BARRIERS ARE ANGRY.
The Scheme to Raise the Price of Hair
Cutting a Failure,


The bottom seems to have fallen COM
pletely out of the proposition made by the
BARRIERS some two weeks ago to perfect an
organization in this city whose main pur-
pose was to regulate the hours of duty and
advance the price of hair cutting.
When the residents of the city got an
inkling of this scheme of the tonsorial
artists, first published in EVERY EVENING,
there was lively scramble to the barber
shops to take advantage of the 15-cent hair
cut before the tariff should be raised to %
cents. The result was, the BARRIERS say,
that they were kept very busy after the
announcement was made
Now that the proposition to raise the
price of hair-cutting has been abandoned
the BARRIERS are contenting themselves
with placing the entire blame of the failure
of the scheme on Charles ii. Boyle, while
Mr.. Boyle In turn. is not disposed to
shoulder the responsibility and alleges
that Barber William Ward is responsible
for the scheme. This is how the matter
now stands with very little likelihood of
the Decent hair cut schedule being adopted

The Friendship Fro Company's fair
is proving moro successful as the DAYS
go by. Everybody was out last night
with their wives, their babies and their
swecthearts. 1t was decidedly the big
gest crowd that has yet assem- led.
In tho hall on the lower floor, which
is devoted to the giddy mazes of the
terpsichorian art, the crowd was so dense
that it would seem impossible for any
ono to dance. yet they did and success
fully, too. The Friendship laddies and
their lassies can dance we'll on space
the size Of u silver dollar.
Now that the rain has ceased the
beautiful flags are again proudly float
ing in the breeze. The refreshment
counters did forishing business, per-
haps the best of any night during tho
fair, and parties often had to wait for
vacant seats at the tables.
None OF the articles have been rallied
OIL yet but large numbers of chances
have been taken on most OF them, and i,
no doubt, they will go in hurry when
tho time comes. Tho candidates are
still coming down with their ducats and
are having good time as we'll as win
ming popularity, but the young ladies
can't vote.
Tho cigar and lemonade booth, which
is situated by the stairway in the vesti-
bulc, is popular feature and will prove
q financial success.
The lady managers are proving inde-
fatigablc in their labors ana the great
success the fair is meeting with is in a
large measure due to their zeal and in
dustry.
1t is quito noticeable that although
the crowd is large and no restric lions
are placed on anyone, that the order
has been perfect and not the slightest
misbe havior has occurred to mar the
pleasure of the occasion.
