MERIT IN ALL
APPOINTMENTS.

Washington, October 9.-"I want
IT thoroughly understood that no
iPresidental appointee has a prescrlp.
tive right to hold office. l intend to
consult only tho public welfare in
making appointments. As long US a
man proves himself fit and efficient
his position is safe. When he shows
hims elf unfit aud inefficient he will
be removed"
I This Is what President Roosevelt
told Representative Joy, Of Missouri,
to-day and Immediately atterward he
gave q practical demonstration of
what he meant, by removing POST
master Browne. of Wilmington. Del,
and appointing to his place William
II. Heald, an arti-Addicks Republi-
can.
Head was recommendation the-po-
sition by Representative Ball. He
was formerly national bank exam
iner, but Is now a practicing attorney
Of Wilmington.
The blow at Addicks Is taken here
to mean. that the president is deter
mined to place himself in opposition
to bCssism whenever it Is found, es.
.pecially when 1t is linked with cor
Eruption. As Adiicks is u member Of
the Republican national committee.
Mr.. Roosevelt's action is bound TO re-
suit In much discussion.

RURAL.
DELIVERY.

It 10 now understood that the rur.
al free delivery system in Kent
County will be established. Sussex
is also likely to come in for part ol
the system.
Congressman L. Heis.er Ball has
now been notified by the Post Of
flee Department at Washington
that the districts will be formerly
established aud put into operation
as soon as the carriers have been
named by HIM. Recently he had a
conference with Clark M. Mensch
and other Re publicans Of the lower
part OF the state. with the result
the names of the fifty carriers have
been decided upon and have been
sent to Washington, or they will be
in q few days. 1t is expected that
the fifty carriers will be named
within the next two weeks. All OF
the meu named will be Republicans
but it is not likely that all chosen
Will be Of one Republican patty. it
being the intention Of Congressman
Ball to treat all fairly.
This announcement will be good

A LANGUAGE LESSON.
~ GEORGE V. KLINE,

Lurking In her little observatory near
the head Of the stairs, on the second land
ing of Buwnell flats, Mrs. S.llie Swisher
listened to the animated discussion Of the
newly-wedded couple that occupied the
apartments Immediately beneath her own.
The ability displayed by parrots in gaining
an English vocabulary furnished the theme
for the good-natured dispute that was go.
ing on in the rooms Of Mrs. SwAher's neigh.
bors. Charlie Goldsby was certain that the
birds could only discourse in jerky monosyl.
tables, and any efforts spent in trying to
educate the parrots were worse than wasted.
Madge, his wife, championed the intelIec.
tuallty of the parrot tribe and insisted that
time and pat tience, togetheS with scientific
instruction, would make glib talker of the
stupid bird.
While the debate afforded no subject mat
ter for gossip, Mrs. Swisher remained until
Charles spoke few endearing words to his
young vile, kissed her and started down
town to spend portion OF the evening with
his fellow spectators.
As she left her iavorite spot for eavesdrop-
ping Mrs. Swishcr decided to be very polite
and call once more ON her ncwly-married
neighbor. Sallie, elderly, sharp-nosed and
high voiced, did not exactly fancy the calm,
d1tdent Madge, who never seemed to ap.
preciatc the latest choice bit of gossip or
take the least int 0sest in the affairs OF her
neigabors. Besides, Madge had been too
busy to returma previous call. After few
moments OF meditation. Mrs. Swlsher de.
cded to give her ''uppish' neighbor another
chance to be friendly. Civility demanded
u ,u,.,f,,aI Af,e S,.,phnr Rasi,lps vho
might discover some e.iIIyng theme for dis
course the next day.
Thirty minutes later. dressed in n neat
street costume. she descended to the rooms
occupied by Mrs. Goldsby. As she put out
