AsBURY PARK, N. j., July l2.-This
resort was visited early in the morning
by professional burglars. When book,
keeper Joseph johnson, of the Mon
mouth grocery establishment, went to
his office, he found the room wrecked,
the large safe shattered, and its cou-
tents scattered about the place. A half
incl hole had been drilled through the
door, and violent explosive inserted.
The most remarkable feature of the
burglary is that, although the Mon
mouth grocery adjoins police hoadquar-
ters, none of the officers there heard the
explosion. The amount stolen was not
large.

same sum yearly. Eighteen ol
twenty make about $4,000 a year
upwards of 100 half as much, and
the rest of them at any other figure
down to $1,000 or $4,000, or even
vi 900 yearly.
In no other learned profession
save tho law do incomes contrast
30 sharply, the great with the
small. In the law conditions are
similar.
John E. Parsons makes from
$4,000 to 100000 a year. About
half dozen others, such as Inger-
soil, Choate, Root and others, are
in the same class. Fifty others
make in the neighbcrhood Of $780,
600 annually.
The number OF those who get
S25, 900 is larger, but not impos
ing. Railroad and other corpora
tions, business houses and the like
employ lawyers at steady salary
that may range from $1,000 to
S25, 900 q year. The big law firms
employ lawyers and pay them
from $1,000 down to 81 900. Then
there is the great army of lawyers
who are fighting their way, their
laurels yet to be won. They have
no steady income. One year they
may make $1,000, another $4,000,
and the next drop back to $1,000.
1t is this uncertainty that tries
young lawyers more than anything
else.
Mercantile houses, too, pay their
chief employees much better than
they once did.
But then, to turn to another
profession. widely different, take
that of William 4. Caldwell, the
starter at the big race tracks. He
gets 800 day when he works.
And his work Is easy, too, you will
perhaps say. But you just try to
start a big field of horses in big
race on which few hundred thou
sand of dollars are bet, and do ii
satisfactorily, and after that you
will perhaps say the job isn't as
easy as it looks.
Does this apply to all the other
professions that pay such big

The men who are familiar with
such professions say that it does.

STEVENSON AND LABOR.


Gen. Stevenson, the Democratic
candidate for Vice. President. II .
large employer Of labor in mines.
In his recent speech to the work
men who called upon him, irrespec.
tive Of their party connection, to
thank HIM for his uniform 'justiee
and kindness" IN dealing with
them, Mr.. Stevenson said:
The IN ost kindly and cordial feelings
should ever exist between the employer
and the employed All dissgreements
should 70 settled either by conference or
by arbitration
The trouble at Homestead came
to climax in war because srrog-
ance and force took the place Of
kindness and cordiality. The
trouble continues because both
conference aud arbitration are
denied.
This Is the difference between
Gen. Stevenson, Democrat and
Just man, aud Chairman Frick and
his Hessian defenders.
The real contest at Homestead
Is over the right of Labor to unto
where Capital has combined. On
this point Gen. Stevenson says:
1t has been my firm conviction for
years that organization looking solely to
the bettering OF the protection OF their
rights is necessity to the wage-earners.
Aud these are among the reasons
why Gen. Stevenson Is popular in
ILLINOIS aud will be strong csndi-
date with and for the Democrats
throughout the Union.

DR.. Norvin Green, who is presi
dent of the Western Union Teie

habit of taking of his income from

at less than $4,000 year. John
King, the railroad man, is said tc

Leod of the Reading, who was
the central figure in the big rail
road deal that has been 80 much
talked about of late, is rated at
about the same.
The Pennsylvania Railroad has
always paid large salaries. AL
though the president now in Office
does not get as much as Thos.
Ccott did, he is at least on q level
with Mr.. Depew. and Uncle Sam

tanee behind.
Big railroads and financial in
stitutions watch public men more
closely than the latter know 1t
sometimes. When they see man
in public life who develops any
very considerable talent for fnan-
cial or other work OF high order
they snap him up, if such thing
be possible. John A. Mccall is
an example of this. He was ap-
pointed State Superintendent of
Insurance by Grover Cleveland.
He made a splendid record, and
could be holding office still, for
Governor Hill wanted to keep him.
But the managers of the Equitable
Life Company had been watching
the brilliant young man, and
wanted him. They offered him
some $4,000 a year, and he gave
up politics. Now he has gone up
higher, and draws q salary of $780,.
900 per year.

He will be more
