 Editor News:
 There are still several rem nants of real Indians in and about these regions. 1 have divided this place into sy'lables so that those not very familiar with In. dian nomenclature will be able to pronounce it.
 This place is not far from sev- eral of the resorts and is visited daily on account of it's being made up entirely of Indians with their tents, canoes, ponies and it is also more noted because of a per formance that is given dailyl The foundation for the play Is taken from actual Indian history and is called "Hiawatha. It is a most charming presentation of Longfellov's famous poem by that name and the Indians in portraying the historic characters are seen at their best. The drama is exceptionally well put on, beautifully costumed, admirably staged and IS a truthful repre- sentation of the Indian and his rowing and romantic life. It is played on the lake front and both the lake and the land is used by the actors. The seats for the audience are arrangedlike a base ball park and all is in the open air. About 30 Indians take part in the performance during which is shown the gathering of the clans, first appearance of Hia watha as baby pipe dance, snake dance, war dance, Indian songs. etc. Hiawatha is shown at diff ferent stages of life until he leaves his tribe to seek a wife. He finds the tribe of which Mine haha is a maiden. He woos and wins her by his various Indian ways of courting and brings her back to his tribe as his wife where and when many days are given over to the wedding festivities.
 It was on this exact spot where the play is presented that the Ojibway tribe of years gone by, sought shelter when it blew hard on the great lake. Here he found his game and fish, here was suit able soil for his corn, beans and potatoes, here grew the bark for the canoe and here he lived and loved, and finally became allied with the Ottawas and fought with them theWarrlOrS of the IrOQuOiS.
 Opportunity is here given the romantically inclined to indulge in canoe trips along the route followed by Father Marquette and the early voyagers when the first white man broke through the dense forest and disturbed the still waters of the lakes and which has resulted in almost plotting from the face of the earth the Indian tribes.
 The grave of Marquette is marked by marble shaft at St. lanace, few miles from this In dian village.

She ordered two dozen eggs, a Ia catalogue,
and asked her milkman to bring her good
hen that was ready to set.

To Put Them on Their Honor Now.-On
Tuesday the County Commissioners took up
the automobile question and decided to divide
Park Heights avenue into sections and to have
each section parolled by a policeman. The
plan will do away with the watch boxes, field
glasses and other equipment used by the police
to entrap automobiles exceeding the speed
limit.
By the decision of the Board the automo-
bilist is put on his honor. The ruling is to be
tried and if it works satisfactorily will be con.
tinued. Marshal STREET. has instructed the
patrolmen to proceed at once under the new
ruling
Mr.. Osborne l. Yellott, president of the Au-
tomobile Club of Maryland, said 1.-THE de-
csion of the Commissioners puts it up to the
Automobiles and they should show their ap-
probation of the Commissioners meeting their
views by keeping down to reasonable rate OF
speed on Park Heights avenue, as well as other
places.
II travel the roads great deal in my auto
mobile and find as a rule that nearly all auto
mobiists travel at reasonable rate of speed,
but there are few who show disregard for
the safety of the public. There have been q
number of instances on Charles street extended
when automobiles have driven their cars at
40 and 60 miles an hour and sweeping around
and between vehicles.
"While that may seem to the automobiles
as perfectly safe, it is against the letter of the
law, which requires Automobiles to slow
down to six miles an hour in passing vehicles
and make no allowance for accidents due to a
bursting tire, trouble with the steam apparatus
or other mishaps. So long as the few automo-
biists continue to violate the law we cannot
expect better treatment at the hands of the pc.
lice authorities, County Commissioners or th G
Legislature"

Beautiful Memorial window in Trinity

Beautiful Memorial Window in Trinity
Church.-An impressive portion of the morn
ing service on Sunday, May 18th, in Trinity
Church, Towson, will be the dedication of q
beautiful memorial window presented to the
church by Mrs. Joseph Reid Anderson, OF
Richmond, Va.
The memorial was executed in favrile glass
by the Tiffany Studios, of New York, and has
for its subject the passage in the 9th chapter OF
the Gospel of st. Matthew, describing the mir.
acle of the raising of Jairus' daughter, and
represents in the design the words: HE took
her by the hand and the maid arose." The
main portion of the design shows the Saviour
in the act of raising the maid from the couch,
while above, in the canopy OF the window, are
angels on either side and in glow of light,
dove representing the descent of the Holy
Spirit, and among the accessories of the scene.
a growth of lilies, emblematic OF purity and
innocence. In these elements of the compost.
ton, as well as in the coloring of the robes OF
the figures, the artist, Mr. Frederick wilson,
has shown q deep and reverent feeling for the
value of symbolic teachings and has in his ex-
preston of the theme evidenced depth of
spiritual thought in his conception. The
white garments ofthe maid and the majestic
red of the robes of the Saviour present strong
contrasting effect, but the other color elements
have been so conserved that the picture, as
whole is softly harmonious in its effect. The
glass which has been used is of unusual depth
and degration of tone and has been so selected
as to fully express the full intent and spirit OF
the design. In the panel at the base OF the
window is thededicatory inscription Tot the
Glory of God and loving memory OF Virginia
