VENTILATION ON THE 81" RAILROADS.

To EDITOR HERALD
wish to make small growl against the elevated
railroads, and 1t is the all-mportant subject of
ventilation. AS regular traveller the roads l.
with others. am very much annoyed and at times
almost sickened by the foulness of the atmosphere
the present state of public sentiment railroad
pany should give little attention to ventilation.
The windows in the roof to be of little or no
count. When open the coal gas and cnders come in,
and when closed. which they often are, there
is no one to open them. Is 1t not possible to
allow the heated and foul air to pass of and at the
same time not admit drafts coal gas-sometbiug
similar to the ventilators used large cars The
trouble is that any system of ventilation requiring
the attention of brakemcn conductors is about as
bad ventilation at all. II is to be hoped that
before another winter comes around some i'm
provement will be made in the ventilation of these

call for nve-twentics made by the Treasury and
partly to the small supply. The announcement that

WAS 1T A MISTAKE?

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
Is it not shame that the New York east side I'll"
should practise such mean trick to cheat resi-
dents of Harlem in the way it does every day by
taking down its Ave cent sign and charging
at twenty-six minutes after o'clock? This it
did on the morning of the 25th. Several gentlemen
looked at their watches. with the above result The
other day was given what afterward found was a
five cent ticket and charged ten cents. All this
at the 125th street station. READER.

make gloves stockings and other articles of
spiders webs, but they yielded SO little profit
and necessitated SO much trouble that the man-
