The BARRIERS of this city are in II
state of unrest over the matter of
working time and closing hours. Some
time ago. at a joint meeting of en-
ploying and journeymen BARRIERS, an
arrangement was made for the clos
ing of the shops Sundays and holt
days. But this arrangement, which
was slated to go into effect July II,
did not appear to the employers as
productive of business and profits for
them. They saw where numbers of
their regular customers would be in
duced to begin to learn to shave
themselves, and they got together in
a meeting at the Windsor hotel shop
and decided not to put into effect
those closing hours. Now it is the
employed BARRIERS turn 10 fall out
with his employer. Journeymen are
displeased with the manner in which
their bosses have broken faith with
them, and at meeting last night
voted not to shave Sunday customers
after the above date and not to arbi-
trate the question. \ strike is prom

DAVENPORT DOTS

Monday night Sheriff Macarthur re-
ceived word that young Fred Adams,
son of NJ. j. Adams, the dentist, who
who was committed to the Eldora
ceformatory because he was habitual-
ly vagrant and an incorrigible, and
Who was given a chance to reform
but abused it by running away, has
been located in Washington, Ia. He
notified the authorities down there
20 take him in custody, and hold him
until he could come down after him.
Mr.. Macarthur left on the II o'clock
train Monday night, and arrived with
he boy yesterday. Fred will now be
aiken to the reformatory school
where he will have to remain until
ne is p years of age.
The heirs of the estate of the late
Ann Russell Allen. of ST. Louis, may
possibly carry their case with the
city of Davenport to the supreme
court of the United States, but there
loes not seem, at this moment, any
great encouragement for them to do
| this. They have lost, and the city
has won, in every trial in any court
thus far. The matter at issue is the
special tax laid for the paving of East
River street in the Camp Mcclellan
tract. The assessment was in the
neighbOrhood of $4,000 and now the
| charge is increased by one-third by
the accruing of interest. City Attor-
ney Henry Thuenen has received a
copy of the decree of the circuit
court of the United States for the
southern district of Iowa, pursuant
to the trial of the case in that court
| at Keolluk some time ago. The decree
| is utterly and altogether in favor of
| the city, and piles the cost higher still
for the Allen heirs, with a foreclosure
| sale, by way of recovery under lien,
IN front of them. The decree states
| that the court has carefully con-
sidered the case, and that it finds
that all the equities in the conten-
ton lies with the city, and against
| the Allen heirs.

At that pc iod. although of tender years. I was gifted with large adult appetite.

 There is another crying evil which de- mands reform. In small hotels, where the menu is not printed. 1t is the custom of the waitress to recite the list of eat ables with velocity which telescopes each item. and to subsequently bring such refreshments as the dazed boarder has been able to rescue from the wreck of words You have had a con5urcr force card on you! He apparently hands you the pack to choose from. but you always take the card he selects. So it Is with the hotel waitress She can force pie on you in the same way Mattresses should be compelled by an act of the Legislature to repeat the bill of fare over slowly, and 1t should be a misdemeanor for her to afterward retire behind your chair, fold her arms and gaze scornfully at your back hair.

woman with small waist nowadays one is positively startled? A few years ago it was the regular thing, and the common sense waist measure was the exception. But we have changed all that. The com plexion counts for more now than the smallness of the waist. and one cannot have both, you know. l well remember a Imaginable incident of those small waisted days. A plump. much laced in woman entered a street car. Almost at the same moment the car went around a sharp curve. and my lady landed in a sitting position right on the floor of the car Twice she shook all over in vain attempts to get to her feet; then she relapsed into helplessness. while her face took on an apoplectic hue both from her efforts and her embarrassment. Finally the conductor came along and raised her up by pushing upon her substantial shoulder blades, much as one would raise a fallen beam. The other day I was walking along Fifth Avenue with a friend, and we saw a Title creature with abnormally high French heels, an abnormaIly fluffy head of hair and an abnormally small waist.

Black for Young irls.

