The AVIS
Chgistiansted, St. Ccoix.
Saturday, 8th September 1894.

At the commencement of the year we had
occasion to refer to what we considered Il mis-
fortune for our town, namely the upenint Of
several we ballevs there were FOUR drinking
saloons. We were told at the time that one
or more of the proprietors of these places had
spoken of them as filling a much felt want,
namely by providing places to go to for peo-
pie who would otherwise wande about the
streets and get into mischief. That was not
our view, and, as it has been eur misfortune to
have one of these precious refugees for the
rescue of wanderers opened next door to rs,
we have had ample opportunity of measuring
the moral good which they are calculated to
produce in u hitherto neglected community.
Our reclaimlng neighbour is styled Cafe
PCrforcc, a name which appears III big letters
on its small front. Passers by may won
der what the name can possibly mean
but if they lived where we do they would un-
derstand it well enough. From time to
time they would hear loud and angry words,
followed by a scuff1ing, then by rapid and en-
ratio movements of furniture, and finally,
when it goes so far, ~ the forcible election Of
some rescued wanderer into the street.
Hence the title ''Perforce'. Less than two
weeks ago, we are told, a lamp was upset
during one of these s%cufles, and there was
LANCER or a cOnhagratlon. Inc loss or a
block or two would be rather a heavy price
for the town to pay for the few reformations
which "Perforce" may have accomplished, or,
to put aside satire, we would say that it
would be a terribly heavy price to- pay in order
that the habitu6s of a little drinking saloon
might have what the visitors at Donnybrook
fair would call "a foine toime.' Only
the other day one of the forcibly
elected ones told aloud in the street
what was the nature of the moral lessons
ineulcated inside. He had put his cent down
on the sable, he said, but certain "bwoy''
had put his card down upon it, and had done
the disheneurable thing; but whether the
'bwoy' had refused to give up the cent, or
the winnings on the cent, We could not make
out. However, the elected disciple loudly
declared that they were doing nothing but
gamble in there A passer by observed,
they say it isn't a rum shop, but it is worse
than any rum shop"
And "e are told that such places can be,
and have been, opened without "a license.
If this be true, surely some amendment i'll
the law is needed.

MUTE WITNESSES OF WRECK.
The Cargo of an Unknown Vessel Found
Floating at Sea.

There seems to be very little doubt
that lum ber schooner has been lost
off Seguin, or that the disaster was due
to the bad fogs of late. The fishing
schooner Fannie Hayden came in yester-
day, with mixed catch" of fish and
lumber. Captain Turner reported that
when about five miles south of Seguin
he suddenly found himself sailing
through mass of wreckage, that made
it only too plain what had happened.
Besides the floating lumber, of which
in his opinion there was enough to load
schooner of 100 tons, they picked up
part of the house of some vessel, one
beam and two cabin DOORS Captain
Turner was of the opinion that the un-
fortunate schooner got in the way of
some steamer and was cut in two. The
crew OF the Hayden secured about 1000
feet of the floating lumber, and then
other fishermen and coasters arrived to
claim their part That the schooner
might, have been cut down by passing
steamer was shown by the fact that the
New Brunswick sailed through the
wreckage Sunday morning. Captain
Turner was inclined to think that the
crew OF the ill-fated schooner had no
warning, but were struck by some large
vessel in the fog and wreck ed in an in
stant. The amount of lumber floating
about, to say nothing of the other evil
dences of wreck, was too great to make
it reasonable to suppose that it was only
a deck load. The schooner must have
been cut in two, and her cargo below
decks allowed to escape. AS far as
known, no lumber schooner is missing.
Later reports received have fully sup
ported the opinion of Captain Turner
tn at there had been q wreck
