The Ait E.chnnge has this to say with tegaul to women In ait work: "Statistics are not to be triibted abso lutely, but some iccenlly published fig ures showing tho invasion or. the pio fesslonal field by women afford the thinking ones among us fond for ic flcctlou. It Is stateu by those who de vote their energies to guthei lag such Information that 11,000 women In the United States follow urt as a profes sion. In no other piofesslon aro so many women employed, except in mu sic, whose followers, as vocalists and Instrumentalists, number 35,000 Twenty-eight hundred men are engaged in literature anu 890 in lournallsm. Be bldes these, there are 600 employed In dramatic authorship. The actresses number 4,000. Contemplation of these figures will nfford some Idea of the keen competition for employment be tween men and women In our cities. It will also point to tho necessity for better equipment among women seek ing employment in their chosen field. It Is a recognized fact among those who come much In contact with pro fessional workers that few of them are adequately trained for the work they would undertake. The superficiality of the study and tho total unfitness of the average woman for her task aro enough to startlo ono who conies In contact with her for tho first time. Her assurance, too, which usually accom panies Ignorance, Is so amazing that few persons have tho temerity to un deceive her, so she goes on In her blind ness, doing herself and those whom sho would Instruct more injury than good. It would bo a safe estimate that, out of tho 11,000 women following art as a profession, not more than 1,100 are properly equipped and trained for the work. If so small a percentage ex ists when our art schools are so good, what shall bo said of those following muslo? Doubtless not more than 5 per cent, of these 35,000 arc even fairly qualified."

Solemn and Impressive Ceremonies Conducted by Bls'hop Potter, of Now York, Assisted by Bishop Talbot and tho Clergy Who Wero in Attendanco tit the Episcopal Convention Just Closed Bishop Pottor'a Father Officiated in a Sim ilar Capacity in Old St. Stephen's. St Stephens' Protestant Episcopal church, Wllkrs-Harie, wherein wero held tho sessions of the Central Penn sylvania convention, just closed, was dedicated yesterday morning with elaborate ceremonies conducted by Right Rev. Henry C Potter, D. D., bishop of tho diocese of New Yoik, as Fisted by Ulshop Talbot, of this dio cese, and Rev. Dr. Jones, pastor of the chinch and many other prominent clergymen who were In attendance at tho convention. Tho cervices began at 10 o'clock and wero solemn nnd Imptesslve. A pro cession In which wero tho vestrymen and vested choir of tho church, the visltini? clergy, the officiating clergy nnd Hlshops Potter and Talbot, filed out of the patlsh building and Into the church and took their respective places, Dlshop Talbot chanting tho twenty-fourth Psalm as tho procession moved up the al3le. Then followed the ritualistic eero monles preset Ibed tor the occasion and nt their conclusion Bishop Potter urcached the dedication sermon. His address to tho membpts of the parish was as follows: D1SHOP POTTER'S ADDKKS3. My brethren of this ancient and hon ored palish, I corgratulate you with all my heart upon tho record of that pnst which lies behind you today I rejoice with j oil In the long bede-roll of saints nnd sonants of (Joil who whether In tilts ministry or out of It have wrought hero and worshipped here. I rejoice with you that this church stands unmoved nnd substantially unchanged, upon lis ancient and stubln splrltuul foundations, tint the prayers of our fathers nre still uplifted here; nnd thnt His Word, writ ten nnd preached, will contlnuo to bo heard and His holy sacraments to be nd mlnistewd with the sacred walls. Hut what, now, of your future? With what convictions must we turn our faces toward th.it, and In whnt temper must we deal with It? To those questions there Is a three-fold answer. A chutch exists, first of nil, for worship, ami In recogniz ing thnt fact, wo aie bound to recognlzo that. It Its faith Is Catholic Its worship should bo marked by tho notes of that Catholicity The tleformatlon sentiment stripped our mother Church of England of much that was a pait of Its most ancient Inheritance The revolt was nat ural and inevitablo; but hi many, direc tions and with tragic dcstructlveness, as In the cuse of the Puritan lconoolasms and tho absolute denudntlons of the So ciety of Prlcnds, It went too far, and It destrojed too much Forty years ago Bishop Potter's father preached the sermon at the con sociation of the old Stephen's church. BEAUTIFUL STRUCTURE. The new church Is a most beautiful stone structuto and cost unwntds of J100.000. It Is the successor of the pic turesque old St. Stephen's which was destroyed by fire, Chiistmas morning, 1S96. The new church was immediate ly begun and on May 4, 1S97, the cot'' ner-stone was laid with elaborate coie inonles. One year exactly from the dat of tho lite, the doors of the new chuieh wero thrown open, and now. In n .'tile moro than n year and a half, It Is dedi cated. AVhen it is known that under the canons of the Episcopal church the building could not be dedicated while theto was as much as a cent of debt on it, tho cause for pride of the St. Stephen's congregation is evident SMOKE HOUSE BURNS. Was Used Yesterday and Some Left over Embers Caused the Fire. Tho interior of the large "smoke house" owned and used by Guthelnz, Welsser & Krayer, meat merchants, and located In the iear of tho store at 618-620 Cedar avenue, was damaged by file which broko out at 1.30 o'clock this morning. An alarm was turned In from box fil, corner of Cedar avenue and Alder street. The Centurys and Neptunes, of South Scranton, and the Phoenix company, of the central city, respond ed. The flames were, extinguished by the Chemicals. The damago amounts to a few dollais. The house was used jesterday and It Is supposed some em bers weio left burning and &et fire to the building.

