A NEW SUBSTITUTE FOR DEEil.
Mynterloiia Trmpcraiice Urlnk In Chicane's I
Now "Houio Saloonn." .
A now drink, wonderful in conception
and lnystcrioua in it.s olieruical analysis,
is about to bo sprung upon tho public by
BiHlion Fallows of tho Reformed i,pis
rnrnil pliiirnh. Tho bishon 13 0110 of tho
most enthusiastic and resoprcefnl of tho I
workcra who havo founded and maint
tained tho People's institute. In con
nection with his proposed enlargement
of tho Ecopoof thdinstitntowork Bishop
Fallows recently outlined- in Tho Trib
une his plans for establishing a scries of
"homo saloons." Tho plans have been
worked out in detail, and tho first two
of tho saloons aro promised to bo estab
lished within a fortnight. There has
I been a slight departure from tho'origi
! Dal plans, and instead of tho "homo sa
' Toons" being all of tho samo cluss thero
1 will bo as many degrees of variation as
I in tho original alcoholic dispensaries.
1 Tho first ones to bo established as an ex
, pcriment will both bo located in tho
. heart of tho down town district. Ono
; will dispcuso 3 cent drinks and tho other
j 10 cent drink?. Ono will cater to tho
' barrel house or grogshop constituency,
j and the other will cornpeto with tho
, liars whero the mirrors aro of beveled
I glass, tho bars of mahogany, tho drinks
J5 cunts each, and whero tho luncheon
' and side dish of olives ia presided over
I by : whito aproned attendant. Both
1 will bo onuied in largo basements, tho
: onlv differenco between tho " and lui
j cent saloon beingin tho magnificence of
' tho furnishings and tho elaborateness of
j the frcolnncb. Bishop Fallows said yes
I torday:
1 "Whr.t puzzled ns most was to pro
vide somo drink that would tako tho
place of beer. Wo shall offset whisky,
brandy and rum with soda water, choco
late, coffee, mineral waters, malted
milk, cocoa, lemonade, etc., but at first
there appeared to bo ho substituto for
beer. Vfo resolved to mako one. Expert
chemists havo been at work on tho prob
lem for s-cmo time, and the solution is
at hand. Wo havo a new drink the color
. of beer and scarcely to bo distinguished
: from it, but of courso it is nonalcoholic
aad uonfermentivc. Hop.? cuter into its
composition something that cannot be
! taid of roue of the beer sold ovrr Chica
go liars. The only diflicalty we havo yet
to overcome is to do away with seme of
the bitterness imparted to tho beer by
thu hops.
"After mnrli discussion of details wo
navo .icimmueu 10 open saloons 111 w:e
: district vfbere rents aro highest and
i where most nconle ccJcreate. We feel
sr.re wo can demonstrate that tho scheme
will bo a success from a business stand
point. Wo shall bo much disappointed
j if they do not pay a net profit of 10 per
cent. Jt wo cienionstratc utar, mo x'co
plo's institute will bo rclicveil from a
further prosecution of tho scheme. Pri
vate cutcrpriso and capital will then
step in and push tho good work. Whero
t!m." cent drinks arc, sold there will.bo
reading rooms, plenty of ligllt aiiTl heat7
toilet rooms, absolute cleanliness and a
good susbtauttal free lunch on the side.
Where the 10 cnt drinks aro sold, tho
aci-ommodations will be tho same, but
thire will bo more mahogany and plate
gla.-s about tho bar, and tho free lauch
will bo so elaborate that it will servo
fur a good substantial meal." Chicago

