DE COURCY BROWN'S COLLAPSE.
The Sad Experiences of a Bon
Vivant.
Hii Dinner at Home Was Not Good
Enough.
Bnt After Several Horrid Advantnrei
ll* Uontentad Himietr With
• Similar Itlll of
Vara.
I am and have always been a very ex
cellent friend of James de Oonrcy Brown,
esq., whose splendid Queen Anne cot
tage adorns Bluebottle avenue, Boyle
Heights, and many a little supper have
I oonaumed with him, and, entre paren
these, at his expense, late at night in
the hospitable "cabinet! particuliers" of
our most renowned restaurateur. I can
not deny it, I am a gourmet, and as to
DeCourcy, as we always call him when
he develops Inclinations to act as our
host, why, he is a bon vivant in tbe
fullest acceptation of tbe term.
Unfortunately, Mrs. Brown is not at
all disposed to indulge her husband in
what she vulgarly calls bis "hoggish"
in stinots, and the dinners at Magnolia
villa are no more comparable to De-
Courcv'e "sonpers fins" at the "Grotto"
(ban a boiled barnyard rooster is to a
pheasant stuffed with trollies.
Ths fact of the matter is tbat Jimmy
Brown had his first start in life as a
bod-carrier, and it was while carrying
brick up a ladder to a third-story build
ing tbat he first made tbe acquaintance
of Biddy Jones, wbo later on became
Mrs. Lilian de Conroy Brown. Contracts
aod jobs, mostly tbs latter, had soon en
riched my friend beyond the wildest
dreams—l mean such dreams aa he en
tertained when he boarded and lodged
in a tumble-down shanty on San Pedio
street for (4 per week.
With the filling of bis pocketbook and
the aggrandizement of his bank account,
his stomach had made its power felt to
Brown. While his eduoation had been
so neglected that writing a menu would
forever remain to him an impossible
feat, to make amends, nature bad most
fortunately endowed him with an ex
quisite and delightful perception of
tbings which are good to eat, and how
to have them dished up.
It was an everlasting matter of regret
to Brown that his Biddy, long since
christened Lilian, had been unable to
keep pace with bim in bis gastronomic
education, but that, rather to tbe con
trary, she was decidedly willing to retro
grade and eat the plainest and most
vulgar dishes of a tasteless Yankee cui
sine. Nay, not only did she prefer a
New England dinner to a "poulet a la
Marengo," but in her ill-advised blunt
ness she did not hesitate to qualify the
appreciative delioacy of Brown's palate
as the "gluttony cravings of a gormand
izing sot," which she would never coun
tenance as long as she lived.
Who will blame our friend De Courcy,
then, if he spent considerable money on
quiet little dinners and suppers, always
strictly on tbe q. t., as a matter ol course ?
Al home, the bill of fare was an eternal
reminder of his hod-carrying days. Why
should he ever be reminded of tbe time
when pork and beans was a godsend?
Tell me tbat. There was no sense in
such a devils' kitchen, when there was
money, and plenty of it, for the best,
and "slathers ay it."
I am very much afraid that if my
friend James de Courcy Brown ever
finds on' who has divulged the little
episode that is to follow, tbat I shall
never, never again partake of his taste
ful little gastronomic surprises at tbe
Q- itto, but if the editor of the Herald
will kindly keep my came an inviolable
secret, Brown will not even surmise
who gave away the snap. Tbe story is
too good to keep, and that is why I give
it away.
Last Thursday afternoon James de
Courcey Brown drove up to Magnolia
villa, Bluebottle avenue, Boyle Heights,
where, as we have seen, he keeptt his
lares and psnates, as well as his airy
fairy Lilian, and having seen his 2:20
gelding stabled, marched into the
house. He was, as he esld himself, a
leetle pecking, and sniffed tbe atmos
phere nearest the kitchen euspioionsly,
as usual, and probably more audibly
than usual, owing to a slight cold.
Lilian, wbo had been superintending
dinner in the kitchen, heard tbe snort
and came into the hall, ready for the
daily battle.
"What is the menoo today, dearest?"
queried Brown.
"Tbe old song!" was the answer.
"What is tbe menoo? It is my opinion
that when you present yourself before
St. Peter at the gates your first question
will be as to the menoo in Paradise.
