PARIS PLASTERED WITH
POSTERS ON DRINK EVIL

SPECIAL BY CABLE TO THE NEW YORK
HERALD n THE ST. LOUIS
Paris, Feb. 14~.-CCopyright, 19O3.)-An
amusing war of posters is now being waged
in Paris between total abstainers and the
liquor sellers.
The hostilities were starred by the issue
of a poster, ON official white paper, declar-
ing alcohol to be a poison, and patent ap-
petizers to be still worse. This was signed
by NJ. De Selves. the Project of the Seine,
and NJ. Mesureur. director of the Municipal
Hospital of the Charity Departments.
Cafe proprietors and liquor sellers of all
kinds were seriously alarmed, and their
trade corporations have been holding meet
ings all the week. They will shortly reply
with 5000 posters. declaring alcohol not to
be a poison. quoting the article in which
NJ. D'Uclant, the director of the Pasteur
Institute, says Use it, but don't abuse
It," and also statistics regarding the amount
of alcohol, rum and wine used in the Paris
hospitals. Parisians are puzzled.

London Business Man Made a Most

London. Feb. 14.-Copyright, 1sO3) II
London business man made a rather Curl
Gus discovery the other day. He discovered
that IL You don't know your way about
London or have difficulty in finding your
destination in a remote part of the metropo-
lis. you have only to go to the Post Office
and you will be sent through as an express
parcel for the small sum OF three pence a
mile.
The manner in which this little-known
branch Of the postal service was discovered
was very simple. The business man in
question called at st. Martins Legrande to
consult a directory, az he wanted to find
the address OF an important customer in a
remote part of BALKAN, one of London's
most remote suburbs.
Wen send you there, If you like, sir"
said an obliging clerk at the express parcel
counter.
Such a contingency is provided for by the
Post Office regulations. though we very
seldom get a customer"
The gentleman agreed. A neatly-uniformed
youth came in response to a bell, and soon
they were forging their way through the
crowd. The youth carried a slip of paper
bearing the words: Article required TO be
delivered"
Passing along the street. the gentleman
met a partner in business. Z He stopped to
relate his experience, but this was not al
lowed. Under the regulations parcels must
not enter into conversation. The messen-
ger boy took him by the arm, saying:
You're express, SIR"
The young postman delivered the article
promptly and safely. and the customer
signed a document as having received the
article in good condition..

HERALD N FIJI ST. LOUIS REPUBLic.
London. Feb. ~H.-(Copyright, 1SOs.)-Until
King Edwards accession, the present gen.
Grafton didn't know what a real state func-
tlon meant. The first State opening Of Par
lament by the King in person. it will be
remembered. was locke forward to with
excited interest. chiefly by the ladies of the
court and in society. and much anxiety,
even jealousy, was felt by many, lest places
might not be found for them. Such a rush
on the court dressmakers had not been
known for years.
A change has now come over the aspect
Of affairs. The King is determined that

nifty and magnificence at his command. AS
a grand military pageant. it Is expected to
excel his first Parliament opening, but
nothing like so much interest is being taken
In the function by the court and society.
OF course. London is filling up. This week
has seen a great influx of people into Lon
don to view the opening Of Parliament next
week. but many peeresses are coming be-
cause in duty bound, rather than out of
personal inclination. Tn novelty of a State

QUEENS MISTAKE.
For the sake of pleasing the women Of her
court Queen Alexandra has caused it to be
known, through an official medium, that
they may appear in their coronation robes
on this occasion. but without the rouble-
some coronets, Instead of this announce
ment causing pleasure, 1t has been the
cause of no end of tribulation and lament
ings: for, while after the coronation many
sent their robes back to the robemakers to
be carefully packed ava for further use,
there were others who had them cut UP,
while others only hired them for that &C.
casion, and now they cannot afford, even II
there were time, to get new state robes
ready.
In view of Tuesdays function, the King
is taking great care of himself. He at
tended the Drury Lane pantomime Thurs
day night. along with the Queen. but that
is the only liberty he has taken with HIM
self since his recent cold, which prevented
his visiting Chatsworth. He Is determined
not to risk anything which might interfere
with his carrying out in person Tuesdays
programme.
In anticipation of Tuesdays
Monday night is to be devoted to official
dinners. but the opening of Parliament in
the afternoon of Tuesday is to be followed
at night by a great fete. in which society
is taking great interest. This is a fancy
dress carnival at Princess Skating Club.
Waltzing on the ice will be one of the feat
ures. During the week there has been any
number Of pretty women practicing.

Guards scandal has quite overshadowed the
Venezuelan mess and the wal cloud in the
Balkans this week. as far as the average
Londoner is concerned.
1t is a topic nearer and more important
to the British subject. for despite all the
public condemnation of the war officer. the
army occupies a big place in its heart, and
the guards have always been the attraction.
not only of the nursemaids. but of the ma
ton. For this reason the scandal has far
more interest than If it had occurred in
any other regiment than the guards.
For the time being, there is a lull in de-
velopnents. Colonel Kinloch declines to
make any personal answer to the charges
Of Admiral Cochrane. but his brother-in-
law. Lieutenant Colonel William Bromley
Davenport, who is reputed to be the clev-
crest man in the House of Commons. has
undertaken Colonel kinloch's defence and
denies the charges.
The Admiral, like a true sailor, sticks to
his guns. The whole matter is to be taken
up by Parliament, as the Wal Office is
compelled to make a statement to both
houses.
Meantime. society is talking of practically
little else and. as is quite usual. women
are ardently ~championing one side or the
other. While army officers avoid discussing
the matter outside their mess rooms, Tom
my Atkins is not SO reserved. He takes
quite as keen an interest in the scandal as
his superiors. and his opinion contains some
truths that his officers would do well to
consider.
A noncommissioned officer of the guards
regiments said: 81
"Hazing of officers has a most demoral-
izing effect on the a and file. 1t is de-
structive Of discipline. How can you re-
spect your officer when everybody in the
regiment. down to the drummer boy. knows

ment that the younges recruit would not

our estimation. He could lead us any
where.

demning the hazing unreservedly. One let
ter from an Admiral says:
The same sort of thing went on in the
