| The tallest public man In town. His
hair has grown white and 80 has his
moustschs, hut his manner shows no sign
| of change. He Is frequently seen upon
Westminster street with his friend the
ex-Msyor of Pswtuckst and . former
member of the original Little Old Cor
man Band" which made famous trip to
"Lowell, Lynn and Boston,"a Little But
tercup remarks $50 many years ago." The
commanding stature OF the subject Of this
pen sketch marks him ~ . leader of men,
q general, an organizer, promoter and .
politician, all of which he u. No one ever
accused him OF mean act. IL
he was "agin" you he would
always let you know 1t and
fight fair and square In q political
battle. After IL II was all over II he hap
pened to get the worst of 1t, which was
very seldom, he took his medicine and
said nary word. At present he is law
yer and q successful one, his advice and
efforts being indispensable In certain lines
of work. No one will have to gaze long
at this hurried photo without recognizing

The situation at Pullman.
According to Governor Altgeld who, in
company with two of the officials of the
Pullman Company made visit to the
town Of Pullman to investigate the con-
dition OF the starving employees, immedi-
ate relief Is necessary. How different
from year ago. What sad commen-
tary on the result OF employing radical
means to adjust differences between
employee and employer. But, OF
course, arguing the matter now
Is not the thing to do.
Feed the women and children who are
the innocent sufferers, and then argue the
matter afterward. What a splendid op-
portunity is offered for the labor organ
izations to suspend for time the salaries
paid to their leaders and apply the money
to help their starving brothers and
sistersl There Is no doubt but that Mr..
Pullman In the name of humanity would
supplement such proceeding with sub
stantial token OF his approval. A nickel
piece from those to whom Mr.. Debs
could make an appeal would avert the i'm
pending danger Of actual suffering.
The Industrial Trust Company building
can lay claim TO having oil the necessary
adjuncts which go toward making up q |
metropolitan edifice. Up on the top fioors
the last room in the building was let the
other day to gentleman who |
transformed it into q lunch room |
of the dairy order SO prevalent in |
very large cities. He obtains his |
pastry and bread from Tillinghast's
and in tasty and inviting way serves
in generous quantity when the |
nominal 5-cent rate Is considered. He |
uses decorated China and his coffee Is |
simply delicious. 1t is great accommo-
dation for the occupants OF the building
and they take advantage OF it. The room
Is light, Is away from the dust and tur-
moil OF the street and neatness and
prompt service is q feature of this place
Tor light, satisfying, quick lunch way
np in the sky-scraper. One patron re-
marked that he was glad to lind neat
place where he could get little some
hing that was nice to eat without pay
ing "big something" for it. Ample
elevator service makes the place accessible
% the general public.
They died for love.
Day before yesterday a tragedy was en-
lcted in beautiful Central Park, New
York. A woman and a man agreed to
prove their infatuation for one another by
eeking death in the style read about In
he up-to-date novels of the day or as far
back as Romeo and Juliet's time. They
that they were free think
RS and that this life had lost its charms
low foolish. And when you come to
hink of 1t, was 1t love or dyspepsia?
: was as liable to be one as the other and
he verdict OF the great majority OF people
Who read the account OF the affair in the
,apers Is: "They will never be missed"
Curbstone gossip.
"Wonder how many people the income
ax will affect in Provideuce?" What
lind Of front are they going to put on
he Boston Store?" "When will thew LET
he water into the lake at Roger Will ms
'arkY "Who Is to be the dark horse In
he Congressional racer" "What will
he strike amount to In Massachusetts?o
How many votes will be cast for Demo-
racy this fall?" "If they will have fine
yeather for the State Fair next month";
How long it will be before something
appens out of the ordinary In the city?''
The popularity of The NEWS increases
> the days go BY" "Why pedestrians
hink they have any rights In front of a
ew building"
A credit to the State.
