WINE SHOPS OLD FRISCO DAYS
NOT GREET INQUISITIVE EYES
OF VISITORS AT CONVENTION
SAN FRANCISCO, June 23 (by Ass
ociated Press).—Visitors to the Dem
ocratic national convention will see
but few reminders of the old, romantic
days of San Francisco, when the red
shirted miners swept down from the
gold-streake reaches of the Sierras'
and threw fantastic fistfuls of “‘pay
dirt” on the bars of the store counters
for whatever they wished to purchase.
They will never run across such
characters as the little old millionaire
who used to haunt the ‘“Barbary
Coast” resorts in the memory of some
of the old-time residents. This in
dividual, who had hit a “pay streak”
early in the “‘mother lode” of North
ern California, used to order one par
ticular brand of champagne, the price
of which he knew well. Although he
was a “good fellow” he never would
allow himself to be victimized by the
loose, vicious financeering of the dis
trict. He would keep the cork from
every bottle, no matter how convival
he might be and when the time came
to settle he would produce these corks
to check against his bill. If the dun
did not coincide with the evidence of
the corkage he would not pay it.
Gone is the roaring “coast” and its
less picturesque environs. “Bottle”
Koenig and “Bottle” Meyers’ who used
to run noisy cock fighting establish
ments in what is now the shadow of'
the hall of justice, having long since J
passed on and the “Montana Dance j
Hall,” most glaring and blatant of all
the coast resorts is hardly a memo
ry. Even the establishment of the
old German emperor’s personal physi
cian, is gone almost from the recol
lection of man. It is here that the
denizens of the “Coast” were bathed
and shorn and set right physically
after their jousts with John Barley
corn.
Chinatown guides still point out the
little restaurant hanging precariously
over the old Dupont street where
Frank Norris, the author, went occas
sionallv to get a bit of local color.
Directly ahead and facing the hall of
justice is' Portsmouth square, a cove
the Vigilantes staged many a stirring
scene and the “sand-lotters” under the
leadership of fiery Dennis Kearney,
discussed the town’s political issues.
Some of the old wine shops, rivals
in the new world of the coffee houses
of Addison and Steele as gathering
places of the artists and the literati
still cling to the Latin Quarter. But
most of the old cafes where much of
the city’s history was plotted, remain
in name only. Gone is Duncan Ni
chol’s, the “Band Exchange” of former
days where the famous Pisco Punch
was served over a mahogany bar that
was brought around the Horn. The
old Cliff House, where presidents of
the United States and other renowned
itinerants used to enjoy the sea food
breakfasts,^was burned years ago.
On Waverly Place still may be seen
the quarters of the old Siberia Club,
stronghold of Yee Mee, “King of China
town.’” Here, before the police “axe
parties” became a feature of China
town the chance games of “coon-can,”
“chuck-a-luck” and “fan-tan”’ were
played in the midst of a maze of cor
ridors, sliding panels worked by secret
springs and exotic alcoves where the
beaten and broken gamesters could
remain until they had recouped their
fortunes.
The black doors that lined the
“Front” from China Basin to the Pre
sidio are gone and stately berths for
ocean liners have risen in their place.
The dingy bars that stood back of
them, where adventurers of all degrees
were once dropped, drug-stupefied,
through trap-doors and into waiting
boats below as part of the great
“shangai” game, all have been swept
■—. ~i-inniMrawnnwrwinT»wiimMHWnTiirn»«inftiiii in inr—
ft.ft » •* • ft • • ft ft • ».« *.* ft • ft ft • • • •
away. The “shanghai” was the sys-|
tern for recruiting the crews of the;
“lime-juicers,” the great deep seai
barks’ that plied principally between;
San Francisco and South American}
ports. They got their name through j
the fact that for more than a decade j
those under English registry carried
a consignment of lime-juice on every
voyage to combat epidemics of scurvy
among the crews. With improved con
ditions the scurvy disappeared and the
lime juice went back into the water
front cocktails.
The ball cannon that made up the
defenses of the old Presidio may still
be seen in mock defense of Sutro
heights. Nob Hill, once the home of
the city’s elite, shows a collection of
jagged foundations much as the
fire left it. “South of the Slot” the
ancient tenements have given way to
smart apartments in their midst stand
ing the slowly disintegrating ruins of
the “Mission of Sorrows,” known in
the Spanish as the “Mission Dolores,”
built in 1776 by the Franciscans. It
is the best memento of the romantic
old San Francisco that endures.
