to'Cicero, Who Used More Than 7,0
•:,Oharaotors-Now York's Veteran.
There are more stenographers in Ne
York and its vicinity than there a
lawyers or doctors. But not all of the
are competent. A first class shorthan
writer is very difficult to find, and
he is a fast writer he is sure of a gfe
salary,
Shorthand writing as a means of ea
ing a livelihood is not as lucrative
many other callings, but it affords
young man, if be is quick witted, a fin
Chance to watch the internal workin
of a business house, and thereby hel
him toward a business education 'six
as he could get in no other way.
' The only field that is highly rem
nerative is law reporting, but to becom
for this work requires yea
of assiduous practice, and the field
employment is limited. The highe
salary paid to a court stenographer i
New York is in the surrogate's Cour
Mr. Edward F. Underhill, probably t
oldest practicing stenographer in Ame
ica, holds this position and receives
-salary of $8, 000 per year. He has bee
in the service since 1849.
The municipal departnl8nts and court
in New York city pay annually in sa
aries for stenographic services $154
000. This -salary list includes 90 st
nographers, 27 of whom are court re
porters, each receiving $2,500, and 1
$2,000 annnally as salary. In additio
to this, however, all court stenographs
are allowed' by the code. 10 cents per fo
lio of 100 words, for furnishing eopie
of transcripts to the parties interests
in any case when desired.
Up town at 833 West Twenty-thir
street the stenographers of New Yor
have a club, where they meet each oth
er socially. lu connection with th
club is a "classroom," where the mem
bers may practice the art of shorthan
writing. Here nearly every evening ar
gathered scores of ambitious youn
shorthander's industriously driving thei
pens for love of perfection in thei
craft, while some one of experienc
reads or dictates, The classroom i
provided with all the different styles o
typewriting machines for the use o
members wheii ,there is no dictation
The club also maintains ans. employ
went bureau. ' The club is open to e
ther sex. 1' fact, it is the largo mem
bership of young ladies that gives zes
to the social side of the club, wleich i
one of its important•=features. In th
winter the club gives receptions, enter
tainments, occasionally a dinner and
once every year a ball.
In many of the public schools of th
country stenography is a part of th
training. An evidence of its recent re
markable growth is shown by a circu
ar issued by the bureau of education at
Washington.
Here it is shown that from July 1,1889,
to June 30, 1890, 57,375 persons receiv-
d instruction in the art of shorthand
n schools and colleges in the United
fates. Five thousand five hundred and
£ty of these were in New York and
Brooklyn. A similar circular was is-
ued by the bureau in 1854, in which it
was shown that during the ".year .1882
he number of pupils receiving such
nstructionwas 12,470.. It is therefore
ui e safe to' say that the number for
893 exceeded 75,000.
But this number does not take into
onsideration an army probably equal -
y large who receive instruction from
ome other source or from professional
tenographers. - •
Out of this vast army, however, but
very small minority are either phys-
cal]y or mentally qualified' to 'become
oui't reporters or even Office amanuen-
aes.
Cicero is said to have been the invent -
r of shorthand writing, and the freed-
an,mMarcus Tullius Tiro, his friend,
he first stenographer, and he undoubt-
dly did use a method of shorthand
writing as early as 60 B. C.
The first English treatise was by Tim
-
the Bright, entitled "An Arte of Sborte
itvifte. and Secrete Writing by Oharac-
re, lnuented by Timothe Bright, Doc-
or'of Phisike. Imprinted at London by.
Windet, the Assingee of Tim Bright,
1588. Cum priuilegie Regiae Maiesta-
s. Forbidding all others to print the
same."
Dr. Bright in this work save: "Cicero
did account it worthie his labour, and
no less profitable to the Roman common
weals (Most (i•racious Soueraigne), to
inuent a speedie kinds of wryting by
character, as Plutarch reporteth ih the
life of Cato the younger. This invert -
ion was increased afterward by Seneca;
that the nurnbei' of characters grue to
7, 000, Whether through inure of time
or that the men gave it over for tedious=
Hess of learning, nothing remaineth ex-
alt of Cicero's invention at this day."
Every stenographer who recalls the
efforts; required to properly master the
I .characters used in. the art today.
Will not wonder that of Cicero's system,
With its 7,000 characters, nothing re-
mains at this day.
It was not until 1642 that the art be=.,
oatrio of any practical nae, and it Was
first used in the house of lords in1699
n taping' testiinony in a divorce suit.

A Shocking Death.
A shocking tragedy occurred at Ko.
moka a few days age, in which Mrs
Mary Bradt, a widow living aloe°, com-
mitted suicide. Since her husband's
death, about two years ago, Mrs. Bradt
has shown signs of mental disease. She
was heard to say that she wetud never
get to heaven unlese she died a terrible
death. A young girl who was taking
care of Mrs, Bradt occasionall,y, left the
beam on Saturday, and from that time
lentil the poor woman's body was foiled:
morning, no one saw her Mrs. Br? t
had gone out into her field, a short dis
tance from the house, and, sitting down
on a carpenter s horse, had completely
disrobed herself, leaving not a stitch of
clothing to protect her body from the
icy blasts. She seerns to have kneeled
down, and es she grew weaker atid
'lest emisciousness fell forward on her
face. When Wanhain noticed the body
he notified Caneta,ble Smith Spence,
who went oyer and took charge of it.
The body was so imbedded in the ice
that the officer had to chop and dig it
oat. After rteovering the remains
they ewere kept for 48 hours ae near a
hot fire at1 pOseible without burning,
