ATTENTION, CONpUCTOEs-EditorS Star: The
propIietors of the street railroad would serve
the public if they would instruct their drivers
and conductors to pay attention to people on
the sidewalks and at crossings along their
route, who strive in vain to hail them. II
drivers and conductors would keep an eye to
the night and left they would not oblige people
TO run after them through the mud, and would
put more money in the pockets of their en-
plOyers- Complaint is Justly made that enough
attention Is not paid TO old and sick people
who get in and ont the cars. Politeness is not
bad quality for men to possess wko occupy
the position of conductors. PASSENGER.
II Passenger" or others aggricved would
call the attention of the directors of the rail-
road 10 any remissness of conductors, (desig-
mating the number Of the that the re-
sponsibility could be fixed,) we are certain the
matter would be promptly corrected. In JUS
tice to the conductors ii should be said. that
the body of them are courteous, prompt and
efficient, and the exceptions will undoubtedly
