TUB NE YORK BOWERY.

LIGHTS AND SCENES IN TJUT HE NQ'IFNED THOROUGHFARE —CONCERT SALOON LIFE rOitTRAYED-A GLIMPSE

OFTUE POPULAR BEER GARnENS

Where the Stars of the Yariaty Bnsinvss Spring From—Incidents In Point.

The stranger in New York who is gifted with a capacity for absorbing fire-water need never be at a loas for amusement. Aside from the ordinary saloons to be found in every block, there exists in the Bowery— the great promenade of the lower order of the. populace—a class of resorts known as concert saloons, that are well worthy a description.

The concert saloon is usually an apartment on the ground floor, in length from fifty to one hundred feet in width about thirty feet. Entering from the street, the visitor first encounters the. bar, which is a. very commohpiace-looking institution, presided over by a young gentleman of rakish'aspect, who is a "masher", among the girls and a masher in a different.sense aqaong the men if new cessity requires the eXcercUe pf that talent. Facing jne bar is the music ciahs' departmentj .the instruments usually consisting of a rackety piano a broken-stringed Violih and an .®afpiercing cornet.- Tbe rest of tli© saloon ia allotted to the use of a' bowls ing-alley, whilQ the remaining space contains ,from one to two dozeii -varnished wooden tables. The Walls of the apartment are-usually bedaubed with paintings..of scenes on the "Beautiful Rtiine':' and re presentations of half-nude female figures, while the ceilings are in some instan ces frescoed, bnt as a general thing simply whitewashed

Tnestaffofa concert-Saloon con sist in most cases of the proprietor! his "wife," two or three bar-keepers, three or four musicians^ pair of. boys to attend to the bowling-alley, and from six to twenty women. As a rule, the proprietor is simply money making German, and his wife" is nothing more than a favorite Wait ing-girl. In some instances,however, the proprietor and hi? partner are both steeped in every form of villainy and their saloohs are dens which it is positively unsafe for a stranger :to enter.

The waiter-girls aie, of coursie, the chief attraction in "concert halls. With rare exceptions they are Nothing but prostitutes of the most de bauched order. Very often it happens that a shop-girl, or.a newly arrived emigrant, or country girl. will be lured into these houses through the medinm of cunningly woirded newspaper advertisements, promising large pay and respectable and steady employment, but in Such cases the ruin of the girl is tbe work of a single night, and within a fort night she has her "friend," and is. a little less vile in manner and conver-, sation than her associates. The pay: of these women ranues from five to: fifteen dollars a week. The night force, Which is much the largest, begins work shortly after six o|cloek,in order to be prepared, for isuch stray mechanics returning from their daily labor as may choose to favor' them with a call. Up to ten o'clock the work of

THE WAITER-AIBLTQ^FEK?

Is very light,. After that hour the saloon fills up with hilarious Tioters fresh from the theaters and beer-gar-dens, and she has little time to^herw self from that time until five' in the morning. Shortly aftot' the break of day, she leaves for herhome (which generally consists of a room or tW6 in a crowded tenement house, atid sleep and her household duties occupy her time until '"eteiiihg comes, again.

It is the girl's business lo waitupon the first visitor to the.saloon that she can approach. Sometinvesit is '-.'a young'man about towni fiush of .money and tHuiktfipt in brains whom sheis called upoh fo bleed. Venr often it is a sailor and occasionally it is a thief- Theee aw the three charac^ tecs pecUliar^tothe Tisititrtclist of -'a. concertsalcbti. Ooce tb^jpVi secured' a word with ,.f eiUseTi one "of the two first mentioned^baractersj he beComes ^her' victim.... She smiles npbkTJbiin ih.ii maaOM' Uttft makes hlni beliisVe she recognise* ia-"dance, hint a lbhg46ot, but never forgotten louver. Then she escorts him toa

Where, if he is liberal in treat

ing, she follows up her first reception ofUmjwltb some of the tallest ^ve«-itu*kjng ihe ever witnessed. Beer, to t^ visitor, sells at five centt glass wbi^y, rum, gin, sherr^, c&tawijf^and claret winec'stdrlnks at

fifteen Cent8-, and mixed from twenty to forty cent* each.

f.he

girl drinks her beer, earsaparilla or seltzer,- it. costs her companion fifteen cents a glass, five cents of which she. keepsLas a percentage, return tug the remainder to the bar. On every other variety of drink she charges the* same for herself as her' retainer with the addition of five cents percentage.

