SLAVES ONLY MnMoNAIREs.
A Barber who Makes About $4,000 n
Year From Four Customers.
From the Chicago Inter

From the Chicago Inter Ocean
Thomas Whalen shaves four milllonaires
a day. He makes the round of their resi-
dences every morning and uses his own
fast PAGER to save time They all pay
him liberal salary and in three hours
each morning he earns more than the
average barber does in four days.
Mr. Whalens clients are PAD. Armour.
S. w. Allerton, Marshall Field and N. X.
Fairbank They employ him by the year,
and his salary continues whether they are
in Europe, New York, California or chi
cago. His contract calls for a daily shave
In Chicago and II the millionaires' chins
are not to be found. Whalen is not the
sufferer His pull" is said 20 be of the
gentlest, but his fellow BARRIERS declare
it is very strong, and besides the salary
he gets there is always a liberal Christ
mas present.
The scale of salaries paid Is as follows:
Mr.. Armour SIS per month; Mr.. Field $75
per month; Mr.. Allerton, $50, and Mr..
Fairbank, $35. All Of these gentlemen have
their private barber shops, and Mr.. Wha-
len has the running of them. He keeps
each supplied with the finest razors,
shears, strops, soaps, mugs and other
requisites of a first-class tonsorial parlor.
He knows the turn of every whisker Of his
razors with a pull"
His labors begin early. Mr.. Armour's
home is his first stopping place, though
recently, during that gentleman's residence
in California, he has not been getting up
so early. Mr.. Armour has always shaved
by o'clock and often earlier. From there
1t is only block to Mr.. Fields Prairie
avenue mansion, and just across the
street a little to the south, he finds Mr.
Allerton ready for his daily scrape. But
to reach Mr.. Fairbank he must make big
jump to the North Side, and his fast PAGER
comes in good use. Cars are too uncer-
tain, and Mr.. Fairbank cannot be kept
waiting or disappointed, and before 3
O'Clock Whalen is at the Lake Shore drive
residence, ready for Mr.. Fairbank to come
to the private barber shop.
Tom" Whalen is one of the best known
BARRIERS in Chicago. He has made a COM
potency out of his work, and his income
now is by no means beggarly. averaging
close to 5000 for the year. His last shop
was In the Methodist Church block. This
he sold several years ago. He now devotes
his attention to the four millionaire GUS
toners and several fine horses.

THREE ST. PATRICKs.
Historical Research brings Out More
Than One of the Name.

Than One of the Name.
On March II, Irishmen and descendants
of Irishmen, the world over celebrate the
reputed birthday of st. Patrick. But of
which St Patrick, according to modern
Irish psychologists, there were no less
than three saints of the name, each ana
all apostles and pioneers of the Christian
faith in Ireland If the French maxim
that nothing is sacred TO the sapper,"
be true the dictum that mo tradition is
safe from the investigating antiquary?'
for centuries Irishmen have believed re-
ligiously in one st. Patrick, and this in
spite Of the numberless obvious absurdi-
ties in his accepted life. The discovery
that St Patrick was really trinity; or
to remove from the perilous region of the
expressive but dangerous DULL" that the
name of Patrick" was really a generic
style or title applied in turn to three dis
tinct personages, will come in the nature
of shock to most sons of the Gael.
Such, however. is the case brought out
by a number of the prominent Celtic
scholars Of the day and in so far as evil
dence goes, the case seems to be an ex
cellent one. The work of Rev. j. f. Sher
man, fellow of the Royal Irish Academy,
on the subject is expected TO concentrate
all the arguments and establish the Pa
trcian trinity forever. DIR. Sherman,
whose history is in press, contends that
the three ST. Patricks who are confused
under one head We're (firsD Palladins, the
Patrician first missionary of Ireland,
known as the first st. Patrick; (second),
Succhat the Welshman, his successor,
first Bishop of Armagh, and known as
Sen Patrick or "Old Patrick and (third)
Patrick MacCalphurn of Scotland, known
as the third Patrick. Papers published by
DR.. Sherman before his death in the
Journal or the Royal Archaeological So
ciety are ample sufficient TO show his
opinion in the matter Of the three st.
Patricks Mentholomady.

How women should Ride the Bike.

one of the first requisites, whether the
rider be delicate or strong. is moderation.
Riding for speed subverts the very end
of the exercise-it is like rowing or rum
ming or doing anything else for speed, it
finally conquers the conquerer-and the
most sickening narrowing sight Is the
continuous race. The associa ton of wheel
men should do all in their power to sup
uress these public exhibitions Of human
idiocy.
Another essential, especially for women,
is an appropriate dress, and there is no
law against a gentleman also being APP
propria tely dressed. l never could UNDER

should wear the garb Of a circus clown
in order to ride a wheel. In the past year

FOR SWINDLlNG
JOHN BEAUCLEOUGH AND JOHN
a BUCKLEY ARRESTED SUNDAY
Charged With Working, II Reno
Mau for SfJO.

John Beaucleough, known here on &C.
count of having long been connected with
McMahan's circus, and John Buckley, a
Rock Island news agent, were arrested
Sunday night by Officers Fox and A. NJ
Sutton on the charge of having swindled
F. Adler Of FL Reno out of $50 by the
time-worn check racket in Caldwell last

ley met Adler on a Rock Island train
and entered into conversation with him.
They represented to him that they also
were going to FL Reno to take charge
of stock Of goods. It is said that they
represented to Adler that they would ar
rive after the closing of the banks and
requested him TO loan them $50 on a
check, SO that they could pay their freight
and get their goods out Of the depot at
once
1t is understood that they gave him
check of so, which they told him to hold
until the next day, and then they would
so together to the bank, have it cashed.
and Adler would be paid back his money
and be recompensed for his trouble. Ad-
Ter, it seems, consented, and gave the
men the money. 1t is claimed, that when
the train reached Caldwell they gave him
the slip. He soon found that he had been
swindled and Notified Sheriff Shaver.
The case was put in the hands of De-
tective Woods of the Rock Island, who
caused the arrest Of the two men. Sher-
III Shaver arrived last evening with
