STREET RAILWAY PAPERs.-The street rail-
way company having won their suits, in
which parties claimed damages because the
company refused to give change for a quarter
excep! in tickets. have receded from their
rule and now give change up to one dollar.
The new plan Is . novel one, original with Il.
). Carey, and enables the conductors OF the
bobtan carriages to make exch nge
with great lapiditY, and without any deten-
ton of either the driver or passenger. They
have system Of small sealed envelopes con
tanning the exact change. They are made Of
heavy brown paper, and contain % cent?, 80
cents and 81. The envelopes are Gistin-
guished By bright bands of positive C0lors,
the amount printed in large letter., and the
words Tear this open and pay your fare"
This certainly ID convenient, and will save
the driver much annoyance and unnecessary
explanation, and caunot fail to suit even the
most chronic growler.
