been tested and found to work very sat-

The trolley rope holder is a round iron
box on the inside OF which Is a reel
operated by a spring. In case the trolley
slips the wire it is impossible for the
trolley arm to strike against the brackets

Is held until placed back in position.
The rope is at all time kept taut and is

other cars will be equipped with the new
device as soon as possible.

the noted producer, Mr.. Willard Perry,
the great character actress Jeannette
Howell, ana the rising young soubrette'
Florence g. Booth, IN the more imDor-
tant roles.
An unsurpassed list of plays, sump-
