THE BRITISH BARMAID.
TWENTY-FIVE thousand pretty
PUMPERS AND THEIR DANGERS.
How One Barmaid Became a Duchess
and Two Others Married. Lords-A
Good Barmaid Who Died Young-
How the Various Types are Regarded
by the British Matron.
Correspondence of the Philadelphia Press.
London, May 11.—The British barmaid
stands alone.
She is as much recognized as an English
institution as the church, the House of Lords
or the Cunard line.
She numbers, in London, 35,000. strong.
She is always young, and generally
pretty.
She is the pariah of the public house, th*
outcast of respectable society, the rejected
of the philanthropist and the parish visitor.
There are no associations for the benefit of
the barmaid. There are no Bible classes,
no prayer meetings, no special services for
her. Even the wicked ballet girl has her
Sunday tea poured out for her by a lady of
high degree, but not the barmaid. No one
cares whether she is overworked and under
fed, how long she stands on her feet, and
what sort of food she is given to eat; what
tieoomes of her when she is ill or loses her
place.
Every woman who works for her living—
from the “shop sewer'’ who earns her seven
pence a day to the swell saleswoman who
{pockets her fourteen shillings a week—has a
sneer for the barmaid, and between her and
liar antipodes, the British matron, there
yawns a gulf so wide that it is never spanned
unless by a saussage roll and a glass of pale
sherry, which the barmaid puts on the
counter with an aggravating slam and the
matron pays in coppers for with a con
temptuous sniff.
THE BARMAID’S REQUISITES.
There must be a superstition to the effect
that barmaids have no souls: for no at
tempt is made by any religious body to
reach or "to save them. Good men and good
women scour tho slums of London to succor
and reclaim the most degraded and de
praved of women —women who were bred,
bom and brought up in badness—but no ef
fort is made to protect or to save the bar
maid, who, nine times out of ten, started
out in life a respectable girl, and one in ten
remains so in her occupation. •
The 25,000 women employed in pouring
liquor down the huge throat of thirsty Lon
don are young and goodlookiug. The first
requisite demanded of the barmaid is that
she shall be pretty, and the second that she
shall not be under 16 nor over 30, though
many publicans and sinners draw the line at
25 years of age. Her popular name is Polly.
Polly, as a rule, has a skin wholesome in its
Sink and whiteness, and not averse to little
ixnples. A thick crop of curly hair is cut
close to her head, and her eyes, be they
black or blue, arc sure to be fine. Polly's
poorest feature is her mouth, for it is coarse
ly cut, and only the redness of her lips and
her splendid teeth make one forgive the
glimpse of her gums when she laughs. A
black dress, a white collar and a coquettish
apron give an air of refinement and neat
ness not always native.
It is taken for granted that Polly must be
light of foot and deft of hand. She must
lie honest in money matters and good
tempered. Above all, she must not be
squeamish. To the gilded youth of Great
Britain the barmaid is a special joy, a crea
tion for his benefit, and he is quick to pick
out the prettiest one behind the bar. There
she is chained to her place as securely as if
to a log. He can stare at her as long and as
meaningly as he likes. He can say bad
words and she dare not resent it, because he
has ordered a brandy and soda. Then lie
tells her a stale joke or compliments her in
the coarsest, of terms, interlarded
with frequent “my dears,” and she
has to smile and look as if she liked it,
and by and by she comes to like it, and
that’s where the mischief begins. What
tries Polly most, though, is to near two of
her patrons discussing with much unction
and not a little profanity her “good points”
exactly as if she were a horse, and deaf at
that. As she stands behind tne long white
counter or bar of marble, with its shining
pumps, its pyramids of * veets, fruits, cakes
and sandwiches, rosy, tidy and alert, hand
ing over hard-lx>iled eggs, buns, cheese
cakes, cold sausage and sliced ham, she is
not an unpleasing picture, and one always
to be found at the railway refreshment
rooms and better class of public houses,
pastry cooks and theatre cafes.
WHERE THE BARMAID COMES FROM.
