HARRINGTON IN SOCIETY.

JEFFERSON CITY, Aug. 26 =
Lord" Darlington, a bogus English
nobleman, who is serving life term
in the penitentiary for murder, has
managed to break into print again.
Last week the weekly ball at Nc
Clung's Park was given and Lord
Darlington was there to look after
the wraps of the ladies who danced
with state officials and others in the
big park pavilion, built on state
property by convicts. Concerning
him the society reporter for JEFF
ferson City newspaper has this 10
say:
"Lord harrington, the famous st.
Louis convict, had charge of the La
dies wraps am no one was busie2
or happier that he as he certainly
handled the delicate pieces that mi
lady is willing to discard while she
enjoys the Dances"
Darlington broke into the lime
light when he appeared at Kansas
City as a rich English lord and after
a very hasty courtship married Miss
Cochrane there. The pair went 10
st. Louis where Barrington's bride
discovered that he was not only a
fraud, but had served in Englisa
prisons. She left him. Later he
was accused of Turing James Mccain
out into st. Louis county and mur.
dering him for his money. He wa
sentenced to be hanged, but Governor
Folk commuted the sentence to lif,
Imprisonment.

SOCIAL SERVICE WORK IS
RECEIVING ENCOURAGEMENT
Workers in Federated Clubs Find Peo-
pie Responsive to Move for Asso-
ciated Charity and Nurse.
A PARTIAL REPORT MADE
Necessity for Closing Their Proposi-
ton Soon Grows Imperative as
Winter Draws Nearer.

The Social Service Committee of the
Federated Clubs met Tuesday after
noon and heard partial report from
those who are raising funds for the
Associated Charities and visiting
nurse which they will have under
their direction the approaching win
ter.
The report was most encouraging
and the success of the movement is
assured. The Baptist Ladies Aid Sc
ciety reported $65 raised and the re-
mainder of the 800 pledged in sighr.
The Stoddard Society of the Presby.
terian Church report $50 on hand;
the other half of the 500 pledged will
be raised soon.
The Jewish community of Mexico
have given $25 and the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Co. $3.50. The only
other money in the fund is the $10.45
raised by children who gave an enter
tainment for the purpose.
As winter approaches the necessi-
J ty for the subscription to be closed
and readiness for the many calls sure
to be made upon it is for those who
intend giving to not wait until called
on. This is a splendid work and
should be encouraged by all. 1t meats
the proper distribution of charity here
and the elimination of the faker and
beggar.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 80. -.
President Wilson is making every eff
fort today to make direct appeal to
the railroad men to postpone the
strike if their leaders fail to rescind
the order.
Republican members of the Senate
have set currents of opposition in ac-
tion purporting to delay any legisla-
ton the President may desire to set.
tie the strike situation. They are be-
ginning to insist that a careful in
quiry be made into every detail of his
plans before it is brought before
them.
In the House there is opposition
form D emocratic sources. The gem
eral impression is that the strike is
coming and nothing can delay it.
Although the railway presidents
feel that in the face of President Will
sons suggestion for legislation the
employees cannot afford to strike, they
have not overlooked and element of
preparation for the strike order.
Provision has been made to police
every mile of track and yards of all
the greater systems where the broth
erhoods are particularly strong. No
general agreement has been reached
on the question of embargoes. With
varying conditions each road was ex-
pected to act for itself.
The roads will fight a strike indi-
vidually and not collectively. Many
of them, the executives declare, will
be run more than so per cent efficient,
particularly on several Western lines
where there is personal sense OF
loyalty to the management or where
the proposal to strike was not encour'
] aged and not supported so strongly as
on some Eastern roads.
! What percentage of their trains the
Eastern roads can operate is guess
work. At one time there was plar
to operate only $4,000 miles of th'
100000 or more in the United States
for traffic on main arteries north
south, east and west. 1t was aban.
doned, however, because it was point.
ed out that the sympathy of the public
might depend to large degree on the
train service and the capacity Of the
roads to continue to transport the nee,
essities of life.

AUDRAIN GETS $1,000.

