IS
AN EX-MINISTER A BAR-KEEPER.
He (lave Up the Bible For a Saloon-
Keeper'* Guide.
The Rev. Jullue Krlcke, who left «he
pastorale ot the Flrat German Evan-
Sfltcat church ot Jersey City becauee
he could not earn enouih to live on and
went Into the saloon business four
weeke ego. mined a' cocktail tor me
yesterday.
He wee standing behind hla bar In
the little ealoon "Zum Adler" at Gar
den and Blxth streets, Hoboken. He
handles the glassware a little awkward
ly, yet before long practice will give
him the moat recklcaa abandon In the
use ot the gum bottle and tba ginger
squirt.
It Is a corner saloon In a neighbor
hood bf churches which the llev. Mr.
Felcke conducts, and he harmonises
wonderfully well with hie surround
ings He la a middle-aged man, with
small aide whiskers cropping eut In
front or hie ears, and he wears gold-
tlmmed glasses, which do not har
monise very well with hla barkeeper's
jacket. He doesn't seem to regret the
very radical departure he has made
from the pulpit to the bar, from the
lcctum to the beer pump.
Ills wife, a red-cheeked, cheery little
woman, was silling at a table In the
saloon, and watched him In hie new
duties with evident approval.
“Pastor.'' I asked. “I am weary and
need a bracer. Can you mis me a
Manhattan cocktalir*
“Certainly." said he. “I have books
upon the subject." He pointed to a
well-thumbed copy of the “Rartender'e
Guide," which lay upon lbs table.
There was a Juggling of various bot
tle* with metal cape, and the prep
aration ot the cocktail began. He could
Place some ot the Ingredients, yet,
with the kindly aid ot hla wife, he was
able to proceed. He mixed this cock
tail In a whisky glass, without Ice, and
stirred It up with a spoon. Hero te hie
recipe:
Oum one-half Inch
Raspberry syrup ene-halt Inch
Vermouth ..........three drops
IQrange hutere.................six drops
Whisky one tableapoonrul
*t'he result was a mixture which
Usted like a grateful cordial often pre
scribed foe Infanta. U woe sweet and
bland and oily. And yet that cocktail,
combined with a glass ot beer, pro
duced a moat whirring and riotous ef
fect.
"Pastor.” I asked as I clutched the
her rail ant vouched the dancing
the gum botweiand the beer pue
“Do you always iftak* them that way?"
"Always..atr." replied the domtnle,
at he rinsed a couple ot here glasses.
"Do you tike the taste?"
"The Utte Is exquisite," I said. "It
is like nectar. 1 feel strangely."
. "You will become acenavomed to
them In time," he sal.l, sympathetic
ally. "Have another with me. What,
no! Well, some other time."
Ihiator Felcke ha* been in possession
of his saloon for shout four weeks, lie
told mo yeetorder that hla salary of *900
a year, as a minister, would not support
him and his family, of a wifo and live
children, so lie concluded to go luto llio
saloon business. jlo left hie charge to
other hands and established the "Zum
Adler" iu tho name ot hla minor eons,
Herman and Otto.
Herman, who Is 17 ymrt old, is a clerk
in a Brooklyn drug store, and Oorio, 16
years eld, Is at school. The license was
taken out In the Rev. Mr. Felcke's
same.
"What could I do?" replied the cler
ical lurtvnder .when I asked If he haA
any compunctions of conscience. "A
man must live, must ho not?"
He said that as-there was no excise
lew In Hoboken he kept open on Sunday'
and did not consider It wrong for a man
to get a drink on the llrat day of tho
week. "I do not, though." he said, nod
ding to n covered |uo! table, "penult tho
young men to play pool ou Sunday. It
le a waste of time which might be bet
ter emplaynl-"
"Is It true, pastor." I asked "that you
preach some times In the rooms over
jour saloon r*.
"Thai." he replied, Ta false. I think
that there ere enough churebea hero
without my preaching. I atter-d church
every Sunday and am still a member of
the aertnxn Evangelical church, al
though I no longer prraeb. I do not be
lieve, like Dr. RJnsford. that church and
eeloon should he mind. I received a
visit the other day from the Rev. Mr.
Rudolph ,a pastor of the church which
I attend, and he told me that I did right
la leaving the chnrrh If I could not sup
port my family by rrtnainiug la It.
"Reside*, I hare been vlsted hy many
nbeta ot my former congregation In
Jersey City, who wish me well. I sell
nothing to Intoxicated persons or to
minora. Families may come to this sa
loon. I aril mostly beer and ginger ale
The dominie rhowol me about hie
place with evident pride, dwelling upon
the new turkey- red paper, the bar with
Its glitter of braaavrerk and varnish and
the polished round table* filled with sau
cers for the holding ot beet glasses,
lilt wife stood at bis elbow and seemed
tdtnaed and happy In her husband's new
calling la life.
The minister does not talk English
Hit conversation wat entirely In Ger
man. According to hla account ot him
self, he is 64 years old and has served
the church for twenty years. He is a
graduate of the University of Bert In and
taught in the high school in Hamburg
for several years. He was ordained as
the pastor of a small church in Aliens,
where he remained four years. He served
a church in ttalxfieo. Westphalia, three
years, and the Lutheran Reformed
church In Thalle, Westphalia, for thir
teen years.
He came to this country on account of
hla rheumatism. He had n pension from
the aermnn government, and that with,
tho *900 he received from hla Jersey City
congregation was not enough to support
himself and hla family. Hence he went
into the saloon hiuiuess.
A TRIBUTE TO DR. J. EMMETT
BLACK8HEAR.
The death of no man In Georgia
would probably leave so great a void
In the Masonic world as that of him
whose name heads this article.
Endowed hy nature with the highest
order of Intellect, coupled with a zeal
ous love for the Mystic Order, It un
folded Its hidden treasures most read
ily to the touch of his masterly hand.
Where others lees gifted plodded
along seeing only rude and uncouth
rubbish, the path to him was strewn
with bright, glittering gems of purest
ray.
How often have his brethren of this
city heard and.profited by hu words
of wisdom and hla clear and lucid In
terpretation of the hidden mystica. No
one at all familiar with his knowledge
ot Masonry can for a moment doubt
his superior knowledge of the craft and
the exalted niche his name le entitled
to occupy In tte temple.
In this connection the following ac
tion of Landrum Lodge No. 48 of Sa
vannah utter sentiments that are emi
nently true and appropriate:
Savannah, On.. Nov. 15. 1S95.—'This
Lodge has learned with deep sorrow
ot the desfh ot Pest Grand Secretary
J. Emmett Blaokshear, which occurred
tn this dtp today. Brother Blaok-
sheaFs eminent services In behalf of
Masonry tn Georgia has given him an
exalted place In the esteem of his
brethren throughout this grand Juris
diction. Hts frequent visits to this
Lodge and the active interest in Its
welfare which he evinced on all proper
occasions endeared him especially to
the members of Landrum Lodge.
Therefore It l*
Resolved. That tn the death ot
Brother Blackahear, Masonry la Geor
gia Is bereft ot one of Its most loyal
and distinguished votaries.
Resolved. That the secretary of this
Lodge Is Instructed to transmit to the
family ot Brother Blackahear a copy
of these resolutions aa an expression of
our erection tor him and our profound
sympathy for hts loved ones In their
bereavement.
