There is something wrong with

These farmers must pick 4 cent

Lawyers Scarce in 1920.

In the year 1920, under the authority
of the State of New York, an enumera-
ton Of the lawyers entitled to practice
at the State or local courts was made.
The regulations for admission to the
bar at the time were simple and easy
to comply with. Nevertheless there
were found to be only three lawyers on
Staten Island, thirteen in Westchester,
sixty in Albany, and forty-five in On
ondaga. Monroe County had not then
attained the distinction which 1t has
had since the grown Of Rochester into
city,>and 1t had within. its borders
only seventeen lawyers, while Colum-
bia County, which has since given to
the bar of the State many learned iu-
rists, had thirty-two, and Duchess
County fifty-two. The people Of Long
Island were even less inclined to liti-
CATION then than they are now. for in
the whole Of Suffolk County there were
six lawyers only, In Queens County
there were but two. and in Kings
County lit is very different now there
were three only.
In BrOOme County were three law
yers, in Greene twenty-one, in Putnam
three. in Steuben twelve, and in Tioga
fourteen; but perhaps the lawyer Of
that period who enjoyed what might
in these days be called an easy snap
was the one member of the New York
bar who resided in Orleans County.
After 1920 there was large Increase
of lawyers in New York State and in
1894 they numbered 2,OS4.-New York

Fight Against the Evi1s of Slavery
Thrilling Events that eliminated in
His Assassination.
Died a MARTYR.


Over sixty years ago, on the night OF
Nov. Z, 1887, Elijah p. Lovejoy was
shot down in Alton, ILL.,, while with a
few stanch friends he was defending
his printing press against the blind
fury of pro-slavery mob. This is the
incident upon which was based the ap-
Precipitation of $4,000 by the Illinois
Legislature for the erection in Alton
of a monument to the memory of the
martyr, the dedication Oh which. took
place on the recent anniversary of that
famous tragedy.
The man whose brief career is thus
commemorated In marble and bronze,
Elijah Parish Lovejoy, was born at
Albion, Kennebec, Me-, Nov. 8, 1902.
He was the eldest of family of nine
children, the son of a Congregational
minister. The early years of his life
were spent upon the little New En-
gland farm, and were distinguished
only in his abnormal desire for knOwl-
edge. His spare time was always Occu-
pied in study, and by his own thrift he
was enabled to enter the sophomore
class in Waterville College in 1923,

LEGATION Of the Observer was resumed
Sept s, 1886. 1t was uninterrupted
until the following August. Lovejoy
wrote without intermission on the sub
ject Of slavery, and meantime contin-
ued his religious work, being mOdera-
tor of the Alton Presbytery when he
died.
The st. Louis opposition, however,
soon manifested itself there, and on
July II, 1887, public meeting pro-
tested against the course of the paper
and appointed committee to intercede
with Lovejoy. He received the delega-
ton politely, but in cold disdain Of
their mission. The trouble eliminated
as usual. The plant was totally de-
stroyed on the night of Aug. 81. The
same night committee Of vigilantes
waylaid Lovejoy on a lonely road and

My wife is dangerously Ill and was

his word to take it and have the medi-

house without letting my wife know

profound silence for a moment, and
then the leader said: "Boys, l can't

rounded the warehouse again. The at
tack came promptly, accompanied by
many shots. Capt. Long ordered one
shot fired in response. This killed a
man, and the mob dispersed, but re-
turned later to the attack with greater
fury. An attempt was made to fire the
roof, and during lull Lovejoy went
out to see If the blaze had taken hold
Then five shots rang out from behind
a woodpile and Loyejoy fell dead. That
ended the trouble. The mob at once
retired and no further demonstration
was made. Lovejoy was buried two

ANCIENTS VALUED GOLD.

Antique Mining Implements Discov-
cred Near the Red Sea.
Gold was probably the first metal OBJ
served and collected, because of the in
stinctive understanding of its intrinsic
value. About it superstitions grew, re-
ligious and ceremonious rites and
strange crimes were committed for its
possession in the days when it was be-
lieved that it was of such stuff that the
sun itself was made and the halls of
Valhalla paved. Rock paintings and
carvings of Egyptian tombs earlier
than the days of Joseph indicate the
operation of washing auriferous sand.
and subsequent melting in furnaces
by the aid Of blow pipes. Less than
twenty years ago the old mines of
Nubia, SO graphically described by
Diodorous, were rediscovered ON the
shores Of the Red Sea, together with
line Of ancient wells across the desert;
the underground workings where ore
veins had been followed with the pick,
the rude cupelling furnaces for assay
ing, picks, oil lamps, stone mills, NOR
tars and pestles, inclined warming, ia
bles of stone, crucibles and retorting
furnaces Of burned tile, by which the
entire process could be traced
Here slaves and hapless prisoners
of war exchanged their life blood for
glittering dust to fill the treasures of
their captors. In India anu Asia
Minor the powdered ore was washed
down over smooth, slOping rocks and

a golden fleece that Jason brought
back from the Caucasus. Further
north and following the eastern foot
hills of Mount Ararat to the southern
slope of the Ural mountains in Rus
sian Siberia, where last year millions
were taken out of the old mines, the
ancient Scythians broke up rock and
gravel with copper implements, scrap
ed out the glittering dust and nuggets
with the fangs Of wild boars, and car
ried their gain away in bags of leather.
All through this region miners of to-
day know that one Of the chief dangers
to be avoided are the Scythian pits,
sixty feet deep in the gravel, and
shaped like a well. The remains of
thousands of small furnaces of burn
ed clay testify to the long period over
which the workings of the mines ex-
tended.-Modern Machinery.

Victoria,s Eaxorite Pose.

Soon after the birth of the Prince Of
Wales, Victoria's picture dandling the
infant heir to the throne on her knees
was displayed in shop windows
throughout the land. 1t was received
with enthusiasm. Something of the
motherliness: of this royal woman
touched the hearts of her people and
Victoria, quick to see the hold that it
gave her upon them, has maintained
the practice Of presenting them at
regular intervals with photograph of
herself dandling something in the
shape of descendant upon her knees.
First her own children, then her grand
children, and later still her great
grandchildren all have served as ties
to bind her more closely to her sub.
