lifE EARLY DAY BASBERS The Customers, Shaving Outfits and Prices of Half a Century Ago. Some of the Old Places in St. Louli Which Will be Recalled by Montanians. Nspeasire Cups, Brightly Lettered, Are of Recent Date-A Common Cup Was the Thlng. A gentleman of so loquacious a reputa tion as the barber should abound in more tales reminiscent than any other, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The barber, however, is a curious personage. le is not so much reminiscent as he is of to-day. HMe can talk off hand on politics, commerce, base ball and racing, and-always remem her-the weather, but carry him back a quarter or half a century and he is very like other individuals. Matters of to-day are a part of his stock in trade. He must be up in them, while the details of history he may forget to such an extent that he re cahlls them only after extensive rumination. The searching of his memory, however, is interesting, andt will pay the oarious. There are in St, Louis a number of old barbers and old shops, and their recital of matters relating to their old-time business and old time customers is somewhat absorbing. Of the old shops, there are but three which can now be said to be in existence. Others in which was recited a great many of the details of the early history of Mis souri and the west are remembered only by the "old inhabitants." The I places which have passed out of being are more numerous. There was the shop un der the old Missouri hotel, on Main and Morgan streets, a location which would be as little thought of to-day as a hotel site as Plum street and the Levee. There the state of Missouri was organized and the constitution agreed upon. T'he shop at this place was owned by Capt. King, an old steamboatitan. Another old place was at t King's hotel, on Second and Vine streets, t the shop in which was operated by Capt. King, who had moved from the Missouri, being succeeded at the latter place by Alex. a Smith. Still another shop was at the Vir- b ginia hotel, on Christy, Main and Second, e presided over by J. HI. Gerhard, and in which ex-Congressman W. H. Stone shaved. ti This was in 184ti, and Mr. Gerhard is now n proprietor of the Planters' house shop, to n which Mr. Stone has transferred his cup. The Motel Barnum furnished patronage for t another old shop, ran by Frank Robinson. All of these places are now anknown save 4. rLU ·-·mrl-s ýhl 1;-1 kh r -A --11a to the people who lived then and to-day. The oldest shop now is that under the Planters' house, owned by Mr. Gerhard. Next in line comes what is known as Clay morgan's, on Pine, just west of Fourth street, and next to that, Etteling's, in the :Lsalede building, on Fourth and Olive streets. The Planters' house one was e* etablished in 1842, and the Claymorgan one ten years later. The Etteling shop grew out of the Claymorgan, being established by Robert Wilkinson, who had dissolved partnership with Claymorgan, and who em ployed George E tteling, the present owner, as foreman. Of the barbers, one of the 'oldest is Proprietor Smith, of the present iouthern hotel shop, and Capt. Miller, em ,pleyed at journey work in the old Clasmor gan shop. There have been several changes F'a the time of each of these places. 'I e i..lantors' house shop was started by a man named Hall, who was sacoseded by Benjamin Hickman. The latter had it for thirteen years, when he wa succeeded by the present proprietor, Mr. Gerhard, who has now had it but two years short of a quarter of a century. The 'Olaynorgan place, as stated, was started in ',1852, though it is supposed by many to be ,tbe oldest shop in the city. Then came the 4lssolution of the firm of Claymorgan & Wilkinson, the senior of the firm then own ing the shop until the time of his death, which occurred in 1883. He was succeeded by Joseph P. ltoeser and N. B. Reynolds. The former has been dead now three years, the latter becoming proprietor. At the i@ttelhng the only change has been from Wilkinson, the proprietor, to Etteling, the 'foreman, and the tearing away of the little old frame shop and the erection of a mag nificent bank and office building. In those old days men who have since be 'Some prominent and wealthy were the chief ,patrons, but their shaving outilts seen to day do not begin to compare to the one used by the $10a-week clerk of to-day. Expensive cups, brightly lettered, were then 'unknown. 'Ite cup was common ware. . osting l5c., the brush was 25c, and the sponge in the neighborhood of 50c. A very respectable outfit could be had at a dollar at the outside. How different now! If von want anything at all that you will not be ashamed to have the barber pull down, you 'must ray at least l$2 for it, and $5 is not at all out of the way. From that you can go to whatever your fancy suggests and your pocket-book allows. In the time of the shops of the period of the Planter's house the mug was an ordinary white ware cup, and its ownership was designated aRm ply by a piece of white paper pasted on the cup or on the receptacle in the rack. It was not until about twenty-five years axo that the names were put on in anything more lnaetng than paper. '1llen glase labels were stuck on the white or china ware, and among the cups of this period seen on the shelves now are those of hM. J. Steinberg, General John W. 'l'urrer. G. B. Morgan, John W. Kaufman, Judge J. I3. Valiant, Governor P. (). Mtanard, Judge W. E. Wagner, E. Michaelis, plain, without letter ing, John E. Holmes, DJr. W. M. Carpenter, Charles Johnson, W. H. Stone, L. J. How ard, 11. ('. I'Upmreyer, Silvester H. Laflin, and iH. I. Whittemore, the latter of whom shaved im the Claymorgan shop the first day it was opened. Since then the barbers estimate .that the old shops have had at least 100 sets of new customers. Prices of shaving were also much lower in those days. and, as now, the shops were graded according to the price, though the second -class ones were not by any means what the second-clans ones were then. For instance the terson who starts out now to look for an old shop naturally goes to the Levee. not knowing that the river man, the traveler, the planter and everybody elhi above the scale of a deck hand, airme up town to get a shave and hair-cut, and Fourth street in those days was pretty well uptown. 