Well, Jimmy, the glutton, here's your
nenoo: Bean soup, salt mackerel, Irish
(too and baked apples."
"By St. Lawrence and bis gridiron I"
400 th James, turning two sbadss
redder at tbe same time, and holding
on to the bannister of tbe stairs, "by
St. Anthony and his fat pig I may I
never est another morsel if I swallow
your no 'count salt mackerel and your
blamed stoo—lrish or no Irish. That's
flat. There is no sense in making me
eat yer hash house grub, and me rich
enough to afford turkey four times a
day. Irish stew! Bah 1"
"Well, then, you gormandizing glut
ton, go down town and spend your sub
stance with those parasites that call
themselves your friends and eat you out
of house and home, and bother me no
longer. Yer stomach will be yer death
yet."
James had slowly withdrawn while
his wifs was talking until he reached bis
own room, and all the answer Lilian
got was a deafening slam of the door,
after which she retired to the kitchen to
even things with tbs cook, by giving
ber a true history of Jamas' gluttony
•nd hoggishness for the thousandth
time.
A letter lay upon Brown's table. He
tore open the envelope and read as fol
lows:
"Dear Mr. db Coubcy Brown: The
pleasure of your company is requested
tonight at 7 o'clock at our house. We
have a splendid Lake Tahoe trout, a
piece of venison, and a tnrkey hen that
*>■* been fed on walnnts. Yours truly,"
"Mum, mum, mum," said Brown,
"what is this signature? E. J. Haw
kins? No. E. J. Perkins? No. E. J.
Jenkins? Or maybe it is E. J. Hop
kins. Darn a man who can't write his
name so yon can read it! And such a
good dinner, too 1 Holy Moses, what a
feast! Well, I have lots ol time. Pli
try every one of the four. They live a
little distance from each other, bnt
what's tbe odds. I have got time."
And Mr. Brown immediately dressed
himself, pu» on • very light summer
overcoat and left Magnolia villa, with
out so much co a thought for his Lilian
•ad her Irish "itoo." The cable car
b ronght him to Spring street, where he
took a hack end away he rushed to
Hawkins', on Thirty-fourth street, near
tbe oity limits, where he found that the
whole family was at Oatalina. Thence
to Jenkins', whose elegant new house is
in the vicinity of the Elyaian park.
Here a yellow sign proclaimed fever.
Well, Brown would try again.
His next call was at University at the
house ol the Hon. Elisha J. Perkins, ex
controller of wildoat currency in tbe
state of Mississippi. Brown rang the
bell and the servant introduced him in
the parlor. Mrs. Perkins, the amiable
and ancient mother of tbe Hon. Elisba
was there, as talkative as ever. Bnt
how is a man to hold a conversation
with an old woman who is deaf and
dumb, and who uses her bands and ber
boxers like a semaphore when you don't
understand tbe alphabet. After awful
ineffectual efforts during wbicb Brown
made signs of carving fish and fowl,
potting his finger in his mouth, pre
tending to drink out of a glass and rub
bins; bis stomach, he had to give it up.
The old lady looked scared and Brown
believed she was going to faint. So he
got up suddenly, rushed out into the
street, entered bis hack and made the
driver go like the deuce. You cannot
get it out of Mrs. Perkins' head now
tbat Brown is not stark mad and a fit
subject for Highlands.
Brown took the letter out of his pocket
attain, scanning the signature critically.
"Thunder I What a fool I was. Here
have 1 been driving all over the city,
miles and miles, and tbat signature is
Hopkins' just as plain as tbe nose on a
man's face. Why, of oonrse, it's from
my friend E. J. Hopkins, tbe only fel
la w in the whole gang who knows how
to eat. and Mrs. Hopkins knows what's
good. Hope I ain't going to be too late.
Let's see, Hopkins is now living on
Spring street. Driver, go to Spring
etreet, or stay, let me out at the city
hall."
When Brown had paid $7 60 to Gabby
he rushed to Hopkins' on Spring street.
You will permit me to be a little hazy
as to tbe exact location, in view of what
ia to follow. Hopkins and wife have no
children and live in apartments fur
nished by themselves. The truth of the
matter is that Hopkins waa away in
San Franuisco, and Mrs. Hopkins, who
has the reputation of being somewhat
gay—l myself don't believe a word of
it—bad ordered a very fine dinner for
two from a restaurateur in tbe neighbor-
hood, to ba brought to tier room. Not
having a servant, a waiter had been
hired to fetch the dinner and wait at
table.
