lature, imposing a penalty OF from two
to ten years. Imprisonment for the en-
bezzlement of money on the part OF
persons who are authorized by law to
collect bills for the parties employing
them, an interesting case was heard be-
fore Esquire Monaghan Friday.
The parties were William ii. Robinson,
cigar dealer OF No. lis East Fourth
street, and Charles Jafrell, q salesman in
his employ. Robinson is the man who,
in September last, obtained verdict of
$4,000 from the city OF Wilmington for
injuries sustained in falling into hole
in defective sidewalk. He bought out
ths cigar and tobacco business of another
William Il. Robinson, wac had been es-
tablished at No. 113 East Fourth street
for number Of years, and opened q store
next door, employing Jarreli as salesman.
Jarrelps operations were not entirely
satisfactory TO Robinson, who soon be-
gan to suspect that he was losing money
by Jarrell's failure TO make returns of
his collections. lie had FARRELL arrested
and trial ensued before Esquire Bsrto-
lette, but there was no proof or embezzie-
ment offered, and the case was dismissed.

he was losing money, and so about July
22d, he exaoted from his salesman an url-
derHtandipg that he should turn in each
night slip containing racold Of the
sales made and the amounts collected
during the day. From this arrangement
Robinson claims that JaYrsli has devil
sted, and accordingly he had another
warrant issued, on which trial came off
before Justice Monaghan this morning.
As witnesses Robinson bsd summoned
number OF his customers, who swore
that they had paid Jarrell their bills for
various amounts, while Robinson with
his books as vouchers swore that FARRELL
had not turned in these amounts to him
at night according to agreement. Each
customer VINO swore to payment pro-
duoeG Jarreiis receipt in testimony
thereof.
The case was holly contested from 8

OF the Razor.
'Do you shave yCurseif9 II SO, it is
important to know how to keep your
razor sharp. A barber, speaking Of this,
says: 'Ws often have amateur shgvers
bring ne their razors to be fixed up.
Almost any man with steady hand can
shave himself, nut not one In so can
keep his razor in decent condition. TIE
first reason is that amateurs wear all the
temper out of their razors by excessive
strapping, and the better the steel the
easier it is affected in this way. The
only remedy is to let it alone. Put away
the razor that cutg and scrapes the skin
and givs it a good rest. Then use it
again, and In all probability it will be in
good shape.'
''Some of the modern shaving sets have
as mAny razors as there are days in the
week, and on the handle of each is "a.
graved the name of day. II the roth,
tion is Kept up very little sharpening is
needed. Lave known men to talk of
pet razors which they have used every
day for years; il they would let these lie
by for while they would find welcome
improvement. The second cause Of the
trouble is bearing on the razor while
sharpening il. Never attempt to put on
Gn edge before shaving. When You are
through rub the blade lightly few times
on plain leather strap, which need not
cost above quarter, and then put away.
The old boiling water orazs is exploded
now, and PROFESSIONALS do just as good
work with cold water Gs hot" ....-
