OId-TIme Street Cara

To the Editor Of the EUenino Public Lsdoer:
sr-lf l am not encroachlng too much.
let me give some recolections OF the past
OF the antique system Of street car COM
panles Which Charles Dickens would have
made use Of
During the year 1888 and before--but
mat VIII suniCe-one- horse cars were run
hlng downtown. The driver presented a
winter months He had I. d1ntI Ia decker
cap" ana mur',r, etc. Ins'd~ tie car was
on ohlaInH pay box. into whica the ras
sensors deposited their fares. T'he lotion
of IN, "nr was like n stable, covered VIE
straw, OF which. on wet or snowy DAYS, the
Women'S skirts got the full bencft
Then came the pair-horse cars, whose
horses on very hot summer days would
Keel over. The car crews would have aboard
kind or Iron shoe. or skid which would be
put under the near-side wheel and thor cby
enable them to pull the car OF the track
&c let the others pass
Atterward came the adoption of the CABLE
on Market street. which, if Il had been
practicable, would not have brought about
tho overhead wires. Every now and then
the cable would part and then a general
block.
Now comes the terrible "jugsernaut." :"
as the late John Lucas and frie1ls called
the proposed trolley" McClurc's Times
printed cartoons OF the troubles which were
expected from tho adoption OF the trolley
system Arms. legs and wings were being
tossed up in the air by this juggernaut

Who Started It Golna?

70 ,he Editor Of the Ererin1 Public Ledger:
slT-For some ten years / have been a
.tudent of science. / have Just finished a
yolume by Nistzsche. and while I can agree
with some OF his philosophy find the same
affection to his works as have had with
other scientific volumes. Why do tho great
nroportion Of scientists absolutely deny the
existence of a Creator? Nletzsche says that
mi. ia an age when the human race no
longer believes in God. I have talked with
many men. who like myself, are studying
the mysteries OF life. and they all believe
in a Creator
I understand and believe In the scientific
theory of the solar system, the formation
Of the earth from flaming mass of gas:
the various cycles or stages from Its molten
state to It's present form: the evolution OF
man from the lower animals (scientists
with the exception Of one. are silent on the
subject Of how life first formed on our
planet); the laws that govern the earth and
the other planets.
And after dgestng all this information
I still feel that there must be a Creator
back OF all this natural phenomena No
one without conclusive proof could tell me
that the vast workings OF the celestial sys-
,,ms created themselves from oblivion. Why
does the scientific world In general deny the
existence OF a Creator? I find no evidence
sufficiently substantial to warrant such as
sertion. Whether l find another life after
death or not, I still believe that there Is
a Creator back OF everything.
