RESULT OF CANrEEN CLOSING

RESULT OF CANTEEN CLOSING
The Chicago Evening Post, which
opposed the abolition OF the canteen in
the army, calls attention to an episode
last week at Fort Wayne, near Detroit,
which shows an early result, and it is
feared what will be a frequent one Of
the bluuder made by Congress when 1t
abolished the canteen. 1t says:
"Under arecent order the post canteen
at Fort Wayne was closed. According
to the anhcanteen folk this was to be the
first step in making the army of Uncle
Sam a regular band of hope and cold
water brigade But cog seems to have
slipped somewhere, for several soldiers
left the fort on Tuesday and got glori-
Ously drunk in a saloon outside the lines
and wound up in a riot IN which one
was slashed with a razor aud aDother
was stabbed with a bayonet
"Thls may be considered the first test
OF the antic 4nteen measure, and 1t has
worked just as every sensible person
believed il would. II the post canteen
at Fort Wayne had been open these
soldiers would not have had to 90 out
side for drink They would have been
under post restrictions, which would
have prevented the disgraceiul orge
Beyond the lines.
"Emo.ionahsm abolished the canteen:
but such stern facts as the foregoing
may bring Congress to realize the
hluuder it made and to correct it with
as little delay as possible"

THE RECENT ABOLITION

of the army canteen by the workers of
the w. c. T. U. is an awful thing"
declared Mr.. John Graham Brooks, the
distinguished Boston lecturer, in his
address last week before the New York
League for Political Education Mr.
Brooks paused dramatically at this point
n order to give his assertion the proper
effect, and then repeated, with even
more emphasis:
~ say, it is awful"
The audience, which was composed
of the most conservative element IN
New York society, evinced no cisap-
proval of Mr. Brooks statement, but
listened with interest to his defence OF
the canteen.
"These good women" went on Mr.
Brooks, "have made the fatal mistake
OF ApplyIug to politics an abstraction
which is this: That liquor is a terrible
thing, never under any circumstances to
be tolerated.
"They have therefore made havoc
with something that had established
itself as an immense ADVANTAGE not only
to the individual soldier, but as we'll to
the whole army Every army general,
upon whose word in other matters
military we have been accustomed to
rely, will tell you by the hour OF the
upliiGment in the morale OF the army
caused by the establishment OF the
canteen.
"And it was an upliitment TO the

UNIQUE RULING OF OHIO JUDGE.

A verdict tor $500 damages for the
death of Mrs. Mary Hallon, who was
killed 10 a wreck on the Akron, Bedford
& Cleveland Electric Railroad three
years ago, has just been obtained by her
daughter, For his death in the same
wreck, heirs of Iustus Walborn, the
conductor of the wrecked car, received
SO, 900 several weeks ago.
In sustaining the verdict Tor $500 for
Mrs, {allons death, Judge Hay den
says the lie of woman under ordinary
circumstances cannot be as valuable as
the life of man; that Walboru was
ableoodied and earning good wages for
a young vile; that Mrs Hal!on was
growing old and could not be Of great
use. Judge Hayden's decision has
caused much comment.

RELIEF OF STARVING ALASKAN.t
The irruptiOn of Americans into that
portion of the territory of Alaska con.
tiguOus to the region where gold has
been discovered has almost resulted in
absolutely wiping tff the lace OF the
earth 1000 Of the unfortunate natives of
that country, whose kindness TO our
people has caused them to suffer from
starvation, lack OF fuel and lack OF
clothing
A letter from General Randall, com.
manding the Department of Alaska,
states that unless immediate relief is
given these people vill be absolutely
exterminated. The trouble from which
these people suffer is because OF their
kindness TO the people of the United
States who have come there in search
OF gold He continues;
During the past winter there we're
numbers Of white men travelling be-
tween Nome and the Yukon River who
stopped at the native cabins and villages.
with whom the natives divided their
scanty supply of foon. These travellers
also burned up the dri(twood along the
shore, which the natives had been ac.
customed to hoard and use with rigid
economy. With the opening Of spring
sickness appeared among them. They
are no logger able TO dispose Of their
dead.
And then he proceeds to cite cases
where large numbers Of natives have
died. in fact, whole villages have died.
Reports from the Treasury agents there
show that IN some instances as many as |
so people in small village OF a hundr, |
or so have died. and iu some cases there
would not be sufficient left alive to bury
them. The bodies would lie there as
wv W. NNko III dl ledSl one Instance
an entire village was wiped out, and
when the agent came there he found
one baby, the only thing left alive, and
/ was attempting to draw nourishmeut
rom the breast OF the dead mother,
This trouble comes from these three
hinks; First, the white men going there J
n large numbers and carryiJg their
lrearms with them have driven the
Jane away from reach Of the natives.

p The native has been very saving
nj frugal with it. He ust S only a small

'hIte man uses il as he does at home
