THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY. MARCH 26, 1888.. SOME SCENES IN LEADVILLE. Impressions of a New Yorker to Whom a Western Trip is New. A THRIFTY AND LIVELY CITY. Gambling Houses, Dance Houses and Variety Theaters in Leadville— The Bort of People Who Gamble — Morals. A correspondent of the New York Sun writing from Leadville says: The Leadville people say 18,000 is the popu- lation of their town; it looked to me about 15,000, but there are lots of folks around in the mountains and maybe 18,000 is all right. The place looks thrifty and enterprising and as if it had come to stay, though the great number of little one-story housesseemed to indi- cate—I may read this sign wrong—that many of the people had expended in houses just as little money as they could, #0 a8 to be able to get out with as small loss as possible if the thing should col- Japse, I don’t know anything about mining, but many of the mines around Leadville are well known and said to be profitable while it is equally true that some well- known mines have stopped producing because they are supposed to be played out or are in litigation, or from other causes. But they tell me that they haven’t begun to exhaust the mount- ains, and I am rather inclined to creait this statement, for the mountains are verylarge. Some of the newer dwell- ings are larger, two-story houses; some of the stores are big enough for any town and carry big stocks. Thenewer business buildings are built a story or two higher, as though the owners ex- pected that property would be worth something, and it is; There are plenty of schools and churches,and the mernl air of the town is dnvmg and healthy and permanent. The original main street of the city has been supplanted by another avenue running at right angle to the first main street. This was inevitable, for the new main street is seemingly just where it ought to be,according to the conform- ation of the ground on which the city gtands. In the old main street the stores, all wooden buildings and some of them lnrgfo are chiefly occupied for various ness purposes,but the new principal street is the unquestioned main street of the city. On it are the banks, the post office, the big stores and the prin- cipal gnmhlin{; houses. Itis the main street of the city, just as Broadway is the main street in New York. The smaller gambling houses, and the va- riety theatres, and the honses of the French women line more or less of a block or two of a cross street near one end of the business part of the main street. Down one street I saw a big square brick building, the sign of civilization, a school house. It was the recess hour, and the boys were sliding down hill, a jolly, henlthy wholesome lot, ]ustllke everybody’s boys. There must be homes where these boys live. More log houses than you have seen before; most of them the houses of original proprietors or dwellers, and now placed on the street lines. There are in the city two pretty little houses, slabbed upon the side in patterns as pretty as slabs can be made to take, successively occupied by a prosperous miner, who now lives in a larger framed house. Horses are plenty in the streets, more blankets strapped to saddles, more sadales with double clinches. The men who ride the horses, and everybody else in the town, including the children, civil and polite. Not 8o many broad-! brimmed hats, for here more of the men work under- round, where it is not necessary to be sheltercd from the sun and wind. ~ All woodon sidewalks, with steps at the grades and, when necessary, at the crossings. Some of the plank i 'walkson the main street are two feet or moro . above the Futwr; made to accommodate the siore lines rather than the street rade. Ladies in the streets shopping ook just as they do everywhere. The business men looking just like other men, but more men wearing caps, and more miners. To the north on the hills, the shaft houses and buildings and smokestacks of the mines. I had a letter to A MINING SUPERINTENDENT and 1 went to his house. Not a big house, but the instant you passed the threshold you were In the air of a home. Daintiness, refinement, and comfort everywhere. The superintend- ent isa young man, tall, broad-shoul- dered, deep-chested, sturdy legged, erect, graceful, self-reliant, cultivated, and polite. His trousers were tucked in his boots, for he goes back and forth between two mines on horseback. He would be quite equally at home in eve ing dress or in corduroy, and the {u'oplu he might meet in either garb would like him equally well, He said he would be at the mine I wanted to seeat such a time, and at exactly that minute by the engine room clock he walked in. We put on miners’ clothing and went down the shaft and through the mines. Iwas never in a mine before, but there seem- ed to be here plenty of' room, plenty of air, too much air, perhaps, and the ore seemed satisfactory to the superintend- ent, some of it very much so. Every man whom he had occasion to address he addressed civilly and gently; and every man that spoke to the superin- tendent addressed him politely, and ev- idently toek pleasure in doing so. The miners were notably intelligent, good- looking men, and evidently everybody dld a uare dny s work. e evening at the hotel T met a om.lemun who mistook me for a man e knew. This was a calm, even-voiced, lite ' gentlem, who, in the course of urther conversation, said solely as a matter of courteous information for me and without a shadow of ulterior pur- pose, that he was in the gambling busi- ness. He