LONELIEST OF LIGHTHOUSES.
Tillamook Rock, on the Coast of Ore
gon, nnd Its Keeper.
I'rom tho Tcpcka (Kan.) Capital.
Tho highest point used by the llght
houso department of tho United States
government us a signal station Is it
precipitous rock in the northwestern
part of Oregon called Tillamook ltock.
Its great height and perilous situation
lend to make tho rock the most avoid
ed ono o tho government list, and it
is only after a long and careful search
that men are found who are willing to
go as keepers to tho station.
Tillamook ltock light station is in the
thirteenth lighthouse district, which
Includes the coast and rivers of Ore
gon, Washington and Alaska. It Is sit
uated in tho midst of the surging Pa
cific, with ninety feet depth of water
on all sides, at the gieat storm center
off Tillamook Head.
It Is eighteen miles south of the en
trance to the Columbia river, and one
mile southwest by half a mile west
from Tillamook Head, on the Oregon
coast. The water near Tillamook has
such a strong and uncertain current
that vessels unacquainted with tho
coast are warned not to attempt the
passage. Tho rock, which has a sum
mit of eighty feet above the sea level,
Is an irregular column of basalt, ap
parently separated from Tillamook
Head, on the mainland, by untold cen
turies of erosion prior to the days when
the sea was receding on the Pacific and
encroaching upon the land on the At
lantic. The reason for the dlfllculty in secur
ing keepers for Tillamook Is said to be
that a man not only risks his life In ac
cepting the position, but his reason. At
present a keeper and four assistants
are provided for the double purpose of
dividing the watches and mitigating
the awful isolation that tends toward
uiibeatlng the same face (of a man, of
course,) day in and day out for months
and years, amid the same wild scene
and in the same narrow treadmill of
labor, is irritating. It begets dislike
by its very annoyance of monotony. It
is so different when the fuce is that of
a woman a wife.
But the wife is not permitted to live
there. The keeper and his assistants
are cut off from all social ties. Tho
wild waste of water and fierce storms
of Tillamook forbid a woman's residing
on the rock.
Upon the east side Tillamook's sum
mit is forty feet wide, narrowing to Its
west bide for a distance of sixty feet,
and from that point' extending forty
feet further In a. sharp and abrupt
ledge, where It is only forty feet in
width. The rock is precipitous on all
sides, except the east, where it slopes
up at an angle of twenty degrees. Tho
summit, except the sharp ledge on the
west side, is inclosed all around its
ledge by a strong iron ratling. The
dwelling house Is in the center of the
summit. It faces to the east. It is a
stone and cement structure, held down
by great iion bolls. The stone tower
rests on the rock and shoots up from
the center of the dwelling. The luclos
ure for this wild sea-girt house con
tains snmc 7,000 square feet, or less
Hum two acres in area. The focal
plate of the liirht is l::ti fyet above sea
level. Yet this Pacilic ocean, when In
its angriest mood, outlines dashes its
waves against the plate glass inclosing
thu light and hurls gigantic! rocks high
above and drops them upon the homo
of those faithful but helpless guardians
of the storm-tossed mariner.
The keeper's dwelling is a bquare,
one-shiry building of stone for outer
walls, and brick, Iron and wood for In
terior, with rectangular extension for
the duplicate siren apparatus. The
light was first shown on February l,
ISM, the building having been begun
October si, 1S7II, nnd romploti-d under

thoroughly trained and cplendld body
of singers, sang "Praise the Lord"
while an offering for the bonelk 01" tho

