THE BARRIERS.

Some OF the Queer Customers Who VISIT
Them.
Have we any peculiar customers
Well, should say so," echoed al EN-
ployee of ono Of Lancaster's first class
barber shops, as All lNTELLIGENCER repor-
ter settled himself comfortably in chair.
More SO, perhaps, than you would sup
pose could be found in Lancaster barber
ing establishment. Why, customers come
here with peculiarities enough to create a
strong inclination to kick them out.
There was a man in here to day, whose
crankiness would have tried the patience
of Job," and the knight of tonsoral
implements emphasized his remarks
with a iiendish dig of the scis.

his hands, and whacked off the hair with
almost satanic pleasure. What did | g
do? Well, he plunged himself into a
chair, and gave me to understand that he
wanted good shave. That was all
right ; but he thought the lather wasn't
all right. Then he howled out that the
razor was worse than an old saw. | pot
another. That wasn't any better. Then
! tried a third which suited him. But [
didn't tell him it was the same old razor
used on him first. Another thing some
men do is to think they ought to help the
barber, and with this laudable desire they
puff out their checks, hump up their lips
or draw them halfway into their mouth,
and imagine they should be charged only
five cents, because they aid us SD much.
But it's the worst thing they can do. AS
we shave we have our eyes right on the
spot where we want to land the razor, and
when a man makes a sliding place from
the end of his chin into his mouth. or
rams out his upper lip as if he wanted to
make an impromptu elephantiae proboscis
and catch peanuts with it, he has every
chance of being cut; in which case he
bloSses the barber. Now a stout man
who is the easiest of mortals to shave
has his checks and lips extended enough,
and lean man. with his facial hollOws
and hills, is shrunxen in sufficiently, to
get good shaves without generously al
tempting. to help the barber.
Now, there's another thing that peo-
pie don't think rightly about, and there
fore have wrong impressions of the barber.
Nearly every day you see something in
the papers about the talkativeness of
BARRIERS. Why,sir, they're all Ebels," and
iha words were daily given proper empha-
SIS by the tcn&orial hands, which gyrated

to be i'll a mules feet taking terpsichorean

What in the great goodness are we to
do when q customer comes in and wants
to know how we are getting along, how
we like the weather, aud begins to tell Us
all about himself? We can't stand still
like dummies. We must answer him or
he thinks we are uncivil, and then won't
come again. The barber is down trod

THE irrepressible eX-Mayor w. y.
Stauffer turns up again as candidate
for Office. This time he wants to be al
derman Of the Second ward. He has
secured the nomination of his party by
the liberal Interpretation which thejudge
of the primary election put upon the
claims of the right to vote of all those
who intended to vote for Stauffer. He
ought not to be elected to the Office he
seeks because he is too persistent and
importunate an office seeker, and because
he has already demonstrated in his Off
cial experience that as an alderman he
would be too rapacious for fees. When
he was mayor he took illegal fees and
sued tho lNTEliIVj:NCERf for saying so.
We proved it to his own satisfaction SO
completely that he withdrew the suit,
but he never paid the money into the
county treasury. For alderman Of the
Second ward w. d. Stauffer will not do.

persons came after that. Quite num-
ber of visiting ladies and gentlemen were
present and We're greatly pleased with
their reception. Tho grand march, owing
to late arrival OF many, was delayed until

given to the committee of arrangements
for the manner in which things were con-
Quoted. There were no bitches, but
everything passed off pleasantly and

still larger scale, will be held immediately

SATURDAY EVENING, FEB. 3. 1893.
PunisIlments of the Law.

