RESTORATION OF CANTEEN.
Former Soldiers Unite in Petition to
Congress
Hundreds of memorials and communications
from veteran soldiers of the civil war
and the war with Spain are being received
at the headquarters of the committee on
legislation of the United Spanish War Veterans
in this city favoring the restoration
of the army canteen. The petitioners represent
nearlv all the states and everv
branch of the military and naval service.
In addition to the soldiers, a number of
memorials have been received from the
wives, mothers, daughters and sisters of
American fighting men, praying; Congress
to restore the army canteen "in the Interest
of morality, health and good order, and as
a real, not theoretical temperance."
Petitions from veteran soldiers in Cincinnati,
Milwaukee, New Jersey, Michigan,
Maine. New Hampshire and the District of
Columbia were forwarded today by Capt.
J. Walter Mitchell, secretary of the national
committee on legislation of the Spanish
War Veterans, to Representatives H. P.
Goebel of Ohio, Theobold Otjen of Wisconsin.
R. Wayne Parker of New Jersey, G.
A. Loud of Michigan, Edwin C. Burleigh of
amine ana oiners.
The memorialists say:
"The undersigned have all served In 1.ie
army of the United States, most of us during
the civil or Spanish wars. We know
the life of a soldier, his needs and his desires
and are able tcf speak from experience.
"As long as the canteen at the army posts
provided soldiers with beer and light wine
of good quality, in moderate quantities and
In decent surroundings, most of them were
satisfied. They remained at the post, were
sober and well-behaved and did their duty
cheerfully.
"Since the abolition of the canteen they
gratify in large numbers their thirst in the
low groggeries and dives in the neighborhood
of the posts, and, as a consequence,
their moral and physical health suffers as
much as discipline and good service. The
large majority of the officers hold the same
view and many of them have expressed It
In their reports.
"Theories on paper and experiences of
practical life do not always harmonize. We
do not believe in legislation for the sake of
tneories, out prefer legislation for the sake
of men. The canteen was practically a
temperance measure, and we earnestly request
its restoration."

WORK DELATED.
Statement Regarding Improvements I
of Certain Thoroughfares.
Although many complaints have been
made about the unimproved condition of tl
25th street between E and F streets north- E
west and E street between 24th and 25th tl
streets northwest, according to a statement b
made by Commissioner Biddle yesterday. It v
Is likely that some time will elapse before li
this work Is done by the District. o
The hygienic laboratory of the United ti
States and Public Health and Marine Hos- u
pltal service is located on the streets men- cl
tloned, and In a recent letter to the Commissioners
Surgeon General Wyman, In n
charge of this government department, said g
that both 25th and E streets are badly In
need of repair, as neither have been paved n
or provided with walks for foot passengers. t]
fie said these streets are constantly used by
employes of the laboratory, and during Inclement
weather are almost Impassable. He d
suggested that the work could be charged
to the appropriation for grading streets, s
alleys and roads. S
Commissioner Biddle Is of the opinion that jthe
improvement would involve a large
amount of grading, and that it would be "
necessary to secure a special appropriation
from Congress to pay for the work. He
stated that the Commissioners have already J*
submitted their estimates for the next fiscal 2
year to Congress, but will give the matter f.
careful consideration for the following fls- ?
cai year of 1906-00.

Rosenthal in Concert. p
The third concert this season by the j*
Philadelphia Orchestra took place yester- . n
day afternoon at the Belasco Theater. The c]
usual hour for these concerts has been at
4.-.TO o'clock, but yesterday afternoon it was w
fixed at 4 o'clock, so that many persons a
were late in getting to the theater, and
missed a portion of Liszt's symphony c,
"Dante," which was one of the attractions tc
of the program. This work is one of the n
most notable of Liszt's compositions for or- l<
chestra, and each movement is distinctive w
In treatment and color. The first is called
the "Inferno," the second "Purgatorlo,"
and the third the "Magnificat." In the
last It had been intended to use the boy ^
choir of St. Clement's Church, Philade? uia, A
for the vocal score, but it was found that
the volume of tone of the orchestra over- p
shadowed their youthful voices, and so a
choir of women was substituted and placed ,
in one of the stage boxes. This proved
eminently satisfactory, and, sang with spirit
and effect, was received at the conclusion
of its work with prolonged applause.
The other attraction of the afternoon was F
the playing by Moriz Mosenthal of Chopin's s:
B minor concerto for piano and orchestra. ^
The pianist was late In arriving, owing to 1
the change of hour, and "The Swan of Tu- "
onela," by Jean Si hell us, was played before &
he Anally made his appearance. When he
did come he was heartily greeted, and he jj
played that difficult work with a daintiness .
of exerntJ-on. an intelligence of internretft
tlon and a clarity of tone in all his runs C
that aroused the utmost enthusiasm in the
audience. Again and again he was brought j
back to bow his acknowledgments, and 0
finally he responded to the demand for n
more with his own composition, "Papil- j,
Ions."
Wagner's overture, "The Flying Dutchman,"
was the concluding number, and It
was played with that perfection that this
orchestra always gives. ri

