T. Coleman DUPONT at St. Thomas

General duPonts speech was printed

rather than to the pockets Of the in
dividuals.
"A few years ago a law was passed
granting $4,000 to investigate "a plan
to deliver mail on rural delivery
routes to our farmers and country
residents. The law was treated
about as respectfully as the long
headed Jesse Hawley who wrote a
series of articles advocating the
building of the Erie Canal; a certain
paper printed a few OF them but the
editor sent the remainder back saying
he could not use them-they were
making his paper an object of ridi-
cule. Eighteen years later the canal
was built and IN the first year
brought in a revenue of S492, ,644. Sc

appropriation-the postmaster gener-
al 10 whose hands that first $4,000

poses. refused to try il and sent the
money back to the treasury. To-day
the Rural Free Delivery is an es-
tablished fact, Of immeasurable bene-
fit: and if any OF the appropriations
for il are not expended il is not be-
cause they are being sent back to the
treasury by scrupulous officials
Rural delivery routes diverge from
our towns and cities and give The
country people the advantages. of :

pie of Delaware are doing just wha
Jesse Hawley did and the FIRST Post

not put into force years and years

portunities allowed to go by.
Roads Aid Social Life
"An unimproved road system, be
sides bringing poor schools and poo
churches, has. rendered impossible
any genuine community of socia
interests among country people. A
the very season when the farm worl
is light and social intercourse feast
bic, at that season the highways ar
impossible. To this and the poo

buted the saddest and really mos

Daniel O'Neal and William Wingate,
lock tenders at the Delaware City
entrance of the Chesapeake and Della

last night, discovered in the water the
body Of man which when brought
ashore was found to be that of sol

tilted as Private Michael j. Corliss,
who was known as big Mike" He
was a member Of the Fourth Com
pany. Coast Artillery, stationed at
Fort Mott, n. J.
He had been missing since Wednes-
day. At first IL was thought the body
was that of Private DeArmond, sta
toned at Fort DUPONT. who also has
been missing for several days Cor
Uss was camping with his company
al Fort DUPONT which explains how
he came TO be on the Delaware side
of the river The body was drogged
from the water and removed TO the
fort. Coroner Chandler being notified
later. Tho latter today turned the
case over 10 the War Department.
Captain Edwards, acting command

oner Chandler that Corliss was sent
TO the canal on Wednesday TO look
after some Of the arrangements being
made TO remove the company 10 which
he belonged back to Fort Mott. Tie
was last seen going around the house

The officers at Fort DUPONT suspect
no foul play but a rigid investigation
will be made, nevertheless. Corliss
