STARTLING EXPOSURES MADE
Regarding the Prevalence of Drunkenness
Amo~ Aristocratic Ladies, Many on
the Verge of the Tremens.

LONDON. Oct. IA sharp and probably
salutary shock has been given high social
circles by the startling exposure in regard
to the prevalence OF drunkenness among
the arisIocratic ladies made by Lady Fred
erick Cavendish and the Duchess Of Bed
ford. AT q church congress Lady Fred
erick Cavendish said she had been recently
staying at a country mansion where
roomy dining chairs are still used, the
seats of which are deeply curved to save
gentlemen from falling out after dinner
and that although heavy drinking has been
abandoned by the men the women were
becoming iuveterate tipplers. Many
ladies have recourse to s'Pick me ups"
and eleven q. N. brandy and SODA and
during the day WINE at dinner and some
thing hot at bedtime. She knew
a young lady VINO could not
get through the London season
without taking cordial kept
handy at tea. and after a cei tain morning
concerts lady Frederick beside her had
called for "yhite cup" a depraved name
for champaign cup.
Lady Cavandish protested especially
against tbs new fashion of young ladies',
and old ones too, accompanying ntlemen
to the smoking room after DINER and shsr-
ing not only cigars but also spirits She
said distinguished physician had assured
her that many ladies living idle lives con-
suited him for nervous symptoms which
revealed condition OF s.cotsolism border:
! ing on deieriuEl tremeDs. But alcohol was
not the only fashionable failing as choral,
chiorodine anu morphine is taken in Sc
crecy in boudours, and were adding to the
maadies of modern life
| The Duchess Of Bedford, taking up the
| theme, put blame for these evils on the
straining of nerve power through supposed
exigent demands of society until the
nerves required a flip. The argument Of
the necessity of stimulation she said af
forded but the very slightest protection
/ against The temptation. The real remedies
was the avoidance of mischievors forms Of
excitement, together with total abs Thence.
The duchess maintained That 'modera
ton" was very elastic term and would
not meet tina evils like abstinence.
1t was serious thing she SAID
for the Christian workers pledged
to fight the drinking practices of society
to reject the practice OF abstenence, and
she besought everybody Interested TO
avoid the banter and jester too commonly
USED in reference to the greatest evil of
modern life.
The wife of Archbishop Benson, Sir
William Hergchell, Dean OF Rochester and
others continued on 8 similar strain. The
whole topic is deeply stirring social elete.

CRIFIclzlNG STEVENSON.

fhe Secretary of the Treasury Makes a
speech at Frederick, Nd.
FREDERICK, Md, Oct. 7.-When Hon.
and party arrived tonight, they were given
a most vociferous reception. They were
escorted to the big hall by big procession.
The secretary In the course OF his speech
took up the Democratic charge that the
treasury was bankrupt, especially ortiz
cising vice-presidentisl candidate Steven
son for gross ignorance on The question.
It Stevenson is not ignorent said the sec

has redeemed and paid off 1853 093, $50 of
its debt wiIh saving in interest by the

eminent to pay fifty millions of ~ per

says we could not pay. The holders of
more than seventy-tive millions OF ihese
bonds requested that they be continued at
| 9 per cent, and tlis administration enjoys
the favorable position of saving placed
government loan at lower rate Of inter
est and on 9 more advantageous position
than any government on earth. The re-
naming sevenry-tive millions of debt hss
! been paid.
| The Democratic leaders announced that
! on the fifty second Congress they would
reduce appropriations hundred millions
| from those OF the billion dollar Congress,
but they discovered this was billion dol
lar country and after sill they said in de-
nunciation Of the billion dollar Congress
they were not only unable to reduce
the appropriations s1O0000,00 but actually
increased them 10000, COO. Notwithstand-
ing these enormous appropriations this
Congress crippled the public service in
many branches by lacK Of adequate pro-
visions.
For more than eighteen months the Deul-
ocratic cry OF bankrupt has been kept go
| ing, but at all times the treasury has
promptly met every obligation of tne gov
eminent. The revenues are increasing at
the rate of s3,000,000 per month over las,
| year. or course there's increase of ex-
penditures owing principally to payments
! for pensions. bus the first three mont tbs OF
the year show net gain in cash Of IS, 203,

tariff reciprocity, etc, and referring tc
the state bank plank in the Democratic
platform gave from personal experience o

cat system Of old.
| Speaking of the international monetary
| conference, he said II am in possession

ton Will be taken by the conference as will
result in satisfactory solution OF the
vexed silver question. Being bi-metallist
myself and earnestly desiring that silver
shall take it's place beside gold, do no,

many dead on the field, including twenty
Amszons. Five Europeans were killed
and twenty-three wounded. Three Sene-
galese allies were killed ana thirteen
wounded.
Another dispatch from Porte NOv0 says
the ba tie waged three hours. The force
OF the Dahomeyans comprised 5000 male
soldiers and Amazons with six breech-
loading guns. Both sides fought fercely,
the Anszons being particularly noticeable
for bravery. After the enemy were driven

number of shells marked ''Krupp." King
Bahanzin commanded the Dahomeyans in
