With the advent of winter's chilly clasp the difficulty df obtaining work in Wellington apparently increases.' Yesterday a man called at the Evening | Post office and told a pitiful story of his vain search during the pa,st two weeks for employment m the city. Recently, he statedj he noticed an advertisement in the Post requiring the services of a man for two or three days. He promptly applied for the position, only to be informed that he was tho twenty-ninth who had called. Soon afterwards he saw another advertisement for a man to do odd jobs. Within ten minutes of the papei' being published he arrived at the address given, but found six others before him. Oil another occasion he formed one of a long procession of unsuccessful applicants for tho position of a custodian. These are only a few of the difficulties related. When asked if he had been to the Labour Department, the man said he hadj but his age — he is well advanced in years — prevented his "going on tho land," though he was willing to tackle any other Work that would bring him in a shilling oi' two. He is still watching the papex's and wearing out boot leather in pursuit of "something to keep body and soul together." A charge of theft of £1117 10s t belonging to Louis Seifert, flaxmiller, Oroua, near Palmerston North, a young man named Thomas Edward Lamb was this morning brought before Dr. A. M'Arthur, S.M., and remanded to appear at Palmerston North on the 19th inst. It is alleged that accused, a clerk in the employ of the informant, filled ill and cashed a cheque, which Mr. Seifert had signed. When arrested abutit £100 of the money was found in his possession. A young man named Joseph Cooper Bradley was convicted of theft of an overcoat, valued at 39s 6d, from a shop belonging to Thoa. Page, and was ordered to come up for sentence when called upon. A lad was sentenced to two months' imprisonment for having stolen £3 Is 3d in money, and a bag, valued at £3 6s. belonging to Henry Robertshaw, of Kilbirnie. Hia Worship said no imposed this sentence for the purpose of getting the defendant in nn industrial Bchool. This was a process he had to go through) because the boy was over 16 years of age. For insobriety, Mary Wakeham and one first offender were convicted and discharged, and another Was finod 10s. Mr. John M'Goldrick, who returned yesterday from a tour round tho world, relates an amusing incident during the Welsh-Irish international football contest. He states : "Possibly I was the only New Zealunder on the ground. The Welsh learn were accompanied by 1500 bhrruckcfs, and during the match chanted some very fine tunes. The Irish, however, contrary to expeclationa, upset all calculations by playing a very brilliant game, and although at tho finish they were minus two men injured, never left the result in doubt. The green supporters were beyond themselves with excitement, and after a great forward rush Erin's supporters cheered wildly, When the noise subsubsided the Welsh contingent of 1500 arose, and as if spoken through a monster phonograph, cried out, 'Who beat the New zWianders ?' The thousands of jubilant Irishmen, equal to the occasion, responded with a terrific yell, 'The referee.' Taffy was silenced."
