were not as many as at present. There were
no telegraphers, no stenographers, no type
writers, nor were there 80 many railroads as
now. At that time there We're no gold, silver

New YORK, Nov. Are the professions
overcrowdedf
Thisquestion and the cognate one, involving
the prospects of the professional classes, have
long been mooted ones. With the rapid in
crease in the number of professional schools,
and the steadily growing annual output OF
professional hedglings, they are daily becom-
ing more vital.
lust now the discussion has once more been
stirred up by the publication in The London
Spectator of a series Of editorial utterances
on the subject. These articles have been
widely reprinted in Anglican papers, and,
Of course, have given birth TO no end OF
American editorial philosophy.
Thousands of farmers and hard working
artisans throughout the land are ecnnomZng
in a hundeed ways 10 save money enough to
prepare their sons TO fill professional positions
Thousands of young men themselves are
studying and toiling and submitting to all
rorts of privations to tit themselves for pro
fessional careers. To these men, old and
Young, the question, "Are the professions
overcrowdedf' is no less vital than to the
professional men themselves, and the testl
mony OF professionaI men vi sIahuihs anu On
oerience as to the facts in the case must be OF
general interest.
Accordingly | have visited number OF
the leading lawyers in New York, Nestors
Of the profession in America, and to
them have put the bold question: "ls
your profession overcrowdedP and asked
them for their opinions ms to the promise of
the law for young men. Their answers are
given below in their own words, as carefully
revised by the respective speakers and au-
thorized for publication. There is not one OF
the contributors to this article but has been
at the bar for quarter Of a century, and
the names and careers Of all Of them are
familiar to the professional world.

Indoor ball is an innovation of re-
cent date and threatens to become as
great craze as roller skating demon
strated itself to be few years ago.
The game is played in large hall, or
defunct roller rink. A large felt ball,
four and a half inches in diameter,
and small clubs are used, the rules
governing the game being somewhat
varied from ordinary base ball.
When the game was first announced,
several Of the Ottawa base ball men
conferred with Captain Blanchard,
who at once agreed to give the use of
the rink to two clubs, one to be organ
lied as regular Ottawa club, and
and one to be made up of mem
bers of Company ID. A regular club,
was formed composed of Arthur Hook,
NJ. j. Farrell, Joe Megaffin, Jr., Ar
thur Evans, w. Hull, Fred Hathaway
Will Rising, Phil. SchOch and Edward

the members Of Co. ID. has not yet
been announced. The games will open
as soon as the balls and bats, which
have been ordered, arrive.

A meeting OF base ball enthusiast
will be held at Galesburg on Monday,
Dec. ., and during the present week
an effort will be made to send a dele
gate from Ottawa to represent base
ball interests here. The object of the
meeting is TO form state league, with
a membership eight clubs.
Ottawa, now IA city of fifteen thOuS-
and people, can readily support Il
league team, if the proper influences
are brought TO bear in its organization
and management. Ball players. who
can play ball, are not to be had for
less than from fifty to sixty dollars
per month, and "A club, with two re-
serves, would be an expense To an as
ISOLATION OF not less than eight hun
drcd dollars per month. Against this
could be counted three games per
week in Ottawa from which, say sixty
per cent. would be drawn, and forty
per cent. during the remaining three
days when the club was engaged in
other towns. Probably the percentage
might be fixed at fifty per cent. for
both home and visiting clubs.
IL is proposed that an association be
organized in Ottawa, with capital
stock of one thousand-or more-dol-
lars, and that the Driving Park be
used as IA base ball grounds. This
could easily be accomplished by cut
ting away the fences in front of the
grand stand, putting upa wire net
ting and placing the catcher's base at
the foot of the tier OF seats.
1t is authoritively stated that mem
berS of the Driving Park Association
are deeply interested in making OF
tawa member of a state or Illinois
Valley league, and that their influence
and money will be brought forward at
the proper time.

Few Funerals Held Amid tho Rulus-Ths
People Too Overcome for Ordinary Grief.
JoHNsTowN, June 9.-Up at the ceme-
terry there Is a gang OF twenty-five men
on duty to dig and fill graves and handle
the collins, When wagonload Of the
dead arrives they oil fall to work digging
fresh graves in plots where the labels on
the collins show that the inmates are en-.
titled 10 burial In some OF the plots.
There were several families who owned
no plots, and the bodies Of the unknown
dead are lugged of to where n great
trench, 100 feet wide and the length Of a
coffin has been dug In the earth. The
collins are laid close in the bottom OF this
trench, and the dirt quickly shoveled
over them, One trench is iull already,
and start has been made on another.
AT the head OF each grave Is stuck a
shingle with the name OF tho one in.
tered there scrawled on II In lead pen.
Gil, or a number II the person be un.
known, On five adjoining shingles at
the trenches are the names: "W J..
Harris, aged 20 years" Crank Harris
and John Harris" "Maggie Harris"
margaret Harris" Sarah Harris"
There have been frequent cases OF the
wrong Identification lbodies, land some
scratching aud rewriting has been nee.
essary on the shingles. One runs thus:
"MiEs Bracken," "unkuown," "sup.
posed to be Miss Bunting, q factory
girl" supposed 10 bO Cassie Christie,
formerly Of Butler;" supposed to be
frankie Wagner, Market street." On
another shingle is written: "a large
woman with earrings" and underneath,
"Mrs. Mary Tingle."
Out OF all the nearly 1900 dead who
have been buried it Is probable that
there have not been dozen funerals.
One Is In progress in Johnstown this ai-
ternoon. 1t Is over the remains Of the
Rev. Dillon, recovered yesterday. Lack
OF funeral ceremonies Is not In any way
indicative OF disrespect, but because the
has overwhelmed the survivors.
The usual customs Of life are lost sight

The people are too overcome for any Or
