on board vessel that was in the harbor
and asked the captain if he could find him
work on the ship.
Well" said the captain, at the same
time handing the Irishman piece of rope,
'if you can find three ends to that rope
you shall have some work"
The Irishman then got hold OF one end
OF the rope, and, showing 1t to the captain,
said:
That's one end, your Honor
Then he took hold of the other end and.
showing it to the captain as before, said
"And that's two ends, your Honor"
Then taking hold of both ends of the
rope he threw it overheard, saying:
And, faith, there's an end to the rope,
your Honor"
He was engaged. Spare Moments.

a Common Drunk.
SollY Smith and Other Friends Will
Send Him Home to New York
Tomorrow.

Johnnie Griffin. the feather.weight
pugilist, was srrested Friday night ana
booked at the City Prison as a common
drunk.
Twice within week he had been treated
at the Receiving Hospital for de eiirium
tremens and released, but his insatia Bile
thirst for drink forced the police TO charge
him with common drunk, so that q
few months seclusion in the County Jail
would straichten him out.
CIR fins friends heard of the charge
against him and SolIv Smith and others
made up purse of $100 10 send him home
10 New York TO his parents
They went before Judge Campbell yes
terday morning and promised il the
charge of common drunk was dismissed
that they would send him to New York
tomorrow morning.
DR.. We'll of the Receiving Hospital hal
agreed o keep Griffin there ill TO- morrow
morning and on the understanding that
he would remain there till his departure
for New York the Judge dismiss ed the
case and Griffin was sent to t e hospital

Vessels are just as scarce in Australia
as they are in San Francisco, and a bark
now ready for sea was offered 16s Sd to
bring coal from Newcastle here. This in
spite of the fact tnat the bark has to go to
Cape Town, thence to South America and
from there to Australia, so that il would
be at least five months before she would
be available.
Some months ago vessels in Australia
were glad 10 accept as low as IS to carry
coal here, and few weeks ago, when a. P.

vessels, they thought they were doing
