Busy Railroad Men.


 Said railroad official last night: "The general officers of railroads and all the other officers as for that matter are kept busy these days. They are paid to work hard and they do 1t. Twenty-Five years ago the officials accomplished a great deal but they had easy jobs compared with those of today.
 Railroad expansion has been so great and traffic has become so heavy that every official from the roadmaster to the president is necessarily a pusher. The general manager, and in some cases the presidents. make many more trips of in- spectitn than they did formerly. If the old time general manager got over his line three or four times a year he was thought to be doing pretty well. but the rule now is a monthly inspection. The general manager wants to sec for himself.
 Among the presidents of southern roads, MT. Milton II. Smith of the Louis vile and Nashville is perhaps seen oftenest on the line. He makes a tour Of inspection about once month."

 What is that?' some one asked, who was surprised to see the office boy in a thoughtful mood, as if he were preparing to write his testimonial to a typewriting firm.
 "Well, there is the shift key machine" [" resumed the boy. "and the universal board, and the makers of each claim that they have the only sine qua non article and that their own partiular machine Is the only non-patentable up-to-date plu- perfect article on the market.

Men Who Rise,

There is a difference between men who rise to positions of responsibilities be- cause of their special fitness and m en who rise to the occasion after responsibilities are thrust upon them," said student of psychology.
 "All of us can call to mind men who have got to the top because they were brilliant and were equipped for manag- ing men or directing affairs and we can call to mind ether men who seemed to have been mediocre individuals but who, with large responsibilities forced upon them, distinguished themselves and thus surprised their friends Wars of course give us examples of both kinds of men, but civil life affords just as many ex- amples.
 ''The man who rises to the occasion in the realm of business or politics, when it is not thought to be in him. naturally eXcites more admiration on the part of the hero worshipper. than does the other fellow. But all I started out to say was never despise the plodder, because he is liable to get there some day"

straight for the gallows, and every member of the mob knew it. They simply desired frolic, and they had it. Judge Samuel E. Greene says such frolics are murder, and should be re- garded as such, and we reiterate be- lief that Governor Jelks will do his entire and possible and valuable duty in this case. He has not In the past failed to face courageously situation, and he surely will not in Pike County.
 To do otherwise would simply be to invite a renewal of lynching bees in every county in the State. Much de- pends upon the course that Governor Jelks may take in this matter, and we feel sure he will not disappoint the friends of law and order in this i'm portant crisis. The Pike County case is the turning point, one road leading to renewal of anarchy, and the other to the complete supremacy of the law, to good order, and to the fair reputation of the State.

Pike County Case.

The Age.Herald feels assured that Governor Jellks, who has heretofore boldly stood for the supremacy of law, will not let the Pike County lynching go uninvestigated and unpunished. There was not the least excuse for the lynching. It was simply a wild rustic desire to have a lynching bee. The prisoner was in the hands of the sheriff, and both were on the way to the county jail. The case did not in volve the appearance of a young woman. It was simply and solely an- archy in an otherwise peaceful State.
 We cannot and do not believe Gov ernor Jelks will ignore so fragrant a case. Especially should the entire ac. tion of the sheriff in the case, from beginning to ending, be fully investi- gated. It is all moonshine to say that the persons who took part in the un- called for and unnecessary frolic were unknown" There is no trouble in knowing them when there is real desire of that sort.

EARTHQUAKES AND CAUSES.
Suggestions Which May Lead to
 Fruitful investigations.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
 One of the most disastrous earthquakes of recent times is that reported from Russian Transcaucasia. The town of Shamaka has been practically destroyed, only a dozen houses being left stand ing, while population of 25,000 has been rendered homeless. The number of fatali- ties is as yet unknown. Perhaps 1t never will be correctly determined, for the fis- sured earth swallowed up some of the vic- tims, and others are buried in ruins where they may never be disturbed. Over 300 bodies had been recovered at the latest accounts.
 To the student of seismic phenomena the interesting and suggestive feature in the Shamaka earthquake is that it has occurred in the neighborhood of the Baku oil district-the most productive field in the world, not excepting that of Beau mont. in Texas. It Is, furthermore, a sec- tion of the world which has hitherto been exempt from these phenomena. The scien- tific inquirer will naturally search for a cause, for cause and effect go together in the scientific analysis of all phenomena. Is the great natural oil reservoir tapped by the oil wells of Baku, on the shores of the Caspian Sea, located under the site of Shamaka, and has the tremendous drain of mineral oil from the same caused a void and a subsequent shrinkage in the earth's crust in that neighborhood? The assumed that water takes the place of the oil withdrawn from the measures, filling the vacuum created by the latter's withdrawal, but if the water, being more tenuous, should find an independent vent elsewhere, the vacuum created by the draining of the mineral oil would remain, and shrinkage of the unsupported crust of the earth would naturally follow sooner or later
 It has been suggested that the tapping of the oil measures in the southern part of the state has relieved the mineral oil- bearing formations from the pressure of the gas created in them, and the possible subterranean gas explosions produced by excessive pressure. and thus removed one of the supposed causes of earthquakes in that section. There may be nothing In the theory, but 1t has been observed that the Los Angeles district has been notably ex- empt from seismic disturbances since the soil measures were tapped and vent given to the gases generated in them. Likewise, the theory that the Shamaka earthquake was due to the drain on the petroleum reservoirs in the Caucasus by the Baku wells may be entirely at fault. But the two phenomena seem to invite the a. tention of the scientist, and open a new field for the study of seismic disturbances.

