The bieycle industry i one in rAich

The bicycle industry is one in which
there has been very marked develop
ment as the result Of inventions made
within the last decade. In 1880 only
twenty-seyen establishments were re-
ported as engaged in the manufacture
OF bicycles Five years later more than
200 establishments were engaged in the
manufacture. and the output Of wheels
for 1895 was about 500, 0e0. Increasing
in 1897 to over 100000 wheels. In
1850 a large proportion Of the bicycles
used were imported, mainly from Eng
land, but in 1897 the exports OF cycles
and parts thereof TO England alone
we're valued at S2,12s,42 while the to-
tai exports were valued at Sc, sO2, 7ss.

promised excellently. The hostiles
were hidden In a lot OF rocks from

and decidedly anxious to prevent their

reasoned. however. that so deliberate
man as Bear Coat. would not act
with undue haste. and therefore they
sent word that they couldn't do any
thing in minute and asked for con-
sideration.

CYCLE NOTES.

In the cycling corps of the German army the men have exactly 30 seconds in which to dismount, lay their wheels down on their right side, unsling their rifles, load, present and fire.
 Sunday bicycle racing is prohibited by the League of American Wheelmen. Attractions of this rule mean severe punishments for all offenders, from promoters to competitors. Despite this fact, Sunday race meets are common enough in Greater New York. Few, if any, prominent racing men take part in them.
 For the better protection of members of the League of American Wheelmen, the New York State Division has SUD- piled all l.. A. ". hotels and restau- rants on its revised list with new official signs as several hotels have given bicy- cle riders, whether l.. A. ". members or not, the same 10 per cent discount. At all hotels having this sign L. A. ". members, by showing their tickets, can have 10 per cent discount and the com mittee has taken care that only good reliable hotels are on the list they have made contracts with.

MYRON E. NUNS0N.

The NEWS of June 30th recorded the fact that Myron E. Munson, eldest son of Kneeland J. Munson of Miller ton, N. Y, died June 18th in a private hospital at San Francisco, Cal. The NEWS was in error in stating that Myron was born on the Munson home stead on Canaan Mountain. The fol. lowing is brief but correct sketch of Myron's career:
 Myron Elias Munson was born at Elizabeth, Ind, May 30, .1S46. When a few weeks old he was brought East in a wagon by his parents who came to live at the old homestead on Canasn Mountain. Myron attended the late Rev William G. Peirce's high school at Canaan iu 1861 and afterwards attended a boarding school at Woodbury, and finally took business course at East mans Business College, Poughkeepsie, N. l., where he graduated in 1864. He took trip to Kansas in 1867. and one to North Carolina in 1868. He married Dora Arnold in 1872 and went to South Carolina to live. His wife died the next year. and he returned north. He married Frances Aldrich in 1875 and went to California, and afterward to Washington, which at that time was a territory, where he took up government land for a homestead. Some years la- ter he and his wife separated, he turn ing over to her all his property.
 In 1884 Myron came East, but return ed to California in 1887 and travelled throughout that state and also visited Mexico and Washington but finally settled at Novato, Marin Co.,. Cal, only few miles from San Francisco.
 Myron had travelled through nearly every state in the Union. He had four children; one by his first wife, and three by his second wife. Each of his children was born ID different state; the oldest in South Carolina, the next in New York, the third in California, and the youngest i2 Washington.
 Farming was Myron's fayorite occu- patton. He owned farm of 37 acres of valuable land, and held stocks in banks and building and loan associa- tions.
 Later information states that Ayron died at the Waldeck Ssnitarium, 8 pri- vate hospital in San Francisco, after being there two weeks. He went there on the 9th of June for treatment. of a chronic difficulty, but the immediate cause of his death was cerebial apop- lexy, of which he had a stroke before going to the hospital, the cerebial hem orrhage setting in again while there.

IN MEMORIAM.
P. c. Cummings.

