I“I.OW'ERS; NOT DRI-NKS, IN TANKARDS NEW YORK, June 14. The Salvation Ariny is -going into the saloon business, and will sliortly take over several public houses in l’hil:ldelpllia, which will be opened as "Sn.lvatioil Army saloons.” " Comma_ndel' Eva Booth, who is in charge of the latest development of the army’s work, believes that 50 per pent oflthe men who frequent saloons, or “tllil'st palaces,” as they are called, go there for coiiipniiy only. ’l‘wen~ty-five per cent have 3, real passion for alcohol, and the I'clna4indel', she thinks, use drinks as a means to forget their misery. The Salvation Army saloon will, therefore, be a bright, attractive place, which liabitues of tlie old-time 'thil's*t palaces will find an excellent substitute.
It is proposed to rehtain the bar, with its ztraditional brass rail. There will also be a lunch counter, which will be furnished with an unending supply of doughnuts, which have been a most popular delicacy in the American army during the war, an'(T \vhic‘h the commander thinks will form a powerful atTIME LIMIT FOR I-lUSBANDS.

Thus tankards will not disappear, but will be used to contain flowers, and charniing, but undraped nymphs, who adorn the walls of most of the existent establishinents, will have suit. able clothing painted on them, as may be necessary. ‘The most novel feature of the new model saloon will be the eviction of inarried men at .u certain hour, which has not yet. been fixed", but which will‘ be (leeided on as :1 time when virtuous husbands should be in the bosom of their families. l
