SOME NEWYORK MASHERS J4EU WHO DEVOTE THEIR LIVES TO THE FASCINATION OF WOMEN. A Row in Front of Do’.monico’s—The Masher With the White Lock, and How He Got It—Tho Daily Round of a Skillful Operator. From the New York Sun. There was a row in front of Delmonieo’s yesterday. It was quick, sharp, and sav age, though no blows were struck. A middle-aged, heavily built man hurried up just ns a well known yachtsman strolled out of the restaurant, and, seizing him by the arm, whirled him around. The men stood face to face, glaring at each other for an instant. It was 3 o’clock, and scorching hot. The hackman started forward from across the street, the waiters peered from the windows, and the loiterers sprang into sudden life. The yachtsman is a famous figure of the town. He has been shot twice, once by a wife and once by a husband. It looked as if he was in for it again. Neither of the two men spoke for a minute, and then the elder %aid shortly: “I’ve been looking for you.” “Sh\ don’t make a scene here.” “You contemptible little masher—” “Not here, I tell you,” insisted the other, as lie shook his arm free. “It’ll hurt you more than it will me.” “I don’t rare, I’ll—” * “Do you heart” repeated the other, sharp ly, “it’ll hurt you more than it will me.” ' Perhaps the rugged truth of this penetra ted the intelligence of the older roan through his rage. He cursed his companion furiously, and, still flushed with anger, led him across Madison square, the younger man talking in an eager, argumentative, and explanatory way. Judge Edward L. Andrews, who was one of the spectators of tho little scene, looked after the pair, and said quietly: “That was a close shave." “Yes, I thought ho was elected that time.” “Ho belongs to a curious set of New York men,” continued the Judge. “They are creatures of a recent growth, and I doubt very muoh if similar specimens of the genus man can be found anywhere else in the world. They are called‘mashers’ in a gen eral way, but they are in no sense like the gorgeous London man who has given the word ‘masher’ its highest meaning. The British masher is a creature of noble ap parel, solemn and dissipated air, advanced degrees in the courts of bankruptcy', and general impressiveness. He wears a great many suits of clothes during the week, affects a burlesque actress, and drives dashing traps. The little circle of masher's in New York has none of these proclivities. They are men who have lived on the surface of the town for many years, whose names are familiar in ail of the restaurants and clubs, and who have gained in one way or another reputations as slayei-s of feminine hearts, which stand them in enormous value. They are not in society, sneer at the idea of toil, live in the best possible manner, dress quietly, and are absolutely mum about the numerous affairs in which they ]>ass their lives. I know a dozen men in this particular crowd, but I never knew ono of them to break the rules of the peculiar free masonry which apparently exists among them to keep quiet about their escapades. They may be ever so jovial, very far gone in their cups, and talkative as magpies, but a woman’s name never drops from their bps, and they refrain absolutely from inter fering with each other’s schemes. This is the most curious feature of the whole thing. A masher who does not talk when success has crowned his efforts would be a rarity anywhere else except in this extraordinary coterie. They are a queer lot, and I can’t say that I consider them a credit to the city.” The Judge strolled on, and in a few min utes the disappointed crowd had melted away. It affords a droll study of human nature to watch the operations of the mashers. Most of their faces are as familiar to up town people as the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Their inode of life is simple. Take for in stance a cold and austere man, with a blonde moustache, a regular profile, square shoul ders, and careless caraiage, who has been more or less famous about town for fifteen years. He has a scar running diagonally across his forehead, ami just above it is a single lock or “splash" of hair that is as white as snow, though the rest of his hair is dark. I have heard it enviably remarked by other mashers that, this "entlenmn’s chief success is duo to the immobility of his face, the yellowness of his moustache, the white ness of the splash, and the dark mass of hair which throws it into such sham relief. He is, in fact, known as “His Contrasts” in some quarters. Fifteen years ago, a woman followed him in a cab down Firth avenue, slipped out as he ascended the steps of a rival’s house, ran up the steps, and pushing a revolver against his head, blazed away. The bullet, instead of going through the skull, ran across the forehead. She went to Europe in the arms of her amia ble husband, and “His Contrasts” retired into painful obscurity for a time. Five