'fBARNUM'S TURN"

 SHOP 90 YEARS AGO
How the Great Snowman Come to Pay Strangers
 Check.

On Monday of last week in the story of "A Neat Barber Shop" un- der the caption Fifty Years Ago." owing to a Typographical error we referred to the owner of the shop as Joseph Jack instead of Joseph Pack. MT. Pack for years was proprietor of Bridgeport,s leading barber shop, To- cated at Wall and Water streets and opposite the old Farmer office. Among Barber Packs prominent customers was none other than the late P. T. Barnum and the great snowman would allow no one but Barber Pack to do his tonsoriaI work and when the former was located in New York city during the regime of Barnum's Museum, Barber Pack made daily trips to the metropolis for the purpose of shaving the great snowman.
 Barnurp repeatedly has been quot ed as having said: The people like to be humbugged' but the first and only time that the great Barnum was June morning about fifty years ago, the place being Packs barber shop on Wall street, this city.

 It was one of those rare days in June'' and P. T.. Barnum was in a hurry to catch the 7:45 train for New York when he decided to have Z ing for the metropolis. Barber Pack had just completed a job on one of
 his customers and there was another one waiting his turn when Barnum came rushing in, divested himself of collar and tie, etc, and then with the nerve of, a Napoleon he saunter- ed over to the vacant chair and de- posted himself in it while the wait ] ing customer, an Irishman who wish ed to be shaved before beginning his days labor, was divesting himself of coat, etc. Then the fun began. tfWhere the Sam Hill are you go- ing ?'' demanded the, stranger. My good man." said Barnum, "Im in a, hurry to catch the 7:45 for New
 York and if you will let me take your
 turn in the chair will pay your bill.''
 ''A1l right said the other, who then retired to the comfort of one of Barber Packs waiting chairs
 Barber Pack hurried his work on l the great snowman and when the joh had been completed and the latter
 was hurriedly leaving, he turned to i MT. Pack and said: Friend Pack charge this gentleman's bill to P. T.
 Barnum's account and with that
 hurriedly left the tonsoriaI apart ment.
