THERE ARE PLENTY LEFT.
The annual report of city collector
Brandecker, of Chicago, shows that
one thousand saloons have gone out
OF business during the past year. At
present there are 1, 800 licensed saloons
in the city.
SALOONS CLOSED ON SUNDAY.
The supreme court of Iowa has decid-
ed that saloons must not be opened on
Sunday for purposes Of cleaning them
preparatory TO business Monday. The
court says: 1.-THE statute does not say
the place shall not be opened for bus
mess. 1t says 1t shall not be opened
at all.
CIGARETTE SMOKERS INEFFICIENT.
The general freight agent of large
railroad employing two hundred men.
attributes eighty-five per cent OF the
mistakes made In his Office TO his
thirty-two cigarette smokers. He re-
fuses to employ any man addicted to
the habit.
LEADS TO GAMBLING.
Two Eastern railroad companies,
the Erie and the Susquehanna, have
announced that after the first OF the
new year all card tables will be re-
moved from their trains, and any vio-
lation of the prohibition against card
games will be publicly reprimanded
by the conductor. The action Is
taken because of the fact that profess
sional gamblers mako a practice OF
travelling on the New York suburban
trains, teaching special games and
winning the money OF the regular
patrons of the road
FUGITIvEs FROM JUSTICE.
Thirty-th liquor dealers are fugi-
lives In New York state from Vermont
where they were In danger of trial and
imprisonment for pursuing that traf-
tic. Governor Black refuses to honor
a requisition from the Vermont gov
ernor, on the ground that liquor sell
ing Is not a crime In New York.
Judge Thompson of the supreme court
Of Vermont holding county court In
Rutland county has arranged to keep
the court in continuous session until
next March. The effect OF this will
be TO keep the fugitives from return
ing to their homes unless they are
prepared to take the risk OF imprison-
ment.
A WORD FROM DEPEw.
Chauncey Depew says: Twenty five
years ago | knew every man, woman
and child in Peerskill, N. Y, and it
has been study with me to mark
boys who started In every grade OF life
with myself to see what became OF
them. / went up last fall and began
to count them over, and 1t was an In
structive exhibit. Some OF them be-
came clerks, merchants, manufac-
turers, lawyers, and doctors. 1t is re-
markable that everyone of those who
drank is dead; not one living Of my
age. Barring few who were taken
by sickness, every one who proved a
wreck and wrecked his family, did 1t
from rum and no other cause. "
THE VICTORY OF TOTAL ABsTAlNERs.
The recent brilliant English victory
on the Atbara was won by force COM
posed exclusively Of total abstainers.
For months Sir Herbert Kitchener has
denied all liquor to his troops, with
the result that, in one OF the deadliest
of climates no army has ever had so
little sickness, been in such magnifi-
cent physical and moral training, or
won hard fought battles after forced
marches Of such extraordinary char
acter. No wonder that the total abb
stinence principle in warfare is being
pondered by military authorities
throughout the world. IN. Y. Wit

THEY TRY TO RESTRICT.
The Hawaii Cabinet recently grant
ed licenses under an act Of the last
Legislature for one year. Saloons can
be kept open from a. m. to 5 p. m.
only, and must have no screen doors.
Only light wine, beer and ale can be
sold. The rumsellers are angry at
having to remove their screen doors
and threaten to fight the matter In
the courts.
