women are supplanting men to a
considerable degree as amanuenses, as
they work about as well and for less
pay, although there are, of course,
many firms and individuals that prefer
men," said a shorthand writer the
other day. Official, court and most
newspaper shorthand work is still al
most monopolized by men. As rule
shorthand writers are above the aver
age in intelligence, and are trust
worthy. The essential qualifications
of successful stenographers are unusual
powers OF concentration, a thorough
education and keen sense of honor as
well as a discreet tongue, since they
necessarily know much of the private
affairs and many secrets of their en-
ployers. The young lady amanuensis

pendence that is one Of the distinguish
ing characteristics of the American
girl is especially prominent in the
young lady Stenographer as she sits
hammering at her typewriter, proudly
conscious that she is earning her own
living" rs she puts it.
The pay Of amanuenses ranges from
a few dollars to $50 or more q week.
The latter salary is, however, excep-
tional. Fifteen dollars a week is con-
sidered fair pay for the average aman-
uensis. Men as rule get more than
women. Twenty-Five dollars week is
quite common salary in New York,
when employers have stenographers
sufficiently competent to need no at
tention after dictation. Each court in
New York has an official stenographer,
who Is paid $4,000 a year, which
amount he usually doubles by making
special reports and transcripts for in
terested parties. Mr.. james e. Mum
son, Of the Superior Court, earns about
$1,000 per annum from his court work,
transcriptions and the sale Of his books.
Mr.. Munson, by the way, takes life
very easy. He scarcely ever makes his
own transcripts but has competent
corps Of assistants, who can read his
notes readily. Thus he reported the
Beecher trial alone for New York
paper.
Outside of official positions law re-
porting is the most lucrative branch Of
the shorthand profession, and there is
more Of this sort of work done than is
commonly supposed. The "high-
toned' lawyers frequently desire spec,
ial reports Of cases made out for them,
selves, and will give big pay for fine
work. Some law reporters in New
work make as high as $1,000 and
$1,000 year, and few of them are
women, too. These are the persons
who work for themselves. The de.
luded victims who are employed by the
"stenographic bureau, y at stated sal
aries to doe whatever business the bu-
reau has on hand, do as hard work as
their more independent brother, but
the bureau reaps the profits Of their
labor. These bureaus are, Of course, a
great convenience to the public, since
one has but to inform the manager Of
one Of them what case or what work
he wants done and at the stated hour
neatly printed typewriter copy is
placed in his hands. But they are de-
cidedly rough on their employees, who
are underpaid and overworked. IN z.

which was renewed as the thin and

Bridget was led weeping from the
room, much to the amusement of all
the spectators.
Amerigo Arrano, a jolly-faced
''dago," was next hauled up to take
his dose of justice. Amerigo laughed
heartily, as the officer who arrested
charged him with beating a small Ital-

not have been sold at half their orig

amused at this comical affair.
"How did It happenP" queried his
Honor, with an encouraging smile.
Amerigo replied: "Ze boy-a he would

There was a roar Of merriment from
