DISCUSSED FROM SEVERAL NEW POINTS Testimony of Correspondents Who Have Watched Such Things. TEMPTATIONS AWHEEL —_—.__. The question of whether young women of respectability should drink beer in pub- lic gardens threatens to be the subject of a discussion only second in interest to that inspired by the clash of the money stauu- ards. The Siar recently pubiished a com- munication in which the writer called at- tention to the fact that a certain public garden was patronized by young women and girls in bicycle costumes who had stopped in after wheeling to drink beer, and expressed the opinion that such a cus- tom was somewhat reprehensible when ceriain of the surroundings and the char- acter of some of the other patrons of the place were considered. This card brought forth a spirited re- joinder from a correspondent who signed | herself “Young Lady.” In order to fully acquaint readers with the Issues in the controversy that contribution is republish- ed. It read as follows: A Young Lady and Beer. To the Editor of The Evening Star: I was very much amused at an article in your paper a few days ago referring to a beer garden in this city. Well, this makes me tired. You can go in any city in the United States and find such places, for in- stance, Baltimere, New York, Philadelphia and Atlantic City, frequented by nice peo- ple. I have been there, both in this and in other cities. There is only one here, and in other cities they have any number of them. It is positively nothing wrong. A lady can be a lady in a beer garden, store, parlor, church or on a boat. I am a nice young lady, of good family and fine sur- rounlings, know right from wrong, as well as Dr. So and So, and I dare any one man or woman to ccme to my face and say otherwise. Evil to those that evil thi eth. I like beer, and have been to that Washington beer garden and my friends frequent there. That is nothing detrime al to the girls. Do you think so? I ride a wheel, consequently visit the same, and I must say I haven't seen or heard anything that I should not hear or see. Further- more, when a young lady goes away to Atlantic City or New York she visits such places and nothing is thought of it. Now, why can’t she do it at home, in the midst of old friends and neighbors? Now, this is tolerated In other cities: can t it ve e? I hope Dr. So and So will see th nevee ney YOUNG LaDy. Is She Justified. In a letter to The Star, Mr. David C. Bangs of 1019 9th street northwest takes occasion to reply to the above. He write ‘Shakespeare has aptly said, ‘so full of artless jealousy is guilt It spills itself in fearing to be spilt,’ and the ‘young lady’ has revealed the effect of the contami tion of beer gardens In almost the first sen- tence of her letter to your paper yesterday, entitled ‘A Young Lady and Beer,” when she—a lady—descends to the slang of the streets in her expression, me tired.” No cne de! to any place in the Un beer gardens—you can go io d lowest type and find in them persons claiming to be ladies and gentlemen, but does that justify a young woman assert- ing herself to be ‘a nice young lady, of good family and fine surroundings, know- ing right from wrong,’ in degrading her pure womanhood by placing her sweet presence amid the influences of sin and de- “A lady can be a lady in a beer baucher: garden, store, parlor, ete. valid reason for her delibe herself amid contaminacing it 1s not necessary, and where knows it subserves no good, to herself or her com- panions. My dear girl, rou cannot touch pitch without being defiled, and no oae can make a habit of drinking what was never intended by our Creator as a food or a stimulant, without steadily and surely lowering their own moral tone and throw- ing their self-respect to the winds. ‘Properly defining the meaning of ‘friends’ is more honored in the breach than in the observance. If your beer garden friends are men, they will, in most every case, be- hind your back, speak slightingly of you, and, by innuendo, asperse your goed name and give out an impression of you to other men at which your parents and you would blush. If these ‘friends’ are women, they will drink with you and chat, and straight- way go away and find delight in heaping calumny upon you. True, as you say, ‘evil to him that thinketh evil,’ but when we see what is acknowledged by all the world to be evil, how can we think but evil of itr” A Difference in Beer Gardens. Another correspondent takes issue witli “Young Lady” in the following sentences: “In the article headed ‘A Young Lady and Beer,’ publisted in a recent edition of The Star, it 1s plainly seen that the ‘Young Lady’ has a very poor idea of how a lady of good faniily should conduct herself. “The fact is admitted that refined and re- spectable people visit a summer garden at Atlantic City to hear the exeellent music rendered there by the band, but do the drink there? I think if the ‘Young Lady’ will give a little thought to this question she will remember that those who do fre- quent the place and drink