JOURNALISM AS LIFE WORK
Lecture by Edstsr Files Bersrs Wood
ford. UnIversaIIst Church.

The .fifth In the course OF Sunday eve
ming lectures at the woodforus Universe
LIST church was delivered last night by
Mr. j. Ii. Files Of the Advertiser, on the
subject OF Journalism as Life Work
for Young Men ana Women"
The speaker defined journalism and the
business OF the journalist, and said that
in comparisou.with fome other professions
and lines OF business It offered few prizes.
The average journalist could not reason
ably expect to grow rich ON his salary
hut he could expect TO make a modest
competencs. It was no wonder, however,
that bright young men should feel at
tracted toward this vocation. Cowper
CO labrated in verse the power OF the press
l5O years ego, and Burke called it the
fourth estate. If it was power then, 1t
ia A far greater power In this day OF
cheau printing and universal reading.
The Clergyman speaks to his congregation
but once or twice week, but the editor
speaks to a ususlly larger audience six
times a week. The young man is at
traoted by this power; he wants to be
able to WELD some of 1t, and to share In
this maKing of public opinion and the
shaping OF national policy.
Proceeding to an examination Ct the
inducements held out by journalism as a
life work, the speaker said that on the
basis OF the last census report, the num-
bsr OF daily newspapers In the United
states was about SUOl, with the number
Of morning papers to evening as one to
two. This was on the assumption the
ratio OF Increase In the past ten years nad
hesn the same as during the previous de-
cade. The census report On newspapers
and periodicals for the year 1900 has not
yet been published, but in 1890 the aver
age mum ber of editors, sub-editors and
reporters was 10, 5SS. The total wages
paid was $40, ,749, AZ. There were ~. 05o
males employed, at average annual wages
OF $1U39, and 4SS females, at average an
nual wages of S6g7. The ratio OF women
to men in journalism was nearly one to
twenty. The speaker said that the share
OF women in newspaper making was con-
siderable and increa sing, particularly in
certain departments de estimated that
there were row about 5000 daily news
pap rs, employing about $4,000 editors,
sup-editors ana reporters.
Considering the large number of young
men and wcmen entering upon bust
ness career each year, the Held of journal
ism appears comparatively limited. II
would seem that the pressure would be
correspondlngly heavy, and that compe-
tition ould tend to keep wages down.
This conclusion would not be far wrong
The demand generally exceeds the sup
pIy, and while here as everywhere the
man of special talent commands his price,
the pay of the average Is not large. The
young person contemplating journalism
should be made to realize that the pros
pect Is crowded field, moderate pay,
hard work, and obscuTity.

H. Duell to reporter Of The Star today.
when the country is poor, the inventors,
who for the most part are men in moderate
circumstances, keep their ideas out Of the
Office. When the advance guard Of pros
perty came with Mr.. McKinleys first adj
ministration the financial pulse of the
patent office was the first to register. I'd
went the receipts and the applications came
pouring in. Since then, With every advance
Of the country, came a Corresponding adj
vance in the business Of the patent office.
After the election last fall the office evil
denced the continuance of prosperity by
jumping its receipts 1t may be of interest
to Tlfe Star readets to know that the re-
ceipts Of the office for February were s116-
S25 g. the largestoin the history of the
patent office. and gain over February OF
last year of $1O,515.S7 With this ratio and
the promises for greater prosperity in the
future 1t looks as IL the government would
have to build another patent office. The
room we obtained upon the transfer of the
land office to the old Post Office building
has been utilized and We are crowding again.
What really is needed Is an entirely new
building devoted exclusively to patents The
department is acknowledged one of the most
important Of the government and why it
should be made co-tenant with another
bureau is past my understanding.

kARPOVICH A NIHILIST.
Was Selected by Lot to Kill NJ. Bogo-
liepOff.

A dispatch from St. Petersburg yesterday
says: The man named karpovich, who shot
at and wounded the minister Of public in
struction, NJ. Bogolepoff, last Wednesday,
while the minister was holding reception,
ard who was subsequently arrested was
expelled from the Moscow University in
1886 for taking part in the students riots
there. He was also expelled from the Dor
pat University for the same reasons in
1898, and studied "a the Berlin University
in 1900.
Peter Karpovich belonged to a political
committee while a student at the DOrpat
University He remained some time in
Moscow, and then went TO Switzerland and
Berlin. and returned to ST. Petersburg
Tuesday. 1t is not believed he had con-
ferences with the st. Petersburg students.
He entered the ministry in citizens attire,
under the pretext of handing the minister
a petition to re-enter the Dorpat Univer-
Sity.
NJ. Bogoliepoff passed around the room
receiving petitions. karpovich, who as
sumed the air of exaltalion, glancing dra-
matically at the ceiling while waiting for
the minister's entrance, drew a revolver
from his breast pocket, and, while the min
lister was talking with Mayor Chernigof,
fired within two steps DIT his heart but
the hand of the would-be assassin trembled
and the bullet passed into the right side of
the minister's neck. lodging the spinal
column, whence II mas not yet Deen extract
ed. NJ Bogoliepoff fell unconscious.
Karpovich, thinking him dead, did not
fire again. He tried to slip the revolver
into his breast pocket but fumbled and
let it fall to the floor. He then remained
pale and motionless, making no attempt to
escape.
NJ. n. V. Mouravieff, minister of justice,
interrogated karpovich as to his motives,
but he would give no answer save that he
had nothing personally against the minis
ter. According to one account, he admitted
subsequently having been selected by lot
to kill NJ. Bogolepoff.
The wound is not necessarily fatal, al
ing carried in with the bullet is re-
garded as a bad feature
The parents of Karpovich are property
owners near Homel, the Dnieper, and
he himself Is property owner.
The students are inclined to glOrify the
deed and his Berlin acquaintance describe
Karpovich as "high-minded' and "altru-
istic."
NJ. Bogoliepoff is fifty-eight years old
He served twenty-five years as a privat-
decent and professor at Moscow Univer-
sty. and three years ago he was appointed
minister of public instruction upon the
recommendation of Grand Duke Sergius,
governor general of Moscow. He married
Countess Lisven, having been tutor in the
Lisven family. He is credited with old
fashioned ideas the subject of popular
education and with the declaration that
reading, writing and elementary arithme-
tic all the masses need. Consequently
he is not popular with the advanced classes

