THIRTY YEARS CHANGES.

A comparison of the street railway service in Bridgeport now with that of years gone by serves to show the rapid march of improvement. Some 30 years ago the Bridgeport Horse Railroad Go. was Chartered and among the original stockh oIders were Nathaniel Wheeler, P. T. Barnurn. Albert Flames. Frederick Hurd, C.. A. Hotchkiss. William H. Perry, Captain Bradley, J. D. AIvord and a few oth- CTS equally as well known For many years the road extended only from the present barn on Barnum avenue in East Bridgeport to Clinton avenue on the West and to Seaside park on the South.
 At first four double cars were run: These were the Reamer cars and were built ih the old shop in Middle street. At. ths time the fare was six cents. After these ears were run for a few years they were hauled off and then came the era of jigger cars.'' Six of them were purchased from the John Stephenson Company and then, the fare was raised to eight cents, or. seven tickets for 50 cents. From 6 until II a. m- cars were run. every 20 minutes or every 40 minutes to Seaside park and the same to Clinton avenue From Il a. m. to $50 D. m the headways was reduced to l. min utes, and from 6.50 for the rest Of the eveningit again became 20 minutes The last car was in the shed and all was closed up by II D. m
 In the winter of 1873-4 but three ears were runs and at that time the company thought seriously of tearing up the track and abandoning their charter The cars had at this time become old ande deIapidated and were what might be termed played out'' But it was decided to cc1ffnue run ming, and soon after six new s'jiggers'' of an improved pattern were purchas- ed. When the first trip out Fairfield avenue was made with one of these, a lady who resided near Norman street saw it and called out to a neighbor: Come out quick, and see the pretty little boxes we have got to ride in!'' In addition to these stjiggerse the company had two large cars which were run on extra occasions
 After a time the fare was reduced to five cents and then passenger traffic began to improve. The North Main street and East Main street branches and some other extensions were laid and nlore cars of the '.jigger'' style were purchased. But the public was not satisfied with the service Then the Rochester syndicate stepped in and bought the road. Bridgeport was then promised great things iii the way of street railway service, but for some reason the promises failed t.. materialize and 1hen Charles A.

WHooP4NG COUGH
 AND VACCINATION

A word of eommendation should be accorded the New York Depart ments of Health for it's appeal to the physicians of New York for their collaboration in the more extensive use of vaccine in the treatment of whooping cough. This disease, which years kills 10000 American children occupies a unique position among the infe ctious diseases, in that it's onset is indefinite, it's duration particularly long. and it's seriousness not at all appreciated by the public. The basis for this appeal is in the. favorable results in the use of the vaccine already reported. It would be well. says The Journal of the American Medical Association, if the collaboration were given still wider scope and were extended to other large municipalities so that we could determine without undue delay the possibility of reducing the morbidity and mortally of this disease.

She then cams. past me and co1ided: 1: don't think the engine was going like anything the usual rate of speed
 made no signal to this engine; was surprised they were not backing down; made no signal for they could not hear me; the engine Fairfield was not blowing off steam at the time that down train was whistllng, don't think they heard the whistle, but at the time supposed they heard and made up my mind they knew what they were about that perhaps the down train was train loading logs and they knew of her being there.
 when they got on. engine they gave short whistle. as they were about starting. The passenger train passed me at the factory, she had no flag noticed the engine particularly be- cause of no flag being on the pass seneer trains thought it was strange; think it was 20 or 25 minutes after the passenger train passed up that Fairfield came along; think the train had time to go to Stepney. We aI- ways think they are safe to cross the track when regular train passes with out a flag. We sometimes wait at crossings some time for train to pass then if no red flag is on think our selves safe to go across; not seeing red flag on the passenger train had no idea there would be any train af- ter her. and so thought myself.

While playing shortstop for the Milfords in the game with Torring- ton Saturday, Barlow Connolly a Bridgeport boy, fell and broke his leg in two places. The accident may result in his permanent retirement from the game. There were few superior all around amateur players in the business. He was a good, field CT, sure hitter and an excellent coacher. There is some talk of a. game being played between the. Mil lords and the victors for Barlow's s benefit, and if it is arranged he has many friends here who would attend and help swell the receipts.

9e Are there still some protests from honorabIe manufacturers who have doen so much for an unappreciative country? Yes. there are; but only these deserve answer. We pay the market price for labor. and our hours are the same as those of all the other mills in our line of manufacture . "A man doesn't have to work on the terms we offer if he does not wish to do so." ftThe price of labor is of course governed by the thoroughly established laws of supply and de- mand.'' To your first statement would inquire if there is anything in more than the market price for labor if your factory is highly profitable ? This would reducef the profits of the business? z What of it, since you al ready have enough? Higher wages and shorter hours would help hu- nnanity more than those extra divi- dends would benefit your sstockhold- humanity? Then you are a mighty poor American and an unworthy manufacturer. You are not contrf- outing to the cause of freedom and the greatest good to the greatest number. To your second argument would answer that a man does have to. work on the terms you offer in the

It does not jibe with the Golden Rule, which is good business and good science It does not jibe with the idea that you are your brothers keeper. It is at variance with the American spirit of fair play. It must mean fair play also. See that it does. And to find out what fair play is, put yourself in the other fellows place, if you can, and don't forget his hours of work and his future when you secure that exalted position.-David Mofat My CTS, in The Engineering Magazine for September.

Just preceding the game in New Haven last Friday between the Edge woods and the yictors, Manager Jim O'Rourke was introduced by Roger Conner to Jim Corbetta The cham pion assured the ex-Giant that he WAS highly pleased at the introduc- ton and reminded him that almost IS years ago. while on a, visit to Chi cago, he saw O'Rourke play. The latter was then captain and manager Of the Buffalo team, which, in its day, comprised the greatest aggre- gation Of ball tossers the diamond has ever known. O'Rourke wanted -Cor1,ett to come to Pleasure Beach and play first base for the Victors in a game, 1but- the ;pugilist said that while under ordinary circumstances he would do so. he could not enter tain the proposition at this time, as he was about to commence active pre- parations for his contest with Bob F1tzimmons, and did not feel as though he could afford to take any chances. Corbett received $250 for the 2 1-2 hours he spent on the field Friday as an umpire. Either the Chicagos. with Gap. Anson or the Baltimores with Keeler will be the next big attraction at the Beach.
