If W P. filensby keeps his word to tho Brook
lyn Philosophical Assoclntlon tho Kings county
courts wilt Roon havo brought beforo them tho
matter herein recounted regarding his whis
kers. They will bo asked to find out whoso Is
tho responsibility for tho tnklngoff of his wills
kcrs by tho barber whllo ho was asleep, nnd If
It wns tho fault of tho barber how great are
the damages which Mr Slensby may rightfully
demand. Any discussion ot whiskers Is fre
quently regarded as n joke. This Is nojoko.
Mr. Slensby Is nn Inventor nnd a manufac
turer of patent thimbles nt 'M Bcckninn street.
His homo Is a comfortable little frame house nt
till Hold nvenuc. In Wllllnmsbuig. where bo
and his family aro highly regarded. For
twonty years ho has beon n member ot tho
Brooklyn Philosophical Association, which
meets every Sunday In n hall lu Wlllinmsburg
to toad papers and discuss them. Mr. Slensby
has always worn a beard. It wns not an osten
tatious beard, parted In tho middle nnd
brushed outward on either side to catch
tho winds. Neither wns It n narrow.
Frenchified, sharpened Vnndyko affectation.
It was u plain, comely, full-length, dignified
brown beard that added dlgnltvto Mr Blens
by's nppoarnnco nnd weight to his words. Slnco
ho first glow a beard Mr. Slensby has pros
pered and has bocomo stout. 1 ho board has
prevented the Increase In tho fulness of Mr.
Slcnsby's fnco from becoming noticeable.
A. H. Bishop, who hns a barber shop nt'J.I
Rcld avenue, just half n block from Mr.
Slcnsby's. has been his barber lor years. On
Saturday, April 8. Mr. Slensby went to Bishop's
nnd seated himself In tho proprietor's chair.
Tho exact nature ot tlio conversation
that occurred between them can only
bo ascertained when tho fncts become,
tho subject of legal inquiry. Mr. Slens
by snjs that ho Bald, simply, "vvhlskcis
trimmed." and that then, his mind being fully
occuplod with the subject of the paper he was
to discuss nt tho Philosophical Association
mooting tho noxt day, he leaned back in tlm
chair and dozed. Ho Is very positive that ho
said nothing moro than that. Mr. Bishop says
that ho Is just ns positive that when ho saw Mr.
Slensby falling nslnep ho iu-kcrt:
"Why don't you let mo take 'em off?"
It seems from the statement of both tho bar
ber and his customer Hint the barber has long
held the belief that Mr. Slensby would look
better without his whiskers, Mr Slensby had
nlvvavs Ignored the barber's suggestions. Hut
ou this occasion, according to Mr Bishop. Mr.
Slensby uttered sounds which the barber un
derstood to be:
"All right! Go ahead. Don't bother mc,"
and straightway foil Into a deep slumber.
There are plenty of cases in the experience of
every court nnd household vvhero a man half
nslecp has. lu order to gain pence for Imme
diate slumber said things, granted permis
sion", even nsslgncd propertv. when believer
would have done bo had ho been wide uvvakn
am! In full possession of all his tncul
tUs. People In Mr. Slcnsby's neighbor
hood yesterday were of opinion that
the question ns to whether tho barber's
7enlous deslrn to take off the whiikers
did not euusehlm to be less considerate nl Mr.
Slcnsby's state ot mind than he should have
been was n vory nice ono. Tony, tho Italian
barber across tho way. who cuts hair "nrtistl
cally for 13 cents" and shaves for 10 cents, said
most decided!; that before acting upon n per
mission extorted from Mr. Slensby vvh.it half
asleep Mr. Bishop should have waked lilb cus
tomer up.
"I never dono no customer of mlnono such
n trick Ilka that." said Tony, glaring around
among his assistants and customers as though
ho dared them tocoutradlot him.
Be that ns It mav. whou Mr. Slensby woko
up he saw In tho mirror a face that wns alto
gether unfamiliar to him. His llrst thought,
he said, was to upbraid tho barber for putting
bitn out of the chair and putting another man
In his place while he was asleep. The utter
absurdity of this idea came to him at once,
and ho then concluded that somo queer ar
rangement of the mirrors had brought the
face of a stranger before him Instead of his
own Then, as ho saw bis own necktie nud
scarfpln under the unfamiliar features, tho
truth earno over him. His whiskers were
gonol
Ho rose up and tore the towels nnd calico
drapery from about bis neck. He was angry,
and ho said angry things. A good-tempered
man. mild and conciliatory of speech ordi
narily, ho roo to liolghtR of Impassioned de
nunciation, ot wlilch, he says, lie had never
thought himself capable. Ho told the barber
what ho thought about tho barber shop. Itspro
prletor.the proprietor's fnmily.hls nncestors.lus
early education, his qualifications for citizen
ship, of tho entire trade of harboring In mod
ern and nnclent times and of the inventor of
shenrs and rnzors. When Mr. slensby Paused
in what lio hsd to say tho barber tried to ex
plain that ho thought that Mr. hlensby would
look better without a beard. Mr. r-lensby In
quiroJ with renewed vigor whnt right a bar
ber had to think He had not askod Mr.
Bishop to think, but to trim his whis
kers: he was capnblu of doing his own
thinking. He hurled back In tho barber's
teeth a gentle Intimation thnt the cutting off
or tho whiskers had been fully authorized.
Mr. Bishop thnn said, according to Mr. Slensby.
that perhaps It was his owufnult; perhaps he
had clipped and clipped until tho beard was nil
gone, without a proper appieclatlou of what ho
was doing. This admission, if It was mado ut
all. the barber's friends sny. wns mado as a
means of mollifjlng Mr. Slensbv. and was not
supported by tho fac's. It did not mollify Mr.
Hlensby Ho left tho shop and went homo He
was much angrier when ho went out of the
door thnn when ho first dlscovored tho loss of
his beard.
As he ontered his home Mrs. BleiiBby fled
from him with n scream. Even when he called
nfterherHnd reassured her with his voice tli.it
ho was still himself though beardless, Hhn le
garded him with only slightly disguised aver
sion. Even now. two wcek-R after the event,
eho cannot look him In tho face without show

