The Soldier and the Canteen.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Permit me. Through the columns Of your

unfortunate young man who signs himself

but have not been able to discover as yet
the purpose of the pious and doubtless.
honorable Mr.. Crafts and the ladies in re-
moving the canteen." 1t seems to me that
his reading has all been on one side-the
side he favors-or else he must be ex-
tremely dull. Has he ever read or heard
that the railway officials. large merchants
and owners of manufa curing esta blish-
ments absolutely refuse to employ drink
ing men? The ladies Of the w. G. T. u,
and many men beside Mr.. Crafts, believe
that the so-called protectors Of our beloved
country should be men Of sobriety, and so
they have simply put the box Of candy out
Of the children's reach and although
there are plenty Of candy stores outside, the
their stomachs as they would II the tempta-
ton were constantly before them. Again,
he says: IF there were no saloons within
fifty miles Of a post then the abolition OF

majority of the soldiers would walk fifty
miles to get their liquor? And isn't that
deplorable condition Of affairs7
and It has given the soldiers such appe-
titles for drink is 1t not time to do away
with It? It is just such conditions that
'tMr. Crafts and the ladies'" are fighting:
and God bless the men who have come to
the rescue.
Men in all conditions of life have found
that they are much better Off without liquor
than with 1t. An officer who accompanied
a relief expedition to the polar regions
few years ago testified that "a cup of tea
given to the freezing and suffering men did
them more good than all the whisky they

keepers associations are going halves with
the busybodies who have so effectually
added one more burden to the load Of the
long-suffering soldier" Doesn't he know
that whisky Kills more than the sword?'
It Is to decrease the suffering Of the soldier
and his family for which the busybodies
are working. Does he know that these
same busybodies helped to get law passed
which forbids the sale Of liquor within one
mile of the Soldiers Home? Let him and
his comrades stay away from "the low
groggeries which kind municipal govern
ment allows to cluster around Them and

Of and worthy to carry and support the

Second-The bed OF the glacier is trough

bore holes were filled up with pieces OF

come as indexes OF the rate Of movement

An American tells this story of Mexican
Justice: Zone morning the body of cow
boy was found in a border town. 1t was
supposed he had crossed the Rio Grande
to attend a dance and fiirted with some
senorita, and so was shot by a Mexican.
At least, that was the theory. because a
bag of money, amounting to $500, all In
gold, was found on the body. proving that
the murder had not been done for robbery
Besides the coin. very costly six shooter
silver mounted and ivory handled, was
strapped around the deceased. The finding
of the gun, was the occasion of q trial be-
fore the local alcalde. or Justice of the
peace. It was against the law to carry
weapons, and the dead man was fined 500
just the sum they found on him, for violat-
ing the Mexican statute"

YESTERDAT'S STOCK MARRET.
Dealings Smaller Than for More Than
 Three YeaFa.

Dealings Smaller Than for More Than
 Three Years.
 New York, Aug. 27. Dealings in stocks were smaller to-day than for more than three years past, the aggre- gate dealings reaching only about 15O,- 900 shares. Trade by room profession als made the entire market. They att tempted in the early dealings to con- tinue yesterdays downward course and succeeded to the extent of a point in few prominent stocks. Covering of shorts at the end of the day caused a practical recovery of the declines and the market closed dull and heavy and not appreciably changed from last nights neveI The preliminary an- nual statement of Erie showing in the neighborhood of 1 per cent. earned on the common stock accorded closely with expectations and resulted in profit talk ing sales which carried the price at one time point under last night. Disap- pointment over this movement reflected depression at points of the market. The news Of the murder of United States vice consul in Turkey was assigned as the motive for some selling here for London account, but the incident awakened little apprehension n our own market, where was assumed that the Turkish government would make all the reparaton demanded. The days wealth CT map was regarded as unfavoable for grains. Some selling orders attrib- uted to Philadelphia account were con1- monly supposed to be due to the exigeri- cies of the coming reorganization of the Consolidated Lake Superior com ,pany. The trade reports in iron and steel were distinctly more cheerful ana indicated growing demand at the con- sessions now ruling. Foreign bank ing houses continued to make loans here in spite of the large withdrawals to-day of gold from the bank of England. This had the effect of causing a somewhat easier tone in the time money market. No large interior demand for currency is yet evident. When the demand does come, it is now thought that the banks have so carefully provided for 1t that they will be able to meet requirements without 9 severe strain on the money market,
 There was slightly more breadth to the bond market than to the stock market. but it was dull and irregular. Total sales par value, $1,o95, ,000 6. /
 United States bonds were all un- changed on the last call.
