The custom of having a barber call at
ones house has become quite a fashion
within the last few years. 1t is rather ex-
pensive, but rich men can stand it. Fifty
cents is the average fee demanded. Some
men have fitted up especial BARRIERS
rooms at their homes. Others have easy
chairs for the accommodation OF their
BARRIERS at their downtown places of
business. 1t used to be Ferdinand Wards
regular afternoon custom to summon his
barber as 500 as business was over; he
was a sort of pioneer in this line in Wall
street. Now there are dozens OF specu-
lators and clerks who follow out his
aristocratic example.-New York Times.

IT Is a wrong notion that many young
men have, that if they can only occupy Ger
tain stations, they will thereby attain the
opportunities for fame or usefulness. It is
well known that some of the former pres
idents Of the United States are forgotten
while the names of others will be held in
graceful remembrance while our country
exists. Two men nay occupy the same
position, the one is looked up to and his
counsel and advice sought and needed.
The other would not be knownifhis name
was not attached to a position. The one
puts honor upon his calling; if the other
gets any honor it is by reflection.

will be the first female lawyerin that state.
1t is curious that so few women have
adopted the profession of law in this
country, although they have ample oppor-
tunity of doing so. 1t would seem that
the rewards of the profession are tempting
enough. There are an abundance OF fe
male physicians, and medicine as a profes

THE STUDENT MERCHANT.

MT. Nathaniel K. Davidyan, the Arme-
 nfan Rug Seller, and the Ordinance
 de ItInerant Merchants.
 The trial in the City court yesterday of Nathaniel K. Davidyan, the resident Arme- nian student who is selling rugs in the store on Chapel street near the New Haven House, exhibited another phase of the recently en- acted ordinance de itinerant merchants. The ordinance was intended to prohibit non-resi- dents from carrying on business here by com polling them to pay 8 license of not less than $5 nor more than $50 per day. The com plaint against Davidyan alleges that he is 8 resident of this city and has violated the eighth section of the ordinance, which is as follows:
 Any resident taxpayer of the city who shall con duct, superintend, carry on. pretend to Carry not resident taxpayer of said city has actual interest, or as the agent of such nonresident or non taxpayer, shall be subjected to the tax.
 The city attorney claims that MT. Davidyan is carrying on business the agent of his brother, who is an importer of rugs in New York city, and that this brother has an actual interest in the business here. Lawyers Cleaveland and Gallagher, the defendants attorneys, did not raise any question as to the validity of the ordinance, but claimed Inat Wnobner tne oroluAilce was cousoitubiona4 or not their client had not violated it. They insisted that the interest which MT. Davidyan's brother had in the business was not that contemplated by the ordinance, nor was the accused the agent of his brother in any sense, and that if he was compelled to pay license fee every taxpay- ing and resident merchant in the city who sells goods on commission ought to be com pelled to do the same. MT. Davidyan has been resident in this city for about two years, and has been attending Eaton school. He is an active member of the United church and opened his store for the purpose of se- curing funds to complete his education. Judge Deming continued the case until this morning.

OBITUARY.

Died i'm Portland, Maine. at the Age
 of 93-A Much Esteemed old Resi-
 dent of New Haven.
 This afternoon at two o'clock at St. Paul's church takes place the funeral of Mrs. Mary Oatman, widow of the late MT. Burr Nash of this city. This much esteemed lady was for long period resident of New Haven. A native of Oxford, Conn.,, her life was chiefly spent in this city and her home con- tinued here until five or six years ago. Since then she has resided with her daughter Mrs. N. W. Taylor Root, widow of Rev. MT. Root of Portland, Me. where she passed away, like one falling asleep. Her old age seemed unlike old age. She was even at almost 93 so bright, mind and body that almost to the last life's taper burned brightly and her presence was welcome, wholesome and benign. When still in fair health, three weeks ago, she met with an accident. While rising from her chair at the table she slipped and fell, fraeturing her hip, which injury resulted in her death. She leaves three daughters and one son, Cap tain A. c. Nash, years ago much prized commander of the New Haven Grays and for the last twenty years or mere one of the leading architects of the West, residing in Cincinnati Captain Nash had recently re- turned to Ohio from visit of eight weeks in New England, principally at the home of his aged mother, when he was summoned back by the news of her approaching last hours. The husband of the deceased lady was for many years in business in this city.

NEW ROADS AND Low RATES.

Talking About How Business is te be
 Affected by she Changes Proposed.
 Bridgeport merchants think the proposed road from Birmingham to Hawleyville will hurt their business. Interviews with Water bury merchants show that they think that the proposed Meriden-W Waterbury road and the reduction of passenger rates on the Nau- gatuck road will tend to help their business, while the manufacturers are looking on with much evident satisfaction.
 Waterbury merchants do not quite see, they say, how the road on to Hawleyville is going to affect us here much. Trade from Birmingham has never been very great, and few come this way from the south to go to New York State. And it looks as though Birmingham would be the place to profit most
 The proposed track from Naugatuck to the New England road, though long talked about, may make some general freight dis cussions.
 To Bridgeport News reporter, inquiTing about the road to Hawleyville, John McMa- hon of the firm of McMahon & Wren said significantly: s1 don't anticipate much inju- " to Bridgeport trade Neither do antici pate that the new road will be built just at present. Just now I am interested in the proposed new road from Meriden to Water burr. ."-Waterbury American.

While the public are not usually inclined to credit what such stock iobbers as MT. Sage may say, it will not question his opinion in this instance. However, the great capitalists who have now secured control of the road have no interest in booming the securities. It is more for their interest to depress prices and frighten holders into selling out. The New England road has not been secured solely for stock jobbing purposes, but to make the road a part of a great transportation system"
