LADIES AS TIPPLERS.
Sensational Charges Against Eng

lands Aristocracy.
+ LONDON, Octobeo 8.-A sharp and
probably salutary shock has been given
to the highest social circles by tho start
ling exposures in regard to the preva
lence OF drunkenness among aristocratic
ladies made by Lady Frederick Caven
dish and the Duchess of Bedford at the
church congress.
Hitherto allegations of widespread
drinking practices among women OF
rank and fashion have been deemed
prejnaiced gossip; but nothing that ru-
NOR ever suggested equals the outspoke n
revelations made by these highly>placed
leaders OF society.
Lady Frederick Cavendish said that
she had been recently staying at coun-
Try mansion where roomy dining room
chairs were still used, the seats of which
We're deeply curved to save the gentle
men from falling out after dinner; that
although heavy drinking had been
abandoned by the men, the women were
isbecoming inveterate tipplers; that many
ladies have recourse to ''pick-me-ups"
at II a. NJ, brandy and soda during the
day, wine at dinner and something hot
at bedtime
She said she knew young lady who
could not get through the exertions of
the London season without taking a
cordial pretty name for dram,
kept handy at tea, and that after a Ger
tain morning concert a lady beside her
had called for a white cup" decep-
tive name for champagne cup.
BORDERING ON DELIRIUM TREMENs.
Lady Cavendish protested especially
against the new fashion of young ladies,
and old ones, too, accompanying gentle>
men to the smoking room after dinner
and sharing not only the cigars, but also
the spirits
She said that distinguished physi-
clan had assured her that many ladies
who were living idle lives had consulted
him for nervous symptoms, which re-
vealed, in perfect Inconsistencies on
their part, condition of alcoholism Dor
dering on delirium tremens. but that
alcohol was not the only fashionable
failing, as choral, ehlorodyne and NOR
phia were taken in secret in boudoirs
and were adding to the maladies of
modern life.
The Duchess of Bedford, taking up
the theme, put the blame for these evils
on the straining of nerve power, through
the supposed exigent demands of socie-
ty, until the nerves required flip.
The argument of the necessity of stimu-
lation, she said, afforded but the very
slightest protection against temptation
The real remedy was avoidance of miss
chievous forms of excitement together
with total abstinence
The duchess maintained that modera.
ton was a very elastic term and would
not meet the evils like abstinence. 1t
was serious thing, she said, for chris
tian workers pledged to fight the drink
ing practices of society to reject the
practice of abstinence, and she be-
thought everybody interested to avoid
the banter and jesting too commonly
used in reference to the greatest evil of
modern life
The wife of Archbishop Benson and
Sir William Herschell, the dean of Roch-
ester, and others continued in similar
strain. The whole topic is deeply stir

TENNYsoN's LIFE WORK.
A Glance at His Poems and Glimpses
or the Spirit Within.