openly are not those who the better aad more refined class of people would care to associate with. Moreover, if she will take into considera- tion the standing of Schofflar’s and those summer gardens of large cities she will see the differerce between them in the way they are conducted and their character. “I krow of many respectable people who like beer about as much, I presume, as the ‘Young Lady,’ but I have never known them to attend Washington summer gar- dens, owing to the fact, I suppose, of their better tastes. It is true a lady can be a lady in any place, but true ladies generally try to attend places that tend to elevate them, and that do not tend to pull down their characters. And, further, if the ‘Young Lady’ wishes to retain her good name end uphold the good name of her family, let her drink her beer or whatever she likes in her own home, and those who know her will, as well as strangers, re- spect and Fonor her as only true ladies are respected and kcrored. If she will take a little advice, let her heed thts little advice ‘FROM ONE WHO HONORS AND “RESPECTS TRUE WOMANHOOD.” Flain and Straightforward Views. Still another subscriber sends in her views on the subject in the following words. “In your paper, a few days ago, appeared an article on beer drinking and bicycle riding, by Dr. M. C. A young lady, in an- swer to this, began by saying that she was very much amused-when she read it. I read the same article, and was not at all amused, but, on the contrary, was very much grieved to think that there is such a place as a beer garden in our city, and more grieved to learn that young girls visit it and indulge in beer drinking. I differ with the doctor upon one point ony, that is, he seems to dencunce the bicycle as the sole cause of these visits. Now, in my opinion, the young girl bicyclist who fre- quents such a place would find means of doing so even if she did not ride a wheel. It has never occurred to me that it is at all necessary to drink beer because you ride a wheel. I ride a bicycie, and certainly I have never felt any inclination to drink beer. As for the young girl who likes beer, and boasts of visiting beer gardens, 1 feel sorry for her. Certainly I agree with her that a lady can be a lady in a church, par- lor, store, or on a boat, but I hardiy think the title of lady applicable to a frequenter of beer gardens, and if Dr. M. C.’s state- ment fs correct, which I do not doubt, judg- ing from the pitlable conditions to which intoxicating liquors have caused so many to fall, I think a great many others will agree that this is not the place where one gould expect to find what this person claims to be, a young lady of good family and fine surroundings.” A Case From Real Life.

I have an incident for the young lady who wrote in reply. Some years ago I knew a charming young girl of this Her parents were piain but excellent people, members of a well-known church in our northwest s tien. The daughter was connected with the same church; had attended its Sunday school from early childhood. She married a young man who drank beer. He was inti. mate with a family who kept a saioon near the church. Visiting said family with young wife, she scon began to sip with them. the ‘friendly’ glass of beer. With her new habit, dissensions arose between the pair. One day there was a quarrel. In her itement or despondency she that evening visited with some young man the Scheutzen Park, the noted beer garden then kept near the end of 7th street. Mid- night found her in the power of some of its ‘habitues,” drunk. The very next day she entered a noted house of fli-repute. A beautiful little boy, left with the father, died in a few months, ved by a_ good Providence from a lifelong shame. I saw her about a year afterward. She had cone home to see her old father die. She toid ine of her mental agonies, of the wretched- ness of those associated with her in her evil life. How many of them would gladly lead better lives, but ‘society fro ed them down—aill avenues seemed closed. Uurged her to try. She made an effort; remained with her aged mother. It seemed to her hopeles: Her old acquaintances gave her the ‘cold shoulder.’ I saw her at a church pienic by the side of her mother. No on but the pastor and the school superinten- dent took friendly notice of her. They passed her by ‘on the other side” It made my heart ache with fear. Sure enough, she relapsed. For several years I have lost sight of her. She may have gone the w to death of the foolish woman. I ask girls who go to beer gardens without suspicion of evil to think before they go again. Had not the parents of wheeling girls better consider this matter well?” More Testimony. Another correspondent, after reviewing briefly the “Dr. M. A.’s” original state- ments and “Young Lady's” reply, says: “I have visited this garden myself. I saw and heard one young girl, still in her teens, call for and drink a mint Julep, while other girls were drinking beer and mixed drinks of various kinds. The