which unlocked all these doors 10 him, hut il

and his industry and determination which have
made him one of the foremost men in American

One of the best ways to get into the govern

in the departments at Washington for COM

Stenography has created new occupation for
women, for which they are especially fitted.
and although tens Of thousands of girls have
entered the field, the supply of competent Office
assistants has never exceeded the demand.

the 10's OF the last century. women were rarely

A GREAT FIELD FoR WoMEN.

Salaries paid TO women who are competent
Stenographers and typeWritprs are so much
higher than they could earn in stores and shops
for longer hours and more fatiguing work that
one can hardly wonder at the rush Of young
women TO the shorthand schools. While il is
generally necessary to start at from ST 70 s.

capable girl is probably between 81 and SIS

much higher remuneration. and there is at least

The coveted stenographic posts are those at

LARGE INCOMES.

Some of the law reporting firms have in

many lawyers of high standing While the
salaries OF the official reporters at Washington
but $4,000 year. they earn great deal of
extra money reporting meetings OF committees.
etc. and they probably make from $100U0 to
BIS. 600 year. One Of the largest stenographic
fees is said to have been paid TO Frank r Hanna
for reporting the proceedings of the committee
at the time OF the anthracite coal investigation
a. few years ago, and may be placed at $4,000,
although firms. with several men engaged on the
case have not infrequently received even greater
sums.
Fears were expressed at one time by the more
timid members OF the stenOgraphic profession
that the development of the phonOgraph would
eliminate the Stenographer and replace him (and

who could sit at the machine hour after hour
and transcribe the letters which had been cic-
fafed into the phonograph. Although talking
machines have been introduced into many bUsI-

From the standpoint of mental discipline ste
rography is entitled to a place among those
branches which usually appear in the cuTrIcula
of educational institutions. This is the verdict
of many men of the highest culture who pos
sessing also a knowledge of shorthand. are com
petent to cpeak While general recognition or
the commercial value of shorthand is accorded
to it. few outside the ranks of professional
stenographers have thought of il save as mere
adjunct to the business office YET it VIII read
lily be that there grounds for the con-
tention that shorthand is entitled to a higher
place than has generally been given TO It
higher, in fact than most Of its enthusiastic
followers have ever claimed for it-Since the
benefcent effect upon the mind Of a STUDY
which requires close application, good mem
DRY. a quick ear sharp eye and an alert IN
teIligence can hardly be oyerestimated- DOUBT
less the great commercial utility of stenogra-
ply has prevented a more general recognition
Of its real value in the development OF the mem

MENTAL ALERTNEss DEMANDED.

While mastery of the basic principles OF short
hand requires but the memorization Of a few
strokes and few rules, to acquire high speed
the stenographer must carry in his mind for
instant use scores Of word signs ana abcreVl-
ations. When familiar matter is being dictated
the work is largely mechanical and it IS possible
to write rapidly and accurately without paying
much attention 10 the speaker: but If the mat

and was more frequently the case before the
invention Of the phonograph, to turn the steno-
graphic notes over to some one else to be type
written.
In the stenographic field. as in all others
there IS much crOwding at the bottom. but
plenty Of at the top. Notwithstanding the
army Of stenographers graduated annually 10y
the business schools Of the country, there are
probably few, If any. competent stenographers
seeking employment, and the demand has been
so great that even incompetent stenographerS
have been caught in the tide and borne on TO a
much greater measure Of success than they had
any reason to expect

ELEvATING THE PROFESSION.

