ason of Phil Armour, of Chicago.
On December l, the day Of the
big foot ball game, young Whit.
aker drove up to the Hotel Savoy
in q cab, registered as Fred Mar
shall, and was given an expensive
room. He paid in advance for two
days, and spent lots Of money in
the cafe. Then he took a run up
to Holyoke, his home, and while
there wrote a letter to himself ad-
dressed to the Savoy, inclosing a
500 check. On the way back to
New York, he stopped off at
New Haven long enough to mail
a letter addressed "Geo. Armour,
Park Avenue Hotel" When he
appeared at the Savoy again he
opened his letter at the desk and
let the check flutter out. The let
ter purported to be from his pa.
rents, and asked him to come home
and see them as soon as his studies
would admit. A clerk named
Clancy cashed the check for Whit
aker. A few days later it was re-
turned from the bank marked "no
good" Meanwhile Whitaker had
secured five rooms at the Park
Avenue hotel under the name of
George Armour. He gave it out
that Phil. Armour, the millionaire
Chicago packer, was his father.

check, but they refused to break
the rules and cash it and Whitaker
finally left the house in disgust,
His valise and an unpaid board bill
of $24.50 remained behind. He
hailed a cab recently and was
driven to the Plaza bank, where he
offered a draft for 1921. The bank
did not want it on any terms and

parently unruffled and was driven
to the Barclay ferry. He bought a
ticket to Chicago but left the train
just as it started from Jersey City
and came back to Broadway again,
He registered at the Gilsey house
as A. A. Savina, but so far as is
known did not get rid Of any
checks there.

WHITsUNTIDE.-Last Sunday was Whitsun-
day or Pentecost, the fiftieth day after Easter
and one of the principal feasts Of the Chris
tain church. 1t has been observed from the
earliest days of Christianity and the name
Whitsunday is supposed to have originated
from the white robes worn by candidates for
baptism. On this day the church celebrates
the descent of the Holy Ghost on the apostles
after the ascension of our Lord, when 'clo-
ven tongues like as of fire. sat upon each of
them and they began to speak the inspired
word.
In the feudal days of England, Whitsun-
tide was regarded as a special season of
chivalrous adventure, archery, especially
being practiced. 1t is still popular festive
period in that country. In our country the
season is observed in the Protestant Episcopal
and Roman Catholic churches, but the secu-
lar observances seem to have been relocated
in the Southern and border States at least, to
the colored population, who claim Whit Mon
day as their especial holiday.
The day was celebrated in Bel Air by pro-
cession, headed by brass band, marching
from Ames' Chapel to Mr.. John S. Dallam's
grove, on the Hickory road, where the day
was spent in pic mic fashion, with speeches
and merry-m aking.
