With a stiff northerly wind bowling at
the rate of S6 miles an hour, Captain
Schrader, of the Harrison, decided to
wait over till today before starting the
steamer out for the Nehalsm. He didn't
seem to care about taking the chances
Of being blown up to Bering Sea ana
getting arrested as a seal poacher. AS he
expressed 1t briefly yesterday morning,
I'm in a good place here, and, what's
more, know It," Discretion is the bet
ter part Of shipwreck.

The San Francisco Chronicle says: mot
in months have the wharves along the
water front worn such a deserted ap-
pearance as at present. The front is par.
ticularly bare Of vessels, either loading
or discharging. This is said to be due
in a large degree to the declaring off of
the coast seamen's strike, and the large
shipments of wheat. There are now but
four deep-sea vessels in port which are
dlsengaged, and the prospects are that
they will be chartered within the next
two or three days. The coasting business
is not at its best, however, and many or
the smaller craft are accepting charters
to carry sugar from the Hawaiian Is,
lands. The trouble with them is that
lumber is cheap, and the market is well
supplied, and the same may be said or
coal, which is always easy at this time
Of year. The reaction will set In, accord
ing to Chief Wharfnger Boobar, early in
October. He predicts that the harbor
will be overrun with ships at that time,
and the rush Is apt to continue all win
ter. Business men say that the departure
of the ships, all chartered, indlcite a
general revival Of business, in view Of the
fact that, but few months ago, tine
stream was crowded with vessels which
could not get charters"

Bark Enoch Talbot, Captain Johnson,
arrived in Tacoma on Tuesday night, q
days from San Jose de Guatemala, in
ballast to load lumber at the st. Paul and
Tacoma Min. For the past seven months
she has been having an exciting time.
On the voyage south to Central America

Of Mexico and was obliged 10 jettison part
Of her cargo. Good seamanship on the
part Of her officers brought her into port.

A PICKPOCKET IN LOVE.
Curious story from One of the Chicago
Police Courts.

An aged picIlpocket in love is SO I'M
common a speetacle il The police courts
as toattract some notice. Chicago, the
city of curiositles, had such a case
lately. A veteran pocketbook snatchel
of sixty-two summers was sentenced
In one OF the police courts of that town
to three months of durance vile.
The old fellow was in love; fact
that may account for his not seeming
TO have possessed the usual cunning of
of his kind For had he been little
less absorbed in the contem plation of
the charms of his darling pet"-as he
styled his lnamorata-he would GER
tainly not have disclosed quite as much
as he did. This disclosure was CON
tanned in a letter to his lady-love,
which was found upon his person when
searched at the police station After
lauding her beauty and stating how
hard he was working to obtain some
thing that would make her look pref
tier than ever" he said that the reason
that he was in Chicago was that he had
"a hot tumble" in indianapolis.
There are more depots here than in
indianapolis, he went on to say, "and
one of little means has better chance
here. In my whole life have never
seen so many women carrying their
pocketbooks in their hands. They
don't seem to like to trust them In
satchels, anyhow. Love TO Polly, Lilly,
Lou and Mollie, and am ever yours
affectionately."

said that 1T is very good idea for a
woman to have work that identifies
her thoroughly with her husbands

the case of lovers-when one of them is
