The directors of the American Cotton OH company met yesterday, but took no action on the common dividend. The usual semi-annual dividend of 3 per cent was declared on the preferred stock The company issued an explan- atory statement after the meeting in which it was stated that but for the present financial condition a dividend would have been declared on the com mon stock. Under the circumstances the directors thought it for the best in- terests of the company to conserve their resources and defer action on the divi- dend until conditions have improved.

----------------------------- THE WORK OF RESCUE.
Heroic Efforts To Take Seven Me
 From Mines.

From Mines.
 Johnstown, Pa. April 2S.-Despite the fact that twelve large pumps have been in operation for two days at Mine number 3S, of the Barwind- White Company at Fostwell, where seven men have been imprisoned since Fri day. by flood of water from another of the workings. so little progress has been made that the men may not be reached until too late to save their lives.
 All day today the tapping on the compressed air pipes continued. The rescuing party Is greatly puzzled over the manner in which these taps are given. Invariably the number Is sew en. Whether in No. heading, south of the second right hand. or whether they mean that seven men are living is merely a matter of conjecture. There Is no possible way of reaching them in the seventh south heading un- til the main heading is dry.
 Mine Inspector J. T. Evans went in to the openings today with Superin tendent Thomas. of the Berwind-W White Company. After their investigation they announced their belief that res- cue would be impossible until some time tomorrow afternoon.
 The miners now have been entombed for nearly 72 hours Their supply of food has long since been exhausted and 1t is only a question of time until the supply of air in the heading also wlli be exhausted

The Rifle in the schaoIn.

The executive committee of the Ma tional Rifle Association of America on April Is adopted the plans proposed by Gen. James A. Drain, president of the association. for schoolboy rife shooting. An opportunity will be giv- en to organize rife clubs in all the in- stitutions of learning throughout the country. These clubs are to be diyid- ed into two classes. one to consist of clubs composed of students in univer- sites, colleges and institutions of learning conferring degrees. the other of students in public schools, acade- mics. preparatory and private schools. It is proposed to have these clubs practice both indoors and outdoors, and code has been adopted for quali- fications under both conditions. In- door work will be carried on with the p caliber rife or with reduced charg- es, and the sub target rife machine; outdoor work with the military rife. Medals will be given for qualifications on both indoor and outdoor ranges and the clubs will receive prizes for competitions among their members Each club will consist of at least twenty members

 I was appointed a second lieutenant in the 3rd Alabama Volunteer Infan- 1 try, colored, on December IS, 1898, March 30. 1899, when the regiment
 was mustered out of the service of the United States.
 On August 30, 1899. I was appointed captain in the United States army and was assigned to Company K, 38th United States Infantry. which com- | pany commanded until September 1. 1900. when I was transferred by the | Secretary of War to the 18th United | States Infantry. was In three general engagements while serving in the 3Sth | Infantry, viz.; At Imus,f Talasy and Luta.

 The most important element in the | administration of any company is the | non-commisstoned stan and upon their
 selection all depends. writer in The
 National Guards Magazine tells us
 most truthfully and forcibly.
 "The backbone of the company is
 the non- commissioned ofiicer, and the
 selection of these should be made with
 all the care possible.
 | Their appointment through compett- l tive examination is to be preferred for
 some reasons, but there are objections
 to this method that have led many of 'hcers to abandon it entirely. This, in 1 the opinion of the writer, Is mistake, | and he believes that a mixture of se- l IGCLlOn ana COInpctitlOH VIII SlNc IHc | best results. The competition is good
 because it tends to bring forward those
 who desire the position while the pro-
 cess of selection, if honestly conducted, enables the captain to urge forward a
 promising private who might other l wise, from sheer modesty, be deterred from entering a competitive examina-
 tion.

observation of the man himself On the other hand, the natural leader may be 50 densely ignorant that he will be of no value as an instructor and his character may make him a danger rather than a help. After such a man has been given stripes he is generally so puffed up with his own importance that 1t Is well nigh impossible to in- struct him, except along very narrow lines and at considerable effort.
 No man should ever be appointed a non-com because of his family infiu- ence. his friendship for or relationship to any of the officers Neither should man be apointed because of his per- sonal popularity. Merit and merit alone should govern all apointments. even in promotion from corporal to sergeant

 The pleasure and satisfaction that good first sergeant Is to officers and men alike must be realized to be appre. ciated. A captain who fails to develop and after development, to rely on and trust his first sergeant Is only adding to his own burdens and worries and ar- resting the development of his coni- pany."
 A P1eu for the Men
 Major General James F. Wade. U. s. A., who was placed on the retired list April 14 after forty-six years oi honorable and distinguished service slgnalized the event with an earnest plea for more consfderate treatment Tor the enlisted men of the army Gen. eral Wade. in an interview with the Washington correspondent of The Bos. ton Transcript. is quoted as saying tha, the enlisted men of today. taken as 6 body do not seem to be quite equal tc those of the past. One reason fol this," he remarked. lis that the men are not staying in the service lona enough at the present time The prin. cfpa1 reason for this is, of course. the prosperity of the country. and men who might prove good soldiers prefer tc stay outside the army and make more money. I believe that the service should be made more attractive. ana that the pay of the enlisted men should be increased. That would go long way towards keeping desirable men in the service." The abolition of the canteen has also been detrimental te the army. Tt was a great mistake when Congress abolished the canteen, said General Wade. for under the old system the men were much better oil in every way. The young recruits were better protected, for they were not brought iT contact with the low places that always find a place to do business in easy access of military posts. When the canteen was. lawful these young men were kept in canAp under good influences. gThe liquor sold in the canteens was also of better quality, and it was dispensed under the watchful eyes of careful officers" ]"
