Inkstand<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      I saw John Mullaly the other day passin\u2019 down Broadway, faultlessly dressed as usual, looking as if he had come out of a bandbox. I remember on one occasion how Mullaly had his shirt front completely spoiled by a woman, and yet through no fault of his own\u2013a victim to a mistake. That eccentric woman, Lola Montez, features in the story, which is a rather interestin\u2019 one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Lola had, as usual, got herself into trouble. She was always in in hot water, and had, this time, gone to law about the matter. The papers had been laid before a referee, and Lola had gone to the referee’s office about the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      That queer duck of a chap, Wemyss Jobson, was somehow or other mixed up in the affair, and altogether there was quite a tempest in a teapot about it. Seeley, a lawyer, was also concerned in the case, partly representin\u2019 Lola’s interests in the matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Well, Lola, Jobson and Seeley were all gathered together in the referee\u2019s office, and John Mullaly happened to be in the referee\u2019s office at the time, although he had nothin\u2019 whatever to do with this particular case in any manner, shape or form. During the course of the interview at the referee\u2019s office, Lola got very much excited, gesticulated violently and talked loud, woman-like. Jobson also got a little more \u201cunhinged\u201d than usual, and the referee had all he could do to keep \u2018em quiet. At last, Seeley, the lawyer, got into the fuss and was pretty nearly as mad as the other two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Lola Montez<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Pretty soon Seeley said somethin\u2019 that Jobson thought was meant as an insult to him. Jobson, at this, completely lost his temper, and went for Seeley with a big cane he was carryin\u2019. If Jobson had been able to carry out his original intention of hittin\u2019 Seeley on the head with this cane, the farce would have turned into a tragedy, and there would have been a dead lawyer. But Seeley caught the cane before it descended on him, turned it aside, and kicked at Jobson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Of course there was a scene of confusion, and of course Lola was bound to take part in it. She, of course, took the part of her lawyer, Seeley, and seein\u2019 him fightin\u2019 with Jobson, came to his rescue with the only thing that was handy for her\u2013a big inkstand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Seizin\u2019 the inkstand, full of ink, she hurled it, with all her force, at Jobson’s head. If it had hit Jobson on the head it would have done as much harm to him probably as Jobson’s cane would have done Seeley. But just as Jobson\u2019s cane missed Seeley, so Lola’s inkstand missed Jobson altogether, and whizzin\u2019 past him hit poor John Mullaly right on his brand-new shirt front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The shock of the inkstand nearly floored Mullaly, and the ink in it completely soaked into and spoiled his shirt-front. He was mad enough to have pitched in and licked all three, especially Lola\u2013which he could have done, I guess, as he is pretty \u201csolid\u201d–but bein\u2019 always a gentleman, he restrained himself, cleaned up as quick as possible, and went home and put on a fresh shirt. The referee was as mad almost as Mullaly was, but he had a better chance to get even with the three fighters than Mullaly had. He reprimanded Lola very severely, and made her apologize. Then he had Seeley and Jobson both punished with two days\u2019 imprisonment for contempt of court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Jobson swore it was all Seeley\u2019s fault, and Seeley swore it was all Jobson’s fault. So to make a sure thing of it, and to show no partiality, the referee punished \u2018em both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Seeley had quite a nice two days of it in jail. Lola called to see him every day, and brought him flowers, which he didn’t much care for, and a bottle of wine, to which he took more kindly. But poor Jobson was very lonely, and had no visitors, no flowers, no wine, no cards, nothin\u2019 at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Lola Montez was a most eccentric and peculiar woman. But there was another adventuress and actress who used to flourish around New York, who was just as peculiar and much more attractive. I mean Adah Isaacs Menken, who was once called \u201cEverybody’s Wife.\u201d She herself didn’t object to the title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Menken, when in New York, knew almost every actor, and rounder, and sport, and newspaper man in town. Among others she used to be quite intimate with James Connor, an actor, who had somethin\u2019 to do with the old Melodeon. This place was formally kept by Frank Rivers, who made a good deal of money out of it, and spent it all. It was first the old Chinese Assembly Rooms, and wound up by bein\u2019 Tony Pastor\u2019s Theatre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      At this time Menken only claimed havin\u2019 had three husbands, Dr. Menken and Kneass, (the author of the music of Thos. Dunn’s English popular song, \u201cBen Bolt,\u201d) bein\u2019 two of \u2018em. She was a little \u201cunder a cloud\u201d at the time, and lived in a little room way up in the sky parlor of a buildin\u2019 corner of Spring street and Broadway. Here she was visited day and night by lots of Bohemians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 