cessful effort amchoratc the condition OF cabmeu
and to afford them of comfort and relief
from tho hardshps necessarily entacd by the lie Of
exposure which they lead and the constant pcrils Of
the streets which they have to brave in all wcathers

consideration OF the sunerings OF such necessary
wants OF the community our cabmen are and out oi
the fuincss other means she applied herself to find

nature but very satisfactory to those for WHOSE
benefit It Is intended In these shelters, coffee al

any ''cabby" may have his dinner. consisting Of chol
steak, cooked while he is all the time within ear
shot Of any person who may require his services.
These shelters" arc now under the management OF
a regularly constituted society, ana bid fair to be
prime means of reforming and bcnedting race OF
public servants who have at present by no means
high place in the estimation OF the community.
