COLD WEATHER INCIDENT.
bne Man Carefully stops n Chilly
DrauEht and Another Uncon-
sciousiy UncOvcrs II.

A man who got into an end car of an
elevated train Oh one Of the coolest
days of the recent cold spell and set
tied himself down comfortably at an
end seat became suddenly aware that
there was a cold draught coming in
around his feet from somewhere. and
looking down he saw that one Of the
two pairs of brass plates that held the
rollers of the door had come Off and left
an opening for the wind 10 blow
through; and il was surprising how
much cold wind could get through that
hole.
The guard said that it had come off
on the down trip (the train was at this
time going up and that itwould be put
back in place as soon as the car got
to the upper end of the road again,
where repairs were made. Meanwhile
the guard had helped matters some by
putting into the opening loose wad
made of piece of brown paper.
When the guard had walked back to
the front of the car, the passenger who
had felt the draught and had had this
little conversation with him. saw right
opposite under the seat on the other
side. a whole newspaper. Picking that
up from the floor under the seattle laid
it down on the floor in front of the
hole in the floor folding the paper
lengthwise in right angle, so that one
part rested on the floor while the other
rose against the door over the hole.
This was a great improvement on the
wad, and il kept outO considerable part
Of the cold, and the passenger settled
himself back in his seat congratulating
himself on this happy result.
About three minutes later another
man hustled into the car and walked
back and sat down on the end seat on
the other side. He wanted occupation
en- route, and casting his eye down,
he saw that smooth paper on the floor
and instantly bent down and picked it
up. The passenger opposite, who had
put it there, and had begun reading
his paper, dropped his paper on his
knees and leaned forward involuntar-
| lily as he saw the other man do this.
This your paper| said the other
man, as he saw the passenger opposite
leaning forward and looking at him.
NO" said the man, settling back
again and resuming his paper. lie felt
that cold blast coming in and settling
around his feet again, but he said moth
Ing. The hole was on the other mans
side. and he Thought thatthe other man
would feel il in minute and look down
and realize what the paper had been
on the floor for and putt back. But the
other man did nothing of the kind
lie seemed impervious TO cold, and he
never even looked down. lie kept right
on reading the paper with perfect i'm
\ perturbability.
The first man next thought that the
other man wasn't going very far. and
he decided that he would soon have q
chance TO replace the paper. His ip'
| tuition as TO the other mans travelling
only a short distance proved correct;
but he didn't throw the paper down
when he got up; on the contrary, he
folded it smoothly and put it in hi.
\ pocket That was something the first
man hadn't thought OF, ard he sat there
and shiyered and smiled over it all the
way, till he came to his own station

THE BAYARD MEMORIAL.

THE iANAftl) MlIMORlAdA
Hon. Thomas f. Bayard was dis
tinguished man. From one end Of the
world to the other he was known and
recognized as one OF the noblest types
Of American manhood, The State of
Delaware did not reflect honor upon
him. He reflected honor upon the
state. BY his honesty and intelligence
he became a prominent figure in the
limited number of really great men of
the world Delaware was his BIRTH
place, and Wilmington was his home.
He is dead, and the citizens Of VIII
mington would like to do him honor;
to erect lasting memorial in keeping
with the character OF the man. This
desire led to the formation Of the Bay
ard Memorial Association, composed OF
many representative citizens 10 is
merely the centre about which the
movement revolves. From the people
at large will come the bulk of the
money necessary TO carry the project
to completion. Upon the character or
the memorial selected the amount OF
the fund win largely depend
Some OF the members Of the associa-
ton are credited with a desire to make
the memorial a large bulding devoted
to the uses Of stordSeopers on the first
floor; free library ON the second floor.
and a banquetng hall on the THIRD
floor For cold-blooded sandwlching CT
a streak Of philanthropy between a
streak of sordid money making and
s,reak OF hilarity this proposition is a
masterpiece Ii is an insult to the mem
cry Of Mir. Bayard that the people OF
Wilmington should erect as a m0nu-
ment a building to be devoted TO traf-
fic and revelry. The people will never
give counterance and support to suci,
a scheme. They want a monument
which is a monument, and not a row Of
stores and a banquet hal with a liz
brasy in between, which would be COM
plets.y overshadowed and dominated
by the present free library. The COM
mittee might just as we'll bargain for
a row Of dwelling houses, call II "The
Bayard Block" and be done with IT,
The monument which the people OF
Wilmington should erect to Mr.. Pay
ard ought to be something distinctive.
and situated IN the heart Of our city
where it will meet the eye of every
conner. It should not be honey -combed
with places OF trade and speculation,
or used for purposes of mirth. II
should be sacred thing, held in rev.
erence by everyone. Not subject to de-
structon by fire; TO distralnts for
rent; to the purposes of tradesmen, or
to the light laughter and song and jest
which fow so freely at the banquet
board
Let il be something far removed from
such associations A thing which. once
paid for, is paid for forever, and not
thing requiring begging, year after
year, to keep it up
III the association cannot get ON a
higher plane than shops and banquet
halls, Il had better drop the project
altogether and let Mr. Bayard's memoir
ial be the grateful, remembrance in the
minds of cur people Of HIS many ex-
cel,ent quantities ard distinguished
services
