CHURCHES AND CHURCHMAN'S.
A devout and God-fearing people, Lewes is
blest with full complement of churches.
have only seen three of them and curiously
enough each Of these IL located in its denomi-
national cemetery. The first church erected
was Presbyterian and singularly to say was To-
Gated upon the ground where the Episcopal
Church now stands. and was built in Ills,
but was destroyed and another located else
where. The first building of importance in the
town was also located on the same spot and was
erected in 1920. The first English clergyman
came to Lewes in 17os. The Rev. William
Beckett came from England in 1I22 and erected
an Episcopal church and gave it the name Of
81. Peters. In 1918 John Penn, then gov
ernor of Delaware, presented an ele-
CANT communion service to the church
which is in use at the present time. The first
Methodist church was erected in 1891, and.
though the last erected of the three denomina-
tons here, has the largest following, am told.
The Episcopal Church is ritualstic to an ex-
treme degree. having the only supplied choris-
.ers in the state south of Wilmington, using
burning candles. &c, in the Catholic
churches. As stated. each church is surrounded
by graves of its deceased members, the tomb
stones having filed the space in front church
yards close up TO the walk and ex-
tending to the very doors of the churches.
The graveyard surrounding st. Peters is the
oldest and most interesting, including among
its entombed notable characters in the history
Of the state and the country. Besides those of
American nationality here rests the remains Of
one whose name has appeared in print so often
it will be familiar to every one. The inscrip-
ton. which is deeply engraved upon plain
marble shaft, about five feet high and some
twenty-four inches square neatly protected by a
corrcspondingly simple projecting cap stone, is

by Engineer Clspp, who is employe Of the

over an hour and half. An executive session
OF the committee followed. after which Mr.
Clspp announced practically that the confer

that there would be another and probably final
one on Monday.

House Letter Boxes.

With the view Of extending the. use OF the
house letter boxes Postmaster General Wanna
maker has issued an order authorizing the post
masters Of free delivery cities and towns and
rural communities to put up such boxes at the
request OF citizens. The Postmaster General
has accepted the proposition Of such in
ventors as desired to put up boxes at their own
expense to give practical demonstration Of
their value. Accordingly tests were made Of
four different boxes by the postmasters Of St.
Louis and this city. The boxes approved will
be exhibited at post Offices by the postmaster,
and all post Office employees have been directed
to facilitate their introduction. Houseksepers
desiring to try the new mail delivery scheme
must select and purchase box Of one Of the
styles approved by the department.
As fast a. patrons Of the mails desire them
the new facilities Of immediate deliveries to safe
receptacles and Of collections direct from
house doors will be within reach without any
expense TO the householder except the first cost
Of the box and without any departmental out
lay at all, past or future, - the expenses Of the
tests have been borne by the inventor them
selves.
II has already been decided to experiment.

ton with the country free delivery and the long

THE SEWER EXPERTS.

Mayor Carroll evidently does not pro-
pose to have the money O. the city frittered
away by fancy commissions, such as bis
predecessor INDUCED in.
One OF the experts OF the Sewer Commits
sion rendered his resignation to the Mayor
last week, and in doing so disclosed the fact
that, although appointed last October,
nothing has so far been done by the Com
mission except to look over the ground.
The people OF this city are demanding
sewers In every direction, and in answer
to that demand, pilgrimage was made to
different points throughout the country
at quite an expense by the Board Of Health,
and, as a result, il was deeemed necessary to
appoint experts to settle the matter. 1t is
evident that the investigation left the
Commissioners unable to recommend any
thing.

tend to fill the vacancy on the Commis-
sion, and il the other two have not done
any more than the one who has resigned,
the Mayor may consider il wise move
in the interest OF the city 10 cancel their
commissions and insist upon the two
engineers in the employ of the city doing
their work without outside assistance.

CHAIRMAN CAMPBELL.

The Republicans are evidently deter
mined to "get together" They viii quite
likely have a scrapping match when they
get there, though, as General Clarkson
who was Chairman OF the last National
Committee, and who, according 10 his
statement before the meeting yesterday
held for organization, had iorty-two
States pledged to him for the Chairman
ship.
In the face of that fact, however, the
candidate, as Mr.. Clarkson puts it, want
ed some one else for Chairman-one upon
whom he could place more confidence, it
is to be supposed. Evidently all opposi-
tion on the part Of "the candidate" did
not cease at Minneapolig. The result
was that W. j. Campbell of Illinois was
chosen. Mr.. Campbell, everyone will
readily remember, is President Of the
Board Of Village Trustees in Riverside,
Illinois.

the TERRITORIAL DELEGATE.

One OF the humorous features OF a Ma
tional Convention is the territorial dele
gate. Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Okla
homa and the Indian Territory, no one of
which has an electoral vote in the Presi-
dental election, are just rs potent, so far
as their votes go, in the choice Of candi-
dates as the State delegates. Why they
Democratic Convention is past finding out, q,
though the practice only dates back TO
1885.
The Republicans took them in from the
beginning, but that was for the purpose
OF making numbers. In its first Conven-
tions the Republican party only had re-
presentation from the northern States,
and in order TO increase their size it In
vited the territories to send delegates.
For the same reason it also appointed two
delegates for each electoral vote in the
states, and by these means was enabled In
the beginning to assemble in respectable
numbers. But there was no reason why
the Democrats should have followed this
absurd course. The Conventions are too
large now. One delegate and one alter
nate for each electoral vote will amply
represent the party, and will be a body
large enough for wise deliberation. There
is such thing as turning convention
into mob, and the method being pur.
sued tends perilously near that now.
