CLUB MEMBERS PLEASED.
The following letter from Mrs. Jeff
Dobbs of Atlanta, is a fair sample of
the many commendatory letters that
are being received by Ludden & Bates
relative to the Presbyterian of the
South Piano Club. Mrs. Dobbs, a musician
of ability, writes: "1 am exceedingly
well pleased with the club piano
recently purchased from you, and being
a musician, believe 1 am in position to
judge as to the character of this instrument.
I wish to state that 1 orig.
inally selected a $550 piano which it
WUR m V nnmnso nnrnhoco Ko.
fore closing the trade, 1 happened to
try a Ludden & Bates Club Piano which
pleased oie more than the $550 piano
referred to. Consequently 1 saw no
use to invest so large an amount when
1 could purchase one even more satisfactory
at $207, and 1 selected the
Ludden & Bates Club, and feel today
that have as good a piano as 1 would
have had If 1 had purchased the other
one mentioned."

THE CANTEEN AT P1IOEIUS.
(Bulletin l'resbyterian Temperance
Commit lee, Canestoga building, I'itis
burgh).
By William K. Johnson.
On May 14, 1898, 1 visited this place to
investigate the canteen situation here.
To-day, 1 visited the same place for the
same nurnnsp
I'pon my former visit hero the canteen
was raging" within the Fortress
proper, and at the Soldiers' Homo on
the other side of the village of Phoebus.
Phoebus wus started as a village of
dives and saloons in the canteen era.
It was wholly made up of slums. These
dives all grew up under the canteen
regime.
To-day, with the liquor officially eliminiated
from both the canteen in the
Fortress and the lloiue, 1 find that the
number of liquor shops has decreased
from 63 under the canteen epoch to 21
under the no-canteen era. The houses
of vice have been entirely abolished.
The population of the Soldiers' Home
has decreased from about t.000 to
2,000. The population of the Fort has
uiuri'iitMii i nmi anout sou to anout 1.-00.
The civilian population of the village
has increased so that the total population
to support t!he saloons has somewhat
increased. The liquor license has
been increased so that the village
license is now only $225.
All this has been accomplished under L
a hostile War Department. They have
sneered at Uhe anti-canteen law and
done what they could to discredit it.
They have gone a step further in this
matter and have just introduced the
sale of beer there to-day with two
soldiers. The bartender says they are
selling from one to two kegs per day.
When I visiteit the nleen in 1RQ8 thn
canteen had beeu established in the
Home for 18 years. I^ater, a second
beer hall had been established in the
Fortress.
In the very teeth of these concerns,
the slum village of Phoebus sprang up
with its G:j saloons and a big array of
houses of vicious character.
At that time I found 60 empty beer
barrels piled up in front of the Home
beer hall or "canteen." I found six
men behind the bar serving drinks and
three more walking about to pick up
empty glasses. A rail was put up and
the men formed a line to wait their turn
to be served. The quarterly receipts
for beer were $44,000. The average
daily sales were 48 barrels (not kegs).
The soldiers were paid in pensions and
for services about $118,000 per quarter.
Of this, $44,000 went for beer in the
beer halls beside what went to support
the 6.1 saloons outside.
I visited seventeen of these outside
Baloons at random and found sixteen
of them to be houses of ill-repute besides
being saloons.
Phoe"bus was so vile under the canteen
regime that the few decent people
there had their mail addressed to
Hampton or a nearby postofllce for very
shame.
The streets and gutters were strewn
with drunken soldiers and veterans. On
pay days, bedlam reigned supreme. EZ
Conditions to-day are enormously im- jjj
proved. Many of the Btreets are paved.
Banks and a fine new school house have fr"""
heen erected. The town Is as orderly as 5l
any license town. The police court has A
not had a case of any kind for a week
V new Phoebus has arisen from the ^
swamp of beer canteen days. J#
To-day I fell in with an ex-saloon
keeper who had been her$ for IS years.
He recently abandoned the liquor busi- I v|
i< ss and has served in the city council. ^
