The gospel temperance meeting at
Sweets mansion. last Sunday afternoon
was addressed by J. A. Culver and w. G.

information regarding the increase in
intemperance in the United States. It

city this year than last was cited as
local proof of the increase of drunken
ness J
In accordance with the order of Mayor
Pratt every saloon in Minneapolis was
tightly closed at o'clock last Sunday,
after which hour it was impossible for
the most experienced rounder to get
outside of the succulent-high ball, aro-
matte julfp or insinuating cocktail.
While the order was not to the liking
Of many saloonkeepers, they submitted
to the inevitable as gracefully as; pos
sible, and simply took their medicine,
about the only kickers, in fact, being the
nightbirds. Only one case of non -conl
pliance with the order was reported, and
in this instance the saloonkeeper was
only half hour late in closing. As a
result of the new edict the bar-keepers,
who have been working overtime, were
given night off, and as to the late hahi
tues of Sunday night saloons, they were
afforded an opportunity to renew ac-
quaintances with their families, anyway.
