Working of the Subway Tavern.

| Joseph Johnson, Jr., proprietor of
the subway tavern" in New York,
contributes to the international Quar-
|terly an interesting article OH the
progress of the experiment which
evoked so much criticism at the
|start.
1t will be remembered that Bishop
Potter dedicated the tavern and in
consequence received good deal Of
criticism. Owing to the advertising
the place received, 1t WAS for time
visited chiefly by curiosity seekers,
aud snestimate Of its influence could
mot be formed. During recent weeks
however, the business of the place
settled down to normal, and Mr..
Johnson's report may be accepted as
showing the actual working of the
scheme.
ssrhe rules as laid down have been
carried out by the management as
faithfully as possible" says the pro-
prietor Of the tavern. mo drunken
man or woman and no inebriate has
been served. Women without escorts
have been excluded, and the best and
purest brands of liquor have been
served te those willing to drink in
moderation. More than a
hundred workmen in overalls are
served with glass of beer and a
plate Of soup every day at midday,
and throughout the rest of the day
the tavern seems to commend itself
to the neighborhood. Two near
neighbors and competitors in the sa-
loon business, both of whom sold vile
stug, and sold to all corners, have
closed their doors. The sheriff took
over one and the other retired for lack
of patronage. And this was done in
spite of the fact that the tavern has
closed its doors at the legal hours,
whereas most of its competitors do II
thriving business after hours and all
day on Sunday"
Mr.. Johnson asks the critics of
Bishop Potter what they have done
In the cause of temperance to conf
pare with the work of the subway
tavern. Certainly, II the tavern has
driven out two of New Iork's bad
saloons, something substantial has
been accomplished, and the proprie-
tors question seems pertinent. AS
matters stand, Bishop Potter and his
tavern-keeping friend have the bet
ter Of the argument.-Denver Repub-
lfcan.
