22 THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, JANUARY 29, 1898—24 PAGES. ALL IN A DAY'S WORK Some Funny Thingsa Messenger Boy Runs Against. HIS MANY AND VARIED DUTIES Sometimes Acts as Nurse Girl to Babies and to Dogs. A PRETTY HUSKY LOT ———— ARE Written for The Evening Star. HE ALERT-EYED, deft-handed young man “on the desk” at the district mes- senger office was not particularly busy. That is to say, he was not doing more than five or six things at once. Me- chanically, without any apparent thought or effort, he did the right thing in the way of touching but- tons attached to a lot of whirring, whizzing, rirging electrical appliances on the wall beside him. H> signed receipts with the uncoascious air of an Eden Musee auto- maton playing chess. Out of thirty or forty rubber stamps in a rack, he picked out the right one infallibly, and as infalli- bly returned it to its correct position after using it. He jammed bits of paper into the pneumatic tube without apparently coking at them between times, and his ear was at the speaking tube leading some- where above three or four times a minute. He did all of these things while waiting upon people at the desk who wanted mes- Senge When there was no one at the desk demanding a messenger, his perform- ence of all the litile jcbs mentioned was as nothing in difficulty compared to his job of keeping the messengers themselves in_orde The S$ were ranged on seats in the back reocm—as many of them as there was recom for. The others were trying the!r acroba‘ic ability in various way: Standing on their hands, throwing handsprings, practicing the exacting art of the contor- Uon‘st, and so en—in the middle of the floor. The spirit of emulation was among them. They were all gabbling—chiefly bike talk—until, every minute or so: “Hey, there; you kids,” the young man at the desk would yell out at them, “Just cut that rag-chewin’ out right now, you hear? And you kids spiclin’ around the ficor there, sit down; this ain't no gym. Who's the next ridin’ boy? Sudds? Sudes, scoot up to Q street with this box—candy, I some jay’s sending a girl. Here’ that goes with it. Lookee here, when are you goin’ to wash them hands? Go an’ sh "em now, before I give you this note. D'ye want to have people think we're runnin’ a coal mine down here? And git a Move on, too. There's an answer. If the not in, leave the box an’ bring the note back. Jay's afraid the girl's mother or semebody'll get it if she’s out, I guess. An’ look here, kid, this is a fifteen-minute ren, you hear? None o’ that trailing after minstrel bands, like you did on your last trip out, or I'll get next to you for fair. Git out, now.” Demure for a Minute. After each adjuration from the young ™man at the desk, the boys in the back room would sit in comparative boy demure- ness for as much as a minute, or even two, putting in the time at these dismal inter- vals telling each other of the wonderful tricks t knew how to perform on their bikes. Then there would be a resumption gymnastic exercises until another call- cewn came from the front room. Every few minutes a boy would come in, remove the clamps from his trouser’s legs, and look disgusted. * in it, Tinky?” the other boys sk him in chorus. from Tinky. “Lady up on th’ ed me to hunt up her husban’—I before, lots o’ times. I knowed dene it where he was—seen him this mornin’ with his reg’lar skzte on—an’ went an’ dug him Chucked him into a cab an’ fired him »g home—told him his whole fambly was n’ an’ needed him. He was too jugged t' cough vp a nick’ even. I'm gettin’ tired ©" these here jags. Nothin’ in ‘em.” ‘There hain't, hey?” spoke up Wheels, a ened-faced boy. “That's where you're mixed an’ off your sack. They're dead easy h you git "em right—Klondikers. But ve got t’ git ‘em right—just so soggy an’ give-uppey, an’ no more. I soaked one of ‘em yistiddy fur two plunks—didn’ have t’ soak him very hard at that. Jes’ gal- lored him aroun’ sore, an’ t'rew the con that I'd take care o’ him an’ see that he didn’t git into no trouble or mix-ups with th’ cops, an’ that I’d git him home all right wren he wanted t' go. He jes’ digs into his pants an’ hauls cut his wad an’ peels me of a two-spot, an’ says, ‘You're all right, Petey; take this.’ Dead easy; jes’ like up. findin’ it. Guy fell asleep, after awhile, an‘ then all I had t’ do was t’ load him into a hack an’ take him t’ his ho-tel. Nothin’ in drunks? Aw, you’re "way off your trolley!" What Tripes Had te Do. “Tripes, you the next kid?” from the very competent young man at the desk. “Come here. Ye see this note here in my hand, don’t ye? Look at it hard. Well, this here note is to go, an’ to go in a big rush at that, t’ No. 0026 19th street. An’ ye see th’ name on it, don’t ye? Read it. That's right. Now, this here note’s to be delivered only t’ th’ lady that’s got that name. Guy says she’s young, an’ has got yaller curly hair. W’en th’ servant comes tt’ the door, tell her ye want t’ see this lady. If the servant chucks ye any con about takin’ the note to th’ lady herself, ye needn't giv’ her the merry hoot like a fresh kid, but jes’ hang on t’ it. You know how t’ do that—I've done it a lot o' times myself when I was a kid. Tell th’ servant that ye want t’ see th’ lady herself. Then if a frizzled up old matdcy lookin’ lady comes t’ th’ top o” the stairs an’ says she'll take th’ note, ye needn't say, ‘Not on your tintype, you won’t!!’ but jes’ say, no, you had your instructions t’ give th’ note t’ th’ lady herself. By this time p’haps th’ lady’ll — up. If she don’t, bring th’ note back. A commotion in the back room announces the arrival, or rather the return, of a “walking boy’’—that is, a boy unprovided with-a bike. “Where ye been, Top?” the other Boys inquire of him. “Aw, runnin’ aroun’ with a pug poodle,” says Top. “An’ if there's anythin’ in this job that gives me a pain worse’n this poodle-hustlin’ game, I don’t remember it jes’ now. I'm a-goin’ t’ tell th’ boss that if he don’t make some o* you other kids take a whack at airin’ them dogs, I'll quit. Makes me feel like one o’ these here Willie boys t’ be lopin’ up an’ down Con- nett’cut avenoo with a couple o’ measley little yaps o” spaniels with hair all over their eyes an’ pink ribbons aroun’ their necks for a hour or so every mornin’. Everybody passin’ by rubberneckin’ after a feller an’ makin’ him fee! like he was a little girl about two feet high. Don’t mind takin’ out them big St. Bernard up on 15th streety fur that’s a sporty kind of a game, but them poodies—aw, they giv’ me th’ ear-ache.” “They do, hey?’ from the young man at the desk, sticking his head in at the door. “Well, Top, ye can just take a little cai ter up now t’ No. 7245 K street an’ take out that pair o’ long Dutch dogs you like so much. Lady's just rung fur a dog-boy. Git out, now, quick.” Top assumes a look of utter dejection, and departs for K street to air the dachs- hunds. Mickey's Easy Money. ‘Say,” says Mickey, another walking boy, who returns just at this time, “you fellers ain’t in it. I jest found a dollar—or jes’ like findin’ it. Took up one o’ these here big flower pads, with ‘Rest’ spelt in th’ center of it, t’ a house w’ere there was a fvneral. I don’t like that kind of a job— makes me feel like a stiff myself, with ev- erybody on th’ street-a-lookin’ an’ wonderin’ were th’ thing’s bein’ taken. Never got a nick out of a job like that before, either. This time, though, I takes it up t’ th’ front door an’ a young feller that didn’ look very weepy comes t’ th’ door. He takes th’ thing an’ digs up a dollar on th’ spot. I ast a servant comin’ in th’ gate as I went out who was dead. She says a ole lady. Guess it was th’ young feller’s wife's mother, hey?” The very competent young man at the desk—competent because he has graduated from messenger-boyhood himself—mean- time continued performing the multifold duties of his job with his head and both hands. A man with a good deal of fire in his eye eomes in the door. “Say,” says he to the young man at the desk, “what kind of an outfit is this any- how? Three hours age I rang for a mes- senger at my office and sent the boy on an errand that demanded an immediate reply, and he has not turned up—” “Finnegan,” calls out the desk young man to the back room, ‘“‘was there any re- ply to this gentleman’s message?” Finnegan appears at the door in a sec- ond. “Yessir,” replies Finnegan. “First th’ gent that took th’ message says, ‘Go back an’ tell him t’ go t’ the devil,’ an’ then be thinks a minute, and says, ‘No, ye needn” go back at all—don’t go near him; there’s bo reply; I'll pay him when I git good an‘ ready,’ an’ so I follers orders, sir, an’ did not go back.’ The man with fire In his eye romps out with some remark about “suing him if I have to take it to the Supreme Court of the United States,” and Finnegan returns to the back den to resume the narration of his prowess on the bike. Ripper as a Nurse Girl. “Oh, but I've been havin’ a bully nice time all mornin’, I don’t think,” says Rip- Per, a walking boy, appearing amid the squirming throng of boys in the rear room. “What you beer. doin’?” is the general | = . ““Wheelin’ a baby carriage,” replies Rip- per, and Ripper gets what is known on the Pave as the laugh. “Dead funny, ain't it?” inquires the walk- ing boy. glancing around with a look of great depression. “Reg'lar ha-ha game, ain't it? Had t’ wheel th’ carriage fur a solid four hours, first in th’ yard, up an’ down, an’ then w’en th’ lady went out had t’ folly her aroun’ with th’ carriage an’ th’ kid