"New Orleans.--Amprlca's oldest saloon-- the Old Absinthe house in the French quarter of New Orleans--again is operating as It did for 120 years before the era of tVolstead. writes a cor respondent on the Kansas City Star But the ancient plioe of refreshment now Is only a shadow of Its former self, for the famous bar and the more than a century old fixtures all have been removed a block down Bourbon street, whqre they still hre bein? used, to dispense beverajjes In a 1">0 ye^r-ohl building which displays proudly the sign, "Old, Absinthe House Bjjr.K. But despite the fact thnt it now ha« been transformed Into a night Club with a jazz .band and dance floor, the Old Absinthe house still retains sufficient historical Importance to lure all visitors to the Crescent City. The Old Absinthe house Is something more than merely America's oldest saloon. The ancient building, In the heart of the V'ieux Carre, form? - a page bn which is written one of tile most vivid and colorful Chapters of America's history. Ben.eath Its anclen'. roof of slate and sheets of lead, wlth'n those walls of thin and narrow brick, brought to New Orleans In the holds'of sailing ships and laid sn^ faced with stucco, behind the heavy doors of great planks hinged and braced with iroQ hammered out by slaves nearly two cen turies ago, scenes have been enacted that have no counterpart in the page* of American history. Famous Patrons. At the- tables and at the <bar, "Aii- ^ drew Jackson drank. The Marquis dt* Lafayette, Jean J>afitte and his brother. Pierre, and Dominlck You, the pirate leaders, who fought under Jackson at the Battle of New Orleans, all knew the pleasure of Its hospltabbpotions. There the bulky William Howard Taft leaned against the bar and watched the absinthe turn from green to milky white before the bev : crage was banned from sale, and there, hour after hour, sipping his drink, stood O. Henry, then a New Orleans newspaper reporter known t.v hls employers and his fellow employees mere as Sidney Porter. There Lafcadio Hearn was wont to gather with a few of his cronies and spin his tales. And It was there that Missouri's illustrious son,-Mark Twain, met with, his Mississippi river friends In the lays ere lie became famous as Amer ica's foremost humorist. At the bar Alexis, Grand Duke or Russia, quaffed l\is deep drink before hastening to steal a glimpse of New Orleans' famous quadroon ball; Jenny Lind peeped In on her way to sing at the-old French Opera house; Thackeray visited the place for his aperitif when the noted British novelist was visiting America. And there drank Aron Burr, who came down the river on a barge rowed by slaves, his head filled with dreams of a new empire of the West. And the idol of the New Orleans Creoles, Gen. Pierre Gustave Tputant Beauregard, was a regular patron for his Creole appetizer. Reeks With History. The place reeks with history, nearly a century and a half of It. It was there that Jean Lafitte sipped his absinthe the night before he was cap tured by the forces of Governor Claiborne In 1913 and lodged for safekeeping in the prison of the old Ca!- bildo. Brought to trial In New Orleans for piracy, he employed the best legal talent available and managed to beat the case. But upon returning to his headquarters at Grand Terra he again set up his piratical establishment and the American governor was forced to put a price on his head. Soon after he fought a battle with a British man of-war on his own account, putting up such a ferocious flgbt that the BriUsb sought to enlist him in their own - service, offering him Immunity from any punishment for his former deeds as a pirate In addition to ao award of $30,000 in gold. 1'rom 182(5 until 1027--a year over a century--the Old Absinthe house bar' was conducted by members of the same family.