or tne spirit Within.
Editor Post: The nineteenth century
is drawing to a close, and with it the
lives of the great men it has given US
From Macanley to Whittier they have
passed from us. one by one.
Tennyson is dead. The grand old
man, who for SO long has held the love
and veneration of humanity, has breath
cd out the last Of his noble eighty-three
years.
took down my copy of his poems
this morning and ran over the pages
with mingled emotions. He has been
with the most of us all our lives as the
one great man living contemporaneously
with his fame; it will be hard to look
upon his name as belonging also to the
past.
Thirty, or perhaps forty years ago,
when I'm Memoriam" first appeared in
print, and was bitterly attacked by the
local papers, one of the best literary
critics wrote: "The day will come when
the slow, sure judgment of time shall
give to Tennyson his undisputed place
among the English poets as true one
of rare merit and originality" proph
esq we have seen gloriously fulfilled
Not with the calm philosophy of
Wordsworth does our poet look down
from the cold and solitary mountain
height upon humanity, alone in his
grandeur; nor with the self-isolating
genius OF Byron pour forth incompre-
hensible emotions. Tennyson is one
with the multitude. When he utters
the JOY or sorrow of his breast it is in a
language that all may understand; it is
for all men that he speaks; it is for the
voiceless ones that he has left an elo'
quence which ma fittingly be termed q
safety valve for the heart" How
many have turned to "In Memoriam"
for the soothing of its exquisite tender
ness. Here is a friendship such as one
reads Of like that Of Damon and Pythias
or David and Jonathan, "a love pass
ing the love of women and yet not one
sentiment is overstrained. The ever
recurring refrain:
"'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at ALL"
Breaks in like sweet minor note upon
the wall of bereaved affection, while for
the doubts of despairing sorrow he
pleads forgiveness in that noble prayer;
"Strong Son of God, immortal love" &c.
Again, it is the mystery of existence in
the 1.-TWO Voices.' Against the promp-
ting to suicide the better impulse of the
poets nature responds in accents of the
most elevating and submissive philoso-
ply, while he shrinks from casting in
endless shade what seems SO wonderfully
made
Idly turn the pages of the Princess"
that medley of the sweetest suggestions
of imagination. Each little song is a
separate gem, while the destiny of
woman, her ambition and dissatisfaction
are handled with a gentle irony, till,
casting aside the disguise of ridicule,
Tennyson utters his own lofty concep-
tions of woman's sphere, most beauti-
fully expressed in that Incompatible
smile:
The Valley Virginian. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1865-1895, 1892-10-20
"Until at last she set herself to man,
like nerfect 1nusic INTO noble words


Like perfect music unto noble words"
Next paused over the familiar "Idylls
of the King" which have rendered Ar
thur and his Knight of the Round Table
immortal. The mighty heart-throbs OF
the poet shape themselves in living
words as he pictures this ideal OF lofty
purity and devoted affection, Arthur.
How real his grief over the lost Guine-
we're! Who has not seen new charm
in nature from hearing the Talking
Oak" describe his delicate attentions to
the fair girl asleep beneath the shadow
of it's boughs, now letting fall a stray
sunbeam here and there to touch her
beauty. and as twilight approaches,
dropping dews upon her golden head,
an acorn in her breast
Once more his mood is changed with
the lengthend measure. No longer fol-
lowing the guidance of lightsome fancy,
it is in solemn strain and with stern
appreciation of the moral law the poet
points to the decision between "Love
and Duty" As read my spirit is ele>
waited to that world of eternal right and
loneliness. I close the volume and the
shadow of our recent loss closes around.
o not thus should we yield him to that
higher realm which his soul in all its
rich completeness is fitted to enter. In
"Crossing the Barr he himself has
taught the feeling with which to view
his departure.
Inthe darkening shadow of age Tenny-
son has written his own farewell psalm:
CROSSING THE BAR.
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When Iput out to sea.
But such tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound or foam
When that which drew from out the boundless
deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that tho dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell
When I embark.
For tho from out the bourne Of time and place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When have crost the bar.

fire department. which has been organized
with Heber Boden as chief and thirty-two
members upon the roll. Last Tuesday.

much pleased with the courteous treat
ment he received at Brigham. Wednesday

department went to Ogden to receive full
instructions as TO how fire department. is

are very much obliged to Mr.. Rhodes for
the pains he took in explaining every
thing to-them.
The contract for the erection OF the
Knudson s. Wilson building was let to
Woods 81 Smith of Ogden. Some dissatis
faction is manifested because our local
builders were not preferred When the
building is completed (Which will be some
time before snow fRlls) it will represent a
capital of about Sl3, 050.
The Pioneer day will be celebrated in a
great style at Brigham. tbs fire boys are
making some extraordinary preparation
for great turn out on that day.

equipped fire department, ETC., is fast be-
coming one of Utah important cities.

