The barber then washes his hands with soap and water, and. after rinsing them, dips them in a chemical solution to neu- tralize any germs which may be lurking about his finger tips or nails, Previous " he has trimmed his nails short and has Duttohed closely around his wrists the sleeves of his working jacket.
 Sterilized towels come from the dry heat sterilizer in punches of ten in lin- en cloth. One of these is pulled out from the bundle by the aseptic hands of the barber and deftly tucked about the neck of the customer. Lather rubbed up in & sterilized cup, with sterilized brush, IS applied, and sterillzed razor is used to scrape off the growth of beard.
 The freshly shaven face is washed and dried with sterlized towels, and powder is applied by dipping a sterli- zed towel into the powder and then dusting 1t on the face. This does away with the germ breeding powder puff.
 Sterillzed brushes and combs are used, so that nothing comes in contact with the customer except 1t has previously been through the sterilizer. All the implements have aluminium handles, so that they are not affected by heat. They are furnished in numbers, so that as fast as one thing is used 1t is for warded to the sterilizer, and does not touch another customer until it's pos sible burden of germs has been re- moved
 Back in a corner of the shop are two copper sterilizers heated by electricity and in charge of young man clad in a spotless and sterilized apron. As the cups, brushes, razors and combs come from use they are put on marble-top table, from which they go to the sterili- ger. Each razor is stropped before it is sterilized, so that it Is then in readiness for instant use after remaining the spec flied time within the hot precincts of the sterilzer boiler.-Baltimore Sun.

This percentage is much lower than that of neighboring anthracite lines, with which the Susque- hanna in equipment and roadbed com pares unfayorably.
 The sale of control Is said to have come as considerable surprise to some of the directors, if not to all When the news of it came out, the minority holders of preferred stock rushed to sell, and dealings were unusually heavy They were by no means reassuped at statements that they would get fair treatment from the new owners, for they considered that the outside stimu- Jus already alluded to would now be withdrawn.

Everything Is Made Aseptic, So That Disease Germs Shall Not Reach the
 Customer.
 While investigators have been work ing to isolate the germ which causes badness, a practical preventive of the ravages of this and other germs common to barber shops has been put into operation by a Baltimore barber at the instigation of young physician.
 Dr. Bernard Barrow, young gradu- ate of the Maryland University, con- ceived the plan of the aseptic shop, and his ideas have been carried out in its establishment under his daily super vision. Sterilization is the basis of the plan, and the object is that none but sterile objects shall touch the skin of customers Of the barber chairs. Thus are germs killed by heat, and the shop becomes aseptic-free from living germs.

SUSQUEHANNA AND WESTERN
 SAIjE

The purchase of a controlling inter- est in the common and preferred shares of the New York, Susquehanna and Western railroad. announced In this newspaper Friday, was followed Sat- urday morning by sharp declines in both classes of securities on the Stock Exchange, movement so unusual as to create much comment in Wall street. The New York Evening Post says: The statement originally made is that the purchase was executed for the Erie railway This is not strictly correct The purchase is rather in the interest of the combination which Is forcing re- striction of the anthracite coal output. There Is no reason apparent to the pulp lie. competent judges say why this ad- ditional burden should be saddled on the Erie; although there was unquestiona- bly, enough in the anthracite situation to warrant a seeming extravaganza in this detail.
 It will be recalled that reports have been frequently in circulation in the last six months asserting that J. P. Morgan & Co. had purchased control of the company These always met deni- als; and it may be said that the denials were justifiable, inasmuch as these purchases, if any were made. were merely brokerage operations. At all times, however, buying force has been noticed by operators. This was re- ferred to in this column on September 1T, on the issuance of the pamphlet re- port, when it was said: "The most ob- vious deduction from the report i. is that the recent and pre- ent buying movement in the shares proceeds from stimulus totally independent of the merits of the shares and of their pros- poets as dividend payers. There Is evi- dence to support the statement that the Susquehanna, while occupying a very significant place among the anthracite carrying lines. is. nevertheless, impor- tant enough to those who are now per- fecting measures for absolute control of this business to warrant their sustain ing comparatively heavy losses in the purchase of these shares; the object be- ing to dispose safely of what Is de- scribed as a gad fly among the anthra- cite lines, that is, factor important enough to considerable nuisance if in hostile hands"
 The cost of the control is, of course, not exactly known. Figuring the pre- ferred at 30 and the common at 20 it would come to about $3,250.000 each of

old Effects secured with rurs.

Not since three years ago, when furs were heartlessly shipped into tiny bits have dressmakers attacked peltry with such daring as this season. Besides making fur a means toward evident costliness, as is usually the case, dress designers now seize upon it as a way of gaining striking effects. In some cases this Is carried too far, the gowns creating the impression that in them extravagance had run to bad taste, but again there are new furred models that

TO THE OWNERS OF SEALSKIN
 GARMENTS.

