f! GHASTLY REVELELS IN A NEW
YORK SALOON.

Nasty Cdlu When "Oaomu" and

Skeletons and Skulls.
SCORE of rollick
ing, noisy fellows,
young and old,
gathered about a
musty, worm-eaten
bier deep down in a
mustier old cellar,
eating bread and
beefsteaks; a coffin
for a sideboard,
holding foaming
flagons and tobies
of ale; a great jar of tobacco and dozens
of long-stemmed church warden pipes;
all this walled in with tuns and hogs
heads of wine, casks and barrels of
brandy and whisky, flasks of rare old
cordials, and over all the dust of dec
ades and gleaming skulls peering
down from odd places through the
dusk, which the flickering candle light
only served to make more ghastly, says
the New York World.
This is not a picture from degenerate
Paris, but an actual scene In old New
York. It is one of the monthly meetings
of the Onomes—a drinking club of old
Ninth warders, and held in the sub
cellar of a famous-time drinking place
at the corner of Fourth and Charles
streets.
, “ » not a new institution—this
gathering of sub-surface revelers, -with
their ghoulish tastes. For upward of
fifty years the Ahrens, father and son,
have kept a drinking place in the little
old Dutch red brick building, and dur
ing that time It has been a favorite re
sort for the politicians and men-about
town of the old Ninth ward and old
Greenwich village.
This place Is now kept by Henry
Ahrens—“Handsdme Harry” they call
him. It consists of a large barroom,
with a sitting-room in the rear. The
barroom Is itself unique. It Is a low
celllnged room with oaken floor,
which Is kept as clean as scrubbing
brushes can make It. Half a dozen
handsome rugs cover the floor. A
quaintly carved old Bnglish settee and
three or four comfortable rocking
chairs and a Turkish stool add to the
unsaloon-llke aspect of the place.
Two groups of life sized statuary—one
a Faith, Hope and Charity, and the
other a Venus—occupy prominent
places In the room. They are surround
ed by potted plants and tropical ever
greens.
The Inside room Is a museum of
curious, Incongruous, yet artistic treas
ures, some of them rarely Interesting.
The chief Interest In the place, how
ever, lies In the old cobwebby cellar,
or ratyier In the banquet room of the
cellar. This Is a little room, not more
than fourteen feet square, walled In
with barrels and casks grimy with dust
and cobwebs. Thick, black webs hang
from the weather-stained rafters, and
where the spiders have failed to string
their nets artificial webs have been
made of pack thread to which papler
, mache spiders as big and ugly as horned
toads ding and wink their glass bead
. wyes with looks of devilish ferocity.
: Two bats live in the cellar and occa
sionally stir up the dust with their
skinny wings, and skulls grin every
Om thing that Is always pointed
out to a visitor Is a cask of Madeira
wins which it is claimed is forty years
old. It is so old, or rather the cask is,
that the hoops look as If they were fall
. : tng off. The cask Is never tapped ex
cept on the occasion of a marriage or
birth in the family, and upon the oc
casion of the five-year unions which the
old Roosters hold. Another old cask
of liquor is Otard Dupuy brandy, which
has been in stock since 1860. This is
■ever touched except for medicinal
purposes, and upon a physician’s pre
scription.
An enormous coffin, in which la a pa
pier mache skeleton, and the worm
' eaten bier are the principal articles of
furniture. The coffin is the sideboard
ef the club.
A similar apartment—but little more
than a niche in the walls of barrels and
casks and hogsheads, holds the ancient
and rusty cook stove where the ban
quets of the midnight revelers are pre
pared. There are no chairs or stools.
The guests sit around on beer kegs
and rough planks. The first thing
to meet the eye of the visitor, when his
eyesight gets used to the dark, is a huge
blackboard, reaching from ceiling to
floor, upon which is a hideously drawn
skeleton.

An Old Boldier’a Recommendation
In the late war I was a soldier in the
First Maryland Volunteers, company G.
During my term of service I contracted
chronic diarrhoea. Since then I have
used a great amount of medicine, but
when I found any that would give me
relief it would injure my stomach, until
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea remedy was brought to my notice.
I used it and will say it is the only
remedy that gave me permanent relief
and no bad results follow. I take pleas
ure in recommending this preparation to
all of my old comrades, who, while
giving their services to their country,
contracted this dreadful disease as I did.
