The Printers Realty Company has bought of C. A. Stauffer and Clifford smith the eight lots they recently purchased os w. K. James in block F of the Brill addition The- were bought at bargain by Messrs. Smith and Stauffer and turned over tO the company at a very slight margin of advance so tke latter feels that it has got a bed rock bargain.
 The reader ma:' inquire what and who the Printers Realty company is. and the question may be answered without harm to anybody. It is small corporation, prop erly constituted. composed Of a number of the employees of The Republican office. and the pur- pose of it is. first to save 9 part of their wages each month and secondly. tO increase their small wealth by ju- licious investment of such money as they can get hold of. It might well be named the Printers Meal Ticket Insurance Company. Limited" de- vice whereby the members carry their own risks. The corporation is not designed to T.n tie real estate men out Of business. but on the contrary. to make business for them by taking advantage of an occasional "snap" thereby keeping their money at work and making work Cor other people They havn't got anything and don't propose to get anything they are not willing to sell again when there is

ord during the last winter contained
fewer events than any of the immedi-

about six small afternoon receptions
during the season, when tea and small
CONNECTIONS were served.
There were two large evening
levees, when practically the whole of
Washington's official and social world
was entertained. About three formal
and pretentious banquets were given
by the British ambassador during the
winter.
But little more can be placed to the
credit of the French ambassador and
Nine. Jusserand, second on the list of
big salaries. M. Jusserand gets S42,-

HE great number of mine accidents
and the appalling loss of life there
from has prompted the United States
government to invite Great Britain.
Germany and Belgium to send their
leading experts in such matters to this
country to cooperate with the efforts
now being made through the United
States geological survey to establish
an experimental station at Pittsburg
and to inaugurate the work there of
testing explosives used in coal mining.
Congress at it's last session appropri-
ated S150,000 for this purpose, and
this sum has been turned over to the
survey.
It is said that abroad mine ex-
plosives are tested, and those which
arA deemed standard for the purpose
of mining are labeled permissible"
There is no such condition here, nor
has the geological survey the right to
impose it. 1t may, however, endeavor
to ascertain the facts by investigation,
and then set them forth for the bene-
fit of mine operators and for the In
formation of state legislators.
Last year 5000 men were killed in
the mines and the year before 2,061.
The rate for 1905 was 3.34 for every
thousand men employed, while for
1907 it was still greater. In four mines

down the pole by watching the firemen
and, according to Capt. Walker, first
essayed it a year ago. The cat was
upstairs and wished to get to the
lower floor one evening. The door
leading to the stairway was shut and
after trying in vain to enlist the atten.
ton of the firemen Dick made a flying
leap for the sliding pole and, clasping
it with his fore and hind paws, slid
down to within two feet of the bottom,
where he jumped and half fell off. He
