one generation are the necessaries OF the
next. but this closing 10Th century can
beat that for the luxuries or one decade
are the necessrres OF the next. As an
illustration. notice the demand for elec-
trical goods. The eiec ric fans that only
few years ago were a curiosity, now are
used in thousands OF offices and stores.
In this city during the past warm wave
there was "a biz demand for them and the
supply stores were completely cleared out.
One OF the gentlemen engaged in that
business, said thar he could not get
enough electric fans To meet the trade

The need OF a wel-handled Union
station was emphasizsd last night bj an
incident that was ludicrous TO the by
ISLANDERS, but very annoying To the
victim. A gentleman who had evidently
jumped off a hor sc car In great hurry
dashed into the Worcester side OF he
station and boarded a train just moving
out of the depot. He set his big grip
down on the platform aud pulled his
watch out OF his pocket, congratulating
himself that he had just made pretty
close connection. A secoid la er a brake
man appeared and the man asked him
quest ON, grasped his grip, swung OH
tne train aud turned with a start for the
otner end of the depot. He dashed wildly
through the restaurant, and saw the
New York train just gliding out OF the
depot. The grip was dropped uncere-
moniously and the way he eanathemat,zsd

The negligence OF property owners in
the matter of putting their premises In
reasonable sanitary condition is really
surprising. In some cases they can be
induced to comply with the law and the
requirements of the health department
Only by threats OF prosecution for main
tanning measures, and even then some OF
them act as though they had much
rather pay line than go TO the expense
of connecting their property with
sewer la the First ward there are sew
eral places that need the attention of the
health officers at once. Already the
odor arising from vaults that should b.
filled up finds its way into the streets,
where it nauseates passersby and makes
the living rooms OF neighboring houses
almost uuinhabtable.
