THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, MAT 10, 108. ,5 TIPPLE IN SOCIETY Use of Strong Drink by Women Is Growing in England. MIDDLE CLASSES SOBER Inebriety Increasing Only Among Women at Top and Bottom of Social Ladder Churchmen to Discuss the Evil. LONDON. May 3. In the habit of drinking and drug-taking Increasing among women? This Is one of the subject for dis cussion at the Pan-American Congress to be held in London in June, when bishops and representatives from all churches of the Anglican communion throughout the world are to assemble. Evidence as to the alleged Increase of female Inebriety ha been collected by the Women's Union of the Church of England Temperance Society, who sought for the valuable testimony ajid experience of the medical profession upon this important question. . A summary of the evidence of a large number of medical men may be tabu lated as under: First Fifteen write that among the middle class, nurses, echoolteachers, wives -of professional men, and many ethers, there Is a decrease. Second Eighty-eight doctors In fashionable practice speak of the In crease among the leisure and wealthy Third Ninety-three doctors working among the poor speak of the marked increase among workingwomen. More Educated Women Abstainers. The opinion is expressed that among educated women nurses, schoolteach ers and wives of professional men a much larger proportion are abstainers than formerly. Many others are almost abstainers. But among these the habit of self-rnedlcation, of constant resort to widely advertised remedies, many of which contain alcohol, has in some rases insidiously led to a tate for alcohol. The growing custom of taking tabloids, pillules, etc., often containing powerful poisons, is apt to develop the drug habit. The frequent taking of remedies, and especially of those made up according to prescriptions not recently given. Is severely condemned as a source of great danger to health. Among the causes of the danger are placed the facilities of purchase, the habit of lunching at restaurants and confectioners, and the licenses granted to grocers and chemists. These licenses are severely condemned. Causes of Increased Drinking. An eminent practitioner In the West End of London says: "I consider the principal causes of in crease In drinking In the upper classes: "The rapid life pursued in varied dis sipations which Involve late hours, 'ex citement from card-playing, etc. A neurotic state results, and a resort to alcohol in the early hours of the day. "The ready access to alcoholic stimu lants at grocers, confectioners and chemists. "Railway refreshment bars. "The growing habit of cigarette smoking." Another doctor says that drug-taking Is due greatly to wide advertise ments In religious and other papers of medicines and medicated wines, which create abnormal appetites, and pander to depraved morals. Inadequate rest and the desire to appear brilliant In spite of fatigue, says another West End doctor. "Eau de cologne drinking is exten sive and increasing," says a Liverpool medical report. FINED IN FRENCH COURT of the Khyber, in order to learn the terms of the. recent settlement with the Zakka Khels. According to the- usual custom, subsistance money was paid to the heads of the tribes to meet the cost of their food while In Peshawar. It seems that a dispute ..arose between the tribes men, and their maliks about the division of their subsistence allowance, and many of them, getting enraged, ruFhed off and began looting the shops near the Dubdari gate, where the Jirga had assembled. A number of them then found their way to a portion of the citj where the moneychangers sit with trays of money and coins. In front of them. The money changers, with their seats and trays, were quickly upset, and a wild scrimmage en sued for the scattered coins. In the mean time the news spread. The police closed many of the city gates, reinforcements sent down from the cantonment surround ed the city,- and a detachment of the Nineteenth Lancers was hurried down to assist in scouring the country and bring ing the men who were making off with the loot. These measures' did not terminate until a late hour, by which time some 60 of the Jirga men had been captured and locked up. A considerable amount of property was recovered. On one man was found a thousand rupees,, while another gray- bearded Afrldi was found to have 18 sov ereigns secreted on him, which he admit ted having looted. The total value of the property taken is believed to be about tsm. Fortunately the jirga men were all un armed, and caused no loss of life. One of them was shot by the police and two others were wounded. W. K. Vanderbllt Taught Lesson in Civil Government. PARIS, May . (Special.) Some time ago W. K. Vanderbilt, senior, who has a fine racing stable, and Is the owner of a trainer's ground at Les Orosillons. In the Polssy district, entered into nego tiations with the local mayor, as he wished to include some public paths In his property for Its improvement. Time wore on. and tired of all the dilatory formalities which had been keeping him in suspense, ' Mr. Vanderbllt had walls built, according to his plan, the conse quence being that the objectionable lanes were included In his estate. Horrified at this bold action, the mayor protested, but in vain, and a forester who was sent to make a formal demand for the restoration of the paths met with no more success. Mr. Vanderbilt explained that he was weary of waiting, and was prepared to pay any reasonable sura for the ground. but the mayor was firm, and the case was taken before the Poissy police court. Vainly was It argued on Mr. Vanderbilt's behalf that the sale of the bits of road had been promised, and that he only wanted to put down the money. Coun sel for tha municipality maintained that Its ground must be left intact, and the judge, adopting his view, condemned Mr. Vanderbllt to a fine of $3, while he has to restore the paths which he had rather prematurely annexed. MAULED BY A TIGER FEAR LADY WARWICK'S PEN GOVERNMENT WOULD PREVENT BOOK FROM APPEARING. Introduces "Official Secrets BUI,' Designed to Bar Publication of Her Rcminlscenses. LONDON, 'May 2. The panic created in royal and other exalted circles by the Countess of Warwick's promised book of reminiscences appears to increase, rather than abate,- which Indicates that all ef forts to induce or compel her to refrain from publishing them have failed. An extraordinary step has now been itaken by the government in Introducing specially stringent clauses Into "the of ficial secrets bill," which makes the pub lishing within 42 years of such episodes or documents as the Countess Is believed to intend to include in her book punish able as a criminal offense. The clauses are so far-reaching and op pressive that they have no chance of pass ing the House of Commons, however. The Introducing of them is only another at tempt In high quarters to frighten the Countess from her alleged project. However, there Is not the remotest chance of diverting her from her purpose by any such device. If she has made up her mind, her determination of character Is Inflexible. She regards herself as the chosen instru ment for exposing and destroying a class of which at one time she was the most brilliant ornament It is not supposed for a moment the Countess contemplates publishing any thing libelous; she simply intends to give a picture of the Idle luxury, ignorance, and Indifference of the ruling class in this HEILI G THEATER 14th AND WASHINGTON Bts.
