Lisbon's Charms Those of Diversity
Bather Than Magnificence.
THE SPIRITED HARBOR SCENES.
Streets, Parks and Architecture of the In
teresting Old City.
EDGAR L WAKEMAK'S SEW DEPARTURE
rCOREESrONDEXCE OF THE DISPATCn.l
Lisbon, Dec. 23. It requires nearly four
days of steamship travel from Southampton,
England, to reach Lisbon, the seven-hilled
city upon the broad Tagus. The first land
tou will see is the grand promontory of
Boca, the last upon which Columbus looked
when, nearly 400 years ago, he sailed away
from Lisbon with" his three miserable little
ships and his 120 men. Like a w hite dove's
wings spread upon an emerald scarf, fair
Cintra gleams against old Jloca's sides.
Shortly your steamer's course is changed to
the ealt." Cascade is pascd. You have
entered a noble bay which is alone rivaled
by that of Naples and the horn of whoe
southern crescent terminates in lofty and
somber Cape Ispichcll. Mountains rise
picturesquelv to the north and east behind
this crescent, purple and fair, and susestive
of illimitable lands beyond, where the great
river makes its way through the heights
from its sources round about the Spanish
capital; emerald or puce where the sun,
from its liquid bed in the west, lights the
far forests and flames the serried height1!.
Quaint old outlying forts appear;
fortresses of defense and salute. Then the
outer bay narrows to the Ria de Lisbon,
Lisbon's mouth, and a narrow mouth and
throat they arc;bristling with forts, capable
of perfect defense in these days without a
iortat all; and after a passage of perhaps
kK miles through this deep and narrow
channel you have entered an inner harbor,
20 miles "long, and from 3 to 7 in width,
where 20,000 ships could ride at anchor in
water scarcely stirred by wave or ripple the
whole year long.
A City Set tn the Hills.
Lisbon is set upon the hills along the
northern shore. The entire estuary is edged
with villages and villas. Here a church,
grav and old, half shows from ome verdure-clad
defile. There a fishing tone is
oheckcied with white cottages and splatches
of drving nets. Yonder a half-ruined mon
astery; with its little hamlet of houses
creeping up to its walls like patient beggars
for protection and alm, tells its story of
suppression and conversion to workaday
umi. Ucre and there are quaint and an
cient docks, reminders f where the olden
galleons were built which bore the most in
trepid of all men to conquest and discovery
of utmost lands. Who' wondrous change
upon the whole worlds surface, whit
mighty revolutions in civilization, what
volumes of history had their humble origin
here! Not to Kome, nor England, should
Americans come, reverentially and -nir.il
H:de books in hand, as to the cradle spot
of our race. We were born on the shores
of the lordly Tagus. "We are Portuguese
in inception and conception. Our b.-.bv-hood
was rocked in the three old tubs which
bore Columbus ironi Eia de Lisboa to far
San Salvador.
The harbor scenes of Lisbon are fiill of
color and charm. Towers and castles,
churches and monasteries, sho-v from all the
surrounding heights. The city itself, al
most as white and luminous as Algiers ris
ing (rom the sea, is fair to look upon. Craft
of all nations are here. Up through the Eia
de Lisboa the west wind is speeding a fleet
of fishing smacks and feluccas. The la
teen sails are of every color and tint in the
yellow sunlight. Heaps of silvery sar
dines flash and glitter beneath the sails.
Myriads of hovering gulls bear the vast
fleet company, for their wise instinct tells
them the fishermen never begrudge tlieni
a j-hare of their daily harvest from the
deep.
Scenes in the Keantiful Harbor.
Every manner of the smaller craft known
to the" Mediterranean waters are plying
back and lorth. Boats full of customs
officials dart from vessel to vessel, now and
then converging toward a narrow archway
at the 'water's edge where the fruits of the
chase are tithed and stored. Gentry and
peasantry from the surrounding villas and
larms are coming and going in the out
landish craft pointed like gondolas at both
ends, propelled by pwarthy boatmen with
breasts open and hairv to the -nai-t. The
blue and white flag of Portugal flutters from
conntless harbor masts, there are music
and la'jghtcr on boat and on shore. The
ky above is the sky of Italy. The waters
beneath have that tint of azure which hints
of bloom. And wheu one has landed at
Lisbon and is at rest npon some pretty
balcony, air and sky, sea and mountains,
street and garden, courts and fountains, men
and beasts, women and voices, all sight and
sound and seeming, prompt to delicious
siesta and enchant to tender repose.
