The San Francisco call., 1898-04-03

crowds go criers declaiming in loud voices the jobs they have to offer and calling upon those about them 10 accept the same and go to work.
 Now l want five men to go to Marin County, shouts one of these labor auc- tioneers. Easy work, blowing between vines. Here you get buttermilk, sweet milk, butter on your bread; blankets at night; fine climate: healthful work. Sent off five this morning. want five more to go on the boat tonight: who's going? Now, boys, wake up, and go to work. Here I want cook for a coun- try hotel; wash his own dishes; twelve regular boarders and forty at dinner; must be an all-around cook-no restau- rant cook. Soup, roast meats and pas try. Who'll take that job?"
 No one in the crowd responds. They saunter about reading the glaring signs calling for men to cut fifteen thousand redwood ties at cents each, woodchop- pers at s1 25 per cord and other pla- cards of the stock sort-apparently. for no one seems ever to accept the offers, and they hang there and become dis cclored
 Beneath these sensationally drawn advertisements are seated upon benches an unbeautiful row of wall flowers, smoking dirty pipes and look ing demure. Occasionally a word of denunciatory comment escapes them.
 "Here!" says the crier buttonholing one of the most passe of these, Why don't you take this job? What can you do? Can you milk a COW? Fifteen dollars and found to milk cows ten cows, twelve cows, maybe fifteen cows: who wants this job? Can't do that? Thirty cents a day and grub to carry a sign through the streets for a restaurant; city job: who'll take that ? I want dishwasher: fifteen a month and found. Ain't there a man in the crowd who can wash dishes?" Still no one responds; only smoking and si- Nnce and scuffling of feet.
 Then the crier looks straight ahead as though staring into space, becomes red in the face and shouts:
 Whats the matter with you fel- lers? Don't you want work? Amt you

It will not be all coal-passing for Jack Kelso. It will be -four hours on and eight off" with him and plenty of drill and other service, and in action he would have his station and duty when of watch" below decks or at the guns.
 The little Sunol left for Mare Island at p. m., and twenty men were marched from the rendezvous to board her, some within an hour after passing examination. At the wharf a middle aged little woman had moments chance to give Jack Kelso a fearful hug. Eighteen hours later Jack was trigged out In his uniform on the re- ceiving ship at the navy yard and lined up with an awkward squad in front of the drill sergeant.

The humning of telegraph wires Is satisfactorily explained It is not caused by wind, for it is heard during perfect calms. It has been conjectured that changes of temperature. which tighten or loosen the wires, probably produce the sound.

CONTEMPORARY OPINION
DEMoRAMzING OUR ARMY

ArA@@ANANaAAaA O1AN 4AINaNll.
The personal rivalries that exist IN
the navy are thought to constitute a
bit Of a cloud on the glory which that
branch Of our public service has won
for itself, and yet 1t may be said that
personal jealousy OF the reputation
won by one or another ~ largely the
outcome and result OF our naval victor
les II these had not been won, II is
not at all probable that the respective
friends OF Admiral Sampson and Com
modore Schley would be airing the
grievances OF one or the other OF these
two officers, and up to the time these
were won little was said concerning
the fact that both Admiral Sampson
and Commodore Schley had been given
commands which displaced the official
precedence OF other men higher than
they in the naval service. These two
Officers were selected for their merits
and the results won by one, the other
OF both, in active naval operations
seem to fully justify the selection
made. We say that little would have
been heard Of this official jealousy Il
great successes had not been won, fol
the reason that the navy has beer

except for cause, with the regular or
der OF seniority, while in the army no
only has the rule OF seniority beer
