and In the auricies three days after death. This
he accomplished by perfusion Of the heart by

can be brought about by applying electrodes OF the

The Porto Ricans are still talking
about tariff protection for their coffee
in the American market. A San Juan

saying that he has been authorised by

or BARRIERS.

No one knows exactly how many bar
bers there are In New York. The official
record Of certified barbers' puts the
number at 10000. Boss" BARRIERS are
sure that the actual number Of those In the
barbering profession Judging from tho
applications made for employment) can
not be less than 100, 900. Persons who
have been shaved In strange barber
shops sometimes incline to the belief
that the number Of real, practical"
BARRIERS is limited.
When on duty BARRIERS, according to
to the old myth, have unrivalled oppor-
tunities for inserting campaign argyll
ments into the porohss Of their clients
ears. Sitters to those artists are In q
position In which they are compelled to
listen. A. q matter OF fact, BARRIERS arc
q taoiturn race.
The repeal Of the compulsory regis
tration part Of the BARRIERS law by the
Late Legislature did not bring the bar
beers together. To a regrettable extent
there was Q division OF opinion between
the American" and German artists ON
the one side and the Italian artists on
the other. A demonstration Of the COM
blned political strength Of the BARRIERS OF

often wonder why these patient, much

against those intolerable bores. most
Of their subjects and customers. And
though they shrink from too careful

their best card.
Absolute Federal prohibition of hair

fed on sanitary grounds and even IN

honest fellows the barber surgeons,
who now say that business is bad, would
profit by the Intervention Of the Govern
ment in their studies.
The BARRIERS should have asked for
more "shackles" and should have no
joioed TO hear them clank.

Webbing Fire Insurance Companies.

Webbing Fire Insurance Companies.
There may be some welohsrs among
the fire insurance companies. The San
Francisco people 90 assert most We
hemently. Ifsuchis the case, these COM
panies are likely to pay a heavy penalty
for THAR conduct. Their managers may
be SURE that the public will know them
and mark them as swindlers. and that
Injustice and unfairness In their treat
ment Of San Francisco will be remem-
bored and resented In every corner Of
the country.
Yet the fact that a fire insurance CON-
pany declines to pay losses in San Fran
cisco without the ordinary and usual
proof OF It's liability. without tbs sitting
Of all the evidence in every claim,
without insistenoe on the enforcement
Of the terms OF Its policy, does not
convict 1t OF sharp practice. Some Of
the companies plead exemption from
liability under Earthquake clauses In
their policies, the intention and scope Of
which must have been known to the in
eured. The companies arc mol or&anlza-
tions for the distribution of charity.
Their officers have not power, under the
laws regulating the business, to pay out
the companies money except In &C.
cordanoe with the contracts into which
they have entered.
Much Of. the heat and fury that have
been generated over the insurance stu.
alton in San Francisco Is plainly based
on q misconoeption Of the facts. Not all
the companies that dispute claims are at
tempting to rob their customers, II any
companies are taking advantage OF the
conditions now existing in the Pacific
city TO obtain undue advantage they
may be sure that their course will result
In serious injury TO their business In
the future.
