8 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1895 CoL. R, D. Srrona. TELLS OF THE GRAND OLD Praza oF SAN FRANCISCO. BY ERNEST C. STOCK. “Looking over some old booksa few days | since,” said Colonel Reuben D. Strong, as | he handed me a folded paper, “I came across this reminder of early San Fran- cisco.” What he handed me was a lithographic print representing the Grand Plaza. “That,” continued the colonel,” is what you now know as Portsmouth Square. By looking at the imprint at the foot of the | picture, you will "see that it was entered ; according to an act of Congress, in the | clerk’s office for the District of California, | TUnited States District Court, in 1850, by Joseph F. Atwill. It represents three | sides of the plaza after the admission | of the State of California into the Union, and before the great fire of| May 3, 1851, It presents the buildings | on the e ide of Kearny street, those on the north side of Washington and those on the west side of the plaza, which is now called Brenham place, and there is a di tant view of Telegraph Hill, with the sig- station on the top. That picture crowds into my mind a | thousand recollections. There, at the cor- | L | | | | weighed, and was told that it would go for one rate. He then asked the clerk for an envelope, the largest he had. given one of those Government envelopes, ten inches long, and after he had addressed it handed it to the clerk again, with the re- quest to place 10-cent stamps side by side upon the face of the envelope, top, bottom and sides. diture, but he wanted to have his wish car- ried out, and he was accommodated by having thirty stamps_affixed to the letter. ‘When he looked at it and paid his $3, he remarked, ‘']l let that chap in the States | see that we can be as liberal with stamps as he can be.’ " The colonel then turned his attention to the picture once more and said: ‘‘Here on the Washington-street side part of a sign—'kson Hou was the Jackson House which stood very near to what you now call Washington alley, but which was known in early times as Murderers alley, because of the many crimes committed there. A little above that house was The Excellent, a famed restaurant of the times. which was the office of the Alta Califor- nia and its book and job concern. Below He was He was remonstrated with, and told that was a useless expen- Almost in the center of the block stood a brick house. in | you can see | ¢’; well, that the days of '56, the El Dorado went the way of the Bella Union, the Polka, the Varsoviennt, the Mazourka, the Tontine and other public gambling-houses. Pub- lic, open gambling ceased, and those who wanted to indulge in a game of faro, rouge et noir or lansquenette had to do so behind closed doors. ~ The main hall of the El Dorado was converted into a cafe, and it was there that women first appeared as waitresses, they being attired in short clothes. 1t was an attraction at first. but coming so soon after the great reform it was frowned down by public opinion, and did not have a very long run. ‘‘Next to this corner building was the Parker House, the second one, and which was not roofed in when the big fire broke out, then the site of the Jenny Lind theater, and adjoining that and forming the corner of Merchant street, the Union Hotel. On the opposite corner was the Empire and next to that the large building which ex- tended to the corner and was called the California Exchange, in which was the oftice of Hall & Crandall, who ran a line of stages that bore on its sides the legend, ‘S8an Francisco, San Jose, Santa Cruz and Monterey.’ This California Exchange be- came the fourth postoffice of San Fran- cisco, and in 1856 the upper floor was the meeting place of the ‘Law and Order Party,” of which I have already spoken. Shortly after Cora and Casey had been re- moved from the County Jail to the com- mittee-rooms, the committee made a de- scent on the ‘Law and Order Party’ rooms and captured some sixty or seveniy sworn enemies of the Vigilantees. The building was surrounded by armed men, the roof was _covered with them, and the streets in the immediate vicinity were patrolled by men in black suits, wearing uniform blac! glazed caps and carrying guns, part of the armed force of the committee. After a time there came out of the building the THE GRAND PLAZA, SAN FRANCISCO. [From a lithograph published by Joseph F. Atwill in 1850.] ner of Clay street and Brenham place was | the old zinc-covered building erected after | the May fire of '50 and known as the | Portsmouth House at the time I left here. | I noticed that that old landmark has dis- appeared, that a brick structure has taken its place, and that it is occupied exclu-| sively by Chinese; in fact, so is the entire length of Brenham place except the hall ! of the Exempts, which L knew as the hall | of the Monumentals. There were no Chi- nese in that section of the City at the time that picture was drawn, but you have them now. In that buildingJoe Atwill, the pio- neer dealer in music and musical instru- ments, had his place of business. He after- ward went on Stockton street, between Washington and Jackson, and opened a store next to that of Kohler & Chase, when that firm dealt principally in toys and their store was known as ‘Santa Claus’ Headquarters.’ He afterward moved down on Washington street, next to the Wash- ington baths, and was there up to the time | I went from here. By the way, Iread an | account of the old gentleman’s death not long ago. So they go, the foundersof a great city, and the truth of the expression strikes me forcibly when 1 hear ‘There are onlv a few of us left.” *On the upper floor of that building was the plant of Butler, the engraver and litho- grapher, the one who made the picture you are looking at. In days that followed he had a farge business and did all the en- graving in wood for the theatrical and other three-sheet posters that adorned the deadwalls of the City. In the same build. ing was the Postoffice. which previously | was in an adobe building near the same site, and before that was at the corner of Clay and Pike streets, afterward called Waverly place. That is also now given over to Chinese, but at the time I speak of it was a lively thoroughfare, and I suppose there are but a few left who can recall the time that they took their meals in Rapheel’s, which then was to the new City what the Msison_Riche is to the present San Francisco. Jacob Moore was the Post- master when the Postoffice was in the zinc house, and Captain John Short, the hale, hearty man of 80 who was recently retired by your Police Commissioners on a pension. was a clerk under him. Cap- tain Short was one of the brave men who _filled the ranks of the Volun- teer Fire Department in those days and he was a member of Vigilant No.2. Before he came here he was a member of the volun- teer department of New York City, so in the days of the great fires here his knowl- edge of fire extinguishment was of service. But there were times, as results proved, that the knowledge and science was of no avail against the element that swept over the face of the City. While Moore was in this building handling Uncle Sam’s mails he conceived a plan iy which he would increase the Moore revenue. He, at great cost, had a brick building erected on the south side of Clay street, opposite and below the center of the plaza, and when it was finished induced the Government to rent it for the purposes of a Postoffice at a monthly rental of The house, which soon paid for itself, is still standing, but occupied by Chinese. At one time it was occupied by Prosper May, a prominent French dealer in liquors. “In those postoffice daf;u the facilities for transmission were not what they are now, but the people did not do as much growl- ing as they do now. The mail for Santa Cruz and Monterey left but once a week, ‘Wednesdays at 7 in the morning, by stage,| which carried passengers and charged $25 for each passenger. There were tri-weekly mails for Santa Clara, San Jose and the Mission San Jose; also tri-weekly mails for Benicia, Sonoma, Napa and Stockton. Posuse on a letter to any part of the United States or Uregon was 40 cents,while to any part of California it was 12}¢ cents, and 3 cents was the postage on a news- paper. That was the rate up to the latter part of ’52, when the rate on letters was reduced to 3 cents on prepaid and 5 cents on unpaid letters to any part of California, 6 cents on prepaid and 10 cents on unpaid letters sent east of the Rockies, while it was optional with the sender if he put 29 cents in stamps on a letter sent to either England, Ireland or Scotland, or not, if not the fellow at the other end had to vay it, but that was not the rule with the old-timers. Why, recall an instance where a miner who had ‘just come down’ received a letter from home, and as it was a bulky one it had required triple postage. The stamps made a formidable display on the envelope. Aiter the miner had read his correspond- ence, he stepped up to the window and asked how much it cost to send a letter ‘to New York in the States,’ and when he was told 40 cents, he went away, but in an hour or so returned with a letter which he had that was the Louisiana, the Rendezvous and the Bella Union, all places where | cards and music attracted crowds. On the corner there was a banking-house and, if I am not mistaken, it was that of Palmer, Cook & Co., but whether the firm was there immediately before the big fire of ’51 or after 1 cannot recollect, “That building on the northeast corner | of Washington and Kearny streets was a brick structure that was known as the Verandah, a hotel kept by Willis Johnson. During the Vigilance Committee days of 1856 it was in that building that Dave Terry stabbed Stirling A. Hopkins, a mem- ber of the committee, who had been sent to arrest him and take him to the rooms of the committeein ‘Fort Gunny Bags,’ on Sacramento street, below Front. “You aek how the place came to be | | called ‘Fort Gunny Bags’? When the committee took up its quarters in that building, a brick structure two stories in height, which 1 noticed is still | standing, with the stairs on the western end. up which so many of the Vigilantes tramped to reach the second story, and up which those who were expatriated and those who were launched into eternity ascended, there was a fear that the build- ing might be attacked by what was called T'll tell you. | i | the 3d of May. 1851. prisoners handcuffed to a long chain and surrounded by the Vigilance militia. They | were marched to the committee-rooms, where in due time they were all subjected to examination and the majority of them paroled. Before that day they were loud in their threats as to what they would do when they came face to face with the Vigi lantes. They were like Bombastes Fu- rioso, but =n they did meet the Vigi- lantes face to face their courage failed them. “1 have told you about all that the pic- ture portrays except that the flag that you see from