NO KNIGHTS WANTED.

They Can No Longer Work on the New
 York Central Railroad.
 NEW YORK, Got. 8-A sensation in labor circles has been caused by the issuance of the following circular to the superintend- ents by the New York Central railroad:
 The recent strike and acts of lawlessness com. mitted in connection herewith. the published correspondence between the leaders of the or ganixation that ordered 1t and the fact that many men now seeking unemployment state that they quit work from fear of personal violence, and did not dare to offer to resume work for the same reason, compel the management of this company to announce that 1t objects to It's em- ployes being members of the organization known as ''the Knights of LAbor."
 The management Is satisfied that membership in this particular organization Is inconsistent with faithful and efficient service to the compa- ny, and liable at any time to prevent it from properly discharRing it's duties to the public. You will at once take such action as will bring this circular to the attention of the employees in your respective departments.
 H. WALTER WEBB, Third Vice President
 In an interview Mr. Webb said: '.In the past we have always admitted that we have had no objection to our men joining labor organizations, but developments during the recent strike have led us to decide that if our men were allowed to be members of the particular organization known as the AnlgntS or AaOOf Cno result would pe OeI- rimental to our road and the public.
 "Our action is in no sense an attack on labor, and we do not anticipate that any trouble will follow the issue of our circu- lar. I know that the men are extremely dissatisfied with the organization of the knights, and that many of them since the strike was inaugurated have received less money from the organization than they had often contributed to it in 6 single year."
 President Samuel Gompers, of the Amer ican Federation of Labor, said that MT. Webb was 8 fool and that whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad. He believed that there were sufficient organi- zations in the various branches of the rail- road to which men could belong apart from the knights. He considered that MT. Webb's success in the strike had intoxi- cated him. The circular was cowardly, as 1t had attacked fallen foe.

Is Harrison Not 8 Candidate?

CHICAGO, Ill.,, Oct. "A special to The Tribune from Tacoma says: "John Elan, former law partner of President Harri- son, was asked yesterday if he thought the president would be a candidate for renomi- nation. I hardly think so,' he said. In fact, in a conversation with the president he stated he would not run again. A pres ident, no matter how just he may be, is pretty sure to make political enemies who will hurt the party if he is renominated and so, though MT. Harrison has made one of the most conscientious presidents, it is not likely he will be renominated'

Tho Real Danger in a Barber Shop.

What, then, is the possible danger of infection in barber shop9 I reply that there is practically none-at least, no more than at your own home-in any barber shop respectfully kept with due regard for cleanliness. A drum mer travelling continually among large cities of the United States, and stop ping at the best hotels, runs much greater chance of being killed in railway accident than of getting the barber's itch.
 Still, after all that has been said, there remains one chance which makes the liability of infection greater in barber shop than in your own home. The weak point of barber's outfit is his towels, of course I know that each customer has fresh towel; but what is the previous history of that towel2 It may have absorbed some parasite from the skin of the last man, then have been carelessly thrown in tub of water and afterward dried in a very perfunctory manner. Nothing less than a thorough soaking in soap studs, then wringing it out and finally drying it in hot air of high tempera- ture, will completely suffice to avert this risk.