Onward Tent of Rechabites Not j,
Pleased With Mrs. Nation's Speech, t:
A meeting of Onward Tent, No. 1021, of P
the Order of Rechabites, was held last n
night at the hall, 5th and G streets north- '
west. The meeting, which was a secret t
one, was called for the purpose of taking b
some action on declarations made by e
Mrs. Carrie Nation last Monday night at
the dance given by the order. In her address
on that occasion Mrs. Nation denounced
the round dances, cigars, Washing- c
ton vice and In general the laxity of the c
government officials. ^
A vote was taken by Onward Tent last
night, and by a majority of four-fifths the c
tent passed a resolution as fallows: "It Is c
the voice of the tent that we do not ap- 1
prove of the radical utterances of Mrs. Na- 0
tion, regarding them as not conducive to ,
either temperance or religion."
Not satislied with the discussion of the t
objections to liquor, the saloon smasher in c
her speech proceeded to denounce waltzing n
in unmeasured terms, declaring It to be a n
leading Immorality, and also condemned .
President Roosevelt and the District Commitssioners
for not putting a stop to the
liquor traffic in the District. Many of the n
members of the order were Indignant at c
Mrs. Nation's remarks, especially when she ?
told them that Washington Is a cesspool
of vice, and that the President of the United 8
States and the District Commissioners are ?
not doing their duty when they allow saloons
to be licensed. |
Speeches condemning Mrs. Nation's talk
were delivered by High Tent Chief Ruler
^umcii, i-aBL ni^Ji xeiii xvuier ivioore, fast
High Representative of the High Tent
I-e8trange and other officers.
Although Onward Tent has condemned 1
Mrs. Nation's speeches, not all of the Rech,
abite tents of the District have taken such b
. action. It is said she will speak on the ?
t evils of Intemperance in Convention Hall
Sunday, under the auspices of the Qospel c
' Mission and some of the Rechabite tents of _
the District. Two meetings will be held?' l
i one at 2:30 p.m. for men and boya only, and

Rebuilding Pier at Fort Hunt.
The work of rebuilding the big pier at
Fort Hunt, Va., was begun this morning,
the wharf-repairing plant of Carter & Clark
at this city having been taken down to the
fort to do the work. The hundred or more
piles which are to be useff in rcraklnir the
repairs to the wharf were towed up to the
fort yesterday from Aquia creek, Va., by
the tug J. O. Carter. It is proposed, It is
said, to replace the unsound piles under
the pier with new ones, and to replace
stringers and caps where needed, so that
the pier will be good for a year or two
more of active service. It is the purpose of
the officers of the quartermaster's department,
who have charge the pier, to replace
it with a new one as soon as money enough
to do the work is available. As has been
heretofore stated the Fort Hunt pier Is over
a half mile in length, the longest on the
Potomac. Except for the United States
army tug Cushing, landings are seldom
made at it by steam vessels.

From Skin Disease from Birth Until
Six Years Old ? Father Spent
Fortune on Her Without Benefit
?Old Doctor Suggested Cuticura,
which Cured Her in Two
Months, Leaving
o
SKIDS SOFT AS A MOT'S
All WOTIMT A SEA?
o
"I have a cousin In Rockingham Co. who once
had a skin disease from her birth until she was
six /ears of age. Her father had spent fortune
on her to get her cured and none of the treatments
did her any good. Old Dr. G suggested that
he try tlie Cutlcura Remedies, which he did. When
he commenced to use it the child was almost In a
solid scab. He bad used It about two months and
the child was well. I was there when they commenced
to use your Cutlcura Remedies. I stayed
that week and then returned home and stayed two
weeks and then went back and stayed with them
two weeks longer, and when I went home I could
hardly believe she was the same child. Her skin
was as soft as a baby's, without a scar on It. I
have not seen her In seventeen years, but I have
heard from her. and the last time I lipnr/i rmm
her she was well. That Is where I became acquainted
with Cuticura. I hope this may be of
some service to you in the future. Mrs. W. P.
Ingle, Burlington, N. C., June 16, 1905."
