The basin had a notch cut in it 10 it the throat and was used in lathcring the customer preparatory 10 shaving him. The pole represents the stan held by the patient who came tO the barber surgeon to be bled.

Following is an authentic statement
of the financial programme of the friends
of the District in Congress, obtained from

Estimate of Districts half of necessary
current expenses yearly, $500 900. Sur
plus yearly, 81 900 900.
These figures have been prepared by

are working out a plan for advancing to
the District the money necessary for the
most pressing improvements.

While considering private claim bills
the House also passed a bill for the re-

whose office was robbed of stamps to the
value of s74,610 last October. Mr.. Bou-
tell stated the circumstances of the ia

limit the effect of State legislation con-
corning goods. wares, and merchandise
wholly or in part manufactured by con-
vtct labor or in any prison or reforma-
tory.
This bill has been endorsed by the
Federation of Labor as well as all the
labor unions of the country.
MIR. Raabe and Mr.. Eaton made very
interesting speeches, and pointed out nu-
mercus cases where prison made goods
of one State not only come in close com
petition but undersold the same article
manufactured by free labor.
They endorsed the New York statute,
which requires the State institutions to
purchase the prison made articles, ana
thus goods manufactured by prison labor
in New York did not come in competi-
ton with free labor in the Empire STATE;
But. Of course, what they wanted, ana
what free labor wanted, was the enact

Chairman Ray said the only question
that bothered the committee was whether
or not the proposed bill was conStltu
