at was undecided whether congress
would pass as read certain very i'm

York papers were especially anxious
about it. The drift of opinion among
the correspondents was that it would
not so pass. On Monday night, say,
the correspondent Of one of the metro

that it positively would not go through.

WANTED HIS FARE RUNG UP.

An Italian Who Demanded Music OF
the Street Car Conductor.
The conductor of a Brooklyn trolley
car had a peculiar experience with an
Italian one night last week. The
Italian wanted to ride with music
thrown in for his cents. A passenger
described the incident:
II boarded the car with six other pas
sengers, including an Italian, at the
suburban ssad Of the road on one Of the
late trips. The car had gone q short
distance when the conductor began to
collect the fares. The Italian was on
the rear seat, and his money was col
lected last. Everything went well for
about half mile, when the Italian
jumped to his feet and waved his
hands at the conductor. The conductor
what the trouble was. The Italian
said:
Me wanta my fiva centa back
'The conductor told him that he
could not have the money. The Italian
insisted:
Livery boda getta music for fiya
centa; me no got
1.-THE conductor grasped the situation
at once, and, seeing that he was &C.
cused of 'nickeling,' started to clear
himself. He showed the Italian that
there were seven passengers on the
car and that that number of fares were
registered. He also explained why the
Italian did not get any music for his
nickel. He said:
"While collecting the fares in the
front part Of the car 1 rang up one
fare too much, and if I rang up yours
would be out 5 cents
while this explanation was going on
the man from Italy was still shouting
for his 'fiva centa,' and did not stop
until he got off the car farther down,
still jabbering at the conductor. New