years after that he was mixed up in a row which is still talked about by old-timers. It was a three-cornered fight— one woman and two men—in the cabin of a yacht in the lower bay. When they dragged ‘‘His Contrasts” out he was pretty well knocked to pieces. Two ribs were broken and his general physical welfare very sensi bly impaired, but' he came up smiling as usual. I have known him for many years. He has but one object in life. His manner of living varies little from day to day. I have had many opportuni ties for observing him, as we once had neighboring apartments in the sarno hotel, and he used to amuse himself when he had an occasional half hour of leisure from his arduous duties by turning the pictures in my room wrong Bide foremost, bribing the chambermaid to sew the bangings into all sorts of grotesque liositions, littering my desk with violent telegrams and indulging in various other cheerful and endearing pranks. At 10 o’clock every morning the chambermaid pounded loudly at his door. A smothered response wax the only answer. Then she would hammer harder than over with the heels of tho masher’s boots, which he hail left out over night. After the tattoo had been kept up long enough, a husky and deep-chosbwi voice, which might have come from the boots in the girl’s hands or from the base of the elevator shaft, would howl: “'Vhat’s up?” “Ten o’clock, sir.” “Oh, no,” tho masher would reply with intense sarcasm; “you don’t string me on ■my such little plot ns that.” “Indeed, indeed It is, sir.” ‘ls whut?” the voice would inquire sleep ily ns it, droned off into a partial snoro. “I* ten o’clock!” the girl would scream, starting the tattoo afresh, for she knew if he ever went off tho second time it would take ' wo or three porters to rouse him. If the tattoo was loud enough the door W'eul4 open suddenly, there would be a wild scroam and a j ottering of feet, as the charn berraaid scudded out of danger, and the masher would rush out into the hall clad in Pajamas, bath robes, nightcap, felt slippers, and carrying a sponge the size of a bushel basket. He would then wander, in a more °r leas desultory way toward the bathroom, stopping to pound on doors that, caught his lightsome fancy, and shying boot* through the transoms of rooms whore men lived who had tho distinguished misfortune to possess r“ s friendship. About an hour and a half later he wound wander into the main dining rixan of the hotel, cast his ex perienced eye ovw tho people assembled ll ’re, and eat a very light breakfast. He w °re a frock suit all day long, and his tailor made lialf n dozen a year for him. After “rrftkfa, q j, 0 invariably lighted a big cigar, SjSi • if thrt weather was clear, strolled up fifth avenue as far as Central Park, and ’■'nilnd niitmbly upon the troops of pretty girla who .were out wttb their govern****, uur*e, n oiipaojona. and chaperones, taking “■* inomlp,, air. Every gjrl over 10 years of age apparently knew his history, for they would stare at him and peep over their shoulders as he passed, in a fashion that would startle a society actor. At half iiast 1 or 2 o’clock he drifted slowly into Ddmonieo’s, scanned the faces, ac knowledged the surly nods of other mash ers with a short inebriation of his head, picked out his tabic with undeviating skill, and spent the next two or three hours among the wives and daughters of other men who were down town pursuing the elusive dollar. His habit is to eat slowly, and look, with a gentle and melancholy air, from one pair of pretty eyes to another. If the portraits of the handful of men who are a constant subject of talk among tho women of New York were published, they would cause a robust and decisive sort of derision. Tho majority of them are any thing but resplendent" or attractive. If there is a professional matinee, a picture sale, an art exhibition, a boat race, a crack horse auction, dog show, horse show, or cir cus going oa in the afternoon, the masher is as sure to be there as the ticket seller. At night he dines at tho Brunswick, Del monico’s, or the Hoffman House, but never in the cafe. In this way day after day passes without the slightest deviation. The mashers all know each other, they frequent the same places, they are popular with men and pur sued by women, and yet the occasions are exceedingly rare when they aro called do ac count. They are adroit and hold their tongues, and perhaps it is therein that their safeguard lies. Social position apparently has nothing to do with success, for there is a bootmaker’s clerk who stands high in the ranks, and there is a crack gambler con cerning whose audacity and nerve many anecdotes are told. A smug-faced man exists whose sole capital and stock in trade lies in the peculiar shade of his beard. It is cut square, and one side is light red, while the other is deep brown, This ghastly and unusual combination is sufficient to