wet weather, or when he hears the pumps
going, this is almost his constant rendez-
VOus.
Three or four times day. after each haul

decks and they are fairly inundated. Mozzo
Rata don't wait for the appearance Of the
water The sound OF the pumps is enough
for him. He knows what is coming and i'm
mediately seeks shelter in the pilOt-h use.
AnG until the beating and throbbing Of the
pumps are stopped there's no use trying to
coax that dog from his perch behind the
wheel.
as already intimated Mozzo Rata is very
Important parsonage on board the FarTagut,
ana 1t Is hard TO guess Just how they could
possibly do without him.
When the little craft steams out Of her
berth at Fisherman's wharf at 3 o clock in
the morning it is MoZzo Rata's es special
duty to be on deck and bark good-by to
those who remain behind. Once the Far
ragut is fairly under way Mozzo takes few
turns around, peers into the engfue-room TO
see that the engineer is doing his full duty :;
Into the fo'castle To see that the men are
sleeping sOundly, then into the pilot-house
TO say good-morning TO Captain Finally.
When satisfied that all is sound and tight
he makes his way to his lofty and perilous
perch in the engine-rOom and curls himself
up Tor three hours nap.
MoZz0 never oversleeps himself. He
knows that at 6 O'Clock. as the vessel rounds
Double Point, the whistle must be blown to
wake up the men.
Now John, the pilot, is a pretty steady
fellow, generally punctual and always con-
sclentlouS IN his work. but Nj oZZO Rata
can't trust him entirely.

this all-lmrortant little animal rouses him.

mist to the pilot-house. At tie doorway he
stands and barks till John blows the whistle
for ell hands on deck.
Just what would happen should Mozzo
oversleep himself some morning is not quite
certain, bu. you can see from his business
like air that MoZzo Ratt is thoroughly con-
vinced that the whistle would never be
blown unless he was On hand to enforce the
rule.
But sometimes the whistle fails to waken

his perch over the engine. If not, then
down goes Mozzo to each bunk that contains
sleeping form, He does not bark and
wake them rudely, but goes to each sleeper
In turn and licks his face till he begins to
rub his eyes and yawn.
There's no chance to sleep overtime when
MoZZo Rata is on board.
Taken all in all MoZZo Rata is most ex.
eeptlonal dog. His coneeit, to be sure, is
something remarkable; but he is the most

FATAL DISAPPOINTMENT.
A Failure i'm Inventions Caused
q StevedOre's Suicide.
The Lifeless Body of Hans p Tothammer
Found Han ging in the Basement Of His
Home on Perry Street.

While suffering from mental alteration,
caused by failure to secure patents on
certain hoisting appliances, Hans 7. Tot
hammer, a stevedore. hanged himself yes
terday morning in the basement of his home
at l48 Perry street. He had been out of
work for some time aud drank heavily.
His family knew that lie was very despOnG-
ent and acted strangely at times. They did
not suspect, however, that his dependency
would take a fatal turn.
Tothammer arose yesterday morning an
hour before his wife and grown-up children.
Then he entered the basement and quickly
prepared for death. He removed his coat,
looped the end of a clothes line around his
neck and tied the other end to a beam.
Then he jumped from box upon which he
had been standing.
at 1880 o'clock his daughter Waba en-
tered the basement in search of him. When
she discovered the lifeless body of her
father she shrieked In terror. Her cries
attracted the attention of other members
of the family and the body was cut down.
A physician was summoned and upon ar
rival said that life had been extinct some
time.
Information of the suicide was telephoned
to the Coroner and the body was removed
to the m0Tgue.
The deceased was So years old and
native of Norway. When his room was
searched in the afternoon Deputy Coroner
BridgewOod found some sheets of paper,
upon which the following was penned in a
rambling hand
This Is my last. After struggling for many
yeaIs came 10 an end. have worked hard aud
i nave Invented thre inventions. They don't
pay anything, therefore IL has upset my mind and
they have accused and backmaiIed me all they
can. Be ind 10 my poor wife and children.
Treat them as kindly as before. Ii isn't their
fault, the cause OF my trouble. Too much study.
IL has weakened my mind, aud seeing no return
therefor l took 10 drinking. which upset my
mind. Yetmore, people of San Francisco help
my dear, poor family all you can and don't push
them from you. but tighten their trouble. They
all have need thereof. Comfort them and help
them along i can't do any more good here ana
they look at me with contempt, after / have
done so mnch good for them. They have made
lots OF moLey out OF me and my Inventions
They put II IN their own pockets. They tell me
they are good things, that is all. Good-by, dear
wife and girls and boys. My good wishes 10
everybody. II. Z. ToTHAMMER.
1t is believed that Tothammer brooded
over the failure OF his inventions until his
mind became unbalanced. His relatives
were unable to explain the meaning of his
peculiar letter, not knowing that any one
had ever attempted TO defraud or blackmail
him. An inquest will be held TODAY

THE BULLETS CAUGHT UP.
Little Mishap That Marked n soldie
for Life.

