CUSTOMS.
Reorganization of Districts.

Attention is again invited to previous rec
concentrations relative to the reorganiza-
ton of customs districts and the discontinue
ance of useless ports, at which unnecessary
expense is incurred,
Special Agents.
The special agents of the department dur
ing the past fiscal year have examined and
reported upon the customs business trans
acted in fifty-five customs districts, and
have made numerous recommendations for
the improvement and more economical con-
duct of the customs service. They have
also Investigated the differentiation of ar
ticles of imported merchandise, charges
against officers, smuggling, and other ir-
reSularities, and have rendered valuable
service in connection with the administra-
ton of the customs laws. The annual re-
port of the supervising special agent will
give in detail a statement of such services.
DETERMINATIONS.
The subject of differentiation of imported
merchandise still requires constant atten-
ton. Many complaints upon the subject
are received and investigated, and large
sums. representing increased and penal du-
ties on account of undervaiuations, have
been collected during the past year. As
the result of the inquiries conducted in
Europe by special agent. increased du-
ties on one line OF merchandise alone ac-
cruing on advances made by appraisng
officers, amounted to nearly $4,000, and
X is estimated that by reason of increased
valuations made by importers in their in
voices, the direct result of such investiga-
tton. the customs revenue has been in
creased over 100000 per annum on this
one class OF merchandise.
Smuggling.
There have been a number of unusually
large seizures of smuggled merchandise,
chiefly precious stones. and constant vigil
lance is exercised to detect and prevent such
irregularities.
Board of General Appraisers.
For a detailed account of the work of the
Board of United States General Appraisers
reference is made to it's annual report for
the twelve months ended September 80.
1899
The Board calls attention to the fact
that at the close of the year there were
ASA protests suspended, awaiting the de-
cision of courts on analogous issues About
Ikne-tenths of these protests are against
the decision of the collector at the port of
New York. In 10000 of the suspended pro-
tests only about dozen issues are involved.

the stomach is weak, and there is no appetite and
friends begin to whisper Consumption" great
many people induced to use foul fish oils or the
modified nastiness of their emulsions But these
being foods must be digested and assmilated before
they have any value for the body. They do not
deal with the cause of disease but with its effect
For that reason oils and emusions do not bring
permanent results.
The reason why DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery does cure so many forms of disease, is be-
cause SO many forms of disease begin in "weak
stomach" The stomach is the vital center of the
body 1t isn't what is eaten but what is assmilated
which sustains life. Nervousness is nerve hunger
Wooden Medical Discovery" heals the diseased
stomach that it makes nerve food the nerves are
ted and NERVOUSNESS ceases. When the stomach is
made well and strong the appetite comes back nat
urally. When food is eaten and digesed and assmi-
lated the whole body built up into sound health
Consumption is wasting disease. There can be
no consumption to a properly nourished body
"Golden Medical Discovery" cures diseases of the
stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition
and so removes the obstruction to the proper nour-
ishment of the body in all its parts

A SHORTLONG STORY.

The story of disease as Mr.. Long tells 1t is very
short. 1t can be summed up in the three phrases
which chosen for illustration. IA terrible
cough" rCould not sleep" "No appetite"
When a man can't eat and can't sleep, he can't
live. If he can eat but can't sleep there's madness
dogging his steps. But if both sleep and appetite
fail him, he is doomed unless help comes to
him. When these symptoms associated with +" a
terrible cough" friends begin to whisper to each
other that ominous word consumption.
Mr.. longs Story.
NJ cannot speak too highly of Dr. Pierce's Golden
cal Discovery writes W. S. Long ESQ., of Frankfort
Sussex Co.. Del. "Aer recovering from spell of pneu-
nonia was taken with terrible cough, and nothing
seemed to do me any good until began taking the Golden
Medical Discovery Before took the medicine very
weak and with appetite and could sleep
night, and my friends felt that had consumption
Before taking one bottle my appetite pr owed greatly and
after taking four bottles completely cured think

and typical in its cure. The use of DR.. Pierces

Hall of Records.
The earnest consideration of Congress is
again invited to the necessity for providing
a Hall of Records in this city, in which
the uncuIrent files of the various Exec
utive Departments and other branches of
the Government may be stored.
This matter has been the subject Of agi-
tation for many years past. but with no
practical results. The growth of the Gov
ernments business is 50 rapid. and the &C
emulation of the files so great a con-
sequence, that all the Executive Depart
store the files which by law must
be preserved. The destruction by fire
of any one of the Executive De-
partments would cause almost irrepar-
the transaction of its business, and this is
especially true of the Treasury. This De-
partment is the greatest clearing house OF
the Government. Here all US debts are
paid, and there are preserved the evidence
of such payment. The files stored in this
building are in such condition that q fire
may ersue at any time. and in the event or
