Pisces Which Progressive Members of Our Race
Have Made for Themselves In Con.
fldentlal Service.
New York levelling Tost.
A lawyor who advertised tho other
day for a stenographer and type
writer wbb much Surprised to rcceivo
application in one day from four
young colored men who were sand
wiched In among tho thirty-thrco
other applicants, twenty of them
young women who overran his ante
room, flowed into IiIb prlvnte ofllco,
and kept him for Just six hours from
doing a stroke of business. Tho col
ored men who applied, ho said, wore
clean-looking mulattoes of most pro
possessing appearance, nnd in man
nor far more respectful than tho
white ones. As to their qualifica
tions In the matter of speed and ac
curacy of work, ho saw llttlo difference-
between white and colored; but
ho engaged a young white man, ho
ndded, becauso ho thought it was tho
most natural and easy thing to do.
The incident led a reporter to find
out whether there wore many negroos
engaged In this city in clerical posi
tions, Buch as typewriters, stenog
raphers and privato secretaries. Tho
first ofllco visited was that of a trans
continental railway company in Droad
street. All three elevator men In tho
building were negroes; so was the
man who stood guard over the exec
utive offices of tho company, nnd
snvod them from countless interrup
tions during tho day. So was tho
stenographer nnd clerk to the genornl
purchasing agent, The last of theso
was nbout 24 years old, very light In
color, nnd of most pleasing address.
"How did you get this place?" ho
was asked.
"Hard work and sticking nt It," ho
said. "I started In nn errand boy,
became nn office boy, and then workod
nights in a school which taught type
writing and shorthand. T.uon whon
I beenmo proficient I boldly asked for
a place, and got it. I havo been hero
ever slnco, and tho gontlomon who
havo buslncBH with this ofllco treat mo
Just bb If I wbb white perhaps they
are a llttlo more consldornto than thoy
would bo to many whlto mon I have
seen behind typewriters. Know many
other young colored mon in ofllcos?
Yes, a great many, probably fifty
within n fow blocks, if you count
stenographers, clerks nnd ofllco boys."
It used to bo said that no ono could
over sco tho into Collls P. Hunting
ton, president of tho Southern Pacific
Company, unless Mr. Huntington's
colored privnto secretary so willed It,
nnd this modest man had often to
dony his master to soma very Import
ant men, but always so polttoly that
no offonse was convoyed. Slnco Mr.
Huntington's death his secretary has
continued In tho employ of tho com
pany, but lately ho hns takon up his
headquarters In tho Huntington resi
dence whore ho acts as confidential
secretary to Archer M. Huntington, tho
ndoptcd son of- tho lato millionaire.
"Is Mr. Gould In?" wnB asked tho
other day at the ofllco of Gcorgo
Gould In the Western Union build
ing. The answer camo that ho was,
but that his privnto sccrotary would
havo to bo seen boforo access could
bo gained to Mr, Gould. Whon the
socrotnry appeared ho proved to bo a
young mulatto, becomingly modest,
and yet dotormlncd that no ono should
sco Mr. Gould unless his business was
of Importance, and Mr. Gould appar
ently lets him bo tho Judge of that.
It was Raid ho has three times ralsod
tho young man's salary for his faith
ful work, us secretary and "gonoral
protector from cranks."
Tho cases cited nbovo aro some
what exceptional, but thoro has boon
in tho last fow years a .most marked
increase in tho number of colored mon
tulmltted to tho schools toachlng type
writing, bookkeeping and shorthand,
and consequently In those employed in
clerical positions In business houses
nil over tho country.