A Little Mishap That Marked a Soldier
for Life.
a group of old cavalrymen were gathered
in the smoking room at their post head
quarters one stormy day engaged in nnrrat-
ing marvelous tales of the speed and endur-
ance of the horses they had owned or
handled during the famous struggle, says
the Boston Herald. when Gile, whose fame
as n good story-teller is not strengthened by
reputation for veracity. spoke up, saying:
you remember that big chestnut l rode
when attached to Sheridan's headquarters
in GAP" A smile passed around the circle,
and the major, with a wink, replied: "No,
what was he. Gile?"
What WAS lie? Why, he was the fastest
horse in Sheridan's cavalry. He had but
one fault-he wasn't sure-foOted; and that
was what cost me these scars L carry to re-
mind me Of the hottest race l ever took part
ill.,"
His hearers remembered the many ways
in which Gile had told that those sears were
received. and knew a good story was
coming.

twas but short time before they had me
engaged in carrying important dispatches
through the enemy's lines. The surround
and Mosbys men were especially active ia
capturing our detached piekets and scouts.

"But ole morning as l was ridingleisurely

me. They fred till their ammunition was ex-

In THE COMMONS.
People Who Are Allowed the Privileges
OF the Lobby.


The lobby of the House of Commons to-
day is very different place TO what it was,
say 10 years since. or even less than that.
At the present time the inner lobby, or
members lobby as it is sometimes called In
order TO distinguish il from the Central
Hall, is reserved for members Of the two
Houses OF Parliament and ex-members of
the Commons. In addition to these are
certain number OF persons who may per-
haps be called without offense professional
politicians They include the chief or
ganizers and wire-pullers of the various
political parties. journalists representing
the chief London and provincial papers and
the press agencies, a few Parliamentary
agents and others interested IN the promo
uon oil private bills and the private secre-
tarles OF Ministers and ex- Ministers of tile
CrowD, though not those of private men,
bers oil Parliament The names of these
selected lew are placed upon the l0bby-list,
which the sergeant-at-arms controls, and
which he can and does revise from time to
time as may be thought fit. Before the
scare, or as some prefer TO call il. the
alleged scare. that followed the dynamite
outrages at Westminster and elsewhere in
the last decade, the entree 10 the members
lobby Of the House of Commons was by
no means special or an exceptional
privilege.

A CLEVER YANKEE.
How He Managed to Get the Better Of
His Brother.

Chicago Herald.
JEFF Bryant and his brother Abe each
owned large tracts OF land near Boston, and
they were bachelors.
One day the brothers agreed that the one
that married first should have the others
land In addition to his own. One Sunday
about nine years ago Abe called at Jeff's
house.
"Good-morning. jeff"
"How dye do. my boy" answered JEFF.
"Jeff. you remember that marriage agree
ment we made?" asked Abe.
"Well. L reckon do." said JEFF. "What
about t?"
Pm going to be married Wednesday.
Are you ready to keep the agreement"
Sure as you're alive" answered JEFF.
81 hain't got no use for a man as will go
back on his word"
swell, you're right, JEFF, and you shall be
my best man."
So the compact was sealed, but jeff did
not intend 10 give up his 100 acres so easily.
He had just fooled Abe. Instead of waiting
for Abe to get married on Wednesday jeff
hitched up and called OH a neighb0r's s
daughter and proposed that very Sunday
night. He was accepted and they were mar
ried Monday.
Then he went to Abe, saying:
ABE, that little agreement Of ours, you
rememb ber--"
Yes; well?"
'You see, / was married this morning
and want to know if you allow to keep your
promise?"
well, this is q little suddint like, but
reckon it's all right. I'll keep my word"
Aud he did. Abe transferred his property
To JEFF. On Wednesday Abe was married
as per contract and went to live on rented
tract of land.
Singularly enough. the brothers have been
good friends all these years.
