A SINISTER LANDMARK.
THE DISAPPEARANCE OF A NEW
YORK SLUM.
Harry Hill’s Famous Eleph .nt is Dead
Sow the Place Was Managed-It
Didn’t Pay to Antagonize the Police.
( Copyright , 1888.)
New York, Sept. 32.—Not all the monu
ments of a big city are built of bronze and
marble. Harry Hill s was built of brutality
and mud; but it was none the less a metro
politan monument in its time.
Wcen I first began to see life in New
York, a visit to Harry Hill’s was part of
the programme of existence. To sea the
elephant in all his glory. And to see the
eleuhaut was then a sort of duty every
Now Yorker and every visitor to Now York
owed himself. One had perforce to seek
him in his stall at Houston and Crosby
streets.
Harry Hill’s elephant was fed chiefly on
whisky and champagne, ami more or less
tenderly groomed by your g women of free
manners and unconventional views of life.
It would astonish the public to-day to know
of the unlikely votaries who came to pay
their tribute to this queer metropolitan idol
But it was a different New York after all.
So different, indeed, that the elephant hun
ters who penetrated the Houston street
jungle a quarter of a century ago, would
scarcely recognize it in this year of grace.
Harry Hill's was, in fact, a survival in
New York of the wild London of the days
of Pierce Egan’s “Tom” and “Jerry."
current fashion condoned its existence. It
was. probably, as vile and wicked a place as
there was in town, but it was allowed to be
a sort of feature of the city like Trinity
church in its way, or the stock exchange.
And to complete one’s social education the
diploma of a visit to Harry Hill's was as
necessary as is a dress suit to a Patriarch’s
ball.
Mamma might chide young Sappy, fresh
from college, for drinking in water by the
quart at noon, after having been brought
home at daylight in a hack, so badlv mixed
up with little Pappy, young Snappy, aud
a couple of others that the hackman had to
untangle them like eels in a tub
before the butler could pick his
young master out. But when Sappy
replied between groans, “Fact was
inam, a lot of us fellows went to Harry
Hill’s to s<>e a set-to t>etweeu Plug-Ugly
Pete and Mcßorley’s Bat,” mamma had
nothing more to say. Had not old Sappy
been to Harry Hill’s in his day, too, and,
between ourselves, also come home in a
hack when the sky was gray?
“What men can see in those awful places,”
Mrs. Sappy would sigh, “one cannot really
imagine, dear.”
And Mrs. Pappy, whose own son and
heir would be in the hands of a doctor,
would agree with her that the fancier of
the ruder sex were quite past finding out.
But to seriously rebuke their scions for
conforming to a practice which time bad
made almost honorable would not enter the
mind of either of these worthy mothers of
the Bacchi.
HARRY HILL.
Harry Hill’s formed a sort of center for n
lawless district, and a headquarters the
most lawless men and women in Now York.
All the vileness of the city settled in the
slum of which it was the chief landmark,
as water settles or stagnates in a horse jx>nd.
The history of the district is red with blood
and black with brutal crime. Kvery other
house in it had witnessed its murder. The
streets were as thickly beset with bandits
as the Forest of Bondy. Within its walls,
howevor, actual lawlessness at the public
expense had no place. The one virtue—if
virtue it can be called —that ever attached
to the den lay in the fact that the proprie
tor ruled it with a rod of iron, and resented
any infraction of its rules as mercilessly
as a judge upon the bench.
“Them's my laws," ho would say, nod
ding at the numerous house rules emblaz
oned o the walls, “and them that comes
here is governed by them.”
They were by no means unwise rules,
either. One forbade indecentconvorsation,
and another forbade political discussion.
One prohibited unseemly porsonal de
meanor, another warned tho company that
dishonesty on detection would bo promptly
punished. It used to be said of Harry Hill
that hesllowod no one to rob a guest but
himself, and the remark was strictly true.
There was as much policy as intrinsic
merit in this. The establishment having
become a sort of show place, it attracted
the stranger from his hotel, as well as the
rounder from his club and cafe. The pro
prietor clearly understood the necessity of
protecting bis guests while they were be
neath his roof. He fleecedyou, but ho did
it civilly. He sold you bad liquor ami
worse wine for the price of the best; but he
did not allow anyone else to infringe upon
his prerogative;and New York never had
a police force to equal the ruffians iu the
pay of this cool-headed speculator on the
vicious instincts of the town.
HOME FROM UAKRY’S.
One squad of them would lie drawn up
against the wall near the entrance, each
man with his hand upon the blackjack in
his pocket. Another would rally at the
farther end of the hall. At the first signal
from their master there would be a rush of
feet, blows, imprecations; howls of anguish
and wrath, and a dull thumping down the
►tairs. Then all was over. If the tiling
that had been shot out on the sidewalk did
not come to itself and crawl away, the po
lice might remove it, or the ambulance.
So well was this poliev understood by
even the most desperate scoundrels who
frequented the bar-room and tho dance
hou.-o that you might have carried your
fortune and thrown it on the table, secure
that it would not be touched. Once tho
door had closed behind you, however, and
you wore again on the street, it was an
oiher matter: and tf tho kennels and sew rs
of Houston street hail tongues, they might
tell strange stories of dark n >d and -sperate
crimes committed under the shadows of
these waju.