had lived in cities from Bos- ton to San Fraucisco, and he was posted on the townsand the newspapers and their editors, and he knew some news- puger ‘men that I knew. ambling is carried on here just as openly as the sale of dry goods or gro- ceries isin New York. It is easier to getintoa smnhhng house in Leadville than it is intoa grocery story in New York in winter, for there is no latch on the gambling house door. Neither is their any lock on the doors of the prin- cipal houses, There is no hardware on the doors except the hinges, and these swing both ways. The outer doors are all double, usually on a level with the sidewalk, and none of them more than one step up. You just push the door open and go in, and on some of the doors hand high, the paint is worn off and the wood worn smooth, s0 many hands have touched them. The principal houses never close. Sundays and holi- days, dxx} and night, they are always open The lunhnf gambling house in the city has hll\[J)c business only once in six years,and then for two hours they ceased pulling the cards out of the dealing boxes and stopped the roulette wheels while the town buried the wmen who lost their lives in the Homestake mine. But that was an event that en- grossed the whole town. The mest ex- traordinary efforts had been made to save the miners. The mayor of the city had been conspicuous at the head of the most gallant workers, and _grate- ful citizens gave him a great gold findgo bearing upon it an emblematic story of the efforts made to save the men. The whole city sorrowed for the dead and at- tended the funeral. Then the dealing boxes wero turned face up again. All of the principal gambling houses run three shifts of men for each game. The after midnight early morning run is called the grave yard ghift, but why that name should be applied to those nours more than to any other group of hours, is not quite clear. You push open the door from the street and enter a big barroom. Nearly all of these barrooms have a row of chairs along the wall opposite the bar, and these are generally occupied. The gambling room is usually directly back of the barroom, and reached through a broad opening without any door or cur- tain or any impediment whatever, though in one large place you find a cut partition, with the cut.out piece set back a hittle, like the approach to the barrom from some fruit or cigar stores in New York. There are still different arrangements in some places,but usually you walk right strnlg‘nh\w THE GAMBLING ROOM, whatever the arrangement, they are all equally open and public. The big houses run three faro tables each, one roulette table,and some of them two or three poker tables,where the bank sells and redeems chips for a percentage, and deals the cards to the players. Faro is the favorite game, though in some places keno hasa pretty strong grip. It happened that when [ was in Leadville business was a little slack. The pay days of the miners and railroad men and freighters were earlier in the month, and most of the money that was to be played had already been banked. But in some of the rooms there were men cnou;:h to make you look for the opening among them before passing through. The, were mostly miners with some railroad men, and freighters and others. Scarcely any clerks or men in like oc- cupations at the times when the rooms were visited by me, and business men who play, playin the upstairs rooms. In the big public rooms the white check is ten cents each, so that men of limited means can play. The miners earn not less than 33 a day, for all kinds of labor brings good wages here. I asked a gambler if the kind of men I saw in the mine I visited gambled, and he was in- clined to the belief that they did. The stranger rangesabout, exciting no sort of attention from the miners or the other men there, for the most of them deal every day with nature and a big force that give to nearly all of them a sort of broad guage sense, and to some of them a touch of maybe half unknown to themselves supeviority that makes them not, perhaps superior to but_very civily indifferent to the ordinary stranger. The dealer or the lookerout may glance up for an instant, but that is allj the stranger at once feels that he is but an atom in the sea, and moreover of all vices gambling is the most en- grossing. Drinks are free to the players, but they don’t drink over much. In all the gambling places I heard only one voice that sounded like that of a drunken man, and he was in the barroom. The cases are kept by a miner, maybe, who keeps track of the cards and plays at the same time, with ostentation. The men who gamble are big and little, but mostly good-sized men, old and young, not boisterous, all intent on the game. In some of the houses not all of the games are owned by one man or con- cern, but table privileges are rented. Gamblers are paid for_each shift from 86.40 to 810 per day,and each game pays the city $25 a month. This is nominul- Iv calléd a fine, but it is not. Gumbling is against the laws of the state of Col- orado, and there is no Leadville ordi- nance which permits it, and this fine or tribute, or whatever you may call it, could not be collected of any gambler who should resist, but they are very willing to pay the money to the city offi- cial who collects it, and are not molest- ed. Announcement of the lottery is posted on the sidewalk, and probably more than half the population of Lead- ville gamble. Idon’t su&wpnsc that the civil authorities of Leadville desire to have gambling carried on in the city; probably if