LAWYERS INCOMES ARE LOW
Only 80 Per Cent. Of the New York
Attorneys Make a Fair
Living.

The income Of the average New
York lawyer is no greater than that
of a patrolman or a tradesman's clerk,
according to figures complied by the
New York County Lawyers associa-
ton, which show that there are ap-
proximately 10000 lawyers In Greater
New York, or about one to every It's
inhabitants. This provides an average
of three or four clients to each lawyer.
Forty per cent. of all the New York
lawyers are having a struggle for ex-
~istence. and only 80 per cent. are MAX
ing "a fair living" About ten per
cent. are making large profits" 1t is
this ten per cent. and their large
profits" that tempt" the young man
with ambition. Most Of these young
fellows don't understand that they
would do much better to go into trades
or study scientific farming" avs the
It adds that OF the ten per
cent. among lawyers that are earning
large fortunes, by far the greater part
are men whose names seldom appear
in the papers. Conversely, many OF
the lawyers who are most talked about
are not earning large incomes.

Fine old Church Burned.

The old Church of st. Michael.
Honiton, Devon, England, which dated
from the fifteenth century, and was
one OF the finest pieces of architec-
ture in the county, was destroyed by
FIRE the other day. The tower and the
main walls are the only portions saved.
The church was built by Bishop Cour-
tenay, the naughty prelate" Of Shake
speare's Richard III. According to an
old legend 1t was originally intended
to erect the church at the foot of the
hill, but emissaries Of the Prince OF
Darkness willed It otherwise, and
when the builders commenced their
work, the stones placed In position
during the day were each night trans
ported to the top Of the hill. with the
result that the plan was changed.