Lisbon is neither so fair as Florence, so
dazzling as Palermo, so brilliant as Paris,
nor by any means so impressive as Home.
But its situation, its surroundings and its
striking contrasts lend the city and envi
rons a deep and lasting charm. Palace,
church, monastery, convent, public build
ing, home and shop are jumbled together in
picturesque confusion. Its parks are many
and pleasant, somnolent and restful, rather
than brilliant and grand.
Down by the water's edge is the fine broad
qusdrange, Praca de Commercio, or Black
Horse Square, as the English have called it.
This is bordered by the huge Stock Ex
change, the India House, the "Alfandega"
or Custom House, the splendid naval ar
senal, and the broad quay at the shore of
the Tagus. In the center is the hugest me
morial in Lisbon, the heroic statue of King
Jose I., whose historic reign was cotem
norary with our revolution. Forty tons of
bronze are in the statue alone, supported by
a marble horse and elephant carved of equal
size for symmetry.
Pleasing 5tndie of a City's Lire.
Leading out of this square to the north is
a magnificent triumphal arch; and within
the quadrangle, from river to arch, are
pleasing studies of the great city's com
mercial life in its relation to the trade and
affairs of foreign nations; while picturesque
groupings of Lisbon boatmen mingled with
Portuguese officials, officers from foreign
war ships, debarking and embarking
steamer passengers, with all manner ot
strange sailors and men-of-wars' men in
their various strange costumes, continually
change and enliven the scene.
To the east a littte distance along the
broad fine quay is the Praca dos Eomulares,
which leads into the Attero, a magnificent
seaside traffic thoroughfare of perhaps two
miles in length. In the former are denser
crowds of boatmen and waterside folk, and
here is located the Caes do Sodro where
strangers are usually landed. At all hours
of day and night it is an interesting local
ity. The Lisbon boatmen have no other
homes but their boats In them they cook
their meals and sleep. Until long after
midnight you can come upon little fleets of
from a dozen to a score of these, grouped
neighborly together, their swarthy owners
eating, drinking and singing in an utter
abandon of contentment and good nature.
They are a wild and hairy lot, but the Lis
bon police tell me they are wholly peace
able, and are governed in all their dealings
and relations among themselves by ancient
and unbroken customs and laws." In this
respect they are most strikingly like the
fishermen of Claddagh, at Galu ay, Ireland.
Thev also bear strong physical and facial re
semblance to the latter," vhicli is not to be
wondered at, since the latter, as well as
many of the other Galway Irish folk of, the
present day, are descended from Spanish
and Portuguese parent stock.
3Xnre Interesting Than Picturetqne.
Architecturally Lisbon in detail is vastly
more interesting -than beautiful.- AS you
approach it from the sea, with its domes
and towers, all- flanked by castellated
heightsand purple mountain behind, it is
imposing and grand. When you come to
wander within it you-are never astonished
or even greatly impressed by its edifices.
Its churches are less interesting than those
of any other city of equal size in Europe.
The Church of "the Heart of Jesus, on the
summit of Estrella Hill, in imitation of St.
Peter's at Home, without the colonnade, is
the most pretentious in Lisbon. The church
of Sao Domingo, the see of the Cardinal
Patriarch, near the Eocio, is vast in propor
tions. The mortuary church of Sao "Vicente
is interesting chiefly from its contain
ing, in curious gilt boxes, the remains of
the illustrious dead of the royal House
of Braganca. The tiny church of 'San
Eoque, with its famous Chapel of St.
