RATS OF THE WATER FRONT.
Little Aristocrats Watch for Coco;,

man.
Not a rare picture at the rendezvous
Of the "white rats Of the water 'front.'"
under the rocky brow Of Telegraph
Hill, overlooking the foot Of Sansome
street, is that Of a lot Of poorly clad
youngsters busily engaged in pouring
| into their outlets the rich milk of the
cocoanut. AS they pat their stonachs
in acknowledgment of the fresh re-
ceipt, it occurs to the observer that
milk and honey never received more
cordial welcome to the insides Of
thirsty new arrivals in promised land
than this milk Of the cocoanut receives
as it flows into these eager mouths.
Down around the portion OF the water
front indicated life and it's luxuries are
enjoyed. The white rats are not
content with fresh boiled crabs, clam
soup and the varieties Of domestic
fruits and vegetables that commonly
! form a part Of the bill Of fare. Like
Mob Hill aristocrats, they banker after
imported articles.
Whenever vessel arrives here from
Tahiti or some other Of the islands of
the South Seas, with cargo Of cocoa
nuts, the "rats' prepare for a picnic.
Not that the consignees Of the cocoa
nuts are reckless in their 1iberality.
They are not in the habit Of distribut-
ing nuts gratis around the water front
When a cargo of 10000 to $4,000 cocoa
nuts arrives, and is piled on the wharf
awaiting the wagons Of the commits
sion merchants, special officer
usually watches the mountain Of nuts
with an eagle eye. His task is not an
easy one.
The waterfront urchins know just
about when to expect the South Sea
vessels, and they gather in force to
raid the cocoanut piles, if such thing
be possible. The youngsters so about
the business systema tically, fully ap-
preciating the fact that an officer is on
the alert for their kind Of people, and
they calculate the chances of the
Waterman when they make haul.
When there are q couple of piles Of
cocoanuts on the wharf, as sometimes
happens. few Of the urcbills attract
the attention of the guard by rather
noisily making their way to one of the
hills of nuts. They invariably succeed
in getting themselves chased off.
These urthins, let it be understood, are
as spry as cats, fleet as greyhounds,
shreWd as foxes. The clatter Of the
feet of the guard as he pursues for a
short distance the fleeing Arabs is the
signal for another division Of the gang,
which has been lying under cover, to
spring to the nut piles from an oppo-
site direction. The guard turns back
to charge upon the new enemy, which
Las already, in tWinkling, grabbed
up as many cocoanuts as it can man
age to flee with, and is in hasty retreat.

ANSWERED THE CALL.
Col. Albert III. Yancey Passed Away
Yesterday.


AS foretold in the G. o b e yesterday
morning, Col. Albert II. Yancay, for
some years travelling passenger agent
of the Burlington road, answered the
dread summons at an early hour yes
terday.
He has been confined to his home
232 Carroll street, for some weeks, and
the complication of maladies from
which he has been suffering terminated
in his death, as stated. Beside his wife,
his physician, DR.. Charles w. Meade,
and John w. Owens, a warm personal
friend were at his deathbed. He is
survived by his wife alone, there being
no children. Col. Yancy was forty-five
years of age, and has been in the
railroad business for a long term Of
years, formerly with the Wabash and
Wisconsin Central, and since 1887 with
the Burlington.
He held the name of being perhaps
the best all-round travelling passen-
ger man in this territory, and had
hosts of friends, won by his genial,
sunny disposition. Through his long
residence and attractive attributes, he
was considered a most valuable man
by the road he was connected with.
He was an Elk, and also a member of
the A. o. u. W., of this city. The
funeral will be held tomorrow after
noon from the church of the Good
Shepherd, Twelfth and Cedar, at 2:30,
under the auspices of the societies of
which deceased was a member. Some
of his late confederates in business will
also attend in a body.
