The pretty brown shades are finding such
favor for gowns and suits this fall that
they are necessarily used to a great extent
in the accompanying silk petticoats and
one can find any number of pretty smart
underskirts ready made in the brown silks.
One OF the prettiest mas a deep fiounce of
alternate strappings and rows of hem
stitching and its price is SIS. Another
brown petticoat has deep accordion
plated ruffie with full ruche of the silk
for edgfng.
One Of the most attractive of the new
silk petticoats Is of sober black and white
striped silk. in effect somewhat like the
summer silks dear to our grandmothers.
The fiounce is edged by a very narrow and
very full pinked ruching of grass green
silk and tiny pipings of the same silk form
the further elaboration of the f1ounce. The
price is S15.
Cut steel buckles and slides for the front
and back ornamentation of the belt are
shown in a number of very attractive pat
terms The brilliancy of the cut steel makes
the buckles handsome ornaments for the
waist.
Prettiest Of all the new pins and slides
for the belt are those of gun metal studded
with rhinestones. The CLEAN Of the tiny
ornaments brightens the dull metal and
the effect is particularly good. The price
of the set is 81, and the same ornaments
minus the rhinestone settings, are but 81.
The silver cuff pins are among the pref
test of their kind and set off admirably
the dainty linen cuffs which are so smart
just now. For 81 one can get pretty pair
of sterling silver pins either plain, chased,
or, daintiest Of all, with an edge of tiny
beading.
Dutch pictures, artistic and quaint in
subject and treatment, with broad fiat
frames, are shown in one furnishing shop

FOR PATENT OFFICE LIBRARY.
Award for Steel Stacks and Furniture
and Fittings.


The Secretary of the Interior has directed
the commissioner of patents to award the
contract for the construction Of steel stacks
and supplying furniture and fittings for the
scientific library Of the patent Office to the
Art Metal Construction Company of James
town. N. 7.
The bids for this contract were received
at the Interior Department last Tuesday
by a committee consisting Of Chief Clerk
Irelan and Librarian Prince Of the patent
office and Mr.. William H. DeLacy Of the
Secretarys office. After considering all the
bids the committee recommended that the
one presented by the Art Metal Construc-
ton Company be accepted. This bid was
about $500 lower than the next higher bid
and ain ost $1,000 lower than the second
higher. The Art Metal Construction Com
pany placed the steel stacks in the other
portions of the Interior Department that
have been fitted in this manner and the
work was found satisfactory by the Secre-
tary. The task Of fitting up the new scien-
tiic library Of the patent Office will now
proceed without delay. Chief Clerk Irelan
expects to have the construction of the
stacks begun at once and 1t Is believed it
will be finished within a comparative
short time.

itics In his native state, and had served
its people in many positions of trust. one
Of which was governor Of the state He
came to this city in 1899 as the director of
the census and. proceeded to organize the
bureau. 1t Is said OF Gov. Merriam that
he worked harder than the head Of any
other governmental bureau, and that he
made his subordinates work harder than
the clerks IN any other bureau. He did
this In order that the census returns iaight
be placed before the people and Congress
at the earliest possible time. When the
bureau was organized he was given a GER
tain time to complete the census, and to do
this he wes compelled to force his SUBJ
ordinates to work early and late. As a
result Of this work the last census was the
most complete that has ever been put be-
fore the people. and the subjects covered
by 1t more varied and important.
The members Of Gov. Merriam ) family
refuse to discuss the question of his resis-
nation, as do bis intimate friends Most Of
these admit, however, that the governor
received an offer of an excellent position in
New York and that 1t was held in obeyance.

CENSUS DIRECTOR MERRIAM.
Rumor Of His Resignation, but It Can.
not Be Verified.

The announcement was made yesterday
in a dispatch from st. Paul, Mimi. that
Director Merriam Of the census bureau
would resign his position as chief OF the
census in order to accept a position in New
York with a large mercantile establish
ment. Mr.. Merriam is out of the city to-
day and could not be seen, to verify the
report Chief Clerk McCauley of the census
bureau stated that he knew nothing about
the matter and could not speak author
itatively. Neither could Gov. Merriam sec
rotary. The dispatch referred to stated
that Gov. Merriam had received an offer
Of a position from a New York commercial
house some time ago which would pay him
double the salary he received from the
government as the head of the census
office. Mr.. Merriam was candidate for
appointment as Secretary Of Commerce and
Labor, and would not accept the position.
When Secretary Cortelyou was appointed
to his present position the offer from the
New York house was renewed, and. 1t Is
stated, Gov. Merriam has accepted. 1t
was stated in the dispatch that the resig-
nation would be forwarded to the Presi-
dent today.
Gov Merriam is from Minnesota, and for
several years has been prominently before
the public as the director of the census.
Before coming here he was active In pol