the money now spent in gambling could be kept in the city and diverted to other channels they would prefer to have the gambling stopped; put where s0 many gamble it becomes a somewhat difficult problem to handle, and they generally end by letting them amble and looking to the future for re- huf and occasionally setting the date back a little further. I dropped in to see my friend the gambler, whom 1 had met at the hotel, pull a few caras. In an interval in the playing he introduced me to thelooker- out, a genial gentleman from Chicago, who, some twenty or thirty years ago, at the time of the excitement in the south, served a few years in one of the famous light batteries that went out from Chicago. He was a man of cheer- ful temperament, perhaps more buoyant in manner than his confrere the dealer, who inclined rather to sedateness; but both were disposed to regard life, per- haps, not as a continuous picnic, but yet as a period with more fun than funeral. At night I went tothe up-stair rooms of what is generally recognized as the principal gambling establishment of the city. These rooms are up one flight of stairs which may be reached through a door from a saloon below or by an- other door from the street, both equally easy to open. There are four or five rooms reaching from the front of the building to the rear, the floors all covered with velvet carpets, The faro table and the roulette table are in the front room, and the tables and all their appurtenances are of the best materials and workmanship, Then there are two or three rooms w! \ere & man may lounge or smoke or drink or read or play cards, and in the rear room is an upright piano. All the walls and ceilings are tastefully decorated and the hangings are pretty and graceful. The table coverings are of brocade stuffs with gold threads running through them. The chairs and lounges are com- fortable. On the walls there are few paintings, but they are very good, 'l‘hu'u are more engravings and e tch ings. All good, and some of them ex- cellent, The outfit of these rooms was very costly. The proprietor of the es- tablishment is an alderman of the city: & calm, genial, hospitable gentleman who wears a fine gold badge which was presented to him by his constituents, which was appropriately inscribed and which carries on its front a large and very beautiful and perfect blue-white dia.nond, The checks up stairs ave of higher ,nlw than these below,and are intended lor men of large means. There was no game on the night of my visit, but when went back there at 8 o’clock the next morning there were in the rear parlor eight or ten men, some of them visitors from out of town and some residents of Leadville, all grouped around the piano. Two of the men were good players, and all hands could sing, and they did. fcre is a variety theatre, drinking bar at the entrance, and theatre beyond. Between the bar and the theatre are scats and tables, The theatrs is long and and not very wide. The one gallery 18 lined all aronnd,. from one side of the stage to the other, with what are called private boxes, maybe thirty or forty of them.. These boxes all front flueh with the face of the gallery, and the effect is at first a little curious. On the stage they give the general run of variety performances, and engage people who make circuits. The seats on the floor of the house were all full of men, drink- ing, emoking and listening to the per- formance. Some of the jokes were very broad, but it diln’t seem to me that they were liked any better on that ac- count. The propriefor of another large variety theatre told me that he had never permitted an improper word to be spoken on his etage, and he had _just as many people in_his place as there were in the other. Women move about and take orders for drinks, and pernaps chat with the drinker and drink with The new ((‘d-‘rl‘l‘)| hmmmg to be erected in Wilming will oc- cupy the lot on which nw p(\uph‘ of the town held a grand barbecue, followed by a great torchlight parade in 1815, in celebration of the ratification of the treaty of Ghent and General Jackson’s victory at New Orleans. It was the greatest event in ‘the history of the town, and the oldest inhabitants tell the story of it with a glow of pride. ca.ta,rrha.l Da.nger-. To be freed from the dangers of suffocation while lying down; to breathe freely, sleep sound- ly and undisturbed; fo rise refreshed, head clear, brain active and free from pain or ache; t0 Know that no pofsonous, putrid matter defiles the breath and rots away the delicate machin- ery of smell, taste and hearing; to feel that the system does not, through its veins and arteries, suck up the poison that is sure to un- him. Some of the girls are prety and some are not, just like the waiter girls we have seen in auy similar place. I should say that the run of the women enjoy their work just about as the ordi- nary run of men and women enjoy whatever they may respectively have to do, but their lives must be shorter. You may sit in a private box, if you wish, and be waited on there, and pay three or four times the vegular e, and think that you are see.ng life. In the theatre that is run on the great North American plan of propriety in the spoken word the proprietor is a tall, eagle-faced, courteous man, who looks abundantly’ able to enforce any rule he might see fit to make. The same long horseshoe line of private boxes, the same crowd in the seats on the floor, waitresses, with now and then one in the costume of a courtier or some- thing like, but nowhere anything to beat the