Jest aimed at SO gteaL an institution)-
and the daintiest little Tea House of Ten
Thousand joys outside of Jap-land
It futtered into existence one May day,
looked quizzically about and settled down
as neighbor to the Metropolitan Club.
1t was as unobtrusive. as fragrant, as
welcome as a sprins-time violet. 1t put
forth a gay little early English sign, de-
signed by one of the faculty Of the Cor
coran School OF Art.
1t scattered announcement cards bear
ing the name of Mrs. David B. Henderson,
Mrs. I-anier Dunn, Mrs. George Sternberg
and Mrs. Henry F. Blount as patronesses.
1t swung airy draperies and laid out
snowy linens in symphonic rooms of blue

brass samoyars and copper kettles. 1t
sprouted palms and set out bulging bowls
of meadow flowers and played game
with the sunlight by means of prismatic
candlesticks century old.
And then the bellows blew, the log
burned, the kettle sang II didn't hear
the cricke. chirp," and the Inn was op-
ened.
great and ornate mirror, once the
property of John Quincy Adams, reflected
a throng OF patrons, and behold, the pat
roDage OF the choicest. A quick leap from
experiment to success, from success to a
fad of fashion, yet the Dutch-like little
Inn took the leap like a thoroughbred.
The women of the army set will tell
tell you they are responsible for the pop
ularity of the Inn. The Metropolitan
Club men claim a share in its uplifting by
the regularity OF their patronage
The matinee girls have found 1t 10 be
the one Elysian spot where youth and
beauty may lunch unchaperoned; and that
accounts for the frequency of their COM
ing. Society women drop in at o'clock
for bit of gossip over the tea cups. and
they eat marmalade and thin bread and
butter.
The girls of a neighboring boarding
school cannot celebrate birthday with
out a frosted, candled cake from the Inn;
the kind of cake that goes home in a
bandbox and is a poetic study In icy-spicy
still life.
The Inn never goes out. Is that clear?

A GENTLE SPREE

TINE day was farm for Washington
| January, sunshiny. bracing, and
L wholesome farewell gift of the
outgoing year. Three demure maids
from boarding school were walking down
f, the Avenue abreast, and chattering like
magpies.
| Il do feel just like having a lark said
the black-eyed one.
$50 do t. said the girl with the Titan
hair.
IT'S just the day for it, said the
mouse of a creature in grey.
Let's do something.
| Let's"
What shall we do? 1t ought to be a
regular spree, for Frances is going home
| tomorrow said the grey mouse.
I've had perfectly lovely time" said
the brunette.
III tell YOU said the girl with the
auburn hair, well ride in an automo-
| bile
ooh Caro-. What a perfectly splendid
| idea.''
do you know where they keep them.
| Lulu3''
Yes said the grey mouse, down near
| Thirteenth Street.
I've never been down there" said
Caro-. obviously.
Never mind; there are three of u.s.
quoth Lulu valorously, and they went.
1t was a grave business. choosing that
automobile. and trying to look as if they
rode in such things every day. They sue
| ceeded. or thought they did. and crowded
| in, and the wheels and their tongues ran
races all the way up Fourteenth Street
Girls said Caro-, suddenly. do :-ou
suppose that man can hear what we are
saying?"
IF he does he must be on the broad
grin, because We certainly have showed
| that we're new, laughed Frances. How
do you suppose they stop these things.
| anyhow"
| Maybe we call to the driver through
| that hole in the roof suggested Lulu.
There ought to be an electric button
| somewhere around said Caro-. thought
| fully Here's something that looks like
| it, Let's press it and see what will hap-
PEN
So they did.
| Then they gave orders to go somewhere
else, and off they went. Before fhey
knew it the descending sun warned them
| of dinner.
1--WE girls went en- regular lark this
| afternoon" announced Lulu at the din
| ner table.
Where did you go?" asked the cousin
| from Princeton, looking amused
| We had ride in an automobile. 1t
/ vas awfully exciting The only thing
| that wasn't real stylish about it was that
we sat three on seat. and when we got
out we had to pay the driver on the side
walk. because the hour was up. and came
| home in the car. 1t was real spree.
| Good Lord,' thought the Princeton
| cousin as he went down town after din
ner to see some of the fellows, lit doesn't

