THE CANTEEN SYSTEM.
Addresses C0nde m ming |, Made by Rev.
Mr.. Miller and Rev. Mr.. Ireland.

At the meeting of the w. G.. n. T..
held at their quarters on Sabin street.
yesterday afternoon. Rev. r. G. Miller.
pastor Of the Hope street NJ. f. church,
delivered a lecture on THE Govern
ment Canteen." and was attentively
followed. Mr. Miller has already given
the lecture I'm this city. and the main
point raised by his argument is that
the United States by its system of can
teens has increased the consumption OF
liquor i'm the regular and volunteer ar
mics.
Mr.. Miller said in the course OF his
talk THE battle between Sampson
and Cervera resulted In victory for the
Americans largely through the fact
that the Spanish sailors were half
drunk while the Americans were per-
fectly free from the influence of liquor.
In the Soudan English soldiers were
forbidden to drink intoxicants. The
reason why so many soldiers died at
Santiago. why so many officers OF the
9th Massachusetts and other regiments
died of disease. was the use of stim-
ulants in the hot Cuban climate"
Rev. Mr.. Ireland. an evangelist, also
spoke. bitterly condemning the can
teen system. He said that he had been
among the soldiers and had ascertained
that the men were almost forced to
drink. He also said; "One time two
thirds of a regiment were so drunk that
marching orders could not be obcyed
and the officers had 10 wait until the
next day before they could start"

He Had That Sum.

SHE SEEKS A DIVORCE.
ALLOWANCE OF IS A WEEK MADE

Counsel in divorce case. which was
before Judge Rogers in the Appellate
Court this morning on a matter OF al
lowance for wife intimated something
about the old story Of men being ever
gay deceivers and the more modern
| phrasing of the same idea i'm the song
| fairy tales. fairy tales.
Mrs. Violet Holt, who was married last
June TO weaver i'm the Riverpoint
mill of the knights by the name of
William II. Holt, is now seeking a di-
Vorce and the case came before the
court today on Mrs. Holts petition for
an allowance FOR her support, counsel
ana witness fees.
Mrs. Holt testified that her husband
was worth $4,000 and that she had seen
his bank book but the most cash she
ever saw credited TO him there was 5000
or $500. Her testimony made Franklin
H. owen, her husbands attorney, smile
very pleasantly and when ne had got
somewhat over his surprise he asked
mrs. Holt whether il was before or af-
ter marriage her husband told her he
was worth $4,000. Her reply was that
tne statement was made before and
atter the marriage ceremony.
she admitted her husband worked az
weaver and that his wages might not
be over SO or 81 week She told Judge
Rogers that since her marriage her
health had been poor and she now re-
CURED the services OF physician and
had to spend money for medicine.
Mr.. Holt did not appear i'm court and
John Palmer counsel for Mrs. Holt.
asked the court for an allowance of S5
or $40 a week for her support and the
usual allowance for counsel and wit
ness fees. Mr.. owen said there was NOT
ghost OF chance OF the story that
Mr.. Holt was worth s25, 900 being true.
but ne supposed the court would make
an allowance
Judge Rogers said he certainly would
ana remarked on the absence OF tho
husband from court. Mr.. Owen said he
told MS client that the court would
make an allowance and he need not
come as nothing was then known nv
counsel about the $4,000 story. Mr..
owen suggested that IL was not prob
aple that man worth the sum named
would work as a weaver for 81 a week
An allowance OF s. a week for Mrs
holt support was made also an allow |
ance or s25 for counsel fees and an al |
lowance of $40 for witness fees.