What Mrs. Hopkins' instructions to
the waiter had been, I do not know, bnt
be was on the lookout for the guest. He
must have been aware tbat the guest
was to be a gentleman, because when
Brown knocked at the door, the flunkey
immediately relieved bim of hia hat
and overcoat and told him to help him
self to a snissesse on tbe sideboard, as
an appetizer.
When Brown looked at the well-ap
pointed dinner table be waa somewhat
purzled to notice tbat covera had only
been laid for two. But tbat waa eaeily
fixed. He couldn't ask the waiter
about it, because tbat worthy bad gone
away. However, James de Couroy
Brown was delighted. At last he bad
struck the right place, and just in time !
What lnck, after alii But where waa
Hopkins, and the charming Mrs. Hop
kins, where was she? With the famili
arity of an old friend he thought he
would look them np.
As he was opening a door leading from
the dining room into another, a scuttle
was beard in tbe hall; the ball door
opened and in rushed Hopkins, red as a
rooster and foaming at the mouth.
"Ah 1 you serpent! you rascal! you
scoundrel. At last I catch yon. That's
the way you treat me when I am out of
town. Come here to dine with my
wife! eh! You old sinner. Your wife
will learn of this. And yon call yourself
my friend. You, James de Courcy
Brown! Damn you, Jamea de Couroy
Brown 1"
Poor Jamea waa too flabbergasted to
aay a word, or to offer any reeistance
when Hopkins seized bim by tbe nape
of tbe neck, and with sundy punobes
and kicks threw him down the stairs.
He landed in a sitting posture on the
sidewalk, dusty and his clothea all torn,
just in time to be picked up by the po
liceman on the beat.
"Phwat koind ay a manner ay coom
ing down the nthairs do yez caall this!
Oi shall have to arrist yez and take yez
down to the stachun for dlstoorbing the
pace, and dbrunk and disorderly, mis
ter, or shall I call the amboolance, seeing
that ye hit the sidewalk so hard?"
Just then tbe sergeant, who was on
hia rounds came along and the police
man reported to him. It would prob
ably have gone pretty hard (or a few
minutes with poor James, as the officer
wan going to telephone for the patrol
wagon, bad not a friend of Brown
arrived opportunely, wbo vouched for
hia sobriety and respectability, aud the
sergeant allowed him to depart with a
oantion to show np at tbe police court
on Friday at I:3U, in oaee there was
any fuss or complaint. The good
Samaritan who had rescued James
de Courcy Brown, after brushing him
off, took him to a hat store and made
him buy a dollar chip hat, after which
he lugged bim along to an electric car.
"Come along, Brownsey, old boy,
come along, and eat your dinner with
me. Its a long time since you have
called and my wife will be glad to see
you."
Brown was a little dubious, but he
had to eat. So he went along to East
Los Angeles, to tbe end of the line, and
then five blocks afoot.
When they got to tha friend's home
the latter said to his wife: "My dear,
I have bronght onr old friend Brown
home to uinuer. What have yon got to
eat that is good?"
"Why, today was wash day, Charles
Albert, and I have not got very much."
"Oh, that's all right. Brown will
take pat luck. What have yon got?"
"Well, to tell you the truth, there is
only bean soup, salt mackerel, Irish
'stoo' and baked apples!"
Then James de Couroy Brown col
lapsed. F. C.

extent soluble in water, owing to the al

LOS ANGELES HERALD SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 2, 1894.
THE GIRL IN WHITE.
MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF LIZ
ZIE CLARK TWENTY YEARS AGO.
The Tragedy of a Little Illinois Town.
Harder or Sniclde—The Ghost That Is
Been by Hnnters and River Men—lt la
Always Arrayed In a White Gown.
Fnlly 20 years have passed since Liz
rio Clark, an orphan with a heritage,
disappeared from a hotel in Dallas City,
His., as completely as if the earth had
swallowed her np. Iv all that western
country there has never been a stranger
cuso than tho disappearance of that girl,
and thoro has never been a greater ghost
mystery than has boen and still is occa
sioned by the evidently disembodied
spirit of the girl.
