A COFFIN SIDEBOARD. GHASTLY REVELELS IN A NEW YORK SALOON. Uk« the Paris "Oaf* of DMth"—Th* Mn»ty Cellar Whan “Gnome*" and "Chlckeni” Make Harry Amonf the Skeleton* and Skull*. 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 Gnomes—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. It is not a now 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—"Handsome 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 ceillnged 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 English 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 ?urlous, 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 rather 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 snd 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 papier mache spiders as big and ugly as horned toads cling and wink their glass bead eyes with looks of devilish ferocity. Two bats live in the cellar and occa sionally stir up the dust with yieir skinny wings, and skulls grin every where. One thing that is always pointed out to a visitor is a cask of Madeira wine 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 ing 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 never touched except for medicinal j purposes, and upon a physician’s pre scription. An enormous coffin, in which is a pa pier mache skeleton, end the worm eaten bier are the principal articles of furniture. The coffin is the sideboard of 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 celling to floor, upon which is a hideously drawn skeleton. Mo Danger of a War. A French governor of the south Pacific colony of New Caledonia, who was also an admiral of the navy, as sumed his authority while the natives were still cannibals. There had been rumors of an insurrection, and the ad miral' called before him a native chief who was faltiuul to the French cause and questioned him as to their truth. “You may be sure,” said the native, "that there will be no war at present, because the yams are not yet ripe." “The yams, you say?” “Yes. Our peo ple never make war except when the yams are ripe.” “Why is that?" “Be cause baked yams go very well with the captives.” --— A Japanean Woman Politician. The most remarkable woman in poli tics in Japan is Mme. Hatoyanna. When her husband, a leader of the progres sionist party, ran for parliament, she took the stump and made speeches in hi3 interest—a very extraordinary 1 thing for a Japanese lady to do. She Is now a teacher in the academy of which her husband is principal. An Inducement to Fny Taxes.

Prom the Boston Herald: Very tew people outside certain circles of the Back Bay have any conception of the extent to which poker playing Is car ded In that section. The whole local ity Is divided Into “sets," and It Is cus tomary for each one to hold a session at his or her house nearly every night In the week. The usual hour for begin ning to play Is 8 o’clock, and it Is cus tomary for the ladles to dress for the occasion, while the gentlemen not In frequently array themselves In full evening costume. The standard limit Is 10 cents, one reason for making it so Small being that the conscientious shall not feel that they are gambling. Gen srally there are three hours of play, aft er which the hostess asks her guests to a light repast, consisting of sardines, trackers, cheese and sweet meats. Bot tled beer is the favorite beverage, but there are instances on record where something stronger has been Indulged In. A great many society people of both sexes drink rum punch, lemonade dashed with whisky and plain gin. The usual time devoted to refreshments Is fifteen minutes, as all are anxious to c$et at the cards again. . It frequently happens that seven ana eight players are present at a sitting, and when everybody “stays” the cards fall short, which necessitates gathering up the “dead wood” and filling out the hands from It. There is a well-ground ed superstition that these discards have been robbed of everything of val ue and that to draw from them is equi valent to throwing the chips into h red hot stove. To in a measure meet these exigencies eleven and twelve spot cards have been added, making the pack con sist of sixty cards instead of fifty-two. Another innovation is the "ringdoo dle.” A ringdoodle is declared when u hand has been called and fours are shown. Then follows a round of Jack pots, the holder of the winning hand starting them. Blue chips are put up to correspond with the number of play ers. Of course a round of jack pots would be equivalent to a ringdoodle, but it comes easier to some players to pay on the installment plan. Then a regular round of Jacks is declared when a full hand is shown. Two are never allowed to play in the modern game, no matter how good their hands may be. A jack pot always follows. There are also buck jacks and jacks on the slightest provocation. It has now become the custom to make a discount of one red chip for every jack pot. When the time has crept on toward midnight the keeper of the kitty an nounces that a round of consolation jacks will be played. The chips are divided into a number of piles corre sponding with the number of players, and the extras are placed in the center of the table with the individual contri butions. A DRINK FOR WOMAN. The Latest Acquisition to the Drug Store Fountain. The latest acquisition to the row of long-necked bottles at the drug store fountain Is marked "orange flower syrup.” Thl3 is pure extract of orange blossoms and is about the most etherl ally delicious beverage when taken with three inches of cream and well charged. .They call it “Hymen’s wassail,” the girls do, when the clerk of the fountain serves it with plenty of soda and ice shaved and piled light as snow. He rec ommended it as a good thing for nerves, and Is always sincerely grateful when any of his patrons will give him a new recipe for some dainty drink. One of the nicest and latest of his combina tions, and deservedly popular, too, is ordinary chocolate soda dashed with one teaspoonful of creme d’yvette. Everybody knows what this is, a cor dial colored and flavored as if with violets, and another fashionable apoth ecary is earning a good name among the women by serving them, since the cold weather began, with minute cups of clear, hot, sugarless coffee, flavored with a drop or two of violet cream. He )s the same man who is making himself famous by tutti-frutti ice cream soda. This is a glass of simple vanilla or Chocolate cream, with a handful of small,spicy crystallized frpits thrown in before the soda is turned on—cherries, currants, shredded ginger, and the like. It costs only 5 cents more than the or dinary soda and is a favorite after-the theater treat with the young man of modest means and simple tastes. The Mew Women a* She Should Be. Miss Richards, daughter of the gov ernor of Wyoming, is an example of the new woman as she should be, in a secular field. She is her father's most efficient private secretary, and whan he is called away from Cheyenne the entire affairs of the executive are left in her hands. Such is the confidence of the governor in his 19-year-old daughter. She was educated at an east ern college, understands all about housekeeping, and is equally well ac quainted with the affairs of the office of the executive. Her father trusts her to prepare tho most important state papers. Dona Through Money. The Venetians absorbed all commerce for five or six centuries, from the year 1000 until 1000; they had the Hanescatlc league as rivals. The Dutch republic, with its civil liberty, for two centuries transferred the trade of the world to Holland, but about the middle of the eighteenth century the energy and per severance of the English supplanted the Dutch.