Of the $1,951 ,O42,27 of state funds
appropriated throughout the state for
public school purposes, Audrain coun-
ty will receive $1O,9s9.66. The sum
total of the fund represents one-third
of the ordinary receipts into the state
revenue fund for the school year end
ing June 80, 1916.
Of this sum $224,663 will go for ru-
raj schools aid. This fund is growing
each year as the various rural school
districts in the state are taking ad-
vantage of the law which allows them
to improve their institutions and re-
ceive aid from the state when they re-
ceive a certain tax.

MARK TWAIN'S CRITICISM
NOW AN ASSET TO THE TOWN


Hannibal, Mo-, has capitalized one
big asset we used to think was LA
bility," said Robert Blackwood, post.
master at Hannibal, this week.
"When our people first read the way
Mark Twain referred to us in Tom
Sawyer and Life on the Mississippi"
it made them feel like running him
out of town should he ever come
there" Blackwood said. "You know
he spoke of Hannibal as sleeping
away on a drowsy summer morning.
and of the clerks nodding on Tilted
split bottom chairs. But others told
them that Mark Twain was one of tha
biggest boosters the town could have.
They said he meant no harm about
poking fun at his old town, and the
thing for Hannibal to do was to get
busy in letting the world know thai
Mark Twain once lived there; that
the father - John NJ. Clemens -
was a justice of the peace, and Sam
a printers boy; and get Hannibal on
the map as the home of Mark Twain
One-Day Tours Mapped Out.
Hannibal went to work on the idea.
The place was advertised as the boy
lhood home of Mark Twain. A big
hotel was named for him, Bear Creek
was staked out for visitors, Holiday
Hill diagrammed and Photographic !
and all the places where Sam and
Huck and Joe Harper played were
worked into blue prints for the benefit
of visitors.
"The Commercial Club had tour
mapped out for visitors so that in a
day they can see almost every place
Sam and his chums set foot, includ-
ing McDougals mysterious cave,
Injun' joe was trapped after the
murder of young Doc Robinson.
Pictures Bring Large Sums.
"From a small river town twenty
years ago, Hannibal has become a
modern city, with every municipal
convenience, and is still growing rap
idly.
Hannibal photographers have made
and sold thousands of pictures Of the
Clemens home on Bird street, Huck
Firms house and Squire Clemens
court. The pictures have brought q
good deal more money than tbs
buildings were worth.
"The people of Hannibal are no Ion
ger resentful of what Mark Twair
wrote about them. They've erected {
large monument in his honor"

HAIRCUT TO COST THIRTY
FIVE CENTS AFTER fRIDAY
Local BARRIERS Will Get Thirty Five
Cents for Haircut - New Price
Begins Saturday.
COST OF SUPPLIES CAUSE.
New Price Was to Have Taken Eff
feet Friday, But SuperstitiOns
Barber Objected.

Beginning next Saturday it will
cost thirty five cents to get you,
hair cut.
This was decided by the Mexico bar
bers at a meeting Tuesday evening
The increase is due to the increased
price of BARRIERS supplies, large per
centage of which are imported, or were
up to the beginning of the war-ra-
zors, the best ones from Germany;
canvas strops from Scotland; leather
strops from Russia; brushes and ton
les and perfumes from France. The
war boosted the prices of these sup
plies until the BARRIERS felt they must
raise the price of the hair cut.
BARRIERS say the average man gets
his hair cut once in every three weeks;
figuring on this basis, they say it will
cost the average man only $1.40 moro
each year for his haircut than it did
at the old price.
1t was the original intention of the
BARRIERS here to put this new price in
to effect the first of September, but
one barber, who is superstitious, re-
fused to agree to this because the first
fell on Friday. So all of us who arc
afflicted with luxuriant hirsute crowns
have one more day of grace.
Earlier closing hours were also dis
cussed at the meeting, but owing to
the refusal of one shop to agree ~
the new hours, the old ones will be
maintained. The shops now close at
eight on five nights of the week, and
eleven on Saturday nights; it was
proposed that they close at seven and
ten, one hour earlier.
