NEW YORK. April 6-Dlrectora of the
nlted States Steel Corporation today de
clared the tvgular quarterly dividend of 1
per cent on the preferred stock. The
mount will be Sv.,134.190, and In order to
meet this payment a deficit for the quarter
of tl.S57.150 waa created.
Earnings for the lost quarter (March
estimated at to. W. 000) amounted to S13.&6.
Although the lowest in the corpora
tion's history, they were better than the
most extravagant estimates made by out
siders. They were less by J1.S2K.295 than
earnings for the fourth quarter of last
year.
It waa thought that the corporation's
new system or accounting, inaugurated
with the new year, under which earnings
are not credited until the product has ac
tually been sold, would tend to reduce
profits In this quarter.
The balance of I447.W9 applicable to
dividends was struck after tl.M6.646 had
been paid off to the sinking funds of the
constituent companies' depreciation and re
serve funds, and 6,815,WZ waa charged to
Interest on the corporstion's bonds and
sinking funds for the quarter.
Earnings for the first quarter of 1903 were
$3.0fiR.7O7 and for the corresponding period
of 19PI were taj.71S.467, In both cases more
than enough to meet the dividends on both
preferred and common stock shares. I'n
filled orders on hand for the quarter
amounted to tl4.136.961 tons, an Increase of
932,138 tons over the quarter ended Decem
ber 31 last.
The preferred dividend is payable May
IS. Action on the dividend was reported
to be unanimous. No action was taken on
the question of a dividend on the common
stock.

other things said: "The man. who Is
Christian Scientist, kept saying. 'Don't
bother with me, sister, if I am burned lo
death, it Is the Lord's way.' "
Mr. Albert E. Miller of rhlladelph.'a,
Christian Science publication committee f ;r
Pennsylvania, informs me that: "Th? ir.an
Frederick made no such remarks as ac
credited to him. It wns mainly due to h's
reassuring words that he was gotten out lit

and the members of his household. Aside
from this cne point the story is correct."
