gresham Littlefield. of Maine, passed
through this city this afternoon on his
way to San Francisco. When asked his
opinion of the effect of the withdrawal
of Speaker Henderson from the race
in the Third Congressional district, he
stated that outside of the state of Iowa.
he thought there would be no appre-
ciable effect, but in the state it wOuld
have the effect of awakening h re-
publicans to a greater activity than
they would otherwise have exhibited.
He anticipated ADLER showing from
Iowa republicans this year than they
made last year
When asked of his connection with
the antitrust movement, he would
rather not say anything as to what his
measure would recommend, but would
say he was giving the matter atten-
ton every day n that all the speech
es he was now delivering, were along
h lines he expected to follow IN the
meaSur he had been asked by presi-
dent Roosevelt to prepare.
Asked if the rumor that he would be
a candidate for speaker of the house
of representatives, he stated hat he
was an aVowed candidate with very
fiattering prospects. He said mis- sup
port would coma from all parts Of the
country, not from the east alone as has
been supposed.

his numerous friends to anticipate bis
death, nevertheless the nnouncemer
of his death is a shock TO all who knew
him and will cause deep sorrow in VIII
mington.
Mr.. Wick was predisposed tc consu1ap-
ton and in May was taken with typhoid
fever at Portsmouth, VA, where he
was private secretary to Col. V. L. Nc
Bee, fourth vice president OF the Sea-

S4pp, OF Admission, Ala. and two half
brothers and a alf sister, Mr.. Walker
Wick, of New York, and Mr.. ALT. w.
Wick n Miss Mary Wick. of Whining
ton. Sincere sympathy will he felt for
them in his untimely death.
The deceased was a young man of
bright min and exceptionable attain
ments, and was an expert stehographer
and typewriter For several years he
was the efficient private secretary to
Mr.. James F. Post, secretary and treas
urer of the Atlantic Coast Line, and re-
signed hat position a couple of years
ago to take a position with the sea-
board Air Line. He was a manly young
man, and his devotion to his sisters and
brothers was n Of his noble traits. He
was a true and loyal friend and his
genial, gentle and sincere manner won
him the esteem and respect of every
body.
Mr.. Wick was a membe: of the First
Presbyterian church and was 9 member
OF the Independent Order of Odd Eel
lows. He was also formerly a member
of the Wilmington Hook and Ladder
Company, in the days OF the old volun-
teer fire department., ard served his
full time in the Wilmington Light In
antry.
The remains were expected here this
morning at 1910 o'clock but owing to-
the fact that the train bearing them
missed connection at Petersburg they
will not arrive until 6 O'Clock this even
ing. The caSket will be taken to the
residence of Mr.. w. w. Hodges, on
north Second street, ana the
ment of the time for the funeral will be

whom they can work up. 1t Is very
frequent that a stenOgrapher Is raised
to the dignity and emoluments Of a
travelling man. And still better posi-
tions are ahead. Railroads. perhaps.
more than any other corporations, pre-
fer male stenographers and 1t Is with
them that they are mostly employed.
1t is the stenOgrapher who, IL he is
sharp. gets at the very inside and
heart of successful management. When
promotions are in order they go to the
stenographers il they have shown this
fitting keenness Of comprehension.
More and more the stenographer has
come to be a necessity and in fact
component part of the business Oper-
ations of the country. Men who know
say his Importance will go on increas-
ing and so will his salary. The de-
mand for him is greater than ever and
his number was never so few. 1t takes
only a few months to learn, and the
knowledge with practice lasts 9
lifetime. Ordinarily bright, quick stu
dents learn pretty well within six
months. Some have perfected them
selves in less time while still others
must work longer. Hardly another
profession, for such it has come to be,
is SO quickly mastered and SO quickly
remunerative.

HE ER

special duty to admit one to the bar
this stenographer does not often climb.
But he gets good wages as il is. Paid
well by his employer he finds a good
deal to do on the side, in the form of
special work for attorneys who are un-
able to keep a stenographer regularly.
Another mine Of coin is the taking of
dispositions for outside attorneys. In
a great many instances attorneys COM
ing from other cities to take deposit
tions bring their own stenographers
along. but there are men in Lincoln
who have worked up a good reputation
among these legal men and get their
business in this state, going with them
from one part to another as the oc-
casion requires. This kind of work is
particularly profitable. Payment is
made by the page and it takes no very
long time to earn 500 on the side.
There was a time when the demand
was mostly for lady stenographers.
They are in big supply still but their
brothers get the best positions. One
reason why more men are not masters
of the art is that they feel unwilling
to enter a field which has heretofore
seemed SO exclusively that of the wo-
men. All the large houses prefer men.
however. because they want people
