The Chicago Man at Last Appointed by
President Harrison.
WASHINGTON. May S.-The president
has appointed Frank w. Palmer to be
public printer and Theodore Roosevelt,
of New York, and Hugh S. Thompson,
of South Carolina, members of the civil
service commission. The appointment
of Palmer was decided upon at the
Tuesday Cabinet meeting. 1t was also
decided that Capt. William Meredith. of
Chicago, should be appointed chief of
engraving and printing. These two
offices have given the administration
more trouble than any others. Presi-
dent Harrison announced Immediately
after his Inauguration that he intended
to make a change in the office of public
printer at a very early date. Days and
weeks went by and the office was not
filled. There were We're SO many candi-
dates and it was so difficult to make a
choice between them that the president
postponed the settlement of the question.
Capt. Meredith finally withdrew from
the race on the assurance that he would
be made chief of the bureau of engrav-
ing and printing. Then a new candi-
date for the Office sprang up in the per-
son of eX-representative Frank W. Pal
mer, of Chicago, formerly postmaster
there, and at n time one of the II
of The Chicago Inter Ocean. Palmer
had been the proprietor of papers in
Dubuque and Des Moines, Iowa. and he
had the support OF the Iowa delegation

Teak Wood Becoming Fashionable.

The teak wood is much admired and
fast becoming fashionable, but it cannot
be made common, as it is both expensive
and difficult to obtain. 1t comes from
India, or rather goes from India to
Japan and China, where it is carved.
The wood is light in color, but it is some
times stained or dyed, and it IS this kind
that we generally see in this country.
The open worked patterns are particu-
larly effective as doors and decorative
mantels. There are only two direct i'm
porters of it in New York, although it is
to be had at many furniture dealers, who
receive it through the French markets in
small quantities. 1t may be interesting

Yet wear a thoughtfulness that makes them wise,
Oh. shining face! God bless the everywhere;