good and the bad were indiscriminately mixed, and one well-dressed, _gentlemanly-appearing inan_ was noisily drunk. “There are other gardens of this sort in and about Washington; the bicycle has developed them, and bicycle parties fre- quent them at all hours of the day and night. I have met parties of well-dressed girls and young men, five and six miles distant from the city, whezling cut to these places after 10 o'clock at night. “There are other dangers resulting from the bicycling habit besides those that threaten our girls. Shortly after ‘the Di- v-sion’ was broken up last spring two at- tractive-looking young women from that quarier located near one of these gardens, in the suburbs, on a road largely frequent- ed by bicyclers. They are both expert wheelwomen. Being observed one day in ccmpany with two lads not over eighteen years of age, the question was asked them, ‘What ere you doing with those boys?’ ‘Oh,’ was the reply, ‘we catch them on the wheel out here.’ “A gentleman of wide travel and large experience once remarked in my presence, ‘Few men are mcrally strong enough to withstand the temptations that beset them while traveling separate from their fami- lies and away from home.’ Now, this being true of men, is there not some cause for concern in this day and nigatly wheeling of our boys and girls away from home, mixing with all sorts and conditions of men and women, after the free and easy manner of the road?” ——__ Forfetted Collateral. Mrs. Lulu Selby of Anacostia was arrest- ed yesterday on a warrant charging her with whipping her mother-in-law Tuesday night. She was released on $5 collateral, which she today forfeited in the Police Court, and the case was dismissed. The assault grew out of a family quarrel.

ILLINOIS’ OUTLOOK One of the Great Political Battlefields of the Year. ESTIMATES AS 10 THE ~ VOTE How a Democratic Statistician . Figures the Result. THE REPUBLICAN VIEW Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. CHICAGO, IL, September 1, 1896. It may be said that opposing forces ere lined up in Itinois now. Capt. Tanner, the republican candidate for governor, opened his campaign at Breeze some days ago, ang yesterday Governor Altgeld delivered his first formal address of the canvass at Girard. There was a street parade in the morning, and 5,000 people marched to the music furnished by two or three fife and ¢rum corps. The governor almost totally ignored the tariff question, talking three- fourths of the time on currency. The crowd was friendly, and he was repeatedly cheered to the echo. The governor's policy seems to be, if his Girard speech may be taken as an index to it, to ignore the charges against him that are of a personal nature, and to make the argument from a purely economic standpoint. He will not dwell upon the pardon of the anarchists or other incidents of his administration that have been ad- versely criticised, and have brought forth the accusation that he is a foe to law and order. The open letter of ex-Congressman For- man, which reflected on the personal honesty of the governor, was answered in an open letter to the writer, and there the matter rests. Mr. Altgeld contented him- self with a general denial of the ex-Con- gressman's chargé and then devoted a column and a half to the review of For- man’s career, undertaking to show that the taint of the lobby was on him at Wash- ington, and that he had been retired by his constituents because they distrusted him. Gold men say that this is no reply at all, while republicans declare that the best and worst—democrats cn say of each oth: is “You're another,” and that Altgeld and Forman are tarred with the same stick. The Times-Herald, a republican paper, which is bolting Tanner, says that For- man’s charges that Altgeld borrowed state funds, and was caught “shy” several thou: and when Treasurer Ramsay, the default- er, died, may be true, but, alas, Tanner can say nothing, for, while it is merely alleged that Altgeld was guilty of the of- fense, it has been proved beyond doubt that Tanner committed the same crime while auditor of the state. The pot, con- cludes the Times-Herald, has no right to call the kettle black. Altgeld’s Appeal. Governor Altgeld closed his speech with an eloquent appeal to the voter on behalf of the national ticket. “If you are not Satisfied with my stewardship,” he said; “if you consider me an unsafe man, then go into the booth and vote for Tanner, remembering at the same time your dvty to yourselves and to your country. Think of your home, of your wives and children, and cast a voie for Bryan and humanity.” Both national campaign committees are working with renewed energy on the inde- pendent suck elector now, It ts the simple truth ta say t the situation is so complicated that both sides are Scared out of their bocts. On the demo- cratic side Altgeld is tne absolutely con fident man, while the past week c’ose: without an optimist on the republ. d v t mn side. Uneasiness fs not simulated either in order to prevent