Beer Selling in Army Canteens.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The report of the Senate committee on
military affairs in its reference to can
teens" would give the impression to the un-
informed by its prohibition of all liquors
except beer that other liquors are now sold
and are responsible for the general condem-
nation of the canteen by the generals as
well as the preachers. Permit me TO say
through your columns that only beer is now
ordered out. and the upper house is ask
ed by its committee to disagree with that
hearty, unanimous action, representing a
corresponding sentiment of the people as
expressed by petitions, letters and editor
ials OF the House vote on this matter the
outlook says: THE proposal to abolish the
canteen system, by which troops are sup
piled with intoXicants at regiment quarters,
used to be ridiculed as a fad of the Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union and the
prohibitioniSts. The experience Of the past
war, however, proved that the representa-
tives of moral sentiment were right and the
representatives of cyncisIn wrong. Every
commander, with the noteworthy exception
of General Eagan, took the position that the
canteen results in injury to the troops, and
on the report of their attitude the House
veted without division in favor of the
amendment"
1t is to be hoped that the Senate will not
follow its committees report in the face of
British experiments and American expert
ments. Very sincerely.

timid little sky lsrks, generally seen only
in rural districts, eagerly hunting for their
breakfasts ever the lexington car tracks,

by, within a few feet, were unnoticed by
them. If our housekeepers would throw
from their windows the bread crumbs
which are usually consigned to the "slop
bucket" much suffering would be averted
fIcm the erstwhile CHEEKY birds. While

SEA GIVES UP IFS DEAD.
Patrick McKivitt Was Not Lost ON the
Portland.

The mystery of the death OF Patrick
McKivitt has at last been solved. His
name has always appeared in the list Of
victims of the Portland, but he was not
on that Ill fated steamer, because his
body was.found in the harbor here yester
day morning.
On Saturday, November IL, McKivitt
left his home, telling his wife that he was
going to Boston ana would return in two
weeks. Two weeks from that time was
Saturday, Novemer 20, the night that the
Portland left Boston on her fatal voyage
McKivitt was never heard from and ii
was supposed, of course, that he was on
the Portland.
Yesterday morning at $50. Clarence
Willard saw the body of ma floating in
the water at the end of Long wharf. The
body was rescued and turned over to
Undertaken Rich. The body was SO bad
~ decayed that it could not be identified
except by the clothes. There were on the
body lace shoes, brown check ed trousers,
dark undershirt, blue waistcoat, cardigan
jacket and blue REFER. From this cloth
ing Mrs. Mokivitt identified the body as
that of her husband beyond q doubt 1t
seems that he did not go to Boston at all
but fell off one of the wharves here and
persisted. He was a laborer, about forty
years old, and had no family except his
wife. His home was at 20 Federal street.
