Jt Ins been tho piactlce for years for firemen

'Ibis it has been arranged to collect, hovvevci,
by dividing tlie long, or font teen hour shift, Into
two Bhoil shifts of ficven hours eieli, allowing

makes an increase in Ihe firemen's vvagia equal

Hoisting engineers ate, in mot eises, monthly
men, retelling fiom $7.1 to $78 a month, which
is considered ample compensation for the condi

alto been w 01 king long bonis in order to change

We have, ill cITect, a huge number of prices

losiilt of jears of experience, and which, in our
opinion, aic eminently fair lo all concerned.
Tiny have broil adju'ted, fiom time to time, to

GREATNESS OF THE
LATE CECIL RHODES
Dcsciibod by Rov. Dr. James Hughes
in n Lecture Last Night in
Adams Avenue Chnpel.
Tlie Rev. Dr. James Hughes delivered
a lecture last evening in tho Adams
Avenue chapel, on tho late Hon. Cecil
Rhodes. Miss Salmon delighted tho
audience very much by singing abeau
tiful solo In excellent style, and Mr.
Austin and party contributed much to
the success of the evening by singing a
iiuartette.
Mr. Hughes said It was a strange
thing, that every great man bent on
doing good on a large scale was sure
to be denounced, bitterly scandalized,
and shamefully mlsiepresented.
In till countries, among all nation
alities we llnd the same thing. In this
country we hax-o only need to refer to
the great and good President Lincoln.
Mr. Rhodes did not cscapo the poison
ed arrows of malicious people. Indeed
lor the last fifteen years ho was the
object of more vituperation than falls
lo the lot of most men even of his
own callbie and benelllcent dlsposi
tknrs. You generally find more stones under
the tree that bears much fruit than
under tho tree that bears little or no
fruit. Rhodes was the greatest man
that ever lived in South Africa. He
was the best friend the native tribes
ever had. Tho working men employed
by the companies of which he was
managing director, almost Idolized him.
He did more to open up tlie vast and
rich resources of the country than
any other man, and thereby provided
new Holds of labor for the working
men of tlie congested countries of
Eurone.
No one can carefully estimate the ex
tent of his Influence for good among
the aboilginal tribes of the dark con
tinent. They looked upon the "gteat
white man' 'as their father, and ti list
ed him. Rhodes was br.ive and gener
ous, a prodigious woiker and a colossal
genius. His fame wfll increase with
the flight of time, and the possibilities
are Unit even the Roers will In days to
come perpetuate his memory in monu
mental inarblp as the man who did
more than any other man to put South
Africa on a sound basis of lasting peace
and boundless proseprlty.
Mr. Hughes gave some account of
his interviews with Mr. Rhodes which
Were of a very interesting nature. The
meeting was pteslded over by Dr. Rate
son. A SENSATIONAL
ACHIEVEMENT
IN PHOTOGRAPHY
Perfect Portraits Made at Night by
Artificial Light at Schriever's Free
Exhibition Saturday Evening.
Five years ago a perison who inlt,lit
have advanced the theory that photo
graphs could be made after dark with
the same quality of result In lighting
that attends the making of pictures
under the regulation studio light,
would have been considered mentally
unbalanced.
A little later came an nilvanco, when
llnsh light was Introduced. While an
swering many night purposes, It was
yet unfitted for portrait making on ac
count of the ghastly cU'eets of the light
upon tho features.
Today, however, all obstacles have
been biiishetl aside, and n system of
night .portrait operating by means of
artlllclal light equal If not superior to
day light has been thoroughly per
foe ted.
At it largo expensse, Mr, Schriever has
Instnlled this system at the Gold Medal
Studio, where a free public exhibition
of ltss powers- will be given next Satur

Thirty-seven points in nil -were scored
yesterday In The Tribune's Educational
Contest, of which Herbert Thompson
of Carbondalo got nearly one-half, oi
ls for his share. This brought Mr.
Thompson up from iifth place to sec
ond, where he Is now 29 points behind
the first contestant. A. J. Kellerman.
AVllliain T. S, Rodriguez of Scranton
improved his position slightly by going
from sixth place to llfth, and Hariy
Danvers of Providence changed places
with I.ouls McCusker, going up to
twelfth.
A new contestant made his first re
port yesterday. His name is Edgar
Wilson, jr., and ho is now in last place.
There are no less than six ties for
various positions, this Indicating how
closely the contest is being pursued.
Herbert Thomphon was the only con
testant from out of town to ieport
points yesterday. This is unusual, ns
the contestants Ironi out of town have
previously been the most systematic
la making a dally showing.
There were two more entries yester
day, as follows:
It. D. Jones, 1127 Rock street.
Walter flallstead, 320 MMlln avenue.
Wo wish to again call the attention
of the young people who have entered,
but have not yet reported points, that
there is no time to begin like the pres
ent, when the contest is young nnd
there are several vncant places. They
should remember that there are thirty
three bcholarshlps offered, and in case
of a tie at the close those who have
registered their points first will be
awarded the first choice of the disputed
scholarship. All who fall to get as
high as thirty-third place will be given
back ten cents on every dollar they
turn In, so that none will be unpaid
for their time.
The entry list Is open. Particulars
aro printed dally on the fourth page of
The Tribune.
