DR.. Hirsch, the Famous Chicago
Rabbi, in the First Rank, with a
Salary of $4,000 and a Fiji
teen-Year Contract.

In offering DR.. Emil G. Hirsch SIS 700
tor, Sinai congregation, of Chicago,
will pay him as large salary as is re-
ceived by any clergyman in the United
States. 1t is the same as is paid Bishop
Potter, of New York, who, however,
has rectory furnished, heated and light
ed free of cost, and is provided with a
private secretary. The late Rev. DR..
Hall, of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian
church, of New York, during the last
years of his life received the largest
salary ever paid to a clergyman in the
United States, which was $4,000 a
year, with a manse. Mr.. Beecher re-
ceived $4,000, without the manse. DR..
Halls proper salary was $4,000, and
$4,000 additional was contributed by
Robert Bonner and two other wealthy
members of the congregation. His sue
cessor, Mr.. Cornell, who comes from
Regents Park Presbyterian church, of
London, is offered $4,000 and a resi-
dence. That is the salary paid to DR..
Gregory, dean of St. Paul's cathedral,
and DR.. Bradley, dean of Westminster
abbey, London. Dean Farrar receives
$1,000 year. The hierarchy of the
Church of England enjoy enormous sal
aries, which are necessary to main
tain the large establishments required
of them. The archbishop of Canterbury
receives 100000 year, but he needs
every cent of it to meet his social and
ecclesiastical obligations at Lambeth
palace, the home of the pr1mate of the
Church of England. The salary of the
archbishop of York and that of the arch
bishop of London is $4,000 year. The
archbishop of Ireland receives $4,000.
The other bishops of the Church of Eng
land are paid from $4,000 to $4,000
year. The average pay of a vicar in
England is $4,000 outside the large
cities. In the cities the salary varies

San Francisco Is Sinking.

According to the newspapers of San
Francisco, that city is sinking into the
sea: Surveys made by the city author
tiles are said to have shown that the
average rate of subsistence is two inches
year. The engineers explain the phe-
nomenon by the condition of the ground
on which the city is built-sand mixed
with decayed vegetable matter extend
ing to deptf of at least 60 feet-and
believe that the compression or escape
of soil, this under the heavy load of
buildings which have been placed on it,
is sufficient to account for the sub:
sidence. Whether the spongy soil set
ties by compression or escapes into the
sea remains to be determined. -

public instruction, Colorado has again
elected woman to that position, with
the unanimous vote of all parties. No
more t1attering recognition of woman's
fitness and ability in guiding the ed
ucational interests of state could be
woman, irrespective of party at1ilia-
tons.
Mrs. Helen Loring Grenfell, the pres
ent incumbent, is beautiful, cultured
and earnest woman, who will give
great impetus to education in Colorado.
She is a home-loving, domestic woman,
whose personal happiness would be best
consulted by remaining quietly at
home, but having no children she feels
it her duty to respond when the Office
seeks her. !
Mrs. Grenfen is a descendent of the
old Puritan families of White and
Thatcher, her father being one of the
Lorings of Boston. While she was born
in Valparaiso, Chill, she was brought
up in Colorado, where most of her edu-
cation was received. She attended the
Albany normal school, as preparation
for teaching, in which work she was en-
gagged for eight years previous to her
marriage to Mr.. Edwin I. Grenfeu.
She was chosen superintendent of
schools in Gilpin county in '96, and
when the time for election next came,
she was nominated upon every one of
the four political tickets in the field.
Her success in administering to the
schools of Gilpin county attracted SO
much attention that the nomination for
state superintendent of public instruc-
ton was offered her by the unanimous
choice of all parties on the fusion ticket
last fall. Mrs. Grenfell has always been
a firm republican, and while not a poll
tician in the sense usually attached to
that word, has evinced SO much clear
judgment, sound sense and unswaver-
ing integrity upon all questions that
her opinions and advice are invariably
sought.

coin issued his call for $4,000 men for
three months, young Couden was
among the first to present himself for
enlistment.
Before the three months had expired
he had enlisted again in the Sixth Ohio
infantry for period of three years. He
fought in the battles of Laurel Hill and
in the skirmishes at Carrick's Ford and
Green Brier. He was in the battle of
Shiloh and Perrysville. But it was after
his transfer to the Mississippi marine
brigade that the engagement in which
he was wounded took place. 1t was
there that the light failed him forever.
Young Couden become blind imme-
diately, and he says that he felt then
that he would never see again. When
the doctor came to examine him the
young sufferer heard that his case was
hopeless.
"Will I see, doctor?" he asked anx-
iously.
The doctor smiled sadly; IF you're a
good boy, you'll see-after you die!" he
| answered.
When young Couden went back to his
home in Cincinnati he began the manu-
| facture of brooms. and afterward the
selling of confectionery. But he soon
determined to study for the ministry.

