A NOVELTY IN TRAMWAY TICKETS.

At Quincey, Illinois, the tranicar companies have adopted a ticket which they hope will help tram conductors to identify passengers riding with transfer tickets to which they are not entitled. The new ticket is printed with four human faces—one, one of a bearded man, one of a man with only a moustache, and one with a man clean-shaven, the fourth being that of a woman. When a conductor gives a transfer ticket he punches out the face most nearly resembling the person to whom he gives it. Thus a full-bearded man presenting a ticket punched through any of the other three faces would bo known to be a fraud.
