FORGOT HIS HIGH HAT.
BARRIERS Make Merry with q Young
Man in n Skull Cap.

A young man from Nebraska came hOsi-
tatingly into the barber shop in the base
ment OF Washington street block and
asked if Lawyer So-and-So were in. says
the Chicago HerdId.
He was such an unaccustomed young
man his clothes were SO plainly the best
he could find in the store and 80 new that
he was not acquainted with them.
He had evidently purchased stiff hat
of some kind with his slrt. and had
taken 1t off in the train and substituted
skull-cap in its place, very much as the
rest of the passengers had done.
He wished TO convey to all on board
the train that he was travelled young
man; but he did not mean to succeed 30
well as to wear the cap uptown and leave
the hat hanging in the car. But that was
exactly what he had done. The BARRIERS
all knew il as soon Us they saw him. They
pitied him n little for his diffidenoe and
were very kind when they told him that
Lawyer So-ln-So was not in the barber
shop, but had an Office of his own up
stairs.
| The iutimation that he had made q mis-
/ take hurt the young man cruelty. He
tried TO apologize, without knowing whom
he had offended or the exact nature OF his
ofense.
He lacked up against the cigar lighter
as he delivered few reluctant words and
burned hole in the broad width of his
coat. That just about broke his heart
with embarrassment, but the barber re-
marked
"You have forgotten your hat" and as
he reached up and touched that silk
abomination his cup of humiliation COM
pletely overfiowed No one knows how
much an embarrassed young man can
suffer when he comes to the city.

| the BARRIERS.

from Indian Territory, but the International
road, which runs from Eagle Pass, on the

coal fields have been discovered near the

open I'm both COal and iron mines, and there
are bright prospects that Mexico will soon be
able to do great part Of her own manufac-

colonies now In Mexico can AFFORD to carry
their products in the shape OF butter
aud potatoes for 200 miles In wagons and sell
them In competition with the butter and
potatoes shipped from the United States by
rail. When this road gives them better facili-
ties, they may be supplying the greater part
or Mexico with their products. AS II is now,
there is big margin ior the sale OF all kinds
OF agricultural products in Mexico, and this
Is especially so OF dairy products. American
butter brings rs cents and ! pound here,
and cheese Is proportionately high.

back $50 feet to an alley. The building is
nearly new and cost over 5000, 900 to put up.
Mr.. Burkhardt added 800. COO in interior adorn-
ment within the last two years
Mr.. Burkhardt roughly estimated the value
of the stock in the building between 900. 600
and S700.000. In addition to his own stock he
stores great quantities of valuable furs for cti-
Zens every summer and these furs were in the
burning building.
Dense volumes of binding smoke at first
filled the streets, and presently with a sudden
burst the flames spread upward through the
building and with incredible rapidity shot sky
ward through the roof. lighting up the city for
half mile around. Soon the walls began to
crumble and the building, with its contents,
became a complete loss.
The fire department devoted themselves to

A Letter From Mr.. Woodbury. R,.,r


From the New York Sun
10 the Editor of the Sma-Sir: have read
with much qualification the article in the S,e,
of this date referring to Gen. Boynton's recent
communication in the COMMERCIAL Gazetie and
denying on your part any knowledge or belief
that Montgomery Blair and others we're fer
menting conspiracy at the close of the war to
establish. with the aid of the army, a new form
OF government or make grand coup d'etat
of some kind.
H.would seem that Montgomery Blair's an
tecedents, his lifelong devotion to the Jeffer-
sonian principles of democracy and his IN
firing efforts to uphold the Constitution of the
United States should be sufficient to refute
such an accusation. Mr.. Blairs intimate per-
sonal relations with Mr.. Lincoln up to the
time of his assassination were well known to
their many mutual friends; and his advocacy of
Lincolns second nomination, and his earnest
support in the presidential campaign of 1864.
are well known to every one conyersant with
the politics of that period.
After the death of Mr.. Lincoln and during
the term of Andrew johnson laws were enacted
by Congress and the government was admins
tered on such an entirely different policy from
what were the known wishes and intentions of
Mr.. Lincoln, that it was evident, il Mr. Lin

KEYSTONE BANK AFFAIRS,

The Postmaster General and Editor Mexican
Summoned as Witnesses.
Court of common pleas No. of Philadelphia
yesterday afternoon issued its certificate order
ing II. H. Yard to appear before the council 5
investigating committee and give his testimony
in relation to the city deposits in the Keystone
Bank and other matters incident to Bardsley's
transportation Of state and city funds. The
order served on Mr.. Yard, with notice to
him that they desired to receive his testimony
on Friday afternoon.
As result of the secret conference held at
the mayors Office on Monday morning Editor
VIM. V. Mexican and City Editor Robert NJ.
McWade of the Ledger were notified to testify
before the council sinvestiSating committee on
Friday afternoon. The purpose of summoning
these two witnesses Is to inquire into the inter-
view held will John Bartlsey by Mr.. 1IcWade
in the county prison, and which was not
printed in the paper because il mentioned
three prominent people us having, in some
manner. benefited by public moneys handled
by the convicted eK-city treasurer. In the
Judgment of Mr.. Mexican. it was not policy to
allow a man who had per jured himself to Use
the columns of his paper in mere denuncia-
lions of others.
Bardsley himself has said that the interview
was unsupported by him and that if he had
known IL was intended Tor publication he would
have been silent. The committee however,
believe that ali statements by Bardsley may
throw light on the bank and treasury iniqui-
ties.
Notification was also forwarded to Postmaster
General Wanamaker to appear at Fridays ses-
sion. and. as MIR. Wanamaker has said that
whenever he was asked to appear he would do
so willingly, it is taken for granted that he
will be present. Samuel b. Huey and Efing-
ham T. Morris. president of the Girard Life
Insurance. Annuity and Trust Company, have
also been summoned.
