The upper cabins were Ukewlse crowded. Thé Bouthfeld is the smallest of the old boats and was pressed into service during the rush hours to-day becauss the larger Garrett and Castleton were crippled. No effort was made by the. mafiagement of the line to sécure addl- tonal bo: to take the of the crippled hulks, and the pas 5 were bundléd aboard the old Southfield until he fairly careened under her tremon- dous load.

In Arrested, Nelis Olsen, a carpenter, of No, 8 Amity street, Brooklyn, bet his brother James, also a carpenter, $5, that a mar- quise ring owned by Mrs. Nellis was worth more than a diamond ring owned by James. ‘To add zecst to the wager {sce how things -look uptown They Work Night and Day, but the Great Cotton Plunger Boards and Lodges Them at His Own Expense. ..., In addition to conducting the bull! campaign that has run cotton up from 9 to 16 cents a pound, Daniel J. Sully has been running a boarding house. Unlike the boarding-house keeper who flourishes in the side streets, Mr. Sully has not been in the business for profit. His venture, has been # dead loss to him in money, but it has amounted to a whole lot in the work of his office. On the twenty-third floor of the bulld- ing at No. 43 Exchange place Mr. Sully has converted some of his offices into sleeping-rooms, & diming-room and a kitchen for his clerks, A Japanese chet acts also as waiter, dishwasher, pur- chasing agent and valet for ‘the men who eat and sleep in the airy Hotel de Sully. Work Day and Night. The operations of Mr, Sully have been so tremendous that ft takes his clerks all night to begin to catch up on the work of the day, Often they are sev- eral days behind in detail work. To work the men in regular shifts is tm- practicable and to hire more clerks would mean complications. ‘The Sully staff, pald extra for extra work and fed free of expense, has 10 objection to offer to the plan of housing them in the big office building. Some | of them have not been home save on! short visits for two months, Whenever they can spare a little time they walk eround Battery Park and along the water front for exercise.