After acouple have billed and cooed and.gbt .comfortably drunk while, doing It, the girl proposes a trip to the second story of the building where there is a private sitting room. Here under promise of further favors, she lures her victim into calling for wine: On every three dollar bottle that he purchases she receives a percentage' of seventy, five cents. On every, five dollar bottle l(?r share one dollar, and a quarter. The wine is the purest quality of Jersey cider, and by the time the young man of unsteady habits has drank a bottle or two of it he geets in condition to scalp his grandmother. Then he becomes noisy, perhaps violent. His charmer leaves him on .the pretense of having a moment's: business down stairs,. Ha awaits her return until hi* patience wears out, when he goes down stairs to hunt her i}p, and finds her seated at a table conversing energeticly with the latest arrival. In his drunken state the victim is then ready for any performance He reproach*, the girl for having deceived him, when the proprietor, his wife, the barkeepers, and the bowling-alley boys waltz into him in a style that unfits him for having his photograph taken in about ten minutes. Sometimes the musicians join in the festival to see that he does not want for anything, and the waiter-girls themselves are ready to bear a hand: with the delicate forefinger ornamented with a beer-glass, should he prove a rough customer. In every .case the victim gets roughly handled) and if he meets a.policeman on.the outside, and retails to him his woes, he is either told to move on.or locked up as a disorderly character. Salaries vary from five dollars to fifteen dollars, and with percentage on (drinks many of the girls clear from forty to fifty dollars a week wi hout being guilty of the sin of prostitution.

Nearly every girl, however, hasher "proteetor"' and, as usuai with women of their class wherever found he receives the benefit of nearly every cent of the money it has cost her so much trouble to obtain.

Another feature of the Bowery is THE BEER GARDEN, Of which, the Atlantic, Bowery, Pacific, Voiks' and National Gardens are the most prominent. The Atlantic, situated between Bayard and Canal streets^ adjoins the old Bowery Theater, and is the first: place of the kind: to be melt'with after leaving Broadway and following the line of Park Row, Chatham street.and Chatham Square to the great East Side thoroughfare. The Atlantic Garden is an institution of forty years' growth. Kramer, its/present proprietor, who also owns the Bowery Theater, came to America without a dollar. After about three years' ser vice as a bar-keeper he accumulated sufficient money to start, a saloon of his own. In. a few more years be purchased with his increased .:.weaUb a saloon on the site of. the -piresent Atlantic. To this saloon be. added a stnall garden' in the^ summer time, Snd: the enterprise met with such favor ais to lead to improyements from year to year, until the establish m^nt of the garden of to^day, which )s perhaps, the largest beer-hall in tbecountry. The building is a twostory brick, open to the roof, and extends back halt a block, to. Elizabeth street. Its width jn' Winter time about fifty feet. In'summer an open air extension.of half 'that width is

added.. .There-Is a :.balcony at the rear end of the hall, a gallery in fron t, and. a gallery on one ,of the sides, the latter of which faces the stage, which is^ raised about:six feet above the level of: the. grojindv floor. Within the past tw»yeai9Hhis,Stage has been occupied ,py Jher Vienna Lady Orchestra, of a»gut ^fourteen pieces by Farka'^ Hungarian Gypsy Orchestra of about.twenty pieces,and by Contcrnoys Twenty-third Regiment Band of'ftUojuL-Xhirty pieces.: Male and female alngers, several tf whom are now perfdrihing in a beer garden "oyer. tbe Rhtne," have also at times formed part pf the attractions of the Atlantic. In the day time agigantic musical instrument, containing pieces sufficient "to Ptof duce an.. operatic' 'medley, is kept playing for the1 amuseinent of visl» tors. The Atlantic ,the most pop^ ular place of resort for'"the common order of people in UJe^TCor^, and at night it is crowded On week eighty no admission is_charged.^ On Sun? day nights ten C0bta'i¥tlie tarifL

Emmet (Fritz) in the palmy days of the old Palace Varieties. The ex bootblack referred to, although he would most likely spell cat with two "tts," can be seen on broads ay, New York, about three months in the year, dressed, in the "loudest" style of the period, while in the diningroom of the hotel he can throw the French bill of fare at the waiter's head with an ease that only comes of ultimited "cheek" and famil iarity with first class hotel. m'

