He, at least, keeps to one part of the street, while the terrible boy driver and his erratic steed are all over the highway. “The ‘cabbies’ have taken the matter up and propose to wage a merry war on the youngsters. They will seek to have a mu- nicipal ordinance passed to license drivers, excluding those who are under eighteen years of age. “Good for the cabbies! For once they have the public with them. We snall rise and call them blessed. We shall forget their sins of the past. We shall furgive them their peculiar idea of time when they are hired by the hour and their etrange measuring of miles when they travel by distance. We shall forgive and forge: all the cabby characteristics if they will only rid us of that dreadful creature in knick- erbockers, the boy driver of New York.” The above from the Herald only ex- Presges what thousands in this city have also noticed and suffered from; the average colored boy on the grocer or butcher or other tradesman’s wagon is not “a stand- ing” but a traveling menace, not only to pedestrians, but to other vehicles, and par- ticularly to bicycle riders. To sve these boys dash across # street, around a cor- ner, particularly when a little rain is threatening, with no regard for rights of pedestrians or bicyclers, is almost as com- mon an occurrence as it is to see such bey drivers on these wagons. Our Commission- ers should take notice, and, as suggested by the Herald, put an age limit on the “boy driver,” whose natural exuber::nce of spirits always finds expression in a dash- ing pace and crowding the “other feller.” The other day I noticed a young girl on her bicycle coming up 14th street, followed by one of these drivers, who kept up im- mediat behind her, and she only escaped the annoyance by turning off at « side street. Cc. —— Wife and Son the Heirs. ‘The will of the late John Franklin Farns- worth, dated July 8, 1897, and naming his son John as executor, has been filed.

SOLVING THE PROBLEM. Post Office Department Striving te Settle the Brightwood Controversy. A solution of the problem of the removal of the post office from Brightwood .o Brightwood Park is proposed by the de- partment. The controversy may be ended by the extension of the free delivery sys- tem to embrace Brightwood Park and pos- sibly Grightwood. The department has de- cided to inquire into the feasibility of such @ change, and an inspector will be sent to the new district next week to Investicate and report. The free delivery system extends at pres- ent as far as the electric road, whic nects the Soldiers’ Home with the Brigh.- wood electric railway, about a mile from Brightwood Park, where the residences aro ether, and the territory could be co\- ered in a short while by the postmen. Tho conditions are not conshlered so favoratie at Brightwool, where the town covers a large area. It is considered doubtful if the department will consider the propositi giving it the free delivery system ' citizens, however, would have the satis'a tion of retaining the 4 office about which they have made such a fight It is thought that if both Brightwood ar | Brightwoud Park re » the free delivery ystemm it will be necessary to establish 1 Substation, and it is believed this wo certainly be given in charge of the new appointed postmaster, Mr. Van Horn. _— LAST SAD RITE Funeral Services mn.
