He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Webb and the fatal nccidentoccurred at the I'rfirn of flip tninr1mv nnnt A A j Muck's residence north of the woolen mills. The little boy was on u plank nt the time. The water had risen considerably and a large number of carp were among the high grabs'. The boy had a pole in his hand and was striking at the fish. The lad's uncle, Henry Wilson of Syracuse street, was near at hand and nl- 'so the boy's older brother. Ralph. the water toward tho plank. Ralph got in beyond his depth but persisted in trying to get to Where they had last seen Lcs tcr, and it was with the utmost difficulty that his uncle could get Ralph, who was unable to swim, to shore. Tho bodv of Lester was found a littlu later and although persistent efforts ll 4.. 4. were made to resuscitate him, it was without avail. It is pre sumcd that Lester had reached out too far in striking at a carp. lost his balance and fell into the water which was about six feet deep. It. was a very distressing accident.

JERSEY ST Will Continue Free Paper Last October tho publisher of the Review decided that for n period of six months tho paper would be placed in the various homos of St. Johns free of charge. Tho main object was to make every homo familiar with the homo paper, in expectation that people fretting used to hav ing tho paper regularly would .probably want to have it contin ued. Tho p an was carried out. 1 1 : 11... e:..i mui. ui'uiiuiiiiK wiiu 1 iiu mac issue in October last the paper has been delivered free to the homes in St. Johns. When tho six months period had expired. upon tho expressed dosiro of some of the leading advertisers. it was decided to continue the plan for three months longer, which was done, and with last weeks issue the Review has been delivered free in St. Johns for nine months. In that time tho cost of news print has advanced about half a dozen tunes: ink, distribution, etc., has also made a marked advance in price. On distribution wc have three men who aro licensed distributors employed and it takes practically all dav Saturday to make the distribution complete. Adver tisers have found tho free paper to be such a splendid advertis ing medium that they aro loath to have us return to a subscrip tion basis, which of course would mean a smaller circulation. Hut the increased cost of publishing and distribution is a problem to bo fully considered. However wo have decided to continue tho free paper for an indefinite time, but advertising rates will be in creased to somo extent. Tho coat for those advertising reg ularly, however, will not be in creased at this time, but all ad vertising for a period of less than G months will be increased. The paper will bo placed in each homo 113 heretofore, but all per sons will be given an opportunity to subscribe, with the guuranteu that if tho free paper is discon tinued at any time, for tho re maining portion of the year the paper will bo delivered by Uncle Sam's carriers.

PENINSULA SECURITY CO. 108 South Jersey St. on a subscription basis in St. Johns the subscription price will be $1.50 per year. Those who care to subscribe mny do so. It is an entirely voluntary matter. Tho paper will be delivered at the home just the same. In caH of those who bv reason of diving on the outskirts of St. j Johns fail to be reached by the carriers sometimes and desire to have tho same delivered through the mails, may be accommodated by paying one year in advance. Uncle Sam does not deliver free papers. .Reviews sent out of! the St. Johns district will be charged for nt the rate of $1.50 per year. How long tho free paper will continue will depend upon tho ndvertisers. When advertising falls below a certain amount, reversion to the aub Bcription basis will follow as a matter of course. Another feature in connection id that wc would like every home to feel a personal interest in tho paper to such extent that they would contribute news items of which they mny have knowledge. in fact wo would like to have the community at large edit the paper in a way by supplying the news, in tins way surely me Review would be to all intents and purposes strictly a home newspaper. You funiiali the news and wo will return it to you in printed form.
