U. S. TREASURY FAIRLY
0VERRUNS WITH GOLD
Greatest Accumulation in History of
Country and Almost Equals Rus
sia's Highest Marx:

The United States Treasury now has
in its vaults larger sum of gold thar
at any other previous time in the his
tory of the land 1t is thought that it
even exceeds that of any country, at any
time in the history of the world, with
the single exception of Russia about
eight years ago, when that country was
preparing to resume gold payments. Al
that time Russia is said to have had in
it's treasury s59S ,0OO, ,0oO in gold.
Last Saturday the vaults of the United
States Treasury contained s573 1886. .19i
which is an increase since July 1, 1901
of S79, ,0S7S97 This stock of gold is now
being added to at the rate of from
5000, 900 to 100000 day, with no i'm
mediate prospect of cessation in the
rate of deposits. This condition OF
things is eminently satisfactory to the
Treasury officials. who regard it as the
best possible evidence of prosperity and
of confidence in the financial stability of
this country.
The gold now coming in is being re-
placed by gold certificate United States
notes and silver certificates, the former
being supplied where the denominations
wanted are $40 and over United States
notes are returned for the tens and
silver certificates for twos and ones.

INVENTIVE GENIUS
ACTIVE In PAST YEAR
More Applications for Pat
ents Than Ever Before.
Commissioner Allen Has Made Changes
So That Appeals May Receive
Prompt Hearings.

The American inventive genius. as IL.
lustrated from the number of patents
granted by the Patent Office, was more
active during 1902 than ever before.
The applications for patents last year
numbered 51,25s, as compared with 49,
G75 for 1901. an increase of 3,1sS, gain
greater than that reported for any pre-
vious wear.
Mr.. Allen, who before mis- appointment
as Commissioner, was patent lawyer.
and is thoroughly familiar with all
points of law involved in the adjustment
of contested cases before his bureau,
has improved the system OF the bureau
to such an extent that litigated cases. II
appealed Immediately from one examiner
to another, may be tried. and passed
upon by the three tribunals of the de-
partment within sixty days Of the time
the original contest is instituted. This,
Mr.. Allen says, lis faster than the attor-
neys generally wish"
Out of 51,25S applications fled last
year only 1 out of every 1,500 was car
ried to the District Court of Appraisers.
OF The twenty-seven cases submitted to
the court during the eight months prior
to June 80, in no instance was the de-
partment's decision reversed.
The number of applications for pat
ents has increased steadily each year,
Mr.. Allen says, with the exception OF the
Spanish war year, when public attention

CHAUTAUoUA COUNTY, N. r.,
A MODEL FOR RURAL ROUTES
Plans of Placing County System in Its
Entirety Is Inaugur-
ated There.

The Postofice Department expects to
have in operation in Chautauqua county,
n. Y, by the middle of the present
month system of rural free delivery
which will serve as model for the in
stallation of future service in all parts
of the country.
Chautauqua county was chosen for tins
purpose. as it is a thickly settled dis
tIict, where an extensive system OF
rural free delivery is a necessity. Thir-
ty-six routes are already in operation in
the county and fifty more will be placed
in operation by September 10, the ex-
tensive system being supplied by twen-
ty-six distributing Offices.
This method of establishing county
system in it's entirety within such a
short space of time is a new feature
OF the work of the rural free delivery
division, it having been the policy here
tofore to add such single routes as the
demands for their service increased, but
