They Do Not Mind the Pennies.

Experience has made the men Of the
fruit stands overcautious in handling
coin above the size Of 10 cent piece.
The larger pieces they will test upon the
pavement or sink their teeth into in a
tentative fashion. 1t is to be noted,
however, that whenever q customer
makes penny purchase they pocket his
change without scanning it--almost
hastily indeed. There Is deep reason in
this procedure.
For one thing, nobody counterfeits
the cent piece; it is too cheap. For an
other thing, the fruit dealer knows that
no coin of smaller denomination is pass
ing into his hands. For a third thing,
and this is the most important, there is
always a chance that the customer is
deceived himself and is handing over q
nickel, dime or one of the minor gold
pieces, under the impression that he is
paying but penny. If he looks satisfied
and starts to go away, he is not likely
to be called back to get the change. DC
casionally some such involuntary wind
fall comes the way of the fruit man.

the following is good example:

Against ticket scnIpers.

The Post last week published an article
regarding ticket scalpcrs. The same sub
ject is being treated in the East ut this
time. The following is from the Globe
Democrat:
An argument supported by facts was
made last week at Washington, before the
senate committee on interstate commerce,
by Mir. George II. Daniels, general passen-
gor agent of the New York Central, IN
advocacy OF the anti-scalpcr bill Mr. Dan
the more prosperous roads against those
that are insolvent and also TO protect
them against countcrfelting. He opposed
the ticket brokerage bushes as n whole,
saying the public should be satisfied when
the railroad company. selling ticket.
made provision for its redemption at full
price. but he argued that the business was
especially reprehensihle, because Ii opened
the door 10 so much fraud. He exhibited
large number OF countcrfeits, most of
thom covering long distances MIR. Daniels
said that In most eases these were skill
fully executed and that their detection was
not possible for n period Of six weeks or
more. In these cases the tickets covered
case of single roads there was a practice
of taking the names of stations from short
distance tickets by means of acids and
substituting for them stations at longer
distance Mr.. Daniels also called atten-
ton to the traffic In passes. which was
he said, largely promoted by the scalpers.
