The real purpose of the cyclone sifters
that are feature of the barrooms here
developed to-day. says the New York
Suns special from Kansas City. The
Sun has told something about the sifters
themselves They are holes in the floor,
covered with ornamental open iron work.
They look like immense hot air registers.
Out of them come great drafts of air. Ev-
erybody who goes into a barroom walks
across a sitter to get his drink. The
blasts of air blow his coat up almost to
his shoulders. and the watchful eye of the
house detective discovers Immediately
what sort of weapons he carries in his hip
pocket and can be prepared accordingly.
At least this is what the reporter was told
to-day.
The cyclone sifters provide considerable
amusement as we'll as serving the useful
purpose described. To-day the Hon. Jim
Ham Lewis stod owe one. The blast was
strong. II lifted the Hon. Jim Hams
pink whiskers up over his face; IL lifted
the hair on the back of his head, and the
Hon. Jim Ham looked for all the world
like sunfiower with pink petals. The
Hon. Jim Hams whiskers, together with
the whiskers of William A Clark, the
millionaire delegate from Montana, at
tracted particular attention to-day from
all the New Workers. They declared that
in only one other place on earth could
such whiskers be seen and that was in
Albany. The whiskers there, they said,
were possessed by the deputy state treas
urer of New York, Bernard Davis. Whisk-
ers of this style are spoken of here as
chimpanzee whiskers by some and as
plain pampas grass by others.
James Coogan, president of the borough
OF Manhattan, is here. says the Tribune's
special Mrs. Coogan is travelling with

before returning to New York. Mr. Coo
