"Bv the grace and favorsof Almighty
God, the people Of this nation have
been led to the closing days of the
passing year, which have been full OF
the blessings of peace and the comforts
of plenty. Bountiful compensation
has come to us for the work or our

partment of human industry. Now,
therefore, l, Benjamin Harrison, Pres.
ident of the United States America, do
hereby appoint Thursday, the 9th day

That Bogus Medical College,

The Boston Herald of Nov. 6, in at
tractive headlines, announced the ex-
istence of a Bogus Medical College
located at Newbury village, connected
with which the names of we'll known
citizens appeared, DR.. Geo. B. Hatch
being accredited as the originator of
the scheme. For the existence of such
a concern, if in reality sucn a miserable
fraud does exist, there is no excuse.
and all decent people would denounce
1t without even the semblance of pa-
thence. The Herald article makes the
charge against the so-called institution
of issuing catalogue in 1889, and that
the degrees of "M. D." and 81. l.. b."
are affixed to persons in no way en-
titled to them. This is not denied bv
DR.. Hatch. The Herald also saws that
the catalogues have been sent South
and West for illegal and fraudulent
purposes. 1t further charges tina. a
rumor susceptible of proof can be OBJ
tanned, that two diplomas have been
sold at $50 each. The exact language
being zone prominent business man
made the statement, it is susceptible of
proof, that two diplomas have been
sold for $50 apiece" and adds "this
rumor came from direct source and
can be verified in every particular"
To these serious accusations the DR.. in
his letter sent the 9th and published in
the Herald Nov. 18th, makes denial in
the following language: "a few of
the catalogues were handed to friends
of the enterprise, but none were ever
issued for general dis. ribution to my
knowledge" "No diplomas were ever
printed to my knowledge"
We hope and expect the exact facts
will come to light. This much talked
of catalogue makes Horace w. Bailey,
president of the board of trustees.
Mr.. Bailey is very we'll known through
out this entire section, being the &C
knowledged Newbury correspondent

KEEP. YOUR RAZOR SHARP.
According to a Barber. There's Comfort
in Shaving Ones Self.

According to Barber. There's Comfort
in Shaving Ones Self.
.'One reason why men are not success
full in shaving themselves, I" said bar
Der, is because they do not pay any
attention to their tools. They ought
to learn lesson from us in this re-
spect -
"a barber sharpens his razor with the
utmost care at least twice and even
three times for every man he shaves,
and yet there are lots of men shaving
themselves who are content with slam
ming q razor over strap two or three
times before they begin operations and
never bother about the matter again.
-.'Then, too, werub the soap on mans
face very carefully and thoroughly sew
eral minutes before we begin to shave.
In reality this is half the battle, for it
-seftens- the-hair and -moistens the skin
so that there is no danger OF cutting
the face, and the resistance Of the razor
is reduced one-half. The razor is hot,
and the instant the razor begins to pull
it is carefully strapped until it is sharp
again.
Il have been in the business for
twenty years, and / am still wondering
why man ever goes to barber shop
to get shaved / shave myself, of course.
Senator Ingalls, is quite right when
he says every body ought to do so. 1t
only takes me five or six minutes to
shave when | get up in the morning,
and it is through with for the rest Of
the day.
MANY busy man is compelled to
stand around for half an hour or more
in shop every day because he thinks
he can not shave himself. If he would
look after the details it would be as
easy rs rolling off a log.