A Brooklyn bill poster, sentenced to
Imprisonment for life for what was
really murder, shot himself through the
heart, showing that he preferred death to
life immurement. In speaking of his
sentence a day or two ago one of the
New York journals editorially expressed
the opinion that life Imprisonment was
not much of a punishment, as convict
always entertained the hope of being re-
leased after few years had passed and
hepublic recollection of his crime had
been dimmed. This particular convict
had said to a newspaper reporter that he
knew that he was done with life for
time, but had seemed to think that he
was not done with it forever and upon
this apparent hope was founded the edl-
torial expression which the murderer
now shows by his voluntary death to
have been unsubstantially based. The
fact probably is that death is a very
mild sort of punishment and that to a
reasonable mind it is preferable to even
a few years of prison life. A great deal
of course, depends upon the individual,
his education, association and tastes.
To some men imprisonment is hardly
anything of punishment to others
it is certainly worse than death.
The trouble is that the law does not con-
slider men S natures in awarding its pun
ishments SO that it happens that men
are very unegually punished. The judge
probably tries to measure out his sen
tences equally, and keeps list of
certain number of months or years of
Imprisonment assigned to each. But he,
hardly more than the statutes he ad-
ministers, has regard to the character Of
the criminal in Judging the severity of
his punishment. lie does not know much
about lin. He may know what his po-
sition i'm life has been, but even then he
does not feel at liberty to use his knOwl-
edge to modify his sentence, the idea
being that a mam is a man, and that
the same number of days of impriSon-
meEt for like offenses should be measured
out to each.
1t is all mistake. Some men might
profitably be hanged for comparatively
mild offences, while others would be
more severely punished for murder by
imprisonment than they would be by
death. Some men are very worthless,
constantly committing crime and con-
stantly in prison. They enjoy u prison.
1t is no punishment to send them there.
But they would hate ever SO much to lie
hung. y threat Of the gallows would
probably shock them into good citizen
ship. Such men ought to have
the gibbet held up before them as
the laws award for their crimes.
And they are about the only kind
of people whom there is any good
in hanging. The people who murder are
generally the hot-headed who do not
stop to think of the punishment of their
crime when they commit if. The quiet
ude and restraint of the penitentiary
would he their severest punishment, as
it would be the best medicine for their
turbulent spirit. Some OF these days,
when the world is wiser, there will be
less hanging done and less imprisoning
too; but more logging 10 prisoner
was ever known to be fond of that.

Blowing Open tho safe a5 Ruttsr & Isair' y
A gang of burglars visited New UOllaI d
early this morning. Sometime between
and O'Clock a IN, they effected an en-
trance into Rutter s. BaiG's store by pry-
ing open the front doors, inserting a
crowbar between them and breaking the
lock in their effort to get in. They
robbed the money drawer of 4 few dollars
in change that had been left in it, and then
turned their attention to the safe. They
drilled a hole just below the lock,
filled it with powder, and, evidently,
after touching it off went outside to
await results. They got more than they
bargained for. Their blast exploded with
terrific force, shattering all the glass of
the store windows and awakening tho
family of Amos Rutter, living opposite the
store. As Mr. r. threw open his shutter
and called out to the scourdrels one of
them, with an oath, warned him not to
come down Or he would be shot. The
ringing of the bell aroused the village aad
caused the burglars to take flight out the
turnpike toward Mechanicsburg. Those
who came to the scene extinguishsd some
papers in the store which had been set on
fire and found the tools which the bur
glars had left behind, consisting of a
screw driver, brace and drills, hammer,
punches, &c. They got nothing from the
safe and captured no plunder Eor did
further damage than has been related.

There is current rumor in Montg

detectives until large reward is offered
The governor, in message to the Gen
eral Assembly. recommended the passage
of an act authorizing him to offer a re-
ward Of 1000 for ViEcent's arrest. The
investigate committee has called on Mr..
Winter, manager of the telegraph Office
there, for the kilograms sent by Vincent
in reference to cotton transactions, but
Winter has declined to furnish them until
he receives instructions from headquar-
ters.
The committee are examining numerous
witnesses with whom Vincent had cotton
transactions. Thus far they have found
that he dealt with b. r. Smith e. Co.,
Fred Wolfe and r. NJ. Waters, all of

and with Wolffo between 100000 and

and convicted the heaviest punishment
that can be inflicted is ten years in the
