Washington, Oct. 23.—There is one bar
ber shop where barbers do not do any
talking to the men in the chairs. This
shop is the Capital, and is the private
shop of United States Senators, where
only two men from each state are al
lowed the privilege of sitting in the red
plush chairs. A man who has shaved
faces in this little basement of the Capi
tal for years, gave me an interesting ac
count of the fads of certain senators the
other nighty
‘•Senators,’’ he said, “are the most
peaceful people to shave I have ever met,
and it is seldom that they complain. Do
you know who is the most particular man
in the Senate about the way his face is
shaved? It is Senator Gibson, of Mary
land. He gets shaved every day, and
would as soon appear in the Senate cham
ber without his coat as with any vestige
of beard upon his face. He will not
shave himself-either. There are several
men that the Senate barber shop never
sees. Senator Walthall, of Mississippi, is
one of these. He does not get his hair
cut at all as far as I can find out. He
likes to have it rest down on his shoul
ders, and is very proud of its length and
thickness.
HARRIS ONE OF THE CARELESS ONES.
“Senator Harris, of Tennessee, is another
who pays no attention to his hair. He
gets shaved regularly, but will never
allow his hair to be touched. He will
always insist upon brushing it himself.
He gives it two savage digs in front and
considers his duty to it wholly done.
“The hardest face in the Senate to
shave is that of Senator Alien, of Nebras
ka. You do not realize how large a man
he is until you come to go over it with a
razor. ' There is a tremendous surface to
his face and it is a long'task and a hard
task to shave it clean. He always insists
upon being shaved close and he occupies
the chair for the longest time of any •of
the senators.
“Senator Hoar is very particular about
his face. He will never allow anything
but water to be used on it. He detests
bay rum and everything of that charac
ter.
SHAVES THREE TIMES A PAY.
“Senator Wolcott gets shaved oftener
probably than any of the Others. Several
times, two at least, I remember 1 have
shaved him three times in one day. He
told me that one day he was shaved four
different times. It is not tha’t his beard
is so fast growing that it needs alt this at
tention, but he says he likes the sensation
of leaning back helplessly in a barber's
chair as most people get in a dining chair,
simply for pleasure.
“Another one of the senators who does
not like the shears is Senator Brice, of
Ohio. Only once since he has been in the
Senate have I known him to get his hair
cut. His hair is very long and very
curly, and it is one of his boasts that he
does not have to brush it even in the
morning, as it takes one position and
stays in it for three or four days at a
time.
CLEANLY M’MILLAN.
“Senator McMillan, of Michigan, I
think is the most cleanly man in the Sen
ate. He comes inhere to wash his hands
on an average of once or twice an hour,
and to get his hair brushed at the same
time. He often gets shaved twice a day,
and always has his shoes blacked as soon
as the session adjourns.
“I shaved Senator Hill one morning and
he. told me that it was the second time ho
had ever been shaved by a barber. He
said he always shaved himself, uud not
only that, but sharpened his own ra
zors.
“Senator Peffer has never troubled this
barber shop but once, and then only for a
minute. He came in to get ad vice as to
how to trim his beard. In a few days
after that 1 saw him, and noticed that he
had trimmed it very carefully, according
to the instructions we gave him.
“Senator Daniel, of Virginia, and Sena
tor Dubois, of Idaho, get shaved here
regularly every day, and Senator Davis,
of Minns sota, almost ns regularly.
“Senator White, of Louisiana, has a
pair of little side-whiskers of which he is
very found, and to which he devotes any
amount of attention. Every other day
he comes in here, that is on Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays, and at the
same hour each day.
LINDSAY’S SKIN VERY TENDER.
“Senator Lindsay, of Kentucky, wears
no beard at all, and his face is one of tho
hardest we have to shave. His skin is as
tender as that of a baby, and ho makes it
more so by insisting on the application of
very hot water. You know we are not al
lowed to talk to our senatorial customers,
unles- they talk to us first.
