His Columns His Stock in Trade.

Few business men have more to
contend with than the editor. The
only means the editor has of ma ing
living for himself and family is by
selling space in the columns of his
paper. His newspaper columns are
the same to him as the shelves of
dry goods are to merchant. No
one thinks OF asking the merchant to
give him dry goods from his shelves,
but few they are who hesitate to
ask the editor to give them few

GOING AT GREAT SPEED.
One Passenger Was inclined to Pull
the Alarm Cord.

London, July S.-The London news
papers this morning again keenly dis
cuss the causes of the disaster to the
Plymouth express train, and the ru-
mOrs of speed competition. Great at
tention is devoted 10 the evidence of
George A. Strachan of Boston, Mass.
in a published Interview, to the effect
that the speed of the train was SO great
that he had a strong inclination to pull
the alarm cord. but that on the advice
of friends he refrained from doing So
According to the Standard, the Amer
lean consul at Southampton, Mr.
Swain, made the novel suggestion
based on the fact that high speed pro-
dUces a cushion of compressed air in
front of a swiftly moving train that
this air resistance between engine and
the houses rising above the bridge may
have been sufficient TO raise the front
of the engine slightly and cause it to
leave the rails on the curve.
