Took Curious Route.

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.
Speaking of the curious routes letters
sometimes take in reaching their destina-
tion," said an old newspaper man, re
minds me of an extraordinary experience
mad IN 1901, when l received two letters
when had been mailed to me in 1885,
thirteen years before. l had been with a
friend in Washington up to early in 1888.
when l concluded that 1 would go to my
Old home in Boston a few days, going
from there to New York. In the mean
time l had left my friend at Washington,
ana my movements were so sudden that
he did not at any time know exactly
where to find me. The letters to which [
have referred were sent to my Washing
ton address, and fortunately fell into the
hands of my friend. Not knowing exact
~ where | was after hearing | had left
Boston. he did not know where to send
the letters so he just kept them, think
ing that he would finally learn my ad-
dress and would send them on to me-
while loafing around in New York I
was suddenly seized with a desire TO go
to Europe, and without saying anything
to any one | boarded a ship and started
for foreign lands. For nearly four years
l was abroad, and during that time, while
communicating with relatives and friends
on this side, / never wrote to my friend
Whom had left in Washington, for
did not know his address and could get
no trace of him. He had left Washington
IN the meantime, and had come SOUTH
These facts were. of course unknown to
me at the time. I never heard a word
from him, and never knew anything of
his whereabouts until sometime after my
return to America; In fact, not until the
year 1901, when l suddenly ran across
him In the city of New Orleans 1 Sc
secured employment here, and was sur
prised one day to find that | was working
In the same office with my long lost
friend. BY the way he said when we
first met, I have a couple of letters for
you, which have kept for thirteen years,
since shortly after we separated in Wash
ington-in 1888 He gave me the letters.
They were yellowed somewhat by age.
They were from two very dear friends.
and | asked my friend what had become
of the boys, telling him whom the letters
were from. They are both dead he
said, and have been dead for a number
Of years.
IT suppose those two boys died thinking
just little bit unkindly of me because
of my failure to answer their letters, for
they never knew the letters had never
reached me- 1t was a strange experience
and one which had no small amount of
pathos In 1t for me, and one. too. which
Is frightened by the pretty friendship of
the man who had kept the letters all
these years for me-"

FEWER SALOONS.

Mr.. Chamberlain. as chairman of the
licensing committee got the brewers to-
gether and made them see that there were
too many public houses, and that it was
better to reduce them voluntarily than to
have them reduced by the committee
without compensation. The brewers, who
control the trade in England even more
than they do in New York, generally
agreed that numerous licenses led to ex-
cessive competition, to higher retailing
cost, and to drunkenness and that 1t was
to the interest of the wholesalers to sup
ply the trade through fewer houses.
Hence Birmingham and Midland Coun-
! ties Wholesale Brewers association" was
formed to work with the magistrates. This
Is the plan:
committe representing both brewers
and magistrates fakes one section of the
city at a time and determines which IL
censes shall be surrendered-usually those
of corner houses are left undisturbed The
brewers company makes over" the sur
rendered licenses at price fixed by valu-
alton and the houses are devoted to other
purposes
But who bears the loss? The company
figure that other saloons in the district
Will get rs per cent of the trade of the
closed houses, rs per cent of 1t 'escap-
ing to the city at large The value of
the trade of the closed houses can be ex-
actly ascertained. The cost Is then as
sessed about three-fourths upon neigh
boring houses and the rest upon the city
as whole, and the brewers divide the
cost of surrender In proportion to their
respective holdings in the section and the
city. And as the fewer the houses the
greater the net profit they seem to be
well satisfied
About two hundred houses have been
surrendered under the arrangement since
1888 There was then one license to every
222 inhabitants; there is now one to every
243; 1t would take twenty-eight years to
get the number down to one for every $50.
as recommended by the royal commission.
But the work is going forward steadily,
without loss to any one. And If Birming-
ham is like New York there is a great in
cidental gain In taxable values, upon
which licenses in residence neighborhoods
are always depressant.
Mr.. Chamberlain cites a considerable
decrease of arrests for drunkenness as
one good result of reducing licenses And
he finds by comparing a number of Eng

The brewers say that reducing the num-
Der of licenses makes no difference In the
amount of liquor drunk. Possibly they do
not allow enough for growth of popula-
