Coins and COmd ductOrR,

A new industry among street car conductors was revealed to a patient passenger on an up town Sixth avenue car the other day. The conductor. wht was in talkative mood. opened con versation by exhibiting a coin of q mintage which commands a premium and remarking that many such coins. which were carried as pocket pieces. came into the hands of himself and his fellow conductors in the course of a year. either from passengers who were temporarily oblivious more or less of their surroundings and their actions or from men who had gone broke and had to get up town.
 From that he passed to the topic of bogus coins. ingenuously cOnfessing that conductors who took bad quarters or half dollars by mistake and were too conscientious to try to work them off on passengers sold them at the car house to other conductors at a dis count of cents: The squeamish con- ductors. he explained. had rather lose cents than to try to pass tn" coins or to lose the face value of the coins The other conductors. he said. were always ready to make the 5 cents and there were of course always passen- gers available to whom the coins might be given in change.-New York Sun.
