ON THE LOITER.
THE CROWD IN THE STREET CAR.
Perhaps you have seen a profes-
sor and his assistants haul the
drag-net over the bottom of a
bayou bring it on shore again and
then with an Inordinate delight
examine the curious catch. An in-
stitution strangely similar to the
drag-net is the street car of this
cosmopolitan town and it might
be said with considerable truth
that the catch of the wheeled drag-
net as it hurries through the town
on its schedule trips is far more
varied and far more interesting
than the haul of the professor’s
contrivance no matter how fine
the meshes.
As interesting a collection of hu-
man characters as a person cares
to find in the course of a short ex-
cursion can be found on almost
any street car that is bound for
the suburbs between the close of
the day’s work and the breaking
in of night. This is due not be-
cause only characteristic people
live in the suburbs but rather to
the fact that a suburban car line
passes through a largely populat-
ed territory comprising many dif-
ferent quarters or settlements as
one might say for each of which
quarters it usually carries one or
more passengers. The other eve-
ning I had the good fortune to get
into ac rowded car in which
passenger was considerable of a
character. They were white they
were biack chocolate color of a
half a dozen different nationalities
and as many more vocations.
On the seat near the front end
sat a middled aged woman her
face one vast smile of kindness.
Leaning against each of hPr knees
was a meek bowed youngster in
knee breeches and a calico waist.
Each carried his little slouch hat
in his hand while their smiling
mother continually stroked their
short but very poorly cut hair
looking around her to see if her fel-
low passengers did not observe her
kindliness. One soft-headed woman
observed quite audibly “what a
dear mother!” Indeed more than
one passenger was gullible enough
to believe that life for those two
meek little lads must be “pie” so
to speak. But if the lads 1 will
venture to say from neighboring
experience would care to confide
their life story they would iproba-
bly assure you that their pie is
birch hickory mesquite or long
leaf pine whatever happens to be
handiest and that the motherly
stroking when in the secluded pre-
cinct of home is done on an entirely
different side of their anatomy. A
parent’s right to chastise a child
undoubtedly comes in the cate-
gory of sacred things that are
“none of your business” but when
a strong woman clubs with a pine
plank or mesquite limb a mere
stripling of humanity the affair
loses a good deal of its sanctity
and becomes a fit subject for police
court investigation —at any rate
soft headed street car passengers
ought to have some protection
from being imposed upon by such
a woman publicly fondling her
meek and bowed youngsters dur-
ing the course of a three-mile street
car ride.
Next to the fondling smiling
dear mother sat four negro women
and on the seat just opposite thepi
sat two more. There was a jet black
gentleman with a rusty colored
derby that well matched his com-
plexion while new. A German
emigrant and her 'daughter to-
gether with an armful of bundles
each between which was laid a
Bleeping baby were also in the car
but all sat quietly in their seats
while the six negro women did the
entertaining. The two women on
one seat led ofl in every conversa-
tion the four sitting opposite them
merely filling in with a very ear-
nest “yesm” or “that’s so” at every
opportune moment.
“1 thought you’s gunner walk
down town Mollie” said a bony
faced chocolate colored damsel
dressed in a loose white puffy gar-
ment.
“Nome I was skeered that Mer-
lindy ’d miss the train if we’d
walk” answered Mollie who was
rigged out in the height of typical
negro gaudiness of a silk dress
with several conspicuous rents a
very tightly laced corset that gave
her the shape of an hour-glass. In
fact the tight lacing showed so
much of her anatomy up under her
chin that a locket attached to a
chain around her short neck lay
fiat on the part of the dress that
extended on an al most perfect level
from the neck to upper edge of the
corset. “That’s why I likes bosses”
continued Mollie “because you kin
always have ’em handy and never
gits late nowhere.”
“Yesm” observed the four
women on the opposite seat.
The chocolate-colored companion
of Mollie in the loose white dress
pulled her husband’s large straw
hat down tightly over her ears
with both hands to prevent it
blowing out of the car window. “I
know where you kin git a boss for
four and a half dollars” she said.
“You kin?” asked Mollie.
“My ” observed the four women
on the opposite seat to show their
interest in the conversation.
“I tell you though” said she of
chocolate complexion and her hus-
band’s straw hat “I wouldn’t buy
one.”
“No?” asked Mollie.
“Street cars is heap cheaper” ob-
served one of the four on the oppo-
site seats.
“Well I’ll tell you” explained
she of chocolate complexion and
her husband’s straw hat “I don’t
believe in ownin’nothing. If you
aint got nothing it’s no re-
sponsibility” and she dragged
out each syllable of the word re-
sponsibility in a manner that im-
pressed everybody that she was
making a good point. “If you’ve
got something it’s responsibility;
if you got nothing it’s no respon-
sibility” she repeated both for
emphasis and fuller explanations.
“That’s so” said the four women
on the opposite seat.
“Wonder if the street car man
knows our train?” said the choco-
late colored one.
Just then the motorman cut off
the power and put on the brakes.
“Chickentown!” he yelled and
every lady laughed.
“Chickentown ! listen to that!”
exclaimed tightly-laced Mollie.
“Recon he calls it Chickentown
cause our husbands alius buys
chickens on Sunday isn’t it Mr.
Motorman?”
“Yes” said he with a twinkle in
his eye “that’s where all the chick-
ens go to!” And he loosened the
brakes and ran the deserted car to
the end of the line. Loiterer.

No 106 Commerse Street
Lunatic on a Steeply.
From the Boston Post.
A man was discovered standing
on the narrow cornice near the
apex of the steeple on Essex street
church in Salem at about dusk
last evening and several hundred
spectators had soon gathered in
the street to watch him In one
hand he held a paint pot and in the
other a brush. Occasionally he
turned toward the people below
and grimaced at them. Then shif-
ting his position he went on vig-
orpusly painting the steeple. Al-
though the cornice on which be
stood was only about 6 inches wide
he kept his balance apparently
without effort and paid no heed to
the warning cries from below. The
police were finally notified and a
policeman climbed up inside the
belfry to the aperture through
which the man had evidently
made his way to his place on the
cornice. Here the police was with-
in easy talking distance of the
man who seemed to regard the
matter as a great joke. By a pretext
the painter was induced to descend
and once Inside he was seized by
the policeman and taken into
custody. It was then learned that
his name was Jeremiah Donovan
and that he was a painter in the
employ of Thomas Norton a local
decorator. Donovan who has been
drinking heavily lately was taken
this morning to the Danvers
Asylum.
A Dog’s Protest.
A Newark (N. J.) dog appeared
to imbibe a deep hatred of trolley’
cars after one has run down and
killed a man in that place a few
weeks ago. Any person getting off a
car was received with every de-
monstration of delight by the
animal but all who stepped on
board were growled at in anger.
A day or two ago the dog while
running in front of a car and bark-
ing at it was run down and killed.
Advising a Poet.
Englishmen can be severely
caustic in a very neat w’ay. Mr.
Labouchere relates that a poet
desirous of the laureateshly was
bitterly complaining to a friend in
London club of the conspiracy’ ot
silence that was waged by critics
against his effusions. “How ought
I to meet this conspiracy?” he
asked. “John it” replied the friend.
