gut ons made during the inspection trip to
which hu was recently ordered, and for which
he had previously prepared himself by careful

THE COFFEE HOUSE.

The Reasons Which Prevented it Being a
Financial Success and Led to its Closing.
The Temperance Coffee house on east
Third street, which suspended business on
Tuesday last, was on yesterday put into
the hands of P. 7. Kavanagh, who will sell
the lease, fixtures, etc. Last evening a
GLOBE reporter called on Rev. M. N. Gill
bert, rector of Christ church, and the views
of the latter were sought as to the cause
of the failure.
In the first place it may be stated that
DR.. Gilbert has taken an earnest interest
in the Temperance Coffee house since its
start, and ne and the board of lady direc-
tors have been most active in their en-
deavors to make the institution paying
financial as well as social and moral
success.
In speaking of the failure Of the coffee
house DR.. Gilbert said it was to be regret
ted that it did not prove the success hoped
for; the lady managers had devoted great
deal of earnest and conscientious work in
trying to make it succeed, and up to the
first of September it had paid expenses.
Lately the patronage had fallen off,
which he thought was owing partly to the
cold weather and the fact that a good many
railroad men and mechanics had left town,
while the general depression of business
had had something to do with it, Another
reason was the opening of a large
number of cheap eating houses.
Then the managers conducted the place
on eastern prices, while all the articles of
consumption were dearer in st. Paul than
in the large eastern cities. He felt, how
ever, that the affair had not beer a failure,
counteracting to great extent as it had the
influence of the free lunch saloon
counters, and while it may not have res
cued many drunkards, yet it had lessened
the influences leading to drink and the
tendency was elevating and good. At one
time the institution had fed 500 per day
and up to two months ago it had paid.
In speaking of the deficit. he said, that
while he was not prepared to give the ex-
act amount of the shortage, it was large
and would probably have to be made up
by the managers. In this connection he
said that an effort should be made to have
the deficit made up by the public as it was
not fair to compel the ladies who had
given SO much of their time and money,
and who had worked SO generously, island
the loss.
In conclusion DR.. Gilbert expressed re-
greet at the outcome of the enterprise,
which he thought would have continued a
success, If 1t had been able to bridge over
the dull season

without feelings of profound disgust, and
still, we venture to say that not one in a
hundred, who inspected the spor-
tive nymphs in their bath,
or the other indecencies, ex-
expressed any such sentiments. 1t is not
fashionable to censure such things and the
most chaste and modest ladies and gentle
men will not take issue with fashion, or
place themselves in the category of being
unable to appreciate 'sert." And still not
one in hundred who gaze with assumed
delight upon these indecent paintings, could
be induced, under any pretext, to visit a
model artist" show. AS matter of fact,
the class of paintings named are simply
"model artist" shows on canvass, and not
whit better than the living exhibitions
which are tabooed by all decent people,and
suppressed by municipal authorities wher-
ever attempted.
1t is not surprising that artists will pan
der to this senseless fashion. It pays.
The greater the amount of nakedness ex-
hibited on canvass the higher the price the
painting brings. When ladies will refuse
to countenapce indecencies on canvass
and decline to inspect them, and when
gentlemen will refuse TO ray
fabulous or any other sums for such
productions, the artists will very soon dis
cover other studies for their talents.
The Detroit lady has taken q position
which deserves the unanimous endorse
ment of her sex. If this is given, it will
not be long before what now ranks as
Singh art" will rank SO lou in the artistic
world as to be driven from the public
sight and consigned to the dens of iniqui-
ty where the canvass and the frequenters
will be of the same indecent ilk.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2I.-FrankIin B,
Gowen issued a circular announcing his
intention of resigning the presidency of
the Reading railroad at the expiration of
the present term. He recommends George.
De B. Keim, vice president,as his successor.
He takes this step because the company
has now surmounted all the difficulties of
the last four eventful years. Gowen says
the net earnings of the company for
the current fiscal year, ending Novem-
Der both, after providing for all
fixed charges will be equal to seven per
cent. on the preferred, and fully five per
cent. on the common stock of the com
pany. AS these net earnings are pledged
to the payment of outstanding income
mortgage bonds of $2,454,O0O, they must
be retired before dividend can be made
to The shareholders. He entertained no
doubt, however, that the outstanding
income mortgage bonds can be provided
for cut OF the proceeds of che other securi-
ties available for tho purpose and the sur
plus Of the net earnings over the fixed
charges carried to the credit of the divided
fund. In this event, probable, the opinion
Of the stockholderssWiil be taken at the
forthcoming annual meeting, upon the
question of the payment of
dividends, and proper amount
thereof. Should this be done, he will vote
all proxies intru5ted to him, except where
otherwise directed, in favor of dividend
of 81 per cent, being three years arrears
legally due upon the preferred and per
cent. upon common stock, believing that
the same annual dividends of three per
cent. each upon the latter can hereafter be
maintained.
