SAVED BY NARROW MARGIN.
Railroad Official Owes Life to Pres
ence of Mind.

Mr.. j. Floyd, the stationmaster at
the Kent House station OIL the South
Eastern and Chatham railway, had
the narrowest of escapes from a ter
rible death quite recently. He was
crossing the metals, When the Dover
express came rushing through. There
was no time to turn back, and with
great presence of mind ne dashed for
the down platform and flung himself
headlong on it. He cleared the eX-
press all but the heels of his boots,
whici. were struck by the engine and
ripped away, the boots themselves
being torn in two and pulled off and
carried some yards by the train, be-
ing eventually found on the metals.
The stationmaster himself was prac-
tically unhurt, though stunned by his
fall on the platform, and with his feet
bruised and swollen and cut by the
bootlaces as the boots came away

Salt Lake Herald. The transmission

that it is possible to print the worlds

Of foreign events. There is really very
little for the morning papers to do but

the evening journals the preceding
day. The morning paper is necessar-
lily confined to a limited circle. The
entire working class and The women
busy in the homes to see the men OF
to work or the children to school, have
no time for the paper in the morning.
They naturally go to the evening pub
ncation for the news and the advertise
ments, since their time to read is the
evening, and not the morning. The
leisure class, the business man who
goes late to his Office, hastily peruse
b morning papers, but that is q limit
Cd class. The evening paper, there
fcse, naturally has become the paper
OF the people, the paper of the classes
upon which business men depend for
patronage. These facts are indisput-
able. Every modern invention that
has facilitated the transmission OF
news - rendered it what 1t II.

No General River And Harbor Bill

That Congress will not pass no general
river and harhor bill at the coming SEES
sion is the prediction of Representative
l.. e. Burton. of Ohio, chairman of the
House committee on rivers and harbors.
He assigns two reasons against such
legislation next winter. The first, he
says, is that a large bin was passed last
session, and it carried appropriations for
all projects, which, in the Judgment of
the committee, were deserving of immed-
late attention from Congress.
TN second reason is that it will be i'm
perative for the lawmakers to hold down
appropriations to the lowest figure in Or
der to prevent, if possible, another deficit
in the treasury. Some appropriations for
river and haTbor work will be made, but
for only such projects as are being car
ried on under the continued contract plan
and for which limit has already been
fixed
