That HaYtinn Cantain.

Rebel aud senli-pirate though he
was. the Ilaytian Admiral Killlck
seems to have been somewhat OF a
black hero. after all. The details Of
the destruction OF the Crete.a. Pievrot
gives to Killick what little honor there
was In the affair. He deliberately gave
up his life for his cause. and that Is
the highest sacrifice any man can make
for any cause, good or bad.
When the German commander de-
manded the surrender of his vessel, 1t
appears that Killick put his crew Off
the ship. drove 1t rs nearly alongside
>thc German gunboat as he could and
then fired tho magazine, hoping that
Its destruction would oycrwhclm his
enemy also. The plan failed. The
German drew away far enough to cs-
cape injury, and then turned its guns
on the burning hulk of the IInytian
vessel-a somewhat nglorious proceed
ing.
But there Is Il good deal Ia he said in
behalf of Il captain who will blow up
his ship AMI himself rather than buy
safety by surrcndcrlng her. no matter
how petty the flag he serves under

Is FAVORED
By Merchants in the Eastern Cities
Who Wish to Do Business
by Mail.

New York, Sept. 1.-THE friends
Of postal progress met here recently
and organized the American Postal
League, which els the successor of the
New York Postal Progress League.
The temporary officers are Colonel AL
cert A. Pope, president; William B.
Rowland, treasurer, and James L.
Cowles, secretary.
The league will endeavor to prevent
the increase of rates on any class OF
mail matter and to secure lower rates
on merchandise. This latter object is
tO be sought through what is known
IS the Pope merchandise post bill,
which provides for the consolidation
Of the second and third classes in pos
tai matter, including authors manu-
scripts, commercial papers, ETC., with
the extension of the limit of weight
to eleven pounds, and a. the following
rates: One cent for parcels up to
ounces three cents up to nine ounces,
four cents up to twelve ounces, five
cents up to a pound; for each addl-
-ional pound or fraction thereof, two
cents; on eleven-pound packages,
twenty-five cents. These rates are to
include house collection and insur-
ance up to the value of the article.
The rates are to carry insurance on
unregistered parcels up to $40. and on
registered parcels to $25. On more
valuable parcels the rate proposed is
two cents additional for each $50.
President Pope, speaking for his

rived here yet, but a search of the
records has been made and prece-
dents have been looked up. AS a re-
suit the department officials conclude
that the federal government cannot
aid the state in the protection of fisn.
A high official in the department

treaty for a joint hatchery was feast

congress and the Canadian parlia-

an arrangement between the state of
Washington and the Canadian gov

Clarke Comfy Has Immense Crop Of
Fine Quality.

Vancouver, Wash.-The prune crop
will be immense this season, and on
account Of the recent heavy rains
much Of the fruit will be damaged.
Mold has been noticed in many Or

.oss will be large from this cause
alone. The prures are falling badly
and trees have broken down with the
weight of fruit. Most all the fruit
men are preparing to commence
picking this week. From now until
October l there will be an army of
workers gathering the prunes and
drying them for market. When dried
they are taken to the prune packing
esta blishments, where they are graded
and packed in pound boxes
for shipment.
About fifty new driers have been
built in Clarke county this year, all
Of larger capacity than those built
in the past. The old ones have been
rebuilt and improved. AS yet the
price to be realized seems to be an
unknown quantity. Not many con-
tracts are made in advance. the
Clarke county prunes are excellent
in every particular and command the
highest price, which is usually to 5
cents. Preparations are being made
for planting a large additional acre

ing fall and winter. This is the nat
ural home Of the prune, and eastern
people who come here and see the
trees with their wealth of beautiful
fruit are astonished. Many tracts
being sold to those who intend to
plant out trees.
