THE ATTENTIVE CONDUCTOR.
1t was noticeable that the conductor was Q
particularly gallant man. As the car turned to
make the circumbendibus of the next circle
he assisted a fairy-like creature in plum-col-
ored velvet to board the rear platform with .
slight and well-calculated squeeze. There
could have been no objection to this, inasmuch
AZ he bestowed similar attention upon every
woman below a certain age. A stout and
motherly old thing with bundles, who hailed
him at the crossing, was obliged to hoist herself
aboard without assistance

Those who failed to hear the illustrat-

Town hall, Friday night, missed an en-
joyable evening. The Illustrations were
large and distinct and were brought out
clearly by the oxy-hydrogel light, ma
nipulated by j. Il. MacAlpine. The adj
dress by Mr. Baldwin on Stanley in Afri-
ca was well delivered, concise and lucid,
a fine portrait of the strong and rugged
features of Stanley being thrown on the
screen. At the opening of the Civil War,
Stanley enlisted in the Southern army,
was taken prisoner and promised liberty
if he would serve in the Union navy. He
accepted. He began exploring by going
to Crete as special correspondent of the
New York Herald, continuing this work
in Abyssinia and Spain; was then COM
missioned by James Gordon Bennett to
go to the heart of Africa to find Living
stone. He determined, upon the death
of Livingstone, to begin the work begun
by him in African exploration. While in
America, in 1886, he was called to Europe
to take charge of the Emin Pasha relief
expedition, the last and greatest effort of
Stanley's life. Three years after leaving
England, he reached Zanzibar, with 225
of the 700 men he took out; of the 514
that had been rescued, only about half
continued with him till the end of the
journey.

plans for the bridge at the station, de-
scribed in the BEE months ago, provide
for approaches of gradual ascent, with
cut stone retaining walls, foot paths and
ornamental ratings. There will be three
spans of the bridge; one from the end of
the southern approach to piers just south
of the tracks, another to similar pier
across the tracks, the third from this
pier to the abutment of the northern APP
proach. The present driveway on the
south of the station will be maintained
and improved rumor says that it will be
extended to the Mill Plain crossing. On
the north, a similar roadway will be
built to the same crossing While max
ing the extensive alterations required by
the change in grade at Bridgeport, it
will be necessary to do deal of switch
ing in Fairfield and this is doubtless the
reason why the road wishes to buy j. d.