It would be hateful and unjust to think
that the barmaids under the heads enumer
ated were all whited sepulchres. Many of
them are daughters of small farmers and
more of country innkeepers. Some have
come from the house of the village school
master and others from tho village parson
age—good, honest girls, decently reared,
and driven to this resource to make a living.
The great ambition of a respectable bar
maid is to get a place in one of the refresh
ment rooms, hotels or restaurants man
aged by a famous firm who employ
thousands of women in this capacity
and will not take a girl without some sort of
recommendation. Here the hours are long
and the pay small, but the girls are under
the charge of a manageress, who keeps an
eye on them, and they sleep on the premises.
They also hare their ” black waiting-gowns
given them and are treated with some show
of humanity: indeed, one of the girls told
tne th*t this firm was the only one that made
it a rule to let a barmaid refuse to serve a
man who insulted her.
Even with these advantages the atmos
phere of exposure, profanity and drin’: does
its work in deadening the moral senses, and
where one girl in the long run holds her own
nine succumb, slowly or swiftly, according
to their individual power to resist tempta
tion, and drifting away join the terrible
army that desolates Babylon.
Another but much smaller class of bar
maids find places in country or suburban
inns and are much better off, though they
fail to see it in the craving for the excite
ment, of city life. In the inn the barmaid is
made one of the landlord’s family. She takes
ner meals at the same table, sits in their
pew on Sunday and knows the names of the
ogular customers, especially the cormner
ela* travelers, many of whom make her
presents in return for little services she has
a chance to render. To be sure, she is rather
teee m her jokes and her partiality for the
male sex is upparent; nevertheless, she is
trusted and well treated.
It is not, an uncommon thing for abar
niaid m a position of this sort to end by
marrying the hostler of the inn or a ueigti
ooring publican; and speaking of this ro
unds me of one of the strangest romances
‘“at ever befell a barmaid.
J he Duke of Chamlos, Ht the beginning of
ue eighteenth century, was conspicuous for
is jieoqjiarities and the magnificence of
ne style in which he lived. .Strange, at the
same time, hp was the soul of thrift. His
' mt ry scat, Canons, had cost him $1,000,-
''. dined in public like the King, with
playing and surrounded by his {Swiss
guards. In 1710 the Duke, while on a jour

‘ streaming with blood, was

a25 , toying to escape from

“ aftc-rwanl* became the wlf* of tjn
Thomas Duval. Sir Thomas, however, lived
but a lew years, and, dying, left
a fortune of £4O.mV! to his widow.
During this interval, however, the Duchess
of Chtiudos also died, and then, in tho year
1 1 55, the noble Duke wedded the ex-bar
niaid, and the ehronieles tell us never
repented the bargain, for he wrote in his
w ill: “J owe the greatest comfort I have
enjoyed in this life to my Duchess, Lydia
Catherine.” And furthermore, he ordmed
that in death thev should not be divided,
and that a marble monument should be
erected to her. This quaint romance is to
be found in a book in the British Museum,
bound iu a piece of red velvet left over from
the pall used on the coftin of the Duchess.
From time to time since the nobilitv have
occasionally received a recruit from behind
the bar, but not always one so deserving of
promotion as the lovely Lydia Catherine.
Among otherr, at present are Lady Saver
nake, whose record one needs to touch light
ly on, and Wyndham, who retired
from the bar to marry and make a sensa
tion that lasted nine days, and furnished,
iu a son, cause for law suits that make the
kingdom ring.
Neither of these titled women, however,
came from the class of barmaids I have al
luded to so far.
THE MUSIC HALL BARMAID.
There are in. London 350 music halls. The
largest bolds 20,000 people, the smallest not
as many hundred. These halls are frequent
ed by men of all classes and women of but
two—the wives and daughters of mechanics
and workingmen who can only afford cheap
amusement, and the other and majority,
. women whose character is not doubtful, it
is so plainly stamped on cheek and dress.
The entertainment is of the variety tyi>e.
