WOMEN IN THE PROFESSIONS
The Great Increase in the United King
dom-SOme Statistics.

The Great Increase In the United King
dom-Some Statistics.
The advance made by women in the
professions is strikingly brought out by
this new census paper. In the civil
service the number of women officers
and clerks had risen from less than g.
600 in 1871 to 8,546 in the last census
year In the local government of the
country, too, women are much more
freely employed. There was evidently
a return of women doctors in 1871; they
were awaiting their degrees, or had de-
grees which the census did not recog,
nize; in l8SsAQffation,re returned as rs
in number, bta 81 they were 1o1 in
England andEn t1a. IS. Women vete1f-
nary surgeon, lpeared for the first
time in the ,se3sus of 1891; There were
then twoe~Plem. Besides over $4,000

gagged Ssl155ordinate medical service"
Under the somewhat comprehensive
heading of 'author, editor, journalist"
we find geo women in 1891, as compared
with 452 ten years before and 255 in
1871 Women reporters were rare in
1851 Fifteen was the total number for
England and Wales, but in 1891 there
were 1877. In the arts the invasion of
the ladies is most conspicuous. In
1881 there were 1860 of their sex who
returned themselves as painters, en-
grawers or sculptors; in 1891 the num-
her had risen to 3,032. For the first
time in 1891 there were lady architects
on the census. They numbered 10.
Lady musicians and music mistresses
numbered over 10000 in 1891. They
were 1900 ten years before. Instead
of 2,363 actresses, as in 1881, there were
in 1891 1906. In the commercial class
the increase of women workers is not
so striking, the apparently great aug
%1nentation of commercial clerks being
explained by the transfer to this class

RasroRep TO ms PARENTS.



just as The OPrIc went to press, last
evening, word came to town from the
Presbyterian picnic party, In the springs
canon, that Willie Dillon, the little six
year-old son OF N. J.. Dillon and wife, had
strayed away from the party and could
not be found. Information, time and space
did not permit OF more than a nero men
ton OF the fact, last evening, but in a few
hours the entire city was aroused and 11D
men boarded the springs train at 7 O'Clock,
prepared to make a thorough search for
the missing child.
Upon arriving on the scene, q. M. Adams
acted as captain of the crowd and d.
vided the men Off into squads of ten. and

OF thorough search, whereupon the men
started in every direction, calling the name
Of the boy as they vent. When a high
point In the mountains was reached, a FIRE
was built. This plan of search was kept
up until the entire country, from ice house
No. 4, down to the hot springs, and about
three miles back from the river, Wal thor
oughly searched and forty fires were blaz-
ing.
At about IL O'Clock, owing to the fatigue
and the fruitless efforts Of the rescuing
party, the boy hunt was abandoned until
this morning.
At day break, men left the city to renew
the search, and at 9:45 O'Clock a. M, James
Young, the stone mason, found the little
wanderer, about three miles north Of
where the picnic party had been occupy
ing the ground, with his shoes and stock
ings in his hand, and apparently very little
agitated.
The good tidings travelled equally as
fast as the sorrowful news had done, the
evening before, and it was but a short
time until the mountains reverberated
with the glad information that the lost had
been found.
The springs train was just entering the
canon when the joyful intelligence was
carried to those on board. The Joy was as
deep as the anguish had been, and the
mother, who had gone through the terrible
ordeal SO bravely, gave away to tears of
G 'adness.

when found, that he was hungry, and that
he bad not seen the fires, nor heard the
the night before. Evidently, he
had become exhausted, early in the even
ing, and had lain down and slept soundly
throughout the night.
This incident shows what a strong bond
If sympathy there is In the human family.
Men of every class and profession turned
,ut, last night and this morning, and
unseldshly and eagerly to find the
Unfortunate little fellow.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dillon no doubt feel very
in their hearts to those who gave
much sympathy to them, during the
hours they waited to learn of
heir little ones fate.
