BARRIERS PLAN NEW LAW.
New York TonsoriaI Artists Aim to
shut Out Incompetent Mem
hers of the Craft.

The BARRIERS of New York state,
after disagreeing for years as to the
details of legislation necessary to
create a code of high and refined
ethics for chn-scrapers. have now
combined on a bill which they expect
TO put through at Albany with rush.
1t provides that no barber shall be al
lowed to do business until he has
passed civil service examination be-
fore board of examiners composed
of practical men. If he passes they
furnish license to him. which he
must produce upon the demand of any
suspecting customer.
The bill is aimed also at the five
cent establishments, which the ten
and 15-cent BARRIERS object to. 1t is
hoped that If the shaving profession
is made more exclusive the nickel
face-gashers will be able to charge
ten cents on the ground that they are
college graduates" and thus put the
trade on a healthier basis financially.
An important point about the bill
is that it will not apply 10 cities con-
tanning fewer than 5000 faces. This
distinction is made in the interest of
learners, who must have raw material
10 practice on-the rawer the better.

MARRIES HIS DWARF NIECE.
bride of wallace Dean Is Three
Feet High and Twenty-Nine
Years old.

A man of athletic build stood beside
woman three feet tall. weighing SO
pounds, wearing a child's No. shoe,
acknowledging that she was nearly 30
years old and was pronounced her
husband by Magistrate Nixon, of JEFF
fesonville, KY, the other afternoon.
The groom, Wallace Dean, lives in
Lanesville, Ind, and is 50 years of age.
The brides maiden name was Nora
Nave, and she came from Harrods-
burg, where she lives when she is not
travelling as museum curiosity.
Magistrate Nixon hesitated about
marrying the couple. as the bride
looked to be about 10 years old and
conducted herself like child. A
woman who accompanied the pair de-
clared that Miss Nave was born in
1871, and, as marriage license was
offered, Magistrate Nixon proceeded.
just before Mr.. and Mrs. Dean start
ed to leave he remarked that his
wife's mother was his own sister. her
maiden name being Melissa Dean.
Thus Wallace Dean married his own
niece. Dean said he loved his wife
and why he married her was nobody's
business but his own.
