MeCann and Mat McDonough also did yeo-
mans service 10 pulling out several young
sters who incurred an unexpected baptism.
Flshermen's wharf was crowded with
amateur anglers, who, with line and plenty
Of hope, endeavored TO beguile the crafty
rockcod which are said to lurk in the
neigh borho0d. Several ladies tried their
luck, and some fair strings OF small flsh

boys from committing Involuntary suicide.
IL is just a week since the little Italian boy,
the only son of the b0otblack having stand
on the corner Of Market and Eighth streets,
fell in here and was drowned while fishing.
Yesterday II was expected that the D0dy
would be recovered, a week having elapsed
since it sunk, but nothing was seen OF II.
The presumption is that the boy. while un-
der water, claSped spasmodlcally one OF the
many piles about. and that his clasp stitfen-
ing the body is held under water.
A WATERFRONT ARTIST.
The water front was cODvulsed yesterday
over an artistic problem. ID. ). Cartwright
is teamster, having a stand on the corner
of Mission and Main streets. Recently he
determined, as business was good, to give
his stand a coat of paint. A little before
he took a trip TO Piedmont and noticed a
building there which took his fancy. 1t
was painted a beautiful Nile green. orna-
mented with red, and Cartwright fixed on
the same colors for his stand. Ii was done.
The colOrs. as nearly as possible, were or
dered, and Mr Cartwright did the work
with some pride. Unfortunately the re-
suit did not please every one. 1t was whs-
pered that Mr.. Cartwright had secret ESQ
teric meaning in The green and red. The
body Of the building was not a Nile green,
but a striking emerald, while the raised por-
tOns OF the woodwork were rosy with a
British red. Could Mr.. Cartwright mean
10 place the red above the green? Anyhow,
on Saturday night some person or persons
unknown went to the stand with some yell
low paint, and over the green traced l0ngi-
tudinal lines of yellow, giving a lurid
orange effect. This put new political com-
pleXIon on the stand. which to-day is the
most striking object on Main street. Cart
wright was very angry when he found out
the work OF the modest artist, and offered
SO reward and expenses for his discovery.
Later. however, he allowed himself to be
persuaded that only q joke was intended.
Still he cOntemplates changing the fore
ground of the present TuTneresque tugue in
color to deer, dark, uncompromising and
unmistakable blue.
The race announced to take place yester-
day between the married and single men,
bers OF the Pioneer Rowing Club did not
come of owing to the failure of some Of
those expected to put 10 an appearance.
However, an informal meeting was held in

Coast Rowing Association, consisting of the

A CHINESE sMUGGLER
a many-cOated Chinaman was yesterday
arr ested by the CustOm-house officials on
charge of evasion of the duties on silk
goods. 1t seems that there are number Of
Cinnamon who, by long custom. have be-
come privileged creatures about the wharyes

yesterday one Lee Chee made constantly re-
curing trips to and from tie steamer
Oceanic, which arrived a few days ago at
the Pacific Steanshi Company's wharf. F.

on watch, and noticed that every time Chez
came ashore he looked buikier aud, as the
wind dallied with the skirts Of his dark-blue
blouse different colored sub blouses were
revealed. Chez was shadowed all day and
tracked to Chinese washhouse on Brannan
street, near the wharf, and finally on his
last trip was arrested. AT the time of his
arrest six fine SILK paletots were found on
him, and at the washhOuse 16 extra-tuished
hand-emOrOidered silk garments. Else