"The man who does tho most talking
while getting shaved is Senator Kyle, of
Houth Dakota. Senator Chandler does
the least talking of any man who comes
here. Ho silently gets into the chair and
announces that lie- wishes his hair and
beard trimmed, reads a copy of his own
Concord paper, while the operation is
going on, and generally departs without
saying another word. Senator Gordon,
of ( leorgia, is the next one in the point of
silence, with Senator Cameron a close
third. ,
“Senator Colquitt is very difficult to
stiate, because we have to apply the.razor
to him in his invalid chair. Of course, all
the Senators do not come here, as many
of them have their own private barbers
outside; but about two-thirds of them
have all their tonsorial work done in
this room.
LIBERAL IN TIPS.
Ihe statesmen at this end of the capitol
? ro much more liberal in tips than those
in the House end, if what the barbersover
there tell me is true. The southern sen
ators tip oftener than those from the
north and west, but when the rich sena
tors do give, they come down very hand
somely. Senators Butler. Blackburn, Bate,
th . i l,<T ’ White and Morgan never leave
ne shop without feeing the barber and

th' ni ' Hr Walcott are the. most liberl from

SERMONS ON THE WIRE.
The Use of the Telephone Is Being
Discussed in New York.
Successful Tests in England-Met
ropolitan Clergymen, as a Rule,
Do Not Favor the Plan - The
Scheme Perfectly Practicable.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
New York, Oct. 14.—The introduction
of telephones into our churches for the
benefit of the sick, and others who cannot
attend service, is receiving serious consid
eration in New York. A system has
been evolved by which not only the ser
mons, but the music, can be reproduced.
By this means one can sit in his bedroom
or parlor and hear tho whole service as
well, almost, as if in his family pew.
The system has already been intro
duced in England. lij Bradford there aro
three instruments—an Established, a
Wesleyan and a Unitarian church. The
parish church at Chesterfield has a tele
phonic communication with some fifty
subscribers, but the most elaborate of ail
is a set just finished for tho Litchfield
cathedral with the full indorsements of
Canon Wilcox. At the end of the choir
stalls on the top of tjie lietern and the
reading desk of the pulpit, are placed
small metallic cased t ransmitters so ar
ranged as to be invisible to members of
the congregation. The sounds are gathered
in by the transmitters without requiring
the voice to be directed in close con
tiguity upon the plate of the transmitter.
A DECIDEDLY 80CCESSFUL TEST.
This was successfully used for the first
time at the harvest festival commemora
tion. The listeners at the receivers heard
not only tho sermon and tho service, but
a basso and tenor solo by two of the vicar s
choral.
In order to test the feeliag in regard to
the use of telephones in our churches,
the writer interviewed the Kev. Father
Arthur Ritchie, the leader of the High
Church Episcopalians in the diocese of
New York, or as they call themselves,
the Anglicans; the Rev. Father Colton,
the successor of the once deposed and
now vindicated priest, Father McGlypn;
the Rev. Dr. Parkhurst, the celebrated
Presbyterian who is trying to suppress
vice, as well as other distinguished di
vines.
From these interviews, which will be
seen later on, it is clear that there is a
wide difference; ,qf .opinion among the
leaders of-the various religious beliefs in
relation to the matter under discussion.
Naturally many people will object to
application of the creation of the human
mind and genius to things spiritual, as in
the use of the telephone; but may not the
same objection be urged in regard to the
use of tho multiplication of religious
works and sermons by means of the print
ing press 'i The pope’s blessing has been
sent by telegraph and cable, then why
not, a sermon by a Potter, a Corrigan, a
Ritchie or a Hobart, or a Collyer, be
heard with benefit through the ’phone.
Of course no one will contend that a
sermon could be heard so satisfactorily in
this manner, as, of course, the glance of
the eye, the gesture of the speaker and
the tone of the voice would be absent,
yet by a little stretch of the imagination
the listener will see the swaying of the
congregation by the words of the
preacher whom they are meeting face to
fice. Again it maybe argued that the
listener over the wire will .hear every
word of the sermon, for his attention will
not be attracted by outside influences,
such as the coming and going of people,
the latest new bonnet and the many noises
that distract from time to time the at
tention of worshipers in public.
