To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Would you mind calling the attention Of
the management of the Brightwoed railroad
to much-needed reform? have seen, on
these cars, on a number Of occasions-the
last one was car leaving eth street and
Boundary at 1912 last Saturday-drunke
and boisterous men. Not long ago drunk
en- white n an Oh one Of these cars was very
loud, profane and obscene in his talk. On
some of these sprees the mouth is not only
at work, but the armssas we'll, wildly ges-
ticulating. While on the street car subject,
it is interesting to note Of late years how
really polite and courteous the conductors
Of all street car lines have become, and 1t
occurs to the writer, why cannot the police
men be likewise upon all occasions except
when making arrests and quelling riots.
Upon coming out of the Baltimore and Ohio
depot the other day rested myself upon
the wooden railing, waiting for street car
In an instant a policeman approached me
in very domineering manner and shouted
Get off there!' in about the same tone any
one would speak to dog. L. B. r,

Mr.. Cummings told many amusing an
ecdotes Of Mr.. Greeley's early stay in the
metropolis, where he was the butt of ridi-
Guile on account of his tow head and home
ly clothes, but where he remained always
the same amiable. emerge tic and untiring
country lad bent upon making his way. He
abhorred liquor and tobacco, and early be-
came an advocate of temperance. He had
varying fortunes with attempts to estab-
lish newspapers, but finally landed on his
feet when the Tribune was well under
way.
Speaking of Mr.. Grecley's later life, Mr.
Cummings said in his old age he exploited
many theories. most Of them chimerical
and this no doubt served to weaken his
grip on the public Mr.. Cummings devoted
some time to describing the stirring events
succeeding the close Of the civil war, when
Mr.. Greeley's course brought down upon
his head the anathemas Of his party. Mr.
Cummings declared that the bailing of Jeff
Davis, then the most condemned and I'M
popular act of Mr.. Greeley, is today re-
garded as his most magnanimous.

Turning Point in, Hi. Life.

The turning point it his life came when
he was thirteen years old and entered the
printing office of Amos Bliss at Poultney,
VT, as an apprentice. He was bound out
for five years, during which he worked
hard at his case, improving his mind the
while and sci ding his meager earnings to
his father, who was now struggling to clear
another farm in the weeds PENNSYLVANIA
He derived much pleasure and benefit from
the public library at Pouitney and eXer-
cised his taste for composition by setting
up original para graphs for the paper. his
sion and kept him from the allurements
of a life of pleasure at this time. There
was one thing about the young apprentice
however, a habit which stuck to him all
through life: He was luridly and pictur-
esquely pi ofane.
At the beginning of the fifth year of his
apprenticeship the paper for which he
worked failed and he started for Pennsyl-
vania, where he remained at bis fathers
house to recover from an illness. The next
lew months were hard times for young
Greeley, as work was scarce in that por-
ton OF the country and the pay was poor
Finally he gave up the effort there and
started for the metropolis, going down the
Hudson river on a towboat. He landed at
the Battery in New York with just $40 in
his pocket and engaged board in saloon
at $3.50 per week. His first few months
in New York city was a period of struggle
and marked by poverty and privation

IN InsntfnbIe Thirst Tor Knowledge.
Greeley had an Unsuitable thirst for knowl-
edge. He read the newspaper which his
father took, but which only served as slim
illus to his intellectual appetite He secured
the country for seven miles around for
books, and read everything he could borrow
He chung to his book at all times, whether
on an errand to the cellar the woodpile or a
neighbor's. Like Lincoln, many thousand
miles away, he filled the fireplace with pine
knots and spent long evenings reading.
When eleven years old he read Shakespeare
thoroughly. At this time he was very poor,
living on half-cleared farm in Vermont
and working with his father clearing the
land. With his brothers and sisters he
made the principal meal Of the day on bean
porridge, the children sitting on the floor
around a fve-quart pan, eating from the
same dish. His mother testified that it cost
not more than three dollars year to clothe
