MANY INSPECT
BARBER SHOP

The tonsorial palace of James J.
Cohen, in the DUPONT building, was
opened for inspection last night. and
it is estimated that 1900 persons called
to view the place. It is far ahead of
anything heretofore attempted in the
way of a barber shop i'm Wilmington,
and will rank in elegance of equip
ment and appointments with any in
the country. Everything has been
done with an eye TO the artistic. and
Mr.. Cohen has a shop of which he ana
all Wilmingtonians may well be proud.
Adjoining the walls are mirrors en-
cased in heavy frames OF Italian
marble. while the large pillars in the
centre Of the room are covered with
the same kind of marble. Mr. Cohen
who has seen many barber shops in
all portions of 1he country, asserts
that his is the most sanitary barber
shop in the world, and. while not as
large. is still able to accommodate a
large number of BARRIERS.
Ten chairs have been installed. the
cushions being of solid springs mount
ed on metal frames, with marble
bases. Facing the chairs are marble
stands. each of which is connected
with hot and cold water and a shower
bath for shampooing.
A sterilizing chest has been installed
to cleanse cups. brushes, etc, and this
operation will be as thorough as the
sterilization of surgical instruments in
a hospital
The temperature of the chest is such
that no germ or microbe could exist
a second in it. In another compart-
ment below. also supplied with steam,
the towels to be used or persons faces
are steamed to such an extent that
while they will cause a smart they
will not burn the face OF the patron.
There is also a manicuring room
and retiring room for women at all
times A dry sterilizer has also been
installed and all sponges, combs and
brushes and cotton used on patrons
viii not be used by any other person
other than the one to which they be-
long. A sleeve towel. made especially
for Mr.. Cohen. is one of the unique
features of the shop. There is a boot
black stand for the use of both men
and women.
The attendants of the shop viii he
attired during working hours in linen
suits with white shoes TO match.

Mr.. Dalzell, OF Pennsylvania, offered
an amendment, providing for the con-
tinuance of work on dam No. 7 on the
Ohio river, but 1t vas defeated on a
test vote. which showed that the
chairman Of the river and harbor COM

amendment to the budget which has
not his sanction.
Mr.. Gill, Of Maryland, suggested ap-
propriating an additional 81, 200, 900

who said the amount appropriated was
sufficient.
