Every visitor to New York thought 1t his
bounden duty to drop into Harrys place
in the course Of his sightseeing. 1t WAS
an odd structure two stories In height,
half theater. half barroom. Tho enter
tainments were about the same thing all
the time-redhot boxing, flerce singing by
male and female variety artists, earnest
wrestling and 6ome musical recitations.
Here many noted boxers made their de-

thur Chambers 1t was Harry Hills
proud boast that not single guest was
ever robbed Of penny in his house, which,
Y considering tho fact that half the assem-
blageS which gathered there were made up
OF women Of the half world, Is certainly
remarkable.
During all these years that Hill was
achieving fame, or rather notoriety, he was
acquiring great political power as well as
putting money in his purse. He owned n
mile or moro OF rich land on Long Island
i right on the sound, built big country
seat and pavilion near Flushing and bought
and ran steamboats, between New York
J city and his Long Island property. At
one time he was worth, It is estimated,
about 81, 100000, and numbered among
his friends such influential men ms the late
Il President Chester a. Arthur, William M.
( Tweed, tho great "boss'' Of Tammany
Hall; prince Hal" Genet, "Slippery
: Dick" Connolly and Stephen B. French
/ and John j. O'Brien, the chums and lieu
tenants OF General Arthur when he ran tho
Republican politics of New York. Harry
was shrewd Briton and played no "fa-
yorites" politically. He contributed liber-
ally to the campaign funds of the "boys'
OF both sides, and consequently had tre.
mendous pull" at police headquarters.
He made police captains police inspectors
anu even police commissioners.

or OF New York, that dives and the men
who profited by them began to be gradual
~ exterminnted. Before that period dive
keepers had but to "see the right people,
and the police were easily "squared. -
After that era the police grew independent
and did not take "orders' from either
Iammany or the Republican machine.
They really went for the diyokeepers,
not from any motives of purity, but to
turn an honest dollar" of their own.
They blackmailcd the "joints'' unmerci-