Messrs. Brooks & Company respectfully urge upon owners of Sealskin Jackets, Sealskin Capes, or Sealskin garments of any kind, the importance of anticipating as far as possible such alterations or refashion- ings as may be necessary in the course of the present sea son, or during the next few years.
 Recent Congressional Legislation
 prohibiting the Importation of Seal-
 skin in any form or condition what
 soever, thereby limiting the supply
 of this beautiful fur, will inquest
 ionably cause the market price
 thereon to advance according to the
 rapidity with which the supply now
 in this country is exhausted.
 Refashionings or repairs of any kind may be carried out at this time therefore at com paratively slight expense, ow- ing to the present quietness of the market.

 The coronation of Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands. which Is to take place during the first part of Septem- Der, 1898. is to be one of the most mag known. The rejoicings will last for five days, during which time the queen and her court will reside in Amsterdam. No less than three exhibitions are to be opened in the Dutch capital in honor of the occasion, and every kind of fete will be given. The queen attains her major- ity on August 31, 1898, at s p. m, and from this moment she takes the reins of government into her own hands. Ac- cording to the Dutch law, the sovereign attains his or her majority on complet- ing the 18th year, and. then begins to reign independently.
 "A notable movement is being started by the devotees of cycling in Germany. It is nothing less than demand for the due representation of cyclists interests at all elections, whether municipal or State. Wheelmen in the Fatherland have cause for bitter complaint against the police regulations, which in many cases are not only vexatious, but also nonsensical. They differ. too, so much not only in the various States but even in the towns, that no wheelman on a long tour Is able to master them. The taxes imposed upon cyclists, too, have approached the intolerable point. As a consequence of all this every candidate for a parliamentary or municipal seat ] ha +o 4x~ question, What are your views re- specting the cycle police regulations and the cycle tax?" That the movement is formidable one may be seen from the fact that one in every four electors owns bicycle.
 An infant industry has been nipped in the bud. A few months ago at one of the stations near Indianapolis man fell on the platform, having caught his heel in crack. The result was a dis located hip. Physicians, including the company's surgeon examined him, and decided that he would be cripple for life. The railroad company settled for $2,700 and his lawyers fees, and did other things to make him comforta ble. One day last week man fell on the platform of railroad station in Vir- ginia and dislocated his hip. The com pany investigated the case.

Not to be Baked.

A comparison made by an old carpen-
ter 20 years ago may be applied in a
much wider sense than he had in mind.
He was speaking of two boys brothers,
who had been sent 10 him to learn the
trade. They were bright boys, and their
father, in telling the carpenter of his
pleasure at their progress in their work,
said he could not see but one had done
Just as we'll as the other.
"Um-m - said the carpenter. I'll pre-
sumo to say their work looks about Of a
piece, but I'll tell you the difference
betwixt those two boys. You give Ed
Just the right tools, and he'll do real
good job, but Cy, if he hasn't got what
he needs, he'll make his own tools and
say nothing about it,
eff was casted on desert island
and wanted box opened, I should
know there'd be no use asking Ed to do
it without l could point him out a
hammer.
"But Cy!'' added the old carpenter,
with a snap of his fingers. "The lack
of hammer wouldn't stump that boy.
He'd have something rugged up and
that box opened if there was any open
to it, | expect Cy's going to march
ahead of Ed all his life. "
Twenty years have proved the truth
of the words, for while the boy who
made his own tools" is rich his broth
err is still an ordinary Workman

ISOLATION tn this city held meeting IN
the Methodist church last evening. IL
was voted to enlarge the committee by
electing two persons from each church
in the city, thereby making three mcin-
bers in all. As two persons from Inc
PRESBYTERIAN church as already been
elected on the committee, only one more
was appointed last evening. The names
of those appointed are as follows:
Methodist, Peter Laxson, Oscar John
son; Baptist, Clyde Perry, Frank
Hutchinson; Congregational. Albert
Smith, Elon Barrett; Episcopal, Will
liam Anderson, II. X. Bush; Fresby-
terrain, James Walker, DR.; Universe
list, Ned j. Roberts and Arthur Martin.
This committee is to meet at some fu-
turc date, divide up the work and can
vass the city for fundss They are also
to get the names of those who will join
the association. fmore help is needed
to canvass the city, other persons will
be selected by the committee.
The matter of fees was the next
thing brought before the meeting. One
or two thought So should be charged
for membership fees, while others were
averse to charging so much. They con-
sidered that So was sufficient.
In regard to the location Frank e.
Rowland, one of the committee, stated
that it should be central, on the first
floor and easily accessible lie thought
that the rooms should be fitted up in an
attractive manner but in an economical
way. lie was Of the opinion that the
people of the city would give more
freely if the committee did not intend
to launch in and fit the rooms up expen-
sively and thereby have big debt on
their hands.
1t was voted to leave the amount of
the membership fees with the commit
tee and they will report at meeting to
be held soon.
