Chinese BARRIERS.

The Chinese are not accustomed to
tipping the barber. AS a matter of
fact the Chinese barber is very modest
in his prices, and his patrons can OBJ
tain hair cut. head shave, a face
shave, and in addition have his Shout
ders and back massaged, all for sum
total of less than 5 cents. The straight
razor used by Chinese BARRIERS is a tri
angular shaped blade with straight
handle, folding up as does the Amcri-
can straight razor. The blades are
made from old rails or any other crude
steel which has outlived its usefulness

RUSSELL NAUGU-
RATED GOVERNOR
Ceremony at Jackson Yesterday
Address More Than Hour
in Length.

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 20.-Lee M,
Russell, for the past four years Lieu
tenant-Governor, was inaugurated
Governor of Mississippi at the noon
hour today.
The Inauguration took place on the
front steps of the Capitol building
and was preceded by a parade in
which the entire legislative member
ship took part.
Splendid weather prevailed, per-
mitting the first outdoors inaugural
in eight years. Hundreds of visitors
political and personal friends from
other parts of the State, witnessed
the ceremony.
There was no military feature OF
the parade, owing to the fact that
the National Guard has not been full
ly reorganized, and the only uni
forms in evidence were those of the
new Governors staff and the Agricul-
tural and Mechanical College Band,
The oath of office to the new
Governor was administered by Chief
Justice Sydney M. Smith, of the Su-
preme Court, after which he was pre-
sented to the assembly by the retir-
ing Governor, Theo. G. Bilbo.
The inaugural address was more
than one hour in length, and cover.
ed practically the same topics as
those touched upon in the final mes
sage of Governor Bilbo.
Among the notable recommends
tions of Governor Russell are the ra-
tification of the Federal Amendment
for woman suffrage, retention Of the
State Board of Pardons and State
Tax Commission, issuance of $685.
100000 in bonds for good roads, alb
olishment Of the prison board of trus-
tees, creation of bureau of markets
and department of labor, sale of pri-
son farms at Oakley, Belmont and
Rankin, adoption of budgetary sys-
tenn for handling the states finances,
millage tax for state educational in
stitutions, creation of board of uni
form legislation, bond issue for per-
manent improvements at public in
stitutions, and increase of salaries for
state officials.

SHORT SKIRTED BRIDE
TURNED FROM CHURCH
Priest of Paris Refuses to Marry
Woman Because of Her.
Garb.

Paris. Jan. 1.-THE church cru
sade against short skirts and low
necked gowns continues. A notice
posted on the door of one Paris
house of worship reads:-
mo woman will be allowed to at
tend services in the church whose
dresses are cut low in the neck and
whose skirts do not reach at least to
her ankles"
Scathing sermons on the subject
have been delivered in Paris church
es for some time. One priest refus-
ed to conduct the marriage service
for bride whose dress, in his opin-
ion, showed too great length of silk
stockings and which was cut in such
way "as possibly to make it suit
able for evening wear, but certainly
not fitted for church" The we'd
ding was postponed. Probably this
was the first occasion of the post
ponement of a marriage ceremony
for such reason.
Partisan women say that this
measure, if generally enforced, would
compel every woman worshipper to
have special suit to wear to church.
