Street-Car Manners.--In the course of
some editorial remarks on ''Street-Car Man
ners' an exchange says I'm the Baltimore
street cars the most insufferable nuisance is the
fellow who crosses his legs and compels, every
one who goes along the aisle TO stumble over
his foot or to walk around it. The man who
keeps his muddy foot on his knee and wipes it
ON the gown of every woman that passes along
is more than public nuisance. He is intoler-
able and should not be permitted to ride in the
cars at all. 1t might be well for the next
Legislature to require the street car companies
to provide kind of Jim Crow car for leg
crossers and foot wipers, so that quiet, law
abiding citizens would not be subjected to
them. And in providing separate cars for
them perhaps the double deck cattle car would
be most appropriate. Fortunately for our peo-
pie, there are not very great many men who
make this public exhibition of bad manners.
There are other ways by which street-car
passengers are subject to Inconvenience of a
minor character. Among these is the habit of
crowding in the door or on the platform and
incemmoding those who enter or leave the
car, although there may be plenty of room at
the front. Perhaps this trouble could be in
some measure relieved by permitting passen-
gers to enter and leave the cars by the front
door as we'll as the rear one, as is done in

some than in the street cars. In no circum-
stances can a real lady or a real gentleman be
recognized more readily than when travelling.
