about the depots and on the thoronghfares

CASH AND TICKETS.
How the Street Car Companies Get
Their Nickels and Dimes.

Some time ago / read a chat in The Star
with a conductor one of the surface
lines that the companies received a large
proportion of their nickel and silver chicken
feed In the shape Of nickels and dimes from
the fares paid by colOred riders, and Won
dering why one class of riders would pay
cash and another tickets for fares, 1 made
mental note of the fact and afterward
conf1ded my observations to penciled notes."
said regular patron on the electric cars.
"I found that the statement was true,
and after I had continued my observations
for some time 1 was surprised that 1 had
not noticed it before. The colored resi-
dents of this city are very fond OF riding
irons of all lines. Out of 200 colored riders
my notes show that go paid their fares in
cash, paying either in nickels. or when a
dime or a quarter was rendered taking
change instead, in the latter instance re-
ceiving tickets. 1t was comparatively rare
that tickets were requested or q ticket ten-
dered. / have seen two and three cash
fares paid out OF quarter tnnumerable
times, and once or twice even four cash
fares out Of quarter. Indeed, it is al
most an accepted fact that a colored rider
will hand out the cash eight times out Of
ten.
"The contrary is true with the white pa.
trons Out of 300 cases 255 rendered or
purchased tickets. 1t Is the exception to
the rule that q white rider Will pay cash
for a single fare. and when he or she pays
the fare of another or several persons a
purchase Of tickets is almost invariable. As
my observations progressed they became an
Interesting study of city life. They were
confirmed by the statements Of several con-
ductors l spoke with. They all said that
their quarters came from the white patrons
and their nickels and dimes from the COLI
ored. and that the condition under discus
sion was one of the first which impressed
them when they began to collect fares:
that they, as a rule. said tickets to
white patron upon receiving q quarter or
larger piece Of money. and change to the
colored. They all agreed that II 1t were not
for the colored riders the companies would
suffer from the dearth OF nickels and dfmes
for change.
'.Not being a socio'oeist I am not pre-.
pared to give a satisfactory reason for
these two divergent traits Of the different
races The regular patron who buys tick
cts is the gamer, while the company gaina
on the cash fares. 1t may be just a habit
or that the incomes Of the colored riders
do not permit the expenditure at one time
OF the maximum amount for tickets, but

are a confirmation of one of the peculiari.

that in 1883 the deaths from these
diseases were efRhty-one thousand

From that date the number of deaths

MAKES 1T MORE DIFFICULT
WAR DEPARTMENT EMBARRASSED
BY DELAY ON ARMY hill.
Fears Plans to Keep an Effective
Force in Philippines May
Miscarry.

1t Is learned at the War Department that
the only purpose of General Miles visit 10
the Senate during the consideration of the
army bill was to secure an amendment TO
the bill authorizing a bounty Of $500 to eacn
soldier in the Philippines who re-enlists for
term Of three years. The amount men-
toned represents about the actual cost to
the government of the return of soldier
discharged in the Philippines to his place OF
enlistment in the United States and his re-
placement by fresh recruit.
The War Department Is very much EN-
barrassed by the delay in congressional ac-
tion on the proposition for an increased
army. The great majority Of the troops in
the Philippines must be discharged by the
Both Of June next. The problem before the
department is how their places can be filed
before that date without reducing the army
in the Philippines much below the 60,UU0
limit of safety fixed by General Macarthur
and approved by the President and the Sec
retary Of War. The plan Of the War De-
partment has been to bring the volunteers
home gradually in advance of the explra-
tion Of their terms of enlistment, and re-
place them at the same time with an equal
number of fresh troops from the United
States, with a view Of maintaining the
army at a strength Of G0,O0O.
Many military officials are apprehensive
that this plan cannot be carried out within
the short time intervening before the dis
bandment of the present volunteer army,
and say that if the government is deter
mined to keep an effective force of $4,000
men in the Philippines until fresh recruits
are sent from the United States. it will be
necessary to keep most of the volunteers in
the Philippines up to the very end of their
terms Of enlistment. June 80 discharginS
them there instead OF bringing them to San
Francisco and dischargng them at that
point before the date mentiC ned. The
officials are very much averse to sucn a
course, and it would undoubtedly be strong
ly opposed by the volunteers and their
friends, who have been led to believe taat
the troops would be returned to the United
States before June 80 and discharged in this
country.
1t is now believed, however, that the War
Department will postpone the return of a
majority of the volunteers until the very
latest date, rather than risk the dangers
and disasters that might result from any
ma terial reduction of the military force IN
the Archipelago.
Arrangements have been made at the de-
partment to recruit the proposed new army
as rapidly as possible after the necessary
authority from Congress is secured, but II
is recognized that that is an enormous uu-
dertaking, requiring considerable time and
the attention of more officers than are now
available for the purpose.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,

On Friday last the Public Schools
gave an exhibition of the work done
during the term. In Prof. Foresman
room, the work was excellent and
all deserving of credit to the teachers
and pupils, and among the best work
I mention that on Bertha Hand,
Bertha Wood andIFrank Call. In
Prof. Tbomson's room the work was
up and equal to the High School
work and it would be hard to pick
out from the work the most deserv-
ing of mention. For penmanship
and composition l will, however,
mention the names of those l consid-
cred the bestN Mabel Cope, <Rolin
Smith and Eta Lansdon. In Miss
Smiths room | found good work and
many pupils deserving OF mention,
but | failed to get their names. In
miss Watson's room the work of
penmanship, composition and map
drawing was found to be excellent
and the ones l considered the best
are> Hazel Hopkins, Bessie Grey and
Olive Shaw. MissS Reyes, being
sick, no work was on exhibition in
her room. In Miss Coston's room
are found the beginners 1t is wor-
thy of mention to find such an ad.
vancement during one term, and the
little ones are all deserving of credit,
and their patriotic songs pleased me.
Miss Wyatt's school was the last
visited, and | must say that the
whole school was dong excellent
work. | can only recall to mind the
names of Misses Rickson, Mary
Abry and Master Claude Pence an(
Harry O'Toole, although Others
should be mentioned. l have visited
schools in the east and must say tina
our schools stand equal to the bes
of them, and the parents should en-
deaver to visit the schools and SCI
the work done by their name.
