it might be that there was some reason
for complaint but on referring to the
state records we find that ae usual
Mitchell is using fraudulent methods
in her attempt to make point. The
figures used in the above table from
1891 to 1894 are correct but from 1895
to 1904 Mitchell has included the
whole maintenance appropriation in
order to pull the wool over voters eyes

BIDS UNDER CONSIDERATION.
Proposals for Doing photographic
Work for the Patent Office.

Secretary Hitchcock has under considera-
tion the proposals to furnish photographic
work for the patent office for the next fiscal
year. Bids were opened for this purpose
several weeks ago. and only one bidder re-
sponded to the invitation of the depart
n,ent. putting in a bid which was consider
ed far In excess of the amount that should
be charged. The bid was therefore rejected
and the matter readvertsed.
Bids for the work were opened Wednes-
day. and three bids We're received. Two of
the new bids were from local firms and one
from a New York concern. The bid of the
out-of town company was 5000 lower than
that OF the lower OF the other two. One
local firm has been doing this work for the
department for many years past to the
eminent salts faction of all concerned. But
the question of paying 5000 more for the
work is one that requires thorough study
The work amounts to about $2D0OOO a year

nothing. He only knew that he loved the
whispering of the wind in the trees. the

waves. He found in music something more
than enjoyment. He believed that roads
led from music to everything that was
good and he remembered long ago In

Special li-patch to The Evening Star
PORTSMOUTH, Va, June 1.-THE post
office az Port Norfolk was burglarized. the
safe blown open and robbed of money and
postage stamps and the records of the office
stolen between 1880 and ! o'clock this
morning.
There Is no clue as yet to the identity of
the robbers but three strange white men
were seen in the vicinity of the post office
half an hour before the explosion occurred,
and 1t is believed that they were the per-
petrators of the crime.
The robbers secured 1925 cash and about
<iOn worth of postage stamps. The money
order books were left behind the burglars
evidently being old enough hands to real
tze the certainty of capture in the event
that they attempted to use this class of
stamped paper.
