Mr.. and Mrs. Woodward kept such
exact accounts that they knew where
every single penny went and when
they found that they were growing
extravagant, they curtailed expenses
and cut down every possible item.
The San Francisco FIRE which de-
stroyed the store where Mr.. Wood
ward was employed put them back
some months, but by March, 1908,
they had saved about 5000 and they
bought a lot and built a house by

Woodward had many Of the vicissi-
sudes, including illness, that the or

fourteen years of married life they

AS this Delaware regiment had been
very likely drilled in the same man
ner as the Continental British army,
their military formation was no doubt
identical. In fact, Colonel Haslet, if
the writer does not err, himself had
seen service in the British army be-
fore the outbreak Of the Revolution
airy War.
Among other rare facts discovered
by Mr. Arthurs in his Washington
hunt, was a letter written by DR.. Til
bon, Delaware's celebrated surgeon,
indeed the foremost surgeon in the
Revolution, to Hezekiah Niles, Of Bal
timore. the publisher of the Niles
Register, wherein as a news item Dr.
Tilbon referred to the costumes and

being drilled on Dover Green. there

II should be stated that at that time
each regiment had its own individual

painting by Stanley NJ. Arthurs, now
on exhibition in the lobby Of the
dupont Hotel, where It will remain
for a week or two.
The work is historical in character,
and represents the departure from
Dover Green early In July, 1776, Of
the First Delaware Revolutionary
Regiment, some 500 strong, under the
command Of Colonel John Haslet. who
was unfortunately killed in six
months thereafter at the battle OF
Trenton
The painting is nineteen by seven
feet in size and was ordered by the
Art Commission TO be placed in the
Capitol at Dover.
In this charming piece OF mural
work Mr. Arthurs has not only signal
