NEW YORK ON r1P-roE
When Senate PETER Went Into a Bar
Der Shop.

From the New York Herald.
There was a great scare in the Tender
lion precinct one day last week. Citizens
who passed by the sturtevant house
thought that a dog fight must be going on
inside, and they made a mad rush to the
office and then stood around and WON
dered what to do next. They knew some
thing was happening Of wonderful impor-
lance, from the air of hustle and excite
ment that prevailed on all sides, but they
couldn't locate It,
A deaf man pushed his way to the desk
and said to one of the clerks: Whats all
this fuss about? Seems to be something
on foot"
81 should say So replied the clerk, grin
ming Senator PETERS having his whis-
kers shaved off in the barber shop.'
whats that?' demanded the deaf
man.
Senator PETERS being shaved" howled
the clerk, so loudly that every one in the
crowd that had been wondering why 1t
was there, knew at once the reason for its
presence. And the cry was taken up
through the hotel, Senator PETERS hav-
ing his whiskers Topped off,"
Guess I'll 90 in the barber shop and
man. 1--WE never seen PETER. / should
think he must be a sight from the pic
lures of him."
And the deaf man stepped across to the
door OF the whisker reducer and turned
the handle. But the door wouldn't open.
Locked" said the clerk BILLY Rhen-
hart made PETER hire all the chairs. The
senator got annoyed at the mob around
the door and asked Billy to close it,
When the news spread that PETER was
being shaved scores of people came in.
There were about a hundred chaps in the
shop pretending to be waiting their turn,
and Billy had to clear them all out. Now
all those fellows that are blocking the
sidewalk, as If we were giving away soup
tickets, are waiting for PETER to come
out"
Then the clerk shouted to a bell boy
Pull that man down from that transom.
We can't have this sort of thing going on
here" And he added to his companion
clerk: I'm getting madden and nader
every minute. I've good mind to send
for the police"
From the other side of the locked door
came a metallic sound like the snip of a
pair of scissors. Excitement began to run
high.
'He'n look like an actor when he comes
out" said theatrical manager. Lets go
and take a drink. Wen hear the row
when the door opens"
Hes been in there about half an hour"
observed the official time-keeper. IF he's
paying for all those chairs it'n cost him
about S."
And the noise Of the metallic clip of the
scissors was the only one that foated out
over the transom.
Then the crowd fell to discussing PETERS
politics. Il think he's right about there
being a money famine in this country"
observed a small man with mutton chop
whiskers. What we want is more
money"
And less work." exclaimed an actor.
"That's me-"
You mark my word for it," continued
the first speaker, that the time will come
when the people Of this great country will
rise up-'
Here he is" shouted a bell boy The
door Of the shop opened slowly and the
head of Barber Rheinhart protruded. He
gazed round him In alarm for a secand
and hurriedly closed the door again.
Then the sound Of shipping was resumed,
and the crowd resolved itself into knots
and took up sundry debatable topics.
But the privilege Of passing through
doors and knowing what is happening
and what heroes are thinking about at
