| Most of the hogs infesting the public convey
ances oil New York. TO which The Bun has
been devotng considerable attention are n
nuisance alike to both sexes. Women no
| doubt are filed with greater loathing than
men by the displays OF his swinish nature
Put OF one variety OF tho detestnblo species
women are the sole victims. In vulgar par
lance, he Is the "masher" hog, and his num-
bers are many. Every fair face is his victim
and no womunly modesty Is too sacred Tor his
assaults. In his worst form-and, alas, his
worst form Is so common that IT Is known oil
al women he dares 90 to eXtremitics which
his victim II unprotected, Is poweresS to ado
quately resent. For him 10 punishment Is too
severe There need be no hesitation about re-
sorting to extreme measures in dealing with
this manner OF beast. A cowhide. club or the
too OF boot is the only adequate medicine
Why should women silently submit to tho In
suits OF theso creatures. when there are decent
men within call? Often the grossest insults
given by these sleek hogs are Invisible or in
audible to other passengers. Is II nnwomanly
under such circumstances for mn insuliod
woman to say TO any gentleman present:
May appeal to you. sir. Ia relieve mo Of
this mans insults"
And is there decent man on Mani nttan Isl
and one without cbiyalry and manhood enough
to deal with that hog in The most summary
way in response to such an appeal Nor is II
true gentlomans duty simply responsive Let
him take the initiative In any case Of manifest
ANNOYANCE OF n lady by one OF these cattle For
his own justification he should seek some such
tGcit remission as is involved in asking II
question. ms:

Then II he puts the hog out Of The ear with a
few sound kicks and blows. he will have done II
praiseworthy public service The man who
undertakes the suppression Of this nuisance
need not tear any violent retaliation or police
court experience, The masher is always II
coward and he Will take u tbraShtnQ ami run
