"Of course, I don't remember everything
about the old time BARRIERS who fourished
in this city before the war" said the old
resident ''but / know / have vivid recol-
lection of many of them. and dare to assert
that no city of any Importance had a
better class of men, taken altogether, than
they were. Early in my day lived and
f1ourished Davy Carrot. who kept a shop
on the east side of 7th street between q
and H streets. Davy's patrons were main
ly well-to-do-looking people in that part of
the town. He was a light-colored yellow
man. He was lame and was somewhat Of
a musician. In fact, I scarcely know of a
barber in that period-that is. colored
barber-who was not given to music In some
way or other, and it was a common sight
when one entered their tonsorial parlors to
find violin, guitar or banjo stored away in
some corner Of the shop. Many of the old
time fellows were also frSt-claSS vocaliSts
and members of various colored church
choirs. One Of these barber singers l knew
very WELL His name was Henry Boston.
He was a very black man, and In his
physical proportions magnificent speci-
men of a man. He frequently appeared
In amateur opera given by colored singers,
and always acted and sang his part in first
class style. He was a member of the
Presbyterian Church choir. That church,
on 18th street, numbered among its at
tendants the majority of the elite among
the colored people of Washington. Boston
one of the most courteous of men, and
had the full respect of every one who knew
him.
Another one of these old time fellows
was a man named Washington, who for
long time carried on business on Pennsyl-
vania avenue near Sd street. near the old
st. Charles Hotel. Andrew Johnson at
one time made the old hotel his home
when he was in Congress and was one OF
Washingtons patrons. He became par
ticular friend of the old fellow and was
instrumental in obtaining for him the pO
sition of barber for the United States Sem
ate, where, in addition to his other duties,
he had charge of the bath room, and many
a senator has been refreshed and reinvig-
GRATED in his subterranean region at the
Capitol. Washington used to say that the
hardest work in his experience as q bath
man was to take care of Preston King Of
New York. That senator was a man OF
bulk. He was Falstaffian in his proportions
and very unwieldy, and the old senator de-
manded considerable attention in the lava
tory. Old Washington was vain old crea-
ture. He prided himself on his long black
hair and was not backward by any means
in claiming a distant kinship with the ia
Their of his country.
Every old citizen, / am sure, remembers
Joe Shorter. He was barber of the old
school, and probably the most popular of
the entire crowd. He is still living and
takes his daily walks abroad. If that old
fellow should write a book I am sure he

Deafness Caanot be Cared

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that il by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition OF the mucous
lining of the Kustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you
have rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammat ton can be taken
out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflaned condition of
the mucous surfaces.
