we see passengers alighting from cars with
exasperating slowness, talking with friends
remaining in the cars, and the conductor
patiently clutchipg the bell strap, waiting
to start his car! Pretty frequently, your
bound to admit. You rarely see anything
like that in any other large city. The con-
ductors in other cities will not stand for
that sort Of thing, and I've often seen them
angrily snap the bell signal for the car TO
start ahead before dilly -dalfying passengers
had chance to get off. The slow folks
had to get off at the next corner. They
could protest to the conductors all they
chose they only got ripped up in choice
BiIlfngsgate, and that was the end OF IL.
Again, I've seen the conductors in other
cities start their cars before alighting pas
sengers were safely on the ground, and
that is something that | have never seen
in Washington. On the contrary, when a
Washington street car conductor sees that
one of his passengers, about to get on. is
old or infirm or crippled, he invariably steps
to the ground himself and assists such a
passenger to aIight. He helps such pas
sengers on the cars In the same way. I've
seen the Washington conductors do this
often during the past three years. do you
know what New York conductor OF a
street car often does when he sees. ahead,
an infirm or lame passenger waiting to get
on his car? He snaps the bell twice, to
signal the motorman to keep right on go
ing and then he turns to the men standing
| on the rear platform and says something
about hts not 'runnin' no home FIR incur
ables or nottin' Like dat
Treatment of Children.
| you never see children, especially little
girls riding alone On the street cars of the
| big towns like Chicago or New York. Be
| cause why? Because the people with chill
| dren In those cities know by experience
| that the conductors pay no attention to
children when asked by the tots to be put
off at certain streets, and they don't want
| to lose their young ones and be put to the
| necessity of sending out general alarms fol
| them. You see any number of small chill
| dren riding alone on the street cars Of
