Terminal Facilities.

To the Editor Of the Proridcncc NciCs:
SIIi-The question is, whether or not our public
servants have been true TO their trusts and not what
are the best terminal facilities. The inconsistency
of some does not justify others in wasting public
property.
Trying to destroy the influence Of those who are
endeavoring 10 make a better government, without
mentioning those who are on trial for pursuing an
opposite course. does not appear hardly up TO your
standard OF desiring TO fair play"
believe with your paper, in protecting the indus
tries Of our country, and also believe the best way
TO accomplish IL is 10 keep the party honest.

The Lunch-Room of the Women's
Exchange to be Discontinued.

The lunch-room Of the Women's Ex-
change will be closed after to-day. The
reason given for this act is that the room
did not pay. 1t has been in operation for
four years, and since the first of March,
1890, has been located on the corner of Col
lege street and Market square. The
Women's Exchange will still be contin-
ued, and the food counters will be in op-
Grafton as before but the lunch-room
proper will not be maintained. 1t has af-
forded excellent cheap lunches TO business
men, but this, say the managers, was not
the purpose for which it was founded.