The Thanksgiving sermon was de
livered by Rev. Dr. Robert F. V. Pierce.
D. D., pastor of the Penn Avenue Bap
tist church, whose graceful eloquence
has made him one of Scranton' lead
ing pulpit orators. Rev. Dr. Pierce
took as his topic "Ameri'-a in the
Twilight of Two Centurlts."
DR. PIERCE'S SER3IOX.
Dr. Pierce took as his text the vorsd,
"Hitherto hath the Lord helped us,"
and almost in the beginning of his
sermon had something to say regard
ing the question of the expansion of
this country into the far east. Said
he:
"Now by patriotic devotion we sit .is
a united family of states around ono
Thanksgiving board and our good host,
the Goddess of Liberty, has brought .1
few cholca islands of the sea to share
our love and fortunes. Expansion may
be lightly treated as a campaign hoo
doo, but American expansion niinn
the light of civilization, the hnnel if
philanthropy, the brain of education,
the brain of Industry and the heart of
Christianity.
"As some on'; has said with a mag
nanimity which will startle the world
we shall iu duo time give to our Cuba
and the other islands of the sea a
government by the people and of the
people and for the people, and beau
tiful nnd benefielent as we have at
home.
"With our national unity and great
ness there Is a national responsibility.
We must give to our own people and
to the world the largest liberty, tile
truest gospel and the grandest civili
zation. Tile century has brought a
great ethical advance In social evolu

NOT AN IDEAL
THANKSGIVING
THE DAY WAS GENERALLY OB
SERVED, HOWEVER.
There Was No Snow and tho Weather
Didn't Have a Tinge of Frost.
Theaters Were Crowded and All
Amusements Found Many Partici
pants Sunday School Children of
Penn Avenue Church Entertained.
Special Exorcises Held at the Res
cue Mission.
The climatic conditions yesterday
were not tho conditions which should
pros'nll on an Ideal Thanksgiving day,
that is to say there was no snow and
the mercury was not way down In thu
tube. Nevertheless, the day was ob
served with something of the usual
spirit. Nearly all of the shops, minus),
etc., wore closed for the day.
There were the general union chtlich
services In all parts of the city In 'ho
morning nnd services of some sort In
nil the churches not uniting with oth
ers. There were crowds upon tho
streets nil day, but they were orderlv
crowds and the saloons were not very
generously putronl:d.
The 'heaters were crowded to over
flowing both afternoon and evening,
and those who could not gain entrance
found plenty to occupy their attention
In the many entertainments and so
cials conducted In till parts of the
city.
Yesterday afternoon in the lower
temple of the Penn Avenue Baptist
church tho young people of the con
gregation wore tendered a most de
lightful reception by tho pastor, Rev.
Robert F. Y. Pierce, D. D., assisted
by his wife and a number of the Sttii
dnj' school teachers.
The room was tastefully decorated
with bunting and American and Cu
ban tlags. The young people were
all there from the tiny prhna-y tola
to the young men nnd women, The
exercises wore opened with prayer by
Dr. Pierce. Then the children formed
In a single lino and passed in line be
fore Dr. Pierce nnd his wife, shaking
hands with each as they went by.
Various games, many of them being
of ;i very original nature, were 011
joved by all. One ot these In par
ticular wns especially novel. Sixty
well known advertisements were
clipped from the magazines, the trade
name of tho articles advertise'! be
ing erased. Those present were then
furnished with puds and the idea was
(to guess as many of the titles of the
advertisements as possible.
Phonograph selectons were given an J
an Impromptu programme of recita
tions and songs was rendered by var
ious members of the Sunday school.
At the close of the festivities D".
Pierce opened a barrel of ruddy r d
apples, which weie distributed among
the children.
At thu Rescue Mission, on Franklin
avenue, last night a special Thanks
giving song service was conducted,
under the leadership of Angus Mc-
Loan.v The hall was crowded to this
doors and many were unable to obtain
admittance. Musical selections were
rendered by Stella Keinard, Will Long
and Will Stanton. There were no ad
dresses. At the conclusion of the programme,
dainty lefreshinents.donated by Caterer
Hanley, wore served.
PROFESSIONAL EARNINGS.
Comparative Advantage of the Law,
Medicine and the Clergy.
110111 the Medical ItCLord.
The law Is probably the most prolit
able of the so-called learned prol'es-hlons-.
There are more and larger
prizes to be gained by an acute and
eloquent disciple of the legal art than
arc open lo the medical man or the
minister. In this country and Great
Britain the Incomes of the foremost
advocates and of attorneys In lucrative
practice for the most part overshadow
the yearly earnings of the best known
physicians and surgonns, and to a still
greu(er extent those of our spiritual
advisers. Occasionally one hears of
very large fortunes being left by prom
inent doctors Sir William Gull, Sir
Andrew Clurke, Dr. Pepper and Sir
AVilliam .Tenner are cases in point
but tlie.se ate exceptions, and sums
accumulated by medical men cannot
be computed either In number or
magnitude to the colossal amounts
uinnssod by members of the legal fra
ternity. When, however, itho average
Incomes of these three classes of the
community are considered their le
latlvo position in Groat Rrltain and
the United States will be found to
differ. Viewed thus, in tho t'nited
Kingdom the cleargynian is aL the top
of the list, the lawyer second and
the" doctor last; while here the lawyer
or doctor gets a larger bhare of thu
"loaves anil llshcs" and the minister
has to be content with the crumbs.
The average) income of a physician
In largo cltlca on this continent iimv
bii plueed at $:',00O, in tho smaller
towns at $l,r.ui), and In thu rural ills
trlcls at $l,2fig. Two or three New
Yotk physicians are bald to make over
Sioo.mui a year, live or six about $10,000,
but the average Income, although
raihcr higher than In Chicago and in
other American large cities, docs not
greatly exceed .f-'.OOO yearly. The min
ister averages In tho city perhaps iu.
000, und Iu tho country certainly not
more than .rM)0 yearly.

