CHAPLAIN AND CANTEEN.
Good and Evil Influences Among Sol
diers in Camp Discussed by F.
w. Pearsall Before Metho-
dist Episcopal Ministers.

while the work of each chaplain de-
pended largely on his own ability, the
eagerness with which the gospel was
received was a remarkable feature"
said F. w. Pearsall in addressing the
Methodist ministers on The Chaplain
and the Canteen in the Army" in the
Elm Park church reading rooms yes
terday morning
The second Missouri infantry had
fifteen tents in which family prayers
were held every night. There were
ministers in the ranks who felt that the
many boys in their congregations who
had enlisted needed the presence of
their pastor more than did those who
remained at home. While they entered
as orivates and often remain as pri-
Yates, the value of their service has
been great"
With regard to the canteens Mr..
Pearsall spoke strongly and with great
feeling. He regards them as an un-
mixed evil. The speaker related Incl
dent after incident where close by the
canteen at Chickamauga lay soldiers
dead drunk and often in the same con-
dition but few yards from General
Brookes headquarters. The general
was conscientious in his adherence to
the theory of the benefit of the canteen
to the regiment, but in this he was
quite as mistaken as any man ever was
in an opinion. When a regimental can
teen realizes from SIS to s125 per day,
slight notion of the amount of money
spent by the soldiers for beer may be
gained.
The idea of the canteen is ostensibly
to improve the mess and furnish deli
cacies for the sick in the hospitals. The
argument that fresh vegetables and
good food in general may be purchased
by the beer money is one that catches
many and even one or two cha plains
fell in with it, and also with the theory
that it promoted less drinking. He,
however knew of too many instances
where it had resulted in boys learning
to drink who never knew the taste be-
fore.
With earnestness he then spoke of
the fact that soldiers are assigned to
! act as bartenders, just as they are as
signed to the coveted honor of march
ing guard" and knew of cases where
boys who never before entering service
| had tasted beer, were obliged to sell il
over the counter to their comrades.
A vote of thanks was rendered Mr..
Pearsall, after which Rev. j. NJ. Howell
| read letter from Colonel Coursen di-
rected to Mrs. Howell, of the local Wo-
| mems Christian Temperance union, in
which he spoke of the fact that no cam
teen had been in the Thirteenth, Eighth
or Second Pennsylvania regiments for
| ten weeks.
Rev. William Edgar presided over the
| meeting. 1t was stated that the thanks
| of Mrs. Eckman and Mrs. Davy had
been received for the memorial sent by

RAVINE MINE FIRE.
Flood Has Shut OF Gas and Men Are
Again Fighting Flames.


Considerable progress has been made
in fighting the fire in the Rayine mine,"
says the Pittston Gazette. "On Satur-
day the water with which the lower
workings were being flooded reached
the bore hole that caused the fire and
checked the flow of gas into the upper
vein. Several streams from hose lines
have been playing on the two or three
chambers above, to which the fire is
confined, and the Introduction Of ball
nozzle aids materially by distributing
the water on both sides. owing to the
quantity of black damp and other gases
encountered. more than a small force
of men cannot be engaged at one time
in fighting the flames.
"The water is led into the fire
through two pipes. one four inches in
diameter and the other two inches in
diameter. and an additional line of two
and one-half inch pipe is being laid to-
day from pumps at the Ravine shaft,
through Leonard alley to the opening
at the old Seneca slope, which Is the
opening nearest the fire. Through this
pipe the water from the Ravine mine
will be pumped into the burning cham
ber.
1T cannot be said as yet just how
long 1t will take to extinguish the fire,
but the officials are confident that II
will be but a matter of few days"
