POSTOFFICE FIGHTS SETTLED?

In the Every Evening last Monday
there appeared a long article stating
that the general indications were that
the several postoffice appointments
which have been hanging fire for several
months would be made before Governor
Wilson is inau gurated in March. There
are five towns in Delaware whose post
masters have been holding for almost
year, and whose appointments have
not been made because the senators
could not agree as to the appointments.
These towns are, Milford, Laurel, Milton,
Smyrna, and New Castle. If the article
published in the Every Evening is
appointment will be made for
all of the Offices allowed named with the
exception of Milford. As yet no decision
has been reached in the postmaster fight
here, where three persons want the
place.

THE RANKS ARE FULL.

The conditions in Company B, of the
State Militia, located in Milford. are
tiattering to the new captain, James w.
Cannon, who since having assumed com
mand of this, one of the very first mill
tia companies to be reOrganized in Della
ware after the War of the Rebellion,
has brought it to the very first rank in
efficiency. Another point is emphasized
by the actual enlistments in the COM
pany standing at the maximum allowed
by the State in time of peace. In the
last month Captain Cannon has dis
charged three men who have failed to
appreciate their opportunity as members
Of the company in measure, and their
places were Immediately filled from a
waiting list of eligible young men, who
had applied for membership. This is a
condition which probably does not exist
IN another company in the Organized
Militia of Delaware, and it shows that
Captain Cannon is not only making men,
bership interesting to the Young men,
but that they fully appreciate the honor
of becoming members. The waiting list
Of those who desire to become members
will be instructed in the duties and given
the privilege of the armory amusements
and practice in basket ball and other
athletic sports, and when a vacancy ex-
ists the most proficient of them will be
aiken into the service. When the new
rife range is completed at the shore.
and the opportunity for rifle shooting
for the season opens, these men will be
given chance to learn that branch of the |
work as well. Captain Cannon has asked I
for the election of "A second lieutenant /
10 fill the vacancy caused by the election 1
If Lieutenant Samuel Marshall to the .
irst lieutenancy, and with another hust- (
ing lieutenant Company B should rank
n a figure of merit. Al
