| he Barber Surprised.

From the Washington Post.
 During their stay in Washington one of the Honourable Artillerymen of Lon don entered local barber shop fer a shave. The sable tonsorialist was most affable. and incidentally asked a good many questions. Seeing by the red of his uniform that his customer was an artil- leryman, he said:
 Hos aiv'thing down at Font Wash in tun?"
 Fort Washington?" exclaimed the GUS toner; why, l downt knauw the place. Fort Washington, indeed; ahnd where is it, I should like to knauw?"
 "Oh, yes,n replied the barber. as he laid on' the second coating of lather; "oh, yes um, humph, l see you doan' b'long hyeah in dis city. Spects you is fun de wes'. How long yer bin in de Capertul?"
 "Oh, nauw. indeed, l asshaw you, I'm not an American at ail~ Why, why, do you not read the papaws. Why, man, have you not heard? I am from Eng land"
 "Yais sah.' was the reply, "da's whut I 'spected all long. But blamed if I knowad dey wuz enlistin' uv English sol jurs I knowed dey tuk in cullud pus- sons 'kasionalIy. an I knowed uv em a-acceptin' a Eyetalyun, onct. oveh at Font Myeh, but blamed if l eveh hyeahed uv eny Englishmun jinin' de army uv de United States"
 Whereupon the "Honourable" desisted from further explanations. allowing the barber the great American privilege of wallowing to his hearts content in his own ignorance.

While that country uses less American cotton than many other European nations, the feeling which has been aroused there is shared by them all As the advance of cotton here has largely been due to cor nering operations, the American people will hardly be pleased at the effect of this pernicious activity of the specula- tors.

 Representative Littauer takes the hon. orable course in asking for a full inves- tigation of his glove contracts and de- claring his unwillingness to take advant- age of the statute of Limitations. The statute, however, applies, and there can be no prosecution in the courts, but if Mr. Littauer is in earnest. there is noth- Ing to prevent him from asking congress to take up the case His alleged offense, If proved, would call for his expulsion or resignation from the house.

ton produced by the world on an average in year, over 100O0,0O0 is furnished by the United States Something like five sixth of the worlds supply is provided by this country But there are cotton fields elsewhere-in Egypt. Turkey. India, Bra gil, and other places-and Europe Is in- tercsted in making them as productive as possible. In none of them has the ex- peeted amount of success been attained. Not only does the United States furnish the bulk of that staple. but the quality of the American product is superior to that obtained elsewhere.

in some of the great jewelry houses this season surpass in artistic beauty and val ue any similar exhibitions which New Workers have ever seen. Tn one estab- lishment of this kind there is for in- stance. a toilet set of solid gold for which the trlfe of $4900 is asked. It comprises two cologne bottles, a pun box, a hand mirror, two hair brushes, button hook and a dressing comb. A cheaper set is marked $19O0. Single puff boxes, studded with jewels, at $500 apiece, are scattered around as if they amounted to nothing. Out of mere curiosity I asked one of the statesmen how often they sold a set? !? Five of the five thousand dollar ones this month," was the bland reply.
 
 When a thoroughly trained New York business man has business on hand he all lows nothing to interfere with the trans action of it. This was strikingly shown during the recent bitter contest, especial 1y in the financial district. Within busi- ness hours. not word could be heard about candidates, platform prospects. probabilities possibilities of political nature The interest was there, keen and intense. but because of sort of un- written law of rule, every man kept his
 
 pry into those of his friends or aequaint- ances Political disputations are not in favor with New Workers. They are, in fact, regarded as an evidence of ill., breeding. or at least unfamiliarty with metropolitan ways and customs Busi- ness, amusements, social scandal, the newest idea in anything--these are. the main topics of New York conversation.

 The postoffice in this city holds the blue ribbon of efficiency in it's great de- partment of the government, so far as public service and financial returns are concerned. The amount of work the force employed in 1t manages to get through in a single twenty-four hours is almost incredible Tons and tons of mail are handled with the precision of the most perfect machinery. The money depart ment alone has transactions extending all over the world, far bigger than have many very pretentious banking estab- lishments. Nevertheless, there appears to be something in it that is not exactly right; hence the investigation ordered by the President with a special commission to ferret out the wrongdoing. Another construction put on this commission bus mess, is that 1t is a gallery play on the part of the administration at Washing ton to prove its earnestness in the cause of reform.
 The present theatrical season has been thus far a failure financially. Few houses are making big money, the majority are making something over expenses and many are running behind. The best evil dence of the depression is that the tick ct spectators have almost disappeared. Apparently the houses are fiourishinp but that is easily arranged. What Is the trouble? "Too many theaters" is one reason assigned. Poor plays is an- other. Business depression' is a third. The theaters depend a good deal upon out-of-town support that is upon vis- tors from other parts of the country. These are not very much in evidence at the present time for some reason or an- other.
