ton but perSiStency seems to be their
Jewel, and no cOaXing has thus far been
able to induce them to deSist.
mot less than 500 complaints against
the practice of smoking on these plat

instructions were given that while

the rights of lady passengers should be
respected in this matter.
But it seems useless to reason with
some people, and those who have been
requested not to smoke on the platforms.
and i'll many cases they have been repre-
sentative business men going to their
homes or coming down town to their
counting rooms, have resented this in
reference as an invasion of their rights
and kept on smoking"