In the last few years the shorthand schools
Of the country have done much to elevate the
standaI # the profession While at first little
required of the pupil who entered and
little instruction was given outside Of actual
shorthand work. pupils mastering the keyboard
Of the typewriter without any idea Of correct
lingering and without even a rudimentary
knowledge of the mechanism of the machine.
there is now increasing tendency TO insist
upon a thorough knowledge of grammar and
spelling and the best schools do not encourage
pupils to enter until they have completed the
high school. They are also taught to repair
minor defects in their machines. at least to
recognize where the trouble lies when some
thing goes wrong TO handle the mmeograph.
copying press and filing cabinet and to perform
such duties might be expected Of a general
office assistant. The question. What becomes
of the pins2" is not One-half so interesting as
that Of what becomes Of the stenOgrdpheTs.
The number Of places throughout the country
which may be classed as stenographic falls very
far short of the number of young men and
women who have taken more or less complete
courses in sten0graphy during the last few
years. The answer Is, Of course. that the ste
nographer of yesterday Is the junior assistant Of
to-day and the manager Of tomorrow.

relief and much rejoicing when word
came from Mr.. Charles Bostian's
lawyers at Taylorville that the case
had been mol pressed on account OF
lack of evidence and Mr.. Bostian was
a free man again and on his way to
his home and family. 1t will be re-
called te newspaper readers that
some six or eight months ago Mr.. G.
L. Bostian was lodged in the Newton
Jail to await trial for the alleged
murder Of John Childers Of Taylors-
vile who was found dead in a hog
pasture near his home nearly Is
years ago. Mr.. W. C. Feimster was
engaged at once to defend Mr.. Bos-
tian and has not failed ever since to
declare the mans innocence. AT the
court house the case was net even,
called. Sufficient evidence was lack
ing to make oat a bill against the
man, and thus it is after all these
DAYS and months of horror and sus-
pense in the county Jail Mr.. Bostlan
is at home in the bosom of his family.

Zolly C. Church son of Mr.. T. L.
Church a prosperous merchant Of
Ready Branch 13 miles from Wilkes
boro. The suicide lived in the same
neighborhood. The ifeless body Of
Church was found about 10 o'clock
dangling fro ma rope suspended from
a joist in the barn. The family miss
ed him about g O'Clock and began 9
search for him. He was cold in death
when found. Church was about 80
years old and is. survived by a wife
and several children. About two
years ago he attempted to commit
suicide and cremate his family by
%saturating a portion of the house with
oil and setting fire to it. He intend
ed to be burned up in the flames. Tho
fire was discovered in time to thwart
his purpose. 1t was then discovered
that Church was mentally unbalanced
and he was sent to the State Hospi-
tai at Morganton for treatment. He
was discharged as cured about a year
and a half ago. The motive for his
rash act is that he was again attack
ed by the malady.

N. Y. O. RAILWAYS BANKRUPT.
Two Receivers Appointed by Judge
Lacombe-S26 600, 600 Deficit.


New York City.-The New York
City Railway Company, the lessee of
nearly all the surface lines in Man
haitian and the Bronx, went into the
hands of receivers on an application
made before Judge Lacombe, in the
United States, Circuit Court, on be-
half of two of it's creditors, the Penn
syIvania Steel Company and the Deg
non Contracting Company. In grant
ing the application Judge Lacombe
appointed two receivers, Adrian H.
Joline and Douglas Robinson. The
receivers, under order of the Court,
were to file bonds of $250,U00 EACH
The report made by the company in
March, 1907, showed liabilities OF
$37, 1000, 600 in round figures and a
deficit of 100000. That would
have left the assets of the company
SIS, 900. Since then the COM
pany has admitted a deficit Of $10,-
900, 900. A readjustment of the sched-
uIe OF liabilities and assets shows
a deficit of almost SIS, 600, GOO, which
would reduce the assets to about
$12, 900.

Observation-Disclosures, N. Y
Samuel Sloan, one of the best known
and oldest railroad officials in this
country, died at his summer home at
Garrison-on-the-Hudson. For nearly
fifty years Mr.. Sloan had been assoc
ciated with railroading in this coun-
try, Although ninety years old, he
was still active and kept up his inter-
est in his work until a short time be-
fore his death. His business interests
were very large.
Samuel Sloan, for three decades
one of the country's most celebrated
railroad men and an associate of Jay
Gould, Russell Sage and other indus
trial giants, was born on Christmas
Day, 1917, at Lisburn, within seven
miles of Belfast, Ireland. His par
ents. like many Of the people in the
North of Ireland, were Scotch Pres
