Tho wreckers nre ndvanciiiK on the
mnln building, the two-story daik led
brick structure on Lancaster nenue,
whoio tho ndinlnlstintlvo nfllces, inhsengcr
waiting room and car barns were located.
In 1S75, the year the Hestonville Hall
road put up tho building, Lancaster ave
nue, in that section, presented a different
nppenrance. Ilorse-drawn or pulled-by-uules.
stubby yellow painted cars rolled
to and fro before the structuie, adding to
their number from the open doors of tho
carbarn, In which drivers and hostlers
worked fcerlshly hnrnesslng more steeds
nnd tending them out with their four
wheeled buiclcns st there might bo cars
for all. I'aiscngers sped In nnd out of tho

Spring Ciniden street bridge, nnd thenco
along Haco nnd Vine streets. They ran
on Him, now I'nrksido avenue, to 62il

with the only transit service It had In
thoso days.
HOW PASKXOnilS PAID.
One man was the crew of the Heston
vlllo enrs. Ho hitched up his car. dnne
It out to the street and waited for tho
passengeis to climb aboard. There was
a. faro bo located Inside the forward
door, jln that the pabsenger dropped nil
faro n.8 soon As ho entered. It he failed,
tho driver stopped the car, wnlkeil In
side, nnd pounded on tho box with a
whip. Tho BtareB of other passengers
when this happened nover failed lo have
Its effect Six cents, the prJce of a rldo
In those days, always fell into tho fare
box.
Hcgular patrons could buy round, hard-
rubber coins that entitled Ihcm to rldo !

The clock grew popular so soon that
the Hestonville Company placed gas burn

The clock was tho flnnl word In all neigh- i

GERMANY TO DEMAND
AMENDS OF PORTUGAL
Seizure of 36 Ships Resented in
Berlin Not Belligerent,
Lisbon Explains
AMSTERDAM, Feb. 28.
CSormnny will demand the prompt re-
leaso of German merchant vessels seized
by tho Portuguese authorities at Lisbon,
ncordlng to advices received hero today.
Official action Is being- delayed, pend
ing official confirmation of press reports,
but It was stated Portugal's explanation
of the reasons for the seizure was most
unsatisfactory. The selzuro has caused
great Indignation In Oerlln.
Dispatches stated that tho Portuguese
Foreign Minister IiaC explained that tho
Auslro-Oerman VMrr:s w6ro Seized be
cause Portugal noido'l transports and
also because she foareO the Qnnan ves
sels wero planning tt escape from the
harbor. Presumably It Is this explanation
which Berlin, according to tho Amsterdam
reports, finds unsatisfactory.
LISDON, Feb. 28. Tho official Gazette
publishes the decree underWhleh ii tier
man and Austrian merchant ships lying;
In the Tngus nlver wero seized by the
commander of the navat division.
It appears that the seljjurs was made
under a law passed by Parliament on Feb
ruary 1- The rwwtrr. In an Irfsrvlfw,
affirms that the Mliurtf U not. an -'
war, but simply a measure In the oinV.ta
Interests.
The Portuguese Minister In TUrtln hnyi
been Instructed to explain to tha Oemn
Government the significance of the seizure
and give assurances that the rights of
tho owners will be respected.

Preparedness
N time of peace prepare
" for mo' peace for yo
country an yo pipe.
AND the pipe that is full of
VELVET is the pipe that
is full of peace slow-burning;,
mellow VELVET the
smoothest and mildest and peace
fulest of smoking tobaccos.
The qualities that make VELVET
more than "just smoking tobacco"
are not a matter of "happen so,"
but are the result of "preparedness."
VELVET spends two full years
"DreDarino-." maturing and
mellowing to bring out the
real delights of Kentucky's
best Burley tobacco.
Think what that means.
Then try VELVET and
know what that means.
