Parson Downes's Sunday Night Circus at Me-

chaniCS Hall.
Boston Special
Parson Downes talked to about 8, 900 people in
Mechanics Hall on Sunday night His talk was
addressed to BARRIERS, to whom ne sent postal
cards inviting them to be present. II don t
know" said the Parson, whether Adam shaved
but from the earliest records we learn that men
used the razor and trimmed their boards. There
IS certain charm about antiquity. and you must
feel that your art has ennobled you because OF
this antiquity. In olden times BARRIERS wore
swords and were the confdants of kings. 1t is a
good thing to feel there is such thing as royal
ty in ones business Every generous impulse
of the barber ought to be stirred to know that
his profession extends so far back in history
The Bible speaks often of it, but never once to
its discredit. + found in the Bible where
the Lord once likened himself to a barber. In
the same day shall the Lord shave with razors -
The speaker then gave the BARRIERS some good
advice. He told of his first experience in scrap
ing his face with a razor and exhibited the strop
which he used on that occasion. After expatiat-
ing upon this at some length he said II know
no better use to make of it than to give it to the
reporters who have said many bad things
about me. l will give it to them, and they can
put it in the paper too He struck an attitude
and, with dramatic gesture, cast the strop at
the reporters. The strop hit one of them on the
ear, and then fell off the. table. The thousands
in the assembly fairly howled themselves hoarse
with delight. and rose up in their seats to see
what the reporters would do The stamping of
feet, clapping of hands and whistling did not
cease for fully five minutes. One of the women
adjoining a seat in the front clapped her
hands, aud said in hoarse whisper He served
you just right you horrd Things I only wish it
had been a razor he flung at you. After the
benediction Mr.. Downes explained that what he
did was prompted by one of the flashes of humor
which sometimes stropped through his brain and
he meant it only as joke.

A PROHIBITION ECHO.
Whisky, Water, Election, Mule, Guns and
Pistols Badly Mixed Up.


Atlanta Special.
Quite sensation was created here to-day by
the arrest of two of the most prominent and
wealthy merchants of Atlanta. and their subse-
quent release on bond of $l0,0 900 each to keep
the peace. They were Green Dodd, of the
wholesale grocery firm of P. & G. T. Dodd, and
Paul Jones, the largest whisky-deaer IN the
South. Since the prohibition election these two
gentlemen have been at daggers' ends Dodd
having been a very conspicuous prohibition
leader and Jones prominent on the other side.
Their business houses are but few doors apart.
and slight spat occurred between the gentle
men about week ago. Dodd has no.
torious black mule, which bites every
thing and everybody that gives him
chance Today this animal was
feeding in front Of the store, being htched to a
dray near the sidewalk, when Jones came by on
him. This incensed Jones and he walked into
Dodd's store One of Dodds clerks saw him COM
ing and handed his employer pistol. Jones
walked up to Dodd and said: 'If you don't take
that d mule away I'll cut his throat" Dodd
says that Jones had an open knife in his hand
and said that he threatened to cut his throat and
not the mules Dodd leveled his pistol on Jones
and told him that if he moved step he would
fire. This was good argument and Jones with
drew, being followed by Dodd, who still kept
him under cover. Jones went to his store and
soon reappeared with double barreed shotgun
and started toward Dodd's store. Policemen in
terfered and both were arrested and put under
bond Both are wealthy and are prominent citi-
zens. Jones is police commissioners

A Difference in Advertiser

Philadelphia Record.
The New York Sunday newspapers are filled
and running over into supplementary sheets On
Sunday with advertising. The advertisers in
that city take advantage of the fact that Sunday
is great day for readers. People who have no
time to read on week days make amend for it on
the day OF rest. In Philadelphia the business
men, as a rule are not Sunday advertisers.
They carry abstention to an absurd limit They

The Latest Diversion.

Pronouncing matches are the latest variety of
intellectual relaxation devised for the fall and
winter evenings. The pronouncing match sim
ply reverses the main condition OF the spelling
match. The word is spelled orally or written
upon a blackboard and the contestant is re-
quired to articulate it correctly. 1t is a valuable
educational exercise when intelligently conduct
ed, for comparatively few persons can read a
newspaper article aloud without tripping up in
the pronunciation of word. For instance find
how many of your ordinary acquaintance will
correctly pronounce the nouns rise and riser,
squalor and wrath, the adjective squalid and the
verb sojourn.

The Uses of Intemperance.

A distinguished philosopher has said that
there is no reason wherefore we should bestow
sentiment of pity upon the drunkard whom we
see lying in the gutter. He is simply fulfilling a
law of nature. The drunkard is not useful
member of society, and nature is trying to get
rid of him, just as she always tries to eliminate
that which is useless. A. more recent writer
goes step further and expresses the opinion
that hard drinking is, on the whole, rather ben
ehcial than otherwise to the community. 1.-THE
