HAVE EXCLUSIVE PATTERNS
D. Ross & Son Import Laces and En-
broideries From Switzerland.


II would be difficult matter to mem
ton an article of mems or boys wear !
ing apparel that could not be supplied
one from D. Ross & Sons stock. Their
store at POS and 210 Market street fairly
bristles with bargains. In the cloth ]
ing department has been provided al
table on which broken lots of suits are
placed and the price is cut in half. This
clothing is taken out of the regular
stock and not bought and marked down
fer effect.
A new department which was added
TO the store a short time ago is the
white goods section. 1t was placed IN
as an experiment. but it soon grew to
such dimensions that the firm became
jobbers and now import all their laces,
embroideries and appliques direct from
Switzerland. 1t may be interesting TO
know that all laces and embroiderles
are made In foreign countries. Most
stores buy them through jobbers on the
side, but as the Ross store is also a
iobbing depot. these profits are saved.
Exclusive patterns are now being made
abroad for this firm. In their present
January sale OF white goods there are
exclusive patterns never before offered
to Wilmington purchasers. Ladies
underwear. muslins, cambrics, India
, linens, table linens and napkins.
Another department that has beer
Il greatly enlarged is the silk department
to which has been added beautiful de
signs in dress patterns and a big lint
OF staple silks The Mcclure patterns
have exceeded even the fondest hopel
iof the proprietors in their popularity
A pattern for any garment can b.
bought for not more than fifteen cents

MISSING DISPATCHES
ALL ACCOUNTED FOR
No Messages to American Minister
at Bogota He'd Up.

DIR. Herran, Colombian charge, this
morning received an official communica-
tion from the State Department advis-
ing him that all the cable dispatches
which had been thought lost or delayed
in transmission to Minister Beaupre at
Bogota are at last accounted for. The
statement had been made that the Co
lombian government was believed to be
holding up the dispatches sent BY the
State Department 10 the United States
representative in Colombia. The two
dispatches which were missing for sew
eral weeks. it has been learned, arrived
at Panama at the time the Office at
Buena Ventura had been closed by the
cable company and consequently We're
sent to Bogota by mail This accounts
for the delay.
1t is not believed here that the United
States will have any difficulty in get
ting its dispatches transmitted to Bo-
gotta in the future. As long as the
United States has so important interests
in Colombia it is not considered likely
the cable company will precipitate its
contest with the Bogota government in
a manner to interfere with the business

duct Of the institution for the fiscal year

CIVIL SERVICE PAPERS
DESTROYED IN A FIRE
An Exciting Blaze at the
Commissions Building.
NEGLECT IS ALLEGED
Workmen Failed to Clear Away Rub
bish and Spontaneous Combus-
tion Followed.

Fire, supposed to be due to spontan-
Service Building yesterday about 20
o'clock and for time there were grave
fears the structure would be destroyed.
Chief Clerk Doyle and Chief Examiner
Higgins. who were in the building at
the time. gave the alarm.
The waste paper room is in the base
ment and has only one door. The fire
broke out in some bags of paper and
the theory is that greasy paper which
had been used to wrap lunches. caused
the combustion. So dense was the
smoke that the firemen from No. IA
Company. who were summoned by Mr.
Doyle. worked with great difficulty. One
fireman was overcome and several 9th
ers had TO be assisted out OF the build
ing.
The density of the smoke at the door
opening into the waste room from the
floor above. After that was done the
blaze was soon extinguished.
Col w. I. Hines. superintendent OF the
building. said this morning that the
damage will amount to about $50
A number OF private documents of the
Commission were destroyed. but none
of them was OF great Importance. In
order TO keep the private documents
from falling into improper hands all
the paper remaining In the room will
be burned in the furnaces.
Colonel Hines attributed the fire large
ly to the negligence OF the contractors
who remove the waste paper. He said
he had been trying for week to have
the paper taken away. but no attention
was paid to his requests.
