How French Priests Earn a Living.


Some Of the clergy have taken to poul-
try rearing; others breed rabbits. The
parish priest of Labourgade in the Tarn
and Garonne. has already earned a repu-
tation for his jams and jellies Many
priests have become workmen The parish
priest of La Ponnonie is a turner. an
other in Averdon. in the Loire ct Cher.
mends bicycles and sewing machines
The parish priests of Mayet de Mon
taSne, in the Allier, and of Serriera. in
Corsica, manufacture acetylene lamps.
and the priest who officiates in the parish
church of Marriages, in the Mouse. is a
working locksmith. One Of the industries
most generally adopted by the clergy is
that Of watch and clockmaker Seven
parish priests are already so employed
The parish priest of Cavier, in the, Gard,
Is tailor. and his colleague in Negron,
IN the lndre ct Loire. is an upholsterer.
a dozen others knit stockings and waist
coats, While the priest of Hericourt, in
tne Haute Saone, has become printer A
certain number of priests are book
Dinoers. and many are photographers.
Wo parish priests-one Of St. Paul. in
the Disc. and another OF Magnilles Reig-
ners, in the Vendee-are artists the
former painting pictures and the second
using the SculptOr'S chiSel.
These priest workmen have formed an
association for the defense of their in
terests, and it will be curious to see from
what quarter the attack will be made. OF
all the cries that were raised against the
clergy, and still more against religious
women in France, the most vociferous
and the most generally urged. even by
practicing Catholics, was that which ac-
cused them of competing unfairly with
laymen and laywomen in trades and traf-
fcs. Now that they are no longer salared
by the state that grievance can hardly
survive; yet II is among the little ironies
of life that the deprivation of their
stipends forces the clergy into that very
competition which was formerly counted
among their offenses.

an old man in years. but he enjoyed the
return to the excitement of war and was
in charge of the American army when j,
there was the least bit of talk about
war. the old warrior declared that while
he preferred peace he would resign his

Gen. Sherwood's Career.
Gen. Sherwood has been out of the
House longer than Gen. Keifer, but prom.
ises to enjoy the scene of former labors
Sherwood was born in Duchess county
New York. but went to Bryan, Ohio, as a
young man. He started in at the law, but
preferred the field of journalism and
started TO publish a county paper He
was elected probate judge, but resigned
to enter the Union army as a private. In
few months he was made a lieutenant
and kept on winning promotions until at
the close of the war he came home q
brigadier general. Again he took up
newspaper work. but was soon called into
political life. He headed the state ticket
do LIZ lOT secretary OF state
and served two terms. Then came his
election to Congress as republican in
1872 and he had wished to continue in
legislative life. Defeated for renoalina-
ton he left the party and was given a
good county office by the democrats. Since
then. however. he has had few honors in
politics and his latest election to Con-
gress came as the result OF a revolt
against the boss rule of the republicans in
Toledo. Gen. Sherwood won the election
n II, 'fSo,, RI to-,
Jorlty and at once announced that ne
would not ask another nomination.
He is now seventy-two years old but
like Gen. keifer is remarkably vigorous
and will be heard from ere his latest term
in Congress ends. He is especially the
friend of the old soldiers and has prom
ised to introduce a bill giving every old
veteran of the civil war a pension of a
dollar day. Not long ago Gen. Sher-
wood urged the giving of a pension to a
crippled constituent and was angry that
the pension Office here in Washington
would not grant the claim on the ground
that total disability was not proven by
the submitted testimony. Then Sherwood
got busy and brought the claimant to
Washington. Taking him to the pension
commissioners Office Sherwood asked:
why hasn't this pension been grant
ed?"
The answer was that total disa bility
seemed to be lacking according to the
papers in the case. Then Sherwood called
for the old soldier to come into the COM
missioners presence.
Look at this man." said Sherwood rs
he not totally disa bled?"
The commissioner was forced 20 adm I
that such was the case and a pen sion was
granted at once. This tale got to The gen.
erals district and now he is sorry for it,
Every crippled soldier in northwestern
Ohio is calling at his Toledo office asking
to be given a free trip to Washington that
they may have their claims allowed as in
the case of their comrade.

WYOMING OIL FOR FUEL.
NORTHWESTERN TO USE OIL ON
ITS LOCOMOTIVES.
NEW INVENTION is PRACTICAL
Northwestern Company Negotiating
for Purchase Of Large Tracts Of oil
Bearing Land Near Lander and
Doualas-Dallas Extension Finished.

pOuNldS-DdlldS
In pursuance of their determination
to use oil for fuel in the near future
on the Omaha-Wyoming branches, an
Omaha report says that Northwestern
officials are steadily negotiating for
the oil fields in that state repre-
sentative of coal mines near Lost
Springs and Douglas, Wyo., has been
in Omaha for some time, comforting
with the Northwestern officials,
Messrs. Walters and Mcfarland.
Ever since the first test of the oil
burning locomotive, in which 1t was
demonstrated that the new invention
is practical, the Northwestern has
been steadily gobbling up the oil terri
tory in Wyoming, first the famous
| Henderson wells In the northern part,
from which a pipe line is being run
| to Hudson, and now from the Douglas
district.
The mines about Lost Springs are
rich with coal and the geological sur
vey of the United States asserts there
| is undoubtedly an unlimited amount of
oil to be found in the same territory.
Consequently an eight-mile extension
is being built to that district and soon
several wells are to be sunk.
A Northwestern official in Omaha is
quoted as having said:
"The Northwestern Is after all the
oil it can get and doubtless intends to
operate oil burning locomotives in the
future. Already 1t has obtained SO
many wells that great deal of oil has
had to be burned because of lack OF
tanks"
The decision of the Wyoming and
Northwestern to use oil on the line
between Casper and Lander has in
creased the activity in oil develop
ment in that state also, especially II
the Dry Creek field. Outfits are al
ready at work in that section sinking
| wells and a spur will be built to then
, from the main line, which is but ter
) miles distant. The first oil deliveries
5 are expected within sixty days.
