was equally right to grant it to all.

The Union Depot was as cold as barn last
evening" with no strips on to cover the OPEN
ings between the boards. The wind howled
through the dingy place, driving the little heat
out and making everybody shiver. The com
plants of people waiting on trains were deep
and long. The little children suffered the most
from the cold. Everybody tried to hug the
four fireplaces but it was no USE The need
for new station has been demonstrated long

Even the nightly loafer couldn't stand the icy

When the station is not cold it is usually too
hot. and the odor that results from bad yentl.

A VERY MYSTERIOUS VISITOR.
Saloonkeepers Out Penn Avenue Talk to the
strange Young Man.

strange Young Man.
Saloonkeepers out Penn avenue and through
out Lawrenceville are somewhat mystified over
the action of young man who visited them
during the past week. The man in question
was rather well dressed and intelligent looking
He visited each saloon where the proprietor is
an applicant for a continuance of his lie ense
and made numerous inquiries about the place.
The young man was also around with a map
which he consulted and at frequent intervals
made numerous marks thereon. The size of
the dining room, barroOm and other questions
were asked, but no attempt was made by HIM
to secure money as far as heard from.
At one place he stated that he was securing
the information for the Judges who desired to
use it during the license court. Some of the
dispensers of beverages thought the young man
might have been securing data for the Law and
Order Society. At any rate his visit has cre-
ated great deal of talk.
