Washington, June l2.-President Nc
Kinley's official announcement this morn
ing disposng of the third term idea sug-
gested by some of his admirers created
no great surprise among his friends who
have known of his deep convictions on the
subject. When Senator pepew's sugges-
ton 10 days ago that the president should
be reelected for a third term began to be
seriously discussed, and when several of
the presidents friends felt called upon to
indorse the idea, the president decided
that the public mind should be instantly
cleared of even the suspicion that he was
seeking to break down the preeedents of
the past by becoming candidate for
another term.
He preached the subject to Secretary
Long late yesterday afternoon. He told
him that he believed an announcement at
the very inception of the discussion would
be wise and last night officially informed
the members of the cabinet, who had been
/ informally called together, of his decision,
1t met with hearty approval. There was
unanimous concurrence in the belief that
discussion of third term for the presi-
dent, if allowed to go on, would
not only place the president in a false
light before the country, but would arouse
antagonism and would badly embaTass
the administration in the solution of the
great questions before it. The brief an
nouncement which the president had pre-
pared was given out by Secretary Cortel-

Child Feared the Shooting

While the firing of guns and revol-
vers on the stage often adds to the
scenic effect and portrays the idea in
tended by the author of the piece, il
often detracts from the play for
frightening timid men. women and
children. Recently while in Docksta-
ders Theatre the Wayfarer saw the
effect of the report of a revolver upon
a bright little boy of about five years
A laughable farce was introduced by
the rapid firing of a revolver behind
the scenes. The little fellow jumped
from the seat beside his mother and
ran out into the side alley of the
theatre. He stayed out until hC
thought that the pistol practice was
over when he returned to the door and
in a whisper, asked the Wayfarer il
they were done shooting. Upon re.
ceiving an affirmative answer the
child resumed his seat alongside o.
his parent.
Everyone who saw the incident was
amused except the child, whose face
was blanched and who was uneasy fol

sumed.

Today we print in another coumn
the names OF the superintendent and
carriers. and the substitutes. SO far as
selected, wlhicn Congressman Ball win
submit to the Postoffice Department
eanly next week. for the rural mail SER
vice OF Kent county. These selections
have required a great deal of labor,
and have been made in every instance
with reference. primarily, to the good
OF The service. 1t is not an easy mat
ter to select SO many good. efficient
men at The salary they will receive,
and il may be possible that time will
reveal that there win have to be GER
tain changes, which those interested in
the service win not hesitate to make.
In these selections Congressman
Ball and his Kent advisers have not
been actuated by a marrow partisan
spirit Il would be neither good po,i-
tics nor the proper public spirit TO
make Of il means simply for reward
ing political service. Scanning the list
Of carriers one wiz find Republicans of
various compilations. and whether the
factions are equally represented, or one
outnumbers the other in the list, has

Certain offices will be abandoned, be-
ing replaced by stations or stamp Of
fees. This, of course. will reduce GER
tain salaries, but in every case the peo-
pie will have a better service. There is
some talk of objection to the service
at the points where the stationl
are TO replace THE postoffices. This is
inspired either by friendship TO the

block the new system for political rea-

To feel we have something to give
Toward soothing the moan of earth.

TWO PLACES OF HISTORIC INTEREST
TO THE VISITOR IN WILMINGTON

A place which no visitor to this city
should fail to see is the quarters Of
the Delaware Historical Society, in
Market street, near Tenth. There are
thousands of people who have lived
in Wilmington for years, or probably
all their lives, who never have visited
the place: but, as "a prophet is not
without honor except in his own
country" this is not to be marvelled
at. There are people living in Boston
who never saw Faneuil Hall, the old
Cradle of Liberty" which every
schoolboy knows of, nor even Old
Christ Church, in the tower of which
Robert Newman hung the lantern
which guided Paul Revere on his IA
nous ride.
In the rooms of the Delaware His
torical Society are to be found all
sorts Of relics, dating from pre-reyo-
lutionary times. There are one-time
belongings of the immortal Washing
ton; rare old Colonial china; weapons
and arms of all descriptions; rare and
valuable books, pamphlets, and in
fact everything that would go to make
up q historical collection. Everything
is admirably arranged, and the build
ing is open to the public from 1 to
o'clock daily except Sunday.
The building itself is quaint and
teens with interest. 1t is a squat, two
storied affair. On either side of the
door, which is in the centre of the
front Of the building, there is one big

convert them. Imagine the state Of
the savage mind when told that his
doctrine was right in the main, but the
brand was wrOngl Take our own
state as an example; ; in every town there
are struggling churches supported
largely by the contributions of those
who can III afford it. If it were nee
essary there would be no room for
complaint. but religious work of the
same general character is constantly
overlapping when, indeed. it does NOT
breed astagonisms To be perfectly
honest let us say that in order to pay
ministers salaries and to raise church
funds people are induced TO give when
at times II means the abridgement Of
the necessaries of life.
II is fortunate that the clergy see
the evil. and are coming to under
stand that a great part Of the funds
raised for religions purposes are
wasted. Let us do a little figuring. In
one small town OF 1900 inhabitants
there are four churches teaching
practically the same doctrines. At
certain seasons they hold union SER
vices TO which all are invited which
shows two things; that they all may
worship under the same form, and
that one building will seat the com
bined congregations. Each OF the
four clergymen is paid $1,000, and it
costs $500 more for general church
work. This means that the town is
spending $4,000 per annum for reN-
glous purposes. not to mention the oc-
casional extra expense of building a
new edifice If one preacher could do
the work and only one building were
required, either the people could save
$4,000 or that amount could be spent
in charity on home or foreign mis-
sions. A town OF 1900 persons which
raises $4,000 for religion takes four
dollars from each person. But the
persons who contribute will not be
more than a third. which means s12
each.
This Is no argument against liberal
giving, but when there are so many
noble charities whose needs are press
ing. so many dark spots OF the earth
where the Gospel has never been car
ried. is it not our right, yes, our duty
to see that that which we give shall be
most wisely expended? OF course as
long as the members OF a creed be-
lieve that an observance Of its pecul-
lar form of worship is necessary to
salvation. there can be very little
progress. But when members Of va
rious religious bodies join in union
services. there can be no excuse for
overlapping and mutual interference.

no PRoHIBIT THE GAME

Congressman Wachter is going to
introduce measure in Congress pro-

Army and Naval Academies. Possibly
that statesman failed to procure tickets

players becoming physically incapaci-
rated, thus becoming a burden on the
Government We are told that There are
many men injured annually by indulg-

occasional death resulting from an ac-

game as played by these academies
and until it is. the cause fer prohibi

What was formerly the gallery has
been converted into a second floor, and
the original floor, of brick, has been

a slate roof has succeeded the old

viii Make Them Men

From the st. Louis Republic
When those fifty rich young English
men get fairly settled down to the
WORK Of plowing for spring wheat on
the Kansas lands owned by their faith
ers they should begin to feel a new and
healthy interest in life.
There is nothing so well calculated
to reveal the beauty and worth of this
old globe to degenerate eyes as a re-
turn to the soil and a taking up
of the earliest form of labor known to
man. These young Englishmen, and
many wealthy Americans of their class
need just such an experience to make
men of them. They have had too much
of civilization in its luxurious
phases. Honest toll, and especially
field work in the open, will be theiI
salvation.
The wise English farmers who now
send their sons to learn farming in
this country are doing more than mere
ly making farmers of the lads. They
are insuring health and happiness anC
a brighter viewpoint of life. The ar
