At Allahabad Is q magnificent mau-
solemn surrounded Is three marble
domes, wherein Jehangir, the ancient
governor of the country, and his two
sons sleep their last sleep. For years
the tomb has been deserted and abah-
doned, but recently some English Of
ficers of the Allahabad garrison con-
ceived the idea OF turning it into a bill
lard saloon, and accordingly had the
interior decorated and lighted by cleo
tricity and installed splendid billiard
table. Soon the remains of poor Je-
hangir will tremble with fright at the
joyous shouts of laughter which dis
turb their repose.

Politcness and Rapid Transit.

To the Editor OF lie Evening star:
Recent changes in the ownership of some
of the street car lines of this city tend to
| bring sharply into notice both the excel
lences and the faults of the local transport
tatfon system. The causes for public COM
plant are few. Cars are run with fair
regularity and safe speed and are in the
main clean. But it seems to me-and
know l speak for many silent sufferers
| that much might be done toward lettering
the attitude which the conductors adopt
toward the patrons of the lines Too often
are they inconsiderate of age or infirmity.
They hustle an intending passenger aboard
as though life depended upon the saving of
fractions of seconds in the schedule. They
bundle departing passengers out of the
cars with peremptory cries and often with
rough assistance until the fare-payng citi-
zen feels that he has committed grave Of
Tense in riding. 1t is often difficult for the
passenger to strike the rapid-transit gait.
The steps are frequently high and the
aisles are often crowded. Too many times
| he finds the platforms congested by indif-
ferent people, who think only of themselves
and pay no attention to his efforts to enter
or leave the car. He fears the sudden
starting and stopping of the car by careless
or incapable motormen. He knows that to
fall in the aisles on the platform or at
the steps might prove fatal to one of his
years and he moves with caution, if at
times with delberation. For him to be as
sailed by uncouth admonitions TO hurry, to
be grabbed by the arms and pushed off or
on, to be treated as an offender instead of
as a patron and supporter of the road is
offensive to his dignity and his comfort.
He protests, at times and is met with
coarse abuse.
do not complain that this sort of treat
ment Is the rule. 1t is too frequent how
ever, for further patience. Our local de-
mands for rapid transit are not so insstent
that We must sacrifice all physical comforts
to the requirement to make sixteen miles
an hour, regardless of the traffic Our
necessities are not sufficiently Gothamized
to warrant the abuse of the street railway
franchises in this manner. All we ask is
that our capitalists and their managing
representatives notify their employees that
they must treat the passenger as a trades
man treats a customer. as a patron and not
as mendfcant. The consolidation of GER
tain OF the lines into a corporation COM
petfng with one other system will give the

VERDICT RENDERED..
The Plaintiffs Recover in Each of
Two Cases.

A jury in Circuit Court No. J today re-
turned a sealed verdict in the suit insti-
tuted by Mary f. Gelabert against the Su-
preme Council of the American Legion of
Honor, awarding the plaintiff 5000.
The suit was to recover $1,000 on an in
surance policy issued In the name of Nellie
Potter. a sister of Mrs. Gelabert. The de-
Tense maintained that Miss Potter did not
die of pneumonia, as alleged, but of con-
sumption and that she was a victim of the
disease at the time the policy was issued,
the defendant being deceived to the real
facts in the case.
In Circuit Court, No. 2, today, a sealed
verdict was returned. awarding Thomas ].
Fritz 500 in the suit at law instituted by
him against the Metropolitan Railroad
Company to recover $1,000, The suit grew
out of collision between a car of the de-
PENDANT company and an ambulance in
which the plaintiff was riding.
