The lodging-house in which the woman
lived is kept by Mrs. George Holmquist,
who also runs the dance hall opposite. She
says the idea of the woman being thrown
out of the window is Improbable. She
says the woman has been roomiDg with her
only about five or six weeks, but she has
always acted as though she was "a little
off,"
Her husband" said Mrs. Holmqulst,
'came up here the other night-about a

That Now AdOrns Trinity
Episcopal Church.
A Baptism With Water Brought
From the River
Jordan.

''To the glory Of God, in loving memory
of Lizzie Cooley, who passed into para
disc February 16, 1862, aged 4 years and
months. OF such is the kingdom of
heaven"
The above is the inscription on the
handsome new memorial window that was
put up in Trinity Episcopal Church yes
terday morning. So quietly had all the
arrangements been made that many OF
the people most interested in the church
knew nothing about the intended gift.
About six months ago Montgomery God
lev. who has been parshioner of Trinity
since the early fifties. decided to enrich
the new church with window to the
memory of his little daughter, who had
been baptized and had had her burial
service read years ago in old Trinity.
The father decided that the window
should be baptlsmal one, and should be
placed where the rays of the afternoon
un could strike through 1t upon the font.
He accordingly ordered design for the
pointed window in the southeast transert,
and yesterday, the work being completed,
the old window was taken out and the
stained glass one put in its place.
The picture represents the baptism of
Jesus Christ by ST. John the Baptist. The
extreme foreground is represented by soma
rocks upon when the inquire OIL Jne Savior
kueels. st. John, In loose drapery of
camers hair, is represented in the act of
pouring on the bap,ismal water. Behind
the two figures is the river Jordan, upon
which water-lilies float, and in the extreme
background are mountains. The descend
ing dove is silhouetted against the pearl
gray of the sky.
The drawing and coloring are both
modern. not being made. as so many
stained glass windows are. in imitation of
the medieval attitudes and deep-to toned
tints that are seen in the Gothic cathe-
drals of the Old World. The window is
three feet by eight feet. 1t is a valuable
adjournment to Trinity Church. which has
been rather lacking in the ''dim, religious
light that stained glass gives TO a church.
After the morning service Tomorrow
Rev. George Edward Walk will baptize
two children at the font by the new win
dow, using water brought from the River
Jordan Mrs. Robert Fl. Chandler. the
mother of one of the infants, is great
traveller, and during a recent trip to the
Holy Land she secured a large bottle
of water from the historic river, with the
intention of having it used for the next
baptism that should occur in the family.

She is employed in dancehall on Grant

Shortly before Z o'clock last night she
was taken to the Receiving Hos pital in an
unconscious condition. She was found
lying on the ground on Stockton place,
and her window above was open. 1t was
supposed that she had fallen out of the
window, which is about thirty feet from
the ground.
There were two deep cuts on her fore
head and two scalp wounds. One of her
wrists was sprained, and there were
bruises all over her body. 1t was a
miracle that she was not killed outright.
