Long Glasses or Beer Driving Whisky
b Out of BusineSs-A Saloon Keeper who

How many stovepipes of lager beer do
you sell in II day?" asked REPUBLIcAN
reporter yesterday afternoon, addressing the
proprietor of one of tho most prosperous
'stovepipe" saloons on the avenue
Between 1000 and l, ,500," was the prompt
reply; and every glass contains nearly pint
OF beer"
The conversation wa interrupted at this
point by the entrance O flock of customers.
The ilock comprised two colored men, threo
merchants, pair of mechanics, and shaky
looking citizen in faded clothing, who
looked as though he would certainly die in
three minutes unless he was served quickly
with drink. All of the flock ordered stove
pipes of beer except tho shaky individual.
Three fingers Of whisky was better to him
than two gallons of beer. He drained his
potion in nervous manner, and tho German
stovepipe man resumed
I'VE sell fifty stovepipes to ono whisky.
Only old stills come here for whisky. They
think because we sell big glass of boor for s
cents that they can take n big drink o { whisky
for 10 cents. Our beer customers comprise ali
classes, from merchants to laborers. We run
out twenty kegs day and | feel that am

glasses are more acceptable to moderate

Washington Talent Proves All the New

James Kelly, tho champion light weight of
Now York city, and Allen Crown, a well-
known colored boxer of this city, fought
three rounds on the Theatre Comique stage
last night. The fight was to have been be-
tween Kelly and George Phillips, but
Phillips backed out at the last moment.
Allen Crown amply compensated tho
audience for Phillips's non-appearanco by
giving Kolly "all he wanted to do" in the
first two rounds. After tho second round
Kelly "won in cantor" owing to tho
fragrant interference of tho referee, Barney
Aaron, and jerry, Murphy, Keliy's
Kelly to tho disgust of tho lockers on of
"the scrap" After the match Mr.. Murphy
stepped to the side scenes and kindly volun-
teered to whip any man who had objected TO
him giving his partner pointers. Nobody
accented the fistic offer, however.
Crown opened the first round by getting in
several stingers on Kolly's face. Kelly re-
sponded with a sumner on Crowns nose,
scoring the first blood. Tho colored man
then struck Kelly several taps in rapid
succession. Kelly retorted with two heavy

neither man winner.
Kelly opened tho second round by giving
Crown heavy left hand body blow, with no
return. After some sparring Kolly planted
solid one on Crowns forehead, and the latter
replied with three virorous face blows, which
surprised the New Yotk champion. Crown
showed his ability as a dodger In this round
by oxpertly excaping several terrific right
and left handers, and camo up smiling
each time. One Of Kelly's right
handors was 80 vicious that it would
had put Crown "to sleep" had he received its

chance but he missed it. Kelly regained
knocked Crown on his back. A minute OF
close fighting followed. Time was called and
both men went to their corners
The third round was short and sweet,
Kelly getting in q number of heavy hits and
plenty of encouragement from those around
him. Crown, although receiving no eucour-
agemept, frightened up and put in a sumner
on Kelly's nose drawing blood and dazing
the New Yorker. Kelly got onto" Crowns
lodging as this time, and fired several ter
rible "under cuts' (as Murphy and Aaron
styled them) at the colored man, who weak
ened, more on account of tho chinning than
Kelly's fighting powers, and gave up tho
fight.
Kelly then came to the front "blowing like
a porpoise," and said that Crown was a good
man. He also offered to fight the best man
in town Saturday night.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,
THE SUNDAY QUESTION.
To He Editor.

Now that we have an organ, the Agitdtor,
and an organization, the National Protective
league, whose aim appears to be the pulling
down of the bars and letting loose those
wild beasts which good men in all ages have
Thought best to confine, it is important that
the real aim and true effect of the policy, MS
set forth in the platform and by tho advo-
Gates of tho National Protective league at
Lincoln hall on the 10Th of April last, be
divested of its fallacies that the youth OF our
land be prevented from stepping on its rotten
planks and plunging to wretchedness and
ruin,
For much Of our Sabbath desecration min
listers and members Of Christian churches are
responsible, and If our ministers will not cry
out against this great evil and ii the religious
papers do not, then laymen must resort to
the secular papers to warn the people of tho
danger of popularizing the principles OF the
National Protective league.
1t is q well-known fact that the countries
most opposed to tho Puritan Sabbath
Germany and Italy--have literally spewed out
these very people who are now trying to
abolish the Sabbath in the United States, and
although they may try to thrust these
principles upon us we are not unmindful Of
the teachings Of tine past.
Tho reign of terror in France under the
leadership of personal liberty" advocates
evidenced its insuflciency in politics, and not
until true Christianity came to its help was
representative form of government possible
Let not our friends be drawn into this
whirlpool by tho deceitful sophistry of its
| adheronts; do we, do they not know that
Sabbath amusements and Sabbath toll are in
| separable. That the Unsuitable "lust' of the
world' will grow by what IL feeds on, and
over cry, give" give" until it gots every
thing. The Sabbath spirit will die out. The
thoughts Of higher and better life perish
from the minds of men, absorbed, harrassed,
fatiguod by tho ceaseloss pursuits of toll and
qualification of appetite.
What this atmosphere breeds wo all know.
The bittor sense of wrong and weariness of
| existence will burn and burn until it is
quenchod only in tho blood of those who up
hold or permit such a state of things. Again
we say, Don't unchain the tiger" TITUS.

well-known and highly-approved medic
inal roots, leaves, and tinctures in guam

Bitters the active medicinal properties,
