$40 MONTHLY PENSION
Granted Policeman Crawley Of Local
Police Force.

Capt Isaac Pearson. Capt. John A. SWIM
dells and Lieut.. Michael Byrnes, compos-
ing the police retiring board, have recon-
mended to the Commissioners that Pri-
vate A. H. Crawley of the metropolitan
police force be retired on a pension of $50
a month. Private Crawley. it is said, is
suffering with tuberculosis contracted
while in the service. The recommends
ton of the police retiring board is as fol-
lows:
I'VE find that on five different occasions
Private Crawley was rejected by the
board of surgeons as not physically quail
flied for the position and that his ap-
pointment was made after the Commits
sioners had waived cause of rejection.
Consequently, in our opinion, he is not
entitled to the same consideration that
should be extended member of the force
who had met all the requirements, and
we therefore recommend that, upon his
removal from the force, he be pensioned
at the rate of only $50 a MONTH
From the papers in the case it is ascer-
tanned that Officer Crawley has spent the
past two months at Lake Saranac, and
during that period has greatly improved
in health. The physicians advised him to
leave the police force.
Commissioner West has approved the
recommendation of the retiring board.

the cage in which several wolves were kept
and started the work OF cleaning the apart

animals. Had it not been for the prompt ar
rival of another keeper he would probably
have lost his life. AS II was the animal bit
and tore his arms and so badly injured one
finger that it was feared amputation would
be necessary.
On prior occasion the keeper was attack

time ne was wearing Eeavy garments which

POLICE FORCE INADEQUATE.
Scarcity Of Applicants Of Prope,
Qualifications for Appointment.

There are twenty-eight vacancies In the
police department, and, 1t Is said, applicants
who have the required qualifications cam
not be had for the places The civil serv-
ice examination for these places was held
a week ago. when thirty or more candidates
presented themselves, but this list WI be
materially cut down by failures to pass.
Major Sylvester is short of policemen in
all of the police precincts, and is anxious
to have the quota established. In No. 4
precinct, for instance, there are seven men
In a section where there were formerly
eleven, and the same proportion of de-
crease exists elsewhere. Major Sylvester
hopes that the increased compensation for
members of class one will induce appii-
cants to come forward, when he will sup
ply the present deficiencies and endeavor
to assign additional men to the villages in
the outlying district, which so much need
additional protection.

tinued for Season.

The propagation of shad by artificial
means at the Bryan's Point station of the
United States fish commission has been
stopped for the season. and Saturday after
noon last the greater part of the force en-
pioyed at the station was laid off and sent
back to this city on the yacht Phalarope.

scarcity of shad In the Potomac this season
and the consequent difficulty In obtaining
the spawn to hatch 1t is said the operations
at the station were not as successful this
year as they have been In the past. The
men now at the station are winding up
the work there. and by the end of the
month the buildings will be closed until the
hshtng season of next spring.

Imports From Cuba.


Taking up the details of the imports and
exports 1t is found that the bulk of the re-
cent increase In the imports of the United
states from Cuba Is made up of sugar. The
imports of sugar during the nine months
ended March, 1904, amounted to $50, $685.
s.3 In value, as against $25, 7O7 1881 during
the nine months ended March, 1903 In
terms Of quantity, these two sums repre-
sent ,129,S 99.O70 pounds In 1904 and 1, 491-
aso.1s pounds In 1903, respectively. The
hgures show that about 20 per cent of this
increase was secured during the three
months of January, February and March,
!9O4-the period Of reciprocity Thus, the
imports of sugar from Cuba In January
1911, were 81, ,951; in February 1904
$6,2'3,97S. and in March, 1904, IS, 259, 1855;
making total for the three months of
$l9,315, 2S5. or about 20 per cent of the total
Tor the whole nine months ended March,
19O4-S32 1913. This large recent addition
to the importation of cane sugar by the
United States has not been followed by any
material variation in the price of sugar in
this country.
The increases in the values of articles ex-
ported from the United States to Cuba are
much more diver sified than in the case of
the imports. The appended table shows the
increases in several Of the more important
lines, giving the figures for March 1903,
and March, 1904, and also for the two nine
months period ending with those two
months. 1t will be seen that especially i'm
portant increases have been registered in
the exports to Cuba of -four, cotton CLOTH
sewing machines, locomotives, leather, lum-
Der and furniture. In articles of less i'm
portance increases are also shown.

