ELECTRIC LIGHTS OUT
ON ISLAND LAST MIGHT

Automobile lamps, bicycle lamps,
lanterns, tallow candles, in fact any
thing that would give ONE kind of
a light were pressed into service last
night in T~ottenville and various parts
of the island, when the electric
lights in business places and resi-
dences were out. Complaint is be-
ing heard in all parts of the island
because of the failure of the Rich
mond Light and Railroad Company
mat supplies the entire borough of
With light to properly
serve the Borough Of Richmond dur
ing the past several weeks. The COM
mercial circuit hat supplies stores
and private residences was out of
commission from early in the e
ing while the street lights that the
city of New York pays an enormous
sum to maintain, both in arc and in
candescent service, went out at 8
o'clock and remained SO for several
hours. Just what the trouble was
could not be ascertained. All efforts
to call the power house on the tele-
phone at Livingston was without
avail. 1t was learned later that the
operator at the power house would
not answer because everybody was
calling to find out why they were get
ting no light. When the police of the
99th precinct station, T~ottenville,
tried to notify the power house Of a
transformer afire in Main street,
Tottenville, the trolley office of the
concern had to transmit the message.
During the past week or two peo-
pie on this end of the island have
been much Inconvenience by the
lights being out several hours at a
time in a night. There is no gas
plant here, which puts the people
to much trouble to getting out
whatever sort of light they can find
to press into service until the cleo
tricity is turned on again.

FOUGHT "lTHCOPPEERHEAD
FOUND IN A FEED BAG

Scores of children on their way to
Public School No. Is on Grand street,
Tompkinsville, ran to the building
screaming yesterday afternoon when
they saw two men fighting with a
copperhead.
George Werner, a truck farmer at
Bulls Head, who peddles his pro-
duce at Tompkinsville, was putting
the feed bag on the second horse of
his team when he caught sight of
the deadly snake among the oats.
He dropped the bag with a yell.
John Monohan, foreman at the
city stables, outside whose home on
Swan street the team was pulled up,
ran out. Laughing at the fear of
his friend, Monohan dived his hand
into the bag and grabbed the snake.
With a yell he tried to drop it
when he got a sight, but the snake
coiled itself round his wrist.
AS Monohan danced around, shak-
ing his arm, Werner struck the
snake with his whipstick and killed
it. The snake was two feet long.

DISTRIBUTION
OF GRADUATES
Original Purpose of Colleges
Has Undergone Change.

The original purpose of American
colleges was mainly to train men for
the ministry, but SO it is no longer.
Harvard, founded chiefly to educate
clergymen, now gives to this profess
sion barely two per cent. of her
graduates; Yale, begun under SINH
lar impulses, nov contributes a
meager three per cent. This and
other interesting changes in the pro-
fessions favored by college gradu-
ates are described in a bulletin by
Bailey B. Burritt on Professional
Distribution of University and Col
.lege Graduates" just issued by the
United States Bureau of Education.
The decline In. the numbers going
into the ministry has been accompa-
MED by a rise in the professions of
teaching, law, and business. All
three have been more or less con-
sistent gamers at the expense of the
ministry.
When the older colleges were es-
tablished boys who expected to be
the business men of the community
rarely gave much thought to high
err education" That was for the
Learned professions" most often,
in the early days, the ministry. 1t
is only of recent years that men with
business careers ahead of them have
taken advantage of college opportu-
mites.
At Harvard the ministry yielded
the leadership to law after the Rev
dictionary War, and law remained
the dominant profession of Harvard
graduates until 1880, when business
took the lead. At Yale the ministry
competed successfully with law until
after the middle of the nineteenth
century, when law took the ascend
ency and kept it until 1895, being
then displaced by business. At the
University of Pennsylvania one
fourth of the graduates used to go
into the ministry; now about one
fiftieth do so. Oberlin College,
founded with strong UNCONVENTIONAL
tendencies, shows the same story of
the decline in numbers of men going
into the ministry, At the University
of Michigan, out of an army of over
5000 graduates, only 1873 have be-
come ministers.
Aside from their contributions to
the clergy, most of the universities
and colleges have had favorite pro-
fessions. At Columbia, Dartmouth,
and Michigan, for instance, it is law;
at Pennsylvania it is medicine; at
Oberlin, Wisconsin, and many others
particularly the coeducational insti-
buttons, it is teaching; while a few
of the universities, Brown, for tx
ample, have shown an impartial

most equally among four leading
professions.
A final summary of thirty-seven
representative colleges shows that

CAT ATTACKS
THREE PEOPLE

is killsd.

Running wild in Westerleigh, a
restricted residential section Of Sta
ten Island, a big grey cat, Monday
bit three persons and caused q stam-
pede of the school children before it
was dubbed to death.
The animal was strange to the
neighborhood and was first noticed
by the children of the public school
their way home. The cat darted
cross the path of the children two
or three times and then ran to a
tree and half way up the trunk.
There it stuck, sprawled out, glazing
at the boys and girls on their way
home.
Just as Anna Wrigley, six years
old, of No. 223 Dickie street, came
opposite the tree, the cat leaped on
her. The little girl saw only a
flash of grey coming and swung her
SCHOOL books to ward off the animal.
The cat struck the books and drop
pea tc the ground, but made a sec
ond spring and bit the child on the
left leg. The little girl screamed
and ran up the steps OF her home,
While the cat disappea ed.
Half an hour later Gustave Koff,
who lives in Waters avenue, was
walking home alone when the cat
scurrled from across the street and
jumped for him. Mr.. Koff is more
than seventy years old and could not
protect himself. When the cat sank
it's teeth in his left ankle he fell over
in a faint, and was found lying in
the roadway by his neighbors, who
carried him home.
Ten minutes later David H. Cortel-
you, Jr., ten years old, son of a dec
orator, living at No. 220 Livermore
street, started up the steps Of his
home just as a big grey cat walked
onto the porch and sat down. 1t
was the same cat.
When the boy reached the steps
the feline intruder made a spring for
him and bit him on the left arm.
The boy beat the cat off but not be-
fore he had been bitten again on
the left leg. Mr.. Cortelyou, hearing
his sons cries, raj out with a club
and killed the cat.
DR.. N. D. Chapman, of Port Rich
mond, cauterized the wounds of all
three victims, and the cats body will
be turned over to the Board of
Health tomorrow for tests to see ii
the animal had rabies.
