BARROOMS OF THE BISHOP.
Scheme of an English Preiate to
Promote Cause of Temperance
in England

The people of England are much in
terested these days concerning the
working of the plan of the bishop of
Chester for dealing with the evil of ex-
cessiye drinking. The bishop thinks
that prohibition does not prohibit and
that regulation is much better. As
regulation has in view the evil done by
drinking, special pains are taken to
supply only the purest drinks. The
houses under the bishops scheme are
to have a uniform external appear
ance, distinguishing them from ordi-
nary licensed houses, notices promi-
nently displayed that food and nom
intoXicants are supplied at popular
prices, the intoXicants to be placed at
one end of the bar and the nonintox-
icants at the other, with tables at
which buns, sandwiches, tea, coffee,
etc. can be served
In villages the houses are to have
club, temperance and recreation
rooms, and where space is available a
billiard-room and library, with back
CANNON, drafts and similar games,
are to have also bowling green and
other counter attractions to the bar
and tap room. The idea is that it is
hopeless to try to eXtinguish thirst
for stimulants, but wise to reduce the
danger arising from excess or from
bad whisky and beer TO the minimum.
The good. of the drinker. not the pro-
motion of Il theory, is the main object
