San Francisco, Sept. 28.—“If you want
to go through Chinatown and see it thor
oughly and In all Its phases, got Billy
Glennon to take you,” was the advico ten
dered me by those who know tho ropes.
So I sought Mr. William Glennon, who
for ten years was a police ofllccr in China
town and who now Is the detective of the
Palace hotel. Glonnon is a veritable Beau
Brummel in appearance, manner and
dress. Ho boasts of having conducted more
distinguished visitors through Chinatown
than any other policeman in San Frau
MURDERERS’ ALLEY.
cisco. His watch chain sports a handsome
locket given him by Henry Irving as a
* aivrnir of the actor's trip, and ladles of
all ranks and professions, from Mrs. Har
rison to Amelia Hives, have been ills pro
tegees on visits to the most picturesque
quarter of San Francisco.
“Frankly," said he as we made our ar
rangements, “there are a lot of catchpenny
fakes in Chinatown calculated to delude
and rob the tonderfoot. Guides tell tho
most amazing stories, which visitors swal
low with great gusto. I shall take pleas
ure in putting you on to some of these
fakes for tho benetlt of tho public.’’
So, really sacrificing myself for tho bene
fit of the great American ptiblio, which so
loves to lie humbugged, I decided to en
dure tho loathsomo features of Chinatown
for an evening In order to warn others.
An Individual Town.
In the first, place, Chinatown Is really a
little city by itself, a town swarming und
bristling with those weird, curious folks
who in ceaselessly running hither and
t hit her remind one of nothing so much ns
an army of black beetles, hurrying about,
disappearing suddenly in the ground and
as suddenly liobblng up again. There are
80,000 of these black booties In Chinatown,
and every ouo of thorn Is out after night
fall. Vou sfop from tho crowded modern
American streets of Sun Francisco straight
Into n bit of heathendom. The transforma
tion is so sudden it feozes you for a timo.
Down narrow streets filled with truck
sters’ shops, chioken coops, temporary pig
pens, fish stalls, wood piles, baskets and
dirt you go, holding your nose. The fiare
of burning peanut oil on littlo braziers Il
luminates the gaudy josshouses.the deafen
ing crash of tomtoms und bung of cymbals
from tho theaters torment your oars, tho
mournful Celestial gibberish everywhere
resounds, dark, evil facos glare in yours
for an instant and are gono, only to bo re
placed by more dark, evil faces—this is
Chinatown. These streets center In dismal
open courts, reeking in filth and surround
ed Iiy rooms scarcely bigger than rutholcs
wherein tho blnck beetles burrow.
“Chinks” thrive best and liuddlo closest
where sunlight cannot come.
Many of tho poor wldtoa of San Fran
cisco come to buy their meats, poultry and
fish of tho Chinese butchers. Hero is an
other curious phnso of life. Tho Chinese
sell these necessaries cheaper than they
can 1)0 bought in tho city. So at night
Chinatown is thronged with poorly dressed
white people who are buying tomorrow's
lucal from the almond oyed folks.
fiuito Oriental.
The barber shops are never railing
sources of amusement. You stand Iiefore
them perfectly fascinated by the perform
ances going on therein. The sign is a four
logged frame, the legs painted green with
scarlet knobs on top. Inside, the barbers
aro industriously shaving with razors of
triangular shape, about two inches long, ail
inch wido at oue end, hollow ground and
weighing about two ounces. Other artists
are applying delicate instruments to the
cleansing of the eyelids. The refined proc
ess of swubhiug the ears ami pulling
hairs out of the nostrils is also in full
blast. The walls are decorated with false
cues. When a Chinaman is sent to prison,
his cue is shaved off. Of course this is a
terrible disgr.ico. When he comes out, t he
first thing to be done is to get a cue and
braid it in with the remains of his former
glory. This is the way police officers dis
cover jailbirds. In making an arrest they
grab at the cue. If it comes off, they know
they have a man with a post—a onto way
of discovery, in fact. It is a mark of groat
disrespect to wear the cue coiled in the
presence of superiors. The smartest cue I
saw iu Chinatown was on the head of one
of the most notorious highbinders in the
quarter. It was at the entrance to Ciun
Cook alley, or Murderers’ row, where more
murders are committed than in any other
street iu Chinatown. “Look behind you
quickly, ’ ’ whispered the detective. *' There
Is ono of the worst characters among the
highbinders.’’ I turned and looked at
him. He was a dandy, that ono—sleek,
trig, jaunty, with wicked, bold eyes, a
stare of insolent defiance and a don’t-givo
a-d—n air. Ho was exquisitely tidy in his
dress, and his pigtail almost touched the
ground. He nodded to Glenuon, eyed our
party contemptuously aud strutted by like
a pompous young peacock.
At the Theater.
The theater! Ah, there was the ftmi
The price of admission varies with the
time of entrance. Wo went in about 10
o’clock aud paid “four bits,’’ as they say
there, or 50 cents, apiece. Chinamen go
In early in the evening for 25 cents and
later for 10 cents. If the play stops one
minute before midnight, the audience can
demand and got its money hack. No
women are allowed on the floor of the
theater. They sit- in the lioxos, while vis
itors go upon the stage and sit with the
players. It is certainly a trial for one’s
i nerves and risibilities. There aro no cur
tains, no ilies, no wings. The musicians
sit at the back of the stage with their coats
off, keeping up a din with gougs, tomtoms,
fiddles and cymbals which is simply in
fernal. But fearful as it is, it is as nothing
to the yells of tho heavy villain or the
shrill squawks of the victimized lierutnc.
Tho actors paint their faces in the most
frightful fashion. An Apache out for gore
would not show such a variety of colors.
The whole performance is like a hideous
nightmare and funny beyond any expres
sion. Tho Chinamen, though, take it very
seriously, and the nulv ones who lauahnt]
were t ho ho who nudged each other to see
me laugh. Any one who likes walks tip
front the audience and wanders In and out
the dressing rooms at tho back of the
stage. Over the stuge is the josshouse of
the actors and back of this their living
rooms, for they never go out of the theater
If they can avoid it. Chinamen have the
roost utter .contempt for actors, and If
they catch them on the street will tear
their clothing.from them and beat thorn
until they are-black in the face. “Him
ki-tt. Him no good. Him actor man.
Him paint him face. Him dless up all
same woman,” Is the summary of their
'disdainful opinions of the mummor.
Apropos of which, Mr. Glcnoon told me
this amusing story of Irving: Among oth
er places tho great actor visited was a
pawnshop where ho bought a lot of beau
tiful Chinese curios, weapons and pipes.
While ho was buying he chatted with the
Chinese pawnbroker about actors and re
ceived his opinion of their worthlossness
with a quiet smile. As Irving went up
the steps of tho collar shop Glonnon turned
to tho pawnbroker and said: “Well, John,
you have put your foot In It this time.
That is the greatest English speaking actor
on earth.” John tore at his cue in horror
and wailed: “Him nctormnn? Mo bollevo
him minister man. Mo heap d—u foolee.”
Halts For the Unwary.
The opium joints! Notwithstanding the
stringent statutes against this evil, there
arc 3,000 “hop heads," or “opium fiends,”
In Pan Francisco today and In Chinatown
nearly 800 joints. This Is tho greatest evil
tliia fair oity has to deal with. A menace
anywhore, it Is hero a positive threat. One
of the most famous, or infamous, joints Is
that kept by “Blind Annie," who is one
of the ontohpenny fakos to delude the
dimes out of tourists’ pockets. “Blind