AN EXPENSIVE BLUNDER.
Kansas City Railroad Man Threw
Away a Car Load Of "Sand"
Full of Gold Ore.

Several months ago a Kansas City
(Mo.) company bought car load of
crushed ore in Mexico. Advices were
duly received that the ore had been
shipped-20 tons of it. The smelling
company politely asked the local agent
of the railroad company when the ore
would arrive. The local agent said he
had never heard of it. The smelling
company then appealed to the general
agent of the road. The general agent
gave it up. Along the line the question
was passed until it reached an official

according to the wealth of the parish,
from So 500 to $4,000.
The EpiscopaliansIand Presbyterians,
says the Chicago Record, pay larger
salaries than any other denominations,
but the pulpits most envied in the
United States are those Of the collegiate
Reformed Dutch church, of New York
city. There are seven or eight churches
of that denomination under the same
management and supported from an
endowment that is exceedingly rich.
It's income is next to that of Trinity
church, and amounts to several hundred
thousand dollars "a year. The pastors
of the collegiate churches are paid $780,
600 for life and are allowed to retire
from active pastoral work when they
reach the age of 65 years.
Trinity parish is the richest in the
world, and has an income of about $780,
900 from buildings and other invest
ments. 1t supports five or six churches,
several schools, hospitals and other
charitable institutions and pays the
manager Of it's business salary of $780,
900 year. The rector of Trinity church
receives $4,000. The same salary is
paid by St. Thomas and St. Bartholo-
news. Twas informed by good author
ity that five clergymen in New York
city received the salary of $4,000 a
year. The average pay of clergy
man in New York city, excepting the
pastors of mission churches, is proba-
bly, $4,000.
The editorial profession is not so we'll
paid. There are probably 16 editors
in New York, not proprietors of news
papers, who receive $4,000 a year or
over. The Journal and World have four
each, the Herald two, the Times, Post
and Brooklyn Eagle one each. The
highest editorial salary paid in the
United States is $4,000.
Editorial writer's of recognized abil-
ity. city editors, news editors and man.
aging editors on the large daily pa.
pers are paid from $4,000 to $500 a
year.
A few physicians in New York make
very large fees. There are two or three
specialists whose incomes will exceed
$4,000 year, perhaps ten make $685.
s 900, and perhaps IS make from SIS, 900
to $4,000. Ten thousand dollars a year
is considered large practice.

1t is very evident that, as women are
being tried in positions of public trust
and responsibility, they are not found
wanting; on the contrary, they are
found to possess ability, judgment
and conscientious devotion to duty
which makes them invaluable in many
public positions heretofore considered
as belonging entirely to man. Espe-
cially is this true in matters pertaining
to education.

10 miles northwest of San Antonio. The
rattles and the head of this snake were
presented to him and he prepared the
fangs, etc., to show their relation to the
poison glands. The head was supplied
with four fangs, two full grown and
two others near them in the front re-
gion of the upper jaw. The exposure
was taken by lamplight. The fact of
the snake having four fangs is inter-
esting. In all rattlesnakes there are,
besides the poison fangs, rudimentary
fangs which, upon the loss Of the; old
fangs, develop and supply their place.
In this case, however, the development
has been abnormal, and the second pair
of fangs have developed before any loss
of the old fangs has been sustained.

Prairie Farmer in 1SS4-5 and the Bankers
Monthly in 1856. He investigated agri-
cultural capabilities of the United states,
personally visiting every state and terri
tory in the union, the results of which were
issued in 1886 to 1890. AS an expert spe-
cial agent of the eleventh census, having
charge of agriculture, from 1890 to 1894,
he distinguished himself as one of the
leading thinkers connected with the last
census taken under the United States. But
more than this, he was editor chief of
