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 l l■ "topped at tho “Castle Inn.” at Slorl i„n ! - Just as his gorgeous gilded coach fiedmto the courtyard frightful shrieks I ' . or j rr * and a young girl of remarkable f™ ’ *' ut w l ,nslJ golden looks and white ‘ streaming with blood, was urn, rusllir| g frantically hither and a25 , toying to escape from .... ,r, *tal man, the hostler of the inn, I " i ' va " striking her with the butt end of a iloftn.fii oraewhlp, 'Hie enraged Duke oV nlUi *, "totoli to stop, blit; tile hostler re lim 1 la t file girl, who was barmaid at the wife, and he could do what he wiii w , ,* IQr > “oaring at the same time, lint n leer, to sell his right to tho j I*® latter look him at his word, leit ii own twenty guineas, and wheti he h,,,, .' towm took the unlucky barmaid with im i, , . w y" 1 ,V 'H **e that all Dukes are ‘ f,l r th” Duke of Chundos had liis into ", p l educated, and she develop'd si,,, 411 elegant and accomplished woman, “ 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. Tbi* is th®.hop, t of autkak, tie hi thebouth. . , 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. “Buchu-Pnlba.” Quick, complete cure, all annoying kid ney, bladder and urinary diseases. sl, At druggists.
