STREET CAR FARES.
Incidents That Led Up to the Two Dollar
Change Rule,

Incidents That Led Up to the Two Dollar
Change Rule,
The court of appeals of the city Of
New York, in the matter of making
change on street railroads, has de-
cided that conductors need not
change S. in order to collect a single
fare All street railroad companies
are required to have rule to the
effect that the conductors furnish
change to the amount of So. Beyond
this they need not go unless they
choose. If the conductor demands
fare and the passenger has nothing
less than S. with which to pay it,
the conductor is upheld by law in
stopping the car and requesting the
passenger to get off. Failing to do
this, he can use reasonable force in
ejecting the delinquent. Actions for
assault and battery which under
almost any other circumstances
would hold are not admitted in
cases like this in New York state
1t is not difficult to see how it
might be extremely announcement,
if not impossible, for a conductor to
change So notes for cent fares.
The conductor starts out with but q
small amount of change, and it
might occur that a number of per-
sons had no small bills.
Some years ago a conductor on a
street railroad in a western city,
who was understood as not particu-
larly obliging, was made the victim
of a practical joke that nearly upset
him. A couple of young women
boarded a car on their way down
town. They really had no change
and nothing smaller than IS. They
offered it, and the conductor rather
rudely declined to take it. There
was no law or rule limiting the
amount he was to make change for,
so the girls insisted, and the man
had no alternative but to stop his
car at a corner and go into a store
and get the change. He was delayed
and came back very angry, in con-
sequence of which he made some
remarks not strictly in accordance
with the usages of polite society,
ending up with the declaration that
if those girls came on his car again
with a So note to change he would
put them off A few days afterward
a demure looking damsel boarded
his car at long distance up town.
She offered a SIS bill with an apollo
gy, saying it was the smallest she
had and would he please change it.
He attempted to do so and succeeded
only after all the other passengers
had paid in their fares.
A few blocks lower down, on came
another miss with another S. note.
This the man was obliged to get
change at a store near by where he
always stopped to water his horses.
Some distance farther this expe-
rience was repeated, until, before
the shopping district was reached,
seven S. bills had been presented by
seven young women, who from all
appearances would never SO much
as permit butter to melt in their
mouths. Long before No. z made
her appearance the passengers had
caught the little game, and as the
conductor was known to be of an ex-
ceedingly irascible disposition they
had their own fun over it. The girls
did not even look at one another,
nor did they give a single hint that
they were acquainted.
1t is doubtless incidents of this
sort that have made the restriction
to 81 necessary. New York Ledger.

VEIith a better understanding OF the
w transient nature of the many phys
zeal ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
" removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. It's beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. It's therefore
all important, in order to get it's bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, thatyou have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep

at once. The articles are ready now
to be filed with the secretary of state.
1t is a combination of about all of the
electric power and gas interests of the
state at the present time under one
head. Remembering the treatment
they have received at the hands of
one of the principal corporations that
has been serving patrons in this city
with gas and electric light within the
past year, the people will naturally
have some grave fears regarding the
kind of treatment they will receive
from this new corporation. 1t is to be
hoped that the rights of patrons will
be respected and that the business of
the new corporation will not be con-
Quoted on the principle of the public
be id. If light, power and heat is
furnished at a reasonable price, and
patrons can be sure of respectful treat
ment when they visit the companyss
office to have wrongs righted, the new
corporation will be gladly welcomed.
The establishment of any enterprise
which develops the natural resources
of the state should receive the encour
agement of the people and the press,
but in all things the interest of the
people comes first and their rights must
not be infringed. Franchises are
granted and certain privileges, almost
exclusive in their character are grant
ed to private corporations because it
is expected that it will be for the pub
lie good, but when the corporation
turns around and compels the people
to pay two or three prices for a serv-
ice rendered which could not be rem
dered were it not for the rights and
privileges granted them by the very
people whom they are robbing, then
there is room for righteous Indignation,
and the people have an inherent right
TO protest with vigor. Fortunately
there is a very good law on the statute
books of this state, whereby The rights
of the people can be preserved against
the encroachments of trusts and COM
binations.

AMERICAN LETHARGY.

full OF the opportunities Americans are
losing by neglecting to place their prod

tries of the orient No nation on the
face of the globe is so swift in inven-
ton and no people are more observant
OF the competitive laws of trade than
Americans. but under the blight of tar
if and the curse of trusts we appear
to expend our productive force upon
ourselves. Absorbed in the idea that
a home market supply is sufficient to
produce all the prosperity demanded
by nation of 10000, 600 people, we are
content to see Germany and even Rus

and build I'D a trade which naturally

TEsLA's LATEST EXPLOIT.

Nikola Tesla is a great man, and
some scientists pronounce him greater
than Edison, though practical results
are yet in favor of the latter. In New
York on Wednesday, Tesla announced
the completion of his greatest achieve
ment-the simultaneous transmission of
MESA ges by means of the earth's cleo
trical currents to as many scattered
points on the surface of the globe as
may be desired.
We must wait little while before
this discovery can be pronounced a
fact or a fiction, but the chances are
that something new has been learned
even if failure succeeds experiment.
The possibilities of electricity are
boundless. Even Marie Corelli may be
right, after all, in her Romance of
Two Worlds" The building of her
novel is on the theory that the universe
is the result of an electrical power pro-
ceeding from the great center where
dwells God, and her heaven is not the
heaven of golden streets and winged
seraphs, but an electrical heaven. Who
can tell?
Tesla and Edison are great men and
the age needs such men. The world
is out of joint in its social and financial
problems and people worry themselves
into the grave in apprehension that the
next generation will be swept from the
earth by some great calamity. But
every day proves that the exploitation
of science will bring all things under
the control of man and human affairs
will be readjusted in the end.
