the cheap cab service. Said this man: 1.-The
system OF charging so much for a trip that
does not exceed fifteen blocks is all well enough
in some cases, but it might be very much SIM
plihed- Now. for instance this city is divided up
geographically into four sections and nv prop
csition u that certain charge, % cents il
ample. should be made for the trip from any
point in ore section 10 any other point in the
same section without taking the trouble TO esti-
mate the number Of squares that have been
t-aversed- 1t ia here that the cabman gets In
HIS deadly work Now, | claim that if - person
could take a cab at any point west of the Capt.
tol, tor instance, and ride to any place east OF
Rock creek and north of the avenue for quar-
ter the number of people who would ride in
cabs would increase so quickly that every one
would be astonished In some cases the ride
might be longer than is at present allowed by
law. but i feel pretty sure that the average
distance would not be more than fifteen
squares. In cases where the trip is from one
section to another perhaps the old. or rather
the present, system of ffteen-square trips
could be best used"

In a city ike this. that offers so many induce
nneuss to visitors and temporary residents. the
advantage that comes from a cheap and sys-
tematic cab service can hardly be overesti-
mated When y man feels that he can hail the
nrst cab that comes along and be taken to his
Destination for reasonable fee and knows that

NEW SCHEME.
The following scheme was evolved and the
results were precisely what were expected. One
morning She appeared at the ladies' entrance Of
the Baltimore and Potomac depot, CARRYING q
small hnnd satchel. She had got into the sta
ton without being seen by the cabmen, and to
all intents and purposes was a stranger, who
did not look penniless by any means. but who
knew nothing of the city Two or three cabs
were driven fu-iously toward her when she
signaled for one. She selected perhaps. the

know that until he got there He was

it Is pretty far, but I can take you there all
right He did and it cost rs cents Counting

Counting by time it was just fifteen minutes
By either rating it would probably have cos.
man so cents. The writer pointed to the dirty,
old printed card Of rates hung conspicuously
enough in the herdic. Why do YOU charge me
more than the rate?" "Wen, lady" was the
answer, that is what always get for coming
this far. And that is just exactly what he did
get on that occasion

corner OF 10th street and Pennsylvania avenue
and the weary wait for a cab began. At the end
OF thirteen minutes four-wheeler passed on
the south side of the avenue, but a vigorous
whistling and waving Of arms failed to attract
the slightest attention from the man on the
box Two minutes later another cab hove in

driver had 10 difficulty in finding job. No
bargain was made before entering the cab. a
