Pennsylvania Officials Making
Preparations for Very
Heavy Business.
PASSENGERS COMPLAIN
CLAIM THAT ON SECOND CLASS
! TICKETS SHOULD BE ALLOWED
TO RIDE IN FIRST CLASS
PULIMANS.

The Pennsylvania officials In this
city are already making preparations
for the coionist travel for the coming
spring, and heavier business is look
ed for than in any previous year, al
though Wayne county and surround
ing communities have always furnish
ed more than their quota to the colo
mist traffic.
The bulk of such traffic will be han.
died during the months of March and
April. Each year about seventy five
persons buy colonist tickets at the 10
cal station, for points in Texas, Okla
homa, New Mexico, Arizona and Cali
fornia. The tickets sold, however, call
for only second class passage, but be.
tween Richmond and the coast fifteen
to eighteen dollars can be saved on
car fare. The tickets do not provide
for sleeping cars but holder of sec
ond class tickets may by paying the
full Pullman fare ride in a second
class Pullman car.
Considerable complaint has been
heard by those who have made the
second class trips, they saying that
those persons paying full Pullman
rates should get better class of cars to
ride in as the result. Owing to the
understanding between the railroads
offering the colonist rates, the Pull
man company is allowed to charge the
full Pullman rate, which will average
between twenty five and thirty cents
per hundred miles, for passage on sec
ond class and sometimes cast of Pull
man sleepers.
Several Richmond people have. al
ready expressed their intention of pur-
chasing colonist tickets for the far
west. The majority of them, however,
will make the trip for pleasure and
not for any business purposes.

Since the world began there have
been written perhaps 100 supremely
goods works of fiction. Assume that
the first of these was the Had, now
about 5000 years old. One hundred
good stories in 5000 years is a story
every generation Since the battle OF
Waterloo. then, there have been rath-
er less than three of them. Probably
we are overstating the number rather
than the contrary. When you consider
the matter, three supremacy good sto-
ries in hundred years is very high
average.-Julian Hawthorne in New

that commissioners were worrying ov-
er his lack of luck In somewhat
lengthy note in reply he urged the
commissioners not to be down-hearted
but to look on the bright side OF

The disastrous results accompany
ing the floods in the Ohio Valley have
caused concern here in Washington.
1t is recognized that the cutting of the
forests has had much to do with the
annual recurrence of these floods, and
careful study of conditions Is beng
made in the hope that some means
may be found to prevent them. To this
end, it is probable that the principal
engineers in the country may be ask
ed to submit ideas. While no steps
yet have been taken. it is understood
that w. G. McAdoo, of New ork, who
conceived and superintendent the con-
struction of the great tunnel under
the Hudson river. will be among those
asked to submit an opinion. 1t is I'M
likely that Mr.. McAdoo will be able
to make a prompt report, for he is at
present at the Homestead hotel in Hot
Springs, Va, where he is taking the
mineral baths in an effort to recover
his health. which is not altogether sat
isfactory. He is reported to be making
rapid strides to a recovery, however,
and it is probable that he vii stop
here on his way back to New York
for conference with the proper OFF,
Gals. The immense loss in lives and
money chargeable to these annual
floods has stirred the administration
to the necessity for taking some deci
sive action.

Thunder, just because it is a noise
for which there is no visible cause, has
always excited the imagination of the
unscientific. One old writer explains
the belief of his day that "a storm is
said to follow presently when a COIL

on the ground that "a hogge is most
dull and of melancholy nature and
SO by reason doth forsee the rain that
cometh." Leonard Digges, in his
"Prognostication Everlasting" i1o56)
mentions that thunder in the morn
ing signifies wind, about noon rain
and In the evening a great tempest.

ing made as simple as possible, re-