Relicof.aa Oio Family. A paper priiited in Newberryport. Mass., gives the following account of a person who:recently died there: ''Kate Coffin, who baa been a city pensioner, residing at the alms-bouse for thirty-seA'en years, is dead, at the age or eighty-three. Many will remember hor, for she was a noticable person to all callers at that institution. When young she was the belle of the North End, and when old even more than four score, she was remarkably good looking aud very polite. She was .there for JIO weakness of mind, no disease of bodyf iiolmmorality of life but when father and imother diad the town took her-up, simply because she determined that she would do nothing-forself-support. Labor, even of the lightest kind She was totally Unacquainted with it was repugnant to all her ideas of what belonged to a lady, and she never forgot that she was one of the first families of the town* and when young knew not what work was, nor, from necessity, waB required to •know. She was the daughter of Lemuel Coffin,whose residence was at the foot of Warren street, and bis shoe shop on Merrimac street, just above the bridge: He was one of the patriot soldiers of tbe Revolaton, and for four years, was in the body-guard of Gen. Washington. Faithfully and well he served bis country. He.accumulated some property, which was lost in his business .before his death, so that Kate from aMuence and ease was reduced to poverty. Other relatives she had who are: remje'mbered to this day. Her uiicle, Samuel Coffin, was one of our first, merchrnts, owned a wharf, secoud above/ the bridge/'w hence his vessels sailed to foreign -'countries. His son Capt. Abel Coffin,-brought the Sim?se twins lo this country. But few of Kate's relatives remain here."

Lnd bSlnirof, Vanishing disease 8^se kSow? i? .ySf Scrolulous disease, Known as Bait Rbeuni. and Weak nessol the^Lungs, una lindlDg no cure I commenced to experiment by compSanV: lug roots using the^iiediclne Thus obtoin

I fortunately discovered a mott won derlul Blood Searcher, or Bitters, Which, not only gave roe instantaneous relief, bu after few weeks' time, effected a perfeot cure, r.then.prepared a quantity of Ror^t llit'ers, and was in the habit of clviue them away to the sick. I found the meui cii.e possessed the most wonderful virtues rftVcung cures of all diseases, originatiinr roni bad blood or weakness of tbe system HS LI by magic. At lsst the demonct becsnie so eat that I loucd myself called upon to supply patients with medicin in all parts of ihe continent, and I was compelled to establish a Labratory for compounding and bottling the Root Bitters in large quantities 1 was at first backward In presenting either myeelf or remedy to the public, no being a patent medicine man, and witb limited capital, but 1 am getting bravely over that. Since 1 first advertised thu wonderful medicine 1 have been crowda with orders from drugists and counts dealers, and the (-cores or let'ers I recelv from, persons cured, prove tbe fact tbat remedy has ever' done so much Kood & bad such a success as the Boot Bitters.

Root Bitters are strictly a Medicinal Prep aratlon, su-rli as wns used lu tbe good ofd days or our forefathers, when people were CUK-'CI by some simpie root Qr plant, and when calomel and other poisons of the mineral kingdom were unknown. For consumption, asthma. Catarrh,

Scrofula, Scrof-

u'ous Eruptions, Rheumatism. Heart Disease. Ditziness, Livei ""omplaint. Kidney and Urinary Diseases,V. ?er and Ague.Dlspepsia, Lost Vitality, jd Broken Down Constitutions,these Root Bittera are UniverBHilyaamlttedto be the most wonderful discovery in the world. Their search-, lng, healing properties penetrate every portion of the human lrame, soothing the lULgs'ahd. strengthlng tne stomaeh, kidneys, and liver. For weakly, nervous young men suffering from loss ol'memory etc., caused from abuses in earl life, and to delicate females, these Root Sitters are especially recommended. No other medt cine will cure Scurvy, Salt Rheum, Boils, Tetter:Ringworm, whlta Swelling, Sore Eyes, Running of the Ears, Ulcers, Fever Sores,Cancerous Formations, Dropsy. Ereslpelous.pimples. Flesh WOERIS, Pustules, Blotches and all Sklu diseaaas, so quickly as the Root Bitters. Ail Root Bitters lay tha axeat Ihe Root of the tree of disease, by searching and purifying the blood whlcu will nourish and invigorate every cugau and part of the body and keep it in repai until' a ripe old age.

I warrantmyRoot Bitters a perfeot cure for the above and similar diseases, and In case of tailute. where the medicine has had afalrtriai, wllLthank-all to call or write and get back thelr-jnoney. Show this to iour druggist.- or storekeeper, if he tlont, have a stock orm'y Root Bitters on hand, ask him to order a supply or enclose mo the price by nfall ana you will receive the medicine by express.