make him eminent among his fellows. Another man who has the reputation of hav ing run bigger risks and taken heavier chances than any of the rest, is a downcast and demulcent chap, with a long black moustache, sleepy eves, and close cropped hair. His moustache drops from his lips like a Turk’s. His eyes are very black, and he never smiles. There is a putty-faced youth who affects tho St. James Hotel, and who has appar ently not the faintest claim to any outward beauty, but he is said to have caused more anguish in family circles of New York than any man of his size in town. He is as in conspicuous as all the others He went about with such a sorrowful face all last week that the impression got abroad that he had t>9en hard hit somewhere. A friend approached him as he stood staring morosely at his boots, and said: “What makes you so ghoulishly glum?" “Misfortune.” “Very bad?*’ “Orful." “Whadist?” “Doctor says I mus’ limit m’self’thalf pint absinthe "day or drop sudd’nly dead.” “I’d drop dead if I drauk half pint in a month.” Without doubt the most astounding sue cess in this whole group of mashers, and a man to whom all the others now in town are tyros, is a slim and pallid-faced little man of perhaps 40 years, who is usually clad in a frock coat and an air of gloom, but who is recorded as a terror and a flaming menace everywhere. He has the nerve of a road agent and a wit that has almost made liim famous. It is of the peculiarly sharp and quaint order of humor that makes women laugh, and he has joked his way out of a dozen appalling scrapes. The mashers flourish. They spend their lives breaking up the homes and ruining the happiness of men who have the manliness and decency to let the property of others alone, but they are seldom called to account. It is a curious- phase of New York life that has brought out and matured this sedate, unemotional, quietly clad, and sinu ous gang, MONEY IN THEM. An Interesting Scene at a Prayer- Meeting in Dakota. Fi-om the Dakota Bell. One Wednesday evening about two months ago a prayer-meeting was held by the members of one of the leading churches in Aberdeen, this Territory. Owing to some repairs being made in tho church building it took place at the residence of a Srominent member of the church named awson, who was also a leading real estate dealer. The city was at that time in the height of a boom. The Rev. Bagley had charge of the meet ing, and after a number of those present hail offered prayer the reverend brother called on Brother Dawson. He accordingly knelt by a chair, and after a fitting intro duction" said: “And we desire to further thank thee this evening for allowing me to put my new North Side addition upon—” “Hold on, brother, hold on,” interrupted the Rev. Bagley, “It hardly seems to me proper for you to introduoe private real es tate deals in a supplication at a church prayer meoting. Don’t do it, Brother Daw ton.” But Brother Dawson was of a stubborn disposition, and tjiis only made him more de termined. He continued: “As I was saying, I desire to return thanks for thv providential guidance while plucing my North Side addition on the market. As thou probably knowest I have thrown the entire addition on the market at $450 per lot, though they are well worth —” “How’s that, brother?” put in the Rev. Bagley eagerly, as he took his face out or his hands and peered sideways ovor his spectacles from where he was kneeling in front of the sofa. “Four hundred and fifty dollars a lot, Elder,” answered Brother Dawson. “Good gracious!” replied the minister as he arose, “there’s money in those lots at that figure—just put me down for a block of about six—l’m willing to put my pile in North Side dirt at that rate at any time! Here, Sister Dawson, bring us a pen a min ute till we draw up tho deed; I don’t pro pose to take any chances on monkey busi ness on as g'xxl a deal as this. Just re main kneeling, friends; this matter won’t take but a moment’s time.” Very Awkward for the Husband. From the St. James Gazette. The London correspondent of the Irish Times, writing last night, -says: “A curious story regarding a hat Is current in the lohby of the House or Commons. It appears that on Friday night an elderly member, who is said to be of a jealous disposition, and. moreover, is possessed of a young and, or course, good-looking wife, took from the cloak room another member’s hat. On the following morning after breakfast he dis covered the strange lint on his Hat stand, and on closer inspection found that it was garnished inside with initials, above which wax a strange crest. The green-eyed mon ster wns instantly at work, eejiecially as his wife had returned from the south of France during his absence at the House on the pre vious evening. His favorite chapeau, of courso, being missing, he immediately in terrogated his wife as to who was her escort. The innocent dame was highly