There recently came to town Peter D. Xeptaras, Greek, commissioned by friends In Oakland to aud work here, and to enquire for Ben Considlne, when he should arrive Ben did uot know th, young man that one night knocked at the door of his shack on the water front but greeted his eouutrymsn hos pltably, when the latter said he was broke, Ben gave him five dollars to go to the United States hotel and make himself comfortable while they should communicate with the section boss of the road at Bennett who, the Oakland man said, would provide the job.
 That was nearly a month ago, and nothing bas been heard from Bennett COusldine, none too well provided with goods or coin himself, has yet kept the stranger fed and housed besides wiring to bis friends st Oakland who, the stranger assured him, would respond if called upon. But neither has any answer come from below ss the days have gone on,
 Last night Considine was sitting In Rapuzzi's store when he saw Xentaras go by and soon went over to tbe Ishack expecting to find him there. Instead there was ro.e written in excellent Greek addressed to COnsidine in terms of marked affection and bidding him the lOpg farewell, declaring that DO more would he be troubled with Xeutaras as be would

 ConsIdine, on reading the letter of farewell, was overcome with emotion. He sought for his friend at all the bauuts he has, in these idle days, most frequented, but be was not to be found. Be went to bed, but only to weep over his loss-fOr Considine Is very ten der-hearted. All night he lay awake, feeling the agony of his friend as he went down into the cold waters of the bay to find relief from hIs troubles, and declaring that he had himself been re- miss iu not rendering money enough to carry the unfortunate man back to Cal itornis,
 This morning he resumed bis search, and stlll without avall-for the reason, only, that he did not seek in the right place. For, after writing the pathetic letter of farewell, Xentaras went to the United States hotel again, aud there was provided with lodging and 8 little money by the kind-hearted proprie- tress. It was not until noon today, and the suicide story had spread over the town, that the weeping ConsIdine found his partner, and, instead of expressing rage, ss might have been expected, went to weeping again for joy.

TRIALS OF A PRESS AGENT

In order to supply all this matter,
there devolves upon the press agent
one of the most difficult duties in the
whole theatrical profession - that Of
inducing the star players to sit for
their photographs. For, delighted as
actors and actresses are to have their
pictures printed, there is nothing they
hate more than devoting half Of a
bright sunny afternoon to sitting for
them in costume in a photograph
gallery. Nor is this to be wondered
at when we consider the trouble that
it involves and the agreeable and pro-
itable manner in which the time
might be spent in walking up and
down Broadway or driving on the
Avenue. Sometimes it is necessary
to bring the photographer to the
theater after rehearsal and hold the
actresses almost by main force until
their pictures are taken. The press
agent must also be ever on the alert
to pick up and elaborate items Of
news connected with his attractions,
and, failing these. to invent items that
look like news, and to prepare them
in an attractive form for the Sunday
paper. He must also make sugges-
tiOns to reporters, put them in the
way Of securing interviews and other
readable matter, entertain visiting
journalists from all parts Of the coun-
try-and not one Of these while in
New York fails to call on every press
agent whose matter it has been his
good fortune to run" during the
ycar-write advertisements, keep the
quarrcls between manager and star
and all other tidings suggestive Of
disaster out Of the papers, and to cast
a rosy glow over everything that
bears the managerial stamp Of his en-
ployer In addition to all this, he
frequently edits and writes a press
sheet containing thousand words of
CHEEKY, readable matter relating to
his shows.-Success Magazine.

THE BRAVEST MAN

James Crcelman, the well-known
war correspondent, who is on record
over his own signature as having pro-
yoked the war between the United
States and Spain, gives this descrip-
ton Of the bravest man he ever saw:
1T was during the siege Of Port
Arthur, says Mr. Creelman on the
the edge Of one OF the parapets, his
ieet hanging over the edge, sat a man
making sketch Of the scene. From
the Japanese ships in the offing there
came a continuous stream Of scream
ing, death-delivering shells. But the
man sketched on unmoved. Mauser
bullets, with their peculiar snakclike
bliss, flew over and beside him. In
al this noise and imminent death the
man continued his work, completely
absorbed in it.
Finally there came from within
the fortifcation a Russian officer Of
gigantic size. He stood long beside
the man who was drawing and watch
cd the pencil carefully filling in the
graphic lines. The shells from the
ships when they struck the masonry
stirred up cloud of mortar dust, and
as they exploded threw chunks of
broken stone in every direction. The
ofhcer's uniform was covered with
The mortar dust, and his fatigue cap

HINDUS GO TO HONOLULU.
Declare They Are Unable to Obtain
Work at Vancouver,

VANCOUVER, B. c., May 28.-
Declaring that they are unable to
Sbtain work in Vancouver, dozens of
Hindus are applying at Canadian Pa
eihc ticket Offices for information as
40 the rates OF passage to Honolulu.
1t is believed that the few Hindus
who have strayed from Vancouver to
the islands have found labor condi-
tions there more to their liking than
IN British Columbia and have sent
back word to their complaining COM
patriots urging them to go to Homo
lulu. In all probability fairly large
uumber Of Hindus will leave for that
point on the next Canadian-Austral-
ian liner.
II all the tales told by the Hindus
to the railway officials are true they
are not being encouraged to remain
IN Canada by offers OF employment.
One man who said he had been in
the country three years, declared yes
terday that he had been able to Sc
cure but two months work during
that time, and that he had during the
kst nine months been employed only
80 days. Presumably he lived by
begging as do scores OF other Hindus
row in Vancouver. Begging appears
to be the chief occupation OF many OF
these men and householders declare
that they have become intolerablc
nuisances,
