BARMAIDS IN ENGLAND.
Efforts to Suppress Them Are Now
Being Made in Various Parts of
the United Kingdom.

Great Britain is somewhat aroused
over the threatened overthrow of one
of its conspicuous and altogether dis
tinctive institutions that have with
stood the fire of vigorous opposition
for several exceedingly active dec
AIDES.
, A plan has been formulated by which
it is believed the barmaids of the inns
and public drinking places will ulti-
mately be suppressed. The movement
already has been started. 1t has not
yet been set going in London, where
more than 1000 barmaids are regular
ly employed, but in Glasgow active
steps are now being taken to suppress
the comedy maids who dispense liquors
to the town folk in the inns, and the
movement has gained such impetus
that temperance workers are confident
that the issue will be fatty decided in
the near future.
Supporters of the temperance cause
in England for many years have chafed
under the CALLING thought that maids
behind the bars of public drinking
houses were in such common and al
The Morris County chronicle. [volume] (Morristown, N.J.) 1877-1915, 1902-07-25
The barmaid is. in fact,

away The barmaid is, in fact, a
great drawing card for the public
house. If she happens to be pretty,
possessed of an attractive face and be-
witching manners, she is a greater
drawing card than if nature had been
less liberal with her, but at any event,
she is more valuable from the inn
keepers point of view than bar boys
or men, and that is why each attempt
of temperance workers to GUST her has
met with such vigorous and concerted
opposition.
Now, however, it is believed by both
factions that the grand climax of the
years of effort on the barmaid ques-
ton is near at hand. The agitation
recently begun in Glasgow is regard
ed as the opening skirmish of
mighty struggle that has been prepar-
ing for the last two years between the
temperance folk and the liquor sell
ers of the United Kingdom. If the
movement succeeds in Scotland it is
considered altogether probable that
it may cross the Tweed and envelop
England.
In selecting Glasgow as the place in
which to launch the crusade against
the barmaid, those composing the
"anti' faction did not act without dis
playing wisdom and keen foresight.
The Scots are a strongly religious peo-
pie, and it is for this reason that the
blue-ribboners expect to create a Suf-
fcient amount of we'll directed senti-
ment to place their cause ona substan-
tial and effective basis There are in
Glasgow more than 200 barmaids, and
it is believed when sufficient pressure
is brought to bear on the innkeepers
of the city the desired concessions can
be obtained. However, the crusaders
are prepared to fight if education and
persuasive methods avail them moth
ing, and the issue may be carried to
the highest court.
Great Britain is the only part of the
British empire where the barmaid is
an institution. There are hardly any
in ireland, and none in Australia, New
Zealand, Canada or the Cape. In Eng
land there are about 100000 barmaids,
while in London alone the number
reaches 600

The Official Bulletin of the Kongo
Free State publishes the following sta
tistics of commerce during the year
1901:
The general commerce, comprising
both imports and exports, amounted
to SIS, 1894, 1928, In which grand total the
special commerce of the Free State,
which comprises only the products of
its territory exported and the foreign
merchandise consumed in the country
amounted to $14,2O2, $50, divided as fol-
lows: Imports, $4,45s,6 COS; exports,
$9,744,261. The last figures exceed the
exports for 1900 by $500, 421, showing
the steady progress ofexportation, par
ticularly in rubber, copal gum and cof-
fee. The figures for the special i'm
port trade have slightly declined, the
decrease being in two important
classes of merchandise, viz, railway
and river naviga tion material and alco-
hols. The importation of railway and
river navigation material has natural
~ decreased, owing to the completion
of the Mayumbe railway and to the
fact that the river feet of the Free
State was not enlarged during last
year. AS to the decline in the impor-
tation of alcohols (from 1906 $40
quarts in 1900 to 205,777 quarts in 1901),

YOUNG SOCIETY MATRON.
Mrs. Frank Gould, just Sweet
Eighteen, Now Is One of New
YOrk's Social Leaders.

Eighteen years are none too many
for a society matron to claim, and
few girls are really moving in the
married set of New York's 400 at
that age Mrs. Frank Gould, how
ever, is the single exception. She is
the youngest society matron in Goth
am, having just celebrated her
eighteenth birthday. AT the time of
her romantic marriage to Mr.. Gould
she was in the halcyon days of sweet
II, mere school girl, and had she
not stepped into the realm of ma
tronhood almost before she had dis
carded short skirts, she would I'M
doubtedly be school girl still.
In addition to being the youngest,
Mrs. Gould is one of the richest of
Counting her husbands money as her
own, she is the possessor of at least
$20,000,000. Besides this, Mr.. Gould
owns magnificent homes in New
York, London and on the Hudson, so
that the two can devote themselves
exclusively to the spending of their
income.
Mrs. Gould has other claims to dis
tinction. She is the best yachtswom-
an in the world, unless it be Mrs.
Lucy Carnegie in her days afloat. She
came by her yachting proclivities
naturally, for her father was Commo-
dore Kelly, of the New York yacht
club, which has held the America cup
for more than so years.
Mrs. Gould is exceedingly pretty
and is remarkable for her vivacity.
She dresses beautifully, but in deep
black, for her father, who died last
summer. She wears picture hats and
skirts quite long, and has a knack of
arranging herself in the most at
tractive corner that there is in the
drawing room.
She has been immensely admired,
and, although the daughter of wealth
married to wealth and given the full
rein over millions, she is by no means
spoiled. Her nature is singularly
sweet, and her manner both cordial
and dignifed She reminds strangers
of Mrs Grover Cleveland as Mrs. Cleve-
land was when she went to the white
house, a girl.
Mrs. Gould, though too young to have
mapped out distinct lines for herself,
is given somewhat to fads. First of
The Morris County chronicle. [volume] (Morristown, N.J.) 1877-1915, 1902-07-25