Coarse songs by young women in scant
skirts, clog dancing, ‘(acrobatic perform
ances by American artists,” minstrels with
corked faces, who drop their h’s, and brass
bands of women performers. All the time
smoking is going on and drink Is being
served ny numerous barmaids, who have
been selected solely on account of their good
looks and are paid a percentage on every
bottle they sell.
You can imagine the result. Pretty, even
handsome, as they are, blit painted all alike,
red and white, until they look like marques,
leering, ogling, winking at men, in whom
they see only receptacles for liquor on which
they will get their per cent. The conversa
tion is alarming, the atmosphere sickening,
and as you pass out of the broad doors you
may stumble over some miserable wreck—
bones and rags—over a woman, once there
inside, a pretty barmaid.
There is a fortunately small class of bar
maids in London who have been introduced
into “select” places of amusement, in imita
tion of those in the Eden Theatre in Paris.
No black dress and white apron for them,
blit gorgeous silks and velvets, cut low, to
show white necks glistening with gold and
diamonds, and their hair elegantly dressed
and adorned with the jewels and plumes of
the court lady. These “maids” are not paid
wages, but have a heavy profit on every
thing a man drinks, and with bottles of
champagne in their bare arms they fairly
pursue the patrons of the establishment.
THE PRETTY BARMAID AND A RICH BREWER.
To turn to something pleasanter, let me
relate two incidents concerning the “profes
sion” which came under my own notice, and
show what a barmaid may be made to suffer
for being “over nice,” and how even a bar
maid can command respect from her “bet
lei’s.” Clara Fisher was an exceedingly
pretty girl, with eyes as blue as corn
flowers, nair the color of ripe wheat and a
face as fresh as a country breeze. Shu was
barmaid in a Yorkshire ’ hotel, where I hap
penad to be stopping for a few days,
and, as usual in small hotels, acted
sometimes as waitress, which gave
me a chance to say a few words
to her now and then. One evening
as dinner was about to be served I heard a
seuffl ’, some short ejacualtions and a low
cry of pain in the hail. Opening the door
of the private dining-room I saw Clara try
ing to tree herself from the grasp of a tall,
powerful man, whose red face and sparkling
eye made him look like a beast of prey. No
sooner did the door open than he turned on
his heel and strode away. The girl was
shaking from head to foot, and as I took
her hand I was horrified to see on its plump
surface three deep, cruel gashes, from which
the blood was running.
“That’s what he did with his nails, mum,
because I wouldn’t let him kiss me and tried
to get my hand away,” she sobbed.
“Who is the man?’ I asked.
“It’s Mr. Horslap, the rich brewer, mum,
and the missus warned me not to offend him.
because he’s a good customer. Now, I’ll
have to go.”
I could scarcely believe it, but, sure
enough, that night the pretty Clara was
told that as she was so squeamish she could
find another place. This was the brewer’s
revenge.
Avery remarkable barmaid died a few
weeks ago at Ely. She had held her place
in the railway refreshment room for several
yeans, and so upright was her character and
so ladylike her I scaring that she made
friends even among the most prejudiced.
She taught in the Sunday school and sang
in the village choir, and when she was
buried her coffin was hidden in flowers, and
over 300 people—a large number for the tinv
cathedral town of Ely—attended her funeral.
There have been two attempts of late
years to introduce the barmaid in New
York, both resulting iu failures, and it is to
be hoped that succeeding attempts will fare
no better. The system means the degrada
tion of a large class of women, for very
little observation convince* one that it
affords a barely covered passage from hon
esty to infamy.
CHIPLEY DOTS.
Success of Georgia Yankees - Serious
Railroad Accident.
Chiplky, Fla., May 30.—Mr, Forrester’s
handsome residence is nearing completion.
