In view of the statement made at the
hearing before the senate committee on
special legislation by Col. Frank Filling
hast that the open platform cars were
preferred by the motormen. several men
employed in that capacity by the Rhode
Island company have told News re-
porter that the assertion was not true.
but that on the contrary the men, not
only as q rule. but almost without excep-
ton, preferred the vestibule cars wnen
they could get them TO run.
one Of the men said that not only were
the cars warmer for the passengers, put
that they were much more comfortaoIe
for the motormen. especially on LONG

YALE DRAMATIC ASSOCIATION.

The Dress Rehearsal Next Monday
 Fine Success Anticipated.
 The rehearsals of the Yale actors in their comedy which they will present at the Hyperion theater on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings of next week, have been progressing so smoothly since the return of the men from vacation that it has been decided not to hold the dress rehearsal until Monday, the day before the initial performance. This is a departure from the original plan, when the final rehearsal was to have been held several days before the dates set for the play. By means of this new scheme 1t will be possible for the actors to have all the properties in actual use on the night of the performance. when otherwise the prior demand upon the storage room of the Hyperion theater, as commanded by a large opera com pany, might interfere with the plans of the association. This has been made possible only by the most diligent work of the men in the few past days of re- hearsing, for what was at first thought to be detriment has proved itself to be a boon. Nearly all of the properties have been obtained, and all arrange ments have been made for the storing Iof the scenery which is expected to ar rive in town tomorrow.

Y. M. c. A. NOTES
Fine Lecture by Rev. E. s. Holloway
 Yesterday Afternoon-Leland Powers Wednesday Evening.

Fine Lecture by Rev. E. s. Holloway
 Yesterday Afternoon-Leland Powers
 Wednesday Evening.
 Yesterday afternoon in Foy audito- rum a large audience listened to a most interesting address by Rev. E. s. Holloway, of New York city, pastor of the West Thirty-third Street Baptist church. MT. Holloway's address was on "A Satisfied Life" The speaker treated the varying ambitions of men. He spoke of the magnificent palace erected on Fifth avenue, New York, by the late copper king, who never lived to walk into it's portal, but was carried there in his casket, his palace being his tomb for but a short time.
 The hollow mockery following the chase after riches and empty honors, the vain attempts to build up monu- dits of the people on one day and but to listen to the words Cruelty him" on the next, were pointed out as the wages which are often gained but for the moment. The Christian life, said Mir. Holloway, is the one life in which nothing is left to be desired, in which satisfaction reigns supreme and in which a man heaps honor upon himself by the history of his past.
 A special musical programme was rendered by quartette composed of Miss Marjorie Kilborn. Miss Grace Walker, Judson Pierce and George c. Stock.
 This evening in Foy auditorium MT. Holloway will deliver his famous illus trated lecture on "The Life of Christ from the Cradle to the Grave" This lecture is open to the general public, men and women alike being invited to be present. The address is said to be a most instructive one. It will be given at o'clock.
 i Wednesday evening Leland Powers will appear in the last number of the Y. M. c. A. entertainment course of this season. He is to give '.Cyrano de Ber- gerac." He is too well known to need any introduction, and a large audience will be present to hear him.
