said prominent business man who lives
at Edgewood, "for calling attention to the
lack OF accommodation for the
passengers OF the Union Railway company.
1t seems wonder to me that the COM
pany has SO long ignored the
rights OF those who have made 1t
what IL Is today. Just think
OF It, compelling thousands to stand out
in the cold, the rain, the, sleet and the
snow daily during the winter at the
coldest of places in the city. The
corner opposite the Narragansett hotel Is
responsible for many colds that have
ended in pneumonia and death. 1t seems
to me that the company ought in decency
to provide waiting room there, and
hope that the other papers will take the
case up and agitate it. This Is not said
because have anything against the Union
Railroad company, for no one appreciates
more than do the magnificent facilities
they afford TO the people in this
city to get from section to
section, but dislike where
everything else is SO satisfactory to see so
grave and serious a blemish on an other
wise perfect work. The people ought to
be consulted as to their comfort and cer-
tainly the thanks of thousands would be
given il waiting room should be pro-
vided."
Red noses and turned up coat collars
are good deal better thermometers than

freezing when ice would feel warm TO the
touch.

clotheslines as stiff as boards. ! watched
a neighbor go out into his back yard this
noon and as he tried to get by the wash
line he had his hands full. The sheets
and pillow cases and all the other
ornaments of the clothesline with

partitions and even the sunshine refused
to aid this misguided man by reducing
the board like clothing to their proper
state of limpy Happiness.

Up to noon today the total registration
of voters exceeds that of corresponding
time last year by more than 1000. This does
indicate that the total registration of the
year will be much in advance OF the last
record, but it shows to a large extent that
the shutting down of mills and other es-
tablishments gives laboring men time to
visit city hall. Republican registry
voters should remember that now is the
time to register.