OPINIONS OF LEADING CLERGYMEN.
The followin'; ure the opinions of some
of the loading clergymen of the me
tropolis upon this question:
Iter. Father Charles H. Colton, pastor
of St. Stephen’s Homan Catholic church:
“Can a person receive the full benefit of
the presence in the body of the Divine
presence at a mass through a telephone?
Oh, no, it is necessary for a personal at
tendance at church and for the eye to see
as well as the ear to hear the priest when
he celebrates mass, if a person is to re
ceive the full benefit. In cases where the
church was too crowded to admit persons
desiring to attend mass aud when they
stood on the steps and in the street it has
been held that they secured the full
benefit for they were physically unable to
see and hear, but did their best keeping
their eyes upon the persons nearest the
officiating priest.”
“How about inyalids?”
“Well, you see. they are not obliged to
attend mass, and of course if they go to
the trouble of having a telephonic com
munication with a church their action is
meritorious, and I have no doubt it would
not go unrewarded before Cod. They
would receive the benefit of hearing the
sermon and the mass, but 1 hardly think
they would recoive the full benefit of the
Divine presence; yet 1 am not prepared
to say positively that they would not. I
certainlv can "see no reason why tele
phones should not be used with good
effect by persons notable to attend mass.”
PERSONAL ATTENDANCE NECESSARY.’
The Rev. Father Arthur Ritchie, rector
of the Protestant Episcopal church of St.
Ignatius, said: “By all means I should
recommend the use of telephones in our
churches to be connected with the houses
of parishioners who are sick or otherwise,
absolutely prevented from attending the
services of the church, just I believe in
the church taking advantage of all the
advances of science in preaching the gos
pel Of course, under no circumstances
do 1 think the possession of a telephone
connected with a church aud its uso
would relieve nuy one of the obi pat ion
pi attend DfWne worship. I be
Rove. too. that the full benefit
oi the Divine presence at , mass
could be receive! through a telephone, of
course where a wysonal attendance,
which is required, was absolutely i.n
--i ossible. Olliers will probably hold a
di.fcrent view upon this |toiut, for you
Know even in the church >vo do not
nlwavs agree, although someday I hope
and believe we will all dwell in unity;
but upon the (mint, that a person unable
to ittu-nd the public worship of Clod can
obtain benefit from hearing the beautiful
THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1893.
ritual of our masses and the word of God
as expounded by the officiating priest, it
seems to me there can be but one
opinion.”
Rev. Charles H. Parkhurst, of the
Madison Square Presbyterian church —
Impossible! The most important eletnent
in the service of the church is that of
personal service. The individuality of
the preacher forms a very important part
of the service, and that could not be
transferred over a wire, at least not a
telephone wire. Why, can you imagine
Christ’s sermon on the Mount of Olives
being transmitted over the telephone 1
ALLOWABLE IN SOME CASES.
“There is no doubt,” continued Dr.
Parkhurst, “that our church services
could practically be transferred by tele
phone, for I remember there was a lawyer
named Beach, who resided on Fourth
avenue, that used to have the late Henry
Ward Beecher’s sermons transmitted by
telephone, or some other manner, to his
house every Sunday. Tho Rev. John
Hall has, or had, a system of tubes in his
church on Fifth avenue by which his
sermons were transmitted to pews owned
by deaf parishioners. In that case, how
ever, the worshipers both heard and saw
tho preacher, and therefore received the
full benefit therefrom, but the telephome
case is very different.”
Rev. Palmer S. Hulbert, of the Marble
Collegiate church, Fifth avenue and
Twenty -ninth street—No, sir! 1 do not
believe in the worship of God by tele
phone, nor do I believe it will ever come
into general practice. You cannot trans
mit the emphasis of the preacher, his ges
tures, nor the look in his eye during the
delivery of his sermon. Not even the full
benefit of a service can bo had, as the
magic of tho human voice does not go
over the wire.
Rev. Father Ducey—l do not care to ex-
press my personal opinion as to whether
the full benefit of a mass could be trans
mitted to an invalid or anyone else abso
lutely prevented from attending church.
