Guarding an Empty House.

Saturday night two parties who are
given to practical joking, played it fine
on special "cop" and several others in
way that was rather amusing, to say
the least of it, They took the special
officer into their confidence, as it were,
and told him a great "ghost" story about
man who was crooked and who lived
IN house in the southern part OF the
CITY,, This mysterious man they pic
tured to their victims in the most
fearful colors. He had, according to
their story, killed his mother-in-iaw
at Parsons, Kansas, and besides murder
ing his wife in the Indian Territory, had
committed numerous thefts. They
claimed that the man was seen to leave
the house every morning between and
D O'Clock and 20 10 some place, no one
knew where. They stationed the spe-
clal officer and his six assistants, who
watched through the weary hours until
the dawn Of day to find that they had
been guarding an empty house.

.---"Oh, no, that is the old German STYLE.
IT used TO be the custom to shave the
hair in circle at the nape, but it is now
simply an evidence of cheap work and
is done only by the BARRIERS who don't
care to stop and do it properly. A COT
pie of strokes of the razor and the Gus
toner is polished OIL by an old way, but
by the prevailing mode barber shingles
the hair as it grows naturally, and an
plies no razor except at the sides. This is
a tedius, difficult task, and requires as
much work almost as cutting the top
hair. 1t looks specially becoming on
people with long necks, as it tends to
conceal the prominence"

ping craze is dying out. Customers that
used to get clipped in the spring and not
get their head touched again until fall
are compelled to come i'm now twice a
month to have their hair graduated,
and some Of my most tinical patrons get
their hair trimmed once or twice week
Yes, it is a decided Improvement for
both the treated and the trcater."

THE SING SING CUT.

styles of Hair Cutting-The "Old Hick-
DRY" Fashion Again Coming Into Vogue
Clipped Hair Not Productive of Health.
yves, think the men are getting Il
little more sensible in having their hair
cut, said u well-known tonsorial artist
To-day, rs he rubbed the last flake of
iather from his customers tace, and
closed his razor with snap.
"What is the style of har-cuttiug shis
Year," asked a reporter.
ut Is called the Ponpadour by the
masses, but the BARRIERS know ii as the
style that wa$all the rage when Jack
son was President, aud which was called
the old Hickory cut. IL consists in
having tho hair cut so that il will be
longer in front and gradually decrease
III length toward the back, which causes
IT, to stand up, and requires no parting.
Jackson used to wear his hair brushed
back that way, and for about ten years
during his time il was all the rage and
then fell into disiavor Then when
Grande Duke Alexis came over wearing
his head-piece in that manner, the
bloods all took TO IL again, naming II after
him, and the Alexis had quito run.

Shameful.

Considerable complaint is made by
citizens concerning the crowd that
haunts the front Of the variety theatre
and vicinity every night. If the police
would lay for, listen at and arrest some
of these foul-mouthed persons, they
would receive the thanks of decent and
disguised public. Obscenity in its worst
form is freely INDUCED in, and guests in
the st. George hotel have frequently
been outraged by the filthy talk of hood
lums, who appear to glory in their ability
to give utterance to mean, low, debasing
thoughts couched in the most vulgar
language. They can readily be caught
and the police should Law for this gang OF
black guards and bring them before his
Honor, the Mayor.