John, attracts all visitors on account of its
marvelous mosaics. These, forming the
back and sides of the structure, are copies
in veritable size of Eaphael Urbino's De
scent of the Holy Ghost, Guido's Annun
ciation and Michael Angelo's Baptism of
Christ. The wonderful perfection of this
work is shown in the fact that from any or
dinary point of observation, no difference
between them and the originals can be de
tected. More curious still the entire chapel
and its interior decorations were first set up
in Eome, blessed by Pope Benedict XIV.,
taken down, and transferred to its present
site. Its cost has been millions and there
is probably not in the whole world such
treasure in art work, silver, gold and preci
ous stones, in sacred edifice of equal dimen
sions. The T.islion or Colnmbns Time.
It is the charm of extreme contrast and
endless change which holds and makes one
love old Lisbon. There are no two streets.
pracas. churches, public buildings, shops or
homes alike. Away from the half dozen
modern business streets, it is almost the
same Lisbon that Colnmbns knew. Here is
a shadowy shop of one story where grimy
men crope about among gritty piles of
charcoal. The next building may be a
three or five story structure housing the
richest of wares, "whose upper stories are
fancifully decorated in gorgeous paints and
gilts.
Xext to this on one side of a dark pass
age jolly cobblers beat ceaseless staccatos, a
cutler grinds and hammers on the other, and
away in there a stream of light shows ex
quisite stairs leading to some enclosed
court where a home of opulence is em
bedded in vinesand roses. Everywhere are
ponderous base and arch, huge column and
tremendous entablature, often supporting
buildings whose insignificance is ludicrously
startling.
In many of the older public edifices the
architecture is Moorish, or semi-Moorish,
and the facades :.re often flanked by square
towers and diminutive Saracenic domes.
The general plan of shop and abode in the
ancient portions of the city is, the shop
below and the home above, or the lower
story is used as a sort of entrada
to "walled in home structures in the
rear, or the habitation above. In the latter
case these cntradas are temporary shops for
itinerant cobblers, cutlers, saddlers and the
like, or lounging places for beggars, don
keys and goats. But however unsavory
may seem the ground floor of, or the street
entrance to, any structure, tiie upper
stories of the same, or the pretty home nests
behind, afford abundant compensation in
picturesque groupings and scenes.
As Many Balconies as Havana.
Balconies are as universal as in Havana,
Valiadolod, Madrid or Seville Some pro
ject from supports of carved stone. Others
rest with airy insecuritv upon fancifully
wrought timbers, and still others may be
seen in the daintiest patterns into which
brass and iron may be wrought. Many are
latticed; and in this lattice-work are odd
little slides and gates. Behind these the
fair Portueuese women eat their daintv
salads, of whic'i they are inordinately fond,
and sip their wines and ices. And from a
partially-ooe-ied lattice as you pass you will
catch glances from lovely eves, and as often
smiles and coquettish looks from roguish
faces. The Lisbon maidens must be chary
of their looks upon friends or strangers in
the street; but social custom gives them the
somewhat compensative and altogether
blessed right to flirt desperately. with you
from the lofty and safe outposts of their
balconied alcobas.
As one passes toward the outskirts of
Lisbon, all of that suggestive of the home
is pleasanter still. There is a hint ot snug
ness in the high surrounding, vine-covered
walls of varus and courts. Here the open
court of flie Spaniard and the Moor becomes
more common and more beautiful. It
shelters the hqme-gatherings and belong
ings of the average family. All its mem
bers are more or less within it, or within
reach of voice from it. Many lovely flowers
and clambering vines light up the place in
winter a? well as in summer days. The
murmurous fall of water is always heard,
for no patio is without its fountain. And
poor indeed is the home in old Lisbon that
has not its walled garden with a wealth of
flowers, plants, umbrageous trees and
quaint, tiled, ground-sunken troughs
through which the water is ceaselessly
whimpering and whispering for all the
gardens are thus irrigated while every
court and garden is melodious with the
songs of scores of those matchless brown
canaries which are weekly brought, hun
dreds upon hundreds, from the sunlit isles
of the Azores. Edgar L. Wakemax.

A JIILLIOBAIEE IN HABD LUCK-
His Divorced Wife Insists Upon His Sup
porting His Children.
Cikcixkati, Jan. 1. Special There
was shown at the Court House to-day a
document which is the last legal work
of the famous attorney, the lamented
Isaac M. Jordan. It is a plea for ?10,000
for support of children on behalf of Mrs.
