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