Delarey's brilliant victory. can make peace with honor, and no doubt they can secure amnesty for all and req sonable autonomy for the republics thatswill how become colonies. There are, no doubt, many difficulties in the way, and Lord Kitchener has not only the Boer governments, but the Boer generals to deal with. The movements reported seem to relate to common action on the part of the Boers.
 All that the world knows is that peace negotiations are going on. This has been announced in the House of Commons. This accounts, too, for the presence of Lord Wolseley in South Africa. If it be possible to arrange for an honorable peace by negotia- tion no doubt that will be the outcome of the present movement, for both sides are anxious to end the struggle. Concessions by the British government will be necessary. In fact, England will have to grant almost all that is asked, the Boers giving up in return absolute independence and accepting rule somewhat similar to that of Cape Colony, where the Boers are very in- fluential and at times all-powerful, controlling the local Parliament and naming the ministry of the colony.

Washington Correspondent of the Chicago
 Tribune.
 Nathan Stubblefleld, Kentucky inven- tor, today gave demonstration of the possibility of sending wireless telephone messages with miniature instruments or his own invention, manufactured on his farm near Murray, Ky, by himself and his 14-year-old son. The test was made on the Virginia bank of the Potomac river, about half a mile above the aqueduct bridge, in the presence of a party of New Workers and some newspaper men. While the demonstration was not entirely satis- factory to the inventor, no doubt remains as to the feasibility of his claims for at least 200 yards, the greatest distance at which messages were sent today.
 Tavern Inn was used as a central sta- tion, an operator was stationed over plain pine box, on which rested an ordin- ary telephone transmitter and a receiver like those in everyday use in all large cities. The box contained dry cells, a gem orator. and induction coils, which were connected with a steel rod in the earth by ordinary telephone wires. The box is about fourteen inches high, a foot broad, and eight inches wide.
 Mir Stubblefield explained briefly that 1t simply contained a battery which con- nected with the currents of earth. The first test was on land. The party left the Tavern Inn with two sets of simple pieces of apparatus which closely resembled, at first glance, the sticking irons used by surveyors. Each piece of apparatus con- sisted of two iron rods about two feet long, connected by green telephone wire. When stuck in the ground, the rods were about eighteen feet apart. In the center of the wire a telephone receiver was at- tached Proceeding about 100 feet from the house the party decided to experiment. Each of the sets of the apparatus was connected with the earth, the iron rods sinking in the soft ground to a depth of eighteen inches.
 "Begin" shouted MT. Stubblefleld to an operator in the window of the inn. In an instant there was a buzzing In each of the receivers held by members of the party, divided into two groups, one around each section of the apparatus on the shore. The message was received by two mem- bers of the party first. Others took turns at the receiver. They all heard audible sounds, and distinguished words and sen- tences emitted from one of the receivers. The operator within the house played sev- eral popular airs upon an harmonica. The strains came through the receiver to the ear of the listeners.

AN EPIDEMIC OF HANcINos.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 It Is a curious feature of the working of justice in Mississippi that whereas for several years past 1t has been the state where lynchings have been most frequent this year thus far not a single case of lynching has occurred there. Judge Lynch seems to have surrendered his functions to the regular courts of justice, which are providing the gallows with remarkable number of victims, black and white. Nine. seven white and two color ed, have been hanged since January 1. Tn one day, the 11th instant. there were four hangings. one in each corner of the state. During the next few days there will be several more, and no lees than score are booked for the gallows during the next sixty days.
 The state Is in the midst of an epidemic of hanging. and the law-abidng people approve of it, as they believe it will ex- ert a deterrent influence on the criminal classes.
