LOCAL c, E. UNION.

Endeavorers Hear from Nashville and Re-
solve Against Army Canteen Business.
An informal meeting OF the Chris
tan Endeavor Union of Morristown
and vicinity was held Monday evening
at the South Street Church parlors with
a representative attendance from the
several societies in and about the city.
After devotional exercise led by the Rev.
A. B. Anderson of this city, the meeting
was addressed by Rev. E. R. Murga-
troyd, who described his recent trip to
the International Christian Endeavor
convention at Nashville, and gave inter-
esting notes of the many thrilling scenes
and addresses of prominent speakers be-
fore the convention, exhibiting the Nash
vile flag convention badges, and other
souvenirs of the convention. A stirring
address was also made by j. Claude
Armstrong of this city on the "Canteen
Business in the Army" setting forth the
evils of the saloon in camp, and the
efforts already put forth to counterfeit
and put down its demoralizing influence,
and the following resolutions on this
subject was unanimously adopted:
Whereas, 1t has been shown that by
the existence in the national camps of the
armies of the United States both in our
home country and in our present posses
sions in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philip
pines of the evils of the liquor habit
under the name of the Army Canteen,
thousands of our brave soldiers have
been and are daily exposed to the temp
tation to drink, especially strong in the
absence of other employment and pas
time, to the certain and lasting injury of
their physical and moral natures, risking
their manhood and endangering their
souls, and
Whereas, The said Army Canteen is
recognized and given public place in
nearly all of the regiments encamped,
the soldiers even being detailed to pass
out liquors to their comrades, therefore
be it
Resolved, That we hereby respectfully
request and petition our President, VIM.
Mckinley, that the Army Canteen bust
ness be prohibited and abolished and that
from this time forth, as members of the
Young Peoples Society of Christian
Endeavor, we use our every endeavor
and influence to put down and stamp
out forever this great and awful evil
from among the armies of the United
States.
A copy of the resolutions has since been
forwarded to the President. Miss Esther

SAVES A BIG SUM-.


being Cheated ON SILK Imports.
An important discovery which means
the saving TO the government Of at least
aquarter of million dollars a year has
been made by Silk Examiner Brown, Of
the New York port lie found that the
statement in Heyl's tables Of weights
and measures Of the equivalent In
grammes and grains Of the Japanese
momme, the weight in which the Ha-
butai and Kalkl silks are entered, was
erroneous. Heyl gives the momme as
equal to LIS grammes, while the correct
equivalent Is 3.75 grammes. The Ha-
butai and Kalki silks were assessed in
the Dingley tariff three dollars a pound,
. rate equal to about 70 per cent. ad va
loren. In the three months preceding
the passage Of that act the imports
Of them fell of almost entirely, but In
the past month or 90 they have largely
increased, and these recent imports
have been liquidated by the collector
according to Heyls tables, which gave
the equivalents too small by more than
half. The importers thus have been
paying duty OF less than 50 per cent
instead Of duty Of 70 per cent, and
the government has been losing heavily.
However, as the government has the
right to llquidate all cases within a
year, 1t will suffer no actual loss.