A BIG EXODUS.
I
TIip Schrme of "res' William of Georgia
to Iail XOO.UCO Nrcroe to Jleiico.
The rcdonbtable "Peg" Williams of
Atlanta, he of the negro ev3ns fame,
has created r, mi nil sized sensation in
Texas and Mexico by announcing that
ho wonld export 100,000 negroes from
tho southern states to Mexico during
this winter. Tho above information was
conveyed to Atlanta lat night in a press
! dispatch, dated at ban Anionic, Tex.,
wb-fcli alsostatcd that "Peg" hr.dbigncd
contract on fcatartiay to lnrnisli a
i wealthy planting company in Mapiainia,
Mexico, 300 laborers, to bo obtained
from Georgia.
"Peg" Williams is ono of tho best
ki.i-wn railroad men in Georgia, and he
has been instrumental in the exportation
of more worthy and worthless negroes
from this state than any other half dozen
mm in it. Ho is known, and intimate-
by every prospective darky exoduster
, in tho borders of the state, from tho
, Bine Ridge to Liberty, and to say aught
lag.uust "Pig" in tho hearing of any
une of them is to lay yourself liable to
trouble.
Did "Peg" meau what he has been
( telling tho peoplo out in Texas? Will ho
' really relievo the south of 100,000 mem
birs of its population within a few
' mouths, and, if so, how will ho do it?
, Will he colonize and march them to tho
' land of tho greaser, or will ho send
1 them in specials prepaid all the way
. through?
"Peg" Williamsisknownasahustler,
and when he undertakes to do a thing
he generally succeeds. If thero arts 100,-
' 000 negroes in the south who want to
go to Mexico that have tho necessary
fash, "Peg" Williams is tho man who
can carry them. Ho is resonrceful.and if
tiny have the money he can provide
transportation for that number and
many more. Atlanta Constitution.

A SALABLE BOOK
When I had finished my cursory ex
amination of tho manuscript, I laid it
down on tho table, andshakfngmyhead
said:
"lam sorry to disappoiutyou, oldfel
low, but I should most Etrongly adviso
yon not to try any publisher with this
story. I don't think that thero is tho
slightest chanco of its being accepted
anywhere. At tho same time I must say
that for a first attempt it does yon great
credit, aDd certainly if yon stick to your
work you will soon bo able to produce
something that will bo successful."
I tell you that that book is going to
bo tho biggest success of tho year," an
swered Martin Boss, in whoso rooms in
tho iliddlo Templo wo were sitting.
Wo had been at Oxford together and
had gone down about the same time, I to
tako my place on a newspaper and Boss
to try his fortune in tho city. Although
undoubtedly sharp, ho had succeeded in
nothing, and I had been under tho im
pression that ho had emigrated, when
that afternoon I met him in tho Strand,

Ho laughed and said: "'I never said

yourself bo guided by me and don't spend
any money on printing that book. I
don't bclicvo that a hundred copies of it
would be told."
"2yO, not a, hundred," he answered
confidently. "A hundred thousand is
nearer tho mark, though I expect tho
salo to go much higher than that. I tell
you that I am to mako my fortuno out
of that book: that I have struck oil this
time, and richly."
"But the style," 1 urged.
"Oh, I know that the style isn't up to
much," ho answered. "I'm no hand at
literature, aud, as a matter of fact, I
took tho least possible trouble over writ
ing this bock. I dashed it off on tho
typewriter in less than a week. But it
isn't on its merits as a work of art that
this book is going to sell."
"Well, as what, then?" I asked.
"Why decs So-and-so's pill and So-and-so's
soap sell? Because they aro
well advertised. Well, my book's going
to be well advertised and accordingly
will sell."
"I fear you will havo to spend a very
largo sum of money to advertiso tbat
book into success," I remarked.
"I know exactly what I shall havo o
spend. Sixpcnco halfpenny per dozen
copies, or a little over a halfpenny on
each copy. Each halfpenny and fraction
so spent will sell a copy. Tho bookwill
bo produced as cheaply as possible, and
I calculate tho cost to mo at about two
pence. Say that, with the advertising,
each copy cost mo threepence, which is
abovo tho mark, you may calculato what
my profits will bo on a saloof oven 100,-

