The Horrible Death of an Unfortnnate Couple — Immersion in Cold Waters—High Steppers in Training. o Fashionable Society. New Youg, April 11.—[Correspondence of the B3ee.]—The extent to which the posses- sion of wealth forms a basis for the estimate 10 be put upon people, in the cyes of the world, is apparent everywhere, Iut in New York,particularly, is this standard set up and faithfully adhered to. The announcement has been made from an authority above ap. peal, that in this great metropolis there are only about four hundred people in ‘‘fashion able society.” To go outside of this social number one strikes people “who are either not at ease in a ball-room or else make other people not atjcase.” Yet there are many most cultivated and highly respectable, even dis. tinguished:Q Beyond the “fashionable” limit are found professional men, doctors, lawyers, cditors, artists and tho like. This careful division of “the like” from the sacred circle prevailed in Englund, as Thackeray showed in his old Osborne, who growled because his fashionable daughter did not invite him to meet the swells, but only when she had artists and literary people. Money will not admit into this exclusive society—'‘a fortune of n million being only respectable poverty.” 1f 400 persons avow themselves to be the cream and flower of the carth, and the world cpts them, then the world should not worry over its isolation. Perhaps, if the pretenses to extreme fashionable supremacy were carefully sifted, it would be found that the inherent reqairement is not what s above ified, but one more cffective—n amely, ck!

CONGRESSIONAL COCKTAILS, Public Servants Who" Look Upon the Wine When It is Red. / HARD DRINKING BN<THE WANE Members Who Puaufigly Advocate Prohibition and. Privately Wasmixaroy, April 12,—|Correspondence of the Beg.|—While the committee on the 1 t of Columbia onoth sides of the capitol are working over the production of a high license bill for application to the city of Washington, the restaurants of both houses continue to do a fairly profitable business in “eold t and ous other beverages of like character, However much the prohibi- tion sentiment may affect congressmen in their various districts, it seems to lose the grip on most of them when they are away from the eyes of their jealous and watchful constituents. 1t would'be far from the truth to say that a great number of members of either the house or senate are habitual users of alcoholic stimulents to excess, but a large proportion do not hesitate to “kiss the cup to pass it by,” and to occasionally crook the elbow with a visiting statesman or intimate friend. Social customs require the use wine at formal dinners, and the senators and representative who turn their glasses down when the corks begin to fly are not numerous enough to attract attention orto cause astonishment. 1tis painful to make this statement from the midst of a dis- trict which has been bombarded for three months past with petitions from every sec- tion of the union praying that it might be promptly placed under the ban of prohibition but such is the fact, and there isno use de- nying it. A reporter for a_local paper, who spends a large portion of his time in the sen- ate restaurant, has collected a number of statisti s to what these statesmen imbibe, from which I make a few extracts. The most constant attendant at the *“cold tea’ counter is Senator Riddleberger. His favorite throat tickler Bourbon whisky, which he occasionally varies with a pint bot- tle of yellow label. 'He takes his morning drink in bed and his final cup just before blowing out the gas. Between times he tones- up his system by copious hbations. As a con sequence he is now practically a wreck. His voice is tremulous and quavers. Heis un- unsteady on his feet, and his w! appear ance indicates the se of h ties. Riddleberger is a stead and is rare free from the influnce of ardent spirit: He has made many exhibi tions of himself on the floor of the senat while in an intoxicated condition, and terror to the presiding oficers, When Rid- dleberger is *‘drunk and disorde it is al- most impossible for business to proceed. He interrupts debates, m: stump speeches, offers irrelavent motions and is ready to fight any proposition from any side. At times it is practically useless to attempt to quict him, and on several occasions the senate has gone into executive session and closed the doors simply to rtain down on one of Riddleberger’s exhibitions. During the last congress it was in contemplation to pass motion expelling him from the senate, Rid- dleberger, who 18 nothing if not shrewd, got wind of it and promptly” squelched the move by threatening to rise in his seat and amend the motion, if made, by'including the name of Senator Edmunds. dinunds holds frequent communion in his committee room, where the side board is never_dry. At his lunch he usually treats himself to a small bottle of champagne. Tt is a standing remark that'the'‘amount of fluid which Senator Edmunds has imbibed can always be ascertained by watching the movements of his hand when he kes his seat in the senate. 1f. it is passed rapidly over his nose three or four tines it may st down as certain that the senator has taken from five to six' drinks.
