MIR. WHEELER's LECTURE.
He Addresses the Anti-SaIoon Leagu.
and Its Friends

The Relation of the Business Man to
the Anti-Saloon League" was the subject
Of the address of Rev. A. J. Wheeler at
the Anti-Saloon League revival at the
Mount Vernon Methodist Episcopal Church
South last night. He said that the inter-
ests of the business man and the war
against the saloon were closely allied, the
aim of the latter being to obtain the help
Of the former in crushing out the perni-
cious evil. 1T is not a moral necessity
or Christian right that impels the busi-
ness man to seek protection against the
evils of rum in the Anti Saloon League. 1t
is self-defepce, the defence of our COM
mercial interests against the inroads of
the devil, the minister said. You must
band together, you business men of Wash
ington, and stand up for your own inter-
ests and the interests of the mothers and
wives that depend for support on those
you employ.
What good has the liquor dealer done
to humanity? Where in this great city,
is there a monument to any great deed he
has accomplished. What We need is your
practical cordial sympathy, your actual
help, and your moral support. Yet / meet
business men every day who come to me
anu say, MI wheeler, you are right. You
are going in the right direction. / know
the saloon is curse, it ought to be crush
ed, and / believe it will be thrown down,
but That little word-but' SO often
enters into the conversations OF the busi-
ness man with the temperance talker. It
ruins everything. We think we have
found friend and helper and we find
that he is only waiting for an opportunity
TO qualify his statements and throw you in
the cold. sS1
Business men of Washington, for the
sake OF humanity, for the sake of your
homes, for the sake of the Church, help
us crush out the saloon. Join in this
movement and endorse the platform of the
Anti-Saloon League, which has only one
plank-'the saloon must CO."
The meeting was called to order by
President Ewin at 7:30 o'clock, and the
Beveridges entertained the audience with
their quaint temperance songs until s
o'clock, the hour set for the beginning of
the lecture. Tomorrow night the subject
of Mr.. Wheeler's talk will be "The Rela-
tion of the Temperance Societies to the

MORE LOSSES IN OYSTERS
Shippers Complain of the Condi-
tionS in Local Markets.
Continued Warm Weather, Combined
With the Poor Demand, Nearly
Dredgers-Further Charges of linz
porting Alleged Inferior Biyalves.

The warm weather of the past few days
has given the men OF the oyster fleet fresh
cause for complaint. Especially is this so
in view OF the fact that the market has
not improved TO any great extent
At the present time the supply Of oys-
is far in excess of the demand. Conse-
quently hundreds of bushels spoil every
week. This means a loss of large sums to
the oystermen who can i'll afford such a
constant drain. The trouble between the
oystermen and the wholesale dealers has
not yet been adjusted, and if
anything, the feeling is more intense than
at any previous time. The oystermen as
sert that the dealers persistently refuse to
patronize the home market, despite the
fact that the grade of oysters secured here
is obviously better than those purchased
elsewhere. 1t is even claimed that the To-
cal shuckers would refuse to handle oys-
tiers of so inferior a size and quality as the
Annapolis and Norfolk product
At the present time the small dealers are
with one exception the main support of
the local market. few bushels are bought
al time which are shucked at the wharfs
and retailed in small quantities throughout
the city,
II is said that a cargo of oysters can be
landed at the Washington wharves for
2 12 cents per bushel cheaper than in Bal
timore or Annapolis, owing to the distance
between the oyster beds and Washington
being considerably less One reason given
as TO why dealers buy elsewhere than in
Washington is that the wholesaler pur-
chases his bivalves already shucked and
has them shipped 10 him in barrels the
loss he sustains by paying freight charges
being, it is said amply made up by the
addition of water. Ii is also said in sup
port of this that the liquor of the oyster Is
first drained off before they are shipped.
The largest cargo of oysters landed here
this season by one boat was 1872 bushels.
and it is claimed had her full capacity
been taxed 400 bushels could easily have
been carried
Five or six years ago, or before outside
markets became such a factor in the in
dustry. il was not uncommon for one of
the largest schooners to land a cargo of
1000 bushels, with the certainty of being
able to protitably dispose of them. One
OF the largest oyster boats on the river,
which formerly came in loaded to the gun
wales, arrived today with but 200 bushels
on board. The oystermen say that if the
quality or size Of their oysters entered in
to the competition they would not COM
plain, but as it is, they say there seems
to be total disregard of what may be
called home industry, and the oystermen
are very much discouraged at the outlook.
Whether the trouble will finally adjust it
self to the satisfaction of all concerned is
Of course a matter Of conjecture but the
oystermen say that one of two things will
-pif ha- ma of how will ha
PEELED to give up their licenses or the peo-
pie Of the city will so strongly protest
that the dealers will be forced TO purchase
fresher oysters from the local boats.
