The Graduates Choice of Work.

From the Denver Republican.
 The always interesting query, What will the collge men do after gradua- tion?" has been answered by class sta tisticans. according to reports in the New York Herald from all the great institutions of learning.
 Of the 1000 young men who will be graduated from Harvard and Yale 300 from each institution-the great majority will enter the professions The law claims the greatest percen- tage, and then comes medicine. teach ing. civil engineering, etc. Journalism claims large huber, as newspaper work Is always appealing to many for the reason that 1t requires natural gifts rather thar special training and because 1t offers n stepping stone to those fascinating by-ways of the short story and novel.
 It is an encouraging sign of Young America. this entering professions on which the sign "Overcrowded" has lon been hung. Every year statistics are quoted to show many young men are starving in law and medicine. but apparently the pIucky young fellows who have set their hearts on careers in some profession arc not to be dis couraged. If the odds are against them, so much more cheerful the work of fighting, and they manfully plug" through their studies, take their diplo- mas and sally forth to fight a real mans fight against the handicap of competition.
 Harvard and Yale. in sending the majority of their men into the profess sions. are not alone by any means. Every minor university in the coun- try Is doing the same thing. and the result is an annual reinforcement of the professions which does much to keep the spirit of American enterprise up to the mark.

AMERICANS ARE BRIGHT.
Good Crop Reports Have Effect on Lon
 don Market.

London. June 26.-Throughout the the past week business on the stock exchange remained at a very low ebb and there was little change in the situation since the last weekly report though there prevailed a growing con- fidence that business would improve steadily and would without sensational features,
 As far as the week Is concerned Americans formed the only bright spot showing an improvement which was based on the good crop reports and on other favorable indications.
 The Japanese new issue remained dull owing to too-heavy bull account, which was built up in conse- quence of repeated Japanese victor les. Russian bonds had a sharp rally after the sensational dash of the vladivostok squadron and its escape without injury.

 Prison.

Centre. June 26.-(Special "A skill full attempt at escape from confinement was made by N. NJ. Adams. a prisoner in the county jail, Friday night, which came near being successful.
 Parties in the street about Il o'clock heard an unusual noise at the jail and upon investigation found that Adams was attempting to saw through one of the rods that screen the jail windows. The prisoner had been confined in a cage in the building and gained egress from this by cutting sections of the heavy bars that composed 1t. using highly tempered steel saws.
 How these saws were procured is not known, though there seems to have been at least five of them. the prison CT using one when apprehended and fragments of four others which had been broken and thrown aside.
 When discovered Adams seemed com pleteIy exhausted. his clothing being wet thoroughly with perspiration, showing the energy with which he had worked

SITUATION DUBIOUS
MINERS AND OPERATORS STILL
 WIDE APART.
Many Are Pessiuiistlc and . Long Lay- on from Work May Resu1t--Must
 Decide by Thursday.

Birmingham. June 26.-(Special,)- The propositions of the United Mine Workers of America and the Furnace Operators Association for a wage con tract effective July 1st are wide apart and there are some who do not believe that the two interests will be able to get together by Thursday evening, when the present contract expires. This makes the situation little du- bious and many are pessimistic. How ever. the scale committee of the two organizations will meet again in the morning and make effort to arrive at a common ground to report back to the miners convention which will recon vene on Wednesday morning at II o'clock
 There are many who believe that the operators will concede a little to the miners and that the miners will con cede little to the operators. The present contract. which the miners de- sire to renew, practically, is on a slid ing basis, ranging from AT 1-2 cents per ton to 57 1-2 cents per ton. The operators scale is also on a sliding basis and ranges from 40 cents to 55 cents per ton.
 The average selling price of pig iron is the base. It is believed by many that a difference will be struck and 45 cents minimum will be reached with the maximum remaining as 1t is now 57 1-2 cents. Miners heard expressing themselves after the operatorss prop osition was made public intimated that the best they could do would be to re- new the present contract.
 It is believed that when the conven- tion reconvenes on Wednesday the scale committee will report contract between the two submitted by the two interests. Then the miners will return to their respective homes to permit the unions to vote on its acceptance or rejection. This will mean at least one weeks suspension of work.
 So far the commercial coal operators have not participated in the negotia- tions for a contract. It Is believed that several of the commercial opera tors will be able to make a temporary contract, based on the final outcome of negotiations with the furnace oper- ators' association, the larger corpora tions and producers of the greater amount of coal in the district.
 The miners are in good temper, but determined on making a reasonable contract. The suspension of work will be quiet affair but will have some effect on the trade conditions of the dis trict.
 The scale committee appointed by the miners and operators are now thrashing out the scale offered by the miners but they have not adopted any section thereof.
 The suspension of work in the coal sections, where union miners are em- ployed will not disturb the pig iron production any, as the companies have made preparations for some weeks for a full supply of coal and coke and have large quantities thereof on hand

UNION BAPTIST SERVICE.
Rev. Weston Burners Thanksgiving
Sermon at Calvary Church

The congregations of the several churches
OF the Baptist denomination in the District
united for a Thanksgiving service at the
Calvary Baptist Church this morning at IL
o'clock. For several years past it has been
the custom for the members OF the Baptist
churches to meet together on Thanksgiving
day for a union service and have the min
lister from one OF their churches preach the
sermon. The plan was so successful from
the first that the union meetings have be-
come an institution IN the church, and II
would probably be difficult now for those
in authority to change to the old custom
of individual services for each church, II
they so desired. However. the members of
the various congregations are not likely to
call for a change. for they appear well sat
isfied with things as they are. The bring
ing together of all the Baptists of the city
in a celebration of the national feast day
has centered their attention on those things
In which they have common interest, and
so IL is only natural that the collection that
Is made during the service should go 10
a worthy charity In which all of the
churches have hand. Therefore 1t has
been the custom to devote the offerings of
T. thanksgiving service to the Baptist Home
in the District. and each year the increas-
ing interest In the services can be gagged
by the increase in the amount of the col
lection.
Calvary Baptist Church was more than
well filed when the service began at IL
o'clock this morning. The pastors of all
the Baptist churches in the city We're
seated on the pulpit platform and the choir of
Calvary Church furnished the music. which
had been especially selected for the oeca-
sion.
Rev. DIR. Samuel H. Greene. pastor of
