BARRIERS are to be found everywhere
In China. No one need be at a loss to
nave his head shaved in any city or
village In the empire. Every day in the
year there must be hundreds of acres
OF Chinese heads shaved, and tails
combed out and dressed that, were they
united, would produce an Atlantic cable
OF hair. 1t is customary for China
man to have his head shaved and
dressed by the barber two or three
times a month. The paraphernalia of
the street barber consists of a small
cabinet, which serves as a seat for his
customer and receptacle for his in
struments; round, wooden case with
metal basin for water, which is kept
not by small charcoal furnace be-
meath; attached to this there is a pole
TO indicate his profession. When a
customer places his head in the BARRIERS
hands he has it steamed and rubbed
with a hot, damp cloth, then shaved !.
the face is then shaved, including nos
trils and ears. The eyelids are then
raised and the eyes cleaned, after
which the ears are operated upon with
small Instruments, cunningly devised
TO remove all obstacles from this mar
ucular gateway Of celestial knowledge
The spine is then punched and knead-
ed, to impress 1t with an acute sense
OF Its functions, and the patient retires.

A score of half tanned street urchins
composing the Washington club stared
critically at slender, brown eyed
young woman nervously twirling tin
plate.
"She's a new 'un an dead easy"
whispered President Tommy McGuffy
to his next neighbor.

II will call number, and that boy
must try to catch the platter before it

That's mew howled the boys as one
man and fell upon the plate in a strug-
Cling, yelling heap. One after another
extricated himself from the bottom of
the pile with burning personal griev-
ance against some one on top. The
mass dissolved into half dozen fights
while the remaining members danced
about scattering shrill advice and en-
enlargement. The girl looked on help
lessly, her feeble remonstrances com
pletely drowned in the tumult.
"Boysp sounded a clarion masculine
voice from the doorway.
The fighters fell apart shamefacedly
at the sight of Mr.. McKenna, in whom

Editor News:-I see in your paper,

first newspaper printed in Idaho was
first issued in Lewiston, Aug 2,
1873, by A. s. Gould and was called
the Golden Age. I beg your pardon
for the following statement: still
have in my possession copy of a
newspaper printed in Boise City,
Thursday, Feb. 16, 1865, by James
S. Reynolds & Co. and called the
Idaho Tri Weekly Statesman. This
paper has somethingsof an interest

home by my father, James G. Carr.

pioneers. lie was in this state at
the time she took her place among
the western territories. The copy
OF the newspaper i refer to jostled
over the Rocky Mountains in the old
time stage coach, which long ago
gave way to the swifter vehicle
drawn by the s'Iron Horse Of
course, being published in the "Wild
West" at time when all eyes were
turned toward the 'Land of Gold, >"
1t was read with interest and laid
away as relic. Five years later it
was taken to Missouri, where we
lived for eighteen years. Then in
1888 it recrossed the "Rockies'' in
sn emigrant wagon on its way to
TO the Pacific coast. 1t was in
Washington two years and then it |
got back to it's native state, where it
was placed on exhibition during the
Kendrick Far in 1897. taking the
prize offered for the Oldest newspaper.

ALL EFFORTS FUTILE.
STREET CAR STRIKE BY AR
RlTRATION FAILS.
CONTINUED WITH RENEWED VIGOR
TRANSFERS EMPLOYED BY THE
COMPANY CALLED OUT BY
THEIR UNION.

Chicago, Nov 20.-All efforts of the
mayor to secure arbitration of the
differences between the Chicago City
Railway company and its striking en-
ployes have failed
This announcement was made fol
lowing a series of conferences be-
tween Mayor Harrison and his media
tion committee of aldermen and com
mittees representing the company and
the strikers.
1t was stated that the days meet
ings developed no common meeting
ground for the opposing sides and that
for the present there is no sign of an
amicable settlement
A meeting of the executive councils
of all Teamsters' unions was called to
meet during the afternoon to take ac-
tion upon the refusal of Mayor Harri-
son to accede to a demand by the Chi
cago Federation of Labor that the po-
lice be recalled from the car lines
pending negotiations for arbitration.
A novel and annoying trouble for
the company has arisen in the refusal
of ash removers to work at the street
railway powerhouses. 1t developed
that sentiment rather than fear the
alleged reason of their refusal to work,
was responsible for the mems attitude
as they are not unionists. The COM
pany produces eighteen cars of Gin
ders daily and it is fast piling up
about the plants

TRANSFERS CALLED OUT.
Supplies FOR Street Railway Company
Cut Off.

Chicago, Nov. 20.-Renewal of hos
tilities between the City Railway COM
pany and the employees of that asso-
citation began early in the day, follow
ing the failure of attempts at arbitra-
ton. The first development in the
warfare was the strike of all the team
sters in the employ of the company.
In all sixty drivers quit work.
The strike of the teamsters was in
obedience to the command of the
Teamsters' Joint council. 1t is the in
tertion of the Teamsters' union, if pos
sible, to prevent the delivery of coal
and supplies to the railway company
and the operation of it's repair wagons.
Thus far the company has been able
to keep three days supply of coal in
it's bins and no fear is admitted by the
officials that there is danger of the
powerhouses having to be shut down
from lack of fuel.
The action of the joint council was
taken, according to the official records,
because Edward Dwyer, member of
the Transfers union, refused to haul
nonunion electric workers in his wag-
on and was thereupon discharged.
Dwyer is secretary for the Street Car
Transfers union.
The tieup on the Halstead Street
line Of the Chicago City railway was
broken during the day by placing in
commission five cars This is the
fourth line to be opened and operated
in a limited way.
Limited service on the Indiana, Cot
tage Grove Avenue and Wentworth
AvenIIa lines was maintained DURING
the day with little trouble. Police de-
tails accompanied each car and each
train sent out, but the force of patrol
men stationed along the three lines
previously opened was materially re-
duced to provide protection for the
Halstead Street line, which traverses
a district in which trouble is believed
to be more likely to occur.
