GROUNDS BEAUTIFIED.
Lower Cedar Point Undergoing Ex
tensive improvements.

The old excursion grounds at lower
Cedar Point. now owned by Robert Grain
Of Baltimore, are being overhauled and
the buildings remodeled and repainted.
The roofs of the different buildings have
been painted a bright red, and they are
the most conspicuous objects along the
lower Potomac for many miles. Mr. Grain
has recently built a new warehouse and
cattle pen on his pier. has erected a
new bathhouse and fishing cottage for the
use Of himself and his family and friends,
and the old buildings have all been made
practically new and very attractive in
appearance.
For many years Cedar Point was one
of the most popular excursion resorts on
the lower Potomac. and was visited each
summer by thousands from this city. Its
popularity gradually declined. and for
ten years or longer its use as an eX-
cursion resort has been abandoned. Sew
eral years ago II was purchased by Mr..
Grain. who has built himself splendid
mansion on the property, and is con-
stantly improving 1t.
The wash of the river has for many
years been gradually eating away the
shores of the old excursion park, and Mr..
Grain is now planning to built a stone
seawall about the property to protect 1t.

COURT DRAWS DISTINCTION.
Hungry Man and Tramp Contraste'
When Case Is Heard.

A hungry man will only ask enough
food to satisfy his appetite, but a tramp
will surfeit himself and then fill his pock-
cts.
This is the fine distinction drawn by
Judge Kimbau between an ordinary hun
CRY man and a tramp.
Frank Hardy was arraigned in the Po-
lice Court on charge of vagrancy His
white-haired mother pleaded tearfully for
him. She had been called to Baltimore,
she said, and had left her boy in the
house alone There was nothing to eat
In the house and naturally he asked the
neighbors.
This was all right the judge said.
but the testimony shows that yo1lr boy
was not content to satisfy his appetite. but
had filled all his pockets with food. and
was still begging. This is clearly the
act of a tramp. The boy will have to
furnish two-hundred-doilar bond, or go
down for sixty days
