ExTRAoRDINARY CONDUCTOR
The Passensers on His Car Were
q Awed by His Geniallfy and
GalInntry.

Somewhere in this city the cable car
conductors have a champion. who is
evidently exerting his utmost TO de-
stroy the many uncomplimentary re-
marks that have often been made re-
garding the ungentlemanly conduct
and lack Of politeness on the part Of
his brother associates. When the pa
tron OF the cable or electric car comes
under the influence Of this particular
individual the impression Is lasting.
The existence Of this conductor was
Unexpectedly discovered by a pas
senger last week. who, while passive
y observing a handsome young wom-
an enter the car. suddenly saw her
turn with an angry glance upon the
uniformed bell ringer behind her. His
hand was upon her arm; that was un-
mistakable. But the passengers ris-
ing indignation was promptly quelled
by hearing in polite words:
II saw that your hands were full Of
bundles, lady; let me take you 70 a
seat"
She bowed her thanks, smiling, and
others smiled, too, with feelings OF
amusement and surprise. The Incl
dent soon passed, and the car bowled
along. The next Passenger was an old
woman carrying basket, suggestive
Of household produce from the mar
ket.
let me help you on the car,
madam, and give me your basket"
was the CHEEKY words from the rear
OF the car that caused the passengers
to crane their necks in that direction.
There's seat right up in front
where III put your basket" continued
the conductor, unabashed by the eyes
riveted upon him, and, holding the
old woman's arm, he escorted her with
the grace OF a church usher to the seat.
You said you wanted to get off at
Ninety-fourth street, believe" was
the next evidence of the mans gent
ality, as he approached a young wom-
an near the center of the car, and
evidently stranger in the city. ''It
will be the next block" As she hasti-
ly started to rise, he called out:
"Wait until the car stops; there is
plenty of time" and he saw that she
had safely left the steps before pulling
the bell cord.
By this time the car was pretty well
crowded, yet the conductor, with more
observation than is usually displayed,
several passengers to move
up and make seats for those standing.
While he was in the front of the car
ringing up fares a gray-haired matron
near the rear got up to leave. She /
waved petulantly with her hand, and
the idea being interpreted Alright, the
goodrnatured reply came back:
"You won't be carried past, lady. /
Wait until / get there and see that
you get off all right"
AS the passenger arose to leave, his
remarked: "Wen, l de-
clare. Did you ever see anything like