the tall pole at the head of the | plaza was the one that was recognized as the California flag before the State was admitted into the Union. “Almost every house that you see on that print with the exception of the Ports- mouth, the El Dorado, the Parker, the California Exchange and the Alta Califor- nia building was swept away by the great fire that broke out at 11 o’clock at night on The Verandah was also saved. That May fire I remember very well. During the afternoon of that day one of my relatives had been looking at a barn-like structure on the south side of California street, west of Kearny, for which $400 monthly rent was asked. He THE PLAZA IN THE YEAR 1860. [From a photograph by Houseworth.] the ‘Law and Order Party’ in an attempt to capture and set at liberty some, if not all, the dangerous characters the commit- tee had under investigation, so the com- mitteemen piled up sack after sack of sand until it formed a wall ten feet high, extending half way across Sacramento street and along the entire length of the building. In these walls of sand there were a number of portholes, out of which projected the muzzles of always-loaded ten-pounders. The wall was really a barri- cade, but it was called ‘Fort Gunny Bags’ in one of the papers and the name stuck to it. DIl say that the Law and Order Party did not have the nerve to attack the fort. **On the opposite corner of the Verandah, which I note has gone the way of all early structures, stood the Kl Dorado, which is now being leveled. The building was put up by Thomas J. A. Chambers, a gambler from the South, who carried on a gambling saloon, as it was called, on the ground floor and rented the up]i:er part for hotel qupolee. He was also the builder of the lipper warehouse on Washington street, above SBansome, extending from ‘Washing- ton street to Jackson, and of the ‘Govern- ment House,’ on the northwest corner of Sansome and Washington streets. When the wave of reform swept over the City in decided to take it and in the afternoon called on the landlord with a tender of $100 to hold the place until he should call the next day to pay the balance. The owner, who, like the rest of the people was very busy, said rather brusquely, ‘Don’t bother me now, this is steamer day; move in if you want to and pay me the rent in the morning.” Two hours after the alarm had been given that night I saw the house my relative Lad selected go up in flames and smoke, but he was none the loser for he had not moved in. The fire wiped out the greater part of the City; the Alta Cali- fornia building being of brick was saved, as wasalso the building in which was the Excellent. All the windows of the Ver- andah caught fire, but the wall and par- tition stood; the El Dorado and the Parker House and the California Exchange stood ig well, but the rest of the houses went like flashing guncotton. “The fire did not dismay the ple, for they, before the ashes were cold, were at work rebuilding, and within a month there was but little trace of the fire left; but the fire of the 14th of June following swept away a great deal that had been rebuilt., The undaunted spirit that marked the early San Franciscans made itself manifest once more, and again the City sprang up, as if by magic. The Parker House was finished, and on tbe night of the 6th of November; MonumentaFEngine Company gave a grand ball there. It was an extraor- dinary event for the time, was well at- tended, and it was the occasion for one of the daily papers to declare that such dis- plays gave the gratifying indulgence in the hope that the elements of society in San Francisco were rapidly resolving themselves into order. \“About a month before that, on the night of the 4th of October, the Jenny Lind Theater, the building which after- ward became the City Hall and which is now being torn down, was opened. You may find this interesting,” and with that the colonel took from his pocketbook a newspaper clipping of the account of the opening and also the programme of the first night. “The theater was opened by Tom Ma- guire, who in after years was known as ‘the Navoleon Jof Managers.” The open- ing address was delivered by Mrs. E. Woodward, a member of the company that appeared that night. The bill em- braced two plays, ‘Faint Heart Never Won Fair Lady’ and ‘All Is Not Gold That Glitters,”” The members of the com- any were: Mrs, E. Woodward, Mrs. J. B. ooth (wife of Junius Brutus Booth Jr.), Miss S. Montague, Miss H. Carpenter, Miss Kate Grey, Mrs. C. T. Bingham, Junius Brutus Booth Jr., H. F. Daly, N. Vena, J. L. Beyers, A. Wright, J. M. Kent, George Mitchell, J. McCloskey, J. Everard and T. Lubby. F.M. Kent was the stage man- ager, . “You will notice,” said the colonel,draw- ing my attention to the foot of the pro- gramme, ‘‘that the dress circle seats and those n the parquet were $3, in the sec- ond and third tiers $2 and in the gallery $1, and that thereis an announcement that a portion of the gallery has been fitted up in excellent style for respectable colored eople. Now let me ask you something. earny street was not as wide as it is now when I left. When was it widened ?"’ informed him that the preliminary steps to widen eleven blocks of the street from Market north from 45 5-12 to 75 feet, were taken in July, ’64, and that E. N. Torrey, C. C. Webb and A. B. Forbes were the commissioners appointed to attend to the widening, and that in April, '66, the work of demolition was commenced. Erxest C. STock. LIGIOUS PROGRESS, An Epitome of the Ser- mons of the Week. Following is a summary of the principal sermons recently delivered in the United States and Canada by the leading clergy- men, priests, prelates, religious teachers and professors of the Christian faith. In every instance the full Text bas been care- fully read and abbreviated. S e MISSIONARY W ORK. Shiploads of Bibles sent to Africa will not enlighten the darkest continent, but one Andrew Murray with the word of God in his heart can kindle a light that shines back again across the sea.—Rev, A. A. Cameror, Baptist, Brooklyn, N el v wisuom God’s wisdom must be above human wisdom, but it must embrace all there is in human wisdom. That which is truly wise before men must be truly wise in God’s sight; that which is true for men cannot bealie before God.—Rev. Father O’Callaghan, Paulist, Scranton, Pa. — — THE NEW WOMAN. This idea of the ‘‘new woman” is buta fad. Thank God it will die a natural death. 1t ought to die a borrible death. 1t is contrary to the laws of nature and womanhocod. The proper sphere will again come to woman.—Rev. A, W. older, Baptist, New York City. s BOOKS. In the selection of books for the children both the reading matter and the pictures should receive careful attention. Exercise care in the choice of books which you bring into the home. Books are compan- jons. They sit by your fireside. They eat with you. They commune with vou.—Rev. J. W. Bailey, Congregationalist, Lock- port, N. Y. e MISSION OF THE CHURCH. The mission of the church is, in the first place, to save men. Christ taught man the perfect way of life. It would be diffi- cult to prevent a man who is saved him- self from saving others. A man must show in his own person the power of God to save.—Rev. J. W. Lee, Baptist, Phila- delphia, Pa. SR DOGMA. The real meaning of dogma is little un- derstood nowadays. What Christ himself says through inspired writers is not dog- ma. What man says only can be faiily re- garded as such. “Every person should know exactly what he believes in religions matters, and then, if sure he is nght, stick to it.—Rev. Dr. Hopkins, Presbyterian, Lockport, N. Y. st N il DEATH. The man of millions suffers pain, sick- ness, death, as surely as the poorest, and there is no satisfaction in a rich man’s dying. The saddest death I ever saw was of a wealthy man. What an expression of sorrow he gave at leaving this earth. In sickness and probable death vanish all the material and visionary joys.—Rev. T. H. Hogerty, Methodist, at’ Louisville, Ky. e i m THE IDEAL MAN. Christ is the example for humanity—the one and only perfect man. He is the per- fect ideal of every pure soul. Every human }»em{; has some ideal, and the nature of the ideal wiil determine the character. The tendency of human nature is constantly downward, and the only hope for a lost world is a perfect moral ideal.—Rev. W. G. Partridge, Baptist, Scranton, Pa, — MONEY-MAKING. Financial success is often a slippery place. How many a man grows poorer in heart while he grows richer in gold. There are many whose wealth stands for integ- rity, moral excellence, social excellence. But the fever of money-making is danger- ous—the conflict between money-making and morality. Anything is right that suc- ceeds. What follows is known too well— has been seen too frequently.—Rev. George Cooper, Baptist, Richmond, Va. —— CONFESSION. Confession has been and is a great bless- ing. Itis the only means by which certain crimes can be stopped. Many a maiden and young man, already dangerously near the precipice, have been saved from a de- lorable fall by the timely use of con- ession, and many who had "unfortunatel fallen were held up on their slippery patl by this same remedy.—Rev. Father Wel- bers, Catholic, Richmond, Va. Sevgreatey SIN IS SUICIDAL. The mission of religion is not to save people from hell, but to save them from their sins. Al gnilt is suicidal. Sin is its own worst Funiahmcnt. for it involves the death of all that is noblest and of greatest worth in life, The choice of sin is the soul's judgment against itself—the delib- erate choosing of the darkness rather than X the light.—Rev Dr. Hudson, Unitarian, Salt Lake City, Utah. AR GOOD BOOKS. Let us have good books in the home. Let us read and discuss them there. Buy good books at the cost of something else. Read them as Coleridge directs, forcing yourself to retlect on what youread. Read with a definite end in View. Let us have our reading make us acquained with a wide range of subjects to profit by the conversation of inteligent persons of different callings and various intellectual gifts and acquisitions.—Rev. J. B. Clark, Congregationalist, Brooklyn, LABOR AND THE CHURCH. Christ healed the sick of the laboring classes, cast out their devils, cured_their {fevers, bade away their leprosies and pal- sies, restored their lost and raised their dead. Since the time of Christ every kind of favorable manifestation of his gospel to the laboring classes has been on the in- crease. That gospel would by now have filled the whole earth with its manifesta- tions in the laborer’s behalf but for tue obstructions that have been cast in its way. These hindrances are the reason these classes have not long since reached their enfranchisement. Peter surmounted such obstacles; so did Luther and Wesley; so must we.—Rev. Charles Conkling, Cleve- land, Ohio. WEATHER BUREAU REPORT. UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICUI- TURE, WEATHER BUREAU, SAN FRANCISCO, Oc- tober 6, 1895, b p.
