THE FIRE W VTER FIENDS. Ji ,TCIENI' AND MODERN BARTEND ERS DISCUSSED. The Glorious and Glowing Being: of Other Days How Stewart, the Great Saloon-Keeper, Can Tell a Good Bar tender-Why Ned Stokes Discharged a Bartender. [Copyrighted 18ft, 1 New York, Nov. s.—The bartend >r of to-day is not the glorious and glowing be :ng that he once was. He may have a politi cal! pull, but lie exerts it in a quiet anil un ostentatious way, and if Jue gets into poli tics it is because he has money outside of the bar. Millionaires may be pointed out all over New York to-day with the re mark: ‘ That man was once a bartender.” But twenty-five yam's hence it will not V possible to say so, except in very rare in stances. In olden times the man who stood behind the bar usually owned the business in <he course of two or three years, and the erstwhile proprietor spent the remainder of his life in more or less painful poverty, wondering bow the metamorphosis was ac complished, while his former bartender • oiled in a luxury of sudden wealth. But the system of checks, bell punches, stop watches, red flags, mechanical detectives, Argus-eyed inspectors, and other vigorous friends of truth and honesty have reduced the bartender of to-day to a minimum. There are only three or four big barrooms left in the whole city of New York w here bartenders have complete control of the linances and are trusted implicitly by their owners. I once saw Stewart, who is perhaps one of the most successful saloon keepers in New York, and who has recently died, tand near the door of bis place intently watching one of the men who stood behind the bar. The most impressive-looking of them all was a dimly-built man, with a coning blonde moustache. It was ho that Stewart stared at. The bartender was mix ing a cocktail. After lie had finished and wrval the drinks, Stewart, who was a wizened up little man without any preten sions to haughtiness or impressiveness, walked up and beckoned the bartender to come to him. The man sprang forward alertly. It happened that he and Stewart lalked within an inch of my elbow, and I lizard their conversation. ‘How long have you been here?” asked the famous saloon keeper shortly. “Two days, Mr. Stewart.” "Who recommended you?” “Alderman Mulhol'antL” ‘ ‘Go up to the desk and draw a week’s par and get out.” l’he man turned a shade paler and turned inquiringly at his boss. Stewart answered bis look testily with: •‘Oh, there is nothing particularly the matter with you, excepting that vou are always twisting your moustache and pulling your face, and there is no customer of mine wants a man to mix his drinks who is al ways pulling his moustache. I would ask you to stay here and let your face and whiskers alone, except that we are not teaching men how to be bartenders here.” j vsgMis., 'LwV.'tocoUO It is an admirable illustration of the care and drill that is now exercised over the men "ho now mix drinks for New Yorkers. The bartender bus indeed fallen into a place that 'ery closely resembles that of the waiter, and, as very young men are being con stantly pressed into the service and pushed forward because they are quick, wide awake and intelligent, the bar is no longer the lostrum for politics, horse racing and gam bling talk. There was a time when a man who knew a bartender familiarly enough to '■all him “Billy,” “Jimmy” or “Tonniv or whaterever his name might be, and who received a nod in return, felt so elated and aristocratic that he was bound to got drunk off-hand to prove his appreciation of the favors. An old-time bartender with his vast and ruffled shirt front, his large din mond pin, muggy Angers and elaborately curled hair exists no more. He was a man who knew it all. When he deigned to join in conversation it was invariably with a mysterious air that forced respect from the most ribald and careless of listeners. His usual formula was: “Well, gents, you can talk and talk about t bat there matter until you get black in the face, but I happen to be on the inside edge meself. A certain n rty, which I don’t care to mention his name here in public, has giv me the level facte in the matter, and if it don’t go any further, I jest as leave let you know how it stands.” Then would follow a cautious and care less relation of v/hat matters really were in a Bunsby-like secretiveness by the barten der. In point of fact, lie was a delicious old humbug, and about the only thing he really knew was how to make a strong cocktail and gat her in the returns. A man who had achieved considerable fame in the vicinity of Wail street as a roncocter of mixed drinks was transferred to the Hoffman House not long since and put behind the gorgeous bar. It was the ambition of his life to get there, and he was so elated at his success that he was more or less nervous and perturbed on his first arrival. It chanced that he had just put his apron on when a distinguished party of politi 1 ians strolled in. talking confidentially about the recent