Clubs Are Mockerfes.


The clubs still exist, but they are mock
cries. The sandwich is used only in very
rare spots. An example: Four newspaper
men on their way home observed light
in the GEAR Of a saloon which had hitherto
been dark and evidently closed. A re-
mark by one Of them that the proprietor
was evidently specializing upon some re-
Taxation in the law, caused the four men
to alight from their car just to see how 1t
worked. There was 20 trouble in gaining
admission at the side door, and seated at a
table, an order for liquid refreshments was
promptly filed. There was no sandwich.
One of the party ventured to ask II that
establishment did not serve something to
eat with the drinks. Then something
broke. The waiter vented his indigna-
ton something like this:
G Watcher singing about? You've got your
ticker, aincher? You want to eat, doncher?
Dis amt no eatin' house nor lodgin' house.
neider. Seer
And as the party emerged from the side
door two policemen-reform policemen, for
there have been no changes in the force
as yet-were standing within a few feet
thereof in peaceful disregard of the fact
that the law was being violated.
When DIR. Parkhrrst and his band OF
reformers started the crusade which grad
ually drove the habitues Of the old Ten
derloin from their haunts they took refuge
in the upper West Side and formed the
nucleus of a new Tenderloln. These old
characters are beginning to come back to
their old stamping ground and are desert
ing their present quarters for the ex-
pected pleasures, when everything will, in
fact, be wide open. It is their generally
means that their good times have come

NEW YORK, November 13. 1897.
In the aftermath of the recent Do
litical campaign, in the pictorial de-
partment there appeared a cartoon
filled with suggestion. 1t represent
ed a Tammany tiger, with shoulders
drawn with long fasting, but with an abdo-
men widely distendeu with sudden and
hasty feeding. Its leering eyes lighted up
a satisfied face and from its mouth dangied
the tail feathers of rooster-the emblem
of the Jeffersonion democracy Strewn
around this figure were the mangled re-
mains OF the emblems of the parties OPP
posed to Tammany, while on Its breast was
suspended the star of the straight demo-
cratic ticket Over the figures head were
printed the words: Bring on the desert"
1t is being served now The political pie is
being cut away down in Dixie land, where
the prime movers of the recent political
victory have followed their leader in search
of relief from an alleged disordered liver.
1t is strange how one little liver could
cause such an exodus from Tammay Hall.
The Change Is Felt.
Although the men responsible for the
change in affairs In this locality are con-
spicuous by their absence, the change re-
mains; the city feels it is in the air, and
it is wonderful change. Much has been
said about the ''wide-open'' conditions
which would prevail when the reform ad-
ministration had been buried under a stack
Of ballots. While this wide-openness does
not exist in the fullest sense of the word
to all intents and purposes the city feels
the change and there is relaxation of the
stringent reform rules apparent every
where. In no place Is it SO marked as in
the old Tenderioin. In that section the
habitual seeker for the pleasures of the
livlier sort, und"r the anti-Tammany meth
DDS. was compelled to take it through the
medium of a card of admission to a So
called club-a blind for a dance hall or
something of the kind; or If he wanted to
ease thirst was compelled to take with
his beverage. and pay for. Raines law
sandwich, after regulation hours. True the
Club" membership gave the so-called
member the run of the establishment, and
true also that one lonesome, fndigestible
Raines law sandwich ofttimes did duty for
an unlimited mum of drinks, but there
was semblance Of compliance with the
lava fear that a slip, departure there
from would be noted in an excise complaint
in the morning.

Policemen and SaloOnkeeI


All through the campaign the privates of
the police force were plainly and unmis-
takably for Tammany. They probably re-
membered the good old days. when they
were allowed to levy toll upon the small
fry, while their superiors. as charged be-
fore Lexow, were hunting bigger game. A
Tenderioin post tn those days was sup
posed to mean plenty of extra cash, and
there IS now that same atmosphere sur
rounding the9 officers on those beats. the
saloo,,keepexH were strongly and openly
for Ta5pmanyodM Many of them had been
driven out Of business by the Raines Aw.
for the small ,Srog shop proprietor could
not AFFORD til BAY the largely increased
license fee, imposed by the law. One Of
these small f;daRaers, who claimed he had
islation, stood Id front OF his late place OF
business day after day during the cam
paign, grinding an organ, soliciting aims
and displaying conspicucusly a sign bearing
the recital Of his grievance. These small
rum sellers are talking about going hack
into business under the changed conditions
of things. One Of these. with q face like q
bulldog and manner that would have

The Fistic Fraternity.
Persons interested IN prize fighting are
glad there Is to be change of administra-
ton. While Theodore Roosevelt was presi-
dent Of the police board there was good
deal Of lively boxing. for Mr.. Roosevelt
was friend Of the sport, and liked to see
a brisk fight himself. but since his retire
ment there has not been q finish contest
between high-class men. The police stop
ped the Maher-Sharkey light last spring,
IL viii be remembered. and after that the
managers gave up endeayoring to bring on
contests Since the election Mayor Strong
has been sounded. to see II he would ease
up little In his hostility to boxing, but he
made 1t pretty clear that prize lighting,
except a. scientific display. was dead as
long as he was In Office. The waldorf Ath-
letic Club brought OF two meetings, the
first a very tame AFFAIR and the second q
very lively one Mayor Strong had permit

the managers OF the club that there would
be no brutality. After the second meeting

Of comforting Its own degrees, thus placing it

HAS oTrALNo KILLED H1MsELF9
After Reading or the Hillyard Tragedy He
Threatened 10 Commit Suicide.


NEwTowN, L. L. June 1O.-John E. Ottaino, n
young Italian Of Winfield, L. L. was so impressed
by the story Of the suicide Of Lawye r Hillyard Of
Brooklyn, who also killed his son, that he be-
came morbid, declaring that he, like Hillyard,
was q failure. and that the best thing he could
do was to end his life as the lawyer had done.
Mrs. Lozcabzo. his sister. and her husband
told him he made q comfortable living by his
trade as barber, that his parents were well.to-
do in Italy, and that, being a graduate of a col
lego in Rome. he might aspire to higher things
than remaining a barber all his life. On such
occasions Ottaino would go TO his roam, and.
drawing forth clippings from the newspapers on
the Hillyard tragedy, would read them over in
tently.
On Tuesday OF last week Ottaino told his sister
he was going to New York to work. He did not
return, and on last Tuesday his brother.in-law
found In Ottaino's room q wallet containing 50 a
gold watch. and a letter written by Ottaino, who
drew his favorite parallel about Hillyard and
himself. He said he would kill himself in some
secluded spot and would destroy everything
that might lead to his idcntia cation. ending
as ] have no friends"
Ottaino was about twenty-one years old, and
wore dark clothes when he disappeared. On the
night OF the Tuesday that he left homo a body
was found at Dexter Park. near Woodhaven,
l. l.. with a bullet hole In the temple and a re
volver olutched in the right hand. The descrip'
ton Is identical with that given OF the young
Italian. Coroner Mutt took charge Of the body
and 1t was buried the next day.
