The Improves Order of Red Men,
explained Mr.. Stanhope, was organ
lzed at Baltimore, Md, in 1884, and
known as local lodge No. I, taking for
its motto. Freedom, Friendship and
Charity. Freedom, in honor of that
race fast fading away, and to whom
the forest, the plains, the hills and the
valleys were as free as the air is to
the eagle; friendship, to commemorate
the answering loyalty with which an
Indian maintained a noble and unset
fish affection for him to whom his faith
was pHghted; charity, the browning
virtue Of human life. Under those
ennobling influences mankind is lifted
higher and nearer toward the great
spirit
other tribes were soon instituted,
and as time passed the order grew
into public notice and favor until to-
day the council fires are burning not
only in every state and territory of
the Union, but it has followed the
glorious emblem of liberty into Pana-
ma, Alaska, Porto Rico. Hawaii and
all Of the other possessions of the
United States, and there is not a
member but who would work for its
defense, The emblems of the order
are drawn from nature alone. The
American Indian, the prototype of the
order, who was driven farther and
farther toward the setting sun, away
from the hunting grounds of their
fathers and graves of their loved ones.
whose lands were devastated and wig
vans destroyed, is acknowledged ny
historians to be the noblest type of
man ever found in his natural state.
They looked up through nature and
there beheId natures God. They ad-
mired the lightning, for they though
it was the great spirit striking the
flame to light the council fires. They
loved the thunder, for they thought II
was the voice of the great spirit
speaking to His children; and all their
customs and ceremonies were taught
By nature, and all their lessons were
drawn from natures school. The In
proved Order of Red Men is proud to
the memory Of this noble
race, and as time passes and their
history exists only in tradition. our or

Will Give Baltimore Another Trunk
Line.

&
The definite announcement that the
Western Maryland railroad is to be
extended westward, eventually reach
ing both Pittsburg and Wheeling, will
be received with genuine satisfaction
in shipping and financial circles in
Baltimore. We always believed that
sooner or later the Western Maryland
would branch out as a trunk line and
as such become one of the most use
full instruments in promoting the ma
terial growth of Baltimore.
t. Millions of dollars we're expended
by the Gould interests, which took
over the road, in building modern ter
minals here, improving roadbeds, etc.;
but the panic two years ago put stop
to these betterments and blasted the
hopes temporarily of a larger system.
John D. Rockefeller and his close as
sociates, however, superseded the
Goulds as the controlling factors in
the situation, and, according to infor-
nation from authentic sources, they
will carry out the original plans OF
building the new trunk-line system ex-
tending from Baltimore to. Pittsburg,
and later constructing line to Wheel
ing, where connection will be made
with the Wheeling and Lake Erie, thus
giving the larger road two lines into
Pittsburg.
Those now in control of the Western
Maryland are not hampered for funds,
and it is announced that the money
with which to build and equip a branch
line from Cumberland, Nd, to New
Haven, Pa.-which will furnish the
connecting link to Pittsburg-is al
ready provided for and work of con-
struction will shortly begin. The car
rying out of the plans will mean much
for Baltimore and this entire section,
and it is to be hoped that no time will
be lost in completing tnem.-Baltimore
