Editor Star:—I desire to occupy a little space in your valuable paper in regard to a matter involving the convenience of a large majority of the people of East Washington. Formerly there were dissimilar cars travers- ing the avenue; the red light going to the Navy Yard, and the blue to the Capitol or depot. A person desiring to go to the Navy Yard could always distinguish whieh car to select to carry them to their destination. But now the colors are similar, and persons desir- ing to go to the Navy Yard, or east of the Cap- itol, in the evening, are often turned out of the car in inclement weather at the nav: find it crowded almost beyond standing room. I will relate some of my experience in this respect. Visiting on lith street some time since, when the evening became a very stormy one, I boarded one of the cars traversing the said street for the purpose of returning home. given a transfer at the jnnetion of 15. street; this, ] expected, thou me, as I wended ay the drug store hard b: ‘hit cccurred to ay through the storm to ) and getting very wet. that the railroad coi ny might conduce to the comfort of their passengers by provid some means of shelter at this and the 7 street junction. .I got the first ear coming along, and comforted myself with the thought of proceeding directly home and getting iny- seif dry, but my disgust can be imagined when ing at the “naval monument as being anded a transfer and told to wait for the next car, the rain descending in torrents a thetime. I was more incensed because there were two or three ladies amongst the passen- ers. After the foregoing experience, I have en in the habit of inquiring of the conduc when stepped on the car whether he is going past the Capitol; if not I Stepped off and waited for the car 1 wanted, preferring to do all the waiting at once, rather than be sub- jected to the transfer annoyance at the naval monument. On Sature boarded a ea’ quiry, and w y evening last during the rain I at Willard’s, made my usual in- informed by the ‘conductor that he was going throuzh. “Arriving at the monument I was handed a transfer. “I there: fore remonstrated with the conductor for de- ceiving me, when the man had the assurance to deny it. However, I got wet, and a cold also, and had to stand on the front platform the Breater portion of the way to the navy yar d. “The remedy for this inconvenience is a very simple one.

His name was rejected, and since that time he has despised the ministry and the Bible. When Tom Paine Was thrown out of office he began to revile the Bible.