If Mr. slousby over stayod nwny from tho

stayed away from that Sunday's meeting. Mrs
Slennliv heifucd him not to go. Itwnslmd
enough to have him at home, shn said, but she
could not Pear to havo him go before all those
people w ho thought so well of hlin. fter somo
deliberation Mr Slensby ciinio to tho opinion
that It would bo better for him to go nnd in.iku
some explanation beforo the society oi his
chanced nppeaiiinco thnn to stay away
There were 4HO persons at tho meeting of
the Philosophical Association that Sunday
Yet when Mr. Slensby rose before them few If
uuy ot tho members recognized lilm. Mr.
Slensby knew they would not. nud he told them
who he was. Itwasonlyproper.hu said, that
ho should rnako some explanation of his ap
pearing before them In suchnn uiiumihI aspect
He desired them to understand Hint his changed
appearance was not the ti suit of any trivial
whim ot his own. With some feeling ho told
them the story ot his expcrlcnco lu tho barber
shop,
"I am going to sue that bnrbcr for $1,000
damages, ho said lu conclusion. " nnd 1 shall

The hearty nnd prolonged applauso that fol

Slcnsby's determination. It has not abated
In the meantime Ho was asked bvnSi'.s re
porter Inst night whether he had any idea that
the barber had porpotratcd tho outrage nsu

"If he did." said Mr. Slensby "It will provo
to bo the saddest joke he over heard of. The
tacts lira these1 Ho cut off my whiskers with
out my permission or authority. He disfigured
me. He will have to pa for it."
Mr. Slensby holds that if the barber had
sllcod off Ills oar or bis noso there would bo no
question of his responsibility. Yet tho burlier
can no more (nay. not so much) replace tho
beard than he could a nose or nil eur Mr
Slensby would rather have the whole mutter

Mr. Miller of tho West Sldo Public Improve

Edward Kemp. President of the College of

persons who were not druggists or drug clerks
should mind their own business nnd not inter

them. He said that tho drug clerks did not