"Would you mind telling what your
plan is?"
"Well, if you won't mind, I'd rather
not," ho answered. "Yon see, I can't
afford to give away tho idea. Yon might
talk about it, aud then somo other' fel

said rather coldly, rising to tako my de

my retain home, I saw qnito a heap of
tho shilling volumes of "A Disgraco to
Society" on tho bookstall at tho station.
At tho Victoria bookstall I saw another
heap of the same book, and on asking
tho clerk how this book was selling ho
answered, "Like hot cakes." Driving
home, I saw it well in ovidenco at. va
rious bookshops. It was evidently a big
success, and I wondered rather envious
ly how Boss had managed to obtain this
for so very worthless a production. I
had purchased a copy at Victoria, and
looking over it in the cab hadjhad ray
first opinion of it confirmed. It was a
wretched piece of work, and, moreover,
diEgracefnlly produced, badly printed on
cheap paper and so carelessly bound
that long ero I reached my lodgings it
had come to pieces in my hand.
"However has ho managed it?" I
cried a3 I remembered thoTery smalK
sale3 that my books, on which I had
spent no mncb timo and trouble, and
which had been published by some of
tho first houses in London, had leached.
Tho mystery was solved to me as I
looked over tho pile of letters which had
collected during my absence. Among
these was a tbin post card, addressed
in an unfamiliar hand, upon which wa3
written the following communication:
Dear Sin A sincere friend considers it his
duty to point out to you, that yon arc cruelly
find scandalously libeled in a miserable shil
ling book called.' A Disgrace to Society." pnb

Now, as soon as I had read this, hav
ing in the meanwhilo forgotten all about
Ross and his book, my first impnlso wa3
to rush out to tho nearest bookstall and
to ask for a copy of tho work referred
to. Then suddenly it flashed across my
mind that I had the book in my pocket,
and remembering what I had seen at
Boss' rooms I began to understand the
advertising scheme of which he had
spoken so sauguincly, and which, ac
cording to what I bad seen and my
own impulse at the moment, I had read
tho post card, seemed decidedly an ef
fectual one.
I happened to meet Ross that same
evening just as he was alighting from
a hansom outsido a fashionable Regent
ect cafe. As soon as hi finr in he
rushed up and cried out: "What did I
tell you, old chap? Is
it a success, or is
it not? Wo aro printing tho sixtieth to
seventieth thousand at tb.13 moment "
"I suppose it is to yon I owo this

Boss glanced at it, and turning rather
red said: "I didn't know that your name
was in tho directory, or I would have
given instructions that yon were not to
bo written to. Not that it matters much
now that tho success of tho book is as
sured. Well, yes, that was the idea, and
famously it has worked, as yon have
seen. We. sent card3to everybody in the
Who's Who, r in' the clergy list, in the
court section of the London directorr
vimdiHthVlawIist. Of course everybody
off to the nearest bookseller to get the
book and to find out how it referred to
him. Yon see, everybody has more or
less of a skeleton in his cupboard, and
there yon are, don't yon know. Afresh

Toll me, what do yon think of tha
idea?"
"I don't know, " I said. "It's origi
nal certainly. Perhaps on tho point of
taste"
"Oh, taste bo hauged!" cried Boss.
"Money is the thing to bo got, and mon
ey I am getting. That wretched little
book which I dashed off on my type
writer in a fortnight has already brought
mo in over 400, and 1 wouldn't sell
my interest in it at present for twice as
much again. And then look what a start
it gives mo as a literary fellow. Won't
tho publishers bo after me soon. Boss;
tha author of tho book which, without
being advertised or reviewed in tha pa
pers, ran through over 100 editions in
sis weeks? I tell you my fortnne is
made, thanks to that happy thought oC
miue."
I said nothing and shortly afterward
quitted him.
Hij sanguine hopes wcro not destined
to realization, by a curious, example of
the irony of fate. On the very next day
after I had met him a suit for libel was
commenced against him by a clergyman
in tbo north of England named Burrell
who, having his attention called toy a
libel on him in tho form of a story; in
which tho names were so thinly'dis

however, settled out of court, a scttle

of pocket by his first and last literary
venture. "I never heard of this; fellow Burrell
in my life," ho told mo mournfully.
"Tho story, such as it was, came out ot
my head. But of -coarse I couldn't go
into c.mrt and givo myself away. The
laugh would havo been against me."
And so no doubt it would have been.
