Home Saloon, at 155 Washington

persons patronized it on the opening

and night and it's promoters have
difficulty handling the crush and
furnishing the drinks, which are be-
coming famous. =,
Bishop Fallows believes men do
not drink beer-that is, the majority

nor for the tipsiness overindulgenee
induces. He maintains that they

sculpturing largo objects, such as col

only to tho gypsum kink, which is
carved into vases, statuettes, boxes
and small ornaments. No preparation
is necessary when carving alabaster.

for two hours, the length of time that

There is nothing to Indicate that
the place is different in character
from the thousands of basement sa-
looms that flourish in Chicago. In
fact, the highly polished brass posts
and ratings leading into the base
ment are in strong imitation of their
alcohol subsidized competitors, and
a stranger going into it and asking
for glass of beer would probably
leave with no suspicion that he had
not had the genuine thing, except
slight popularity in the taste OF the
beverage.
On the left side of the basement as
one enters is the brilliantly lighted
bar, glistening with the usual glass
ware and bottles and decantcrs ex-
actly similar to those used in saloons
and filled with many colored liquids,
all non alcoholics. Behind the bar
are four bartenders, resplendent in
white Jackets, we'll groomed and dex-
ferrous in mixing decoctions and
serving drinks.
On each side OF the back bar is o
portrait Of Miss Frances Willard and
Neal Dow, and about the room in
conspicuous places are placards an
nouncing the different kind OF
drinks.
The beer, or beerette, or Bishops
beer, as it is variously called is, as
explained by the expert German
chemist who makes it, "a pure
extract of malt and hops, and while
there is no alcohol in it any beer
drinker will declare it to be good
drink, and close counterfeit,
without any of the bad effects of
lager beer" . Its exact composition
the chemist says is secret which he
intends to jealously guard, for he
thinks 'there are millions in it.
