A NEW DRINK
Sprung Upon the Public for the
Church Saloons.

s.
Chicago Tribune.
A new drink, wonderful in con-
caction and mysterious in its chem
zeal analysis, is about to be sprung
upon the public by Bishop Fallows,
OF the Reformed Episcopal church.
The bishop is one of the most en-
thusiastic and iresourceful of the
workers who have founded and
maintained the Peoples institute.
In connection with his proposed en-
iargement of the scope of the insti-
utei work Bishop Fallows recently
outlined in the Tribune his plans
Tor establishing a series of 'home
saloons" and the following day the
saloonkeepers of Chicago told the
tribune what they thought of the
innovation. The plans have been
worked out in detail, and the first
TWO OF the saloons are promised to
De established within a fortnight.
There has been a slight departure
from the original plans, and instead

the same class there will be as many
degrees of variation as in the orig

ones to be established as an expert

heart OF the downtown district. One

eiaoorateness of the free lunch.

After much discussion of details
we have determined to open the sa-
