Il mean shoot of ore"

Say, chief how do you spell

A friend of mine exhibited cir
cular letter from one of the mining
companies operating in Manhattan
yesterday wherein the words 'ore
shoot" was spelled chute" l call
ed my friends attention to what
1 thought was mistake, but he
maintained that since the letter was
signed by a prominent mining en-
gineer of Manhattan it was spelled
correctly.
OF course my friend doesn't real
ize the various kinds of mining

windlesses myself.
At any rate, l started out to find
out how to spell the word correctly,
and the first man l met was Mr.

Say, how do you spell shoot?"
asked
Shoot" he replied with his Gus

"Oh, that's different; it is spelled

Despite the fact that a number
of leading companies which, accord
ing to past performances, were ex-
pected to make a November dis
bursement, passed the event, diyi-
dend declarations by American

cipating in these disbursements were
149 companies, 112 operating in
the United States, 10 in Mexico, II
in Canada and one in Central
America.
The profitableness of legitimate
mining could be no better exempli-
fed than by the total disbursements
of these 149 companies, which, i.
Guiding the November declarations,
reach the enormous total of $780,
1S9,3S2. This, based on the total

STANDING.
Presbyterian Brotherhood
By PAUL GANONG

Last Sunday was Brotherhood day in the First Presbyterian Sunday school and a large crowd attended. Harry Sterling our president, acted as superintendent, and conducted things as if he was MT. Dixon himself. When it was time for the secretary's report Emmitt Collins stepped to the front and read his paper from top to bottom like an old member. Everybody was satisfied with the Broth erhood's way of doing things.
 The standing in the contest is: MT. Stiggins class 36. the Scouts 30, the Bud dies 21 and the Volunteers 19,
 Saturday, April 22, we were defeated by the Avondale Methodists baseball team, the score being to 5. We were satisfied with the clean umpiring, and the playing of the Avondale team, but we didn't play as we'll as usual. But the Brotherhood boys will make somebody fight for the pennant yet.
 Yesterday morning our little C team de- feated Eleventh Avenue Methodist, so 3, in the prettiest game of the season. Our boys only made one eror and played like veterans. Truman Mothershed broke up the game in the seventh inning with a two-bagger and the way that boy pitched was a shame. In all the bowling of that Behren's park bunch he famed the last two men up. The fielding and base-run- ming of Jimmie Lay and Holmead Chi chester were features "Hollys' home run was a beaut.

.SELF-HELP SOCIETY
 OF COURT USHERS

Constantinople, April 29.-(SpeciaL)-A self-help society, original in it's scope, has been found to exist among the pen stoned ushers and other officials of the law courts of Constantinople.
 This organization devotes itself to pro- viding at reasonable charges, witnesses for the service of litgants who arrive at court insufficiently provided with testi- mony. The society's agents are to be found outside the doors of all branches of the judicature, and by reason of the extensive experience of its members, gained by long service in official posts of trust, it is able to supply any class of evidence desired not as intelligent per jury, but in a form appropriate to the usual preference of the particular judge detailed to try the case.
 The success of the society has so widened it's sphere of operations that its terms are on a low cash basis. The charges for even the highest class of tes- timony supplied-that in divorce proceed ings are so reasonable that for two med jidiehs (about s1.70 a head the society will provide petitioning wife with eye witnesses, or straightforward and con- vincing simplicity of bearing, of the &C., tual ill-treatment on the part of the re- spondent required to secure the desired separation.
 The collapse of this organization is due to the internal dissensions among its members as to whether the basis of the division of profits should take account of the additional strain on conscience and religious conviction entailed by the more complicated cases submitted to the soci- ety, or whether regard should be had only to time spent in attendance at court The dispute led to a brawl, which attract ed the attention of the police