Tho reason that tho kindergarten la tho best method of training the young mind la because It entertains while In structing and the reason why Buffalo Bill's Wild West Is the most successful and popular of entertainments Is for exactly the same reasons. The scenes representing the early settlement of the western part of our country nre enter taining and are object lessons of great valua of giving life and motion to those things we bavo read of In tho histories of our school days. The students of anthropology Jiever saw a congtegallon of people soA'aried and diverse as is gathered from the four quarters of tho globe In this one nreno, and at the same time tho valuo of the study Is en banced by the exhibitions of the vari ous modes of life In peace, In war and in their pastimes as- given by theso people. All the features of tho Wild "West and Congress of Rough Rldcra that have appealed so successfully to tho public in the past will be retained, and ao they have been improved upon greatly blnce last seen here, they will in many respects appear almost new. The show will be seen here Monday. THEY WILL CONFER TODAY Viewers on the Opening of Wyo ming Avenue to Meet Officials of tho Delaware and Hud son Company. Today, W. W. Davis, Ueorge Okell and Carl McKlnney, the viewers ap pointed by court to assess the damages for opening Wyoming nvenue, will have n conference with officials of the Delaware and Hudson company to finally adjust the terms on which tho company will remove its tracks from the line of the proposed extension. H Is understood the company Is dis posed to vacate the street for the ac tual cost of securing a now right of way and the labor of moving Its tracks. It Is willing also to make due allow ance for the benefit that will accrue from the straightening of Its line, the Increased facilities that will be af forded about Its freight house nnd the increased business that will come to its road fiom tho Improvement of the ii venue. Thl disposition on the part of the company Is conditional upon the man ner In which the viewers deal with the other property holders whose prop erties have to be condemned. As a rule persons regard tho entrance upon their property by a corporation, and especially a municipality, as a sort of open door to fortune. This In stance Is no exception. Exhorbltnnt prices are demanded and the chances are that the viewers will have no easy time In effecting reasonable compro mises, If Indeed they can compromise at all In most of the cases. Realizing this the railroad company declined to make terms until tho view ers had arrived at a conclusion as to the basis of settlement with the other property holders. The viewers havo about completed their estimates and will today deal with the company. On the outcome of till1 conference depends) In a great measure the carrying out of the Improvement. If the expenses can be kept below $40,0(ii It Is likely that councils will give the project its approval. If It costs $60 000 as the appropriation asked for would seem to contemplate. It Is safe to &ay tho appropriation will be wanting for some time at least. CAUSES MANY WRECKS. Quartz Sand of Lake Superior Makes Compasses Treacherous. From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. How a snip's compass could lead her master astiay has been one of the mysteries of Lake Superior for years, but It is probably explained now by ono of tho vesselmen in the only way that seems consistent. One of his own boats suffered a week ago at a time when ho knew his compa&bes were light. His ship was heading for Du luth, and for safety was two points bouth of her course, which should have taken her to the entry at Superior, seven miles south fiom the harbor entrance nt -.uluth. Without warning the vessel grated on a beach and stopped. An investigation showed her to bo on a sanubank at the mouth of the Knife river, twenty miles east from Duluth. She was heading directly up the liver, almost duo north, but the compass still held two points south of the courso for Duluth. The boat had, by the charts, turned almost a right angle. Within 15 feet of either sldo lock reefs ran out into tho lake, on which sho would have cut herself to pieces. To the southerly sldo, where a trilling less deviation would havo tak en the vessel, lay an Island of rock that would havo driven her bow back to her engines and hunched her up Into a ball. As it was, a tug pulled her off, and a survey showeel not a dollar of damage. Indeed nothing Is publicly known of the fortunate acci dent till this writing. Many such a casualty Iia3 occuireu from time to t'nio, ar.u the ilver on which this boat brought up has been tho scene of two or thiee groundings every season for years. Some of them have resulted luckily, others havo been total losses. The only expl nation for these ground ings anu deviations Is that a great bed of magnetic iron sand lies in the bed of the stream, covered by tho wash ings of ciuartz sand from the locks of tho lake. Tho same explanation probably ac counts for the lato disasters at other points on me north shore. Indeed, In a gathering of vessel captains In nn agent's ofllco In Duluth this week they discussed the lemarkablo abertatloas of compasses this lull, which every man had noticed far more than be fore in any year. During tho week one of the captains of one of tho great fleets, a man noted as the most careful and tho best man In tho line, who has not lost his company a cent in repair for years, found himself on tho north shoio and three points oft his course, though the compass was identical with Its Indication of every trip of the sea son. Ho got off without much loss, but tho fact was nono tho less re markable. How did he gett here, and what mado thv deviation? ii m Fame. Stranger This U Hlakeleyvllle, isn't It? Natlvo Yes.

