WAS MARINE EVANS KILLED.

Annapolis Especially Private Wal
Ter Evans, of the Marine Corps
whose body was recovered from the
1arbor near his sentry post, was bur
led with military honors in the Ma
;ional Cemetry at the academy.
Although the first supposition that
Evans had fallen overheard and
drowned is accepted by many, there
are some of the dead mans friends
who incline to the theory of foul
play. When the body was recovered
it was found that the man was grasp
ing his bayonet with one hand and
drawing the scabbard the other way,
as if in an effort to draw this side
weapon to defend himself. Al
though the crabs had mutilated the
features considerably, friends of the
dead marine who saw his body claim
that in one of the wounds on the
head was small piece of brass,
which they say indicated that he
may have been struck by someone
whom he caught stealing brass fir
the gun sheds near by.

S35,573,0OO FOR RURAL MAILS.
Free Delivery in Ten Years Has Grown
From $4,000,

Washington, d. C.-The sum OF
$35,573,000 was available the begin
ming of the fiscal year. to maintain
and extend rural free delivery service
throughout the United States. This
is the largest sum yet appropriated
for the purpose. the first appropria-
ton being $4,000 little more than
ten years ago to establish an expert
mental route. The $35,573,00O Is
distributed among 39,145 carriers,
and a small portion of it is used for
clerks in charge of sub-stations, for
tolls and Tor ferry charges.
Postmaster-General Meyer expects
to obtain an appropriation at the next
Congress of about $4,000 to estab-
fish an experimental parcels post ru-
raj route. Postoffice officials believe
that when this route is in operation
one year the report therefrom will
have such weight that Congress will
be induced to authorize it's extension
to every route in the United States.
They think its success will ultimately
rival. if not surpass, the success of
rural free delivery.
