YOUNG roNsoRIAL WONDER.
Louis Spar, II Years Old, Can Shave
Like Veteran.

Like Veteran.
There have been infant musical
prodigies, theatrical prodigies and BIZ
cycle prodigies, and now a tonsorial
prodigy has doomed up in the child
world. He is Louis Spar, an 11-year-
old boy who for six months past has
been acting as full-fedged journey
man barber in his fathers shop, in the
basement of No. 176 Seventh avenue,
says a New York exchange. Louis's
talent is inherited. His father is an ex-
pert with razor and brush, as was his
father before him. When the Spar
family came here from Sicily two years
ago Louis was sent to school and quick
iy became AmericaniZed. But after
school hours he spent all his time in
the barber shop watching his fathers
deft movements. When custom in
creased Spar let the boy lather the
waiting customers. AS Louis was only
about yard high it was necessary to
provide him with a chair on which to
stand while he welded the brush. One
day customer fell asleep while the
boy was lathering him, and when he
awoke Louis was making the last
sweep Of a keen-edged razor over his
face. The boys reputation was made
at once. Gradually he widened his
field Of activity. Sbampooing was hard
work at first for the little fellow,
whose arms were not very strong, but
he acquired muscle and experience by
d1i1gent practice on woolly-headed
dog, that has since become the canine
dude of Seventh avenue. Hair-cutting
was more difficult thing to master
for a small boy, whose little fingers
could hardly encompass the handles OF
a clipping machine. He tried to i'm
press the woolly-haired dog again, but
the dog objected, and Louis substituted
the members of his family and oblig-
Ing customers. He is now an expert in
all the branches that go to make up the
tonsorial art, and his fame has grown
until he has built up clientele of his
own.
Louis has also mastered the various
tricks Of his trade. He can talk bald
headed customer into taking sham
poo, sell hair tonic to a long-haired
man, and gets twice as many tips as
his fathers older assistants. He will
confide in you the fact that your skin
is tender, boasts that he never cut
customers face, and avoids talking
about the weather and politics.

The Chiralrous Rooster.

In one OF the yards OF game fowls
kept by the editor is a game bantam
hen-the only bantam On the premises.
She is a midget beside the stately hens
that compose the flock, and at feeding
time they try to impose on her. But
the proud lord of the harem comes to
her rescue, and when she secures a
choice morsel he stands guard and
drives the big hens away. Woe to the
hen that tries to steal the bantam's
food when the cock is near. A peck
from his bill or a drive from his spurs
sends the thief scurTying away. The
cock selects a morsel and calls the
bantam, and while she is eating he

CONCERNING A COIN.

Mason. says the Kansas City Star. He
thought that the coin was undoubtedly
a highly priced pocket piece, and he
directed a postal card to NJ. W. La
Rue. Louisville, in the hope of finding
the owner. He had almost forgotten
the matter when he received letter
from Mr.. La Rue, who had removed
from Louisville to Cincinnati, and aft
erward to Winton Place, Ohio, of
which village he is now mayor. He said
that he had lost the pocket piece twelve
years ago, and expressed himself very
anxiously to get it back, saying he
would gladly pay for the coin and for
Mr.. Meyers trouble.
iIr. Meyer sent it by registered let
ter 10 Mayor La Rue, and Friday he
received letter from him acknowI-

men Horace Horn, Nathaniel ]. Kenney
and John S. p. Jones testified that month

DR.. William w. Weber had presented

allow three of them he was angry and
threatened to get even with the town. A
few days after the fire DR.. Weber PRODUCED
a handkerchief and empty paint can which
he claimed to have found near the ruins
They were at first regarded as important
clues, but after detective had worked on
the case a short time DR. Weber admitted
that the story about finding the can and
handkerchief was falsehood concocted so
as to hinder the investigation, he hoping
to discover the guilty person and secure
the reward.
Detective Ryan of Boston told the story
of his working up the case and of the COP
flicting stories of the respondent regarding
the finding OF the articles, also regarding
his suspicious and his whereabouts ID

jim AND FITZ
Scheduled to Meet at Dallas,
Texas, October 81.
All But Fits Final $4,000 Of the
S4l,0 900 Purse Is Up.
Date Is During State Fair and Enormous Crowd
is Expected.

New York, June -Corbett and Fitz.
simmons have practically agreed to fight.
Oct. 81, for the Florida Athletic Club of
Jacksonville, which has its headquarters
at Dallas, Texas. d. A. Stewart of Dallas,
Texas, representative of the Dallas syndi-
cate that will endeavor to pull off the
light, met Joe Vendig of the Florida
Athletic Club, today.
Mr.. Vendig announced that he bad
placed $4,000 in the hands of p. J. Dwyer,
the final stakeholder, as a guarantee that
the fight could be brought off in Dallas,
Texas. If throughany fault of the club
the fight was declared off, this money
would be divided equally between the
pugilists. Corbett deposited $4,000 to
guarantee his appearance in the ring and
expressed his willingness to fight at
Dallas.
The only preliminary lacking is Fitzsim-
mons $4,000 deposit This will be forth
coming during the next few days. 1t Is
not really necessary for the money to be
put up, rs Vendig says he will be satisfied
If Fitzsimmons will be on hand fit and
well at the time appointed for the contest.
The date chosen is in the last week of
the state fair, and 1t is hoped to secure an
immense local crowd by holding the con-
test while the fair is on. The men behind
the venture have sought legal advice and
they have been informed that there is no
law against boxing in the state
Before the men enter the ring the full
amount of the purse offered, s4l, 900, will
be put In the final Shareholders hands
The men have already received $1,000 for
training expenses, and it now looks as if
the fight will come off on the date stated
