WILL DO AWAY WITH HIGH-STEP TROLLEYS Utilities Commission Had a Hearing Regarding the Complaint and a There are many he: will be interested iu the statement that in all probability the utilities commission will order a change from the present high step trolley cars to a more com- venient arrangement for getting aboard the cars. It was not long ago that the beard of trade was petitioned by many Norwich women to take up this mat- ter, and they endorsed the claim that there should be a change. At the conclusion cof the Manchester hearing the matter of high steps on trolley cars taken up by the util- ities commi at Hartford Tuesday, and the outcome will probably be that the commission will order a certain fola: step, triel on cars in Hart- ford, Bridgeport and New Haven. The trials will not be made, it is under- stood, until the coming summer. Oper cars are to be selected, as the com- plaints seemed to be mostly against that style. The matter of high steps, which are especially inconvenient to women, has been the subject of much compiaint, but no steps have been taken by the Connecticut compatny up to the pres- ent ime to remedy the difficulty. When the public utilities commisaion was formed it wes one of the first matters brought to their attention. There have appeared before the commission dele- gations of women from Hartford and Bridgeport, and it is chiefly due to their effo-ts that the contemplated ac- tion will be taken.

Address on The New South the Closing Number'of Entertainment Course. In the final number of the Y. M. C. A. entertainment course, ex-Gov, Robert B. Glenn of North Carolina was the lecturer on Tuesday evening, address ‘ng a good sized audience at the Cen- tral Baptist church, who heard him with intense interest and with frequent bursts of applause as he spoke upon The New South. The lecturer was introduced by Rev. P. C. Wright, pastor of ‘the church, who referred to three noteworthy ac- complishments during the governor's term as North Carolina’s chlef execu- tive, . the paying off of the state debt, the bringing of the raliroads up to obey the law like common people, and the passing and enforcement of state- wide probibition. Governor Glenn made his brilliant address cover a wider field than the scuth only, eloquently portraving the wonderful ‘development and possibili- ties of this great country, and illumi- nating a solld array of facts with oc- cusional witty touches or story of some old southern darky that brought out the point he was making. In this class was the story of the old colored man who, the speaker said, gave ‘Fest illustration he knew of the gr ness of (he United States. If should attempt to talk about the great things he got “de lock in de jaw,” if he attempted -to think about them he got “confusions in de head.” and the only way the old man knew of coming anywhere near seeing all the great- ness was to lle down and dream about it, and even then he “had to be mighty keerful,” or he’d dream himself into raradise. Governor Glenn proceeded to an elo- quent picture of the south around war times, and of the desperate bravery of the confederates and the heroic valor of the union soldfers on the fleld of Gettysburg, and then of the devasta- tion and desolation in the south after the war, when in the terrible recon- struction days the people of the south were fighting the scalawags of their own land and the carpetbaggers of the porth. From this condition the south had arisen in 20 years from the manufac- trre of five million males of cotton tof was sheitered in a shed and were to be transported to Middletown.

The last named said the company played one-week engugements, and had an cxtensive renertoire, which necessitat- ed a large amount of ‘materials for staging the piays. The railroad contends that it is not liable as the business agent had signec a release to them. MATTERS OF lNT!?!BT IN CENTRAL DISTRICT.
