tables, writing material and other con-
VenienceS and comforts to give the
weary travellers an opportunity to rest
or to write home. Similar rooms are
fitted up in the Presbyterian and Bap-
fist churches.
While a large number visited head
quarters yesterday and wrote thei-
names on the registers. the vast ma
jority did not allow a record to be made
Of their presence. Some stopped over
only between trains. saw the principal
points of interest. and then hurried on.
Others went to the houses OF friends,
while still others remained on the cars.
