Good Mrs. Porter's already perturbed
mind was greatly exercised next morn

that as Martha's mother had now quite

But after her husband had departed
for the city Mrs. Porter wavered and
felt her courage leak away every time
she looked towards the bell. Her moth
erly heart sympathized with the girls.
She knew how hard servitude must be
for them. Still, she realized also that
no sense of pity for others should pre-
vail upon her to tolerate any circum-
stances which spoiled her home life.
She delayed from moment to moment,
however, finally going into her con-
servatory in the hope that little quiet
pottering among her plants would re-
store her mental balance. She had been

DANGER POINTS.

The declared purpose OF the Commission
ers 10 require street railway companies
using rapid transit to place watchmen at
points where they intersect will receive
pronounced public approval To the COM
panies 1t means simply au additional ex-
pense of few hundred dollars a year,
but the people are interested to the ex-
tents of their lives and limbs. The necessity
for such watchfniness Is as urgent ut these
intersections at the grade crossings of
streets where street railwa y tracks are
intersected by the tracks OF the steam
railroads. In fact, the need of watch
man is. if anything. greater at the street
railwa y intersections for they are not
protected gates or bars, and unless some
one is constantly on she lookout, the danger
or collision of street cars. of collision with
vehicles and OF injury To PEDESTRIANS Is
never excluded.
Special reference has been made in the
controversy to the proposed regulation

are comparaiiyely narrow, traffic is Very
lively. and for q part of the day people
are going to and from the market. There
is more leeway at the intersection OF
these roads at Ninth street and Pennsyl-
vania avenXe. yet there, too, watch
man would seem to be as necessary as at
the intersection of the Capitol Traction
Company's lines two blocks farther east
A point at which a watcbman is urgently
needed is at Fourteenth street and New
York avenue, for there the METROPOLITAN
crosses the Coiumbia's tracks, and the situa-
ton is stiIl further complicated by the
Capitol Traction Company's Fourteenth
street tracks.
- Thefe ma y be other places where watch
men are desirable. but each OF those named
above undoubtedly requires the services
OF man night and day. The objection
raised by President Phillips that 1t is
the business Of the police to guard these
places Is utterly absurd. The least the
companies can do in return for the valuab lie
franchises they enjoy is to safeguard the
people against accident so far as it lies
In their power to do SO.