The story of Lizzie Clark has been
county history. She was an orphan and
had some property and money. A guard
ian bad been appointed, and Lizzie,
being ambitions to add to her littlo
store, set about to work in a hotel hard
by the river's edge. Through tho dining
room of this hotel runs the line between
Hanoock and Henderson counties, so
that often a guest reached from Han
cock into Henderson county when after
butter. A country swain and his lass,
if seated opposite each other at this
board, are in different counties. Many
a man wanted for some offense in Han
cock county hits sat at this table in Hen
derson county and grinned at tho sheriff
of Hancock county.
It was one afternoon about 20 yeara
ago that Lizzie Clark, who had been
washing dishes in the kitchen, stepped
out into the yard of the hotel. She waa
seen to leave the kitchen by several
working aronnd the house, who paid no
attention to the girl, but that was the
last ever seen of her. Those who saw
her step ont into the yard heard no
scream, no stifled moan, no struggling,
but there are people yet living who be
lieve that the girl was suddenly seized,
strangled, conoealed in the house until
dark and then oast into the dark river.
Bo that as it may, the murderers, if
they remained in the same locality long,
have been amply tormented since.
It ia said that tbe murderers did not
leave the locality for some time there
after, and yet, again, others say tho
girl was never murdered, but drowned
herself, and that her ghost is not one of
a murdered person's, bnt one of a sui
cide. All one can gain from tbe differ
ent stories and theories is that tho girl
was dealt with foully in some manner,
and that her ghost still haunts the lo
cality. Of course every effort was made
to ferret out tho mystery. Detectives
hunted high and low, money was spent
to no purpose, and finally the guardian
of the girl's estate turned her money
and property over to the county authori
ties, in whose hand it remains to this
day because there is no kith or kin to
claim it.
The girl's ghost was first seen in De
cember, 1887, when a party of duck
hnnters were returning to Dallas City
from the islands. An excursion steamer
had become disabled late in the season
and was lying on the bank of the island
across the bay. She was in a rather bad
fix. It was expected to leave her there
during the winter. As the hunters
neared the craft a form in white was
seen to run out upon the upper deck. It
was a young girl's figure, and she was
evidently being pursued, for from
across the water came screams, and then
the following words: "Leave mo alone,
leave me alone, or I will drown my
self!" With that the specter flung itself
into the river. There was a splash, and
the cold waters closed over tho white
body. Several times during that winter
the ghost of Lizzie Clark was seen at
night and at early candle light around
the disabled steamer. When the steamer
was taken away the next spring, work
men and steamboatmen heard pitiful
screams from the willows on shore as
the boat moved away. The spirit did
not leave the island, and it is believed
now that she was buried on the islaud
after the murder.
Of later years, however, the girl's
ghost has heon seen in a skiff at night,
and it was only a few evenings ago that
one of the St. Lonis aud St. Paul fast
steamers ran into the speotral thing.
The pilot did not see the ghostly craft
until too late. He says he saw a boat of
white that looked more like floating
fleece than anythiug else. In the boat
was a young girl in white raiment, but
there were blood clots on the white
dress. "She was rowing swiftly. When
the prow of the steamer struck this frail
craft, it cut through it liko mist The
ghostly occupant only laughed a sort of
uncanny langh—a half soream—and
when we had passed I saw the spectral
craft dancing on the waves behind. I
donbt if an ordinary skiff could have
lived in the waves of our steamer, right
under the paddles." Thus spoke the
pilot, and be is a man of few words and
sterling integrity.
' 'Have you scon Lizzie Clark's Doat?"
is now the question that goes from one
mouth to another during the summer
season. The question is not asked so of
ten in winter from the fact that the
poor girl's spirit does not seem to roam
so much. Hunters havo come into Dal
las shaking with fright and calling for
a dram to brace their nerves, saying
that while coming down from the is
lands above on the ioe they had met Liz
zie Clark walking rapidly toward them.
She always wears that white dress, and
the blood stains on the neck are plain.
The girl's eyes aro always staring wide
open, as if sho wero being suffocated.
Her spirit has been known to step out
from behind a clump of dead trees at
the head of the island and face passerß
by. She will give them a terrible look
and then scream piteously. In an in
stant moro the spirit has disappeared.—
