NEW IDEAS IN SHAVING.
Individual Cups Going Out of Fashion
Men Shave Themselves,

Individual Cups Going Out of Fashion.
Men Shave Themselves.
You've probably observed that high.
class, modern barber shops have Of late
years abandoned the practice OF deco
rating the walls with shelves holding
uniformly and ornately stamped indi-
vidual shaving cups bearing custom
ers' Names said Washington boss
barber to Star reporter. "A few fair
~ good Washington barber shops still
cling to that old-time custom. but the
thing is out of date. Several causes
contributed to the giving up of the
individual cup idea. In the first place,
the man of to-day is great deal more
skeptical in his view Of all the affairs
OF life than was the average man when
the individual cup notion came into
general use. so that it is not easy to
convince customer nowadays that an
individual shaving cup left on the shelf
of barber shop is kept by barber
inviolate in all it's purity and oneness
OF purpose. I'll bet lot of fellows
get hack at those cups besides the
men whose names are printed on
them good many occasional GUS
toners in barber shops remark in es-
adjustments where the individual cups
are still ranged along the shelves. al
though there has never, to my knowl-
edge been any foundation for such a
charge. Another reason why the indi-
vidual cup and brush scheme has prac-
tically passed is that men nowadays
don't care to have their gilded or red
lettered names staring barber shops
customers in the face from the cup
shelves Looks to me like the fellow
with one ofthose private cups is,trying
to advertise himself as being cleaner
than the rest of us, is remark that I
have often heard. For this reason. even
in the old-fashioned shops, where Gus
toners Of long standing still stick to
their cherished individual cups, they
have in many cases, replaced the CUBS
with their names stamped on them with
cups bearing no other scroll, device or
legend but simple number. These
customers are known, on the boss bar
ber's books by their numbers. and
when they show up for their shayes
they get their nhered cups. I don't
suppose I ought to own up to It," con-
cluded the boss barber. but the self
shaving habit has been spreading
mighty swiftly In this town for a num-
Der of years past"

WHITE HOUSE BLACK LIST.

The Uninvi:od Persons who Crowd Into
Receptions.
The white house has a black list. It
Is an interesting souvenir of this years
receptions. 1t goes to prove that there
are persons who own fine clothes and
VINO are not SO thin-skinned as to re-
main away from places to which they
are not invited, says the Philadelphia
Ledger. The invitations given this wear
10 the white house receptions were pre-
pared with unusual care Lists of the
invited were kept and cards were issued
to individuals by name. The hereto
tore indefinite and indiscriminate "and
iao'es was not employed That there
might be no misunderstanding the
secretary to the president and the gen
tlemen associated with him in the man
agement of details let it be known
through the newspapers that steps
would be taken to detect any who came
without invitations. But the method
to be employed was not explained. The
trap was set and it did its duty. At
one reception 213 persons who had not
oeen invited came to the white house
andsparticipated. At another affair the
number of unlimited present was $50.
The manner in which the intruders
were detected Is interesting. AS usual,
each guest on advancing to the en-
trance OF the receiving room was told
by an official to give your name to the
officers, who will present YOU" The
name OF each guest was called out
twice, first by the officer introducing to
the president and again by the officer
who made the presentation to Mrs. Nc
Kinley. The announcing was done
with distinctness. But this year an at
tache OF the white house stood in Sc
cluded nook and took down every name
that was called out. Comparison with
the roster OF the invited was made sub
sequently and in this way the names OF
the unlimited were singled out and the
olack list was created. This was not
all. Doorkeepers from the senate and
mouse We're present to add their knowl-
edge OF faces to that Of the white house
ushers. Alphabetical lists of the in
vited were in feYpossesslon of the a.
nclals. When there was doubt about
any one the lists were consulted. Some
OF the unlimited were asked for their
addresses. Subsequently letters were
addressed to several of those who had
come without invitations, asking ex-
plantations of the breach. Most of the
letters were ignored. Several replied,
laying the blame on congressman. from
whom they claimed to have received
verbal invitations. Half dozen de-
partment people were caught and their
cases We're referred to superior officials.