indignant, and hotly deniod the impeachment. Seizing his Dehrett, the honorable member traced the offending hat to its lawful owner, and, journeying to his solicitor, indicted a very strong epistle to the eldest son of a peer who sits on the op posite side of the House threatening him with all sorts of penalties for the insult offered to his honor. The young scion of nobility im mediately grasped the situation, having himself had to travel home in a strange hat, and kept up the joke by sending the en raged husband a solicitor’s letter charging him with stealing the initialled hat from the cloak room of the House of Commons On receipt of this epistle It immediately dawned on the elderly M P. that he had made a r~i.c.ir and he forthwith made a personal apology Blnoe 2 o’clook this (Monday) af ternoon he ba been strenuously trying to offooß pair for the rout of the session." THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER R, 1887. REGARDING FRENCHMEN. Max O’Rell Writes a Few Generlities About His Countrymen. From the Liverpool Courier. The real pretender iu franco is not the Comte do Paris or Prince Victor Napoleon, not the Due d’ Aumale or Prince Jerome; the real pretender is the Paris workman. If you speak to him of “tho people,” it is he, and ha alone, whom he suppose you mean. The millions of quiet | Miasm its, laborers and other rural toilers he totally ignores; he is the “sovereign people.” The Parisian work man is not satisfied with the old cry: “What is tho capitalist? Everything. What ought he to be? Everything.” A member oi the commission appointed by the late French Parliament to inquire into the Paris workman’s life asked one of them to get up tho budget of his family expenses. After describing minutely all the necessaries the workman put down, “For music halls, theatres, distractions, SOO francs.” Suppose the country engaged in war, tho Paris work man endorses a uniform and sings war songs, but the peasant sees his land laid waste and his cottage burnt down, and this is why you will understand that he feels it his duty to hate the Germans in a theoreti cal way, but hopes and trusts that he may be called upon to avenge the disasters of the terrible year 1870. The French never, or very seldom, allow themselves to be completely absorbed by business. They always set apart a certain portion of time to the amenities of life. They aro as serious ns you like at work, but in a moment they will exhibit any amount of good humor at play, and again will re sume the harness as quickly as it was thrown off. If you go into a shop at dinner time — I speak now of small provincial towns—you may run the risk of receiving very little at tention, or even none at all. I remember onee—it was at St. Malo, in the summer—l entered a hatter’s shop at 1 o’clock in the afternoon. A well-dressed, lady-like girl came out of the back parlor and inquired what I wanted. “I want a straw hat, mademoiselle,” I said. “Oh! that’s very awkward just now." “Is it?” “Well, you see,” she said, “my brother is at dinner;” and after a pause of a few sec onds she added, “Would you mind calling again in an hour’s time ?” "Not at all,” I replied; “I shall be delight ed to do so.” I was not only amused, but struck with admiration for the independence of that worthy hatter. After a few years' residence in England a little scene of that description was a great treat. An hour later I called again. The young girl made her second appearance “My brother waited for you for quite ten minutes,” she said to me; “he is gone to the cafe with a friend now.” “I am sorry for that,” I said; ‘ ‘when can I see him?” “If you will step across to the cafe, I am sure he will be happy to come back and at tend to you.” I thanked the young lady, wont to the cafe, and introduced myself to the hatter, who was enjoying a cup of coffee and hav ing a game of dominoes with n friend. He asked me to allow him to finish the game, which, of course, I was only too glad to do, and we returned to the shop together. When we French appoint anew govern ment official it is anew master that we give to ourselves to snub us or to bully us. I have an interesting illustration of this. Two young chemists (one English, the other French! were in partnership in Paris, and one day made up their minds to start afresh in Egypt. Each wrote to his consul in Cairo. The Englishman’s letter ran this: “Dear sir: I am about to open business as a chemist in Cairo. Will you lie good enough to tell me what are my chnnees of success iu Egypt and what formalities, if any, I should have to comply with before entering uron the undertaking. Yours truly, John.” By return of post he received a most polite .letter, containing all the detailed informa tion he wanted. The young Frenchman wrote. “Monsieur lo Consul-General: lam desirous of setting up as a chemist in Cairo. Dare I hope that you will spare a few min utes