And then cne day she was seized with
the strenuous life" mania; size wanted
an employment, and size sat down to
think. Perhaps she slept over it, being
woman. Anyway, she dreamed a dream OF
aesthetic food supply. and she awoke to
make the dream thing OF flesh and
gravies.
The inspired dreamer was Miss Annah
Coleman, of this city. There was sis
ter, Miss Catharine Coleman, visiting
some where in the North. She was sum
moned by telegraph. She came; she put
aside her ebroideries, renounced her visit
ing list and plunged into the scheme with
enthusiasm. The two girls produced the
Tea Cup Inn in less time than a week.
And such an Inn, Worthy of Dickens

In ether words, its activity does not slum-
Der. When the luncheon hour is over, the
catering business goes actively on, sup
plying refreshments for parties, teas and
receptions. At night it is especially awake
when a private supper, after the play, is
served. and the small tables give place
to one round mahogany, rich in appoint
ments, a-twirkle with petticoated candles.
Such a supper is served iEcomparably. Or
it is card party COR which the rooms are
lent; or private lecture. The Inn is in
demand because it is q novelty; because,
too, its kitchen diety is worthy a me-
mortal in the Halls OF Fame.

Cidill tlc pIOtcCliOu to 1ii0ii i"hi lilies which the divorce will give.
 Now, this question has been dis cussed and commented upon so thoroughly that there can be possi-
 bly, no question to what the people
 want. The word people is used ad-
 visedly. It means those who have
 given hostage to society and civili-
 zation by assuming the cares and
 responsibilities of parentage, and
 are raising men and women to keep
 up the community and the state in
 the next generation. The rights of one such man and one such woman, within the purview of the power of government, outweigh and are paramount to those of q thousand men and women whose chief end and aim seems to be to trade upon the passions of men. Nogales has now grown so it has many families whose growing children should be protected from the influences above described.
 THE OASIS knows we'll the argu- ment is. made that the singing wo- men in the saloons attract stran gers who come to town and spend their money, and the money goes into general circulation, which it would not were the women prohib- tied, which as a consequence makes profit for the business men i'll the town. When that argument Is sifted to its ultimate result, the proposition is that hundred re- spectable families must run an en- hanced risk of the debauchery of their growing children In order that a half dozen tradesmen shall swell their profits. There is the whole argument. If the business men who make that argument would look beyond their noses they would see that the trade of the hundred families outweighs that which they get from the other quarter.
 Recently, as announced in these columns, proposition to protect the growing families in Nogales, by removing from public places this sinister influence, was presented to the town board. That proposi- tion came from one of the objection able places. In this connection there is no room for criticism of the motive which prompted MT. Will [ Hams to ask exclusion or the women. | If political, so far as are concerned : those who are now standing for ex- clusion, he is welcome to all the prestige it will give him. The one question is this: Is the proposition right? The reply to that is simple ! and straightforward. Yes. 1t iS right.
 Nothing is ever gained by tenn porizing with or postponing action upon question of public morals. Yet is just what was done by the Nogales town board at it's meeting evening. They could have ,,ocoad tba ordinance presented |

committee could have reported it back, and the council could have adopted it, the whole operation not requiring fifteen minutes.
 So far as may be concerned the argument against undue haste that is no argument whatever. The matter is right, and the sooner No- gales aligns itself as a community with the right upon such questions, the better for the reputation of the town. When the proposition was presented to the council aweek ago last Monday evening, there was then a pressure for immediate ac- ton. But some of the very men who voted for further postpone ment last Monday evening, asked postponementa q week before, to give time to learn public sentiment. So at their request it was postponed. The petition presented certainly demonstrated how public sentiment stands. That petition was accord ed very scant courtesy by the coun- cil. The councilmen responsible therefor certainly made great mistake in treating so cavalierly so strong and so responsible peti- ton. It was a great disappoint- ment to those who have right to consideration, and a disappoint- ment which will be remembered.
 After the meeting three of the councilmen who voted to postpone Marsh, Neuman and Burgoon- declared that when the ordinance comes up at the regular meeting, they will vote for it. All well and good. They will then have chance to redeem themselves.
 It is whispered about that the ordinance which will be reported from the ordinance committee, will be not the one referred, but one regulating" women in saloons. That kind of an ordinance will not fill the bill. Absolute exclusion is the public demand. Nothing else will be acceptable. This matter has come up for settlement, and it will not be settled until is settled right.
 LATER: - As stated elsewhere, it is reported that the ordinance committee yesterday voted to report the ordinance unchanged

