ANOTHER REASON ASSIGNED.


There has been more or less specula-
ton as TO why President Mckinley has
not appointed a Republican postmaster
for Wilmington. The Wayfarer has
heard various reasons assigned, but, by
all odds, the strangest is this:
Dr. Evan G. Shortlidge is a member
OF the Wilmington Board of Public
Education. He also has much TO dc
with the plans for the new high school
to be built at Delaware avenue and
Adams street. A son of Henry G.
Morse is connected with firm Of Bos-
ton architects, and is desirous OF OBJ
tanning the purse offered by the Board
Of Public Education for the best plans
for the new building, as well as the
credit OF having designed the leading
handsomest school building in Will
mington. To let in outside architects
who would not compete for a SSO'
purse, the price was raised to $3.50
The political end OF it all is that ex
Mayor Shortlidge is to secure for Mr.
Morse's son the prize for the higl
school drawings, and, in return for th'
favor, Mr.. Morse is to have the ex
mayor appointed postmaster.
1t is a novel political deal, and M
doubt both men Will deny that an.
such understanding exists betweel
them.

THE TuRrLE FAD.

Girls Of Wilmington now have the
turtle fad, and the Wayfarer notices
that quite number OF them is affect
ed A young man who thinks that a
girl is the sweetest thing on earth, 81
and who is, at the same time, too slow
to tell her so. is expected to send her
a small gold or silver turtle stick-pln
and she understands its significance
This turtle song without words is lead
ing to many engagements which have
hung fire because OF the slowness OF the
young men in asking the vital Ques.

LIGHT FANTASTIC AT PENNS-
WILLIE

LIGHT FANTASTIC All PENNio-
WILLIE.
To a person who has been in the
habit OF seeing dances OF large and
small proportions in the city one at
Pennsville Is characterized by many
features which strike the eye as novel.
The first is the democratic simplicity
OF dress. There are some nice cos
tunes worn by the young women, but
most OF them are more for comfort
than for show. The men folk are
equally unconventional in their attire
and a dress suit, or even full black
suit, is rarely II ever seen. Tickets Ol
admission are not sold, and no charge
is made for participation In the round
dances, but each man who dances th'
squares must buy three tickets fol
twenty-five cents, or, falling to do that
pay ten cents for each square dance II
which he INDUCES. The collections arr
usually made by the floor manager be-
tween the first and second figures O
the dance. II seems strange to SCI
him moving from couple to couple an,
from set to set making collections o
checks OF receiving cash and givinl
change The collections made, tn
fiddler is informed, end the second fig
ure begins. What is quite uncommon
in this neighborhood, and what is be
coming rarer and rarer in the rura
districts OF Delaware, the figures ar
called by the floor manager.
Still, dancers are dancers, and tn
manner OF dancing Is merely one q
locality. The Wayfarer never sa'
young folk more thoroughly enjo
themselves on the waxed floor, and {
the matter OF grace and precision som
Ui them can give our city dancer
points and then not suffer by compar
son.

He was a stranger in town and the
street arab seernPd TO know it. Who
he was the Wayfarer does not know
but his desire was to obtain entrance
to the Wilmington and Brandywine
cemetery.
Boy" he said, "can you tell me how
can get into this cemetery without
much trouble?"
Yes, sir" said the youngster.
"How?" inquired the stranger.
"Buy a lot and shoot yourself" said
the boy, making of as fast as his legs
would carry him.

FAvoRs THE FOREIGNERS.

"In my opinion the War Revenue
law discriminates against our own peo-
pie" said a Court House official to the
Wayfarer 'I was at the post office
on Saturday for the purpose OF sending
money order. / was informed that
must pay a tax Of two cents. While
was there an Italian came in to use the
mails for the transmission OF some
money to Italy. He didn't pay any
thing in the shape OF tax, the law cv
empting foreign money orders"

GARBAGE MEN DELINQUENT.

To the ears OF the Wayfarer there
come several complaints from persons
residing in the neighborhood of Tenth
street and Trenton Place that the gar
bage men whose duty it is to keep that
section Of the city free from filth are
delinquent this warm weather. In
some instances. there has been but one
collection a week, and in at least one
instance the collection was not mad,
for week and a-half.