'Ihus one of the old-time shops was owned by J. P. 'Flori, located at Cristy (then Green) and Third and Fourthatreets. It was a five cent and six and a quarter cent shop, and yet Mr. Flori en joyed a first-class trade and died leaving an estate of something like $30,000. The price of shaving before the war was 10 cents and 5 cents, the former first and the latter second class. Hair cuts were 25 cents where now they are 35, cents. The only city in the country where the charge was up to the present scale was New Orleans, where you had to pay 15 cents. In Baltimore the uniform price was six and a quarter cents. so made on account of the use of a 'panish coin, the name of which was shortened to "ilp." Here, too, how ever, there was Spanlsh money in a more plentiful supply than American, in denom matrons of 12)," cents and (hi; cents, shaves being given for either, with American money at five cents equal to the Spanish at ,ix and a quarter conts, so far as obtaining the services of a barber were concerned. In the early days of less than hal a dozen of the ft. Louis barbers of to-day the man who guided the razor heard some history. Other people as well as the barber will talk while in the shop, and Mr. Gerhard, of the present Planters', tells of one very interest ing occurrence of this kind. iHe was then proprietor of the shop in the old Liadell, that hotel then being regarded as the fineat in the country. It was just at tho time when Grant was placed in command of' the army and had left the field of action for the East, to rssaume his new position, stop .ing here on otest, n. Bch *ld4 w hen stationed here, was tt ha s of the WUetion v aitAe bry .a, ad was la twn to beoceped here Gen. llceenoa oas. Grant ** thin and worn out, and td and seedy in appearanuce. (Going to the Liadell he called on Barber Gerhard to hate a hair-out and be trimmed up and freahened up generally. He had but little more than got settled in the chair when Goen. Roho oeld came in to see him, and, fining Grant getting a hant-out, oonoluded he would follow asuit. Then came Rosearanuz who, eeing Grant and Schofield having their looke cut off. climbed into a chair, remark ing: "Well, I guess I'll have to keep you company." Thus, in one old shop, were three of the prominent generals of the Union armoy, and all getting a plain, every day, hair-cut. "It is very difficult to recall special inci dents and the characteristics of old custom er, though in those days we met many of the ptomuinent men of the country," said Barber Gerhard, "but thereia one conversa tion I will never forget. Schofield wanted to have a talk with Grant, and Rosecorans wanted to have a talk with Schofield. The result was that they all talked there just as if they were o:dinary business men through with a day's transactions in gro ceries or dry goods. I have always heard it said that Grant was a poor talker. On that day he was evidently completely fagged out, torn and seedy in his attire, and, I understand, awny from the sent of active operations for the first and only time during the war. But talk! Iou can never tell me he was lacking for words. He said everything to the point: more in five minutes titan most men would say in a day. I remember particularly he stoke of a young staff offi cer, recommending him highly to General Schofield, saying ite would go out for an hour to reconnoiter and return with a com plete detailed description of the country, where an older man would have taken a day and iequired assistance, instruments, etc. I do not remember the young officer's name. but if he could have hea d what I did [ think he would almost certainly have had a well-defined case of what we now call I the 'big-head.' " Relies of the barber shops of a quarter to a half a century ago are not by any means plenty. The old mugs, as explained, were I of common ware. with none of the fancy I lettering of to-day, so that few of them - have been saved, and those few have no value. The Claymorgan shop, however, has an historical feature in its bath-tube. They t are of marble, the tirst imported from Italy, brought here, probably, fifty years ago though direct testimony as to the year is not obtainable--by Mr. Claymorgan. They were evidently very handsome then in de sign and workmanshlp, though, having been used continuously ever since, they are moreor less stained now. There is also a difference of opinion as to the cost of the tubs to Mr. Claymorgan. Some of the tes timony is that he paid very high for them. I while there is as good reason to believe that they came over as ballast and were bought t very cheaply, very much as you would go to I a bargain sale to-day. However that may be, they are relics, and to that extent inter eating to almost everybody. d The letter-carriers of Burlington, Is., and the superintendent of the car company have made an agreement whereby by the pay- p ment of $1 per month by each carrier they are privil ged to ride anywhere and at any time on the electric cares.

The stock market opened generally fractionalls. higher than last night's flguree. For a short time Missonri Pacific and Rock Island exhibited special weakno.s. 'the demand, however, soon changed the temper of speculation, and Vander bilts led the upward movement, which lasted throughout the forenoon and placed the most ac tive stocks at large fractions above first prices. The buying'power tl on fell away, a heavy failure in London added its influence to the bear press ure, and prices receded all along tha line, Lake Shore heing one of the weakest, though as a rule the Gould shares led the list. The decline was not checked until the last few minutes, when a feeble rally occurred. The market closed firm, out at near the lowet figures of the day. Governments-J asy. i etroleum--C'locd 55c.