I am here to preach the word of God and
administer the rites of the Roman Cath
olic church according to its regulations.
It holds distinctly that in order to receive
mass the attendant must be in sight of
the church or within sound of its bell.
That is all I wish to say.
PRACTICABILITY OF THE PLAN.
At the office of the Metropolitan Tele
phone and Telegraph Company in New
York it was said that the telephone had
never been introduced into any churches
in this country for the purpose of trans
mitting sermons or church music. That
it could be utilized for that purpose there
was little or no doubt. Just how many
parishioners could be connected with
their favorite house of worship could not
be told,.as no experiments in the matter
had ever been made.
It would be necessary, the officers said,
to connect tho pulpit with a main wire to
a point some distance off. where the vol
ume of sound would be distributed on di
verging wires to the various subscribers.
Conditions would vary tho num
ber of subscribers that could bo
supplied from this wire, but tho maxi
mum would hardly, so far as now known,
be over twenty. It would be feasible,
however, to connect the receiver with
more than one main line. Each would re
ceive nearly the full volume of sound and
transmit it to tho point of destination,
where again the sound in nearly equal
force would go to the worshipers. Music
had often been transmitted by telephone,
it is said, to distant points, as the public
were aware, but the transmitting of
sound through the telephone from one
speaker to a number of different hearers
had not been fully developed. So far as
the company was concerned they could
see no objection to the introduction of the
telephone in transmitting religious ser
vices. '
POLITICAL HOBGOBLINS
Discovery by Calamity Orators Like
the Maid in “Dombey and Son.”
From the Baltimore Sun.
“My goodness gracious me, Miss Floy;
you naughty, sinful child. If you don’t
shut your this minute I’ll call in
them hobgoblins that lives in the cock
loft to come and eat you up alive!’’ Here
Miss Nipper made a horrible lowing, sup
posed to issue from a conscientious goblin
of the bull species.
Many of our public speakers and
writers, like the estimable Susan, keep a
stock of hobgoblins in tho eock loft, and
appeal to them with dismal groans or ap
pealing beliowings to terrify a childlike
public. A few of these goblins aro as fol
lows :
The Capitalist.—Understood to be a
hideous, one-eyed ogre, living in an en
chanted castle, round whicli lie the skulls
and bones of his victims. He rushes out
upon unsuspecting passers by, drags them
into his den and devours them.
The Mortgagee.—A gigantic and bloated
spider, whose web extends everywhere,
but chiefly over the agricultural dis
tricts.
Banks and Bankers. —Organized gangs
of capitalists and mortgagees who grow
ricli by impoverishing the rest of their
fellow citizens; by some diabolical de
vice or enchantment not understood they
can draw men against their will into
their dens, make them sign notes, give
mortgages and other securities, and then
destroy their victims.
The Ground, Rent Owner.—A peculiarly
malignant form of capitalist, who differs
from the ordinary money lender in hav
ing no money to lend, having already
lent it at low rates on the security of
land. This nefarious practice is called
“locking it up.”
The Gold Bug.—An enemy of the human
race who pretends to believe that a single
standard of currency is more stable and
better than a double one. If he owned ;
gold mines Ins object would be open and '
honorable: but as he does not, his real pur
pose must be to destro/ the prosperity of
the country.
John Bult. —A virulent pirate and mis
anthrope who enriches himself by deal- |
incs with the rest of the world and is '
constantly scheming to ini]x>verish and
ruin his customers.
The Credit Class. A genusof monsters, i
supposed, to be a cross between the tiger j
and horse leech, and altogether distinct ,
from the debtor class, who aro their nat- 1
ural piv.y
The Debtor Class. This is not a goblin, ;
but quite the contrary. It is all tin-h<m-j

mysterious dispensation of Providence, .
and without any will of their own. find

IN THE SUPERIOR COURT.
Petition For a New Trustee of the Es
tate of?. B. Pendergast.
