Bishop Potter and the Model Saloon.

Bishop Henry G. Potter, who
participated in the dedication Of
the Model Saloon, = a subway
tavern in New York City, has
brought down severe rebuke and
criticism upon his devoted head.
Men and women, preachers and
priests are expressing themselves
vehementIy.
Men object to the Bishops
statement that the effort to abol-
ish the saloon is one of the
most comic and tragic failures Of
history"
Women, as represented in a
leading temperance advocate of
New York say: 1t is a great
pity that the bishop Of New York
should take the stand he has for
any saloon, however it may be
conducted. No matter whether it
is better drinking place than
others, the results of drinking are
bad in the great majority of cases,
and no clergyman should give his
sanction to intoxicants.
Preachers assert that the Bishop
has compromised himself and the
church and lain himself liable to
severe criticism, while the Rev.
John Hughes of the Paulist Faith
ers, relates the following apropos
incident:
A man came here" he said,
and told Father Hecker chat he
wanted to open saloon in the
parish. You know he added.
that / am a good law abiding
man, and / want to conduct the
saloon on good moral lines, and |
don't want you to oppose me in
opening it. If you will consent /
promise to- comply with any stip-
ulations you may make for me
in running it.
All right, Father Hecker
answered, you can go ahead if
you will comply with my condi-
tions. The first is that you will
have none but archangels for bar
keepers.
1t is unnecessary to say, con-
tinued Father Hughes, that
there was no need of mentioning
the other conditions. My opinion
on the slsbjactis that laid down by
all the Catholic bishops, who say
in the DEGREES of the council Of
Baltimore as to those engaged in
the sale of Intoxicating liquors.:
" Let them, if possible, choose
some more honorable way of MAX
ing a living. =
This one untoWard act in the
brilliant life of Bishop Potter, will
shadow his grandest achievement
In the realm Of thought or deed,
and will be remembered when the
good that he has done has been.

it may be recorded fol a prece.

same example, will creep into. the

Of all those high 10 authority in
all the churches and countries of
the world, together with all the
patriotic hymns and worsIiipful
s'doxologies they can sing at the

Kenner pulled the wads apart at the
window and answered:

said, pulling out his bunch of notes.

"All right. Mr.. Hanks said the long
mountaineer, "I'll tell 'em."

as the market showed a decided up
ward tendency. Meeting the negro
porter Jake on corner, Buckley gave
him the letters and told him to take
them up to Hillyer, and then, for lack
of anything else to do, he entered the
warehouse, shut the door after, him
and, went back to his room. Here he
sat down at the window In the sum

of it he had allowed feeling of utter
dependency to descend upon him.
What Is the user" he asked himself

half an hour he sat thus in the very
dregs of despair, and then suddenly q
picture rose before his mental vision
a picture OF old man Hillyer as he sat
there on the bed In the vague lamp

life and the grim fight he was still
making to overcome the consequences,
and a flush of shame stole over the
