HUMOR OF A BARBER.
II Expresses Itself in the Character
istie Decorations of His Gus
toners Shaving Mugs.

The proprietor of downtown bar
Der shop located on Broad street IS
something of humorist, in his own
peculiar way. On entering the shop
one is confronted by shelves of mugs
belonging to the regular patrons, and
the designs on these are decisiyely
odd.
There are no names or initials to
indicate the respective owners, which
apparent omission is a part of the
proprietor's little game. Instead
there is on each design illustrative
of the profession, business or occu-
patton of the patron. One man who
freouents the shop is a dentist, and
his cup is embellished with a set OF
false teeth as a means of identified
ton. Another Is an editor, and the
design on his cup represents paste
not and shears. A box of cigars on
another indicates that its owner Is =
tobacconist, says the Philadelphia
Record. while a downtown lawyers
cup bears a Tyre. There are about 50
cups thus decorated.

The Anarchy of LyEChing.
Philadelphia Press.

Philadelphia Press.
Mr.. Booker 7. Washington is to-day one
of the five or six leading Americans. lie
represents his colored fellow'citlzens
some $4,000, 900 in number, an eighth OF
the nation, better than any other man IN
their ranks, and his career has qulckened
every hope of their progress and greatly
encouraged the conviction of those who
believe that rational solution of the negro
problem is by applying to it the principle
of simple justice and equality to every man
according to his deserts, his industry and
his opportunity.
In the cogent article on lynching law
and anarchy by him, which we reprinted
on Wednesday from the Sunday School
Times, Mr.. Washington pushes home the
real guilt of lynching. In its essence it If
anarchy. 1t is the substitution of violence
for law, of the individual impulse for the
ordered progress and working of society,
of vengeance for the sober punishment in
the name of an individual who has ceased
TO be useful to his kind, except as a de
terrent warning. AS Mr.. Washington
points out, the anarchy of lynching grows
by what it feeds upon. Lawlessnese
breeds lawlessness. A great population is
growing up accustomed to the idea of cub
shutting a mob for the court. Unless Thu
is checked it will end in the destruction OF
civilization. For when mob once begins
to be substituted for the court in the pun
ishment of single crime its application
will not stop there. 1t has not in the
case Of lynching, which is now employed
as a punishment for trivial offenses. From
dealing with crime in community With
mob law it will turn to dealing with prop
erty. Let the idea oil lynch law once gel
hold of the community and we shall have
landlords, railroad presidents and corpo'
ration managers hung by the mob when
ever the rights of property seem to the
mobjustly exercised.
The rights of every individual rest on
the ordered execution of law. This Is the
merest trusm, yet the experience which
Mr.. Washington narrates of finding any
number of men ready to urge the burning
alive of Czolgonz, his torture or his
prompt execution by lynch law,was shared
by every one during the days which inter
vened between his ofense and the sober
and majestic execution of the law compile
ted this week in his death. Incredible as
it may seem, there were in this city educa'
ted men, with all the SOLDERING influences
which properly stake bring and all the
outward appearance in dress, manner
habit and custom of civilized men, who
talked about Czolgosz like breech' clout-
ed savages with Ratchet in hand and
scalps at their glrdle. Civilization is, after
all, only mere veneer, and nothing but
the ceaseess support of law which Mr..
Washington so eloquently urges can pre-
serve its blessings.

MUCH MARRIED PEOPLE.
Remarkable Matrimonial Records oil
Women who Had Many
Husbands.

A Spanish journal has unearthed a
remarkable case of woman who has
six times been O widow in six years
and is on the eve of taking seventh
husband. This calls to mind other
notable cases of the sort. Lady Ellz
abeth Percy, in the seventeenth cen
tury, was twice a widow and three
times wife before she was out OF
her sixteenth year. The third man
who married this much-married girl
was the duke of Somerset, Charles
Seymour, who stood by the coffin OF
Charles II. after his death and by
the throne of George ii. at MS
browning. He was a notable inquire
in six reigns. He was well married
into the family which has become
known in history as the Proud Per
cys." When his young wife, Lady
Elizabeth Percy, died, the duke be-
came the husband of Lady Charlotte
Finch, and it is recorded that when
his lady once tapped him on the
shoulder the duke turned round and
said: Madam, my first wife was
Percy, and she would never nave
taken such liberty"
John Evelyn in his diary tells
story before which the record OF the
Spanish lady pales. Toward the enc
of August" he writes, 81 returned t'
Haarleon. They showed us cottage
where they told us dwelt a woman
who had been married to her twenty
fifth husband, and, being now VIA
ow, was prohibited to marry In INT
future; yet it could not be prove,
that she had ever made away WIFI
INV of her husbands, though the suS
picion had brought her divers times
into trouble.
An American lady, DIR. Mary opeh
GER. not many years ago took un''
herself an eleventh husband IN
town in North Wales. She was Al a
the time. so that she had had new
husband every three years.