You know there is SAYING that
there is nothing new under the sun, -
said a member OF the well known firm
or han d Lyon Co. the other day, when
asked about Vinol and how 1t had been
discovered. Everything has existed for
ages. The discovery i'm most cases lies
In mans finding way of getting at
what he wants and separating il from
what he does not want.
The diamond and other precious
stones have been in existence for thou
sands upon thousands of years. Their
beauty was hidden until man discovered
way of polishing them and bringing
out their hidden fires.
1T is so with Vino. The active cura-
tive principles of the COTS liver of
which IL is composed have been known
10 exist FOR many years and have been
administered in cases OF consumption
and other wasting diseases in the form
OF cod liver oil. Now we have sue
ceeded in separating these principles
from the fat and grease, and this is
Vnol.
"A letter that Chester Kent & Co,
the chemists with whom | am interest
ed in the preparation of Vinol. received
from Mr.. w. l.. Wood. the well known
Pawtucket chemist, brings this point
out very forcibly. He writes us as fol-
lows:
Like other discoveries. the fame of
finding Ninol existed not so much i'm
discovering the article itself. but i'm
finding way To get at it. Electricity
was known for long time before Edi-
son found way to get IL in harness
and make il useful to man. We have
known of gold for centuries, but 1t Is
only recently that the Klondike has re-
vealed how easy IL is to obtain posses
sion of large quantities Of this precious
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1898-10-08

metal, and with but little trouble. when
once on the ground. IL is just the same
through a long line OF valuable and So
called successful discoveries.
The ingredients of Vinol of course
are nothing new. Ninol is indeed only
an old and valuable medicine i'm a new
form. Cod liver oil has for long while
held prominent place in the Pharma-
copoeia, but cod liver has been in dis
favor with most prominent physicians.
on account of its vile smell and obnox-
lous taste even though they recognized
in IL a most valuable auxiliary for the
cure of wasting diseases.
Though YOU have not discovered cod
liver oil. or the medicine that was con-
tained in cod liver oil that made il val
liable. yet you have done better You
and your chemists have discovered the
way TO extract the active curative prin
ciples from the liver of the cod and
IN extracting them have found out how
to leave behind the useless, objectlona-
BILE and harmful grease
Now that we have Ninol, people will
no longer sicken and die from wasting
diseases for a cure has been made pos-
sioie lnasmuch as they are now enabled
To take enough OF the medicinal ele-
ments of cod liver oil to benefit them
selves. Now, any one. no matter how
delicate his stomach may be. can take
Ninol. and this as | have said before.
Will be the means OF giving to Vinol the
name of being the greatest discovery of
the age. Yours very truly,
"W. l.. WOOD"
"All that Mr.. Wood says is ind sed
true. said the druggist "and in nv
opinion chemists who after years Of
study and hard work succeeded i'm find
ing method Of extracting those cur
ative principles from the Gods liver are
worthy of having their names imprinted
forever on the pages of the book of
fame"

To Knoxville IL VIII Go.

Knoxville has captured Gen. Mex ee's
command and before the week has pass
ed the I'd division will have broken
camp and will be on its way to its new
camp. Gen, Mckee visited Johnson
City at the request of the citizens of
that place. but failed to find the spot
he desired, and he then decided upon
Knoxville as his place.
The citizens of that village have
made up money enough to pay expenses
of placing water mains through the
entire new camp and to pay for tho
land, thus not costing the government
one cent in preparation for that camp
An agreement has been made where
by majority of the members of the
county court have agreed to pay So, 600
for the purpose of helping to defray
the necessary expenses.
The division will be located in the
western portion of the city, at a spot
known as Londale. The Lonsdale-
Beaumont Water company will furnish
the water for the division. Chattanoo-

A girl in johnson City is dying. She
is dying because of the perfdy of a
being that pretends to be a man.
Courted and betrayed by this misera-
BILE brute, she has become a mother
and is now crazed by the disgrace,
and is slowly dying from the conse-
quences of childbirth. The peniten-
tiary is too good a place for the betray-
er of innocent girlhood, hell was made
for such beings, and the sooner they
get there the better for this world. We
do not advocate murder, but there
comes time in the lives of some when
even to kill will not satisfy, and VT
thank God that no Southern jury ever
convicts the avenger of such a wrong,
