The Norfolk and Southern Railroad
company has recently, for the benefit Of
widening their road bed and laying
several tracks, asked the Council to
close Lee street crossing their road into
Montlant. and IN consideration of this
request from the railroad company the
citizens of West Berkeley and Montlant
have gotten up and signed a petition
asking the Council not to grant the
right to tho company to close the
street, as 1t is the only direct thorough
rare from the Pearl street ferry dock
to Montlant, and to close this street
would moan for all travelling from
Pearl street dock and West Berkeley
TO Montlant to be done by the way Of
chestnut street, which would bring
about great Inconvenience, especially
TO those In Montlant. The citizens
don't hesitate in saying that 1t IS
clearly an imposition on the part Of
The company to ask OF the Council any
such a grant, when the town has ex-
pended several thousand dollars the
past year in opening up and widening
streets that are of no more Importance
to the town. And they do not believe
that their Councilmen will favor any
such imposition on the part Of the

pany.

BOTH SIDES OF HUMAN NATURE
(From the Boston Globe.)

1t is well that the statistics Of crime
disorder and cpidemics in this nation,
published annually, are supplemented
by the statistics Of benefa ctions and
generous donations to charitable and
educational Institutions.
One standing disgrace Of the country
is the fact that each year the number
OF lynchings exceeds the number of
legal executions. For the year 1897 the
number Of lynchings was 166, and the
number of legal executions 12S.
The details OF crime among 10000, 900
people are not very pleasant reading
Far more satisfying are the statistics
Of charity. In the year just past there
was given to colleges $40, 203, $50, to
charities S14,7S5,G26. to churches and re-
lig!ous societies s5023,73S, to museums
and art galleries S1.21S,000. Men gave
$20233,37S Of this and women $13,3T9, 1896
That there Is still some use for rich
folks among us is shown by the fac,
that in 1897 ]. Pierpont Morgan gave

s1,000,000; Winnifred Martin. to
