PRAISE FOR PRESIDENT.
London's 'Thunderer" Comments on Ameri-
can Political Changes.

London. March 3o.-"The Tines thi. morning
commenting editorially upon what it describes as
the remarkable change in the attitude OF the po-
ntical parties in the United States toward Prest-
dent Roosevelt and his policy, says that his reward
for holding that policy against all opposition Is
of the most remarkable personal victories ever
won in public life.
There is policy before the people of the United
States, says The Times except his policy. Party
lines have been obliterated, and the three candi-
dates before the country politically indis-
tinguishable. Their programmes all of one
color. and that color is in American politics.
That is very curious and interesting situa-
ton continues The Times" 1T revives ones

under the most democratic forms man may stiu
impose his personality upon the conduct of a ma

the way of the d likes of Devonshire to be

their participation in public life is from sense

After many efforts county constable
Lucius {. Jones succeeded on Monday
afternoon in gaining admission to the
rooms occupied by J.. Edward Addicks
at 1000 King street, Wilmington, and

This was done under n writ OF pos
session secured by John W. Goodwin,
OF Philadelphia. who bought the build
ing from MIR Addicks some time ago.
Since then Addicks has had possession
of two rooms and part OF the basement
and refused 10 leave. The claim is for
the expense OF getting the writ Thus

Murder Mystery Solved

The strange killing OF John Cook,
the i3-ycar-old boy in Delaware City,
on !hc night OF March go. was explain
cd Wednesday evening, and the theory
OF the plot against the lie OF Sergeant
Blackburn was exploded. when John
Black, a Il year old colorcd boy CON
icsscd that he did the shooting and
that il was purely accidental
Black stated in his confession that
lie was loading his revolver on the
end OF the canal bridge when the wca-
pom was suddenly discharged lie
heard a scream and ran over to the
store. When he found he had killed
the boy he went home and has been in
an agony 81 terror at his deed ever
since.
State Detective ellis. in running
down the clcws found reasons to sus-
pcct Black and by closely questioning
him succeeded in drawing out the con
iession. II is said that Black was very
fond OF the little Cook boy and that the
two were playing ball together but a
short time before the shooting.
