plans for its creation was made,
Penn saw that his city would fall
within the land belonging to Lord
Baltimore. Something had to be
done about this amazing situation.
Being a man of keenness and fore
sight, William Penn and his father
influenced the king to change the
wording Of Lord Baltimore's chart

10th parallel, thus putting Phila-
delphia within Pennsylvania. Del

Baltimore as being a part Of his
original charter a technical flaw

unearthed by lawyers Of Penn and
the dispute over Delaware was on.
The Latin phrase in Baltimore's
charter "hactenus inculta" (hither-

to the territory over here which
Baltimore might properly claim.

BARN AND GARAGE USED BY

Memorial Recognized as
Enduring Work of Art

To a member of the wonderful
family of Adams it fell to leave the
world one of the most beautiful
memorials to a woman in existence
anywhere, the masterpiece of Saint
Gaudens in Rock Creek cemetery
in Washington. 1t was in 1872 that
Henry Adams married Marian
Hooper of Boston. For years they
lived in Washington. John Hay
has left the opinion that there
never had been such a salon there
as that over which she presided.
Those were the years of the close
intimacy of Adams, Hay and Clar-
ence King. Henry Adams and his
wife used TO read together and ride
together and that alienation con-
stituted large part of their lives.
1t was in 1885. when Richardson
was building the well-known ada
cent houses of Hay and Adams,
that Mrs. Adams, who had been in
ill health, died suddenly under
PSNeAAAA IAoSiS III NhNuihSldhNSss as
the sevent is described by Allen
johnson, the historian.
Adams, heavily stricken, went off
to Japan with John LaFarge and in
the East came into contact with
the oriental habit of contemplation
of the enigma of life and death.
That idea Saint -Gaudens repre-
sented in bronze, and mankind is
indebted to him and to Adams for
an enduring masterpiece. Soames
Forsyte said only what all must
say, that it "is great art."-Ex-
change.
