CLUB MEMBERS PLEASED.
The following letter from .Mrs. Jell
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 tn srato Hint 1 nrii?
inally selected a $550 piano which it
was ray purpose to purchase, but before
closing the trade, 1 happened to
try a Ludden & Bates Club Piano which
pleased me 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 PHOEIH'S.
(bulletin Presbyterian Temperance
Committee, Canestoga building. Pitts
burgh).
By William E. Johnson.
On May 14. 1X98, I visited this place to
investigate the canteen situation here.
To-day, 1 visited the same place for the
same purpose.
Upon my former visit here the canteen
was "raging" within the Fortress
proper, and at the Soldiers* Home on
the other side of the village of Phoebus.
Phoebus was 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 e!iminiated
from both the canteen in the
Fortress and the Home, 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 4.000 to
2,000. The population of the Fort has
increased from about 000 to about 1.200.
The civilian population of the village
has increased so that the total population
to support the 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
a hostile War Department. They have
sneered at She 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 visited the place in 1898 the
canteen had been 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 63 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." 1 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 63 saloons outside.

saloons at random and found sixteen
of them to be houses of 1ll-re)>ute besides
being saloons.
Phoebus was so vile under the canteen
regime that the few decent people
there had their mall addressed to
Hampton or a nearby postoflice for very
shame.
The streets and gutters were strewn
with drunken soldiers and veterans. On K
pay days, bedlam reigned supreme. U
Conditions to-day are enormously im- *
proved. Many of the streetB are paved.

any license town. The police court has 8
not had a case of any kind for a week. jj
A new Phoebus has arisen from the U
swamp of beer canteen days. f.
To-day I fell in with an ex-saloon ?
keeper who had been here} for 13 years.
Me recently abandoned the liquor husiness
and has served in the city council.
