H. L. Lewis at Rest.

After many months of sickness and suffer-
ing Hiram l.. Lewis, one of the oldest and
most respected citizens of Owosso passed
quietly away to his long rest on Saturday
noon last. This announcement at any time
for several years past would not have
caused surprise. For years past Mr.. Lewis
had not enjoyed good health, one hard sick
ness seemed to follow another with but
short periods between. Notwithstanding
his s1fferings were severe and his strength
wasted, he would 20 about his business
with determination to overcome his attic
ton by turning every thought from himself
to his business cares. This he did success
fully for years, thus undoubtedly prolong-
ing his life by sheer will power. This force
enabled Mr.. Lewis to always be cheerful
and to be comfort to those about him.
Most of his sickness was the result of lung
troubles; the immediate cause of his death
was heart trouble.
Mr.. Lewis was born in Malone, N. Y,
April 18th, 1888 and came with his parents
to Owosso in 1855 and has resided here
continually since. He was married in 1859
and commenced housekeeping in the resi-
dence which the family still occupy. To
Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis nine children were
born. seven of whom, Mrs. +. w. Smith,
Mrs. w. i. Kreher, Mrs. Elmer Cheney,
Miss Mamie and Fred, Lewis, of this city,
Walter I'll. Lewis, of Saginaw, and Mrs.
Chas. Howe, of Linden, together with Mrs.
Lewis survive him. OF Mr.. Lewis own
family, his sister, Mrs. Waldron, Of New
York, and Horace Lewis, of Manitoba, are
still living. At the age of fifteen years Mr..
Lewis Joined the Congregational church,
afterward becoming a member of the Owos-
so church, and all through life took an
active part in the Masters work, being one
of the deacons of the church here for six
years past. In the every day affairs of life
MIR. Lewis was ever to be found on the right
side doing all he could to promote the well
fare OF the community. He had served in
a number of official positions, representing
the first ward for six years in the council,
making record which was greatly to his
credit. In fraternal affairs he was active;
for years he had been one of the leading
members of Owosso Lodge, No. SO, l. o.
0. F., filling all the chairs, also in the en-
campment. He was charter member of
the A. o. U. w., d. of H. and X. of H.
No brother ever appealed to him in vain for
aid, indeed his generosity came to be almost
a failing.
The funeral services were held at the
family residence Tuesday afternoon, at
tended by large number of people, includ-
ing the members of both lodges Of Odd
Fellows, the Daughters of Rebekah and
the United Workmen. The services were
conducted by Rev. w. B. Matteson and at
the grave by the Odd Fellows. Many beau
tiful floral pieces testified to the esteem in
which the deceased was held.

THE NEW corr COURSE.

The Royal and Ancient Scotch Game Taking
Hold in This City-The Course Nearly
Completed-First Game to be Played This
Afternoon.
Some time ago a number of our pub
lic-spirited citizens, who have the prog
ress of our city at heart, took steps to
add one more to the many outdoor at
fractions to the City Of Elms, namely,
that of the royal and ancient game of
golf The game is purely "a Scottish one
and has BEEN played in the land of heath
and heather from almost time immem-
orial. Within recent years the game
has become quite popular in this coun-
try and clubs are springing up with
mushroom rapidity in every state of the
Union. The promoters of the game in
this city, j. s. Hotchkiss, w. Beebe, +.
w. Bristol, T. S. Woolsey and J. T..
Whittlesey, entered into contract with
Messrs. r. D. Pryde and William Pat
terson, two of our young Scotchmen,
and prominent exponents of the game,
to look after the laying out of the links.
This work has so far been successful,
promise of being one of the best inland
courses in the country. 1t is composed
Of nine holes and is located between
Prospect street and Winchester avenue,
Division and Goodrich streets. Although
the formal opening will not take place
until early in the fall, at which time
it is expected that the putting, greens,
pavilion and other parts will be COM
pleted, yet an informal opening will
take place this evening at $50 o'clock,
when match will take place between
James Brown and William Patterson
on one side, who will have as their op-
ponents R. D. Pryde and J. w. Graham.
The directors invite all those who have
been or are golfers to visit the grounds
and take part in the game, their desire
being to get as many gentlemen as pos
sible interested in the project.
One of the features will also be a la
dies club, which will be officered by
some of our prominent society young
ladies'
The officers of the new club are as fol-
lows: ]. T. Whittlesey, president; ]. w.
Bristol, treasurer, with Messrs. J. S.
Hotchkiss, w. Beebe and T. S. Woolsey
as a committee of management. In or
der to make the club as popular as pos
sible the membership fee has been fixed
at the nominal sum Of ten dollars. The
Scottish Golf Club Manufacturing COM
pany of Edinburgh, Scotland, of which
r. D. Pryde is the local agent, has a
display of the various clubs used in
playing the game in Messrs. Longley
& Co.'S window on Church street, and
the display will doubtless be viewed by
many who are interested in the game.

sARATOGA SPRINGS.