overconfidence. So serious is the situation viewed from the republican viewpoint that Chairman Hitch of the state committee has been summoned to Canton, fer which place he left last night. The fact seems to be that the people—at least the people of Mlinois— are going to pass upon the currency quc tion for themselves. They are talking among themselves and listening to each other, instead of being talked at by and listening to the spellbinders. Unless the orator is of pretty large caliber the prom- ise of a set speech draws a very small crowd, but an argument between two citi zens will, if the police are not active, blockade the sidewalk in 2 few minutes, .A republican leader. speaking to The Star correspondent of Hitch’s visit to Can- ton, said: “He will impress upon Major McKinley the fact that as many speakers can be utilized in Illinois as the na- tonal committee can spare us, provided they are men of national repute. The People are not satisfied with the small fry this year.” The burning of Bryan in effigy at two points, wide apart Beographically, is wel- comed rather than ctherwise treated at democratic national headquarters. Chair- man Jones could not conceal his satisfac- tion from the correspondent, who talked to him a short while after he had been ad- vised of the Lincoln incident. ‘They have called us incendiaries and anarchists,” he said, “but it seems that they are the in- cendiaries of this campaign. The people will learn of the outrages and rebuke them on election day, that’s certain.” Short of Funds, The republican literary bureau is not rolling in wealth it seems, although re- Ported to have unlimited funds. One of the attaches said yesterday: “We are working on borrowed money, and the pros- pect of getting enough together to pay it back gets slimmer and slimmer every day. It was the expectation that this year the republicans would have plenty of money to run their campaign on.

A call has been issued by them to members of the People’s party of the state asking them to rally around a ticket of their own, as set- ting forth a sort of declaration of princi- ples in which it is ceclared that the Tau- beneck-Taylor crowd have gone over to the enemy. What effect this movement will have cannot be predicted until Sep- tember 15, when a state convention will be held and a ticket in opposition to the one named by the fusion forces at Springfield will be put up. Democrats and popillisis say that they are not afraid of the kickers und declare that they are simply ins‘ru- ments of Mark Hanna and will be consid- ered as such by the party throughout the state. The Rexult. A democratic statistician figures out the situation in Illinois this way: “At the last presidential lection 873,646 votes were cast in the state of Illinois. Of these Mr. Cleveland received 426,281 and Mr. Uarri- son 399,288, while the combined vote of the Populist and prohibition candidates was 48,077, leaving Cleveland about 10,00) short of an actual majority over all competitors. “A few minutes’ study of the returns of 182 can but benefit those who take an in- terest in politics. If these returns show anything, they show that with the popu- list and democratic forces allied it will take a tremendous reversal to transfer the state to the republican column. “While Clevcland’s plurality was only 26,993 four years ago, it would have been close on to 50,000 had Weaver's vote of 2 207 been thrown to the successful candi- date. Again, Mr. Bryan will draw heavily on the prohibition vote. Not that he is a probibitionist, but because of his free sil- ver views. As far back as 188) the prohi- bition party was committed to an expan- sion of the curreacy, and while its central idea is the inhibition of liquor selling, its members, in the nature of things, will be mcre or less influenced by the zencral cam- paign of education that is new in progress from one end of the country to the cther. “There is no question about the growth of populist sentiment in Illinois. The party’s candidate for treasurer two years ago polled 5,793 votes, an inc: of nearly 2 per cent in two years. There is good reason to believe that 75,000 cvowed believers in the Omaha platform will vote in this state next November. “From these figures It is a conservative statement to say that 50,0) voters must have changed their minds ce ANZ in or- der to give the electoral voie of ill! 3 to McKinley. This is an average of about 500 to a county.” Another View. But republican authorities declare that it is untair to base calculations this year op the foregoing figures. They confess that the populist vote for Rando'ph for treas urer in 1804 was cons "ly more than twice the vote polled for Weaver, but cn the other hand they’point to_the fact that Wulf, the republican candidace, had a ¢ majority over ail other ‘ion—a clear majority of 44.4 A very full vote for an off year was polied in 159 the aggregate being only 24,3) the presidential vote of 18 L ESTATE, COUNTY R Board of Asxexsors Have About Com- pléted Its Work.
