MISFIT CLOTHING.
Complaints of Police and Fire De-
partments Being Considered.

Mr.. Robert H Love- local tailor has in
vited the attention of the District Commits
sioners to an item published in The Star
several days ago relative to complaints
made by members of the police force of
misfit clothing made by Baltimore firm.
These complaints, alleges Mr.. Love, are a
rule. rather than an exception. and the
majority of the men, he claims. would pre-
fer custom-made work. even at slightly
higher figure, and patronage Of a local firm.
1t is explained at the District building
that the Commissioners are without author
ity to make contracts for furnishing men,
bers Of the police and fire departments with
uniforms, their authority being limited to
the making of regulations fixing the color.
styles and materials thereof. The contracts
are made, 1t IL stated. by the chief of police
and the chief engineer of the fire depart
ment, and 1t Is also stated that the mem
bers' OF the two departments are at liberty
to have whoever they please make their
uniforms provided the clothing meets the
requirements of the regulations. The out
side firm referred to made the uniforms last
year. it will be recalled, and 1t was charged
that the contract was given at prices high
er than that proposed by a local firm The
same outside firm, 1t is understood, was
given the contract again last spring, and 1t
Is claimed that in some instances at least
its prices are higher than those OF a year
ago. 1t is also alleged that members of the
fire department, as well as the policemen.
complain or the alleged misht garments.
1t is understood that Commissioner Mac
farland, who has immediate supervision of
the fire department, is looking into the ques-
ton, and 1t is expected that if he finds the
charges Of the men in that department to
be well founded, he will suggest to his as
sociates different course hereafter. 1t has
been suggested that authority should be
obtained from Congress by which the Com
missioners could advertise for proposals for
supplying the members of the two depart
ments with uniforms, the contract to be
awarded, Is done, in all other municipal
work, to the lowest responsible bidder. 1t
is argued that If the Commissioners should
be so authorized. they would be enabled to
secure full compliance with all the re-
quirements of the contract, and at the same
time secure better prices.

The Birds of China.


Very early in the worlds history the ma

Selling Vegetables by Weight.
From the Chicago Tribune.

The sealer of weights and measures in
Minneapolis will ask the Minnesota legis-
lature TO pass law requiring all yege-
tables to be sold by weight instead of by
measure as at present. This is designed to
prevent the giving of short measure The
sealer says that the failure to give honest
weight is prevalent that 1t is hopeless
for him to attempt to check 1t, for as fast
as he destroys the measures the dealers
buy new ones. Fifteen pounds Is the weight
of a peck of potatoes. but the pecks sold
in Minneapolis average not more than
twelve pounds. The sealer says that II
weight were the criterion 1t would not be
so easy to give the short measure as most
housekeepers have scales upon which they
could weigh their goods and detect short
ages. while honest weights are more COM
mon than honest measures, and the short
age on goods sold by weight Is less fire.
quent On the continent Of Europe goods
are sold by weight instead Of by measure
and II Is really more Just. especially as in

NEW YORK. August 10.-Interest in New

Rubin contest at Madison Square Garden
tonight. The principals are resting today
preparatory to the struggle. which is billed
to begin at $50 o'clock. Fitzsimmons has
sent word that he will eat dinner with his
wife at Bergen Beach and come direct from
his house to the garden. -
Rubin will go to some hotel contiguous
to the garden and show up in the garden
about the same moment as Fitzsimmons
Both men claim to be in better condition
than ever before. Fitzsimmons says that
he has never been in as prime condition as
he is now and expects and believes that
he will be able to end the fight in the first
round. AS is well known, there is no cham
pionship dependent upon the outcome OF
this match. but the fact that Jim JeHr1eS
has announced that he will give the winner
showing gives the contest almost as much
interest in sporting circles as though
championship was at stake.
Up to- date little or no betting has been
done. The eX-champion seems TO have the
call, but at a figure which indicates
strong Ruhlin sentiment. few bets were
made last night at 100 to 80 on Fitzsim-
mons. and sports predict today that even
money will be offered at the ringside to-
night.
Rubin will spend most of the day at Billy
Maddens house. He will be accompanied
to the garden by Charlie Goff and Madden.

