Boyer in the tonsorial line has been extensive.
He was born in Germany about forty-tve
years ago and came to this country, IN 1893.
He began to learn his trade at the old Pacific
Hotel in Greenwich street i'll 1856, remained
there for FIVE years and then going to the
Earle's Hotel barber shop for two years.
In 1863 he was engaged at his trade at the
Mahopac. after which he returned to New
York and opened a shop in Canal street
opposite Earle's Hotel, where for fourteen
wears he kept open house. Since then he has
been in charge of the Morton House barber
shop.
Mr.. Boyer has lots of "reminiscences of the
war days and can boast of having had some
of the most distinguished Generals, OF the

took off for the. first time when on the way

addition, likes nothing better than o regular

Which may cost them their lives! That
may +" is the dividing line between the cour-
ageous and the heroic. The lifeboat may be
%swamped, the soldier may be pierced by u
bullet, the fireman may be choked by smoke.
This possibility is inherent in these several
~callings respectively.
But emergencies arrive in each when the
may " is %transposed to the other ride of
the line. There are times when the man if
he engages in the task may be saved. 1t
makes an important difference.
The kissing sea is rolling SO high and the
wind is shrielring and beating 50 violently
that any one who ventures to cope with these
savage forces may escape with his life, but
the chances are against him.
The almost impregnable position of q bat
terry is such that the company which charges
it may carry it by assault. but all the prob
abilities are that they will line the plain with
their lead -riddled bodies.
The fierce volumes of SIN oke that pour in n
black cloud from n room may not
suffocate him. and the blazing walls
which will crumble in a moment may
not totter till the daring fireman hos rescued
the inmates who are shrieking for help. But
it Is likely that any one who ventures into that
chaos of flame and smoke will be blinded and
suffocated, or else be carried down with the
crumbling walls to a hideous, painful death.
This is the time and place for the hero.
Generally, TO the credit of mans better ma
ture, the hero is not wanting. some noble
fellow hurls himself into the breach. All the
most splendid qualities of his nature are
brought into play. Courage, generosity, cool
nerve and boundless maguanimity come to
the fore in the person of the hero.
Frequently he perishes. The life of his
fellow man is not saved and his own is lost.
But frequently, too, he saves his imperilled
brother and comes forth himself alive.
In either case a great good is ACCOMPLISHED,
for if death is his lot, it is O death rich il
glory. The dead hero is an exemplar and
lesson to humanity. When he is spoken of il
is with the reverence and admiration due L
greatness.
Money cannot pay for such heroism. Moth
ing but the golden reward of glory can at al
%remunerate such actions as these. He reap
a fitting enumeration in the exalting homae,
of his fellow-meu, who praise his deed anC
hold him shrined in their high regard.
War, happily, is something which is occa

Now or Never should the Workers Stand

To The Editor of The Epsning World:
l have lived in many lands during my life
time, but never have | been so struck with
establishment as to see with what persistent
efforts many capitalists of different enter
prises in this country ever and anon endeavor
to break your existing unified labor ranks.
The brewers pot has been n long time boil
ing. and at last has dubbed over in a most
barefaced manner Now or never should the
workingmen of the unions, and others as
we'll, stand shoulder to shoulder. A decisive
blow can always be struck at that hydra,
Crusus, when endeavoring to lap up as much
of humble labor's vitality as it can dare with
IMMUNITY. The true and trite adage should
be borne in mind-"F ors est ~unitas."
Since my advent to the States ! have made
the labor question my study and have failed
to find that the laborer has been in any one
instance overpaid for his days work. The
contrary is invariably the case. Very made
quate remuneration for work done, seems, in
too many instances, to be quite common
here.
Mr.. Editor. your "go-ahead" little paper,
since it came into existence, has posed as the
humble workers champion. Well, worthily
and ably has it advocated their cause. May
be behindhand in letting the public know,
through the columns of its influential pages,
the names of the members f the pool"
who ara attempting the role of the white
slave driver" as thousands of mechanics,
laborers and men of lighter avocations wall
be on the qui vive to ascertain.
1t will act us q stimulus to their curiosity
to learn what extra inducements the dis
pensers of the non-union- brewed beverage