Mr. Forrester came here some two or three
years ago from Thomas county, Ga., a poor
man, and bought a small tract of land for
$1 25 per acre. This land has increased in
value from that price to SSO to $350 per
acre. This increased value, together with
Mr. Forrester's energy and pluck has made
him a nice little fortune. 1 have observed
one thing very closely, that the Georgia
Yankees, as they are called in this county,
arc succeeding bv far the best in tilling the
soil. These Northern and Western Yankees
don’t seem to understand the cultivation of
this soil, although when they get here they
first begin to try and teach jveople how to
farm. They are good citizens and indus
trious, but they run too much on this black
soil as they call it.
Quite a sariou." accident happened
on tho Pensacola and Atlantic rail
road yesterday to a brakeman on
tho western-bound freight at Curyville,
in this county. While the train was in
motion ha fell under it, the cars pass
ing; over his legs, severing them from
ilis body, from which he died iu a little
wbilo.
Tho Eufaula, Chipley and Ht. Andrew’s
Bav railroad is still on a boon), and ere any
body knows it will be completed. The car
shops, so 1 am informed, will be built or
located at. this point.
The citizens of Chipley and surrounding
country will tender lion. W. D. Chipley,
the able and efficient Vice President of the
Pensacola and Atlantic railroad, and the
father of Western Florida, and for whom
wo hod the honor of naming this place, a re
ception on J uly I. There will also be given
iu honor of the distinguished goutlemnn on
the same day a grand barbecue. There will
bo here on that day quite a number of dis
tinguished gentlemen from all over tho
State. The roads will give low excursion
rates, therefore a iurge number of visitors
will be expected.
Tho crops are looking exceedingly well.
Cotton, corn and cane are looking splendid.
Tho fanners are well up with their wont,
and, in most instances, have clean and well
cultivated crop*. ,
The wool crop is a big thing in this coun
try. There hns been sold here, up to this
date, about 80,1100 pounds of wool, at from
25c. to 28c. per pound, and lots behind yet.

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, JUNE 2. 1887.
FEMALE TIPPLERS.
Womon Who Look Upon Win® When
It I® Red.
Froni the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The drinking habit among Cincinnati
women is greatly on the increase.
There are to-day hundreds of places, from
cozy and quiet retreats to the crowded hill
tops and thronged music halls, where women
can assemble and imbibe.
In the latter places the women are gen
erally accompanied by male escorts, and,
though at firet they begin with ginger ale,
seltzer or soda water, they soon learn the
taste of something stronger, and many
gradually liecome confirmed devotees to the
uuuor habit.
Twenty years ago it was a rare thing to
see women under the influence; now it is no
uncommon thing, as any one knows who
has made the rounds of tnet*wn, as the say
ing is, to find in a single afternoon dr
evening hundreds of women who are
MORE OR LESS SO-SO.
The next day, of course, they have a head
ache, and are hot at home to callers. Any
one who has closely watched the growth of
the city, its changes and improvements, can
not have failed to note that a number of
prosperous and highly respectable drinking
resorts have within tho past five years
added to them a peculiar attachment. It is
known as the “Ladies’ Room.” Sometimes
there are several such rooms, which are
fitted up with a greater or less degree of ele
fance. Many are nicely carpeted, have
'renohy and suggestive pictures on the
wall, but for the most part they are simply
a room behind or adjoining the bar, con
taining plain wooden tables and common
chairs. Here of an afternoon or evening
are always found several couples seated
around the tablo
DRINKING THEIR REER
or mixed drinks. Few of the women ever
drink whisky. They seldom become hilari
ous, yet often a party of several couples
take a room and have a high old time. The
people that frequent these places range In
age from young girls to married women,
with their friends, who are out for a lark.
If the married lady takes too much she is
quietly put into a hansom and sent to her
home. Many have indulgent husbands,
who, when the wife and mother comes home
SLIGHTLY BEFUDDLED,
accept the excuse she offers, “that she was
over at Airs. , and they drank too much
wine.” Other husbands, more worldly
minded, perhaps, will not receive such an
excuse, and, of course, a scene follows.
Often repeated a coldness ensues between
the formerly happy couple, the wife lie
comes defiant, and may do wrong. The re
sult is inevitable, and the Divorce Court
winds up the melodrama.
RUSHING THE GROWLER.