cies he is to behold a marvelous sight. The
joint is in a dingy collar reached by a foul
alloy. It is a room of about 130 square
feet. Thcro is not a bit of ventilation. On
a greasy, rotten lied sits tho little old hag
fondling her four or th e cats and a mangy,
wheezy dog. She is not so blind that she
cannot soe Detective Glonnon’s hand os ho
holds out a coin, which she eagerly clutches
and mumbles over. This joint is frequent
ed by whito girls who wish to hit the pipe.
There are plenty others, dozens of nasty
holes, with tiers of bunks waiting for the
victims of the “dope.” In one close, foul
room I stood and watched an old, old man,
who lookod to bo 100 at least, roll his pill
and heat It nt tho nut oil lamp. Around
tho room lny men and women in various
stages of drunkonness and dishabille. “It
was through that window,” whispered
Mr. Glennon, “that a woman sprang one
night when a raid was made on this joint.
I caught her, but could not drag her line It,
us she was very heavy. Another officer
wont around and took her down outside.”
Tho most notorious joint for whites is
All King’s on Jackson street. As we came
out of the stifling, disgusting room some
thing flitted through the gloom boforo us
like a ghost—something that turned its
face asido as if fearful of being seen—and
slunk into n dark corner near a doorway
and waited there for us to pass. Even in
tho shadow of this black courtyard one
could see that this coworing, shivering ob
ject was a wreck, a phantom, a terrible
thing I
There is yet another feature of China
town which is quite ns loathsome—the
traffic in Chinese women, which goes
steadily on in spite of laws against it.
These girls are at the bottom of tho many
terriblomurdorscommitted in Chinatown.
This is the way of it : Thoro is a Cliinose
vondettn, organized and curried on as sys
tematically as any in Italy. Say that a
highbinder, a nioniber of the Loo family,
lias a young protty slave who Is worth
from $1,000 to $2,500 a year to him; that
a member of the Wang family, realizing
her commercial value, abducts that girl.
The Leo family immediately sets forth nud
kills overy member of tho Wang fumily
caugiit out on general principles. If any
thing Is left of the tribe, it retorts on the
Leo family. Tho highbinders use 45 cal
iber Colts and carry them lying over their
arms. Many of tho fiercest are domestics
in service in San Francisco. There are
many instances of a Chinaman's commit
ting an atrocious murder in Chinatown
ami then calmly going to his employer's
house to cook breakfast. And a majority
of those murders are committed over some
handsomo young slave.
Honest Labor.
Chinamen raise nearly all the vegetables
grown in California. They are first class
markot gardeners. They are good shoe
makers, and many fashionable San Fran
cisco women have their shoes made in
j Chinatown. They aro splendid cooks and
aro very useful ns scullious and are often
j employed to do chum her work in hotels.

than any other servants known, and they
have some secret and mysterious way of

their rooms for the benefit of their succcs

can discover the warning. They are very

| Their profanity is something appalling.
Their oaths and curses are ingenious and
novel. They hope that, their enemies may
be chopped into mince meat, that they
