely be adopted as part of his
| farm operations"

ONE OF the most appalling disasters in the
history of railroad wrecks occurred Monday
night at Cohoes, N Y. Shortly before eight
o'clock trolley car of the Troy City Rail-
road Company was struck by the night boat
special OF the Delaware & Hudson railroad
company at crossing at the west end Of
the Hudson liver bridge which connects
that city with Lansingburg. and its load Of
human freight was hurled into the air.
Eighteen of the thirty-fve passengers are
dead and at least ten of the remainder will
die. The catastrophe was an awful spec
tacle. The cars entering the city from Lam
singburg were crowded with passengers re-
turning from Labor Day picnic at Rensse-
lar Park, pleasure resort near Troy. Car
No. 1872 Of the Troy City railroad was the
victim OF the disaster. 1t came over the
bridge about 1885 O'Clock laden with merry
party OF people fresh from the enjoyment Of
the day. The electric car was struck in the
center by the engine Of the train which was
running at high rate Of speed. The motor
man evidently saw the swift train approach
ing as he reached the track, and opened his
lever, starting the car at full speed, but his
efforts were in vain. With crash that
startled the city for blocks from the scene
of the disaster, the powerful monster of
steam crashed into the lighter vehicle. The
effect was horrible. The motor car parted
in two, both sections hurled in the air in
splinters. The mass OF humanity, for the
car was crowded to OVERLOOKING, were torn
and mangled. Those in the front OF the car
met with worse fate. The force OF the col
lision was there experienced to the greatest
degree and every human being in that sec
ton OF the car was killed. The sight at the
scene was most horrible to behold. A mass
of shattered humanity lay about. Bodies
had been hurled into the air and their head
less and limbess trunks were found in some
cases fifty feet from the crossing. The pilot
of the engine was smashed and amid its
wreck were the manned corpses of two
women. The passengers of the train suf.
fered no injury in addition to violent
shock. The majority of the passengers on
the trolley car were young people, They
included many women. There was abso.
lutely no chance for them to save them.

slightest warning.

Foreign.

A TERRIBLE accident occurred last Fri
day at Wellingborough station on the Lon
don and Northwestern railway, near Man
chester, Two boys pushed a loaded lug
gage trolley" on the track just as the ex-
press was approaching at a speed of fifty
miles an hour. The train was derailed and
fearful scene ensued. The wreckage of
the railway carriages caught fire and two
passengers were killed, and many others
were seriously injured.
THE British war Office at London received
a dispatch last Saturday from Nasari, on
the Nile saying that gunboat returned
there and had reported that there were no
casualties among the Anglo-Egyptian
forces, that the right bank Of the river had
been completely cleared Of all forts, and
that the forts on the Uti island opposite
Omdurman had been demolished land the
guns captured. The despatch also said the
Sirdar's force was in excellent condition
THE Pail Mall Gazette is authority for the
statement that a general Anglo-German
agreement has been reached to act together
in various quarters of the world. The pa
per adds that it has verified this informa-
ton and as an instance of when Germany's
support will prove exceedingly useful it
points out that the fall of Omdurman will
change Great Britains position in Egypt
and that in the face of inevitable French
and Russian resentment Germany will be
useful as an active guarantor Of permanent
occupation.

The Fashionable Figure.

The girl athlete has revolutionized
the fashionable figure. She has been at
work upon it for some time, and her
clientele has steadily increased. She
rides and rows and swims and is big
and brown and muscular. Her poise is
perfect, and she has splendid appetite.
When she went in for athletics in ear
nest, she snapped her fingers in the face
of Nine. Grundy, who refused her rec
ignition, and concluded that it was bet
ter to be comfortable than in the fash
ion. Now Nine Grundy Is suing her
favor and has made her the fashion.
The hourglass figure and the wasp
wasted women must go. The end of
the century woman is creature Of
magnificent proportions. If she be 8 feet
Z inches tall, she must have waist
measurement Of 27 inches. She should
weigh 100 pounds, her bust should
measure 8S inches, her arm 10 inches,
and she should wear No. IA collar.
These measurements are relative, for
even athletics cannot increase a wom-
ans height. -Philadelphia Times