There is another and distinctive phase of
the drinking (question, which is vulgarly
known as “rushing the growler.” It’s noth
ing more than sending out for a pitcher of
beer. Scattered all over town, especially in
the East and West. End, are convenient
saloons that do a large “pitcher business,”
as it is known to the trade. Women have a
great deal of spare time on their hands and
pay numerous visits to each other. Some
gentlemen friends call in the afternoon,
and, wishing to do the handsome thing, sug
gest:
‘‘What’s the matter with our having some
beer?”
The ladies don't object. It wall liven up
the dullness of the occasiou, drive off dull
care and make things more sooiable.
So the growler is rushed.
This is the social phase of it. But there is
another side to the picture. From drinking
socially the wife, if she is much alone,
forms
A TASTE FOR LIQUOR,
and logins by sending the girl out for a
nickel’s worth, or a bottle, of beer. Tho
servant is rewarded with a glass, and, of
course, keeps her own counsel. At first, if
the wife has no change, it is an easy matter
to arrange with the accommodating grocer
at the corner, where the family have a book,
to send along the bottle and charge it up as
sugar or flour. It is a long time before the
husband catches on, and the wife and ser
vant have their drink rations with the regu
larity of clock work.
It was not long since that the wife of a
well-to-do citizen died, yet few opined the
cause of her death. She was a quiet, mod
est woman, but childless. She formed the
drinking habit, and it was her custom to
send her trusted servant with a basket down
a bark alley for a dozen bottles of beer.
These she drank and went to bed. Then got
up and drank more. At last she grew to
live upon drink. The result was she passed
away with fatty degeneration of the heart.
There is still
ANOTHER SIDE TO THE PICTURE,
and perhaps it is the saddest and most de
moralizing of all.
“Who goes for the beer?” *
“Nearly always a child—a little bqy or
girl. The little tads come into the barroom,
where coaise men are swearing and drink
ing, quarreling over cards or sitting back
in a dark corner sleeping off a debauch.
The little one stands on tiptoe up against the
iron railing aud watches the barkeeper as
he draws the foaming amber fluid.”
QUIET JOINTS.
There are scattered all over the city per
haps 100 or more ice cream saloons and fruit
establishments.
They nearly all have a hack room.
Here it is perfectly respectable for a lady
to go alone aud eat her ice cream, or if she
has been to market, or shopping, and is
tired, to drink her bottle or glass or two of
beer.
They differ in this from the attachments
described under the head of “Ladies’ En
trances,” inasmuch as a lady can enter and
alone, and no one could accuse her of going
in to take a drink. The place is not called
a saloon. There are no red lights over the
door. There is no fancy bar with colored
decanters and large, elegant mirrors.
Though the liquor sold may exceed the
profits of the fruit and confections, they
are known as
FRUIT STOKES
and ice cream parlors, and the liquor sell
ing is simply a profitable adjunct. Gener
ally' the freshest and choicest fruits are ex
posed in front, aud cand'e* and cakes, nuts
and cigars, soda water, etc., on shelves along
the sides. The bar is entirely out of sight
It does not stand forth in glaring perspicu
ity. It is hid behind a partition, and is, ut
best, but a small, unpretentious affair.
These places are extensively patronized by
women. Good order prevails, and any dis
position to raise a disturbance is quickly
Squelched in the bud bv the Proprietor, who
won’t have any fuss, nud declares “there ure
ladies present, and this is no barroom.”
There arc scores of these places that have
regular female patrons, for the most part,
married women, who go to drink their
regular five or six daily glasses of beer
Acquaintances are matte here easily. It
is generally the courtesy of the place if a
huly is sitting alone to take the chair oppo
site" and invite her to either fruit, cream or
something to drink. Quite often a lady
enters and says, ".Scud for a messenger
boy.” She sit* looking daggers, and ner
vously pats her foot, on the nil-cloth. Any
body looking at her knows she means busi
ness, and has sent for some gentleman
friend whose place of business she dare not
enter, yet on "whom she has a claim.
