COST OF LIVING IS INCREASING Matter of Fllteen Cents per Scrape Is Being Agitated. For some days past the matter of establishing the price of a shave at fifteen cents has occupied the minds of some of the tonsorial fraternity. Therefore a representative of this paper called upon a number of the workmen of the city, both propri etors and others, and also engaged with the patrons to some extent re garding their feelings in the matter. At the first shop visited we found a number of people in, and all ex pressed themselves favorably. The proprietor said that when he was first married a few years ago, he was able to buy eggs at three dozen for a I quarter and butter at fifteen Now the butter costs thirty cents, cents cents. an i the eggs arc thirty-five he has!"1"' 111 v"'w '"creased cost of everything, the barbers needed the increase. The artist at the fourth shop said that he had given the matter very little thought, but he knew that "two years since when I la gan the business here for myself 1 bouidit a broom for twenty cents, and the other day I had tfi pay forty for the same article." At the fifth shop visited, the pro prietor said: "On the subject I have nothing to say. I charged fifteen ,('nts f"r liavi! X for some six months ami i ne remainder oi tne unite in the city did not think enough of the matter to do anything, therefore I shall have nothing to say untill nil the rest have (expressed themselves and are sure what they want, then I will tell you what I think about it." The next place the . workmen were partners, and the first to speak said: "I think for my part that we should have fifteen cents, ami if the remain der are th. i ..n.' n;.';iio:i, I think we should charge it. " iiis partner said: "The price of fifteen cents is surely low enough, but I do not think the trade will stand for it.

The last one to be interviewed, said: "I do not think it right. It is true we should have more for our work, but the fact is, the people upon whom we depend for a living are the men who work in the shops, and they do not get enough now to make a decent living themselves with the prices of other things as high as they are, and I would not have the heart to increase their burdens. I would not object to charging the others fifteen cents, but the man who works foi a living as do the shop men, ' fifteen ecu; i too much."

Failing health, caused by a com plaint from which he had hgn a pa tient sufferer for years, necessitated his removal to the Immanuel hospital in November, l'JON, where he remained for a period of fourteen weeks. The operation and treatment at this time brought a great measure of relief to him, and until the past month he has enjoyed comparative health, moving about among his friends, neighbors and business associates with the same kind spirit as formerly. About two weeks ago he sustained a fall, anil this together with the ef fects of a cold contracted, necessitated his removal to the hospital for treat ment on Dec. !)th. His weakened con dition would not permit of a second operation, and he gradually failed until death relieved him at 7 o'clock Monday morning, Dec. -Oth. His family had spent the day on Sunday with him, ami his wife was Jat his bedside at the time of his death. The funeral will be held Wednesday morning. Dec. at s :.'!((, from his ;late residence.