RURAL FREE D ELIVERY
THE SERVICE WILL BE COMPLETE
LY REoRaANIzED.
Eight Divisions to Be Reduced to Six
Route inspectors to Be Increased
Carriers Pay Raised

A complete reorganization of the rural
free delivery service will have been effected
July J, and the service from that date will
be, 1t is expected by the projectors. superior
to anything heretofore attempted In mail
delivery in any country. At present there
are eight divisions incorporated In the rural
free delivery service, but July they will be
reduced to six. additional route inspectors
will be employed the pay of carriers will be
increased and the new regulations generally
become effective.
There will be six division inspectors hav-
ing . corps of 163 rural agents, or men who
have been known as route inspectors and
special agents. These men have been en-
ployed to inspect proposed routes and re-
port ON their desirab:lity and there were
twenty-four less than there will be after
July l. They will be all known then as rural
agents. The following schedule of pay has
been adopted and will become operative on
the beginning of the new fiscal year:
Routes of not less than twenty miles. .$12O

not less than sixteen. Observation-Disclosures. go

Under the new law carriers will not be
permitted to act as agents for newspapers
or any ether class of business and all papers
destined for persons on routes must bear the
name os the person to whom they are to be
delivered, the carriers not being otherwise
permitted to deliver them. Favors Tor per-
sons along the routes may be done to Inn
tied extent and when not interfering with
the work of the route, but the department
will see that the law is rigidly enforced
The appropriation for the rural free de-
livery service TO. the coming year is 500
T73, 100, but this sum will not enable the de-
partment to create as many new routes as
was possible last year. The reason for this
is that 81 per cent of the appropriation Will
be used tc pay salaries of carriers under the
increased rate of pay. 1t is expected. how
ever, that with the new order OF Things II
will be possible to establish routes at the
rate of about GOD month after the first OF
July. At this rate the entire appropriation
will oe expended by the time Congress
meets in December and another emergency
appropriation will be asked to carry the
work through to the end of the fiscal year.

f1ints for Summer
Fittings and furnishings

Now that the designers have pro-
duced such pretty summary mate
rails with which to make radical but
inexpensive changes in the furniture
coverings and hangings throughout
the house, custom has relaxed its
ideas OF baroness and brown Hol-
land slips" in favor of the fresh cool
and also washable draperies, which
are delight to look upon. Charm
ing effects and dainty color schemes
are now used to beautify the home
instead of compelling the family to
dwell in the utter dreariness of
stripped dismantled house.
Hangings Of French cretopnes are arranged in
the quaint English style and suggest the prim
furnishing Of some old British home. Straight
hanging curtains either side OF the window are
finished with deeo valance the window
top. while beneath and against the glass soft
filmy draperies which simply subdue the outside
glare and do not exclude the fresh air.

EFFECT OF TREATY
RECIPROCITY WITH CUBA IN
CREAsES TRADE.
Imports Have Doubled Since First Of
the Year-Growth in
Exports.

Commerce between the United States and
Cuba is already showing a material in
crease under the operations of the new re-
cilrocity treaty. That instrument went
into force on December 81, tp03, and there
fore all the commercial transactions be-
tween the two countries since January /,
1901, reflect the influence of the treaty and
furnish measure of it's effectiveness. Sta
tistics compiled by the Department of Com
rlerce and Labor, through its bureau of
statistics, and covering the months of jan
uary, February and March, 1904, compared
with figures of previous periods, show the
results of Cuban reciprocity thus far.
The increase Of trade between the United
States and Cuba during the first three
moEths of the present calendar year, as
compared with the corresponding three
months of 1908, is apparent both in our i'm
ports from Cuba and in our exports to Gu
ba, as will be seen by consulting the fol-