fur ten cr fifteen miles, while she made calls. She says her nurse's mother got sick somewheres an’ th’ nurse had t’ that’s th’ reason she had t’ git a messen- ger. Kid yellin’ iike th’ dickens, too, half th "time, an’ all th’ kids on th’ street givin’ me th’ hoot.” Aman with a jag and a gigantic bunch of Amer‘can Beauty roses comes in the door. The young man at the desk drops the telephone receiver to attend to him. “Shay,” says the man with the jag and the roses, “‘want these shent up right off. Florish says d’livery wagons all out and can’t shend ‘em up for two hours. Mush may right off. How mush?” en he goes out the young man he desk calls Kinks. re et “Kinks,” says he, “if th’ young lady that ye takes these flowers to asts ye where th’ guy was that's sendin’ ’em you jes’ tell her that he was down at th’ flori: shop, an’ if she’s next t’ him an’ asts you if he was all right, all you've got to do is t’ say, ‘Sure he was! Don’t ever give a jay away t’ his girl when he’s got a jag on. Go ahead with th’ flowers.” “Lovers Are a Queer Bunch.” A riding boy comes in and removes his trouser clamps, with a considerable degree of airiness, and grins around amiably. Th> other boys observe these signs, and inter- rogat> him. — “I got a pocket full o’ quarters, that’s all,” says the riding boy. ‘Jes’ been ridin’ back an’ forth between two houses on’y go, an’ ale eee ae et a er medder still when he reads it, an’ s2nds another, givin’ me a quarter. Both of ‘em got madder every trip I made, an’ th’ last note I took to th’ man he was clawin’ the air and chewin’ on his mustash. These peo- ple that get theirselves in love are a queer bunch. But there’s coin in ’em, all right, all right.” ~ The information that a district messen- ger boy picks up is liable to come in handy for him when he grows up. It gives him an eye to the main chance, and diplomacy. If it doas not also make him mercenary, he has been a queerly constituted district mes- senger boy. ——— THE NEW NAVIES. What is Being Spent for Big Powerfal Warships. From the Chicago Record. In reply to an inquiry from Centralia, Wis., I would say that the battle ship Iowa cost in round numbers $4,500,000. She is not the largest battle ship in the world, but. is ranked as the most powerful fight- ing machine now afloat. Considering her tonnage, speed, armor and guns; she ought to be able to whip any vessel in any navy at the present time. There are other ships with bigger guns and greater tonnage, but they are not so easily handled and cannot make htr speed. The biggest battle ship in the world is the Lepanto of the Italian navy—15,400 tons and cost $6,000,000. The Iowa is 11,410 tons. The Illinois, which is now under construc- tion, will be a little larger—11,525 tons, and will cost about the same money. The United States now ranks fifth among the naval powers of the earth, and is a tie with Germany. England is first, France second, Russia third and Italy fourth. The German navy is better supplied with tor- pedo boats than that of the United States, but we are a little ahead on battle ships and cruisers. Taking one consideration with another, however, there is very little difference. When the Kentucky, Kear- sarge, Illinois and the other vessels now building are afloat we shall surpass Ger- many, but the Germans, however, have a magnificent scheme for the development of their navy, and the recent episodes in China were planned for the purpose of stimulating the interest of their parliament and the people. If the emperor’s program is carried out Germany will spend $200,000,- 000 in naval construction during the next nine or ten years, an average of about $20,- 000,000 a year for battie ships, cruisers, coast-defense monitors and other fighting materials, and will run way ahead of us and take the second place. In 1906 the German navy will be increased to seven- teen battle ships of the first class, eight coast-defense vessels, nine first-class cruis- ers and twenty-six second-class cruisers. The battle ships will be the most formid- able in the world, and are to cost $5,000,000 each, the cruisers $3,000,000 each and the small cruisers $1,000,000 each. The appro- priation by the German parliament for the year amounts to $9,000,000, and will be spent in the construction of three first-class battle ships, one first-class armored cruiser, five second-class protected cruisers, two gunboats, eight torpedo boats and one tor- pedo boat destroyer. During the present year Russia will spend 500,000 for her naval establishment. She has now uner construction nine battle ships, two coast-defense vessels, two ar- mored cruisers, four protected cruisers, four gunboats and forty torpedo boats. Great Britain, however, as usual, is out- doing all the nations in naval