The Spirit Special.

Here Is an example which many an electric line, not to mention a certain ferryboat line, would do well to follow: A special car waa run on Sunday between Salem gnd a nearby town to carry drunken people. No sober person could board it, for the oar wouldn't atop except when tt eame to a staggerer. The result waa that regular cars were more free from drunken rowdies than they had been tor many a day. The special ran just ahead of ie regular ear, loading up at the nearby teem. At Salem It discharged Its oargo. This shuttle car, equipped with special officers, made five trips between 4 and 6 p. m. Incidentally, It’s a nice advertisement for both th i nearby town and Salem.—Boston Herald.