WASTE OF WATER.
Attention Called to Natter by De-
partment Inspector.

Mr.. Thomas Murphy. an inspector in the
water department, recently invited the at
tentior of the acting engineer commission
er, Capt Gaillard to an apparent waste of
water in the public school buildings since
the close of the school year. AT the Force
building. Massachusetts avenue between
18th and 18th streets, from June 90 to the
ID instant 219.0O0 gallons of water IS
charged to have been used. At the Frank
lin building. 18th and K streets, 13S. $50
gallons: at the Potomac building. 18th street
between Maryland avenue and E street
southwest, 41.625 gallons: Tyler building,

water has been wasting day and night.
Capt Gaillard has referred the matter to
Commissioner Macfarland, who has imme-

INCREASE OF COMMERCE
EFFECT OF THE NEW TARIFF ON
PORTO RICAN TRADE.
Both Exports and Imports Greater
Trade With Cuba and In
sular Possessions.

Commerce between the United States and
Porto Rico during the two months in which
the new tarin act has been in operation
shows an en1rmous increase over that of
the corresponding two months Of the pre-
ceding year. This is the more observable
because Of the assertion which has been
frequently made during the past few
months that 'the island is practically i'm
poverished since the storm of last August.
Notwithstanding the conditions due to the
Storm both as to material for exporta-
ton and facilities for purchase, the ex-
ports to thed,Umted States in May and
June, 1900, were so per cent in excess Of
those of the CORRESPONDING months of 1899
and the imports from the United States
were more than double those of the same
months in 1893 In May and June, 1892
the imports Into The United States from
Porto Rico. jas shown by the reports of
the treasury bureau, of statistics. were
81. 461 1913. and in May and June. 1900, they
were S2,322, 124. In May and June, 1S99
the exports to Porto Rico from the United
States were $6GG. .9ST, and In May and June
1900. they were 81, ,5S7 478 Thus the i'm
ports into the United States from Porto
Rico show in May and June, 1900, an in
crease of GO per cent over those of the
same months of 1899, both of which occur
red prior to the storm of that year, and
Porto Rico show an increase of 40 per
cent over the corresponding months of
1899.
The figures of the total commerce with
Cuba, Porto Rico Hawaii and the Philip
pines show in each case a marked growth
especially in exports. To Cuba the total
exports of the year are S26, 3,613 against
S1S.616,377 in the fiscal year 1899. and
50, J61 ,656 in 1898. To Porto Rico the ex-
ports in 1900 are S4,84O435 against So
6S5S4S in 1899, and S1305. .946 in 1898 To
the Hawaiian Islands the exports for the
year 1900 are s13,J09.14s, against $93O5, 40
in 1899. and s5907.125 in 1898. To the
Philippines the exports of 1900 are 81 64O,-
449 against S404 ,193' IN 1899, and Sl27, ,SO4
in 1S9s. To th4 Samoan Islands the ex-
ports of 1900 are sl46.267, against S56,522 in
1899. and S39.9s2 in 1898. To Guam the ex-
ports of 1890 are s132I7, against Sc, sS3 in

American Women Who Marry For
efEners.
From the Philadelphia Record.

The chairman of the United States board
of appraisers has decided that when an
American woman is married to a foreigner
she forfeits all claim to be considered an
American. The case under consideration
was that of Montana woman who went
abroad to study art, and who was duly reg
istered before leaving this country. In Lon
don she was married to an Englishman.
On her return she entered her paintings as
free of duty. ''the work of an American
abroad Because she had a foreigner for
a husband she was required to pay the Is
per cent duty levied on the paintings of
foreign artists. This decision expatriates a
large number Of charming American wo-
men. some Of whom indulged a whIm for a
title. When these women shall weary of
the experience and separate from their hus-
bands in order to obtain divorces their
Americanism will be restored by law The
question the American girl married to O
foreigner has to decide Is whether she viii
give up her country or her husband.
