RAZORS IN THE AIR.
CHICAGO BARRIERS ARE AFTER SA-
LOON KEEPERS.
VIII Cause the Arrest of the NIixol-
Ogists If They Keep Their Places
of Business Open on Sunday.

CHICAGO, Dec. Reconsideration
was caused among saloon keepers
Saturday by the publication in the
daily papers OF the intention of bar
bers to arrest saloon keepers for keep
ing their places open on Sunday, be-
cause it had been found that the lat
ter were antagonistic to the Sunday
closing movement.
At the meetinf of the Trade and La
Dor assembly, officers of the two organ
izations discussed the matter John F.
Calmly, president of the Illinois Liquor
Dealers association, said that his
organization had not in the past, and
did not in the future intend to mix
in the fight for Sunday closing on the
part of BARRIERS. He said that no
money belonging to the organization
had been used to defeat the BARRIERS
or in any way to aid the other side.
Nevertheless the BARRIERS Sunday night
made good their threat and secured
evidence against a large number Of
saloon men whose places were found
open. The pfckets of the various wards
were also at work and evidence was
secured against several barber shop
proprietors whose places were open.
These will be proceeded against during
the week.

DIDN'T READ THE PAPER.
And Bought n 1000 Ajax, Assess,
ment Include.

On November %, at a meeting of the
directors Of the company, an assess
ment of cents per share on the CAPT.
tai stock of the Ajax mine was levied,
which becomes delinquent on the Goth
of this month, and all stock upon which
the assessment remains unpaid is due
to be sold ON the 18th of January.
There is nothing very remarkable
about the levying of an assessment,
but the brokers on the curb were
laughing yesterday over this one by
reason of the following state of facts:
1t appears that the notice of the
meeting and the levy was published in
the columns of a. paper where but few
of those who deal in stock saw it, and
early yesterday the particular broker
referred to in this matter bought 1000
shares of the stock, being innocent of
the fact that the cost ito him included
the cents per share.
He pocketed the loss, however, and
at last accounts was looking for a
man who does not read all the papers
in order to see if he could play even.
