In nine cases out of ten the trouble is

 New York.-Were this town smaller, its doctor factories would be eoasid- cred among it's greatest features. As it is, they are almost totally lost sight of by all save those especially inter ested. As a matter Of fact, were 1t not that Philadelphia has also q wonderful aggregation of institutions where the arts of the surgeon and the science of medicine can be acquired, New York would easily lead ali America in this di- reetiou, and it is exceedingly doubtful whether the student could dc better in any foreign city than here
 In the first place there are on Man haitian island alone nearly 40 public dispcusarics, where thousands upon thousands of patients are treated every year by the students. To the public at large the chief idea brought to tbe sur face by the fact is that the treatment costs the people nothing, but to the pro fessional mind it suggests almost un- limited opportunities for the young graduate to get diversified practice. There are also more than T. score and half Of hospitals which are daily "wallted1 by scores of physicians and surgeons in embryo. In each of these institutions, clinics, some daily and some weekly, are regularly held, and hundreds of cases requiring rare and difficult surgery are explained to the students by past masters in the art of patching up the bodies of unfortunate human beings.
 Naturally, where there are such ex- traordinary facilities medical colleges arc sure to exist At last accounts there were a round dozen such institu- tions here, representing all branches of legaEzed medical practice, two of them being exclusively for women stu- dents. Owing to the generosity of sev-

And to the resulting host of unemployed journalists there arc constantly being added numbers of men and women not longer wanted on the papers they have long been serving. So that in the az gregate there must be hundreds. per haps rising of thousand. now in this town who have never turned their hand to anything but newspaper work and have never before lacked employment who would fall over themselves to take the smallest of positions. In fact, the glut in the journalists :. market is quite as bad at the beginning of the winter of 1897-98 as if was in 1893-per- baps worse.

 New Yoris's Night Schools.
 I ran across another oniy yesterday who said he had been having q hard time, but hoped now to get employment as a teacher in one of the night schools.
 New York night schools. by the way. have afforded many a young man the opportunity to earn a little money at the beginning of his career. I am ae- quainted with half a dozen young law yers who are teaching several nights each week while waiting for clients 10 come to their offices, and night school teaching is favorite employment with medical students, art students. engi- neerfng students and many others. The pay is not large, to be. sure. but the em- ployment occupies only few hours each evening, the compensatio is regu- lar and in some cases the work is of such q nature as to help the teacher in his own studies.
 These night schools are a great boon to foreigners ambitious to get on in the world. Abraham Cahan, the young Hebrew novelist whose tYell" created a literary sensation a year or two ago, was first a student and then teacher in a night school.

eral rich and public spirited citizens, these colleges have been supplied with great laboratories containing every known appliance for the furtherance of original investigation, and the faculties are made up largely of men whose spe- eial abilities, training and achieve ments have given them worldwide fame.
 As a result of all this, nearly 5000 students are enrolled on the books of the various institutions. They come from every country and province in both North and South America, and even from such far away lands as China, Japan, Persia, Turkey, India and parts of Africa.
 But while New York is an excellent place in which to study medicine, it is m exceedingly bad place for the prac- titioner who is just beginning. It will be clear that this could hardly be other wise when the unusual facilities for securing treatment and medicine free and the annual release of several hun dred graduates are remembered. And there are some among the struggling doctors here who hold that things have gone altogether too far Some months ago. indeed, when new hospital in which the treatment was to be free was opened, an attempt was made to or ganize regular opposition to the further extension of free facilities-but, of course, this came to naught.
 Newspaper World 0vercrOvded.
 There never was a time when news paper workers in New York were so we'll paid as now; and there never was time, either, when so many fairly capable newspaper workers were out Of places as now. The competition be- tween two or three papers boasting cir eulations so enormous that ten years ago they would have been declared positively impossible, is at the bottom of this seeming anomalous situation.

for myself. Accordingly, some days later, I was permitted to be present at one of the "pilgrimagess that have now become a feature of vatican life. Let me confess. just here, that for over an hour carefully studied the face of his holiness under g powerful opera glass.
 If Leo XIII is really so hale and hearty, appearances are decidedly against him. He seemed to me more like q statue carved out Of alabaster than the living head of the great Cath ohc church. As the pilgrims passed before him, kissing his hands and feet, he made an effort to smile-the spirit was willing, but the flesh was weak. The face seemed of ashen hue, and the effort that of a sick man. There was a spiritual grace noticeable. but it was not of this world. I learned subse- quently that the Holy Father had in- tended to say an earlier mass, but, for some reason, had not done so This only increased my suspicious that the days of the present pontif are num- bered.
 A more kindly and kingly face one would not care to see. Peace was everywhere written on the features, so that it was scarcely necessary to give the "Pax Vobiscum" to the pilgrims. Ii, as it is sometimes said, you can read the Ten Commandments on some faces, then on the pope's eountenanee was clearly visible the fruits of the spirit" as outlined by the Great Apostle.
 The voice of the holy father was even more kindly than his look, and as clear as crystal. As he gave the papal benediction to his followers, his tones rang out as beautiful as a bell. It is a voice that has at some time had as careful training as prima donna'ss
 The figure of the pope seemed the in- carnation of frailty, as he stood before the throne. Had he appeared from the clouds, instead of the vatican, he could not have presented a different aspect. He seemed to me to be bidding adieu to the shores of time, about to sail forth on the ocean of eternity.
 And as the sedan chair bore away the successor of St. Peter, felt that had looked upon Leo XIII. for the last time.

 There is no class of New Workers whose members possess so unquencha- ble d thirst for knowledge as the Jews. They seem fully to understand that knowledge is the best key with which to unlock the gate of the path to sue cess.
 East Side Ambitious.
 This overpowering desire for knowl- edge is not, of course, confined to any single class among the denizens of the East side. and devoted students of nearly every European nationality may be found in the night schools between Broadway and the Bast river. More over, those who attend night schools do not, in most cases, stop studying on leaving school. am sure that I am not overstating the fact when I say that there are hundreds, and perhaps thou sands of young worlmnen living in what are eontemptuoasly termed the slums of this city, who are far better posted upon all topics of general in- terest than many college students and young graduates of American birth.

The young man told me he had read them all through, and that he bought noth- ing for show; for, indeed. there was no one who would be impressed by the dis play to show them to, Naturally many of the volumes were cheap editions, but do not remember seeing any in paper covers; ard their owner con- fessed to having expended a large per- eentage of his total income for two or three years in order to get them.

 In reply to my query as to the holy fathers health, the cardinal spoke Gin Freneh) substantially as follows:
 'sFhe pope is in the best of health, and all reports to the contrary are in- correct, to say the least. He is a wonder, considering how old he is. His memory is something remarkable. and he can remember things even to the most minute details. He never uses spectacles in reading, and his eyesight is perfect. He attends personally to many of the affairs of state, and keeps very close watch on all that is hap pening throughout the world Why, even during the very hot weather of the past summer he said mass in the presence of several different bodies of pilgrims.
 His holiness takes plenty of exer- else; and though he occasionally drives, he generally prefers to walk around the vatican gardens. He man. ages to do a large amount of work daily, and finds time for much read ing and reereati tion.'
 Cardinal RampolIa further intimated that the holy see was very much i'm terested in affairs in America, and ex- pected> grand results from the Catholic university at Washington.
 Can I assure the Catholics in our country that the pope is in sympathy with the principles of progress in the United states?" I asked.
