while its passengers went at the
management tooth and nail.
There's always some one behind"
said one conductor. They all know or
ought to know the leaving time Of "A
car at the end of the line, but IL we
waited there 10 minutes there'd be
some ore chasing us when we did
start
The schedule is arranged so that the
cars can make their trips on time ana
40 the average amount of business. Ii
the travel is light they get in a little
ahead Of time perhaps and have to walt
and when 1T is unusualiy heavy they
have to hustle when there is chance
to make time. When there is the aver
age amount of work they just make
connections.
Even now with regular stopping
places where the passengers can be
taken in punches the cars are usually
late, Saturday afternoon and evenings,
when the travel is heavy and it would
be a problem to keep them going if
they had to stop anywhere and wait
frequently for tardy passengers.
And so it goes. The management and
the men on the cars claim that the
regular stopping places are necessity
while a good many of the patrons
claim they are nuisance and are not
necessary. The committee which was
appointed at the last meeting Of the
Board of Trade to confer with the
management of the road in regard to
the matter has not taken any action AS

almost every day. The men had strict
orders not to stop for any one between
the stations and the best they have
ever done is to slow up so that one
can take his chances on a flying leap
Rut the business men have never
liked it. Customers are missing cars
every day by just a few seconds ana
often after run up the street. Ladies
are the most frequent sufferers as the
last word ond their bundles often de-
lay them. One merchant, whose store
is located on corner, complains be-
cause the regular stopping place for
the cars is the opposite corner while
the bulk of the travel is on his corner
He says his customers have to finish
their trading in time to carry their
bundles across the street to the oppo-
site corner and then wait there for the
car. This is hard on the ladies, es-
pecially in wet weather. Women with
children and bundles do not care to
cross the streets more than they can
help but they have to in going from his
store to "A car. He has interviewed the
management several times without
success.
Another man says that it is his
honest opinion that the men operating
the cars simply try to see how easy
they can get from one end of the line
to the other. Business cuts no figure
with them, he thinks, and they care not
whether hey ever carry a passenger.
Another man kicks because the cars
do not connect with the trains. Il
never can get train on a car" says
he. The merchants who have regular
stopping places directly in front of
their stores are about the only ones
who are not kicking and they have
stories about passengers being left. And
SO it goes.
But there is much to be said on the
other side also. If some of the conduc-
tors could have a chance to tell all they
know it would be wild, weird story.
They say that the thing that causes
them about as much trouble as any
thing is the apparent inability of most
people to realize that electric cars have
a time schedule and that they must
stick to it almost as rigidly as steam
cars. Then minutes lost may throw
the whole system into confusion and
this means hurry and confusion for the
whole day. 1t takes but a little to
knock out whole trip and that is
trouble enough for a week.
Another thing that causes trouble is
the idea that seems to be general that
the cars can stop as easily and often as
any one wants them to. Before the
signs went up it was a frequent oc-
curance on a good day to have the
shoppers strung out all along Main
street only short distances apart. The
ear had to move at snail's pace and
stop every few feet to pick them up.
This made it late on the siding and ne
cessitated a wait for the other car

known Hebrew clergymen in the East.

suits that were anticipated have not yet
come to pass. Continuing, he said in

The chimney of this house had been

thought that this had all been properly

But the fire evidently mulled some

at the hour stated in the cellar. 1t was
promptly squelched by the depart
ment and the damage will probably be
covered all right by $40.

engagement here, Friday evening. The
entertainment has been thoroughly
all through the surrounding
country and a large crowd is expected
down from Skowhegan on the special
train. The train will stop at all the
way stations coming and going and
this will afford a good opportunity for
Fairfield people. The sale of seats will
open, Wednesday morning, and it is
expected there will be a rush at the

ON THE ELECTRICS.
To Stop or Not-RegularIy Is the
Question.

At about every meeting of the Board
of Trade that has been held, recently,
something has been said about the
regular stopping places for the cleo
trio cars along Main street. 1t is evil
dent that the plan is rather unpopular
among the business men and that Il
good many want the old plan of stop
ping anywhere returned and the signs
taken down.
Those in favor of the old style say
that Waterville is too small city for
such plan and point to many other
places in Maine where the cars stop
anywhere on signal. They claim that
the signs have been the laughing stock
of al strangers coming to the city since
they were put up. The natives have
become pretty well accustomed to them
by this time, but an occasional strang-
er still gets left. There were some
merry times when the signs first went
up.
First perhaps it would he a travelling
man with several big grips on the curb
When the car came along he signaled
and then leisureIy bent over to get I'M
der his load of baggage. When he
Strengthened up the car was sailing
along up the street to the next stop
ping place. Thinking perhaps that the
conductor had not seen him he started
to walk after it, taking his time. Just
before he reached it the car sailed
along to the next station and then he
stood still and swore. Some times they
were Boston oaths and some times
New York, hut they were all forcible.
Then perhaps there would be sew
eral ladies standing complacently be-
tween stations and when the car sailed
by the expressions on their faces made
an elegant study for an artist. The
ladies didn't swear but when some of
them met the conductor they made re-
marks that would be considered fight
ing talk, coming from a man.
1t took several weeks to teach the
lesson and some people thought seri-
ously of suing the road for damages on
account Of ruined dispositions. The
things that We're said would fill book
that wouldn't be at all suitable or a
Sunday school library. but the cars
kept right on running and making their
regular stops. The regular patrons
soon became able to close their eyes
and see the exact location of the signs
Some could locate them even to the
width Of a crack in the pavement
But the fun went on even after that
with the strangers. There is not so
much of it now but some one gets left

THE PANAMA CONFERENCE.
Vargas Santos Did Not Attend but u
Willing to Make Peace.

San Jose. Costa Rica, Nov. 10-The rea-
son why Gen. Nargas-Santos, military di-
rector OF the Colombian revolution, did
not go to Panama to attend the confer
ence arranged to take place. Sunday, on
board the United States battleship Wis
consin in Panama harbor between repre-
sentatives of the Colombian government
and of the revolutioniSts, is because the
government of Colombia, according to adj
vices received here. intended to limit the
subject of the conference to the accept
ance of the decree of amnesty recently
promulgated by the President OF Colom-
bia, Senior Morriguin.
Gen. Santo Domingo arrived here, last
month. bearing peace proposals from the
Colombian government to Gen. vargas
Santos. He said the purpose of his gov
eminent in calling the peace conference
was to establish an effective and lasting
peace which would harmonize the inter-
ests of the several politician parties con-
eerned in the revolution.
The matter was discussed between Gen
Vargas-Santos and the Colombian repre-
sentative who exchanged number of
cablegrams with the Colombian authorl-
ties at Panama, with the result that Gen.
Vargas-Santos accepted the proposals
made by Gen. Santo Domingo and prom

Gen. Nargas-Santos thereupon refused
TO accept such a proposition and decided
to withdraw from the conference, which
he says he considers futile.
At the same time the military director
of the Colombian revolution learned that
the Colombian government had issued or
ders to Gen. Tovar to imprison the revo-
lutionary general. Tribe Tribe, and SEN
tence him to death without mercy. This