The season at this famous resort has
opened with an unusually large influx
of guests from all parts of the country.
Accommodations at the most desirable
hotels are fast being secured, and the
patronage promises to be much larger
than in any previous summer. The en-
forcement of the laws relative to the
suppression of gambling in the various
club houses and pool selling at the races
has already the very noticeable effect
of securing better class Of visitors
Healthful recreation and popular
amusements are being provided in great
abundance. Saratoga stands pre-emi-
nent among the various summer resorts
in this or any other country, for its
pure invigorating, atmosphere, it's
health-giving waters which flow so con-
spicuously from it's numerous springs,
its many miles Of well kept roads and
parks and pleasant drives and the great
variety of sights and scenes. Especial
ly interesting is the study of human
nature as it is seen in the peculiarities
Of the various people here congregated
from most all points of the globe.
Music has also it's charms and can
be enjoyed daily on the hotel piazzas
and at Congress park, rendered by the
best orchestras to be obtained. In fact
there is something for everybody to en-
joy who goes to Saratoga. Several of
the leading families of New Haven have
selected their rooms at the Clarendon
hotel and will soon go there. The ele-
waited position of this hotel, its pleasant
surroundings, its large and airy rooms,
its well supplied tables, polite attend
ants and popular proprietors, Messrs
Harris Brothers, make this one of the
most desirable hotels in Saratoga The
famous Washington spring is located
in the hotel park, and is free to its
guests. The medicinal properties of the
spring are said to be second to none
in Saratoga.
Diagrams of the various rooms. sew
eral hundred in number, can be seen
and descriptive booklets obtained at
their agency for this city at Beers
Photo parIors, 760 Chapel street, where
rooms can also be secured in advance
by the week or season at reasonable
prices.

Protect fhe Eins.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER
| have been for some time waiting
for an alarm to be sounded and atten-
ton called to the terrible state of our
beautiful elms. Can anyone who is not
blind be oblivious to the fact that the
terrible beetle has arrived and is get
ting in his deadly work upon our noble
elm trees. / called the attention of
Mayor Hendrick to the fact two weeks
ago and asked that something might
be done to save our noble elr1s, but no
attention was paid to my letter. To-day
I saw colonies Of the worm on many of
the trees and was convinced that 1t was
the same enemy which has done so
much damage In Mamaroneck and Rye,
N. Y, and in Stamford, Norwalk and
other places in Connecticut The time
for action is now when the gray worm
is crawling down the trunk and
hiding in the crevices of the bark. The
trees should be scraped and the worms
destroyed, or we shall not have tree
left, and what would New Haven be
without her elms- The chamber of
commerce, it has been suggested, should
meet and send an invitation to Cam
bridge to meet Yale in trial of athletics.
| suggest that it would be better bust
ness were 1t to meet Immediately and
devise some method by which our city
would be spared the loss of its greatest
ornament. We should have forester,
and every tree should be cared for
When they are dead it will be too late
1t took them over hundred years to
grow. Shall we let this vile beetle de-
stroy them? One beautiful avenue of
elms in another city was saved by plac-
ing bands of cotton batting around
each tree about four feet above the
ground and then each morning the
worms tangled in the cotton were
brushed into pans and burned. This
was kept UP as long as the beetle re-
manned in the vicinity, every summer,
for years, and was successful. Not a
tree was lost. Do Mr.. Editor call at
tention to the subject and oblige
I. T. K.
The beetle lays its eggs on the leaf
The worm is Matched, eats the leaf
and then crawls down the trunk to hide
in the earth or crevices of the trunk
to become a cocoon, from which the
beetle is evolved.

sidered asst Evening.
An important meeting Of the park
commissioners was held last evening
at which nearly all of the members
were present. In the absence of Mayor
Hendrick Judge Simeon E. Baldwin
presided. Considerable business of
more than usual Importance was dis
cussed, and the session was in conse-
quence decidedly protracted.
A delegation of manufacturers inter-
ested in the Manufacturers Street Rail-
way company were present and request
ed that the park commission grant the
company permission to operate it's cars
along the harbor side of Quinnipiac
park and close to the waters edge.
Some opposition developed to the pro-
posed plan, and after considerable dis
cussion the members voted to take
no action on the matter at present,
and it was laid on the table for a
month.
Harbor Commissioners F. 6. Bushnell
and George B. Martin, who were recent
ly appointed a committee of the board
of harbor commissioners to devise
some means whereby a public wharf
could be established in this city, were
present at the meeting and asked the
park commissioners to cooperate with
the harbor commission in an effort to
locate a public dock at the foot of
Water street. The park commissioners
also decided to lay this matter on the
table until the next meeting, and after
transacting some minor routine busi-
ness adjourned.