Ye Sons of Toll, Arises

Ye Sons of Toll, arise!
And greet the God Of Day;
See, where His banners deck the skies
He bids you to the fray.
Ye Sons of Toll, arise!
Your bonds are bonds of straw,
Like Peters chains they fall apart,
Walk forth in solemn awe.
Let not respondent hearts
Your holy zeal assuage,
Stretch forth your toil-worn hands,
And seize your heritage.
Got notes the sparrow's fall,
Yet He's God of Might;
And only towards fear to die
When cause is just and right.
Ye Sons of Toll, arise!
Be sons of God to-day;
A New Time dawns in eastern skies,
And darkness fees away.

The Basis OF Commerce.
J. w. PORTER.

To my mind it appears preposterous
to suppose that such an enormous fact
as the commerce of the world can be
made to rest upon three hundred and
ninety-three cubic yards of gold! That.
according to the best calculation, is the
SO called disable supply" of the yell
low metal. II this bulk should be cast
into pellets of the size of small hazel
nuts. there would not be one pellet
apiece for the sons of men-to say
nothing about the daughters of woman.
1t is literally true that, If all the gold
existing should be made into pills, the
workingmen Of the world could swal-
low 1t all before breakfast, and not
six hundred of them would ever know
the difference.-John CLARK Ridpath, in

Workingmen, in thinking of the Lat
timer murders, never to be officially
avenged, need not feel that the lives of
the murdered men were entirely vast
ed. It is true that justice has been out
ragged and that certain score some
day to be wiped out is little bigger
than it was. But some good has been
done. It is not likely that such a
killing will occur again for many days.
1t is probable that the next coward
armed with repeating rife will hesi-
tate, fearing that murderer No. 2 may
not fare as we'll as No. /. Public opin-
ion has crystallized about this Pennsyl-
vania murder affair. Murder on cash
basis will probably receive set back,
despite the verdict.
OF course, no such verdict could
have been rendered in England or in
France, where the rights of ordinary
men are now recognized. They ,were.
not recognized in France at one time.
But the most ordinary kind of men got
a sort Of habit of cutting of heads In
discriminatory, and as it turned oct
that the heads belonged to persons CT
high degree, the memory of that affair
has stuck.

, Mr.. Chamberlain, who was much more
explicit on the subject of Anglo French
relations than any Of his colleagues in
the cabinet have been. said il WAS the
hope of every friend OF peace that the
French withdrawal from Fashoda is in
dicative of their acceptance of the prin-
ciple of British control OF the whole val
ley of the Nile. regarding which there
cannot be any discussion whatever"
Going on to recte series of unfriendly
acts perpetrated by France in various
quarters of the globe during the last 10
or Is years" hesaid:
IF better relations are to be estab-
lished il Will be necessary for French
politicians TO abandon tactics whose OBJ
ject has been to hamper and embarrass
British policy, even in quarters where
the French have no interests to protect.
j refer especially 10 Newfoundland
where. despite the fact that the French
fishery interests have declined TO a COM
paratively Insignificant point, the de-
mands of the French have continually
increased and their interference with
the development OF the colony has in
creased.
AT the present moment Newfoundland
Is seIlously SUFFERING from an lntefNen-
tion which is OF no advantage TO France
although a serious detriment To the
British colony. III the Fashoda incident
only serves to disabuse foreign states
men of the erroneous conception that the
British will yield anything to pressure,
II will be blessing in disguise"

complete sympathy 80 noticeable be-

discussing the prices and conditions ex-
listing in the factories; Of the labor cost
OF shoes outside OF the salaries OF officers

Ianar,s Fourth.

The weather for the Fourth was
the finest we have had in years, 1t
was clear and the sun shone bright
all day, but there was just enough
breeze blowing to moderate the tenn
perature without raising the dust.
The crowd in town was quite large
though smaller than for several years
past, owing partly to the fact that
the country people are very busy
with their immense crops, and more
so to the fact that most people prefer
a picnic in the grove to tramping up
aud down the dry hot streets oftown.
This latter fact is becoming more ap-
parent each year and will have to be
recognized, or the annual celebration
will have to be abandoned.
The bulletins posted on the street
early in the morning announcing the
great victory of our navy and army
at Santiago was the means of adding
much to the enthusiasm of the cele-
bration.
The anvil squad opened the morn
ing exercises at daybreak in their ac-
customed prompt and energetic
fashion, and dispelled sleep from
those who usually cling late to their
morning nap, as thoroughly as Dewey
and Sampson dispelled the Spanish
fleets. They kept it mp too until they
had fired salutes for every state and
every hero they could possibly call
