Davenport and Eaton.

Theophilus Eaton and John Daven- port had been schoolmates in England. Davenport became an able minister. and Eaton a successful merchant and one of Davenports church members At the time of religious troubles in England when the Purtans were pun ished on account of the stand which they took, Davenport was obliged to flee in disguise, because certain charges had been made against him He had been reported to tho king, as being q Puritan. by a servant whom he had reproved for swearing IT Davenport had not escaped when thc report was made, he probably would have been imprisoned and would also have lost his living or been heavily fined
 Eaton was also a Puritan in his views and both he and Davenport had been interested in the Massachusetts Bay company having given money towards it's expenses, and 1t is not surprising chat at this time of trouble they should have thought of settling in a new home
 When Davenport fed he went to Hol- land. but afterward returned to Eng land still in disguise Some of his church people and their families Eaton's relatives and theirs were join cd by some from other counties anf these made up the body of the frs settlers Of New Haven,

ABOUT QUINNIPIACS The Indians Who Were Here Before the Settlers of
 1888.
VERY EARLY NEW HAVEN
The Beginnings of the Colony Here Interestingly Told in the Teach
 ers' Journal.

Before the settlement in 1888, there was in the region which we now call New Haven, tribe of Indians called tho Quinnipiacs, and near neighbors ot the Pequots and Mohegans,
 Quinnipac was the land at the head of the New Haven harbor, about the mouths of the Quinnipiao and Mill rivers and John Davenport in describ- ing the place said that the sight of tho place so pleased the captain of the ship that he called 1t Fair Haven"
 The tribe found here had heen re- duced in number so that at this time they numbered about forty-six fighting men, and, including squaws and opposes, about 150 persons, The Peo quots and Mohawks greatly distressed them at times by sending out small bands to attack them, Thus reduced in number and suffering from these att tacks, they were willing to place them selves under the protection of tho English settlers
 They had several camps on each side of the harbor and located on high ground above the meadows, Shell heaps, stone weapons of war and kitchen utensils have been found as evidence One of their camps, on the western part of the harbor, was just east of Savin Rock and others were at oyster point and Hamilton park On the east side their camps must have been from QuInniplac bridge along Ferry street and east of Tomlinson bridge on Raynham near the electric railroad station.
 These camps were all on sunny hill side clearings surrounded by a thickly wooded country. They were near springs of fresh water and had corn and bean plantations, the cultivation of which was done by the squaws They bordered the harbor and rivers which gave an abundant supply oi shell and scale fish The former they took from the sand banks and flats al low tide. the latter by means of brusf wires or traps, the use of which the Indians taught the English. They were also taught by the Rcd Men the art of spearing cells through the ice; and also how to catch clans with thc feet by the treading process.
 The most important occupation of the Indians in time of peace was hunting for animals, which was done by means of bows and arrows, spears. clubs stones and spring poles with traps snares and pits for fur animals.

Tt Is report ed that Eaton's house had nineteen tlreplaces, and Dayenporfs on the oppo- site side of the street had thirteen, As has been stated, none were completed the first year.

the picture exactly as the eye sees 1t.
Having made a camera that revolved
at the desired speed, he took the pic

when they were thrown on @ screen
at the same speed, they reproduced all
the motions of life.
But the moving picture art is not

An Old Story.

MaQdm Ailas
I am, troubled with a disnguring
growth of hair under my chin. which
I uppos I have made much worse by
pulling hairs out and cutting them. I
have been using peroxide of hydrogen
and ammonia the past three weeks, and
as yet there is no sign of the hair bulk
being killed. l am quite satisfied to
give the remedy a three months trial,
If there Is any possibility Of its being
e%f1cacious at the end of hat time. I
use 1t twice daily. Will you kindly
state in your valuable column Of THE
EVENING STAR how long I should
use this mixture and If there would be
any harmful effects on the sldn-the
skin smarts quite some when I apply
the liquid. I shall be extremely obliged
IL you will answer In tomorrow's STAR.
I have no doubt whatever that the In
formation will be of very general in
terest to your feminine readers. Thank
Ing you, I am sincerely, MRS. T.
1 know Of no other treatment for
superfiuous hair except the electric
needle, and that is both very painful
and very expensive, though 1t is claimed
to be a sure cure. 1t will take at least
three months before you will have re-
suits from the use Of h peroxide and
ammonia, and 1t may take longer, ac-
cording to the strength of the growth.
Use 1T only once a day, as the am
monia might injure the skin II used
oftener.
