tain. They had a nice little orchard In
suburb Of San Jose. and were living quietly
when Captain Chambers was seized with
desire to 60 20 Peru. The captain fitted up
\ sci,oouer and sailed for Peru. He made
money there and was sending his wife from
t125 TO ti75 month.
One day there came to her door tramp.

So It was that William Warner slept II

There were more religious discussions
and one day the pilgrim told his hostess h

New York No Place for Young Lawyer.

New York No Place for Young Lawyers.
Law students generally regard New York
as a Mecca for their practice. The great
quantity Of business In this city. the high
social standing of lawyers and the rapid
growth Of all enterprises, to say nothing
OF multitudinous railroads and consequent
accidents, dazzle the eyes Of students and
attract them ms the candle does the moth.
Newspaper stories about fabulous fees
abound, and the natural result ~ that
New York Is filed TO OVERLOOKING with
lawyers, so per cent OF whom do not make
comfortable living. The fact IL that the
practice OF law in New York has changed
greatly within this generation.
Twenty five years ago the most success
full lawyers seldom paid more than ~ 500
year for Office rent Now the rent paid
by the largest law firms is nearer $4,000
than 1900. 1t requires as much room and
as much money to run great law firm as
TO manage a good sized factory. Such a
firm occupies from six to ten rooms In a
great down town Office building, and II
pays from e. 600 to $1,000 year In rent
"A few Ut the larger firms have fifteen or
twenty clerks, besides several Junior part
ners, two or three stenographers and q
corps Of Office boys Their ordinary ex-
penses exceed $4,000 year. So. unless a
young lawyer intends to become closk on
a settled salary, or unless he has excep-
tional ability In particular specialties, he
had better keep out Of New York.-Inter.

New York, Dec. 7.-While trading In

INDUSTRIAL TOPICS.

No furnace of the Reading Iron
works went into blast Thursday for the
first time in nearly three years.
John Fowler, of this city, has re-
ceived the contract for sinking a shaft
at the Morea colliery. He is just about
finishing a successful contract at the
Chamberlain colliery, and will COM
mence work at Morea today.
The Ebervale washery was compelled
to suspend operations Wednesday
morning on account of no water. Pipes
will be laid today from the breaker to u
number Of nearby ponds. 1t will be
several days before operations will re-
sumo. The plant employs 100 men.
1t was due to change at the head of
the New York Lake Erie and Western
company's management that George
Van Keuren, formerly superintendent
of the Jefferson division, was elevated
to the high position which he now
holds as superintendent Of transporta-
tion.
The directors of the Lehigh Coal and
Navigation company have called a
meeting to be held on Monday next
The purpose of the meeting at this
time is to select a man to fill the vac
ancy caused by the death of President
e. b. Leisenring. Elmer II. laval, Of
the Lehigh and Wilkes-Barre Coal
company, it is believed, will be the
choice. 1t is understood that the Leis-
enring people are very earnest in their
desire to have Mr.. laval fill the vac
ant chair, and the only opposition, If
such exists, may come from George d.
McCreary, of Philadelphia, who is also
large stakeholder
The statement of shipments OF an
thracite coal for the week ended Dec. l.,
has no bearing upon the present condi-
tion of trade or as it has been since the
first of the month. 1t shows shipments
for the week of 1,041,132, a larger
amount than had been expected, and
swells the total for the month to above
100000. How much of this coal was
sold and how much went into stock,
cannot now be guaged, but it is believed
that the increase of stocks on hand has
been large for the month-larger, in
fact, than carried for long time. Ship
ments for the week, compared with the
same week last year, show an increase
of 145,SS5 tons, of which 1882 tons came
from the Schuylkill region, 36,736 tons
from the Wyoming, and 3O257 tons
| from the Lehigh region.
The Elkins-W s-Widener-N -Newbold synd-
cate is about to begin the construction
of what they claim will be the finest
| electric trolley road in the world. It
| is to be the Washington and Baltimore
boulevard line, 32 miles long, contracts
| for II miles of which will be let in few
| days. The first section, between Wash
| ington and Laurel, is expected to be in
operation by April l, 1895. The Manu-
| facturers' Record this week gives a
complete description of the road, which,
it is estimated, will cost $1,OO0,OOO. The
| road will be ouble-tracked, and laid
| with S0-pound steel rails. The trains
will have guaranteed speed of sixty
miles per hour the fastest schedule
| time for any electric or steam railway.
The block signal system will be used
for the prevention of accidents. 1t Is
proposed to have the entire line in op-
Grafton by midsummer.

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.
Difficult TO Detect Any Change in the
Current Business prospects for Better
Times After Jan. Are Hopeful.

iiihCS AllSl Jun. AiS ilOpSlul'
By the United Press.
New York, Dec. 7.--R. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade tomorrow will
say: 1t Is difficult to detect any change
in current business. Prospects for busi-
ness after Jan. l are quite generally
considered more hopeful in some
branches there are larger orders, and
the west bound shipments of merchan-
disc are little larger. But the work
naturally diminishes near the end Of
the year and the holiday traffic brings
just now a temporary activity which is
not of much general significance. The
meeting of congress, and the announce
ment of the new currency plan and Of
various bills proposed have not affect
ed the situation perceptibly On the
whole agricultural products are scarce
ly stronger, and wages of labor do not
advance, but there is reason to expect
the employment of a somewhat larger
working force after the holidays.
Stocks have been a shade stronger

Railroad earnings continue smaller

thus far show a decrease Of 81 per
cent. against GA per cent. in October,
Comparing with 1892, the decrease is ~
per cent. against SO in October.
The iron industry seems to have dis
tinctly brighter prospects at Chicago,
where pig iron is firmer and bar in
larger demand because of orders for
freight cars.
The money market has not improved
and the drift of idle money hitherward
is as large as at any time this year.
The failures this week have been 1856
in the United States against 3S5 last
year, and 40 in Canada against AZ last
year.
