Tbe Woman Had a Good Reason For
Not Paying the Nickel.
"The truth of the old proverb which
tells us that pride and poverty are
born companionsI was never so forci-
bly impressed upon my mind as it was
one day last week when i was riding
In a Broadway. New York. cable car."
said a commercial traveler to the writ:
er. "A lady entered the car accompany
fed by a little girl. The conductor
came around for the fare and the lady
handed him a nickel. ‘Fare for the
:hild. if you plcasc.‘ remarked the
reminder. The lady was intently ob-
serving sonic object out of the oppo-
site window and paid no attention to
what the conductor said. After a few
mliiuios' waiting the conductor again
renewed his request for the child's
fare. Again there was no attention
paid to his talk. Finally in a loader
and somewhat impatient tone aperu
emptory dcnmud was made for the
rare. This apparently brought the
lady to a realization of the situation,
and with an air of offended dignity
she replied: 'I suppose i know the
“1108‘ of this company. and there is
,no fare required of a child of this
sizc.’ The conductor was politely on
glaiiilug the rules that he worked un-
er when he was snapped up short in
his explanation by the lady. who loud-
ly-ufilrmed that she had been traveling
on the cars for months with thc self-
samo child. and had never paid any
farc. nor had she ever been insulted
before by being asked for it. ‘Moro
than that. i shall not pay it .now.‘ iihc‘
said. as she compressed her lips and
settled back in her seat with an air of
determination which bespoke her iii-
tention of staying there until the cable
were out. By this time a dozen or
more people in the car were interested
in the sltuation‘anii were anxious to
' see the outcome of it.
”‘l am sorry.‘ said the conductor.
‘bat the rules of this company must
be snfbrcod.‘
‘Withthat he reached for the bell
ropc. .
"Whatarc you going to do?" excitati-
ly asked the lady.
,“ 'l.anmgoing-to.plit1tiiat child on.‘
came the reply.
“ 'What. right here in this crowded
htrcetf' she shouted.
“ ‘Well. lam not going to riin the
car into anybody's store for your ac-
'commodutloa.’ coolly replied the cou-
ducior. . ., .. 4 . .
: “Seeing that...further struggle was
unless. the lady’s tone softened. and
with the blandest smile on her face,
but all the while, a tear sparkling
in her nympho said; 'I would pay you
in a minute. conductor. if i had the
changeuwuhnme. Bunnie fact is 1
about all my money up town except
that one nickel.‘ .

wood~rimmed wheels for this piirpse.
He stated that [or the same weight

such fly wheels has satisfied him that

is much i..o safer.

There has
also discussion emit; ozvaie under-
graduates about Commons, as the uni-
versity dining hall is known in college
parlance. A few men have been crlt.
icai' launch) comments. and the crit-
icismvhus reached the ears of Steward
Theory, and Treasurer Morris li‘. 'l‘y'ler.
oi the university. In order to make
known to the students just precisely
what is the university's connection
with. and its purpose in maintaining
the dining hall. the following state-
ment has been issued: .. -
The basis fertile regulation or the
price ot‘board‘, is an expense book. in
which in recorded every expense. in.
eluding coat of service and salaries...all
of which are kept as small as possible.
The current expense of every month
is recorded, and in addition every man
pays twenty-one cents per week, which
is not devoted to expenses. but goes
into a sinking land. As there was no
cudownicnt, the old gymnasium build;
lug was remodeled at a cost of $20,000.
borrowed from the university.
The sinking fund was started in or-
der to reiniburacths university for this
outlay. and in eight years the interest
and $12,000 of the principal have been
paid. When any improvements were
made. such as machinery and engines,
the cost. was taken from the sinking
fund. it was found necessary to 'do'
this as the men eating at the hall at
the tllne would liuvo been compelled
to pay for many things from which
those who followed also derived bene-
fit if these had been charged to gen-
eral caucuses.
In some cases it is impossible to
collect from men who leave before
graduation. and this amount Ia obtain-
ed from the sinking fund. The above
are the only purposes for which the
fund is used.
The cost of heard per week for each
man is determined every board month
of four Weeks in the following manner:
To all expenses is added the amount
paid for the sinking filed for the same
period. This sum is divided by the
number of board \vccksvfor example
it there are 300 men there are 1.200
board weeks in the mouth. and if the
total expense pitta the sinking filnd is
354.000 the cost her week is $4.50.
There are fl. few lllilIOl' matters
which are not generally understood.
Every man pays for his own share of
the breakage for the entire. establish-
ment. during the time he is in the hall.
if any man or waiter pays for his own
personal breakage. this is deducted. so
that nothing is paid for twice.
Extras are charged to the men who
order them, and the sum obtained in
this manner is subtracted. irom the
general expense account.
There is a laundry connected with
the. dining ball. so that more money
is saved and fresh linen is provided
daily.
The university will have reason to
feel proud of the new dining hall. now
under construction. which will be. Bllpv
plied. with all the modern appliances.
and the coat of board will probribly be
decreased. while the quality of food
will be improved.
The interior of tile hiill will be beau-
tifully finished. and will be lighted by
electricity. it will be 200 feet. long. by
do in width. with a scaling capacity of
l.200. Every effort will be made to
have everything satisfactory. and ti
few changes are under consideration.
which will be more convenient for the
boarders. It will probably be ar-
ranged so that private clubs may be
accommodated. and possibly there will
be under stewards for these clubs. as
there are in private boarding houses
in such a case the hand man will stand
between the students and the manage
mom. and all complaints and sugges-
tions will be made to NHL—NOW
Haven Leader.
WOMAN HOLDS A BURGLAR.
Giauten Mllllner Too Much for a Hart-
ford Rogue.
Mrs. E. .i. Lotstlth supposed to be
the largest. luilliner in the country.
caught a burglar dead to rights. chv
ncsday night. in her milliiicry estab-
lishment at No. Milli Main street.
Bridgeport. "l‘lio lllilll gave his name
as Henry Johnson and said he belonged
in Hartford. The police think he is a
second-story operator and a burglar
of experience.
Mrs. Lotstiib weighs about. 300
pounds and is considerably over six
feet tall. This accounts for her easy
capture of the burglar. Silo discovered
him in her apartments late Wednes-
day night and with rare presence of
mind closed the door. The burglar was
a prisoner. lie pushed against the
door bilt her 300 pounds were behind
it and she held to the knob while she
shouted lustily for the police.
The police heard her cries and the
burglar was arrested. lie said that he
was a laborer in Hartford. Ail exam.
tactics of his hands shoWedthat they
were white and soft as a bube’s and
the police doubt his statement that he
works with the pick and shovel.
Some. time before he was captured
the residence of Marcus Wheeler was
entered by a burglar. When a member
of tlio faintly returned home the house
was found to have been ransacked. 'l‘ho
burglar left a package containing dia-
monds and jewelry. It is supposed be
was frightened away. it is believed
that Johnson was concerned in this
case. From what the police learned of .
Johnson's actions they think he is. an
experiences burglar.