In the days when Harrv Hill flourished
most luxu iantly New York was full of
such dives as his, conducted, however, on
a less rigid basis. They reached their
glory In the war time, when the town was
populous with dissolute and loose-living
men, with abundant money to waste. Aft
er the war they declined again; and what
with the interference of the police and the
negligence of the public which had com
menced to outgrow it* brutal social stage,
they dissapimnr and one by one.
It was a < a-e of the extinction of the un
fittest. While his rivals passed away end
were forgotten, Hill s grew and flourished
like a sturdy weed upon the city’s dung
heap. From the single dancing-hall over a
bar-room, in which guise I first knew it, it
expanded into quite a spacious establish
ment, occupying several houses on a street
comer. Originally given over to the dance,
and to the dance of such a character as the
dancers of the slums are addicted to, it
eventually secured a theatrical attachment.
On a little stage in one corner of the dan
cing hall more or less vulgar performances
were given, with variations of a pugilistic
character, to defray tho expenses of which
it was the custom of the fistic heroes to
circulate the hat among tiie audience.
Drink was sold throughout the place, being
served at tables by women; and iu tho in
tervals of the stage performance a portion
of the floor was given over to any of the
audience that wished to shake its heels.
As I look back on this dingy hull, thick
with smoke, with its knots and clusters of
evil-visaged men and tawdry women, with
its clatter of glasses and tho turmoil of a
lively drinking place, I have a curious re
miniscence of several players who would not
thank me for mentioning their names in
this connection, and who made their debut
on its squalid stage. There is a
star of quite considerable magnitude
now traveling on the road who came
out of a tenement house to play
at Harry Hill’s, and another, who, I
believe, began life as a sweeper in the
dirty bar down stairs, and graduated into a
serio comic singer, and eventually, an
actor—save the mark 1
How well I remember ono Christmas
eve, when thiz poor wretch, in almost
squalid rags, came on the stage to do his
turn, and did it so cleverly and merrily in
spite of all his misery, that he so touched
the heart* <fa gang of rollicking collegian*
who had possession of the gallery reserved
for genteeler guests, that they showered
hands full of silver on him until he gath
ered together more money than he ever
owned in his life before. I believed this
terminated his engagement at Harry Hill’s,
for when 1 next beard of him he was giv
ing his performances in a variety house on
the Bowery with a name taken from the
New York Ledyer, and a wood out from
tho I\>liee Gazette Job I'rint, representing
him as a cross between the Apollo Beivi
dere and Buffalo Bill.
There are other men who have achievi and
less consideration in the same line, who,
also began life as he did, but I never heard
that any of the female stars at Harry Hill’s
attained fame. What a fat and greasy lot
of vulgar harridans they were, with voices
that poured out of throats of brass, and
complexions from which the paint cracked
like whitewash from an old wall! “It
gives one a bad taste in one’s mouth to
look at them,” said oue of the sight-soers,
ono night, and he summed the fact up well.
Harry Hill made a great deal of money
and saved it. He waxed portly and ran to
jewelry. He wore a big masonic emblem
la bis shirt front and so many diamond
rings upon his fingers that he did not re
quire the assistance of brass knuckles when
arguing with an obstreperous customer.
Within twenty years after he came to this
country, a penniless English stable-boy, he
had become a comparatively rich man.
In the barbaric society in which be cut
such a figure, he was a mau of the foremost
importance. No prize-fight was complete
without the presence of Harry Hill. In
deed, on many an occasion, when the police
intervened to prevent some widely adver
tised encounter between cham pi ins of the
ring, the lawn on Harry Hill’s country
place on Long Island provided them with a
battle-ground.
The immunity that he enjoyed from po
lice interference lasted until a couple of
years ago. Then he made the mistake of
his life. He quarreled with the police.
According to his own story, he refused to
pay the tribute which he alleged, ami which
most intelligent people believe that the po
lice exacted from all whose business or
trade bring them at all within the surveil
lance aud favor of the force and in contact
with the law, and they marked him for
ruin. Probably he would have been pro
tected until now but for this. It was a re
form year, and the police had been receiv
ing some hard knocks from the press. So
Harry Hill’s doom was written.
As no establishment like his can bs run
without a gross and constant violation of
the excise laws, it was an easy matter
for tho police to find excuses for annoying
him when it no longer paid them to leave
him alone, liis bar-tenders were arrested
again and again. His waiter girls wore
arrested again and again. He was arrested
himself. Then a renewal of his license was
refused him. He endeavored to run his
establishment on a temperance basis, but
milk and soda water have no charms for
such customers as his. and viciousness un
baptiz dby fire has no savor. Finally, ho
was completely frozen out and vanished
from tho scenes of his protracted and pros
perous uselessness.
THE HAYSEEDS LOVE nAHRY’S ELEPHANT.
Now tho building which he occupied is
being torn down. The site which witnessed
his long career of successful defiance of the
law is to be occupied by large business
buildings, rind the last relic of the days of
Houston street’s era of brigandage will vau
ish forever.
It is not without interest to note that dur
ing the thirty-five years that Harry Hill
ran his curious and’thoroughly criminal es
tablishment he had no less a personage for
landlord than that world-famed moral
showman anil temperance advocate, the
great and only Phineas T. Barnuin.
