Street-Car Etiuuetfc.

EDITOR CRITIC: A number of COM
plants from ladies on the various evils
of the day have been ventilated in your
columns, and, in several cases, the men
have come in for severe scoring. But
the ladies are not entirely blameless in
their public conduct. A short time since
L gave my seat in the street-car to
woman who was so homely that pitied
her and said to myself that she never
would get a seat unless gave it to her.
She jumped into it like a shot, settled
herself complacently and did not even
look her thanks for the accommodation.
Presently there was vacancy next to
her and she spread herself over it in
the mysterious manner peculiar to
women and held the fort successfully
until a male companion came and re-
lieved her.
Now l never yet regretted a courtesy
shown to lady, but do regret the waste
of gallantry incident to that occurrence.
Ladies are entitled to all the respect
and consideration that can be shown
them, but in return they should show
that they are ladies, or at least that they
have some ambition to become such.
| There are lots of other women who dis
courage politeness, and if their numbers
continue to increase the men will become
so completely calloused that they will sit
with both feet on the cushion, while some
kindfaced, motherly old lady is swinging
madly from the brake handle on the rear
platform. And Heaven forbid such q
state Of affairs or anything like it.

WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY,
Tho New CItx Postnmoo.


EDITOR CMuo One good reason
why the City PostoiIice should be
near the Postofiice Department build
ing is that strangers may not be-
as / know they certainly are, misled
in respect to the location of the former.
They naturally go first to the General
Postoflice for their letters, under the fair
presumption that all of the business of
the postoffice in the city is conducted
there. Thisis an important consideration,
affecting the people from all parts of the
country, from abroad as well as at home
Other essential advantages consist in the
saving of no small sum annually in the
transportation of the immense quantities
ofmail matter, including blanks, locks and
KEYS, etc, sent out from the General De-
partment, and the receipt of postmasters
returns, dead letters, etc, in still greater
quantity, perhaps, constantly acoumu-
lating. In my estimation there is no
weight whatever to the objection that
having the City Postoilice in the same
building with the General Office might
cause confusion. True, the business of
the one is distinct from that of the other;
but there Is no more reason for conflict
between them than between any two of
llt U'lltuNh VI lllt
The Senate bill, unanimously passed TO
secure square 406, should be enacted into
q law at once. The rent of the buildings
upon that square, added to what the
Government now pays for City Post
office and other buildings, would pay q
good interest on the purchase money.
Here, if necessary, the Government might
rest for years, simply by erecting one
story building on the space occupied by
Eighth street, between Il ana II streets,
the cost of which need not exceed $1,000
at the utmost. The mail in bags should
be received and delivered on Il street,
and the general receipt of letters and box
delivery on + street, as formerly. Room
for the accommodation of the Postmaster,
Treasurer, Money-0rder, and Letter Reg
istry offices could be chosen in the lie
Droit building answering every purpose.
The work on the extension of the main
building should first begin on the corner
of Il and Ninth streets, where, or on the
corner of f and Ninth, the city office
could be removed as soon as that part OF
the structure could be put in a condition
to receive it. HoRATIo KING.

IN MEMORIANI.

With George Douglass died one of the
most versatile minds that this city, the
mausoleum of talent, ever harbored. He
was an intellectual marvel. At nineteen,
graduate Of college; at twenty, an ed-
itor; at his majority, one of the brightest
stars in the journalistic constellation. He
adorned whatever he touched and clothed
each naked thought in robes of classic
beauty. Faults he had. God forbid that
/ should shame the spirit which in life
so abhorred all shams by making him
ilawless figure. But there was nothing
in him small or mean, and his faults were
those of high and noble nature.
As the sand in the hour-glass of his life
ran low he received the viaticum and exc
treme JUNCTION, and when his physician
told him that his very hours were num-
bered he murmured, "All is we'll" Then,
with smile on his lips like the dawn of
q vernal day, he fell into a dreamless
sleep that kissed the eyelids still. To
gaze at him lying there so tranquil, so
peaceful, so calm, made one feel in love
with death.
In his life there never lived a gentler
or manlier man. In his death one could
say, while looking at the chiseled clay
through binding tears, "Thou camest
into the world weeping, while all around
thee were smiling, and hast so lived that
thou leavest the world smiling, while all
about thee are in tears" He is gone, our
true and tried friend,
"And the fever called living
Is conquered at last"

At Evansville, Ind, on Thursday,
Louis Richter shot and killed his cousin,

Henry O. Parker, a New York provision

at night. The cost of a trip on a
private car would be:
The rent Of tie private car for two
Fifteen fares at siGO each...........,, 2dO0
PROVISIONS for the trip...........,,... 800
Total. $1,000
Thus the cost Of private party
would be $4,000, or an average Of
S562.50 for each person. Twenty-fiye
dollars more paid by each person
would give all the extra comfort. The
car would be fitted up in any style YOU
wanted, and you could carry all the
books--your own--and baggage YOU
wanted without any additional charge.
If there were ten persons in the party
hotels would be about $4,000, while on
private car the only additional ex-
pense for the two extra persons would
be the extra cost of provisions, which
500 would easily cover, making it
$1,000, or $460 each person, saving
of $140 for each person.
1t is becoming proper for parties
who wish to travel for few weeks to
hire private car. They get more
comfort than could otherwise be OBJ
tanned. They are more independent,
the journeys are more enjoyable, and
travellers may do as they wish. In q
private car one can have comforts
only equaled in home, and which
can never be found in the hotels OF
this country. Colonel w. d. Mann,
the president of the Mann Boudoir
Car Company, thinks that travelling in
private cars is going to be very popu-
lar in the future. He says: "a num-
Der of wealthy gentlemen are consid-
ering the advisability of having their
own private car. They are beginning
to see that they can travel with more
comfort and with very little, if any,
more pxpense"
