PICKING OUT THE PASSENGERS.

PICKING OUT THE PASSENGERS.
Regularity with Which Suburban People
Travel-A Conductors Memory.
you wonder how We can pick out the pas
sengers who have not paid their fareF said
the suburban conductor; lit is rather queer,
but its our business. Il Is thing that comes
to us by practice. For instance, We make
stop and fifteen or twenty people get aboard
1t is, of course, impossible for US TO tell
where they have taken seats. They mix
with the passengers who have already paid
their fare On going through the train We
have no assistance in picking out the new
passengers excepting our memory of faces
And it is quite remarkable how much our
memory will do for US. l can't explain it. 1t
is something beyond explanation. But as l

my passengers here and there | pick out a
man who am sure has no. paid his fare

Il often catch myself wondering how II Is
done-I surprise lnyself-but 1 only know
that we do it. OF course We sometimes make
mistakes, and sometimes miss passengers
But not often, considering the hundreds whom
we collect fare from every day. There Is
one thing which assists Us, especially on the
runs into town and that Is that large per
cent. of our passengers occupy the same seats
day after day given car is loaded almost
the same one morning Is 1t was the previous

His exclamation was not unnatural,
and | was half empted to echo 1t that
evening as tuned into that great dance
hall and BARRON on Bleecker street,
euphoniously Known as the Black and
Tan. The Bla6 and Tan is the though
est, taking it Ell in all, dive in Little AT
RIGA. 1t is frquented by hard charac-
ters of both sexes and all cOlors. Negro
men and white girls and white men and
negro wenches are drinking, dancing,
quarreling. Nowhere in this broad land
is the color line so loosely drawn as In
the Black and Tan. Yet, on the whole,
the darker element predominates, and the
genius of order is represented by we'll
known cOlOred pugilist, who keeps the
motley crowd in comparative order; that
is TO say, murders are not frequent. There
is a piano and fiddle to furnish music
and ample space for dancing. AS the
night goes on the room gets hotter and
the air is thicker with smoke; the music
is worse, and notwithstanding the fact
that the beer ia served IN smaller glasses,
the crowd becomes dTunkan and more
quar- elsome. Now is a good time to slip
out. for one can never tell what drunken
darky will do. 1t is not an 1ntrequent
thing Tor drunkan woman to whip out
razor and run amuck, slashinR right and
left, neither knowing nor caring who IS
wounded. There are half dozen SINH
lar places in the quarter, some as bad and
some little better, and only one other
worth visiting. 1t is in the basement of a
low-stOoped house on Thompson street,
and it's principal attraction is that it is
trequented by genuine negroes. A white
man is rarely seen in there and mulatto
never. For, bless you, there is as strong
caste feeling in South Fifth avenue as in
its more fashionable pamesake up town.
The genuine full-blooded negro looks
with scorn upon his lighter brother.
"Saddle-colored moke," ''salmon-colored
Niger" "bleached darky" are some OF
the epithets l have heard applied to the
lighter colored denizens of Little Africa
by this coal black aristOcracy. Here a
banjo player is the producer of music,
and he does it right well, too, and genuine
negro dances such as one sees in the to-
bacco or cotton barns OF the South are in
dulged in.
The great vice of the negro is gambling,
and the quarter is plentitully sprinkled
with policy shops. They are all alike
a dingy little room, with desk and few
books and papers to keep up appear
ances. In one of these places ran across
my friend of the fortune teller's who saw
the black cat.
"Well, did you make ity' inquired as
he passed me.
"Dunno, boss, 'spect did. De VoodOc
womap's powerful spry on desc tings. Ye
see she hsint got but one eye; her odder
eye is buried, so she sees all de debbil says
wild dat" he responded, confidently.
Here was new idea, and to me a new
phase of negro superstition. Besides
policy, draw poker is a favorite game,
and the Thompson Street Poker Club is
no fancy picture. There is quiet little
barroom in the quarter owned and run by
a full-blooded negro, where In the pack
room several very lively games are car
ried on every night, but in all these
places "white folks" are looked upon with
gu splclon.
