THE OLDEST AND THE YOUNGEST
SENATOR'S - EXCHANGES OF

Albany. March s (SpeciaD.-The senior and Junior
members of the Senate Hobart Krum. of Scho-

spectively. The former is sXty-nne years old and
the latter thirty. The birthdays of both men come
in January and are just a week apart, for the an
niversary of the birth of the Schoharie Senator
comes January l2 while that of his young col
league from the metropolis occurs on January 5.
Senator Krum is serving his seventh, and

though the two are occasionally pited against each
other on the floor OF the Senate on some Dill
which Senator Krum thinks might diminish the
States revenue by permitting evasion OF taxa

Both Senators are members OF the Senate Judci-
ary Committee, which Senator Bracket pre-
sides Because there only two Republican SEN
from the county Of New-York, namely, Sen
ators Elsberg and Slater, each is burdened down
with legislation which is referred to this committee
Consequently Senator Elsberg often rises in his
seat at meeting of the committee and asks for
favorable action Of his measures.
1t happened day that he asked for the favor

as he was taking his seat he exclaimed:

BARBER ATTENDS TO BUSINESS.

Many of the BARRIERS Of the State who
Albany in the interest OF certain measures affect
ing their business (for there is not year that
half dozen more barber bills not introduced)
look upon Robert G. Kuhn. the Senate barber as
a sort Of open sesame to whatever legislation
they may desire. They think that because he
shaves the members OF the legislature in this
way he can get their and inject successfully his
ideas. 1t is also prevalent belief that because
a man is down he is easily Influenced and
for this reason the Senate barber is thought to
hold a position fraught with peculiar powers.
With the introduction of a bill this session which
defines the profession of barber, by excluding all
from lawful claim TO the who have not had
academic course Of six weeks IT was expected that
through the bland words of the Senate barber
the passage of the measure would be assured. The
bill furthermore provided for State barber board
of examiners TO pass the qualifications OF all
applicants to the profession and to subject these
asprants severe examination in the art OF
hair cutting, shampooing hair singeing and shaw
ing. both with the grain ard against 1t. There
will also be questions for advanced degree on

But the Senate barber much the disappoint-

political subjects TO his customers. With such tre-

them.

one cold day this week a bill amending the code
OF civil procedure and as the measure dealt with
an involved legal question the lay members Of the
Assembly were attempting to escape 10 the lobby.
Mr. Colby was the introducer OF the bill and to
the surprise Of certain members who introduce
bills to lay them aside, the member from the
NXIXth District urged the passage of the measure
and dilated upon its merits
Mr.. Finch. for some reason or other. which he
himself did appear to know, opposed the bill
with great vehemence. and kept shaking large
sheet of paper in his hand and grinding his ncisors
Following Mr.. Colby and Mr.. Finch the other
New-York City lawyers took turns. and the legal
points became minutely dissected that not even