apointiaents. In the party were several famous men, and as the bartender glanced around from face to face he was more or less impressed. Commissioner Hess, who was in the party, waved his hand and said shortly. “See what the gentlemen will take,” and then went on with his conversation with the men who stood next to him. The bartender asked several men in rapid succession, and they indicated their prefer ence in the usual curt manner. Finally he leaned over the bar toward a man with " hite hair and a black moustache, who stood talking earnestly. For a long while he could not catch the man's ear. It was lift ward X. Stokes, the proprietor of the Hoffman House. The bartender spoke to him a second time, and, finally raisiDg bis voice,said respectfully: ill-'/ I a ;. - —t 1H ••*• ** QnMws*v."?rvcM*. • “'What will j-ou have, Col. Fisk?" Ntokes whirled around as if he had been *not, and a dead silence fell on the group, hile the bartender flushed and caught his breath. He had been thinking of the Fisk otokes assassination and it ran in his head so long that he got the two names mixed, ror an instant Stokes did not speak, then he turned abruptly and walked out of the barroom, while the others pretended to con tinue their conversation, but all the while fol lowing with their eyes the retreating form of Stokes. An instant later the Superin dent rushed exeiteely into the place, glanced [or a moment hurriedly around, went be hind the bar, stepped to the new barten der and two men nastily disappeared. An other bartender stepped forward, and a moment later Stokes returned to the group poking and as calm and serene as ever. But that bartender never put foot in the Hoffman Houso again. Men very often get sincerely attached to 'he bartenders who minister to their wants year after year in their favorite drinking places. There it a man m the Everett House • wno ha; held his position for twenty-five years. Nobody believes that the bar could exist for a day without him. In the same way the Gilsey House bar is presided over by a respectful, quiet and amiable artist named Butler, who is a model of careful ness and intelligence. If a man walks into ti:<> l: v House and tells Butler exactly how in- likes a cocktail to-day, and does not happen in again for five years, the barten will make him a cocktail precisely siniilru in every respect to the first one. There is no check upon hitn, and h is trusted by the big hotel implicitly. There are lots of local favorites of this sort, but they are gradually dying out. The proper bn tender of to-day approaches as nearly to n'.uchine-like ac curacy as possible. Men drink in great haste and have little time for conversation. The less obtrusive the bartender the nearer he approaches perfection. Blakely Hall. MRS. LANGTRY'S SUCCESS. The Way She Manages to Keep up Her Popularity. New York, Nov. 5. —It is a curious fact that of the thousands who annually flock to lay their tribute of admiration and their fl 50 at the feet of Mrs. Langtry in New York, not 1 per cent, have succeeded in truly analyzing her continued popularity. Ask any one of a dozen people you may meet during the day or evening, and it is al most a safe bet that their replies will cor respond within the sixteenth of an inch. They will tell you three parts of her draw ing power consist of the fascination which her beauty has for men and one part in her recently developed histrionic talent. Those who tell you are wrong. If they do not live in New York the error is natural and pardonable, but in New York it is in excusable. Here is her home, and here she appears as the woman quite as prominently as the actress. Her life is no mystery to her neighbors, and the true key to" her “wearing quality” is her success with women. In face of the notorious feminine jealousy of personal beauty in their own sex —except such as t hey may find in the mir ror—this assertion may seen absurd. But it is true, nevertheless. Follow Mrs. Langtry on an afternoon s shopping tour and see if I am not right. She enters a fasnionable milliner's ou Fifth avenue (she gets all her hats at one place). Her carriage, with the awfully pompous English coachman on the box and flic awfully diminutive but equally dignified and bebuttoned footman at the door, ‘ tends at the curb. The half dozen women of fashion in the place glance around as she appears. With perfect ease she passes among them and toan attendant gays in a conversa tional tone: “Tell Miss that Mrs. Langtry is here, please.” This lady appears and is greeted with a cordiality almost like that or a sister. But no gush. Then the work of choosing two or three becoming hats begins. No impatience, no disgust, no hauteur is visible. With a skill which is peculiarly her own she wifi succeed, before leaving the store, in getting the frank opinion of every lady present on each hat considered before making a de cision. This is all done in the most offhand and polite manner possible, as though she should