A NEW SCHEME.
One Way of Securing n Seat In Street
Car for Lady.

Car for Lady.
NelV York Nal and Express
A Broadway car, which left the New
York Battery ut about 3 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, got its first passenger at the City
Hall Park in the person of what'th con-
ductor called dude. He was, in fact,
very gorgeous. His long coat tails pro-
trpded from under the tails of his short,
hght-coloI ed top-coat; his hands were en-
veloped ill the yellowest of kids; patent
ent leather shoes adorned his
feet, and his head was, in a
measure, held down by an immaculate
silk hat. He with great care deposited his
person in the comfortable lower corner OF
the car, and in an distracted manner look
ed for his fare. A search of the first and
customary pocket brought forth nothing.
Sudden pain seemed to disturb the young
gentleman's complaceut face. He dived
into three unsuccessful pockets, and then
from fourth hauled out triumphantly a
nickel. The young man was temporarily
relieved, but as the car got up town he
seemed troubled about something again.
BY the time the car got to Tenth street
it was completely filled. At Twelfth
street several people got in and crowded
the car. At Thirteenth street several Ia
dies were hanging on to the straps, and the
dude was the only man seated. At Four
teenth street some more people got in, and
among them was an old gentleman who
had in his charge sweet, faced, feeble old
lady. She stood up in front of the dude
and hung ON to the straps. She was
short little lady, and the position evidently
was painful one. But the dude looked
stonily out of the window. The old gen
tleman stared ut him. First witL dis
gust, then in contempt, and finally his
emotion was one of anger. Suddenly he
dived down in his trousers pocket. His
hand came up full of silver. Carefully
selecting four quarters from the pile, he
leaned over and touched the young man.
The dude looked up at him.
Young man, said the old gentleman,
extending the fourquarters, I'm give you
a dollar for your seat"
"Wha-what?" gasped the youth. Ev-
erybOdy snickered.
"Ill give dollar for your seat, repeat
ed the old gentleman.
The dude looked dazed. He glzed first
at the old gentleman's angry face. Then
his stare wandered over the car, then fas-
tened itself upon the four silver quarters.
"Wha-" he began. Then in more
dazed kind of a way, he reached out, took
the quarters, slowly got up, and, stumbling
off the platform wandered up Eighteenth
street.
The mild old lady, blushing as red as
if she had been Is instead of TO, sat down
in the vacant seat, the passengers smiled,
the old gentleman looked out of the win
dow, and the car bOwled merrily along.

SToCHS-The stock market showed a
marked decrease in the amount OF bust
ness done from that OF the past few days,
the influence Of the coming holidays being
felt and operations were mostly confined
to the professional traders. Western
Union was adversely affected by the in
production in Congress of the bill to admit
other companies to equal privileges with
it along the Central and Union Pacific
roads. The coal stocks, with the eNcep-
ton of Lackawanna, were very quiet and
St Paul was the only one of the grIngers
showing any activity. The opening WAS
strong, first prices showing advances Of
from to ; over closing prices yesterday.
There WAS moderate business only, with
prices irregular hut generally firm. Louis
Vile and Nashville was the only decidedly
strong stock, while New England was con-
spicuouS for It's wide fluctuations. The
market became dull toward noon, when
the advance was checked and a decline