A petition w; s filed in tho superior
court yesterday, by Margaret A. Verdier,
Martha P. Verdier and others, asking tho
appoint meat of anew trustee by t iie
court for the trust estate of P. B Pen
dergnst. F. H. Verdier, the husband of
Mrs. Margaret A. Verdier, who was ap
pointed trustee by the court in the place
of G. S. Gray, died on Jan. 24. is: 12, and
the estate has since been without a
trustee.
The petitioners asked that Mr. Jno.
C. Rowland be appointed trustee of the
estate, and also that he be granted power
to sell certain property belonging to the
estate, namely, one ¥s<X> and two M.IXXI
city bonds, for the maintenance and sup
port of Mrs. Verdier, and the education of
her children.
Judge Falligant considered the petition
and granted an order appointing Mr.
Rowland trustee as asked, ami gave leave
to sell the property mentioned in -tho pe
tition.
Messrs. Seabrook, Morgan A Way also
gave notice, in writing, that they would
dismiss tho bill of W. F. Rendant and
others vs. P. H. Welter's Browing Com
pany. which was put info the hands of a
receiver last Saturday. It seems that
matters have been satisfactorily arranged
without a continuance of the receiver
ship. as was stated by Mr. Morgan on
Sunday, and they have decided to dismiss
the bill. The bill, however, has not yet
been legally dismissed. It is still on the
dockets of the court, and can not be dis
missed until an order has been taken
from the judge. Until that is done the
receiver will still have control.
ALONG THE RIVER FRONT.
Items Gathered Here and There
Among the Shipping.
The Merchants and Miners’ Transpor
tation Company’s steamer William Crane,
(.’apt. Foster, has been put on the line be
tween Baltimore and Savannah again,
. and sailed from Baltimore Saturday for
this port. She is expected to arrive this
morning. The steamship William Law
rence, Capt. Kirwan, has been transferred
to the line between Baltimore and
Newport News.
The British steamship Incharren,
which left Savannah on Thursday with a
cargo of cotton for Bremen, and got
aground near the quarantine station, is
expected, to get off this morning. About
1 ,(HX) bales of cotton were discharged on
lighters yesterday, so as to allow her to.
get into deep Water. The crowded condi
tion of the channel was tho cause of the
accident. The large numbor of vessels
thore take up nearly all the room in the
stream.
The Merritt Wrecking Company’s tug,
I. J. Merritt, arrived yesterday to tow
the bark Havana to New York. The
Havana is at quarantine, where she was
taken by the steamer Edenmoro, who
towed her from sea, where she was in a
distressed apd crippled condition. Tho
bark is loaded witli sugar, and bound
from Havana to New York. The tug,
Merritt coaled up yesterday at Taggarts’
coal yard. Part of the vessel’s cargo will
be taken on board of tho tug, in order to
trim her for sea. They will probably go
to sea to-day.
The British steamship Edenmore, which
went aground opposite the quarantine
station, several days ago, was pulled off
by the tugs Forest City and Paulsen, and
proceeded on her voyage Sunday to
Hamburg, where sho is bound witli a
cargo of cotton from Galveston. Sho
came into Tybce roads, towing the dis
abled bark Havana, before mentioned in
the Morning News.
The snagboat Toccoa, which has been
engaged in taking snags from the Oconee
river, was ordered here by Capt. O. M.
Carter. JShe * 1
The schooner Island City, Capt. Voor
hees, cleared yesterday, with 297,035 feet
of lumber, for Baltimore. The cargo was
shipped by Dale, Dixon & Cos.
Tho British steamship Slingsby was
cleared yesterday, for Bremen, with
9.007 bales of cotton, weighing 4,750,864
pounds, and valued at ¥871,717.
The schooner Fannie Rcieho, Capt.
Buckaloo, was cleared yesterday for
Washington, D. C., by George UarriasW
Cos., with 837,417 foot of pitch pine lum
ber, shipped by the Atlanta Lumber Com
pany, of Atlanta.
The Norwegian ship Telcfon
was cleared yesterday for Rot
terdam, with 5,000 barrels of rosin,
valued at ¥9.893, and 2,075 casks of spirits
of turpentine, valued at ¥38,238. The
total valuation of the cargo is ¥38,120. and
is shipped by, Paterson, Downing A, Cos.
