PARKHURST TO AID SALOONS.

New York Fa.tor l'rge» Sale of Beer on Sunday. New York dispatch: Rev. Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst came out today un: eservedly for Sunday opening of saloons during certain hours. An abstainer himself, he feels that other people have a right to their pleasure and recreation, even if they care to take it in a saloon. “Yes,” said he, “I am for Sunday opening of the saloons. I should bar whisky and liquors, but let the people have beer and light wines. A man who wants whisky on Sunday can keep it at home. People cannot have draught beer on tap in their houses. I consider the Germans as a most valuable part of our population. They want their Sunday beer with their families. Once we can convince the Germans that we are for their ideas regarding Sunday beer and we will have them with us in our fight against indecency.”
