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 stand- ards. The Star recently published 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 whe certain 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, Baltimore, 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 ts positively nothing wrong. A lady can be a lady in a beer garden, store, parlor, church or on a boat. 1 am a nice young lady, of good family and fine sur- roundings, 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 think- eth. I like beer, and have been to that Washington beer garden and my friends frequent there. That is nothing detrimen:- 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 js tolerated in other ee foams Ae be re? I hope Dr. So and So will see this. ee z YOUNG LaDy. In 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 writes: “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 contamina- 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, ‘Well, this makes me tired.’ No one denies that you can £o to any place in the United States and find beer gardens—you can go to dives of the jJowest type and find in them persons claiming to be ladies and gentlemen, but does that justify a young woman assert- ing herseif 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- bauchery? ‘A lady can be a lady in a beer garden, store, parlor, etc.,’ but is that a valid reason for her deliberately thrusting herself amid contaminating influences when it is not necessary, and where she knows it subserves no good, to herself or her com- panions. My dear girl, you cannot touch pitch without being defiled, and no one 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 m every case, be- hind your back, speak slightingly, of you, and, by innuendo, asperse your good 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 Celight 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 ir’ A Difference in Beer Gardens. Another correspondent takes issue with “Young Lady” in the following sentences: “In the article headéd ‘A Young Eady and Beer,’ publisted in a recent edition of The Star, it is plainly seen that the ‘Young Lady’ has a very poor idea of how a ledy of good family should conduct herself. “The fact is admitted that refined and re- spectable people visit a summer garden at Atlantic City to hear the excellent music rendered there by the band, but do they 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 and 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 know of many respectable people who like beer about as much, I presume, as the ‘Young Lady,’ but I have never known them to attend Weshington 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 honor her as only true ladies are respected and hcrored. If she will take a little advice, let her heed this little advice “FROM ONE WHO HONORS AND “RESPECTS TRUE WOMANHOOD.” Plain 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 difver with the doctor upon one point only, that is, he seems to denounce the bicycle as the sole cause of these visits. Now, in my opinion, the young girl bicyclist who fre- quents such @ 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 recessary to drink beer because you ride a wheel. I ride a bicycle, 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- ler, store, or on a boat, but I hardly think the title of lady applicable to a frequenter ot beer gardens, and if Dr. M. C.'s state- ment is correct, which I do not doubt, judg- ing from the pitiable conditions to which intoxicating Hquors have caused so many to fall, I think a great many others wiil agree that this is not the place where one would pet to find what this person claims to be, a young lady of good family and fine surroundings.” A Case From Real Life.

A. in The’Star’ of Jast week with deep interest. I have an incident for the young lady who wrote in reply. Some years ago I knew a charming young girl of this city. Her parents were plain but excellent people, members of a well-known church in our northwest sec- ticn. 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 int mate with a family who kept a saloon near he chu: Visiting said family with hi young wife, she scon began to sip with them. the ‘friendly’ glass of beer. With ew habit, dissensions arose between the pair. One day there was a quarrel. In her excitement or despondency she tha evening visited with some young man the Scheutzen Park, the noted beer gardc 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 ili-repute, A beautiful little boy, left with the father, Gied in a few months, saved by a_ good Providence from a lifelong shame. I saw her about a year afterward. She had come home to see her old father die. She told ie of her mental agonies, of the wretched- ness of those associated with her in h evil life. How many of them would gladly lead better lives, but ‘society frowned them Gown—all avenues seemed closed.” Lurged her to try. She made an effort; remained with her aged mothe It seemed to her hopeless. Her old acquaintances gave her the ‘cold shoulder.’ I saw her at a church picnic by the side of her mother. No one 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 way 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 rot the parents of wheeling giris 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, say: “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 quarter 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 ecmpany 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 morally strong enough to withstand the temptations that beset them while traveling separate from their fami- les and away from home.’ Now, this being true of men, is there not some cause for concern in this daily and nigntly 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, wkich she today forfeited in the Police Court, and the case was dismissed. The assault grew out of a family quarrel.

ESTIMATES AS 70 THE ~ VOTE How a Democratic Statistician Figures the Result. +2 THE REPUBLICAN VIEW Speclal Correspondence of The Evening Star. CHICAGO, IIL, September 1, 1896. It may be said that opposing forces ere lined up in Illinois now. Capt. Tanner, the republican candidate for governor, opened his campaign at Breeze some days ago, and 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 admin: tion 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 Fo 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 charges, 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. ld men say th no reply at all, while republican re that the best— i worsi—democ n say of cach other and that Altgeld and Forman are tarred with the same stick. ‘The Times-Herala, which man’: @ republican is bolting Tanner, charges that Alt and was caught pape says that For id borrowed state ‘shy’ several thous- and when Treasurer Ramsay, the defauli- er, died, may be true, but, alas, Tanner can say nothing, for, while it is merely alleged that Altgeld guilty of the o fense, it has been proved beyond doubt that Tanner committed the same crime while auditor of the state.

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 mo: 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. The impression has become so broadcast that when our THE BEST NATURAL APERIENT WATER.

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 declared that the Tau- beneck-Tayler_crowd have gone over to the enemy. What effect this movement will have cannot be predicted until Sep- tember 16, 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 populists 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 Result. 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 426,251 and Mr. Harri- Son 399,288, while the combined vote of the Populist and prohibition candidates was 48,077, leaving Cleveland about 10,009 short of an actual majority over all competitors. “A few minutes’ study of the returns of 1s2 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 Cleveland's plurality was only 3 four years ago, it would have been close on to 5,4) had Weaver's vote of 22,- 207 been thrown to the successful candi date. Again, Mr. Bryan will draw heavily on the prohibition vote. Not that he is a prohibitionist, but because of bis free sil- ver views. As far back as 1880 the prohi- bition party was committed to an expan- sion of the currency, and while its idea is the inhibition of Liquor sellin members, in the nature of things, will be more or less iniluenced by the general cam- paign of education that is now 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 59,793 votes, an increase of nearly 200 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 50,40 voters must have changed their minds since 182 in or- r to give the electora. vote of Mlinois to McKinley. This is an average of alout 500 to a county Another View. But republican authorities declare that it is unfair to base calculations this year op FINANCIAL. T. E.