She was the jolliest kind of a good-hearted woman, and was a splendid talker, not only in respect to quantity of words\u2013all women are splendid that way\u2013but in respect to quality. She put more soul into an average hundred words than most women put into a thousand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Adah Isaacs Menken<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      One time there was a young married man who got completely \u201cmashed\u201d on Menken, just like dozens of others, married and single, bachelors and widowers. Menken, for a wonder, didn’t encourage him, but the man kept on with his mash, nevertheless; like a good many other men, he encouraged himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      One afternoon the young married man called on Menken in her room on Spring street, and while he was there a young lady called to see if she couldn’t engage a room on the upper floor of the buildin\u2019 for herself for a few days. The janitress of the buildin\u2019 said she had just the very room to suit her, and let the young lady upstairs to look at it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      But, instead of lookin\u2019 at the room shown her, the young lady listened to some voices talkin\u2019 in an adjoinin\u2019 room, and, before the janitress could interfere, the young lady had opened the door of that adjoinin\u2019 room and there discovered her husband with his arm around Menken’s waist, who was smokin\u2019 a cigarette and listening to the usual quantity of mush and gush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      It only took about half a minute for the young wife to grab about a handful of Menken’s hair, and it only took about half a minute more for Menken to retaliate in kind. Each woman tugged with all her might at the other woman’s head; and if they had only, as most women have, lots of false hair, each would have got all that the other had to spare. But Menken had fine hair of her own\u2013so had the young wife\u2013and all they could do was to tug at each other\u2019s wool with all their souls and spite in their fingers, while the young married man did what he could to part \u2018em, which was just nothin\u2019 at all, and the janitress rushed downstairs dazed, yellin\u2019 out such cheerful and quietin\u2019 words as\u201d \u201cMurder! Fire! Police!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      These words soon got a crowd together, and a policeman rushed to the buildin\u2019. The janitress led him upstairs, where by this time the young husband, who was the cause of all this row, had locked the room door so as to keep out any outsiders, while he vainly tried to restore peace inside. But he might as well have tried to stop a case of the jim-jams with soothing syrup, for the more he begged his wife to \u201ckeep cool,\u201d \u201cbe calm,\u201d \u201clisten to reason,\u201d \u201cbe sensible,\u201d and all that, with which most husbands are totally familiar, the more she would tug at Menken’s hair and the more Menken would tug back at hers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In the midst of this tug-tuggin\u2019 the policeman rapped at the door, but the woman kept on tuggin\u2019 and the man kept tryin\u2019 to quiet \u2018em. Then the policeman burst the door open and took the whole party to the Fourteenth Ward station house, where old John Williamson was captain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Even after bein\u2019 arrested the two women didn’t stop fightin\u2019. Going downstairs the wife got a chance at Menken’s back hair, and availed herself of it, and Menken, whose mad was now up, nearly scratched the other woman’s eyes out on the stairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      By the time the party had got to the station house, however, they had got a little cool down, and both women bein\u2019 quite good-lookin\u2019 and Menken being very well known, the matter was made up, after a fashion, only the young married man never got any more chance to call on strange ladies in the afternoons. His wife always called at the office about four o\u2019clock and took him home with her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      With all her little faults and big follies, Menken was a real clever and generous woman. In some points she was the most brilliant woman that has ever flashed through New York, and there is this one thing that can be said about Menken, all the big men she met took a fancy to her. Bulwer, Dickens, Dumas and men of that stamp made the world of her. It was only the New York Bohemian that borrowed her money and then abused her in the papers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Editor’s notes: John Mullaly (1835-1915) was a newspaperman, who began his career with Horace Greeley’s New York Tribune<\/em>, then moved on to the New York Evening Post<\/em> and New York Herald<\/em>. An Irish Catholic, Mullaly was against the Union Army Draft during the Civil War, instigating New York’s Draft Riots (for racist reasons). A Tammany Hall Democrat, Mullaly was responsible for developing a park system for the Bronx after much of the borough was annexed by New York City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

David Wemyss-Jobson was definitely a “queer duck.” He was a historian, dentist and physician of dubious credentials who traveled frequently. Upon arrival in a locale, Wemyss-Jobson usual sought out the highest authorities, either with a complaint demanding remedy; or an offer to volunteer his talents. He died in 1876, with a characteristic note from the Buffalo Weekly Courier<\/em>:]<\/p>\n\n\n\n
