The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1893-12-09

And scared by some RELENTLESS blight
In solemn tones and huslcd
There comes a second. saider strain,
And as you hear IL now agaia,
or sad SCENES long ago
1t doth remind you so.
FINALE.
Songs though gay or grave they be,
AS they come tonight,
Welcome songs are they 10 inc,
For. in hasty flight.
Buried memories they disclose
Smiles for these and tears for those;
So I welcome all
As the night shades fall
Our own Chauncey M. Depew has dis
covered that at Monte Carlo the bank
gets all the money. Thus another illus 10 "a
OF our childhood shattered How often
have we been told of the "nian who broke
the bank at Monte Carlo"
I I +
notice that the United States Invcs-
tor has something to say on a matter that
interests great many Rhode Island
people. 1t says: "At the present timc
L
have been converted into New York, New
Haven and Hartford. We understand
that all the large holdings, with two ex-
ceptions, have been exchanged. the uncon.
verted stock being in the hands OF what
may be termed the average holder :.
Regarding the feelings OF the New York,
New Haven and Hartford management i'm
the matter, 1t is not going too far to say
that they are disappointed Mt the way
things have gone. Their regret over tho
unwillingness OF the Old Colony stock
holders TO convert their holdings into New
York, New Haven a Hartford stock is
heightened by the fact that they are out
q large amount OF money I'm consequence
OF being taxed twice. They are taxed i'm
Massachusetts on their Old Colony stock,
and in Connecticut they are taxed on tho
; capital stock of the New York, New Haven
Il Hartford, which of course, includes that
issued against the Old Colony deposited
for exchange. The New Haven people
expected that the Old Colony stock, held
by their road, would be accepted in Con-
necticut as an Offset to their
own stock issued against it,
but such is not the case. This
Is, OF course, an unenviable position for
the New York, New Haven and Hartford
road to be in and it is possible that it
may have an important bearing on the
future relations OF the road to the recall
citrant Old Colony stockholders"

The other night as entered an electric
car / saw dime on the floor. / looked at
1t as did half dozen other passengers.
No one seemed to claim it, when hustling
sort of chap boarded the car and his eye
lit on it. He picked it up, sung out
"whose dime is this" end getting no an
swer said findings keepings," and slid it
into his pocket as il it belonged there.
Somehow have felt ten cents short ever
since.
The rear door on one of the Pawtuxet |
electrics got stuck this morning and re- |
fused to open. The gate on the forward |
end of the car on the right hand side was |
removed and people desiring TO take |
the car were asked to use that door. Many |
couldn't understand why they shouldn't |
enter as usual and they got on the rcsr
platform. The car would start i'm motion
and when they tried to get inside they
discovered the folly OF knowing
1t all. They had TO stand on the
platform and wait for some other
passenger to signal the car and
then the meekness with which they
walked to the front end and entered was
amusing. About the same crowd of people
nse that car every morning and they are
acquainted with one another.
When one of the rear platform victims
would enter some one would inquire, .Prc-
fer outdoor riding? Nice view from
the rear.n The car was taken in
TO the car house on Thurbers avenue
and new car substituted. The change
vas very acceptable and the car that
brought us down town was warm.
. Warm car, heating them, hey?" one
after the other suggested, and then all
over the car arose discussion over the
question of heating street cars, and the
general impression was that it would be q
desired change.
