JACK TAR's GRoWL.
A story Illustrating the Sailors )
Habit of Grumbling.

n SIOTy 411WDCEAIlnS the SS1AAOE
Habit of Grumbling.
The author Of 'sFrom Edinburgh to
the Antarctic" writing of the sailors
habit of grumbling, says: "The dinners
are all the same-that is to say, Mon
days dinners are all alike, and what
we have today we shall have this day
six months hence. Jacks forefather
this day 100 years ago had the same
menu and made the same uncompli-
mentary remarks about the dishes, and
100 years hence on this day Jacks chill
dren will growl over their salt horse
and plumless duff" The author also
tells this yarn" to illustrate that
Jacks habit of grumbling can't be
cured and must be endured:
Once upon q time there lived skip
per whose wife said to him that If she
went to sea the poor men would never
find fault with their food. Her hus-
band took her with him on voyage,
and the good woman attended to the
cooking in the galley herself.
The scouse was thick with fresh veg.
etables, the bread was whste and with
out weevils, the meat was good, and
the duff was almost half plums, but
still the men growled.
Then the shippers wife thought of
the hens she had brought on board to
lay eggs for her husbands breakfast.
She took them out Of the coop, wrung
their necks with her own fair hands,
plucked them, roasted them and sent
them to the forecastle on the cabin
china.
"Now the men," she said to herself,
twill know how much we think of their
comfort
At eight bells she stole forward to
the forecastle to listen to the praise of
her skill as a cook. She looked down
the hatch and saw big black fist
plunge fork into the hen and heard a
hoarse voice growl, s'I say, Bill, what
dye think this ere bloody fowl died

A DRUNKEN ARAB
 KNOCKED IN THE HEAD
Charlie Fatuch Found by the Police in a Crazy Condition-Wounds Dress
 ed at Headquarters

Charlie Fatuch. an Arab, was found in Avenue D, near Twenty-second street, yes- terday beastly drunk, with a hole knocked in his head. He was taken to police head quarters and his wound was dressed, but he was so crazed from the mean liquor he had been drinking that he tore the band age from his head and insisted on the at tendants letting him die. His hands were finally tied behind him and the wound re- dressed, after which he was tied in a sell to keep him from doing himself bodily harm.
 His sister later came to the jail and made bond for him and carried him home.
 The party who struck him on the head could not be found, and Fatuch~was too drunk to know who did it.

ON THE LOOKOUT FOR SKATERS
Hamden constables ON Guard at Lake

Hamden Constables on Guard at Lake
Whitney Again Yesterday.
The Hamden town court despite ex-
pectations to the contrary, did no bust
ness yesterday and although it was
open to dispense justice to all corners
not a dollar was coaxed from the pocket
of any unwary New Haven skating
enthusiast. 1t was week ago yester-
day that the constabulary of the town.
not having been able to induce the Fair
Haven and Westville Railroad company
to give them Sunday work by hiring
them to police Lake Whitney while the
skating crowds were there, embarked
upon plan which they fondly imag-
ined would force the road to hasten to
secure their services. That plan, as al
ready known, was to stop Sunday skat-
!ng at the lake on the ground that 1t
was q viola ton of the statute concern
Ing Sunday observance and thereby les
sen the sundry trolley car traffic to the
lake.
1t was intended yesterday to further
carry out this plan and 1T was expected
that crowds would attempt to get upon
the ice despite the presence of Ham
denis finest. It was on tho programme
to make wholesale arrests in the event
of such an occurrence and SO early In
the day Justice futile and Prosecutor
Farrell opened the court room at the
town hail. Early in the morning about
thirty men from the western part of the
town called upon First Selectman War
ner and upon the prosecutor to be
sworn ii, as special constables. 1t was
a chance for official distinction and
days pay easily earned such as seldom
occurs in those rural precincts and all
We're anxious to distinguish themselves
and get the pay.
About dozen of the applicants We're
sworn in and with the three or four
regular constables they went on guard
around the shores of the lake. In the
morning the ice was fine for skating
and some daring young fellows from
New Haven went out resolved to run
the chances of arrest and get skate If
possible. They so manouvred that they