BLEED FROM EVERY PORE.
Dentistry Student Dies of Haemophi-
1ia in New York,

ia In New York.
From the New York Herald of Today
Bleeding continuously from the nose and
gums, Elmer W. Roach of No. 225 Park
place, Brooklyn. died at his home early yes
terday morning from one Of those mysteri-
Gus diseases for which physicians have
found name. but which they admit is be-
yond their ability to cure or even assign to
a satisfactory cause.
Mr.. Roach was studying dentistry in Phil
adelphia when the attack began, three
weeks ago. After suffering for a week he
returned to his home in Brooklyn and wen,
under the care of Drs. De Forest and Pea
body, who exhausted all known means OF
controlling hemorrhages. The two physi.
clans left him only a few minutes before
his death.
DIR. Emil F. Hartung Of the coroner's
office said that death was due to an ex-
cessive amount of white corpuscles in the
blood.
Il have had only two cases of this kind,
he said. lin the seventeen years l have been
practicing.
Haemophilia is the name given to the dis
ease, but persons suffering from it are
popularity known as 'bleeders.'
If the family history of Mr. Roach were
to be looked into said an eminent physi-
clan last night, Il think there is little
doubt that il would be found that he came
from a family of 'bleeders.'
1t is remarkable fact that no other
disease illustrates SO strikingly the effects
of heredity. 1t has been traced back in
single families for two hundred years or
more.
"One of its remarkable properties Is that
it usually skips the female members of the
family, but appears again in their male
children. Eleven males are afflicted to one
female.
1T appears to be due to a lack of a GER
tain acid, the absence Of which leaves the
~ 1ior 4,,iIi
This enables 1T to out through the
arterial walls and membrane and at the
same time deprves it of much of its power
to coagulate and SO stop its own flow"
Haemophilia usually develops in patients
before they cut their second teeth and few
live to adult age. If they do survive until
such a time the disease often becomes so
modified as to let them attain old age.
Mr.. Roach's case was peculiar in this re-
spect also. He was twenty-five years old
and about nine years ago lost leg in a
railroad accident Had the disease then
manifested itself he would have bled to
death at once

GERMANY IN CENTRAL AMERICA.
Steady Efforts to Advance FOrmer'a
Interest in the COuutcY.

Germany recently appointed her first sal
aried consul to Central America, accred-
tied to the state of Nicaragua, with a con-
sulate at Managua. Besides this salaried
consul, says United States Consul Deid-
erich at Bremen in report to the State
Department, there are at present in Central
America fifteen German feed consuls, vice
consuls and consular agents, whose duty it
is to look after the interests Of at least four
thousand German residents and business
firms there. German commercial interests
in Central America, the consul states, have
been rapidly increasing during the past
few years, and the Germans occupy a
prominent position, both in business and
social way. They are owners and managers
of extensive commercial and agricultural
enterprises and of important railroads and
electric plants. They, too, are excellent
physicians and teachers, and, in fact, are
foremost in every profession, trade and oc-
cupatiOn.
It has been officially stated, says Consul
Deiderich, that the German government has
invested fully $59, 100000 in various enter
prises in Central America, and German
farms and plantations occupy more than
742 600 acres. The large German business
houses in Nicaragua, Guatemala and Costa
Rica, besides transacting all the business
between Germany and Central America,
control most of the trade between the latter
and England and California.
The trade between Germany and Central
America amounts annually in round num-
bers to from 100000 to s12, 100000. The
shipping on the entire coast is largely in
the hands of German steamship lines.
Germany takes foremost place in the for
eign trade of Guatemala, and controls
about one-half of the coffee and sugar
crops 1t was expected that the first Ger
man consulate would be opened at Guate-
maia City. However, the future canal
across the isthmus gave Nicaragua the
precedence and makes that section most
important to all the great powers of the
world.
In closing his report Consul Deiderich
sounds note of warning as to the foot
hold which Germany is planting on this
continent saying:
Those who are familiar with the thor
oughness Of German methods generally,
with the wonderful progress this nation
has been making during the past dozen
years in almost every field of human ac-
tivity, and know how alert it is to- extend
it's trade into every quarter of the globe.
need not be told that the reorganization of
the German consular service in Central
America is a step Of no mean Importance"
