Mr. White, of the Rockdale Novelty
Works, has been putting in a fan, sim-
ilar to an electric tan, into W. A. Gen-
try’s barber shop. The difficulty is,
an electric fan can only be run in Rock- j
dale at night, and a barber needs the
fan in day time, as well as night, hence
Mr. White’s ellorl to put in a oue-man
power fan. At the present writing the
machine is not a howling success, but
Mr. While will doubtless succeed.
Those'wbo know hint best, say that
if Admiral Dewey was allowed to an-
swer'the popular question, “what shall
we do for Dewey?” his reply, wotthl be
