TWO HURRICANE FLAGS.

An unusual sight yesterday noon was two hurricane flags displayed on the Insurance building by the signal ser vice bureau. The prospect, as stated at the office, was that the big gale would be due here in its full strength at about 10 o'clock last evening. The big wind was making itself felt all along the coast and at noon was blow ing great guns off the Delaware coast Old Boreas distinguished himself here all last evening.
 Toward midnight the wind, which in creased to a gale and drove the fast falling rain along in binding sheets. Umbrellas were of no avail, it being almost impossible for them to with stand the wind and pedestrians, unless thoroughly covered with mackintoshes or other rubber garments, were quickly drenched. There were however, very few pedestrians, and those few soon sought shelter so that the streets were almost deserted. The rain fell in such torrents that the street were flooded and the now began to rapidly disap- pear. Up to midnight the police report ed no cellars flooded, but there were good prospects for the same.

THE VISITING BARBER.
One New Yorker Who Is Engaged Ex
 clusively In That Occupation.

One New Yorker Who Is Engaged Ex-
 clusively In That Occupation.
 There are many men, and their num- Der is constantly increasing, who are shaved at their homes daily by a bar Der who comes for that purpose, and so there is considerable number of barbers who do more or less of their work away from the shop. But there is perhaps only one man in the city who is exclusively a visiting barber Most of the work done in houses is performed before 10 o'clock in the morning. This barber has a few such customers whom he attends to before that hour, but most of his work is done in downtown business offices between the hours of 9:30 a. n and D. n
 Ten years or so ago the visiting bar Der, then having shop in a downtown street, went out one day to shave a customer in his office, a wholesale bu- siness man, who was too busy to come to the shop. Thereafter he shaved this customer regularly at his office, and from that beginning grew his present trade. As outside customers s came to hmi he attended to them all personally, and finally, about three years ago, he gave up his shop alto gether and has since devoted himself entirely to visiting work, which he finds more profitable. His customers are chiefly among wholesale drug mer- chants. For years they all were, but then a wholesale leather merchant was added to his list, and he has now a number of customers in the swamp.
 These customers did not all desire to be shaved at the same time, and so it was comparatively easy to make a working schedule. The barber appears at the office of each customer at the same time daily. The places to be visited are all pretty close together, and but little time is lost in going from one to another. Partly for that reason and partly because the work is done on six days in the week only in- stead of seven, the charge for this work is little less than for work done at home. It is $2 a week, which, how ever, includes hair cutting as we'll as shaving.
 The object of the business man who is shaved at his office is to save time. The object of the man who is shaved at home is both convenience and con- fort. The man who is shaved at home is likely always to be shaved by the same man, a barber whose work he likes and whom he has picked out him. self. The barber comes to the house seven days in the week at the same hour daily. The ruling price for this work in the very best shops is $15 a month Some shops do the work for SIP, and it is sometimes done for s10.
 The man who pays $15 a month for the barber to come to his house pays that for daily shave only. Hair cut ting and other work are extra. For hair cutting he pays 75 cents. If he has his hair cut two or three times a month and has any other work done, his bill may easily reach SIS a month which is a figure not unusual. It may come to more than that. If the bar Der has to wait, no account is taken of a detention of few minutes, but if he has to wait half an hour or more the time is charged for at the rate of $1 an hour.-New York Sun.

BUSINESS OF HOWE & sTETsoN.

Will Be Conducted By Members of MT.
 Howe's Immediate Family.
 Elbridge L. Howe has been appointed by Judge Cleaveland administrator on the estate of his father, the late Ste- phen A. Howe. It has been definite ly decided that the business of Howe & Stetson will be continued by the Howe family. The younger brother, J. Wilder Howe, now an officer in the vol unteer United States engineer corps, will resign his commission soon and ioin with his older brother, Elbridge L. Howe, in the conduct of the business. 1t is also understood that Mrs. Howe, their mother, will be interested finan- cifIly in the business and that 10 ether partner will be admitted. It is probable that a new firm name will be adopted; what the new name will be has not yet been decided upon. Both of the Howe brothers, although young men. have had considerable experience in the dry goods business, the older having been superintendent and the latter before joining the army assistant superintendent of the store.

A Rough and Tumble Fight in
 Washee-W -Washee Shop.
 Because Charlie Tong, Chinese laundryman, would not give him his laundry unless the check for it was shown, Policeman Joseph Bellman Sat urday attempted to take his collars by force. The Chinaman objected and started to eject Bellman from the laun- dry shop at 40 Grand avenue. In the fight which ensued Bellman used a poker and badly pounded the China man with it. Finally, according to wit nesses of the affair, Tong grabbed a hatchet to use in self defense. The two were fighting in the rear of the shop when Policeman McAllin arrived on the scene and arrested the China man. Bellman was not arrested, but it is thought that he will be arrested to- day.