say: “Now, we are all here on common ground and know each other’s weaknesses in the matter of personal adornment. Of course we are not acquainted, but it’s all in formal, don’t you know—just like being on shipboard—so tell me the truth.” Of course this isn’t what she says with her tongue, but with her manner. With a monosyllabic appeal she draws out each without apparently intending to do any thing of the sort, When she has finished she sits comfortably down upon a lounge ard has a nice little fivwmimute conversation with the head of the concern. Then with a smile she re-enters her car riage and is gone, and every lady in the place, including the employes, goes home and declares at dinner that Mrs. Langtry is the most charming woman she has ever met, despite the scandal mongers. And then, you know, each woman feels that she had a hand in the purchase of those liats, and she insists ou going to the thea tre the very next evening to see if Lang try wears one of them. This programme and this effect is repro duced at the Lily’s dressmaker’s, at her shoe maker's and at all her shopping points—and nearly all her shopping is done in New York nowadays. Her secret is this: She appreciates fully her own beauty and all that it is worth, and will freely discuss it in seeking garments which sets it off—but this she does in such a confidential yet frank manner as to disarm an enemy at one stroke. An illustration of this occurred within a few feet of me the other day: “Do j’ou know,” said Mrs. Langtry, “why some of my photographs in pi oflle are so pretty while others are not? Well, I will solve the riddle for you. Millais, the paiu ter, was frank enough to tel! me in London onee that while one side of my face was beautiful the other, he tnought, narrowly escaped being ugly. I suppose other peo ple have thought so, too, but they never told me.” It isn’t every pretty woman Who is pretty enough to talk that way. G. H. Fleming. Artists in Hiding Thirty Years. From the New Verb t Vorld. Cincinnati, G., Nov. 1. —Thirty j’ears ago the sudden and mysterious disappear ance of Edward Oritland and George Bryce, rising young artists of this city, caused the greatest sensa on. Nothiug was ever heard of them unti to-day and they were supposed to i.ve committed suicide. The Critlands ~rere well known and Bryce had attracted some attention by his work. Young Crit land had spent much time upon a large painting of a dog. It was placed on ex hibition at the Mechanics’ Institute, and won the most flattering notices. The artist was completely wrapped up in his work, and when one day a vandal ruined it the artist became frantic with rage. This was succeeded bj’ intense grief. He left the city for a few days, and on his return he met Bryce, to whom he related his woes. Bryce, too, had a grievance. He was possessed of the idea that ho was not his reputed father’s son. The two men resolved to forsake the world and devote their life to art. Without a good-by they disappeared and, after seven vears’ wandering, returned to Cincinnati and secured n lonely rear room at No. 9 East Third street. Lack of care and want, had so changed them that t hey were not recognised when they occasionally ventured out. For twenty years thej’ have eked out a miserable existence in the one room, painting one picture after another, to be destroyed and replaced by a better one. Thev picked up money for the pluinest food and'for paint by etching and munual labor. Quite by accident an old man, who knew one of them years ago, stumbled into their room and a series of circumstances revealed their identity. The Rev. Mr. Robertson, pastor of the Third Presbyterian Church, an art connoisseur, and William Wiswell, an art dealer, have called at the room. Both say some of the paintings are master pieces, and will make Critlaud and Bryce famous. They refuse ti sell at any price, reject all overtures to return to their fami lies, and consider the visits to them an im pertinence. Wonderful Cures. W. D. Hoyt & Cos., wholesale and retail druggists, of Home, Ga., say: “We have lieen selling Dr. King's New Discovery, Elec tric Bitters, and Bucklen’s Arnica Salve for four years. Have never handled remedies that sell as well or give such universal satis faction. There have been some wonderful cures effected by these medicine* in this city. Several cases of pronoiuiced consumption have been entirely cured by use of a few bottles of Dr. King’s New Discovery, taken in connection with Electric Bitters. Me guarantee them always.

