Pioneer in the Coffee and Cake
Trade = Sketch of
His Career.

Phillip F. Meschutt, who enjoyed the
distinction of being the pioneer of coffee
and cake business in New York, and who
has been a resident of this city for thirty
years. died at his home, No. 244 Mont
gomery street. On Monday night. from a
complication of diseases.
Mr.. Meschutt was 72 years old. In 1s4s
he started in business with his brother,
No. 40 Bowery. The store was directly
opposite the old Bowery Theatre. It soon
became the resort of actors who We're
struggling for fame and fortune Among
them were Frank Chanfrau. William e.
Burton Thomas Hamblin and John r.
Scott. all of wn0ln were successful on the
stage subsequently,. At that time the bill
OF fare was a small one, consisting only
of butter cakes and coffee, which sold for
six cents, and cut OF pie which cost four
cents. 1t was q quick and cheap lunch,
and suited the pocketbooks of the actor
customers as well as their appetites: In
that little store Mr.. Meschutt and his
brother made enough money to establish
more stores about the city. In
1853 they owned five smell stores

one which had been opened at Broadway
and Howard street. Peculiarly this store

were among the regular customers.
Just before the war, DIR. Peckharn, who
owned nearly a block on lower Broad
way, offered to build a restaurant for
Mr.. Meschutt which would surpass any
other in the city. When the war broke
out the project was abandoned. In 1863
Mr.. Meschutt. moved to this city and
opened small restaurant. selling as he
did in New York only cakes and coffee
The business hourished and Mr.. Meschutt
moved into the old building at

While at that stand he introduced what
was known as three on and last off. =
The three ons were little dough cakes

five cents. Maple syrup was sometimes
served with them.
The old building soon became too small
to accommodate the business and a few

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 16, 1ss6.-A spe-
cial to the EXAMINER from San Diego,
Ca, says
Mr.. Cooper, the Hawaiian Minister of
Foreign Affairs, who formerly lived in this
city. is here. One of his most intimate
friends yesterday, said:-"Mr. Cooper told
me he came to the United States to urge
annexation on account OF fears that the
Hawaiian Government has of Japan The
situation Is just this: In Hawaii, accord
ing to General Cooper, the Japanese far
outnunlber all other foreigners. The
Americans are handful in comparison
Hawaii has a treaty with Japan and con-
not exclude the japanese, who are pour
ing into the island steadily and pushing
into every business. They are losing the
humble demeanor that charactefizes their
countrymen on this coast, and through
their great numbers and the prestige OF
the Japanese-Ghinese war are beginning
to chafe for the elective franchise. If
they force Hawaii to give them the right
of vote, then American aScendency will
be at an, end forever.
General Cooper informs me that he has
laid the situation before influential men
In the East and has SO won upon their
Judgment that he believes that great
strides will be made during the next year
toward annexation under the Mckinley
administration. Mr.. Cooper said last
night as TO ex-Queen Liliuekalani: I

COOK GUT HIS RROA7
His Dishes Were All Smashed
and He Could Not Serve
the Captain.

NEW YORK, Dec. 49, 1896. 6.--Extreme
constituencies as to the respect due to his
captain, and big storm at sea as con-
tribufing agent, was the reason why Will
lam Reed, the cook of the British steam
eide at sea on the morning of December
10. At least that is the reason he gave.
The storm made the ship roll so that all
the cooks dishes were smashed He be-
came to despondent because he had no
dishes to properly serve the captains
meals that he cut his throat as the best
way to escape what he evidently consid-
cred a disgrace to his character as a cook.
Captain Muller. however, saved his life
by tender nursing, perhaps feeling that
such devotion as that evidenced by the
cooks act deserved all the reward in care
and attention that its object was capable
Of At all events the captain bound up the
wound In Reeds neck end tended the pa
tient to such effect that when this port
was reached last night the devoted and
sensitive cook was on the high road to
complete recovery.
The Starlight halls from West Hartle-
pool, England, and sailed from Swansea
on the night of November II. It was a
rough voyage from the start They had
strong easterly gales with heavy cross
seas until December l. The wind veered
round to the west then and blew a hard
gale which continued for ten days.
Heavily the good old steamship rolled
in the seas that ran mountain high
and Captain Muller had little time for
sleep during those tempestuous days.
Even the old salts of the crew suffered
from the long continued pitching of the
vessel.
The cook suffered especially, and his
work was hampered by the incessant
rolling of the ship. His heart was bro
ken, by one of the sudden iurches of the
vessel, the last of his dishes were scat
tered in bits about the galley
That was too much for him. How
could he serve the captains meals now?
1t had been hard enough before. What
would become of his reputation as a
cook? He was surely ruined. There
was to his mind but one thing to do
he thought, and he did it. Then he was
saved by the captain, who, although
sorely troubled for the life of his ves-
sci in the gale, could yet spare time
to save the life of the cook. That was
on December 10.
Sailors may be more superstitious than
most classes, but here Is one Of those
condolences that go far toward making
them SO. Captain Muller's' report says:
After the 10th moderate weather pre-
vailed.'' Could it be that the cooks act
was regarded as a sacrifice by the gods
of the elements? At all events some
