Mrs. Lydia Lincoln Soule of New Haven,

Europe and journeyed extensively abroad

was for many years largely interested in
shipping. The deceased lady built num-
Der of years ago very handsome cottage
on Littlejohn's island in Casco bay, Maine,
where she spent her summers. Her win
ters were usually spent in Washington, D.
c., or in travelling. Captain and Mrs. Soule
came to this city from Freeport, Me-, and
are well and most favorably remembered by
many of our older residents. Deceased was
lady of large heart, generous to a fault,
refined and cultivated lady, hight minded
by nature and most genial entertainer
and friend. Her memory is dear to many
and will long be warmly cherished. Two
sons and two daughters survive her.

The New York Tribune says: ''Boston

some of its newspapers were hailing year

cars cannot be run with safety at higher
