volcano opened like a huge mouth. out Of

ran down the side of the mountain and at
first seemed TO menace the observatory.
This building. however. is protected in the
direction of the stream by a mound OF lava
200 feet high, which was thrown out dur

The eruption occurred without any warn

defamation or rain of ashes, nothing but

TRADES AND OTHER EMPLoYMENTs.

Time was when the proper advice to a
young man was to study, to educate him.
self and to make all sorts of sacrifices to
whether this be sensible advice in these
days. The average clerk in a wholesale.
factory or other business office. If he be
well educated and fairly proficient. earns
from $12 TO SIS per week. If he rise to the
dignity of a correspondent he may win as
much as $500 per year, but most of these
positions pay but $500 per year. The man
at $500 is getting $3.50 per week; the man
at $500 is getting a few cents over SIS per
week. In the professions there are fairly
large rewards, but more than 50 per cent
of the young men that start out to be law
yers or sdoctors fail to earn as much as
$500 per year during the first three years
of practice.
In the building trades, many of whose
leaders throughout the country are meet
according to locality and trade, from "a
cents per hour up to 20 cents, the former
figure being for hodcarriers in Indianapolis
and the latter for skilled settlers of fancy
stonework in Chicago. The educated clerk
works always nine hours day and as long
necessary when there is rush. The
young professional man works any time of
day or night, when he can get work. and
as long as the work lasts. If the hodcar-
rier works nine hours per day in Indian
apolis he gets $3.50 per week; if in Chicago
at 40 cents per hour. $2l6o-and tells his
foreman or employer what he thinks of
him whenever he feels like IL. In the
building trades requiring more or less skill
his earnings may run anywhere from these
figures UP to $40 per week for nine hours
per day.
Is this condition permanent? If so it is
time we were advising the young Absalom
along more modern lines. The thing for
him to do Is to quit school as early as pos
sible and take to a trade. There is less
money spent in preparation and more to be
earned

Committee on Territories.
VICTORIA, B. c., Aug. 26.-The revenue
cutter McCulloch dropped anchor in Vic
toria harbor at o'clock this morning from
Nome, having on board the subcommittee
of the Senate committee on territories The
party is all well and reports very pleasant
and profitable trip. The members of the
committee are evidently persuaded that
Alaska should have a delegate in Congress,
but probably are not prepared to make
him elective. The construction of national
highway from Valdez to Eagle by govern
ment aid seems to be regarded with favor.
1t is believed, too, that the building OF
a wagon road through the interior from
the coast will stimulate the development
of the country to such an extent as to
hasten materially the time when private
capital will construct railroad over prac-
tically the same. route. The committee
also seem to favor taking practical steps to
perpetuate the Salmon fisheries by having
the government establish hatcheries to be
supported by taxes levied on the fisheries
according to output.
The committee spent the day here, going
to Seattle this afternoon, where its members
will start for home.

POLES WANT REPRESENTATION.


NEW YORK, Aug. 26-Documents have
been received here from William d. Croke
private chamberlain to Pope Plus X, relat-
ing to the endeavors that are being made to
secure for the Polish population in the
United States representation of their ma
tionality in the American hierarchy. This
action opens again the controversy which
caused so much friction in 1900 concerning
the Italian, Slovak, Lithuanian and Bohem-
ian representation.
Chamberlain Croke says the presence in
Rome of the Rev. Wenceslaus Kurszka,
rector of st. Wenceslaus, Ripon Wis :
deputy of the Catholic Polish congregations
of the United States, is to obtain for the
Catholic Poles this representation. The APP
plication, il is stated, urged the appoint
ment of a Polish bishop. though they would
be satisfied for the time being with vicar
generals.
''Out of fourteen cardinals concerned the
deputies have seen eleven" the communi-
cation says, "and they have been welcomed
and gratified with substantial agreement I'm
each, and the matter will Immediately be
taken up by the new Pope"

All laboring men. whether members OF
unions or net. should rejoice over the con-
viction of walking delegate Parks and his
severe sentence. His methods OF extorting
money from employers or of calling strikes
when his demands were not acceded to
showed him TO be unfit to represent any
body of honest men. He not only held
up employers. but disregarded the inter-
longed in order TO promote his personal
and selfish ends. He discreditsd labor, yet,
curiously enough. many members OF his
union still remain friendly to him.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2s-Morris eros, an
assistant in an English-avenue butcher
shop, has received legacy of $4,000 from

did not learn the mans name for some
time, and supposed the incident had been
forgotten.