Vienna, April 29.-(Special.)- )-The very friendly spirit of the Emperor of Ger many toward Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria Hungary is shown by the ex- change of courtesies between the two monarchs.
 The Zeit publishes the text of warmly worded wireless telegram of thanks from the German Emperor to the Emperor Francis Joseph for the greeting of the Hohenzolern by the lAustro-Hungaria ria n reserve squadron under the command of Francis After the expression of thanks the telegram adds: "The ships and crews looked splendid and maneu- vered precisely and excellently. I shall keep in grateful memory the most kind attention once again paid to me The Empress, also thrilled by the same mem orable moment, joins me In heartiess greetings"
 The work of building greater navy is to be pressed forward under the pro visions of the law making the appro priation for building the new battle- ships. The Danubius yard at Plume has begun the construction of two fast crui- sers of the Admiral Spaun type and of six 800-ton destroyers. It Is officially stated that the first Austro- Hungarian Dreadnought will, in accordance with a

 Last Saturday we defeated the Bud dies by the score of IT to 12. The bat teries for the game were Plosser, Hoke and Gilreath for the Leaders; Mother shead and Hall for the Buddies. Tho feature of the game was the batting and rungetting of Brandon, who got five hits and five runs for the Leaders. Lay of the Buddies played a fine game at short and didn't make an er- TOT. covering more than his share of ground.
 Yesterday we played the First Meth odists at Behrens park at II o'clock. The batteries for the Leaders were Naff and Hart. The game was close one and of course you know who won in the finish.

DIVER HAD VERY
 NARROW ESCAPE

London, April 29-(Special)-A diver named John Thomas, employed by the port of London authorities, has had a wonderful escape from death, whilst at work on the sunken steamer, Malaga, off Gravesend The air-pipe attached to his diving apparatus became severed while he was over 50 feet under the water
 Faced with the prospect of suffoca- tion under water, he cut the pipe, though he was about nine fathoms (57 feet) be- low the surface-for not only was his supply of air stopped by the accident but the tanning of the tube prevented free movement.
 Then he pulled the lifeline, and was hauled to the surface in an exhausted state. He cut the pipe three feet above his helmet.
 His experience is said to be record Before now divers have cut their air-pipe when five fathoms down, but never, II is stated, at so great depth as nine fathoms.

Besides Tuzi. the Turks are reported to have recaptured Hoti and Grudi, but to have been repulsed near Kastrati. whence they are stated to have fled in the di- rection of Skutari after losing Il killed and 200 wounded. In some quarters here the insurgents are believed to have been reinforced from the interior, but on the other hand, it is possible that the pro- ceedings of the Turkish regulars from Skutari, who burned every Albanian house and village in their path, may have exasperated the insurgents and have driven waverers into their ranks.
 All reports emphasize the continuance of the Albanian emigration to Montenegro where the situation appears daily to be growing more difficult In spite of the Turkish remonstrances King Nicholas can hardly refuse asylum to the fugitives although their maintenance must tax Montenegrin resources.

 The revolt of the Albanians against the levying of heavy taxes has had the effect of making the unaccustomed bur den lighter than 1t otherwise might have been. While disturbances of serious na- ture continue the minister of interior said in the Turkish chamber that the out break would soon be localized and sup pressed.
 By way of meeting the grievances of the Albanians, who find the new order in Turkey rather severe. after their for mer exemption from state duties. the Turkish & ,ernment is prepared to grant them the greatest facilities in order to accustom them gradually to the new or der of things. Among other things tho sheep tax is not to be collect for a year. The Porte at Constantineple has instructions to the Turkish minister at Cetigne to make energetic representations to the Monenegrin government in regard to the supplying of arms to the Albanian insurgents by Montenegrins on the bor- der.
 Almost the whole population of Tuzi has fled into Montenegro and is now camping near Podgoritza. The statement that Montenegro would allow the Turk sh troops to pursue the insurgents on Montenegrin territory Is officially denied, but 1t Is announced. on the other hand, that King Nicholas has withdrawn the subsidy hitherto paid to the Albanian refuges. The Turkish authorities at Sal oniAa declare, however, that the partici- patton of 250 or 300 Montenegrin soldiers in the destruction of Turkish blockhouses Is an established fact.
 In spite of early reverses the Albanian insurgents appear not to ,have lost heart.

We know you are anxious to hear from us again but we have been so interested in our work that we almost forgot. Perhaps you want to hear about that game the other night.