A gentleman from Indiana county, who Is absolutely idlable, related a dog story the other day which would seem to Indicate that a dog can suffer keen remorse. "A few years ago," ho said, "I owned a fine, big mastiff, which I hail reared from puppyhood, and who was intelligent and faithful. He was extiemely good natured and seemed to exetclso the most consider ate care In playing with children or smaller dogs, not to hurt them. "When I had kept tho mastiff for several years I became tho possessor of a delicate little Italian greyhound. The mastiff treated him as ono of tho family and never abused him, but tho little greyhound considered himself a dog of superior breed and too nrlsto ciatlc to associate with the mastiff. He would snap and snarl at the mas tiff when ho came near, and when tho dogs wero fed tho little greyhound would attempt to drive the mastiff away. This continued for some time until one day, after the greyhound had eaten the quantum of food thrown to it, It ran up to the mastiff, snapped It on tho leg and attempted to tako Its food. The mastiff looked nt It for a second, and then, as if it had conclud ed that it was tlmo to teach tho Impu dent little greyhound a lesson, grab- O THE lor liitere The Fashion's Fire Sale.

When ho dropped it tho grey hound lay limp and lifeless. Ills neck had been broken. 'Brag,' that was tho mastiff's name, looked at the dead dog an If sincerely sorry for what It had done. Ho tried to mako him get up, and when tho little greyhound was taken oft niul burled, he went along and took great Interest in tho proceed ings. "Seeing thnt the mastiff was much disturbed over what ho had done, I spoko to him kindly, patted him on tho heael and tried to cheer him up, sup posing that he would forget nil about it In a few minutes. But 1 was mis taken. Tho dog slunk away nnd never returned. That was nearly three years ago and I have never heard of the mastiff since. I can ncrount for his actions In no other wny than that he was overwhelmed with remorse and shame for whnt he had done." " i.... Life of an Arab Woman. From Pearson's Weekly Many an Arab lady nnver leaves her house from tho tlmo she Is married until sho Is carried out to bo burled. A woman of tho middle class Is allowed more lib crty, and occasionally goes out for walks, accompanied, as a rule, by a servant. Tha poor creaturo is enveloped In masses of white dinpery, which makes her look like a walking bundle, and In front of her fa"o she arranges a large black scaif, em broidered with blue, red and white flow ers. It falls low In front, and even by holding up tho ends sho cannot see maro than a feot or two of tha rond boforo her. I often wonder tliat sho docs not get lun over when sho goes enit alone, for I am sure sho needs a dog to gMdo her quite as much as uny blind man. Ser vants iuid other women of the lower class wear pieces of black cropou wound tight ly round their faces, leaving Just u Flit for their eyes to peep through, nnd they are qually muffled up In whlto draperies. Seen from a distance they might bo men, with moE-ka or thick black beards, as In Arab countries It Is by no means easy to tell a man from a woman at first sight. Tho older and uglier a woman Is tho more prudish sho seems to bo about covering up her face, which, after all, Is rather considerate on her part. Even tho greater number of negresscs wear tho yashmak, but tho Hedouln women nover do. In deed, I am told that In tho Interior thero is ono Aiab trlbo whose men wejir veils and whose women go nbout with their fuces uncovered. Theso aro probably tho "new women" of Arabia.
