WIDOW OF FREMONT.
Still Retains a Lively Interest in
the Active World.
Lives Happily in a Dainty Cottage
In Los AngeIes-Mem Ories of the
Days When She Was
Social Leader.

One of the points of interest in Los
Angeles, southern California, is the
Fremont cottage, given by the women
of California to Mrs. Jessie Benton

mont, known as the Pathfinder be-
cause of the important part he took in
the acquisition and development of
California.
The cottage is surrounded by beau
tiful grounds, and the interior is
charming with fine old furniture,
souvenirs of foreign travel and relics
belonging to Gen. Fremont. Mrs. Ere
mont's life has been exceptionally full
of incident, much of it being of histor-
zeal interest. as she is over 20. and has
been until late years associated with
the best political and social circles of
Washington and Europe, her father
having been United States senator for
30 years.

to the prince de Joinvlle, the son of
the King of the French" who Wis
tied Washington in 1S41. when Tyler
was president and Webster secretary
of state; also, the functions given in
honor of Lord and Lady Bulwer (the
latter, it may be remembered, was
niece of the duke of Wellington), who
came over direct from England in a
man-of-war with a whole legation,
only dropping anchor in the Potomac.
Attached to this legation was the
young author of Lucille afterward
known as viceroy of India.
While in Europe in 1852 and 1853 Mrs.
Fremont's life was full of interest,
from her first evening out in Lonslon
at the town house of the duke of North
cumberland, through long list of bril-
liant functions. In Paris she wit
messed the entrance of Louis Napoleon
as emperor, for, although her parents
had opposed her marriage to poor
lieutenant" John s. Fremont early ac-
quired distinction.
The eliminating point in Fremonts
life was his candidacy for the presi-
dency in 1856. He was the first repub-
lican candidate for president and Mrs.
Fremont was prominent factor in the
campaign. When the war came and
Fremont distinguished himself by free
ing his slaves, Mrs. Fremont was in
sympathy with his action; when he re-
fused to serve under Pope she upheld
him; when their life was beset with
poverty and suffering she shared ad-
versity with patience.
In her old age, says the New York
Tribune, Mrs. Fremont still retains her
interest in the active world, and the
many persons of distinction who visit
Los Angeles seldom fail to pay their
respects to her.

GREEN TERROR OF FRANCE
Absinthe, the Drink That Is Enslnv-
ing the Nation and Running 1t
body and Soul.

When the French house of deputies
passed a bill recently which forbids
the manufacture or sale in France of
absinthe and other alcoholic liquors
which are pronounced dangerous" by
the Academy of Medicine, it recognized
the terrible spread of the green ter
Tor," which is said to be responsible
for the great increase in insanity and
other similar Affections among the
French people. Since 1894, as was
pointed out in the chamber of deputies,
the amount of absinthe consumed in
France has doubled, tin eaching the
amount of $1,000, 900 litres. or nearly TO-
O60,0 quarts annually. This amounts
to one quart of absinthe to each three
inhabitants, including men, women and
children. In Paris the reports of the
ministry of finance show that there is
an absinthe seller to every three build
ings in the metropolis. Already the
green terror has killed many of the
brilliant men of the country. Guy de
Maupassant Alfred de Musset. Baude-
laire, who translated Poe's works into
French; Theodore Barriere. Andre Gill
the artist, and a host of other men of
letters and of genius burned their
brains away with the green flame and
died miserable deaths. Even four years
ago, before the habit had reached half
its present strength, Henri Rochefort
started a crusade against its use. In his
appeal to the people he said: "Ab-

Just then the Woman who Could Not

DRINK QUESTION IN INDIA.
Becoming n Serious One According
to Sundar Singh Bhatia,
of That Country.

At the worlds temperance con-
gress "A paper on the above topic was
read by Sundar Singh Bhatia, chair
man of the Zafarwal Temperance So
ciety. The consumption of drink in
India" says the author, is fearfully
on the increase among all classes, and
signs of general deterioration are
becoming apparent every day
He then takes a brief survey of the
teaching of the various religions of
that land, from which we Gull the
following:
The intoXicants are prohibited by
the Koran, and are therein described
as sins" and ''acts of the devil"
\ few words now as to custom and
tradition. which so long enforced the
above precepts. Tradition has pre-
served a saying which shows the hor-
ror in which intoXicants used to be
held. We are told: THE man who
even touches by his feet the broken
pieces of an earthern wine-can,
throws seven of his paternal ancestors

Prompt exclusion from caste used
to be the penalty for drinking.
The teachings did not confine them
selves to mere personal abstinence,
but the liquor traffic also came in for
The Kalals, or the publican class,
came to be regarded as a low and
disreputable class in the community,
with whom eating and mixing were
absolutely interdicted.
1t now remains only to add a few
words as to the duty of religion. We
must all appeal to the Almighty to
open the eyes of our brethren who
are falling from their former posi-
ton, and especially the class which
acted as the counsellor, guide and
friend of the people in this land.
But the people of England must
also share the blame. As Dean Far
rar said: "The bottle has everywhere
accompanied the Bible" and has in
India, at any rate, made this curse of
mankind a popular and respectable
companion, that which the Indian civ
ilization thought to be low and dis
reputable. We acknowledge that they
| are doing us good now and are CRATE
full, but l appeal with confidence to
the representatives of the cause in
this congress assembled, to help us
in stemming the tide ere it is too
late. viii they not heed this appeal
from a distant land, peopled with fell
low-subjects of the same crown-the
poorest in the whole civilized world,
yet with the milestone of drink round
their neck? Famine is attracting at

help against the common foe will not
go in vain.

Tortoni's famous cafe was in the old
days the resort of coterie of writers
and artists who came there before the
dinner hour to drink their absinthe.
For many years the green liquor was
drawn from the same old barrel, which
was periodically filled with absinthe

and his disordered brain was filled for
months with the weirdest and most ter
rifying dreams and visions.
Alfred de Musset. the poet, became
such a devotee to the green terror that
he made no effort in his later years to
stop its use. Regularly night after
night he went to his cafe and sat there
consuming glass after glass. until he
was in such a condition that he was
often picked up unconscious on the
streets.
During the Paris exposition, just
over, there was an example of the mad
freaks of an absinthe fiend. which for
a moment startled thousands of people
President Loubet was driven in his
carriage TO the exposition grounds,
surrounded by cuirassers. when a
wild-eyed man broke from the crowd
on the sidewalk, tore his way through
the line of soldiers and threw himself
at the door of the presidents carriage.
All who looked on thought him an an
archist and were certain that he was
about to assassinate the president. In
stead, however. of making any hostile
demonstration he simply tossed an en-
velope into the carriage. 1t contained
the photograph of his niece. He was

many phases of an absinthe drunkard.
1t would be unpleasant reading to
detail the manner in which most of the
devotees of the green terror come to
their death. One of the early effects
of absinthe is to practically destroy the
power of the digestive organs. A little
later it paralyzes the nerves and up
sets the mind. In the end it leaves
nothing that can be said to resemble a
man.-Chicago Tribune.
