The New Railroad Bill and
Its Amendments.
When Freight Was Carried
on the Street Railways.
What Legislator Says Of New Mu-
nicipal Election Law.

One or the three amendments made to
the bill which authorizes change from
steam to electric power on railways in
this State, which was passed by the Gen.
eral Assembly yesterday is one which pro-
hibits ell railroads from carrying freight
under the new statute, which did not
have the right TO do SO unlssr the old
law. The purpose of this provision Is Of
course to prevent the Union Railroad
Company from going into the freight car
rying business on its trolley lines, though
It Is very doubtful whether that company
had even the suspicion OF an intention of
doing such a -tAiHg Ae- amendment
satisfies those who are suspicious OF every
measure relating 10 railroad corporation,
however plainly ii may be in the interest
and for the promotion and comfort OF
the travelling public and gives them the
sat atisfaction of thinking they have accom-
pllshed something by their needless OBJ
jections. 1t will not, however, interfere
with the carrying OF freight on the Oak
land Eeach or the Providence, Bristol
and Fall River branches when they be-
come trolley roads as now seems veryprob-
able, for the Union Company will take
all the privileges of the present corpora
tion and among those is the right to
transport freight.

Nerves are weak, many people say,
and yet they do not seem TO know
that they are literally starving their
nerves. Weak, pale, thin blood cam
not give proper sustenance - that is
why you are nervous, tired, exhausted.
The cure for this condition is to
purify, vitalize and enrich your blood.
Take Hoods Sarsaparilla fairly and
faithfully, and the rich, red blood,
which IL makes, will soon feed the
nerves the elements of true strength
they require; they will cease their agi-
tation and will resume their proper
