PAY Your FaRE.-A great improvement las been
adopted by most Of the city stage nes-that s TO re-
ceive tie fare as as the passenger enters The
change is then made while the stage is in motion,
ard thus very great amount of time saved,
and the annoyance of having the stage stop at dead
halt when passenger gets out, long enough to hsnd
up bis fare, and perhaps give change for bin. But
this is not the only improvement. They have aban-
doned the quarter-cent shave, which it used to take
whole cent to satisfy. half dime and one cent will
now pay the fare; and if you put up quarter, you
get nineteen cents change This comes of getting rid
of the old Spanish coin, aud will work desirable in
provement, ard become popular soon people get
used TO it.
