Lost Purses.

The Washington Railway Il Electric

than three hundred and thirty-fve
purses containing money were turned
in at the several branches of the lost
and found department maintained by
the company. One pocketbook con-
tanned more than two hundred dollars.
Altogether, the total exceeded five
hundred and fifty dollars, an average
of approximately one dollar and sixty
cents per purse.
Each loss may be presumed TO repre-

of the losers suffered serious embsrraSa-
