LITTLE cHrRcH ARot.XD THE CORNER.
The proposition or Theodore Moss. the manager
OF Walacks Theatre for a memorial window 10
the Rev Dr. George II. IIoughton. appears 10 meet
with the ready and enthusiastic approval OF actors
and theatrical people generally. DR.. Houghton al
though he seldom never went 10 the theatre was
always the friend OF the actors from the time Of
the celebrated incident that gave its popular title
TO mis- church. No other clergyman who ever
lived perhaps. performed many marriage and
funeral services for actors az Or. Houghton. and
he oficiateG at the funeral OF many OF the finest
actors that America ever saw. His name is held
In reverence by actors everywhere. The proposal
made by Mr. Moss IL thai a large window be
placed in the Church OF the Transtg uration. and
that all over the country be invited 10 con
tribute 10 the fund for the purpose. There be
no doubt that the invitation will meet with ready
response and that the actors Will erect memorial
worthy OF the respect and generation with which

Colonel Aaron A. De Graw. OF Jamaica. ono Of the
largest taxpayers in Queens County has directed
his attorney. Francis III. Van Vechien. to prepare
papers in a suit against the Queens County Board

issued In the county during the last year Since
January many roads in different towns have been
taken into the county system. and nearly 100000
Of bonds have been used for road improvements
Colonel De Graw is OF the opinion that the Super
visors have no authority take every crossrosd
into the county system and macadamize IT AT the
expense OF the county. and this Is one OF the
grounds for the suit. He snys that only the prin-
Cinsl roads those which lead from one town 10
another should be included In the county sys-