Chicago she has that much chance
of some gallant giving her the seat
he has won; for an old lady it is safe
to lay even odds she cannot push so
hard to get into the car and to the
seats before they are filed, but her
chances of winning are evened up by
her chance of securing the seat
workingman or woman has secured
before her; shop girl has about one
chance in three of running some
where in the one, two, three order.
She is too weak after day behind
the counter to fight for an equal
chance in the running, but is favored
occasionally by philanthropist. And
so the handicapping might go on in
definitely, or at least through all
classes of society, but there is one
class that it is always safe to figure
among the ''also rams" That is the
society woman, the member of zone
of our best families" who has been
downtown shopping and chooses to
ride home in the street cars instead
of sending for carriage. The au-
dience has usually departed before
she passes under the wire.
This is Chicago's street car prob
lem. 1t is a growing problem. 1t is
problem that grows with the
growth of the city, and the city sets
rapid pace. 1t is the biggest thing
in all the big city. 1t is one of the
few things with which Chicago is. not
madly in love.
The Morris County chronicle. [volume] (Morristown, N.J.) 1877-1915, 1902-07-25

all, she likes all forms of outdoor
nmusements, and is particularly fond
of yachts, blooded dogs, of the golf
links, and of cycling. She is having
fine yacht built for her, the gift of her
husband, and will also have a country
seat upon the Hudson, where she will
share in the ownership of the most ex-
pensive blooded dogs in the world.
Her romance with Mr.. Gould, himself
a young man of 20, dates back to short
dresses and school days. Only her
mother and a few intimate friends
were present at the wedding, and the
young couple, distinctive in many
ways, took an unusual method of en-
joying their honeymoon. Instead of
going abroad they spent the first few
days of their wedding tour in New
York, automobiling about the city,
dropping into restaurants for their
meals, and driving on again. Then they
went to Florida and took up with the
winter colony there, and at once be-
came part of the merry whirl of the
society world.
Mrs. Gould is the sister-in-law of
Helen Gould and Countess Castellane
whom she has met. Helen Gould is ea-
tremely fond of the young bride, and
It was one of her most cherished wishes
that her brother should wed this young
girl The match was in reality a fam
lily affair, fully approved, for Mrs. KEEL
ly, Mrs. Frank Gould's mother, is a
close friend of Helen Gould.
None of the women in the Gould
family has turned particularly to So
cial life, and the youngest matron is
no exception. Mrs. George Gould
spends most of her time in the Catskills
and at Lakewood. Mrs. Howard Gould
spends the greater portion of the year
in her yacht. Mrs. Edwin Gould dwells
at Tarrytown and lives the life of
country dame.
Mrs. Frank Gould's reputation in the
convent. from which she has Just
emerged, was that of being more than
usually devoted to books, and she still
spends most of her time in study.
The Morris County chronicle. [volume] (Morristown, N.J.) 1877-1915, 1902-07-25

this is in accordance with the desire
of the Free State, which, by its new
fiscal legislation, has raised the duty
enormously. The decrease in the spe-
cial import trade may be considered as
temporary; in fact, the construction
of the railways destined for the Upper
Congo will call for large quantity of
goods of all kinds, as well as for an in
crease in the river fleet for their trans
portation.
In the transit trade, the statistics
for 1901 show falling off of $6s4,3S6,
principally in goods destined for the
neighboring colonies of the Upper Con-
go 1t is interesting to note that in
the special import trade, Belgium
holds the first place, the figures
amounting to $3,226,226, out of total
of $4,45s,69s.

you will have all the essential facts
for the laying of odds.
If there is any one place in the
city better than another to watch
the constant attempt to solve the
street car problem it is on State
street, between Randolph and Madi-
son. For two blocks of that distance
the cars on three tracks are loading
and unloading a continued stream of
contestants. Just to look at them as
they get off the cars is sufficient to
enable the close observer to pick the
winners or to distinguish those who
have been left at the post. Watch the
feeble steps of the old lady as she
picks her way to the sidewalk and
you can tell whether she has rode
downtown in a seat, or whether she
has had to take her chances with the
field and failed to take first, second
or third money. Look for the frown
or smile on the face of the we'll
dressed, fashionable shopper and you
will know whether to call on the
bool1maker to cash your checks or
not.
Five thousand street cars enter the
downtown or business districts of
Chicago every day. They come from
north, south and west, and every car
brings its quota of contestants in
this race. Every car pours into the
little section of the city, less than a
mile square, a crowd of people who
must at some time during the day be
carried back to their homes again.
The cars that come and go in the
mornings and evenings are always
crowded to the roof, and for this

Will lCoo VI ON0-
ing. The difference is in the length of
the haul. In,few cities in the world
do the patrons of street cars get
so much for their nickels as in Chi
cago; in few cities are the COM
panies more generous with their
transfers.
Five cents invested in street car
ride in the city by the lake will give
anyone a Kaleidoscope view of the
town that embraces all its attrac-
lions from the sky-scraping build
ing in the business district to the
cultivated wheat and corn fields in
the suburbs.
TO the poor man these long street
car lines with but one fare to pay
for IL to 15-mile ride are boon
that makes life in the city worth
the living. Five cents will take him
into a far country. He may live
among the smoke-begrimed factories,
and for six days out of every seven
have to breathe the foul air of the
tenement districts, but on the sew
enth he can, for five cents, get into
veritable fairyland of unfenced
woods and green fields.
In invading these farming suburbs
the street car companies are but an
ticipating by a year or two the
growth of the city. A few months
more and Chicago will have expand
ed to take them in in fact as they are
now in name. Already the real es-
tate men are advertising choice corr
ner lots on every farm, and homes
on the installment plan will soon
follow.
