shouters piled their calling with vim as
new as the picturesque structure, and the
railway porters were affable and alert.
But there was the earmarks of newness
on every hand
The old Sixth street station. vacant and
lonely, took on the appearance of a
morgue in the gloom of this November
blue Monday, and passersby gazed curl
ously at the building and wondered to
what future use it will be put. 1t was
said that under the terms of the act of

station was authorized, the old Pennsyl-
vania station is to be turned over to the
government, and is to be used in what
ever way is seen At by the legislators of
