ANOTHER QUIET SUNDAY.
A Basement Bar Room Discovered. but
the Proprietor Not Caught Mapping.

Yesterday was a quiet day for the sa-
looms. There were a few open in the morn
ing, but they closed before the day was
far advanced. j. j. Rowler's saloon at
Mississippi and Washington streets was the
only one that had the appearance of doing
business. With a crowd going and coming
all the time. 1t was apparent that busi-
ness was large. The front and side blinds
were down, and this afforded a clear view
of the saloon, which showed there was no
one in it. Captain Quigley. dressed in clti-
zen's clothes, followed a crowd of men
through the rear gate and down the rear
stairway into the basement. However,, at
the door leading into the basement he had
quite a struggle before he succeeded in
getting in. The basement was fitted up as a
bar room. Although the room was crowded
Captain Quigley saw no evidence that
LIQUOR had been sold. The bar was per-
fectly dry and there were no visible re-
Gently drained glasses. He remained there
some time. but there was no effort TO sell.
officers were stationed around the saloon
last night and the basement trade ceased.
Superintendent Powell will investigate, and
if evidence showing that Rowler did bust
ness yesterday can be secured steps will
be taken to revoke his license.

CAREY SMITH ON HUMAN RIGHTS"
An Address on that Subject Under the
Central Labor Unions Auspices.

Human Rights was the subject OF an
address by Carey Smith at Mansur Hall
yesterday afternoon. the meeting being held
under the auspices Of Central Labor Union
The human rights discussed had especial
reference to the rights Of the laborer in
the broadcast meaning of the word. The
speaker based his idea Of the rights of
man upon the recognition of them in the
Scriptures, and prefaced his address by
calling attention to the punishments which,
I'm a number of cases, had followed an
abuse or attempt to trample upon these
rights. He expressed the belief that the
original theory that this was a government
of the people now remained merely a the
DRY. He said the conditions are agitating
the masses to a determination to secure
their rights, but hoped this could be &C
complished without violence or reasonable
language. Injustice has generally punished
itself and tyrants have been their own de-
strOyerS. Americans are raised to the
standard Of daring to trust justice, which
means 10 trust the people. Within man
there is a spirit created by eternal equity
to recoil at injustice. The lesson OF the
hour is insurrection-not insurrection of
arms. but insurrection of thought. The
rights OF man are the rights of all man.
kind, and. therefore, include the just claims
of the rich. The speaker then entered into
an economic discussion, laying down as the
important principles TO be considered the
production of wealth and Its distribution
In concluding he said the ballot was the
only method Of relief, and appealing to
Congress but made the appellants a laugh
Ing stock. At the conclusion of the address
Eorhis and Johnson took part in the five
minute discussion.
