nab A NEGRO
THIEF SUSPECT
EelStOn Gets Man Believed to
Have Robbed Iron
Hill Stores

Suspected of having robbed the
general store of W. B. Walton, at
Iron Hill, after first stealing a horse
and wagon from Charles Walton to
move the stolen goods. Spencer
Jones. a young negro of Newark. has
been jailed at Elkton.
The double robbery was a bold one.
The thief entered the store by climb
ing TO the porch roof and breaking
out a window in the room next to the
Walton sleeping room. He then
walked down stairs. opened the rear
doors and carried out all the dry
goods, groceries and provisions he
desired After relocking the rear
doors the thief made his exit through
the same window by which he en-
tered.
Mrs. Walton heard the noise and
got up out of bed and went to her
mothers room to see II there was
anything the matter with her, but
upon finding her sound asleep, re-
turned to her bod and fell asleep
again, while the burglar was busy.
The stolen horse and wagon were
found about two miles from where the
robbery was committed. The goods
we're found in Jones home, but he
claims that he bought them from an-
other party.

CONGRESSMEN
MAY LOSE SPOILS
Hitchcock Plans to Add to
List of Presidential P. M.
AppOinteeS
MAY MAKE PLAN
A CAMPAIGN ISSUE

WASHINGTON. Aug. 2O.-If sug-
gestion which Postmaster General
Hitchcock is now considering is
adopted by Congress that body will
lose the most valuable PATRONAGE
which it now enjoys The Postmas-
ter General proposes that all second
and third class postmasters be in
cluded in the classified service, and.
therefore. not subject to appointment
upon the recommendation of members
of Congress.
The salaries of these two classes
Of postmasters range from 500 to
$4,000 a year. There are several thou
sand of these office e-holders, and in
many Congressional districts they
form the most important part Of the
party's organization They are al
ways serviceable in returning a Con
gresham to Washington who has
served one term and desires re-elec-
ton
For the reason that most members
OF Congress look to their pOstmast-
ers for valuable support, the Hitch
cock plan, if it materializes, will meet
q stubborn opposition. The House
and Senate Committees on Postofiices
and Post Roads might be prevailed
upon TO indorse the scheme, but it
would take hard lighting to muster
enough votes to put the plan through
either branch.
BY order of former President Roose-
velt just before he left the White
House, the Civil Service Commission
was empowered TO appoint foucth-
class postmasters in New England.
the Middle Atlantic States and in the
States of Indiana, Ohio Illinois, Mich
lgan and Wisconsin. MIR. Roosevelt
had long believed in the classified
tion OF postmasters and he yielded to
the suggestion of many reformers by
putting the experiment into effect.
So far the Roosevelt plan has not
wo 'ked out altogether to the salts
faction of the Postofiice Department,
for the reason, 1t is claimed, that the
Civil Service Commission had had
great difficulty in securing lists of
eligibles.
While it is not expected that the
Administration will champion the
Hitchcock idea az once, It is certain
that II is being considered as one of
the reforms which the Postmaster
General would like to include in his
reorganization of the postal ser
vice.

BEVERLY, Aug. 20-If peace be-

dent Sherman there will be no peace.
Among friends Of the administra-

Colonel Roosevelt, and his newest ulti-
matum that the Vice President must
be dropped from participation in the
political councils of the administra-
tion as the price of peace. is consid-
cred preposterous Colonel Roosevelt
is asking the impossible. they say. A
vice president of the United States
cannot be dismissed with a nod, nor
eliminated by command Moreover,
such q move, they say, would put the
administration in the attitude Of back
ing down to Roosevelt.
The opinion grows among keen po-
litical observers that Roosevelt is pur-
posely asking the impossible, expect
ing the obvious refusal TO capitulate
and making plans to utilize this dis
regard of his views as an excuse to
come out i'm the open and oppose the
the administration.
Even if the Colonel has heretofore
felt that his policies were not being
carried out that the tariff was a mis-
take. that conservation was going

Coins of Aluminium.

After many months Of discussion
and experimenting the French govern
ment has decided not to adopt alumni
ium coinage. This is on the recon-
mendation of the commission of scien-
fists whom the government appointed
to consider the subject. A certain
number of aluminium coins were
made as a test. but the lightness Of
the white metal. which was n Of its
chief recommendations. has condemn
ed il. A five centime piece Il cent?
made of aluminium weighed only 10
grams rs against s grams III bronze,
and it is thought that q coin SO light
would slip through the fingers. espe-
cially the rough fingers Of a workman.
Tests are now to be made of bronze.
containing 10 per cent of aluminium.
which. If adopted. will reduce the
weight by one-half. This combination
of metals possesses Il fine golden yell
low color. and the coins made of it
will therefore be perforated so that
they may not be mistaken for twenty
franc pieces.
