The average number of days worked by the bituminous miners in 1913 was 232, against 223 in 1912, while the average time made in the anthracite mines in 1913 was the best on record, 257 days for each man. The average production of miner in the bitumin- ous mines increased from S2o tons in 1912 to 83S tons in 1913, both being record breaking averages, while anthracite miners increased their av- craze from 485 tons in 1912 to 532 tons in 1913.

The big single stickers sailed over a special course of thirty-five miles in the run from Glen Cove to Smithtown Bay, and wind conditions at the start indicated thrash to windward and two reaches.

WOUNDED REACHING
VIENNA BY THOUSANDS
Hospitals, Schools, Hotels and
Public Buildings Filled to
Overlooking.

Vienna, via Rome, Sept. 11.-Aus-
tria was plunged into gloom when Of
fetal admission was made that the
recent operations against the Russians
have cost the dual empire one-fourth
of her first line of effective fighting
men.
simultaneously it became known
for the first time that the operations
in Galicia and Russian Poland have
been under the personal direction of
the Archduke Francis Frederick.
The announcement stated that since
the operations against Russia the
killed, wounded and missing of the
Austrian first line army totals the
enormous number of 100000 men. In
addition, by reason of attack by over
Whelming numbers of Russians, who
have outnumbered the Austrians at
all times, large quantities of army
stores, ammunition and cannon have
been lost.
Thousands of Wounded.
The hospitals, schools, hotels and
public buildings of Vienna are filled to
overtloWing with an almost incredible
number of wounded who are arriving
in constantly increasing numbers on
special trains from Poland and Galicia.
So great is the overflow of wound
ed from the battle lines where the
Russians are reported as everywhere
victorious in Galicia and so INSULT
Client are the accommodations here
that thousands of wounded Austrians
are being pushed right on through
here to Baden and several other sur
rounding cities.
Archduke Francis Frederick is a
cousin of Emperor Francis Joseph
and succeeded the late Archduke
Francis Ferdinand, whose assassina-
ton is in reality responsible for the
war, as inspector general of the Aus
trian-Hungarian armies.

French Report Says Loss Of Life Is
Not Heavy.

London, Sept. 1.-THE Bordeaux
correspondent of the Exchange Tele

to a statement made by a member of
the health department in the ministry
of war the war is not resulting in a
very heavy loss of life.
"Of every hundred men placed hors
du combat only two are killed." this
official said "Our wounded are nu-
merous, but their injuries are gener-
ally slight, most men being hurt in the
arms or legs, and the wounds almost
invariably heal rapidly. Many of
those wounded already have returned
to the front. However, our low NOR
tally rate may be attributed in part
to the poor aim of the Germans"

PR0N0UNCING ENGLISH.
Going Astray on the Correct Use Of
"u" and "ew' Sounds.

dUo eW SOoUoos
A curious feature Of the English Ian
guage as it is spoken in this part of
the United States is the prevalence of
dual system Of pronunciation. The
dictionaries tell us unequivocally that
we should pronounce "dew." knew"
and stew" as we do ''few." and that
student" stupid" and similar words
should be enunciated as If they We're
spelled ."stieudent' and stupid"
Nobody. apparently, disputes the cor
rectness of this manner of prOnOunc-
ing "u'' and ''ew"-yet here Is rule
very much more honored in the breach
than i'm the observance. Except for
stage folks. the faculties and some of
the students of schools and colleges
and few persons who make a point of
precise speaking, the academic sound
Of III" is disregarded almost univer-
sally.
1t is by no means through ignorance
that people say "stOO" and 'stOOpid."
There are worthy persons who seem
to feel that a good American really
ought to say "stoo" and ''stOOpid."
They think. apparently, that the OrthO-
dox gu" and lew" are Anglicisms and
are used In this country only by per-
sons pedantic or affected"
OF course, for all practical purposes
one way Of pronouncing is as good as
another and usage has made both
forms correct. Nevertheless. the right
use of ''u" and lew" adds music and
variety to the English language. and
the younger generation might do well
to pronounce according to the diction-
.ary and gradually overcome an "Amer-
icanism" that has no real good excuse
for being. ng.-Rochester Democrat and
Chronicle.

THREE NOTCH ROADS.
Their Curious Title Comes From the
Name Of George ~.


In Missouri and some other central
western states there are roads that are
called three notch roads" They are
public highways as distinguished from
the roads that lead to n sawmill. "a
schoolhouse. a church or an isolated
farmhouse. A three notch road goes
somewhere" Proceeding along such II
road. the traveller Is bound, In time. to
reach a town.
There lies behind the curious title an
interesting story. 1t appears that
King George Ill. decrced that all Eng
lish public roads. as kings highways.
should be marked with his name. In
the colonies II was often impossible tn
mark the roads with the care and
thoroughness that were used In Eng
land, and in the wilderness 1t was
enough to cut three notches on the
largest trees along the roads.
After the Revolution. of course, the
name of King George was omitted,
but the three notches proved useful as
means of marking public roads.
Virginia colonsts. it Is said. carried
the practice into Tennessee. Kentucky
and Indiana. and their children, In
turn. carried 1t into Missouri
Originally Missouri had no counties
Later. when they were formed. the
state decided that II the task were left
to the counties there would be little
road building. Accordingly. the state
constructed the roads and marked
them with three notches. Later,
when the counties undertook to build
roads. they were designated in the
timber country by two notches. Prior
to and during the war between the
states the distinction was preserv-
ed. and three notch roads were al
ways through roads" that led from
one town of importance to another.
Two notch roads were less important
highways. and roads not notched at
all were either rail roads or plank
roads. A rail road was n road leading
to q camp where men split rails. and
plank road led to sawmill.-

ENGLAND DEMANDS
$4,000 FROM HAYT|
BEFORE s P.M.TODAY
Ultimatum Delivered to Haytian
Government by British
Representative
By Associated Press

Port au Prince, Hayti, May 6.-The
British diplomatic representative at
Port au Prince to-day delivered an
ultimatum to the Haytian government
demanding the immediate payment of
an indemnity of s62, 900 to a British
subject in compensation for the de-
struction by fire of his sawmill during
the Leconte revolution.
The ultimatum expires at 6 o'clock
this evening.
The British demand is supported by
the presence here of the British
cruiser Suffolk. The payment of this
sum of money to the British subject
in question, q man named Peters, had
previously been ordered by a court OF
arbitration.
Immediately after the presentation
of the British demand the members
of the chamber of deputies and the
senate met in joint session. The de-
liberations were marked by great eX-
element. Senator Cauvin bitterly re-
preached the cabinet for not being
able to meet the situation. There are
no funds in hand with which to make
the payment demanded.
After futile discussion congress
decided to go into separate session in
order to permit the deputies and the
senators to discuss the matter inde-
pendently.
