Rapid Transit Cars Stop Only on the
Near Side Of a Street.

Rapid Transit Cars Stop Only on the
Near Side Of Street.
One OF the most striking characteristics
of passel gers on the Metropolitan electric
cars. and particularly the riders of the
feminine variety. is the persistency with
which Trey attempt to stop the car on the
far side OF the street and the indignation
they express when the car takes them
rapidly on to the next corner. Every con-
ductor every day is visited with evidences
of displeasure caused by this compulsory
action on his part due entirely to the rigid
rules OF the District Commissioners, which
provide tnat all rapid transit street cars
must stop on the near side. except where
mechanical causes demand otherwise. 1t
Is we'll for the general public, especially
the ladies, to remember this and to indi-
cate their desire 10 leave the car, say IN
the middle of the block before reaching their
desired destination. When they wish to alight
at 18th street. for instance. when coming
down town notify the col ductor by press
ing the Ell ctr:c button just after leaving
18th. and when coming up do the same at
11th street. Then they'll save trouble and,
what's more, temper.

Suggests n Memorial Arch.

To the Editor The Evening Star:
Mr.. Watson of Ohio by introducing bill
in the House providing for the erection in
Washington Of a monument to the private
soldier has done e patriotic thing. which
should be carried to a successful accom-
plishment without further delay. 1t has
been thirty-one years since the grand re-
view in Washington, when our bluecoac IS
came to celebrate the rededicar;on of the
grandeSt mont the private soldier has
ever had erected to his courage and fidelity
the American republic restored. Since
that date We nave had memorials erected
to our generals until Washington leads ali
American cities in the number of it's stat
ues. but nothing has been done to comment
crate the sacrifices of the private soldier
He comes last on the list, and now that
We have reached him, let what is done for
him be best of all. Not statue, which
may be GRE statue among many, however
fine it may be- but let emorial arch be
erected to commemorate his deeds and his
dying. 1t will be the only one. and make
it of pure white marble, inscribed with the
names of the battles Of the war, by sea
and land. and let there be many statues
and carvings upon it of the soldier in all
| the phases of his hardshiDs and his glory
Let these be study in patriotic sacrifice
to our youth, and let the arch stand for
all time as lesson and glory.
Where such an arch should be best placed
might be hereafter determined-as a grand
the center of the White Lot, or on one of
the commanding emincnces to the north of
the city, might be suggested.
The appropriation of S2j00DO may not be
enough to build such memorial as is
worthy Of the private soldier, but there is
a grateful nation back of the treasury, and
whatever money is necessary will be forth
coming. w. j. HAMPTON.
