The doors leading 10 the cells were then
opened and Wilde was seen approaching,

reached the center of the prisoners dock
he deposited his hat OH the seat, bowed to
Sir John Bridge, folded his arms and lean

Mr.. Gill said that he appeared to prose-
cute the prisoner on a series of charges
of melting boys to crime and of committing
acts of gross immortality.
The prosecutor then related how, in 1898,
when Wilde was staying at the Savoy
Hotel, Alfred Taylor (wno was arrested
today, acting agent for Wilde, induced
a Charles Parker to visit Wilde and con-
sent to his leadership in crime.
A few moments later Taylor was brought
into court and placed in the dock beside
Wilde, who Lodded to him.
Parker was then examined and related at
length, giving the most minute details. his
intimacy with Wilde.
While Parker was giving this testimony
Wilde moved restlessly in the dock and
passed his hands across his face.
Parker was then bound over to testify at
the trial of Wilde which is to take place in
the Old Bailey.

CONGRESSMAN LIVINGSTON HoNoRED
The Venezuelans Grateful for His

The Venezuelans Grateful for His
Speech ON the Monroe Doctrine.
Advices from Venezuela state that eX-
Congressman Livingston of Georgia Is a
hero of the day there, and that it would
not be surprising if bis statue were erect
ed on the public square at Caracas along
side that of ex-President Monroe, as eN-
ponent of the Monroe doctrine Mr.. Liv-
ingston introduced the resolution which
passed Congress directing the State De-
partment to intercede between Great Bri-
tain ard Venezuela for a settlement Of
their troubles. He also made speech on
the subject, sounding the Monroe doctrine.
The speech, it seems, has struck a popular
chord in Venezuela ard has attracted
great deal Of attention there. 1t has been
translated into Spanish and is printed in
full as a memorable Itterance. A Nenezu-
elan poet has written a poem sounding Mr..
Livingston's praises, and his picture, ad-
vices received here say, appears in all the
newspapers.

dence furnished by Hans Beattie, ex-com-
missioner of street cleaning, who was ar

having received a bribe of 500 in connec-
ton with the YalePrinceton foot ball
game of Thanksgiving day, 1892

asked for list of the men indicted who
had not been suspended from duty. The
list was furnished Yesterday, and was dis
cuSSed at the executive session by the
board. AT that time the superintendent

tfon, where the increase since 1870 Ill the number of women employed is more than LOGO per cent as compared to 156 per cent on the part of men, We take it that this is largely due to the employ ment of women as clerks in offices and stores and also their employment in the headquarters of the various railroad companies. Of course one reason for this enormous increase is found i'll the fact that in 1870 only very small number were so employed-that IS, less than 20, 000-while in the last 20 years the number has increased to over 200, 900. In professional service the gains made by women are proportionately vastly more-that is, nearly twice as great as those made by men.
 In certain pursuits, such as those of artists and teachers of arts, they are clearly driving the men out of the field, since, while their numbers have enor- mously increased, there are fewer men engaged in such avocations than there were 20 years ago. The occupations Ill which they have made distinct en- trance and are likely tn the next 10 or 20 years to show marked increase are those of architect, assayist, dentist, jour nalist, lawyer, clergyman and physi- elan. It is interesting to notice, as lndl- eating possibly shifting of duties, that in domestic and personal service the gain made by the men has been both ac- tually and relatively larger than the gain scored by the women. although this is class of duty supposed to be pe- culiarly feminine.
