HELD UP ON CAR
Csudnelsr DssEacher First Vic
 iIm oi Armed Women.

The published report that Superin- teudent of Police Beach would issue . license to any responsible women to carry firearms for self defense has borne it's natural result. It was only to Do expected that some women would avail themselves of the privi- lege in an unlawful manner on the assumption that they needed the pro- lection a revolver would give.
 On car going toward Forest park Aondayevening were two young wo- men who, according to report looked as though they had had very good dinner. When they were approached by the conductor Eli J. Desrochers for their fare they just smiled at him. The conductor had no use for Rmiles; they could not be rung up on the register, and if report is true the very car seats have eyes these days. The conductor again demanded toll from the young women, and they would not pretend to hear him. He threatened them with the usual con- sequences of refusing to pay fare, ejectment from the car or arrest on returning to Exchange place. This made them laugh. It was quite late and they had the car to themselves. The conductor stopped the car where upon the women produced two revol- verr and pointed them right in the mans face, ordering him to start up the car again. He did, and so far as could be ascertained he did not collect the women's fare either.
 The incident was probably all joke to the young women but 1t was not taken in that light by the con- ductor.

LIVERY AND HALL
Slresis VIII Soon Be . Memory.
 Houses Being Torn Down.

Livery and Hall streets will soon be but a memory. Some few years ago Livery street was a pleasant place and many of the boys and girl, about town have very distinct recol- lection of cheerful hours spent there
 But things have changed and to- day all the families are busy get ting ready to move out. The prop erty Is to be converted into park and the buildings which were sold last night, some of them going for song, will soon be torn down and moved away. To be sure many of the present occupants are compara- lively strangers, but this is not so in all cases. The Kelly family, for example, have resided in the house they are to vacate for years MI Kelly, formerly coachman for c. N Wayland, and later for Mrs John F Elton, went to live there over 30 years ago. The old folks died some time ago, but the family remained at the old homestead as long as pos sible, Mrs Jerome Walker, a promi- nent member of the Women's Relief corps, occupied the house at the corner of Hall and Livery streets for the past 34 years. Of course she does not like to leave, but she sees no alternative and has her things packed and ready to go. Her next door neighbor, Mrs Gauthier, has made the place her home for some thing in the neighborhood of 35 years. It hurts her feelings to go. but the time limit is up tomorrow, and while the city does not propose to act arbitrarily in the matter the folks don't care to tarry any longer on the premises than they can help. The other old settlers, including the Hanlons, left the neighborhood long ago, and the houses are occupied by Syrians and colored folks, some of whom don't appear to know that they have been noticed out. But all of them will have found new quar- ters in few days from now, so peo- pie who want to get good look at the old haunts before they are wiped out forever should lose no time in showing up.

Only the Odd Ones.

Very few of the American tourists who come to England fail to visit Westminster abbey. The long history of the venerable pile appeals strongly to our visitors from the other side of the Atlantic. One lady student while within the abbey looked about with the particular object of inspecting the tomb of King Edward II. Failing to discover 1t after patient search. she at last asked the verger to direct her to It. "Pm sorry. madam" replied the of- fcer, with tone of deep regret, but we 'aven't Edward II. here, as we only lave the odd numbers. Ex- press.

A few days ago a communication appeared in one of the daily papers signed with some letters which were supposed to be the initials of the writer. In the course of his re- marks he wrote to the effect that he is democrat and then he says:
 "I don't know Mir Lilley but I shall vote for him." Commenting on this letter we'll known man said last evening, "If the author of the letter only knew Mir Lilley as I know him he would not vote for him.