The British steamship Highiield was
cleared yesterday for London, with 0,378
hales upland cotton, valued at ¥243,842,
779 bales sea island cotton, valued at ¥09,-
B<X) and 4,200 white oak staves, valued at,
¥420. The total valuation of the cargo
was ¥314,062.
The Norwegian bark Ore is loaded with
3,724 barrels of rosin,'valued at ¥19,750.88,
to be shipped to Goole, Englaud, by Mur
chison & Cos.
The steamship Gate City, Capt. Goo
gins arrived yesterday, about six hours
overdue, from Boston. She encountered
heavy weather last Sunday, when off
Cape Hatteras, but the staunch ship
weathered the gale, and the captain did
not find it necessary to put to sea for
safety. Although tho wind was blowing
at a fearful rato and the sea rnnning
high, the steamer was detained but lit
tle on her voyage.
The schooner Martie A. Holmes, which
sailed from this port for Baltimore, four
days before the storm of Oct. 12, was
wrecked at sea. She was seen last Sun
day about forty miles east of Martin's In
dustry Lightship, by the steamship
Kirkby, which arrived at Tybee last Sun
day night. Tho vessel is waterlogged and
abandoned. Her mainmast, gibboom and
bowsprit are gone, and sho w r as tossing
upon tho waves of the ocean, with no one
on board Nothing has been beard of the
crew, but they were probably taken off
by some vessel.
An Indignant Judge.
From the. Outawa (Canada) Journal.
Judge Falconhridge is one who does
not conceal his disgust at the action of
the people who go to law over trifles.
While the case of Lackio vs. Lount was
being .tried at London (Ontario; assizes
the defendant gave evidence, and the judge
remarked: “Supposethis old lady, who
is 83 years of age. was asking what you
considered a little too much, don't you
think it would have been just as well to
have given it to her! It was only the use
of a couple of acres of land at best for a
short time.” To this the defendant did
not vouchsafe any intelligent reply. A
little further on in his evidence it was
shown that a settlement had not been
made because he would not agree to what
would practically amount to about $1.25
per annum. On this corn lifting out, his
lordship said very emphatically: “Then
it api wars that this suit has been brought
in the high court of justice over a dispute
which amounts to about $1.85 per year,
the cost of which will lie at least SIOO to
each side. It is shameful! shameful!”

Novelties in Goipets i Bogus in Novelty Cogs.
If you want Ihc best, you must buy it where only the best is sold. And you know the
best is the cheapest. Shall wo touch cost? No! Quality comes first; it has the floor—
and we Carpet the floor. What will we Carpet it with?
Moquettes in myriads of new styles, designs and coiorings; Wiltons without number
and in a wonderful variety of novel patterns; Axminsters as soft and subdued as violets in
the setting sun: Velvets as chaste and lovely and enticing as Cupids in a Congress of Love;
Body Brussels. Tapestry Brussels and Ingrains—the best in either hemisphere; Rugs and
Art Squares, Linoleums and Oilcloths in such abundance that you’ll wonder, first, where
they came from, and next, where they go to.
Just now the going is easy. And why wouldn't if be? Five failures a day of Importers,
and the Carpet men are not in the roar! Who gains? You do! You who have homes to
Carpet and make cosy, come in now, if you are thrifty, on the ground floor ot low cos! and
high quality!
But you must come into headquarters to go out with a guarantee that what you got is
good. That’s everything! A really fine Carpet on your Parlor floor is a passport to social
admiration.
And why not? Good taste indicates good breeding—and we all love to be well bred.
Our aim and object has been for many years to combine quality and cheapness to
gether—so that the quality doesn’t know where it ends when cheapness begins.
Perhaps the best thing you can do is to relieve us ot the task ol writing an essay on
beauty and taste by visiting our Carpet Store, tho only first-class store in all this city, and
see and admire and enjoy what seems undermost, but is actually paramount to home pride,
home excellence and home comfort.
None but ourselves worth visiting for fine Carpets.