of your valuable time to give me such information and adVioe as you may con sider likolv to tie of use to me? With "many apologies Monsieur le Consul-General, with greatest respect, your most oliedieut and humble servant, Jacques." This letter wax written four years ago. The dear fellow is still waiting for that consul’s reply. Of course his English friend is now established in Cairo, confortable and prosperous, doing a roaring trade in pills with the new pro teges of her Britannic Majesty. Not long ago I was told the following anecdote: A Frenchman and an English man, having to settle a quarrel, were locked in a dark room. The whole night the Eng lishman sought to discover his French foe, but failed to do so. It apjiears that the Frenchman had reti-eatod inside the chim ney. Well, I am bound to say I heard this very same anecdote in France when I was a boy; but then, dear reader, it was the Englishman who went up in the chimney. Max O’Rell. WATTERBON ON RANDALL. Editorial Correspondence of the Louis ville “Courier-Journal.” There are many good Dcmocats, I am sure, in Pennsylvania. In fact, there is a strong minority of them. But they will never amount to much, and they ought not to count for much, until they have taken Mr. Randall by the s 'at of the breeches and pitched hint ovor into the Republican camp, where be belongs. He is no more a Demo crat than Pig-Iron Kelley. Ho is kept in Congress by the Republicans for their "own party piirjx>ses. He stays in the Demo cratic party, and professes to boa Democrat, to serve the Republican masters to whom be belongs and wig) pay him the price of his seat in the House. To put him out, and to keep him out, tor the traitor that he is, and has always been, is not merely honor and <lti!)’. but prudence. He is hurtful only whilst masquerading as a Democrat. There ought to he no bones about it, nor any personal feeling whatever. The man is an enemy to the Democratic party, open anti flagrant, and almost profoesod, because his frequent collusions with tho Republi cans, in advance of the action of that iiarty, can bo established. Mr. Randall lias, of course, his right to do ns he pleases. But the party must protect itself, and it will do this If it has any discipline left. In the Chicago convention, whose plat form the Allentown convention indorsed, Mr. Randall and his associates were beaten horse, foot and dragoons. On every divis ion in the platform committee they went to tho ground. Their candidate for chair man, Mr. Randall’s own representative, the late Malcolm Hay, was defeated for chair man of the committee by Mr. Morrison, who made the report to the convention. Butler's minority resolution, which re flected Mr. Randall’s politics and opin ions, was voted down overwhelmingly, yet the Randall crowd, and the new.xi>apers, which run the Randall machine, habitually state exactly the reverse mid claim the plat form ax their peculiar and particular vic tory. Hence Mr. Randall's desire to get a delay by indorsing tho Chicago platlorm. His idea wax that ne aud his friends could then go on with their double dealing and falsifications of truth until Congress meets when they can and will resume their accus tomed negotiations with the Republicans to betray the party once again into the hands of the enemy. This is the whole case. Meanwhile Penn sylvania will poll her usual Republican ma jority. Such is Eastern politic*. Merchants, Reed This.

PALLIOANT. LIT DDE V A BATES S. M. H. NOW I F You could get a Fine Plano nt a very low price and on most remarkably easy terms for pay ment, wouldn't you btty It right now ? Well, you can do Just that very thing right now, but not some other time. We happen to have on hand a large number of Fine Pianos, not quite new. but used, some a few months and some a year or so. but all with eases repolished and looking as If fresh from Factory. i These must lie sold. We need room for New Stock, and to close them out quick we put prices very low indeed—much less than actual value —and also make Specially- Easy Terms! Rented until paid for. Yes, that's it. Anew plan entirely. Ottr Quarterly Rental Plan. Ten Quarterly Payments buys Ihe Plano. The quar terly rental is ton per cent. of the price of Piano, and this paid regularly for ten quarters will buy the Instrument. Thus, if llano Is priced at 9300, ten quarterly payments of S2O will liny It, thus giving almost three years for payment. ANOTHER POlNT.—Suppose you want n Fair Piano at small cost, Well, we have them at SBO, $75. S9O, SIOO and $125 In good order (not worn out) that w ill do excellent service for many years yet, Indeed, we have some grand bar gains In these, and they are also sold on the Rental Plan. These Pianos are represented exactly as they are and will be exchanged if not satisfactory. We keep In tunc and order for one yoar those sold within the city limits. LIIIEN 4 MIIS Music TTouse.
