SCI q u NC ih0heSS, u picture or the room as
it really is, to show and enjoy after the college
days are ended.
Several st. Paul men. who were graduated
from institutions of learning in the East are
trying to introduce the room picture business
among the young bachelors. To that end one
or two OF them have had the photographer
visit their respective apartments and perpetu-
ate the beauties thereof on a negative plate.
Unlike the custom In vogue at college the
young bachelors now in St. Paul are not after
perfect likeness of their rooms half as much
as they are DESTROYS of having the picture
snow room filled with articles of elegance
and beauty. Before the photographer reached

Tho BARRIERS, 1 understand, have entered
into mutual agreement by which it is stipu-
lated that all the barber shops will be closed
on Sundays. This decision has nothing
to do with the merits Of the decision on the
unconstitutionality of the local ordinance
but is the result of a general understanding.
Had the decision taken place early in the
winter there is no doubt that good crop of
full boards might have been expected as the
patrons OF the several shops need but little
persuasion of that character to forego the
acquaintance of razor and allow their
boards to grow. AS it is, the decision comes
in the glad springtime when a man has no
desire to bury his face behind chin beard.
The most immediate effect of the Sunday
closing scheme will be great many cut up

Ine members OF Dano were engaged In
producing new musical composition last
night in their headquarters, not far from
Bridge square. The windows of the room in
which the musical struggle was in progress
were open and the individual and concerted
attacks on the new piece were quite audible

pass that neighborhood.

passers by, as they apparently were recon-

days of strikes and riots every prevention
should be taken to prevent bloodshed. The
police department deserves credit for its
timely action. THE ONLooKER.
