A MODEL SALOON
Addressed in New York by
Bishop Henry C. Potter.
Singing the Doxology Ended
the Opening Exercises.
New York, Aug. 2.—Bishop
Heury C. Potter delivered the
principal address today at the for
mal opening of the “Subway Tav
ern,’’ a model saloon which was
established by a number of leaders
in the reform movement iu this
city. The purpose of the promotors
of the enterprise is to serve pure
liquor and food at low prices under
the best possible moral conditions.
In his addresss Bishop Potter said
the keynote had been struck by
this attack on the liquor situation.
He said he believed iu the old
village tavern as a meeting place
where a long evening could be
spent without the necessity of in
toxication.
‘T belong to a dozen clubs,” he
said. “If I want to go out to
dinner or a social evening I can do
so in auy one of these clubs. But
what of the man who lives in two
rooms with five small children?
He has no club. To get his glass
of beer with his luncheon he must
go to the saloon.
“This is the greatest social move
ment New York has ever known.
It is a movement every one of you
must take into account if you would
save the republic.”
Bishop Potter concluded by wish
ing every success to the movement.
The formal opening ended by
singing the doxology.
N. A. T. Miller Creek Plant.
The N. A. T. & T. Co.’s big
hydraulic plant on Miller creek was
put into operation a few days ago.
One large giant was put into use
Aug. 1. This means the starting
of one of the largest and most
costly mining plants ever installed
in the north.
Water used by the plant is ob
tained from Bedrock creek. Kight
and a half miles of ditch convey
the water to the plant. The water
supply is to be increased by run
I ing a siphon across Bedrock creek
and then tapping several miles ot
watershed and streams which teed
Siatymde. Four thousand a ml sin
hundred feet of 14 inch pipe have
been shipped to Fortymile town lor
use in building the siphon amt v«m

Yukon Territory Notes.
The following items are gathered
from the Dawson News:
The territory has 11 schools and
over 600 school children.
A bill looking to the revocation
of the Dawson city charter is to be
prepared by the petitioners favor
ing the scheme, and then presented
to the Yukou council and the city
council for discussion.
The steamer John P. Light, now
plying betweeu Dawson and Coal
creek as a coal carrier, may be
placed under the American flag and
sent to Fairbanks. Negotiations
to that end are now under way.
Jack McLagan returned from
Duncan, in the upper Stewart river
country, and reported many men
at work. He reported Mat Gaspar
and Tommy Curry returning to
Dawson with 25 or 30 pounds of
gold from the new district.
Pete Erickson, who returned
from the outside a few days ago to
operate No. 10 Eldora4o, cleaned
up 100 pounds of gold, avoirdu
pois. The value would be some
thing over $?o,oco, and was thor
oughly unexpected, since but two
men had been shoveling in but a
day and a half.
Bob Henderson, discoverer of the
Klondike, is back in Dawson. He
came in in a small boat with his
wife and three children and expects
to spend the balance of his life in
the territory. Henderson claims
$300,000 damages from the gov
ernment for not granting him the
raining claims he staked in early
days. After he staked bis Klon
dike discoveries he staid to take
out a grubstake, and when he
went to record he found himself
debarred by a regulation adopted
in his absence curtailing the length
of time within which record might
be hied. He now has a govern
ment job
AIRSHIP A SUCCESS.
Oakland, Cal , Aug. 3.—Capt.
T. C. Baldwin made another ascen
sion today with bis airship from
Idora park. He rose to a bight of
about 500 feet and sailed a distance
of about ten blocks, made a turn
and came back and descended in
the park without any mishap. The
ascension was entirely satisfactory
Tanner on Swine’s Flesh.
Dr. H. S. Tanner, who became
famous for having fasted forty days,
has not found many followers nor
, imitators in his fasting. He may
| be able to find a larger number who
are willing to agree with him that
all animal food is injurious and that
a vegetarian diet is the only proper
one. But while Zion can not agree
with him in this, we do agree with
all that he has said concerning the
consumption of swine’s flesh as
food. We make some extracts from
an excellent article of bis in a re
cent edition of a Pasadena, Cal.,
paper:
“One hundred and fifty thousand
persons die annually in the United
States from tuberculosis, and there
is a presumptive evidence to show
that swine’s flesh is the primary
cause of this frightful mortality.
The Jews eat no pork, and con
sumption is a disease almost un
known among them. The bible
student—the best book on hygiene
extant—will not deny that swine’s
flesh was prohibited under the old
Mosaic law, and severe penalties
were visited upon the disobedient.
Statistics show that the Jews, who
eat no pork, are immune from
cholera. There has not been a
single case of cholera in Russia, its
stronghold, among the Jews. In
London, in the severe cholera epi
demic of 1849, only two Jews died
of the disease. Besides being im
mune fiom cholera, the Jews are
singularly free from consumption
and cancer.’’—Zion.
