C. 0. RIVERS WRITES
ABOUT NEW ORLEANS
NEW ORLEANS, LA,
Dear News: —There is a greater
New Orleans with sky-scrapers and
all that goes to make an up to date
American citty. But all this may be j
seen anywhere, and is not worth
writing about.
It Is the old Orleans that can be -
seen no where else, but here. Ninety .
per cent of the people who pass '
through this town, never see the old ;
city, which is most of all worth see
ing.
The old city is now called the i
French Quarter and was the capital ,
of the Province of Louisiana, under ;
French and Spanish rule. 1 might |
write you a volume upon the history ;
of this old town and still leave most I
of it untold. I could take the French I
Market for a text and fill a whole
issue of the News. 1 will just say a
little about how the Creoles live in
this old quarter. The Creoles have
some beautiful graveyards, such as
St, Roches, St. Louis, No. 1, 2 and 3,
etc., and Meltaire cemetery. They
bury them on top of the ground, of
ten in walled up places like brick ov
ens. 1 mention these notable and
historic burying grounds merely to
show that the Creoles do die, after
awhile. But first they eat a great
deal, smoke a lot. drink some wine i
and absinth and rest and talk a plen
ty.
If you ever so through a Creole
cemetery you will never read on a
tombstone an epitaph like this: “He
was a good man; he got out of bed
every day of his life at four o clock
in the morning; he was so saving
and in such a hurry to do his work
that he never had a square meal in
his life; he never had enough sleep,
he had no time to rest all the week,
and was afraid Satan might get him
if he nodded on Sunday.' No. there
is nothing reading that way in
Meltaire. St. Roell or St. Louis bury
ing grounds of the Creoles. They
die when they get done doing every
thing else. Creoles not yet dead are
divided into two great classes —cooks
and eaters. Creoles divide time into
two grand divisions—eating and get
ting ready to eat. There are three
great events in the Creole day de
jeunner or breakfast at eight A. M
Seconele dejeunner or lunch at 12
M and dinner from 6 P. M. to 12.
If they have aay ttm® left bs'ween
! their meals sometimes they work a
little, but they are not lazy, these
i Creoles, they work about all the
j time they can spare from eating. Hut
j the great men among them are the
he cooks. Napolean himself was
bossed by a cook.
Fools rush in where angels fear to
trend and 1 would be like one of the
aforesaid fools if I tried to write i
an essay on cooking, but I can eat.
I have dined on tortillas and the ap
ple of the desert cactus. I have tast
ed Chinese chops suey, Neupolitan
hot dog, and many sorts of Dents-;
cher wurst. I have had coon and j
sweet milk for breakfast, also I
know what a nigger can do with corn
pone, hog jowl and biled turnip
greens. But I feel the want of de
scriptive talent when I go up against
a Creole dinner. I am living over
one of those world famed eating
joints in Ibenville street. French
Quarter. It would be like an ele
phant in a China shop for me to j
try to tell you about the dinner I
have just finished. I will first tell
you how it worked upon a luckier,
guest. He was a bride groom from
the piney woods. It was not his first
time to fool’a lady, but certainly his
first night in the city. They brought
him vermicelli soup, bye and bye. a
great big crab and towards the last
some cauliflower. Then he got hot.
"Lookee here. sir. aint you tryin to
poke it on me kase theys a lady with
me? 1 drunk that dishwater with
them white worms in it. kase it was
bad manners to notice em. Then you
brung me an her them two big thun
der bugs and I took it offen you lak
a man. But now here you cum wit
this old biled bouquet an I see you'll
: never stop till 1 make ye.'
Oh. this place of Jaconets is a
‘ great place to eat. When the great
men in the kitchen fries fish he
leaves the grease all out. And I
wish you could see a potato that he
has looked upon. You would newt
think it was cooked. It looks too
pretty. It has the pallor and the
blush of a brand new bride—the first
time ever. It is just as dainty as
if it had never seen a kitchen. To
eat that potato you might believe it
j had been picked from the vine just
as you find it.
That is the great art of cooking,
to cook things without being sus
pected of it, without being caught
red-handed in the act. I wish you
j could have seen the two minnows 1
had on the first'plate tonight. They
. to a happy e n ’t I know
THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS, THt
were dead and 1 think were cooked
because they came from the kitchen.
But when you come to the city go
down by the French Market and get;
i a breakfast at Begue’s. You may !
: have it either way—upstairs or down-,
’ stairs. Begue’s is a world-famed i
: place. Upstairs breakfast is an'
| aristocratic function. Fellows with i
I their varnish on them, fearful of get-|
1 ting it rubbed off, are always “very '
I exclusive, doncher know.’’ And they I
!go upstairs for breakfast at Be- ■
gue's. Downstairs it is democratic
and cosmopolitan-—dirty and world j
wide. If the paint on you goes in '
to the bone you need not be afraid
to eat downstairs at Begue’s, for I
the varnish on you can not rub off. j
You had better be sure though, for
this is a tough lot down here and
cheap paint will not stay on among |
them. . There is sawdust on the!
floor and a long narrow table with;
a bench on each side. There is one ■
loaf of bread about the size and al- |
most the shape of one of Bob Waters
pumpkins, only with more warts and
knots on it. It is just pure bread. |
brown and speckled and floury, but i
sweet. It is every mans chunk of!
bread. It is pushed and kicked, roll- I
ed and pulled and handed up and
down the naked table by Tom. Dick I
and Henry—no, by Johann, Juan.
Jose, Petro. Domingo and all the
rest, every fellow whittling off wnat
he wants of the staff of life.
Begue’s is on the Levee and here
at breakfast you meet the men who
go down to the sea in ships of all
the races and from all the lands.
Y'our elbow neighbor is a Lascar sail
or from Rangoon. Your visa versa j
a burley Norseman from Bergen or
a yellow haired dame from Copenha
gen. Here is a Sicillian from Messi-
, t’.a, a dago of Napier a Greek from 1
Saloniki, •!’ speaking n the tongues ,
of their native lands. This, is down
stairs. It is here they curse and
swear in all the tongues. These
coarse, plain men.
Are you shocked? If they are not
good enough, live with them and
make them better, if you dare. Don t
run from them, because if you do yot
will be the loser. Who are they?
Cut them out and see what is left in
the world. Oh. well grow yourself a
hide; get a bark, a big skin on you.
So long.
