CivH Rights In IA barber shop.
OsKALoosA, Nov 13.--A recent decision of
Judge johnson In civil rights case causes u
great deal Of talk among cOlorcd citil rs
here. The decision was on demurrer TO an
Indictment against Ben Hall, colored barber
who was indicted under the civil rights act for
refusing to shave 9. X. bennett, Il colored
restaurant keeper. The civil rights bill OF
last legislature requires BARRIERS, hotel Keepers,
common carriers, etc, t. give equal rights TO
all persons regardless of color. Tue supreme
court has decided In the Cedar Rapids case
that skating rink Is not a public place, but
that the prof rictors IN ght exclude colored
persons Judge johnson In a full oral opinion
do la In IA ha nd
The question in his opinion turns upon the
power of the legislature to say that a barber
shop Is such public place, aud the business
of such uublic character, as 10 empower tue
legislature TO control the business. He holds
that the question is one Of propriety, and not
a question Of power. That the leg stature has
the over to regulate barbsr shops, aud as 10
whether the power ought TO DO exercised or
not Is a question Of discretion for the legisla-
turc. II follows therefore that colorod men
have the same right TO be shaved as white
men. 1t Is understood that the case Will go to
the supreme court JohnF Lacey and Bolton
q Mccoy appeared for the prosecution, AM
LaiTerty d Morgan for defense.
Tvvo visitors from Muskcgon, Mich
Now orleans, u.a,,) Plcayunc, Oct 20.
New Orleans has been compllmented by
visit from two distinguished citizens Of Muskc-
gon, Mich.-Messrs. William Ii. Brown and
Charles j. Hermann.
The cause of this unexpected visit was
Louisiana State Lottery ticket bearing the
numbers 26,442, which, In the drawing OF Oct.
IL, drew the capital prize Of $4,000.
Mr.. Hermann, the holder OF on1-iifth OF the
prize ticket, and his employer, Mr.. VIM. II.
Brown, President Of the Lewis l.. Arms Shin
gle and Lumber Company, at Muskegon, con-
cIuded TO make pleasure trip 10 the Crescent
City.
On their arrival they registered at the st.
Charles Hotel, where they still remain, and on
Thursday morning visited the headquarters OF
the Lottery Company, on st. Charles street.
They were politely received and requested to
call at noon, when check for $4,000 would
| be ready for them.
Promptly on the hour both gentlemen re-
turned, and, being introduced TO the writer,
the following facts were elected:
Mr. Hermann, a young man, for many years
| In the employ Of the single and lumber com
pany named above, has played but once be-
fore In the lottery. Last month he wrote to
a friend residing in Plaquemine, La, for a
fractional part of ticket, and that friend
very kindly sent him the winner Of the capt.
tai prize
Unaceustomed to travel, and being more OF
| a wOrkingman than fnancier, he invited Mr..
Brown to make the trip with him, and, under
the circumstances, It is presumed that their
first impre sions OF New Orleans are favorable.
A check for S15,C0) having been given them
in exchange for the ticket they held, they de-
parted for the New Orleans National Bank
and converted It into sight on New York.
Messrs Brown and Hermann are intelligent
business men, representatives OF one OF the
largest interests In their State, controlling a
mill which turns out annually s0,O0o,0O0
shingles, TO say nothing Of dressed lumber.
They will depart for the West on Sunday.