Eva Blessing, formerly the wife of "Wash
ington D. Keys, the millionaire of New
Albany, Ind. It is known that this mother,
who, with her children, is in dire want, de
serted Keys for another. After procuring a
divorce, Mr. Keys married Miss DePauvr,
of Green Castle, and is now one of the sol
idly wealthy men of the country, while the
man for whom his wife deserted him is an
obscure mechanic
Mrs. Blessing, however, is determined
that Mr. Keys shall assist to support the
children of their marriage. She cannot
help them because her financial resources
are too slender to even permit her to sup
ply her own pressing wants. In this view
of the case the plea on behalf of the chil
dren which was drawn by Mr. Jordan just
before he dashed headlong to his death
down the elevator shaft is to be received.
It will be filed in a few days by another at
torney. Ill luck has followed Mrs. Keys
ever since her flight, w hich she says was
caused by Keys' cruelty. Her life here
has been blameless, and her children are
lovely little ones, while one of those with
Keys has for years been in the reform
school.

EARLY CLUB HISTORY.
Classic Gatherings of the Sociably
Inclined Ancients.
POETS PEAISED THEIR VIRTUES.
Even Ladles Had Organizations for Friendly
Intercourse.
GAT TIMES AT THE
JIERMAID TAYEKN
In his great dictionary,Dr. Johnson defines
the word club as "an assembly ot good fel
lows meeting under certain conditions,"
says Chambers' Journal, and proceeds to il
lustrate his meaning by a sentence from
Dryden: "What right has any man to meet
in factious clubs to vilify the Government?"
Though such a definition was no doubt suf
ficient in the day in which it was written,
it is to-day utterly inadequate to include
the vast scries of organizations known as
clubs. Of the people in whose daily life a
club plays an important part,it may be safely
asserted that not one in a hundred has any
idea of the origin and early history of the
institutions with which he is so familiar.
"Clubs seem so essentially modern, so
much a part of our everyday lives, that we
are ant to forget that they have any history
at all. We are proverbially ignorant of
common things, and though industrious
people have written volunr-s on such mat
ters, they do not seem to have been very
successful in putting an end to the prevail
ing gloom. The history of clubs is a
subject of considerable interest, taking
us back to the classic days of Greece
and Eome, and thence to the days
of Queen Elizabeth, reminding us that, after
all, there is nothing new under the sun. It
is to Greece that we must look for the first
page of the story. Of course, the old
Athenian clubs were not in all respects
similar to those of modern London; but
there was nevertheless between them a
strong affinity, for Aristotle tells us that
men of the same trade and members of a
particular tribe were wont to club together
for business purposes.
Some Combined for Social Intercourse.
He goes on to sav tha. others combined
for the sake of social intercourse, and adds
that "these meet together for the sake of
one another's company and to offer sacri
fices; when they meet.they both pay certain
honors to the gods, and at the same time
take pleasures and relaxation among them
selves." In Eome, the earliest clubs were
the trade guilds founded by Nunia, similar
to the guilds of craftsmen which
play so important a part in the
art" history of the middle ages. At one
time, there were 80 of these guilds in Eome
alone, and they were not confined to the
metropolis, for the boatmen of the Seine at
Paris, and the boatmen of the lower Ehone
formed clubs of their own. Very closely
allied to the Masonic lodges of our day were
the secret societies formed throughout the
Roman Empire for the practice of religious
rites unknown to the State.
An idea of the extent of club life in
Eome may be obtained from the fact
that even the slaves attached to the great
houses of the city formed clubs of their own.
In the house of Augustus there would seem
to have been several clubs of this kind, for '
his chef de cuisine left a snm of money for
the benefit of the club of cooks, of which
he was a member. The history of the
purely social clubs of the Eoman Empire
is incomplete. They were formed chiefly
by Eomans employed in the more distant
parts of the empire, in order to lessen the
feeling of isolation which their exile in
volved. Notwithstanding that military
clubs were prohibited by the State, they
were tolerated among the officers of regi
ments employed in foreign service, as a
compensation for the social disadvantages
entailed in a long residence abroad. ;
Club Rules in Ancient Times.