A DISAPPOINTMENT.

As long as Nogales was a typical frontier border town, and there pre-
 dominated a floating population,
 consisting of all sorts of characters and curiosities, many influences
 were permitted or overlooked, which would not and should not be per mitted or overlooked in a town of more permanent nature, the homes of families, the environment of growing youths and maidens.
 One of the influences so permit ted and overlooked has been the publicity of certain women in sa- looms. By this it is not meant to assail the moral character of all saloon women. But the very use of women to sing and dance in saloons is demoralizing upon cer- tain class of men, and particularly so upon the adolescent youth, in whose veins there runs riot all the sensations of manhood without the judgment of manhood to control them. Given boys and youths of the adolescent age, all parents and guardians will testify, it is task of sufficient magnitude to safely steer them over that dangerous age without moral harm, if not utter ruin, with erotic influences con cealed and hidden, instead of hav- ing such influences Haunted under the faces and eyes of the youth, by those who profit by vice and inn morality That is the ground upon which parents and heads of families have long desired the ex- clusion of women from the saloons. To old rounders who have been through the mill and are "sea- soned" to life in the great world, there is little or no harm in such things; but all such, in looking back over their own experiences, can recall that while they were be- ing seasoned" there were scores of their youthful companions who were ruined by too free contact with the scarlet woman and the wine cup. Alone either is danger ous to susceptible and adolescent youth, but in combination they are an influence which tend to social and moral degradation and finan- cial ruin. For these reasons the men and women who are building up homes in Nogales have longed for an opportunity to divorce the wine cup and the scarlet woman in public places. They know it will be sufficiently hard to keep their youth from the baleful influences

WHO'LL GET C.G.W.
A Deal of Some Kind Said to
Be On ..
WITH HARTMAN AND MORGAN
Cut In Packing House Products
Rate Has Hurried
Things Up.

Chicago, Aug. 15.-The Tribune to-day
prints the following:
Negotiations are said to be in progress
between President Stickney Of the Chi
cago Great Western and parties who are
believed to be acting in the interests Of
Hartman and Morgan looking for a
change in the control Of the Chicago
Great Western.
For more than year deals for the alb
sorption Of the Great Western have been
hanging fire. Both Hill and Hartman
have been trying to get it, but the price
asked by President Stickney for control
was considered much too high. Mr..
Stickney found that he could not get his
price for the road and decided upon ex-
tensions to Omaha and Sioux City, think
ing this would cause offers from rival
lines. notwithstanding the fact that these
extensions are now in course Of con-
struction, no one has moved to get the
road at Stickney's price. The recent large
reduction In rates on packing house prod
ucts and dressed meats by the Great
Western is regarded as a fresh intima-
ton to the larger interests that they
would better hurry up with their plan to
take over the Great Western.
The big western railroad interests
competing with the Great Western seem
to have become conscious of the Great
Westerns ability to cause decentralization
In rates and serious loss of revenue.
There is every indication that a change
in the control Of the Chicago Great West
ern will occur before long, but just what
disposition will be made Of it is hard to
tell. There has teen some talk that
the North Western will take over the
part Of the road from Marshalltown to
Kansas City. while the Illinois Central
will get the northern portion of the road.
The North Western needs an outlet to
Kansas City, and the Illinois Central Is
equally in need Of an outlet to St. Paul
and Minneapolis