TRADE WITHl PORTO RICO.
Five Times as MUCH as It Was IL

1897.
The Developments OF commercial relations
between Porto Rico and the United States
since the transfer Of that island to the con-
troll Of this county has been phenomenal.
The people OF Porto Rico now find market
in the United States fof five times as much
Of their products as they did in 1897. the
year preceding that transfer; and the peo-
pie Of the United States find a market in
Porto Rico for more than Ave times as
much Of their prSdaets as in 1897. Some
figures Just compiled by the treasury bu-
reau of statistics. .cayering the. commerce
between the United States and Porto Rico
in the calendar year 1902. and compared
with the figures of preceding years, fully
sustain this assertion. They show that the
value OF merchandise shipped from Porto
Rico to the United States in 1902 was
s. 834. 176, against $1.943.251 In 1897: and
that the value Of merchandise shipped from
the United States to Porto Rico in 1902 was
$12, 195, 297, against 81. 023, 7b1 In 1897.
The principal articles for which Porto
Rico finds market in the United States
are sugar, tobacco. coffee. fruits. manu-
features Of straw, hides and skins and dis
titled spirits. The principal articles for
which the United States finds market in
Porto Rico are rice, cotton cloths, manu-
features of iron and steel, provisions, bread
stuffs, manufactures of wood, boots and
shoes, spirits, tobacco, refined sugar, cars

SIMPLY BREATHE IT
Anew Minutes Use Of HyomeI
Four Times Day Cures catarrh

The pleasantest, most convenient and the
only scientific method for the treatment and
cure Of catarrh is Hyomei. Simply put
twenty drops OF Hyomei in the inhaler that
comes with every package and then breathe
1t for 4 few minutes four times a day.
1t seems remarkable that 80 simple a way
for treating catarrh win effect cure, but
the most important discoveries of science
have always been the simplest. By breath
ing Hyomei in this way every particle Of
air that enters the air passages Of the throat
and head and goes into the lungs Is charged
with q healing balsam that kills the germs
and bacilli Of catarrh and soothes and aIlays
all irritation.
The first days use Of Hyomei win show a
decided improvement and in a short time
there will be no further trouble from ca
tarrh. It's action is rapid and lasting.
You take no risk in buying Hyomei. A
complete outfit costs 500, and II after
using you can say that 1t has not helped
you, your druggist will return your money.
What other treatment for catarrh Il sold
under guarantee like this7 None other has
suficient merit.

The modern surgeon employs IN his
work dozens of different kinds Of thread
for sewing UP cuts and wounds. Among
them are kangaroo tendons, horsehair.
silk and very fine silver wire Many Of
these threads are intended to hold for a
certain number Of days and then natur-
ally break away. The short. tough ten
dons taken from the kangaroo. which are
used for sewing severe wounds. will hold
for about four weeks before they break
away. Silk thread will hold for much
longer. sometimes six months, while the
fine silver wire is practically tndestruct-
ible.
With the entire outfit a surgeon Is able
to select q thread that will last long
the wound takes to heal and will then
disappear completely. To accommodate
this assortment Of threads special varie-
ties of needles are required Besides the
needle. craned In different segments of
q circle, surgeons use needles shaped like
spears, javelins and bayonet points. Some
are as long as bodkins, with a point like
q miniature knifeblade. Others have the
sharpened end triangular.

WIZ the elfn Puck to jealous
N.Y. Il Oberon was written by
~ the immortal Bard Of Avon nearly
three centuries ago. With the in
spired imagery Of the true poet
Shakespeare placed the accomplishment
ef the improbable feat in possible
Fairyland, little dreaming that It would
one day become a recorded fact in the
practical. material world of men.
Yet that idly written prophecy Of the
long ago, designed solely for the enter.
tsinment OF royal Elizabeth and her
court, laid bare the heart of a truth
which science has since unearthed TO
haunt In the face OF time. All OF which
goes to show that poet and savant are

Pegasus and the other a spadel Puck
girdled the earth with a wave of thought.
Man now proposes to do the same thing
with a wave of electricity, which serves
as q vehicle for thought. The only diff
ference Is in the method and not the
means
The first step taken toward the fulfill
ment Of Shakespeare's pregnant prophecy
was the laying Of the original deep water
cable across the English Channel in 1850.
The last step began with the spinning of
the long copper thread which enabled
little Hawaii TO send joyous New Year
greeting to her big busy brothers beyond
the sea.
All that now remains is the closing of
the gap between Honolulu and Manila
across the wide waste Of waters that

kisses Of tropical SUM- When this Is
done any man with the price to pay may

OF course, in order to do this, the way
would have to be cleared ahead OF the
message to avoid delays in transmits
sion. Such an arrangement would be i'm
perative, because the volume Of business
done by the various cable systems in tho
world Is enormous that all messages
have to take their turn according to pre-
cedence in filing.

Under these. circumstances It would Dc