construction, and during the present year will spend $26,500,000. She has now under con- struction 117 vessels, and several of them will be completed before next January— viz., fifteen battle ships, twelve first-class cruisers, nine second-class cruisers, ten third-class cruisers, six twin-screw gun- boats, fifty-six torpedo boat destroyers, eight light draft gunboats and one royal yacht. Great Britain has today in this catalogue of ships under construction a fleet as fine as that of the United States, Italy, Germany or any other nation, ex- cept France and Russia. We have now fifty-four fighting vessels in good condition, and twenty-two more in course of construction, including five bat- tle ships. At the close of the century we shall have nine of the best fighting ships in the world. There is nothing better in the British or the Russian navy at present, although the other nations, stated, have plans for an increase in their naval es- tablishments that will greatly surpass ours. The Japanese now rank seventh for naval strength among the nations of the earth, and when the vessels Japan now has under construction are completed she will go up to the fourth place, above Italy and the United States. She is devoting nearly all the indemnity paid her by China for the late war to the improvement of her naval and military establishments. She has now under construction in England three battle ships of 14,800 tons displacement, equal to the largest and most powerful in the world; one battle ship of 10,000 tons, four armored cruisers of 9,600 tons (two in England, one in Germany and one in France), and four protected cruisers, like that launched late- ly, of 4,760 tons (two in the United States and two at Armstrong's yard in England); one protected cruiser of 2,800 tons and one of 1,800 tons are being built at the govern- ment yard at Yokosuka, Japan; thirteen torpedo boats of 90 tons each in France and England, and nine torpedo boat de- stroyers of 300 tons each in Germany and England. The United States battle ship Alabama is being built in the slip adjoining that from which the Kasagi was launched late- ly, and will be ready for launching some time in the coming summer. It is a curious coincidence that the Alabama is No. 200 upon the Cramps’ books, which is the num- ber that the famous privateer Alabama bore upon the records of the confederate navy. ee Towns Which Have Disappeared. Frog Tit-Bits. The North sea is slowly but surely ab- scrbing the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk. The Cromer cf Caesar’s day now lies two miles out at sea under many fathoms of water, and the tides are stealthily creeping toward its successor, and already wash the place where the brick wall of a light- house stood not long ago. It is difficult to realize that the village of Dunwich, in Suffolk, wes at one time a rcyal town. the seat of King Sigebert’s government; and that as late as the four- teenth century it wes a populous and pros- perous town, and maintained a fleet of war versels. A stealthy enemy was even then at its gates, end gradually the port was blocked with sand; houses crumbled into the sea by hundreds, and stately mon- asteries and churches were enguiphed. To- day, Dunwich has shrunk to a tiny village with a population of little over 200 souls. ee An Active Banker at Ninety-One. From a Chicago Paper. Truman H. Handy of Cleveland, Ohio, who is probably the oldest banker in the United States who is actively engaged in business, celebrated his ninety-first birth- day Monday at the ‘home of his daughter, Mrs. Newberry, in Detroit, Mich., whither he journeyed a day or two ago. Mr. Handy, who still retains good health and who is physically and mentally alert, has been en- gaged in the banking business here since 1832, beirg at present a director of the Mercantile National Bank. A_loan of $2,500 by Mr. Handy to John D. Rockefel- ler, it is said, enabled the latter to gain his start in business, : seo Vegetarians and Meat Eaters. From Tit-Bits, A careful examination of the hearts of the vegetarian and the meat eater show that the number of beais to the former are fifty-eight to the minute and of the latter seventy-two. In twenty-four hours this means a differance of 20,000 beats. From this it is concluded that in the sum- mer time the vegetarian has the advan- tage, for he can keep cooler and in better health under tha reduced number of heart- beats. But in a cold climate, or in our own winters, the heat generated by such slow heart-beats would hardly be sufficient to make life strong and resisting enough. The tru3 verdict that one must reach is that the vegetarian is better off in the summer and the meat-eater stronger in the winter. —————-cee- AUCTION SALES OF REAL ESTATE, &c, Monday. Walter B.
