W. c. T. U. LUNCH STAND.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ELWOOD Ind, May 2l.-In a letter con-
corning the success of the lunch and re-
freshment stand established by the w. c. T.
U. at the Union steel works at Alexandria
In opposition to saloon influence. Mrs. Retta
Jones, the president of the Alexandria w.
c. T. u, says:
THE lunch stand is a decided success.
The Union Steel Company will not allow
their employees TO drink intoxicants and are
willing to do all in their power to help their
men keep sober. So when We sent our com,
mittee 10 seq them they Immediately offered
to prepare a room for inside their gates.
We at first thought TO serve only tea, coffee
and lemonade, but the men seemed to re-
quire something more, and We added soup.
sandwiches. beefsteak, pork chops and eggs
to our bill of fare, and as a result We have
several regular boarders. Men who have no
family In Alexandria are rooming at other
places and taking their meals with US, for
they say they can live cheaper We can
sell bowl of good soup, crackers. cup of
coffee with cream and sugar, all for cents.
and that Is surely within the reach of any
workingman. Many men who used TO carry
lunches with them have stopped doing so.
They say their wives cannot put up lunch
50 cheap as we sell them The place Is
kept open day and night. and some days the
trade Is not so good as 1t is at night. To
give some idea OF the progress we are max.
ing. l can tell you that a month ago, when
we started. the soup for one day could be
MADE In enr sw tu sa ra
Ions of soup in the twenty-four hours, and
our meat. lard and grocery bills are about
81 per day. So, you see, we are progressing.
We have met with no obstacles as yet, in
fact, we are surprised to find SO many on our
side. AS to how we influenced the men TO
patronize our stand, we did so by making
our food and drink as good as possible. and
treating the men as courteously as possible.
Perhaps we should not be so well patron
zsd II those In crit had mot set such
was purchased by Mr. Albert Trusler. who
Is the general manager. / think many men
go to the saloon simply because they have
no other place to go. We are taking charge
of the lunch stand in the daytime. and hope
to be able very soon to hire some one for
the day, the same as we have for the night.
Too much credit cannot be given TO Messrs
Trusler for their kindness in providing US a
room and gas, for which We pay nothing,
and also to Mr.. Aiken, the treasurer, who
examines and cashes all our orders"
The w. c. T. u. chapter in this city will
likely arrange to establish one or more of
these lunch stands in short time in an
effort to counterfeit saloon influence, as the
Alexandria women have made decided
success.

EXPRESSIVE COUNTENANCE.
Speaker Reed Now Wears q Look Of
Lofty Cynicism.
Washington Special.

The expression Of scorn that has settled
upon the countenance OF Speaker Reed is a
marvel In the way Of facial manifestation or
inward emotion. The sacrifice of his nous
tache at the beginning OF the session seems
now as If IL might have been a preparation
for the development Of that expression. All
that might hide II or detract from IL is clean
shaved away. There is no interruption or
the development or play OF the expression.
Some prophetic impulse must have suggested
the shaving. The facial expressions OF Mr..
Reed have always been study. They are
so marked and so changeable that none or
his pictures look exactly like him, but this
expression Is more fixed and emphatic than
anything that has before developed.
During his famous reign as Car the ex-
preston which so irritated the Democrats.
and which they still have pictured In their
minds. was quizzical and taunting. IL asked
them constantly what they were going 70 do
about IL, and at the same time warned them
that they could do nothing. There was an
element Of meanness in It, II gave place
now and then to one Of thorough enjoyment
which was almost jocular. The expression
which fixes the attention of the House now
Is utterly different. 1t represents the ideal
of lofty scorn There Is q consciousness or
superiority about II which looks down upon
small men and small things. II denotes the
cynic philosopher under a disappointment.
The relations between Reed and the House
are very different from what they were dur
ing his first reign. AS he sees his power TO
control at will slipping away from him, his
cynical contempt for everything and every
body grows more strongly evidenced on Ms
countenance and IN his manner.