I have been struck lately, If you will pardon my changing the subject so abruptly. by the great quantity of black which is being worn. not by old ladies' there would be nothing remarkable in that-but by very young girls. If you look at one of the sketches, you will see a very smart gown of jet over black chif ion and black taffeta. The waist was made with a Spanish effect, very becom- ing to the brunette who wore it. The front and sleeves were of black chiffon put on very full. The little sleeve caps and the body were of all over jet. A transparent collar and a transparent piece in the front allowed the flesh tones of the neck to show through prettily The skirt was very simple It was cut bell fashion. with chiffon ruffle at the bottom. and the jet formed long perpendicular lines which radiated outward at he lower edge. posed of three ends adjusted on boned foundation.
 This is the way it was made: A wide piece of black velvet ribbon. chosen for the belt portion. was scanned in the cen ter of the back, the seam being taken wider at the lower edge than at the top so as to give 1t the upward slant in the back and the downward slope in front which fashion requires. Ribbon one size narrowed was cut in three lengths. two equal and the third longer. The longer was placed in the center and the whole secured by a tiny piece of the velvet wound around in the semblance of knot. The ends were cut pointed and edged with narrow applique. l forgot to say that along the back seam the belt was boned. This makes a charming belt for summer and evening gowns.

 Mir. Mack's prompt recognition of the drift of Democratic party sentiment, away from Bryanism back to Cleveland ism, and his readiness to put himself in touch once more with that element of the party that went into exile with Cleveland in 1893, show that he is no Bourbon. He has fought, bled and died for Bryan and hic populistic program; now he has come m from the bog on to solid Democratic ground where, with The Brooklyn Eagle and The New York World, he nails man. In view of all that has happened in the last sevdn years this is bold move on MT NAck's part and a signih- cant one.

TWO BROTHERS PARDoNED.
Walker County Men Sentenced foI
 Manslaughtpr.

Governor Jelks yesterday granted pardon to Dolphus Stevens and Walter Stevens, Walker County convicts.
 The Stevens brothers had been con- victed of manslaughter and were serving sentences Of ten years each in the peni- tentiary. They had served portion of their sentence, having been convicted in the spring of 1902.
 Public sentiment in that section of Walker County where the crime was committed was strongly in favor of a pardon for the convicted men.
 The pardon of the men bore the follow ing endorsement from the Governor:
 The trial judge and solicitor both rec commended pardon 'n these cases. They agree that both parties have been suffi- ciently punished and that clemency to them now would in no way interfere with the due process of law and order in the community and in the county in which the offense was committed. A large num- Der of good citizens-their neighbors- testify to their previous good character. The Board of Pardons recommends clem- ency as well as the jury which tried them. Let pardons issue.'

 Speaking from my own experience. can say that I simply won't have girl around who won't do her share. My pet aversion Is girls who accept favors and never return them. Can't afford to? Well, perhaps they can't afford some of them, to give as good as they received. but they can do something. It's one of the greatest mistakes women, and espe- cially girls. make not to do anything in return because they can't do great deal. They get credit for not wanting to do anything.

The Right Sort.

I wouldn't give an affair without two or three girls that I know. They are not particularly pretty. only fresh looking and animated. They are always daintily gowned, although none of them Is rich, and two of them make their own things, but they are always appropriately dress ed. Oh, that's the thing! I know that when I invite them to a musicale they won't appear in heavy stuffs. and when the boys and l plan trip to Chinatown they won't come in lace robes and span gles. Then they are absolutely uncon- scious of themselves and spontaneous. One of them sings a bit, another does a little of everything from a cake walk to ar ranging the table in an original fashion for little dinner. and they are always good natured and sunny.
 Give me an appreciative girl possess ing good nature I would rather have her-and so would most men-than the most brilliant, dazzling and admiration compelling creature without it.

What makes a girl popular? What makes her popular with men. popular with her own sex? What quality IS 1t which makes her desirable guest at dln- ners. and. in fact. at every sort of en- tertainment?
 Many girls would give a great deal to know this, particularly those who Just fall short and are conscious of it.
 I have been giving the matter some thought and have been helped by the
