made now in Govans. And who would be
out of style? Not Govans, at any rate so here
is new job for the local Improvement associa
tion.

Burglar Story No Good.-Under the broad,
white glare of porch electric light, which
shot its bright rays far out over the street, and
in full view of the passengers of the Towson-
Catonsville cars in front of the gate leading to
the Court House, Towson, last Saturday night
at 8 o'clock three men were seen fumbliDg
with big bunch of keys in an attempt to
open the doors leading to the Second National
Bank. They glanced about, but did not seem
to be apprehensive of detectives. First one of
the men and then the others tried the lock, but
it defeated their every effort. They were
finally joined by fourth man, who fruitlessly
tried his hand. The situation grew serious,
and passerby was about TO phone for Presi-
dent L. W. Offntt and notify him of an attempt
being made upon the wealth which lay con-
cealed behind the big iron doors within the
vault. 1t was afterward learned that "Uncle"
John Burton, the watchman, who was on duty
temporarily, had gone out to get drink of
water and closed the door with a bang, and
when he attempted to open the door something
had gone wrong with the mechanism of the
lock. Hence, a big burglary story was nipped
in the making.

New Play at Academy.-In his latest
drama. "Israel,' Henry Bernstein, author of
THE Thief and Samson" has added new
laurels to the reputation be already held.
Israel will be presented at the Academy of
Music Baltimore, next week. Dealing with
question that is as old as the world itself, the
problem of religious and racial differences, the
drama presents a lesson skillfully disguised
in intensely interesting situations and thrilling
action. 1t is asserted that no man can witness
d performance of "Israel' and not 60 away
with enlarged ideas and better understanding
of the fact that we are all brothers, despite re-
ligious dogmas or racial differences. The
company Mr.. Frohman has gathered together
