It Actually Made the HustIing Western
 Barber, Sleepy. s'Why, say.' said g. visiting barber from the wide untrammeled west, ftyoQ folks here in New York are narrow, limited, shackled, contracted, far be, hind the age. You think you are the human limit when really your gait is very slow.
 E "I went into one of your shops here yesterday. Nice shop. good equip. ment everything fine and elegant, but when saw how slow you were here on the work it made me nervous, A good plant. but not worked to capacity.
 '"They had man in chair with a barber cutting his hair and q mani Ecure fixing hiss hands and bootblack blacking his shoes all at the same time. and suppose you think here that that's going some to have three; people work on customer all at once, but, goodness me, you ought to look Into my shop and see how we do things in my part of the country!
 "I've got shop that's every bit as modern and up to date to the last linn it as anything you've got in New York. but out there we utilize our plant. What do you suppose we do when man comes in that's in a hur- " to catch train? Think we all lie down and take nap?
 ''Why, we put one barber to cutting his hair and another to shaving him, and two manicurers tackle his hands, one on each side. We take off his shoes, and two boys work on them, each blacking single shoe, while two chiropodists get at him, each taking a foot, and at the same time we have one boy brushing the customers hat and another brushing his oyercoat, while another dusts the clothes he's got on with vacuum duster. "You put three people on a man at once and think you're doing something. We put on eleven and think nothing about it at all, and our town ain't a quarter as big as New York-not a quarter.
 '.Why. honest, this New York at mosphere makes me sleepy!' !'-New York Sun.

 A woman newly rich was invited to an aristocratic dinner party. During the course of fowl and salad this wO- man noticed with dismay fat, furry caterpillar on her topmost leaf of let tuce. Glancing up. she met her aristO- cratic hostess eye. The hostess, too, had seen the caterpillar. Her gaze i'm plored the guest to save the dinner from catastrophe. The guest gave her hostess reassuring smile. Then she doubled lettuce leaf around the cat erpillar and swallowed 1t calmly. The look of awe and gratitude that her hostess gave her was an assurance that her footing in society was at last firmly established. aR .as s..

RAN THE BLOCKADE.
Putting Through . Risky Piece of
 Business at Santiago.


 Putting Through . Risky Piece of Business at Santiago.
 Some naval officers at dinner party the other evening were discussing the efficacy of the Cuban blockade in 1898. That many vessels ran the blockade at Havana. Cienfuegos and elsewhere was admitted.
 But only one vessel ever ran the Santiago blockade" said one of the speakers. "and that was one of our own vessels the little Gloucester" He then described how the Glouces- ter ran the blockade. while command ed hy Dick Wainwright. then a lieu tenant commander. who had previous ly been executive officer of the Maine when it blew up.
 "We had been sent down to Asser- raderOs to communicate with the in- surgents." said the raconteur. who was on the Gloucester at the time. Upon onr return it was quite dark. and we were proceeding slowly to our station on the inside line of the blockade when the electric signaling apparatus broke down. We could not give q signal, particularly the private identification signal of the night. Had we been dis covered by one Of the hIockading ves- isels 1t would at once have flashed the signal. and if we did not immediately respond it would have promptly open cd fire. We would have been blown to pieces in minute,
 Tt was q risky piece of business, but Dick Wainwright was perfectly cool. and the Gloucester actually picked its way without being discovered through the whole bIockading fleet. took up its station on the inside line under the Morro. and as soon as the signaling ap. paratus was repaired reported it's ar rival. It was clear ease of blockade running. but 1t was mighty ticklish wEiiie it lasted."- San Francisco Call.

GOVERNMENT LOSES
COAL TRUST FIGHT
Wins on One Small Point,
But Loses ON Other I'M
nnrtant Ones.

Philadelphia, Pa. Dec. 9.-The United
States circuit court for 1.-The eastern
district OF Pennsylvania decided that
there is no general conspiracy among
the anthracite coal carrying roads or
coal companies to restrain commerce, to
monopolize the trade or TO maintain
certain prices, but it did decide that
the Temple Iron company is a COM
bina ticn of artracite coal carrying rail-
roads in violation of the Sherman
antitrust law.
The court granted the prayer of the
government for an injunction restrain
ing that corporation from continuing
violations of the act. The sum and
substance is that the government wins
o-ly' ore OF several points that in the
Temple Iron company case, and that
TIE defendants will not be compelled
to change the present prices of coal.

PRESIDENT HUNT THROWS THE HOOK"

In appointing the several commit tees of the constitutional convention President Hunt took occasion to use the big stick" on the heads of those who preferred that some other be selected president of tkat body. There were twenty-one committees suggested as necessary to carry on the work of the convention by the committee selected for tb1t purpose In naming these committees Presi- dent Hunt refused to put two men, who honorably sought to be elected president of the convention and re- ceived the solid support of their home constituency, at the head of a single committee as chairman. This action is beyond the range of de cent courtesy and amounts to nothing more nor less than a declaration oI open political warfare on Alfred Franklin of Maricopa county and Hon. VI. F. Webb of Graham county and those who supported them for president. Heretofore men in Arizo- na, who have been elected to such positions as president of the council and speaker of the house, have been magnananimous and courteous to their opponents in the race for pre- ferment and it is hard to realize a state of mind which caused Hunt to throw the hooks" into Webb and Franklin. his honorable opponents for the presidency of the convention.