waiter girl business as it was carried on in New Yonk some years ago. The stage company here was a small troupe of bur- lesquers, by no means phenomenal as actresses, but all pretty. After the part some of them trooped along the corridors back of the long rows of pri- vate boxes. We encountered at the head of the stairs leading from the up- stairs barroom to the one below a ver round and pretty woman, in full tropi- cal costume, chafling with an_old man of seventy, who was fanning his spark of life. The old man’s vitality was not overpowering, but his nerves were good. The young woman was blithe and merry, but seemingly born, and cer- tainly existing now, without the slight- est sense of moral responsibility—just hecking what she could, anywhere, rom the dust heap of life. And that is about the size of it with all those who come to the town to make money out of the weaknesses of human nature, except that of those who delve in the dust heap, some i at it deliberately ~ with pick and shovel, and don’t care whose arms or legs they cut off, The men in the dust heap knew that they must keep out of reach of the picks, or take the chances. It is much the same everywhere, I sup- Ppose, for business isbusiness the world over, but in a place like this business is more conspicuous by r n of its pub- But, with all this, life and prop- vare safo in Leadville. The more orderly people of the community will have it so,and among the others the transfer of money is speedy, certain, and continuous enough to suit every- body. Of course the drunken min would be expected to look out for him- self here as everywhere else,but I should infer. from & reading of three days’ is- sues of the Herald-Democrat, the enter- prising journal of the town, that crimes of great violence are not more numerous here than in other western cities of the same size. —_————— A Reprieve For the Condemned. Wretched men and women long con- demned to suffer the tortures of dyspep- sia, are filled with new hopes after a few doses of Hostetter’s Stomach Bit- ters. This budding hope blossoms into the fruition of certainty, if the Bitters is persisted in. Tt brings a reprieve to all ll_\ss](,ptu,s who seek its aid. Flatu- lence, heartburn, sinking at the pit ofs the stomach between meals, the mer- vous tremors and insomnia of which chronic indigestion is the parent, disap- ear with their hateful progenitor. Tost beneficent of stomachics! who can wonder that in so many instances it awakens grateful eloquence in those who, benetitted by it, speak voluntarily in its behalf. It requires a graphic pen to describe the torments of dyspepsia, but in many testimonial received by the proprietors of the Bitters, these are portrayed with vivid truthfulness. Con- stipation, biliousness, muscular debility, malarial fever, and rheumatism are re- lieved by it. — ANOTHER GEORGIA WONDER. A Woman Who Does More Astounding Tricks Than Did Lula Hurst. Very little idea of the mystery which surounds Mrs. Dixie Tarrett Haygood, who will start out on a tour over the world, can be obtained until she is seen in her marvelous performances, says the Savannah New: In electric tricks she does even more than Miss Hurst. For instance, n person is blindfolded, An article is hidden, and then she places her hand lightly on the shoulder of the blindfolded person, who goes without knowing why direetly to the hidden article. Very recently this feature of her performance was given a very se- vere test. A pin was driven into the wall as high as the hand could reach, A lady had been blindfolded, and was to find what was hidden and the locality, The instant Mrs. Haygood’s hand was placed upon the lady’s shoulder she walked direct to the wall and took the pin from the wall. The slate writing of Slade is feeble when compared with that of Mrs, Hay- good. A small pencil is laid upon a xlxm, and the slate is then placed where seemingly writing could not be done, under a wardrobe, for instance. An- swers to questions were made and every time the answer was satisfactory to the asker. She has received hundreds of dollars in money and valuables by being thus able to obtain from romewhere proper answers to questions. But she is adverse to this feature, and will not show it on every occasion., She does not know where the power comes from, and offers no explanation. In her early days, when but a child, and before she had learned to write, she could cause messages to be written on slates, Among the many instances is this: Whenever the slate would be written on she would be frightened and was of the opinion that it was done bly some other person. One day e decided to test it herself, She thought of a verse in the bible, *‘God is love,” and placed the slate where she knew it could not be touched. When a sufficient time had elapsed she examined the slate, and the words **'God is love,” were written there in large letters, An Episcopal minister doubted her ability to do such things, and resolved to put her to a test. He wrote a ques- tion on a piece of paper, tore off a piece, and, rolling up the fragn t upon which the question was written, placed and kept it in his mouth. The other portion of the paper was slaced upon Moy AN R L Y 200d was called upon to give a reply. ~This wi done. The answer was correct, the two picces of paper were compared; and the minister was so confounded with the fagt that he left her house at cuce, dermine and destroy, I8 indeed a blessing be- yond all other human enjoyments. To purchase immunity from such a fate should be the object of all afflicted.
