THE PEOPLE AGAINST TROLLEY.

Objections in Philadelphia to the Introduce
tion of the System In the City Streets.
In continuation Of the peoples fight against
the trolley system largely attended mass
meeting was held in the eighth ward Of Phila-
delphia last night at which well-known citizens
uttered protests against the introduction into
the city of a provincial and dangerous system
OF transit well as against the control OBJ
tanned by the Traction Company over the city
councils. The chairman of the meeting, Mr..
Morton p. Henry, in his opening address de-
clared that the sentiment Of the people would
be triumphant and the trolley monster"
be given a death blow
A resolution was adopted that as 'sThe opera
ton of passenger railways by the overhead
electric trolley system has been found in
closely builtup and thickly populated locali-
ties to be dangerous alike TO life, limb and
property, VIC hereby express and reiterste
our decided and unyielding opposition to any
consent being given by the councils of the city
to the use OF the streets by passenger railway
companies for the erection Of polos and run
ming wires and propulsion OF cars BY tho over
head trolley electric SYSTEM
Col Wendell I. Bowman, in speech to the
meeting, said: 1t IL most proper that our
homes should be represented here in the
strongest manner. 1t is q provincial system
ind il in outlying districts, in country towns,
in watering places and the like, but II has
never been permitted to be introduced into any
city of the size of Philadelphia. Why should
We allow it here? Here. a city Of homes? Why
should we receive this hydra-headed monster
with hundreds of deadly wires in the heart Of
the city?'
stephen Farrely, one Of the speakers, said:
''Why should Philadelphia submit to the worst
Of ali means OF rapid transit the trolley? 1
have been exssperated at the way our citizens
listen with indifference to the proposition to
utterly ruin our city. Boston and Brooklyn
both have the trolley system and both are
vigorous in utterly denourcing that method Of
transportation
II was on the car in Atlantic City when the
wires broke and the passengers flew in terror
from the deadly wires. Another was blown
over the rear end OF the cur and killed aud yet
the experts Of the Traction Company cay there
is no danger"
The Anal speaker was George W. Norris, who
characterized the trolley system as mere

Questions for Anybody to Answer.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Why are canned peas such poor vegetable
to cat, when green peas are one of the best Of
the summer season, that is. green peas Of the
champion or marrowfat variety? Are the good
varieties never canned? Why is our market
filled nearly the whole year round with string
beans not worth cooking, when the cranberry
and horticultural beans make delicious dish
and are very easily raised? These last are sold
sometimes as ''cut shorts" Why are Goldfish
sold as ''boneless, when the cutting out Of the

or course she was provoked when he
passed her on the street without stopping
to speak To her. He lifted his hat, IL is
true, but she recalled the time when he
would have turned and walked several
blocks with her, no matter how pressing
his business. Hadn't they been sweet
hearts few years beforoY Why should
the fact that they had not met for three
years so change him? Ought he not TO be
the more pleased to see her?
The more she thought OF IL the more
she felt that ne should have paid her some
little attention, il only for the sake OF old
times, and when she reached home she
was so angry that she resolved to make
him repent his slight.
The next day he received the following:
Mr.. FILKINs-I believe you have pho
tograph of me-one that gave you sew
eral years ago in a moment OF girlish fol-
ly. i have since regretted that was so
thoughtless in such matters. / will esteem

She held that it was cutting note, and
that IL would bring him TO his senses IL
anything would. She told her best friend
that she had brought him up with n round
turn, but she didn't tell her best friend
anything about the following reply which
she received:
Miss DEANE-If you insist, OF course !
will do as you wish, but it will be a great
deprivation TO the baby. The little fellow
is passionately fond OF pictures, and for
nearly six months the photograph OF you
has been regarded as his especial property.
Still, my wife says she will take 10 away
from him IL you really need il.
Very truly,
ALBERT FfLKINs.
She didn't even send for il. She didn't
even bow to him when she next met him
on the street. She didn't do anything but
wonder when he was married and why she
was SO foolish.-Chicago Tribune.
