PAY FOR RURAL CARRIERS.

There is a great deal of agitation
fsvoring more remuneration for the
rural mail carriers. 1t is an outrage
to ask a man to give his entire time
purchase and feed three or four horses.
buy his own rig and work for the
measly stipend the government offers.
City mail carriers without the ex-
penses of the horses and rigs-get
much better pay. Senator McCumber
and Congressman Hanna of this state
have been strong advocates Of increas-
ed pay for the mail carriers, but 1t
remained for Congressman Elerbe of
South Carolina to rush into rhyme for
the carriers. He concluded a recent
speech in congress, as follows:
There was a young maid from Illaria,
Who was wooed by brave rural car
rier.
But she said we can't live
On the pay that they give,
And so the poor chap couldn't marry
her
But now the young girl of nlaria,
Asks us to remove this sad barrier.
She says one thousand per
Sounds all right to her,
And If he gets that he can marry her.

SURE SIGN Of SEA. DISASTER
When Fish Get Premon,tion Of Death

New York.-A report received by
wireless of miles Of dead fish near the
Diamond shoals, which was sent In
by Captain johnson of the steamship
MORO Castle, is causing much COM
ment among mariners. The slaughter
OF fish was generally attributed to an
earthquake. Later advices stated that
some OF the fish appeared to have
been broken in half by the force Of
the quake. The story caused South

information.
Captain Acheson, formerly of the
good ship photographer, which was
lost In a West Indian hurricane some
years ago, was among the callers.
Dead fish at sea. as a rule, mean
a hurricane or an earthquake" said
the former skipper. "This Captain
Johnson seems to have mistaken q
school of dead ones for a reef q mile
or so long, over which the waves were
breaking. Now there is a eason for
that. When fish get a premonition of
death they cling closely together.
I've seen a whole mile of them in
death, so that they appear to have
grabbed one another in a death
struggle.
There is a sure sign Of a coming
quake at sea. It's when you 9 a

I'll bet that If Captain Johnson had

Captain Wood, who had sailed the

c%orroborated the statement that fish

near being the end of the machine ana

at an elevation of about forty feet the
feed pipe broke, causing the motor to
stop abruptly. Had the machine been
higher up in the air it would have been
possible TO glide 1t to the ground with
out injury, but the distance was not
great enough, and for this reason the
machine fell down, snapped its steer
ing gear and sustained other injuries.
Lieut. Foulois escaped with severe
shaking up.
In the morning the machine during
its descent from its first flight came
near colliding with an automobile, and
only the presence of mind of the lieu
tenant saved both himself and the oc-
cupants of the car from serious injury
and possibly death.

machine is not reliable from any point
of view. In dirigibl the breaking
down of the motor is a small matter.
Repairs can be made without descend

NEW YORK. March 6.-The prosecu-

the county, has extended itself so that
its qualifications reach to the national
capital and the capitals of the states
of New Jersey and Illinois.
The indictments of the packers OBJ
tanned by Prosecutor Garven from the
grand jury of his county will mean the
extradition of the leading packers of
the country from Illinois TO New Jer-
sey unless their fight in the state and
federal courts to prevent such a re-
suit is successful.
Mr.. GarVen has discussed with Gov
ernor Fort of New Jersey the question
of making a requisition upon Governor
Deneen of Illinois for the accused men,
among whom are J. Ogden Armour,
Louis f. Swift, Edward Morris, Ed
ward Tilden, A. w. Armour, A.
Meeker and others almost as we'll

In Washington Representative Rob-
ert l.. Henry of Texas, a member of
the house judiciary committee, has in
troduced a bill that will, if passed,
make the packers fight against extra
dition exceedingly hard. 1t provides
that the demand of an executive au-
thority of one state upon that of an,
other state, accompanied by copy of
an Indictment or an affidavit, shall be
''indisputable proof for the authorities
