DISORDERLY SOLDIERS.

Orderly people who were passengers
or the 11:40 electric train for Mount
Vernon last Saturday night bad an un-
comfortable experience BY reason of the
disorderly conduct of number of SOL
diers whose purpose was to make their
fellow passengers, men and women, as
miserable az possible. The objects Of
their hate seemed to be a few inofensive
colored people, who were insulted and
cursed by the soldiers. A sergeant was
On the train, but he could exercise no
authority over the men, and, 1t is said,
finally went out on the platform, and
the co lductor of the train. was powerless
to preserve order. The names of the
offenders should be procured and turned
over to their officers at once. Rev. John
Cavnaugh few years ago while address
ing a crowd at King and Royal streets,
like John the Baptist of old, saw soldiers
among his auditors. Mr.. Csvnsugh,
however, did not, as the Baptist, tell
them to be content with their wages and
to terrify no man, but looked With
contempt upon one who had q corporsls
stripes upon his arm and observed,
''Some soldiers wear stripes on their
arms; they should wear them on their
backs" 1t would seem that the street
preacher was not far from right.