court q few days ago in the case Of Annett
a. Thompson vs. William Garland. The

which il was instituted are something ike
this:
William Garland is heavy contractor,
ana he secured large contract for the
building Of portion Of the great Bear
River canal Garland sublet the contract
10 Annett a. Thompson. The provisions Of
the contract from the company 10 Garland
stipulated that the regularly employ ed en-
gineer Of the company was TO make all

with the sub contractors WAS practically a

The Canal company then appealed the
case to the supreme court, which also COM
PEELED Garland to appeal the case against

case Of Garland VS.. the Canal company.
The judgment against Garland had &C
crued about $1,000 interest, and believing II

SWAMPs

Are not the only abode of malaria. You
find il every where, even in localities where
atmospheric and sanitary conditions would
seem TO be unfavorable TO its development.
The universal remedy for and preventive
of the dire complaint is Hostetter's Stom-
ach bitters. Wherever the malady as
sumes it's most virulent form, and whether
il be chills and fever, bilious remittent,
dumb sgue or ague cake, the Ditters is
most popular and constitutes the best
means of protection and cure. From
Maine to the Isthmus of Panama in Guate-
mala, Mexico, South America and the
tropics this truly famous medicine has
won golden opinions from all conditions
and classes in more than a metaphorical
sense. For debility, Indigestion, constipa-
ton, rheumatism insomnia. neuralgia, liver
and kidney trouble 1t is highly efficacious.
Use il with persistence.

DRAPER.
4 Republican Rally Whereat
Cannon and Devine Spoke.
Campaign Measurements Cleverly Shown up
and Jisprovfd by documentary
Evidence.

MIR. L. J. Cannon and Mr.. Devine spoke
to full house Wednesday night at Draper.
Mr.. Cannon opened bis argument with
and continued to make reckless misstste-
ments, which might have been passed by
or swallowed down had he been talking to
an audience of moss-backed Ohio Republic
can farmers. Among the statements he
made was that "the price of tiDplate is
cheaper in the United States today than it
was before the Mckinley bill was passed. I"
MIR. d. O. Rideout. ir.. superintendent of
the Draper coop, stepped iuto the store
and returned to the meeting and called the
attention OF the speaker to the fact that he
held In his hand the invoices of hardware
bought of a Chicago firm. the first bearing
date OF May l, 1890, and containing an item
OF Twelve dozen six-quart |. G. plain dairy
pans al G3 cents d dozen-$1.56; the second
invoice bearing date of June %, 1892, con-
tanning an item OF twelve dozen six-quart
|. G. plain dairy pans at 6S cents per
dozen-SS.l6, showing that after the lapse
of more than two years in which time the
prlceshould have greatly declined the price
is per cent. higher.
Mr. Cannon claimed that he did not refer
to manufactured tin but 10 tin plate.
ME. llueOut rem nueu MIN LnaI the PRICE
OF manufactured tin is controlled by the
price of the tin plate as tin pans are gener
ally made of tin plate.
Another statement made by Mr.. Cannon
was that 1.-The production of sugar in y tab
had toe effect of causing the price of that
article to decline 1919 cents per sack as
soon as the Utah sugar was put upon the
market, thus having the effect of giving
the Utah laborer his sugar cheaper.
Mr.. Rideout Offered to show the
speaker an invoice of sugar bought about
two months before the Utah factory placed
their sugar on the market, at s5.s2A per
sack and defied Mr.. Cannon to prove that
the Utah factory had ever met that price
Mr.. Cannon said ''he did not know anything
aboutit but he had been told that was the
case"
Not satisfied with the above misrepre-
sensations. Mr.. Cannon solemnly declared
that il the present tariff of IL and
~ cents was taken from wool our
wool growers could not sell their wool in
Utah for 3 cents per pound. The gentle
man forgets that average unwashed wool
sells in Liverpool lowest price 81 cents,
highest price % cents. The cost of trans
portation must be from IS to % cents per
pound to make his figures correct; but
such statements are too absurd to notice.
The meeting had the result of making
the Democratic party in Draper more
solid than before.
