Defendants Plea Of Abatement Of
the Suit Sustained.

SAN JOSE, May 15.-Judge Lorigan
to-day sustained defendants plea of
abatement in the suit of Captain w.
A. Nevills VS.. Charles NJ and Samuel
M. shortridge to foreclose mortgage
on San Francisco, Arizona and San
Jose property, to recover $50, 900 bal
ance alleged to be due on two prom
issory notes of $4,000 and $4,000, re-
spectively. The plea was submitted
by agreement, the grounds being that
when the last deeds and mortgages
were executed the defendants were
given a years time in which to meet
their obligations, and that therefore the
suit was prematurely instituted. This
view was upheld by the court. and
defendants attorneys were instructed
to prepare findings.

Electrical BARRIERS Shop.

The French are following I'D their
active crusade against the infection
carrying practices of the ordinary bar
ber's shop, by the equipment of shaw
ing and hair cutting saloons with a
complete set of electrical appliances. In
Paris, the brush and comb and the
shaving brush are disinfected or dipped
into an antiseptic solution every time
they are used, and for each customer
they are practically clean This enact
ment has greatly reduced the amount of
skin diseases-spme Of them loathsome
and dangerous-which were formerly
caught in the BARRIERS chair. The
Parisians, having improved the. hygiene
of their BARRIERS shops, are now IN
creasing their comfort by running them
electrically. In a shop recently fitted
out, hot water is obtained by passing
the stream of a hydrant through a Ger
man silver tube in a soapstone case.
The tubing is electrically heated, so that
the water is nearly boiling when it
passes out of the spigot. The old heat
ing irons, which often burned the hair,
are no longer used for curling. The
electric curling irons which have taken
their place are safe and sure, as they
can be brought to any temperature,
which they will retain indefinitely. Scis-
sors are out of date, and the cutting of
hair is now done by clipping machines,
the speed of which can be regulated to
a nicely by the operator Where it is
desired to SINCE the hair the clipping
machine gives place to tl.e electrically
heated platinum wire. which passes
across the teeth Of a metallic comb. The
comb takes up certain quantity of the
hair, holding it for an instant; the bar
ber's man presses a tiny button at the
end of the comb, and there is an in
fiux of current which heats the wire.
As the wire approaches red heat, the
hair is burned off neatly and smoothly,
and its ends are sealed UP in most APP
proved fashion.

Although not unexpected, the death of Dr. James D. Kelly, at his homo on Port Arthur avenue at noon Saturday, caused deep feeling of sadness to pervade the minds of his many friends here.

Thirteen years ago he married Miss Mary Littlejohn, daughter of J. E. Littlejohn, with whom he has lived happily since.
 His life was insured for SC. 900; $3,- 900 in the New York Life Insurance O., and s3,000 with the Knights of Pythias.

 Tuesday the band escorted their leader, J. L. Worrell, to the depot and played a number of parting pieces Mir. Worrell has done grand work for the band, and all the boys, as we'll as citizens here, regret very much to lose him. The band could have done nothing that would have honored their leader more than to have played an ap- propriate piece as the tram pulled from the depot
 If Mir. Worrell could be induced to locate here he might be great ad. vantage to our band. Since our band has been without leader, they have not practiced any, and have seemingly lost all interest in their work, and a good band leader might be able to re- vive interest and make good band for our city. A town the size on Mena, without band, is not gcod adver- tisement for those interested in local affairs.