As regards living expenses both the
lawyer and minister have an advant
age over their professional brother.
In New York, for example, oflice ac
commodation .suitable to a physician
is very dear, in a good neighborhood
costing not less than $70 or $S0 a month,
which, with board and lodging und
other necessary disbursements, will
repie.sent a. stun of Sl-0 monthly, a
biitllciently weighty burden to bear.
The young minister has no rent to
pay, while the legal neophyte can regu
late his outlay hi this respect according
to tho length of his purse.
Nevertheless the lot of tho medical
beginner, compared with that of tt
pastor In a like situation, has Its com
pensations. He is at least more or
lehs independent. The minister, on tho
contrary, Is as a rule permitted to oxer
clso his own will but to a limited de
gree, and often is doomed to go through
a lifetime of toll, subservient to tho
caprices of censorious elders and dea
cons, . An excellent description of the
Rials of an American country minister,
und 'tho various unpleasantnesses with
which ho has to contend tit thu hands
of Ills congregation, Is given In tho
"Damnation of Therein Ware," tho best
novel written by the Into Harold Fred
01 1 c.
When all is said that can, bo ateid
tho Hist few years of medical practice
arc years of arduous c.Tjtt. full of dis
illusionment and disappointment. The
late Sir Andrew Clarke told Dr. Osier:
"From the vantage Kiound of 111010
than forty years of buret woik I can
say that. I have striven ten years fop
board, leu years for bienet and butter
and twenty years for cake and tile,"
Tlio truth undoubtedly Is-, mid espec
ially iu the largo ceimes of population
Iu Aiuerh-u, that tlio opportunities! for
a physician to obtain adeQiuitu coiu-pons-allou
for his services are yearly
bei'omlui-i 1pm.
This Is not duo (o any deterioration
In tho eitiallty of tho present day prao
tllioner or an uvldeueo of fulling off.
In medical or surgical skill, The fuot
Is Irrotutable that the medical profes
sion in this ami Iu all ihillzed coun
trcs stands on u higher plane iu tlio
matter of trailing and kuowledgu than
ever before, Thu iciisou for the du
creusi) In medical iucoiueH is indu
bitably almost wholly owing to the
more eager competition among regular
practitioners, to hospital und dispells
arv abuse and to the hunentublu In
crease In tittackery, Thu supply of

most potent remedy we can suggest
for this evil Is that, as has many times