Telegraph. “Yes, sir; I was a classmate at West Point with Jefferson Davis.” Seated In one of the arcade chairs at the Hotel Lanier, on Saturday, was an old man, neatly dressed in a brown suit, and having the appearance of a man who had retired from business on a competency and was taking life easily. He was quite a small man, Ills ruddy" face ornamented with tliin nisli gray burnsides and a crop uuder his pointed chin. He sat in the chair as if en joying the view of the many people stir ring about the arcade, his small, sharp twinkling eyes of gray resting upon every face as if he was looking for some familiar features. You would never suspect that he was B‘J years old, for he had been treated much better" by time than the illustrious man he claimed for his classmate. True, his hair and beard was almost as white, but lie had a firmer step, and there was a glow of health in his faee that Mr. Davis does not possess. “When was that?” asked a reporter who overhead the remark. “That was in 1824. We were in the same class at West Point, and he was one of the brightest boys that ever went away from Mississippi. He was an exceedingly hand some boy, with hair as black as a coal, of handsome form and mischievous and full of life, like all Southern boys He graduated in IB‘ls and in the same class was Hugh Mercer, father of George Mercer, and who was at the head of the class. I had a difficulty with the com mandant and had to go, leaving Mr. Davis there. ” “Where did you next see Mr. Davis?” “1 kept up with his career, but did not see him until 1848, while ho was our United States Senator. He was among the passen gers on board a steamboat on the Alabama river. We had traveled from New Orleans together and he was on Ins way to Washing ton. One day on the trip I was in conver sation with Gov. McAY illis, of Alabama, who was also a passenger, and he spoke of Col. Davis. While we were thus engaged, Col. Davis, whom Iliad failed to recognize, was walking up and down the dock talking with James Calhoun, brother of Patrick Calhoun, I asked the Governor what gentle men it was talking to Mr. Calhoun. He re ■pliedthat it was Col. Davis. Jeff Davis? I asked It was Jeff Davis.he replied. When he had finished with Mr. Calhoun I went up and spoko to him, but he said nothing until we hud reached the head of the lx>at, and then he said, ‘l’m trying to locate you,’ I then told him who I Was and he seemed delighted to see me. I saw him after that at Montgomery, and several times during the war.” “Have you seen him while here?” “Oh, yes. I went up to Col. John ston's house and he made Gov. Watts make room for me that he might talk to me.” “Tell me something of yourself. ” “Weil, after I was forced to leave West Point ,an uncle of mine, with influence, se cured me a midshipman’s berth on the Brandywine, the vessel that carried Gen. Lafayette back to France. The vessel was built at Washington, but he sailed from the mouth of the Potomac, Sept. 10 and lauded at Havre, Oct. 7, The night we left, there was a fearful storm, and we were in great danger of being wrecked. The next morn ing we found that tiiere was four feet of water in the hold from a leak that was not discovered until we returned home. We threw overih'ard a thousand jiounds of H 2 lb. shot and several tons of pig iron, and thus lightened, the vesWl sailed well. When ve left Havre there was another storm, and we hoisted signals. A vessel c one to our relief and we landed on the Isle of Wight, where i saw a big parade of soldiers. We remained fourteen days at Cowes, aud then passing Gibraltar, set sail on the Mediter reauean. I should bavo said that it was on this voyage that I had the pleas ure of meeting the wife of Lord Byron at Cowes.” “How old arc you?” “I am S3 rears of age. Here is a letter from my uncle written in 1774 and here is a deed drawn i‘ the same year. You will no tice that the handwriting is equal to any you see nowadays.” And so it was. The deed was splen didly written, the chirography being uniform and unique, yet plainly legible. The letter was of another kind, but in every respect as legible as that of the deed. “Let me tell you of a little incident of my visit here, and you must, remember that I came here expressly to see Mr. Davis. I moved from Milledgeville in 1839. That year an Irish servant stole the oil portrait of my wife’s father. Since mj’ arrival here I have received a letter from Miss Joe Var ner, who lives at Indian Spring. saving that about, fifteen years ago ghe happened to stop at a country house not far from Indian Spring, and was struck with a portrait hung on the wall. It seemed so out of place that: she asked about it and finally secured it, but could learn nothing of its history except that on the back of it was my father-in-law’s name. When Miss Joe road in the Telegraph of my presence here she remembered the name and resolved to put it in my hands, and I am waiting right here now for her, as she came into town last night. You see I will get a portrait stolen from me forty-six years ago.” This remarkable well-preserved man is Mr. D. E. Betton. He lives in Cuthbert, where he has two daughters, one of whom is the wife of Mr. Daniel Phelps, the well-known railroad agent at that place. Mr. Betton lives with his youngest daugh ter. He has active and retentive i n ory and tells manv interesting things no.s the early days of Milledgeville and Macon. They Will Not Do It.
