WHAT SITE OF DOVER COST

Dover, Del, which one thinks of as
belonging to that sisterhOod of inter
estipg little Colonial capitals of which
williamsburg and Annapolis are ell
ders, has celebrated the two hun
dredth anniversary Of its founding.
The three neighbor Colonial capi-
tails have no little historic resem-

youngest Of them, 1t has It's full share
Of historic interest and romantic tra-
dition. political and social. That great
man, William Penn, whs had the wis
dom to abolish the tariff duties that
he found hampering the trade of the
great river leading up to his noble
proprietary province, having induced
james, duke Of York, to let him add
to Pennsylvania the "three lower
countries on Delaware" lost little
time in making provision for the
founding of Dover as the county seat
of "St. Jones County" now Kent
county, for he issued warrant for
the survey Of the town site In 1853,
and eleven years later, according to
one authority. says Il. n. Nnllnndig.

after living several weeks, is preserved
in an undertaking establishment Mt

There is no record of the parentage
Of the infant, and in brief its history
Is that 1t was found dead 20 years a:.O,
and that the body was turned over TO
the late Thomas Minshull, then an I'M
dertaker and deputy coroner. AS the
body was never claimed, he decided to
use It for experimental purposes In
embalming, and prepared Il special mix
ture of embnlming fluid, portion OF
which he injected into the little body.
The result proved successful, and in
a short time there were evidences of
mummification, and after being an OBJ
ject Of curiosity and "ten days won.
der" the mummy, christened "1Zzle,"
was taken to an unused room In the
building and tucked away on the top
shelf Of q closet.
During all these years the infant
body has lain there undlstArbed. eX-

called at the establishment and re-
quested permission to see it. The
