The City of Elizabeth Startled by
the Innovation.

ELIZABETH, N. J., May 29.-An
innovation in funeral corteges has
startled people Of this place-A bicycle
funeral procession. The, hearse was
followed by the mourners, men and
women, on wheels. The funeral was
that of Mrs. Jane Rhea. There were
two carriages and fifteen bicycles.
There were not quite as many women
as men on the bicycles They rode
slowly and silently. AT the church,
the bicycles were left in the yard while
the riders listened to the service. Then
began the ride to Evergreen cemetery,
and hundreds of persons lined the side
walks, and gazed at the strange pro-
cession until it was out Of sight.

A valuable addition to the rapidly
growing biographical literature of con-
spicuous continental figures has been
made by Mr.. Lewis Henry Boutell in
his Life Of Roger Sherman" Senator
Hoar, of Massachusetts,, the grandson
of Roger Sherman, had purposed to
write himself a memoir of his great an
cestor; finding his time insufficient he
rassed the carefully gathered docu-
ments to Mr.. .Boutell, who has used
them with great judgment, and COM
prehension. not only Of the man but
of the times, which his previous work
had prepared him for.
Roger Sherman was a man of strong
personality, and played part in conti-
mental affairs of which his descendants
may we'll be- proud. and which should
lead the nation at large to take an in
tereSt in his life and work.