The rules of a club of officers of a regi
ment on service in Africa have been dis
covered on the site of a Eoman encamp
ment. They are engraved on two stone
pillars, which stood in a conspicuous posi
tion near the residence of the commander.
The contribution to such a club was about
23 pounds, two-thirds of which were
returned to his representatives on the
death of the member, or to himself
on his retirement from the service. The
expenses of the funeral of a deceased mem
ber were paid by his club, or he might claim
a portion of his contribution to enable him to
travel in foreign countries. If he made use
of this privilege, the liability of the club to
bury him was at an end.
Another form of the social club was the
ladies' club. Although we are accustomed
to look upon ladies' clubs as institutions
especially characteristic of our own times,
they are in fact far older than English civil
ization itself. The ladies' clubs of
Eome were very numerous, and met for
religious as well as for social purposes.
The most distinguished of them was known
popularly as the "Senate of Matrons." Its
title was derived from an imperial edict.
Attached to it was a debating society in
which momentous questions of etiquette
and dress were discussed with becoming
gravitv. Sometimes the fair women so far
condescended as to interfere in municipal
questions, and when a man who was so
fortunate as to gain their goodwill died,
the ladies erected a statue of their hero.
Political CInbs Among the Eomans.
Political clubs were common to both
Greece and Eome. Mr. Grote has shown
that the Athenian aristocrats on the one
hand, and democrats on the other, ad
vanced their principles by means of politi
cal clubs in much the same way as is done
throughout Great Britain to-day. A select
company of the young men ot
Greece, inspired by the teach
ings of the voluptuous epicurean
Aristippus, formed themselves into a
club, to which thev gave the gloomy and
significant title of "Those About to Die
Together." A weird description of the
banqueting ball of these eccentric indi
viduals remains: "Over some flasks of the
red Chian wine, within the walls of a noble
hall, in a dim city we sat. at night, a com
pany of seven. And to our chamber there
was no entrance save by a lofty door ot
brass; and the door was fashioned by the
artisan Corinnos, and, being of rare work
manship, was fastened from within.
"Black draperies likewise, in the gloomy
room, shut out from our view the
moon, the Inrid stars, and the people-
jess streets; out me Doaing ana the
.memory of evil, they would not be so
excluded." Although! there were 'clubs in
these classic lands, generally speaking,
there were no club houses. Buildings of
this kind were, indeed, not so necessary in
Greece and Italy, where men could meet in
the shade of a tcmp!e or at the baths, as in
England, where the climate is unfavorable
to open-air lounging. To pass from Greece
and Italy before Christ to England in the
reign of Henry IV. is a long step. Clubs
seem to have become extinct in the
interval which divides these distant
periods, for the secret societies of
the middle ages were hardly clnbs,
even using the word in its broadest sense.
They were rather associations formed to
hand down from age to age some secret,
and the social idea was altogether absent
from them.
An Early Dav English Club.
The first definite information we have of
using an English club is given to us by
Thomas Ocleve, the poet, who was born
nbout 1370. This early club was called
"La Court de bone Compagnie," and it is
probable that it.includedamongits members
Chaucer and Ocleve himself. Ocleve sent
to one Henry Somer a metrical notice of a
kind of club dinner at which he was to
occupy the chair:
For the dyner arraye
Ageyn Thirsday next and nat is delaye.
There is besides in existence a remonstrance
from Somer at the social excesses of which
some, of the members would seem to have
been guilty. Although clubs were revived
thus early, the word club did not then ex
ist. It is from an Anglo-Saxon verb clofan,
meaning to divide expenses; but the first
time the word is used by an English writer is
in 1659, when Aubrey the antiquary, writes:
"We now use tlie word Clubbe for
a sodality held in a tavern."
The Bame author mentions a ballot box:
"Here we had (very formally) a ballot
ing box, and balloted how things should
be carried." During the reigns of Eliza
beth and James I. a large number of clubs
arose, some of which have become famous
owing to the great men who were members
of them. First among these was the bril
liant society which met at the Mermaid
Tavern, of which Shakespeare and Ben
Jonson were members. Its doings are
described in a letter from Beaumont to
Ben Jonson:
What things we have seen
Done at the "Mermaid !" Heard words-that
have been
So nimble and so full of subtile flame.
