Three Cent Fare for Boston.

BosToN, March ~. The joint legislative
committee on steret railways gave n hear.
ing this morning on the bill introduced
by Representative Keiiher of Boston. estab-
fishing a rate OF fare on the cars of the
West End Street Railway Company at
three cents per passenger. Representative
keliher opened the debate for the pc
titioners and said: 81 am credtably
informed that no street railway corpora
tion in the " orld enj o rs such monopoly
as Is enjoyed by this ,ompny. Ii was n o
competition In traffic that is ncces-
sarily enormous owing to the Topographic
cal peculiarities of the city. Today Ii is
demonstrated, and proof IN substantial
tion of what ] say will be presented to
this committee, the people of Boston
pay more and receive less than the people
of cities where more Is exacted OF the
companies in the way of taxation, street
improvements, ect., and competition is
greater"
A. A. Carleton, John J.. Rodden and
Thomas Pritchard, representing various
organizations, favored the bill.

Hearing on the Creation
of a Commission.
City Solicitor COlwell Asks
Passage of His Bill.
Mr.. Paine Advocates Commission
Appointed by Governor.

At o'clock this afternoon I he com
mittee on the judiciary of the House OF
Representatives gave a hearing on the
bill presented some time ago to create a
police commission TO take management
and charge of the police department OF
Providence.
The first speaker was City Solicitor
Colwell, who strongly urged the pass
age OF the Dill referred to the COMMITTEES,
which had been drawn by him by direc-
ton OF the City Council. bis argument
was substantially the same as that he had
presented at previous hearing held
couple OF weeks ago.
Ex-Councilman Clarke addressed the
committee, advocating the creation OF a
board of commissioners who in addition
to having full and absolute control OF the
police department should also have dele
gated to il all license matters. III this
were done the efficiency OF the force
would, he believed, be increased, and
much unlawful work which now goes on
would be stamped out and suppressed.
Mr.. Clarke believed that the commission
should be elected by the City Council OF
Providence.
Mr.. Charles Edward Paine made very
strong and pertinent address in which he
strongly urged the passage OF bill that
would provide for the creation of police
con- mission such at that now in the
management and control OF the Boston
police department. This commission
should not, in his opinion, be elected
by the City Council, but should be APP
pointed by the Governor, who, being
free from local political influences, would
he likely to select only men well quail
fled for the position and who would ad-
minister departmental affairs entirely in
the interest of the public. In addition to
having the control OF the police the com-
missioners should have the granting OF
al licenses.
License matters are, he said, intimately
connected with police matters and
a commission controlling the police
can see that the provisions and re-
strictions of every license are
strictly obs served. Furthermore it will
ea ier to hunt down ahd punish psople
who carry on business without a license.
Of that there could not be question.
DIR. Abbott was the next speaker and he
advocated the pacing OF the police depart
ment on military basis entirely snd
solning the chief and deputy responsible
or its proper admio istration. lie would
ssve no comm issiGn at all, believing that
competent chief could direct the police
force as succ, ssfully and es satisfactorily
as a General dire is his army.

Care should he Taken Not 10 0rerdo the

The greatest danger OF bicycling, in
common with other sports, results from
the strain which active exertion neces-
sarily brings upon the heart. That all
important organ tends, like other mus
Giles. TO lose toniclty under the seden-
tary conditions OF the average life, and
readily becomes embarrassed IL asked
to perform an unusual work, as any
one who Is not in training can assure
himself by climbing n flight of stairs
rapidly, or attempting to run a few
hundred yards, says a writer in Har-
per's Weekly. Under such conditions
the heart often doubles the frequency
OF its beat in attempting TO dispose Of
the increased flood OF blood that is
driven into 1t by muscular contraction
With a diseased heart the strain thus
imposed may be hazardous. Several
cases are recorded where n person with
guchsa heart has fallen dead while rid
ing n bicycle. But then thousands Of
other cases are recorded where persons
have similarly fallen dead While riding
in carriages, or while sitting. in easy
chairs at home.
Even the perfectly normal heart may
prolonged and excessive strain. This
fact should be borne in mind by every
novice in bicycling, for it IS peculiarly
easy to oyerdO under the eXhllarating
influence of this pastime. Presently the
heart gains tone and strength, and IL
able 10 adapt Itself 10 the new condi-
tons: but until time has been given for
this it is the part OF wisdom TO proceed
carefully, training on" gradually
Furthermore. the person who is wise
will use reasonable discretion as to the
amount OF eXertion he will undertake
even when thoroughly trained. As we
have inherent differences OF strength,
each one OF us should be in some meas
ure a law unto himself as 10 how fast
and how far he shan ride, keeping well
within the limits Of his own strength

healthful fatigue is one thing, complete
exhaustion quite another. The person
who rides for pleasure and health and
uses reasonable judgment viii not feel
Obliged to cover ten miles in a half
hour, or to pedal up every hill that
some one else has managed TO climb
Above all. he win eschew such inane
and harmful performances as century

distance for the mere sake of covering
1t, regardless of consequences.