THANKSGIVING DAY
The President Issues Proclamation Nam
inc thursday, Nov %.

Washington, Nov. 2.-President Roose-
welt toda, issued his proclamation fixing
Thursday, November %, as day OF ma
tional Thanksgiving 1t follows:
A PROCLAMATION.
The season is nigh when, according to
the time. hallowed custom of our people,
the President appoints day as the spe
cial occasion for praise and thanksgiving
to God.
This thanksgiving finds the people still
bowed with sorrow for the death of great
and good President. We mourn President
Mckinley because we so loved and hon
ored him, and the manner of his death
should awaken IN the breast of our people
a keen anxiety for the country, and at the
same time a resolute purpose not to be
driven by any calamity from the path OF
strong, orderly, popular liberty which
az nation we have thus far safely trod.
Yet in spite of this great disaster, 1t Is
nevertheless true that no people on earth
have such abundant cause for thanksglv-
ing as we have. The past year in part'cu-
lar has been one of peace and plenty. We
have prospertd in things material ana
have been able to work for our own uplift
ing in things intellectual and spiritual
Let US remember that, as much has been
given us, much will be expected OF us,
and that true homage comes from the
heart as well as from the lips and shows
itself in deeds. We can best prove our
thanksgiving to the Almighty by the way
in which on this earth and at this time
each of us does his duty to his fellow
men.
Now, therefore, l, Theodore Roosevelt,
President of the United States, do hereby
designate as a day of general thanksgiving
Thursday, the 2Sth of this present Novem'
Der. and do recommend that throughout
the land the people cease from their won't
ed occupations and at their several homes
and places of worship, reverently thank
the giver of all good for the countless bles
sings of our national life.
In witness whereof have hereunto sci
nv hand and caused the seal Of the UniteC

TEXAS SANITARY METHODS.
Mexicans offered Armed Resistance
But the Rangers Helped En-
force Regulations.

Last year, says the writer Of an
article on 1.-THE Texas Rangers" In
Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly, theirs
was an outbreak of smallpox in the
Mexican quarter of Laredo, and the
inhabitants would neither be vac
cinated nor would they permit the
smallpox patients among them to be
removed to the hospital. Capt. Rogers
and seven rangers were ordered to the
scene to enforce the sanitary regula-
tons. The Mexicans organized and
armed themselves to resist. As soon
as the troop arrived in the town Capt.
Rogers, with one man, went to the
street in which a smallpox patient
was located As he was walking up
the street he was shot from cover by
Mexican, who was promptly killed
by the private who accompanied the
captain. The sound of firing brought
the remaining rangers to the scene,
and they advanced up the street, firing
as they went. Hundreds of armed
Mexicans had gathered IN the street
to kill off the hated Americans, but the
back-door exodus that accompanied
the advance of the rangers would have
ludicrous, except for the accompany
ing spectacle of the wounded Next
cans, half-doEen of whom were left
in the street after the rangers had
passed. The official report of the affair
naively concludes: "After this the
removal of smallpox patients was an
easy matter"

Henderson Grimett, of this place, was
stricken with partial paralysis and COM
petely lost the use of one arm and side.
After being treated by an eminent physi-
clan for quite a while without relief, my

Balm, and after using two bottles of it he
is almost entirely cured.-GEo. X. McDoN-

ROYAL Family in Japan.

The little son Of lie Prince Imperial OF
japan continues TO thrive, hut tile nation
anxiety about him will not be relieved un-
I'll he has passed. his first year. An aye
from ten to thirteen months has been lie
crucial period for all chl lren OF the jar
anese imperial family in TIE present 'ei'
Grafton. Meanwhile there has been some
departure from the Occidental cu-toms
that seemed to ave been adopted on the
occasion of tn Prin:e mperi tls marriage
and that have been followed ever since in
his household.
II all essential respects the marriage IN
dcated that new importance was to be
given to the nuplial tie, and the Prince
himself has recognized the spirit OF the
change by abolishing the old rule of sepa'
rate existence for the husband and the
wife within the palace. He takes his
meals with the Princess and otherwise adj
nils her to an unprecedented share in lis
daily doings. That the baby should live
with its parents would thus have been a
natural corollalv. But it appears that
such radical departure from time.hon'
ored etiquette could not be sanctioned.
The little boy was handed over to The care
of Count Kawamura, all old nObleman
who distinguished himself greatly al
the time of the restoration (lo5I,)
served aferward for several years as Min
ister of the Navy and is now "a peer OF
the Musk Chamber" An allowance OF
$4,000 year goes with the onerous
charge, and it cOnfers, of course, great
distiction. But the result, so far as the
parents are concerned, is they see Their
child only at rare intervals, and it grows
up comparative stranger'to them. The
projected visit of the Prince Imperial tc
Europe will not be carried into practice
until the baby has safely emerged from It's

when labor was in such demand We
find that there is no excuse for any capa'
