Fined for Striking an Old Man.

The price OF lodging in the New York Lods-
ing House depends upon tho quality Of the bed
and the number of dodgers in the room. One
rule of the establishment requires the dodgers
to rise early, and Sunday morning is not an ex-
ception. 1t was the enforcement Of this rule
that caused trouble in the house Sunday
morning which resulted in the arrest OF Michael
Garvey, the proprietors son, and q painful
wound on the head of Arthur Sherry, one of
the dodgers.
he should be permitted TO sleep late Sunday
morning. but the proprietor called him early,
as he did the other dodgers.
Carney claimed that sherry abused his father
and he (Garyey) struck the old man Cd the
head.
Judge Miller heard the case yesterday and
fined the boy SO.

Young Americans Searching Employment
Warned Against Australia

Young Americans Searching Employracn,
l. Warned Against Australia
A prominent American citizen, resident of
Melbourne, Australia, writing to this country
says: I feel it to be a duty owe to ali Young
and adventurous Americans to give them q
word OF warning against an immigration to
this continent at the present time in search of
remunerative occupation. I earnestly advise
them not to undertake the journey unless to
fulfill an engagement made beforehand. or they
be prepared financially TO remain for a consid-
cradle time without employment, and my
judgment after years observation is that even
then they will be better OF TO remain at home
Australia has undoubtedly enormous re-
sources, which are as yet undeveloped. and from
the peculiarities of the conditions surrounding
them and the present situxtion here they must
remain 50 for long time to come
The facilities which have been evolved and
htted to the conditions existing in other part
OF the world are not such as can be Success
fully used here. Nature has on this continent
given man an entirely new set Of problems to
solve. and until these have been worked out,
until the application is made to fit the cir
cumstance," utilization Of all this country is
possessed Of will be slow.
Tho cities, and the country districts % we'll,
arc but now emerging from the frenzy OF an
unparalleled land BOOM" and as this was fol-
lowed last year by the disastrous maritime
strike trade Of every description is stagnant
The unemployed are clamorous for work in
every section. Particularly is this true Of
salesmen. bookkeepers, agents, teachers, en-
gine drivers and other railway employees, tele-
graph operators. &C.. and an advertisement for
one Of these is quickly answered by hundred
applicants for each position offered. This is
largely owing to what il known here as the
"Jackaros system young men who are sent
out from England to learn the business and
who pay from SO to 200 pounds sterling for
their places. do not think there il any pref
udice against citizens of the United States. but
other things being equal the British subject
naturally has the preference. Quite q number
OF energetic Americans now here have indus
triously sought employment without success
and the charity of the few Americans resident
here alone prevents absolute suffering for food
But this charity has been stretched to the ut
most, and, As have been informed, there are
others who are preparing to come, / am in
duced to write this word of warning.

Mrs. Henry NJ. Stanley for doing so. The
woman knew of dear little morsel of femi-

lawyer and went to housekeeping in love Of a
cottage with Hibernian cook. The little
woman in her young bridehood could not mus
ter sufficient dignity OF speech to call her hege
lord Mr.. Jones, even 10 the cook, but affection
a;ely designated him Harry" And one day
when there was company Bridget came to the
and will yez he waitin' for Harry, maamg'
Somehow the story got out at the club, and
Mr. Jones never quite torgaye his spouse,
though thereafter she punctiliously called him
MIR. Jones" until he came to be '.iddge."
