A RADICAL CHANGE.
New York Tribune Cuts Its Price
and Changes Its Style.

New York. Oct. 21.-The New York
Tribune, founded by Horace Greeley in
1871, announced with it's issue this morn
ing that two radical changes had been
made-the price had been cut from three
cents to one cent, while the familiar six
column makeup had been changed to
seven columns. The change created wide
comment throughout the city. The Her.
aid now remains as the only three-cent
morning paper in New York City. The
Evening Post Sells for three cents
When the Tribune was founded in 1841
the original price was one cent, which
was changed to three several years later,
standard that had been maintained until
the cut today. Whitelaw Reid owns the
controlling interest in the paper. Ogden
Mills, his father-in-law, is president of the
company.

WHY LEWES IS
TO CELEBRATE
Interesting History Of the
Landing Of Hudson And
deVrieS There

Many persons have inquired as 10 the
reason for the Hudson -DeVries celebration
10 he held at Lewes on September %,
when a monument will be unveiled TO the
memory of DeVries. the Dutch explorer
who founded colony at Lewes after
Hendrix Hudson had discovered the place.
Hudson came to this country on August
2S 1909. and landed at Lewes lie went
from there to New York, the present To-
cation Of New York city. His accounts Of
lower Delaware pleased the people in Hoi-
land very much, and deVries organized
his first colony in 1851. 1t was composed OF
about thirty-threc men. 1t landed at
Lewes and built the fort known as Fort
Ohlandt Lewes was then Swanendael IL
DeVries came with his first colony he
went back ia the early summer Of that
year and that Fall his colony was mas
sacred. A second expedition was sent
which called that place Hoorn XIII. but
the fort remained the same.
Skipping some history that is of interest,
but which does not bear directly on the
point one comes to the changes in the
land. First the Dutch held it. Next came
tho Swedes, who drove them out and took
H. The Dutch came back and reconqured
It. Then the English came and took IT,.
rhen the Dutch took it back again and
tho English came back once more and
took it. This left Delaware part OF what
became to the English, New York. III
June. 1862, it became the three lower
counties Of the Penn territory, and an
pther interesting fight took place. which
resulted I'M the matter being settled in the
English courts.
And here is where the crucial point

The test was between Lord Baltimore and
william Penn for possession and Lord
chancellor Hardwick, of Eng and. de-
eiaed against Baltimore. Had it not been
Tor his decision against Lord Baltimore,
Il is probable that the state would have
been three COUNTIES Of Maryland When the
final combination was made. But not so, II

Rust stains may be removed from

Flowers dipped in. or gently paint

Shaving magnesia is a good substi-
tute for talcum, as II is harmless and
does not adhere to the skin.
An excellent cement for mending

tions will be mirrored i'm the child.
Parents should make II "a duty to
study their children, who are by no
means all alike. The little slight that
one child may pass by without "a

pair. II is the oversensitive child
who is most hurt by neglect or rough
treatment. whose character is injured

siderate attitude, for this sensitive
plant is keenly alive and awake Ia

There can be no more accessible eX-