As if everyone from whom tliev came
Hiul meant to put his whole wit In a jest,
And had resolved to live a fool the rest
Of his dull life.
Gay Times at the Mermaid Tavern.
The meetings at the Mermaid have al
ways been an attractive subject for poets.
Browning has written of them; and there
are the lines of Keats:
Siuls of poets dead and gone,
What clvsinm have ye known
Happy field or mossy cavern
Choicer than the Merniaid Tavern?
An earlier club than the Mermaid was
the "Apollo Club," almost the first of the
kind. It met at the tavern with the sign
of the "Devil," in Fleet street, and was
presided over by Ben Jonson himself, who,
in his "Marmioh," makes Careless say he has
"come from Apollo:"
From the heaven
Of my delight, whore the boon Delphic god
Drinks sack, and keeps his bacchanalin
And lias his altars and his Inccnss smoking,
And speaks in sparkling prophecies.
During the Commonwealth arose the
famous "Eota Club," which was formed for
the propagation of republican opinions. It
numbered among its members the most illus
trious literary men of the time. There were
Milton, Harrington, the author of "Oceana,"
Andrew Marvell, Cyriac Skinner and
Ncvill. Cecil Hay, in his work on "Modern
Club-life," mentions the Eotaas represented
now by "those compromises between public
houses and debating societies known by the
name of Discussion Halls or Forums,
of which a certain establishment
yclept "Cogers" Hall," in Shoe
Lane, Fleet street, may be mentioned as a
specimen." Alas, the Cogers' Hall is no
more! The "Sealed Knot" was the opposi
tion club to the Eota. All its members were
Royalists, and organized in favor of the ex
iled Charles a general insurrection which
never took place.
From this time the decav of the old tavern
clubs set in. Gradually clubs began to con
ceive the idea of having buildings of their
own, and the old inns were deserted. A
clubhouse was founded in Pall-Mall in the
reign of George III., and became the fore
runner of that great series of club palaces
which lends to not a few of the streets
of London whatever magnificence they can
boast. Some of the clubs still existing
link the new era of club-life with the old.
The Cocoa-tree Club of which Defoe
wrote, "A Whig will no more go to the
Cocoa-tree than a Tory will be seen-at the
coffee house of St. James' " has its house in
James' street; and White's Club, founded
nearly two centeries ago, is still popular.
One can well imagine how great would be
the astonishment of the original members
of one of these old institutions if they could
see the changes which have been wrought
in the places in which they must have
passed many happy hours, and for which
they could hardly fail to feel some affection.

A MILD DON JUAH.
Mansfield riays in a Very Odd Bole at the
Alvin Ther.ter.
There is something incomprehensible as
well as whimsical about "Don Juan,"
written and acted by Richard Mansfield at
the Alvin Theater on Thursday night and
yesterday. It has no plot to speak of, and
after being pretty much of a farce through
three acts, winds up in semi-tragic style,
with all the seriousness of a drama. Mr.
Mansfield's purpose is clear, however. It
is an entertainment for the display of Mr.
Mansfield's personality. The young hero is
not Byron's, but a milder and more moral
youth, who does nothing worse than
fall in love with every girl he meets at first
sight. He gets into many a pretty pickle
by so doing, and the course of his many
loves make an amusing narrative. The cos
tumes apparently put Don Jnan back into
the seventeenth "century. Mr. Mansfield's
impersonation of a raw impressionable boy
was artistic of course, and it was humorous,
especially the transition from one love fever
to another. The delirious maundering of
the last act was so purposeless and out of
harmony with the fun of the previous acts
that it was simply tiresome, and if Mr.
Mansfield has any desire to perpetuate
"Don Juan" he'll have to write a new con
clusion. It is conspicuously a one-part
piece, but Miss Beatrice Cameron managed
to look very lovely as LxuAa, particularly in
page's attire, and Miss Sheridan, of course,
was satisfactory. Mr. Ferguson was so
funny with his few chances that one wished
thev were- more. On Thursday night and
at the matinee yesterday "Don Juan" was
witnessed by large audiences that enjoyed it.
