There Twas CONSERVATION in the
Othello club Sunday night. There
was not much the matter only a super

a stag party, but it was necessary for
the police to be called to quiet the
festivious hilarities. The .Othel1o club
is a pace of well established reputa-

Sweet and Front streets. On the
night above mentioned there was a
gathering of the colored boys who en-
gagged in a little Observation-Disclosures.
They felt like singing, and %ihasmuch
as they had a combination Of. banjos.

A Matter of Taste

Kaiser Wilhelm's opinion, expressed in what was
almost official form, that a mustache, is a badge Of
masculinity and must he worn by fighting men, is
having, earlier than might have been expected, an.
effect which could not but be foreseen. In New York
the new rage for mustaches has driven the boss bar
bers to a protest. They blame the kaiser, and no
doubt rightly, for the new fad among men who have
long been clean shaven. And their protest against
the swiftly oncoming fashion is that four minutes
more of time is needed to shave, ~tastefully and ar
~tistically, around the corners of a mustache than is
needed in the clean shaving Of an upper lip.
Again the point Of view. The BARRIERS fail ito
get" the kaisers atmosphere. They do not calcu-
late upon the making of soldiers. And this diverg-
ence of their opinion from that of the kaiser raises
an interesting question in psychology. Is the mus
tache an Indispensable part Of the equipment of a
fighting man? We say, emphatically, no. The kaiser
has mixed cause and effect in his reasoning. He I'M
derstands, as we all do, that a man incapable of rails
ing a mustache would not be a man to trust in war.
But one capable Of doing SO, and who may deliber-
ately, for purposes of pulchritude or other purposes,
persistently shave away the hirsute crop on his upper
lip is only concealing, without destroying, his warlike
potentiality. The masculine spirit still survives in
him and struggles for expression in his face, where
II can front the world. He may repress, but cannot
destroy 1t. He might have his application for enlist
ment held up for a few days while recruiting officers
waited for a new growth of beard. But the clean
shaven face will never save a man from a draft.
None the less has the clean-sllaven face been a
concession to femininity. The ladies' like it. The
old saw that a kiss without a mustache is to a woman
like an egg without said has lost it's authority among
the women. They may be the next to defy the kaiser,
and, If they do, their edict will be more potent for
stopping the return of the mustache than that of the
The German ruler is certainly right in think
ing that q beardless army cannot strike the terror
into an enemy which it could if faced with heavy
capillary integuments. But there is nothing SO de-
ceptive as mere appearances. The Saxon scouts who
reported to Harold the night before Seniac that they
had seen the Norlnans, with their smooth faces, and
that they were priests and not soldiers were as
sure of their ground as the kaiser is. But history
told another story. 1t is all a matter Of taste; your
own or a woman's.

LIVED FOR THREE YEARS
IN OFFICE OF LAWYER
Strange Story TOldBy Woman
Who Saw Him Die

Monticello, N. Y, Dec. 23.-The
death of Melvin H. Couch, a promin-
ent lawyer and former district a.
torney Of Sullivan county, revealed to-
day that, unknown to his family and
friends and to his clients, a woman
had lived for three years in a secret
room connecting with his law office.
Couch was found yesterday lying dead
on his Office lounge.
Death was due to rupture of blood
vessel near the heart In the next
room crouched a frightened woman
who admitted she had seen him die but
insisted that she was not responsible
for his death. She said that she was
Adelaide M. Brance, of Goshen, n. Y,
and that the secret room had been
her only home during the three years.
Couch was So years old. The woman
is 40 Her hair has begun to turn
gray. She was poorly dressed. She
said she had lived in the place volun-
tarily and had never gone cut in the
day time. At rare intervals, she went
| for walk at night.
The woman was held on a technical
! charge, but the coroner's verdict as to
the cause of COUGHS death supported
her assertion that she was not re-
spons.ble The attorney, she said, died
of ruptured blood vessel Sunday
morning. The autopsy today brought
the verdict that death was due to
breaking of the ascending aorta.
Miss Brance said she first met Couch
three years ago when she called at
his office to sell books. The lawyers
| friends remember that about this
time he had the room where she was
f., found cut off from his office by a
heavy partition.
COUGHS wife first learned of hel
husbands secret when word of his un
expected death brought her to the of
flee where he lay dead. She had Wis
tied the office frequently, but haG
never entered the adjoining room

PROFESSIONAL BEGGERs
8EsEIGE GATE CITY

Atlants Dec. 28-Atlanta is as full
of prof sional Deggars as Rome in a
church, holiday
Apparently all the professional
cripphes and blind people on this
sidf of the Atlantic have decided to
mike Atlanta their Mecca. And the
police are doing nothing about it thus
far.
The beggars are dragging their un-
happy and distorted forms into places
where beggars have never been per-
mitted before. On Whitehall street in
front of the big department stores
where the pavement is crowded with
ladies shopping, crippled men sat all
day yesterday, begging for aims, while
crowds eddied around them.
Blind mendicants with tincups are
stationed at corners now where beg
gars were never seen before. And they
are not familiar faces. And they are
not even making pretense of selling
shoestrings or lead-pencils.
/ At all times Atlanta has a certain
| limited number of local blind people
and cripples selling things on the
streets and asking for aims. These
people stay nearly always at the same
point, and have come gradually to be
| tolerated. Indeed some of them wi.l
not accept money unless, the benefac-
tor will receive the pencil or shoe
strings in exchange.
But it is a new breed that Atlanta Is
suffering from this season. They are
the whining professionals who work
the holiday crowds.

MAYOR jim WILL
CLOSE LOCKER CLUBS
ON CHRISTMAS DAY

Atlanta, Ca, Dec. 23.-"Uncle Jim
Woodward, Atlantas mayor, has lit
the fuse of giant Christmas cannon
cracker, so big that if it explodes on
Christmas day, there is a chance of
its blowing all the Atlanta locker
clubs into kingdom come.
The mayor has officially requested
in formal order, that all the locker
clubs give up their time-honored Gus
tens and close their doors for Christ
mas day, exactly as if they were pub
lie saloons.
The clubs have responded unofficial
ly that they don't know whether they
will close or not.
If they don't close, it is declared by
those close to the mayor that it will
precipitate fight which may result
in the abolition of the locker clubs en-
tirely.
So there you are!
To close or not to close? That is
the question.
Nobody yet is certain how it will
be answered If the clubs close, the
incident will be closed too, except that
| it will be a tacit admission that the
city has more authority over the locker
clubs than it has chosen to exercise
in the past.
But if they don't close; if they re
fuse to accede to the formal signed
request" of the mayor, then that can
non cracker is likely to explode sure
enough.
