What is press agent?' One man laved
his lips and suggested: The press agent
is the manipulation of the calcium OF pub

ground that the man who nanipuiates the
calcium is kept in the dark and no press
agent would submit to that humility. ''Ac-

to itself, and unequalled in true merit.
No other medicine ever possessed so

Given a Bad Name.

The only American steel-built ship
in the world-the Dirigo-is getting
into ill-repute. She left here for Ho-
nolulu to load sugar, and on arriving
at that port the crew deserted. They
say-that is, those who have reached
San Francisco-thatt they were not
half fed and had to do double work.
Two of them got away on the British
ship Holliswood and two arrived yes
terday on the bark Martha Davis
They made themselves a bed among
the sugar in the hold of the bark,
and although the captain Of the Dirigo
and the Honolulu Chief of Police
searched for them their hiding place
could not be found. When the Martha
Davis was outside the reef the men
came back on deck, and sooner than
put back to land them Captain Soule
brought them to San Francisco. They
say that all hands attempted to de-
sert on account of ill-treatment, but
that all were arrested except four.