Iu the passing of Mir F. c. Cummings large sense of loss inevitably remains with us. There are so many who arc only missed by kindred. or at most by few choice friends. Here is one who by virtue of his fidelity to his church made for himself solid place in the affections of all. Always present at the services of the church, his voice was never sileut when an opportunity came to speak word for the Christ who com- manded his life and thought.
 felt the inspiration of his presence in very great measure. l remember one Sunday morning coming in church early and taking my place in the pulpit, finding him in his seat. To me he seemed totally oblivious of his sur rounoings, his eyes were closed, his face wreathed in smile of inetfable peace, his lips moved as though in prayer, grew quiet at heart as l studied that face, and then preached with greater fervor the Gospel he loved. The same was true at prayer meeting. His prayers were models of brevity and pointedness and withal breathed true spiritual life; his words of counsel and experience helpful.
 had many calls from hirl and re- turned them, and they were never lost iu catchy sentimentslism or religious cant; a tone of real untiring spiritual in- terest pervaded all he said. I could talk on she spirit filled life with perfect ease-he was at home here.
 We shall miss him everywhere but nowhere as in the services of the church-a sense of sadness comes over us when we think of it.
 But life hes it's minor chords that go to make up the perfect harmony of its totalisy. Many of us have passed so far down the river of life as almost to see the reflection of the waters of eter- nifty. We could not have travelled so far without passing beneath various clouds that cast their shadows upon our soul. Nor have we failed to see the sil- yer and gold borders, hint of surpass- ing splendor behind the clouds. We have learned to look for the light, the accompanying cause of so much beauty; and sooner or later to our watchful eyes the mists have dissipated and we were in floods of glory. Then we have seen days when the gloom of weather lay heavy upon the earth, and the brooks were brimful of nature's tears, and every branch was adrip, and the rank sedge lay low with the wright of its woe. But we said then and I say now: "The sun will shine again" and all na- ture echoed "shine again." Thus good mans passing leaves an afterglow.
 I am glad to have known him and with his many friends write these few words of loving appreciation. "He being dead, yet speaketh."
 "Nov God be thanked for years inwrought
 With love which softens yet;
 Now God be thanked for every thought,
 Which is so tender, it has caught
 Earth's guerdon of regret"

AT THE CHURCHES SUNDAY.
CHRIST CHURCH.

A very fine service was held at Christ church Sunday morning, Rev Henry Tsrrant of Lime Rock. preaching in ex- change with Rev Mir Barnett The con- gregation was quite large and listened with appreciation to the music and singing during the service. Wm. Camp officiated at the organ and the choir was unusually large and had in addition Mir l.. Nash of Jersey City, who is stopping ] at the Warner House and has very pleasing tenor voice.
 There were twelve members in the choir and their rendition of the Ts De,tn' LauddmuS was remarkably fine. The solo parts were taken by Mrs J. A.. Bierce. Mrs A. E. Evans, A. w. Nicoll and MT Nash. The choir also sang an anthem-the words taken from the 10th Psalm; and in addition MT Nash sang the solo, 70, God my heart is ready" as an offeratory.
 Rev Mir Tarrant took for the text of his address I Peter Is. And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves, for charity shall cover the multitude of sins" He said that charity was love which was put in the words of 4 ie first commandment. which he cad B q pointed out the characteristics of love, each characteristic being followed by few remarks. Among the charac- teristics he mentioned were that love was filial, fraternal, maternal, neighbor- ly, embracing, comprehensive, ,obedient, dependent, forgiving, penitent, watch ful, helpful, apprecistive, and that it grows and is impulsive. In concluding his address he said that love is to the moral world as the sun sis to the physi- cal world.

 NJ E. CHURCH.
 A very inspiring service was held at the M. E. church Sunday morning in which all who attended were very much interested. During the service Rev Mir Seeholzer read the presidents procla- nation and the congregation and choir together sang the hymn America" A person attending the service would have been thoroughly satisfied that Canaan is not behind any town in the matter of patriotism and love and respect for our country and our God. Mir Seeholzer asked Messrs Stevens and Parsons to lead in prayers, which they responded to with fervent appeals to God for the success of our country's navy and army and Tn securing peace. Rev Mir Seehol- ger also announced that memorial ser vice would be held within couple of weeks in memory of the brave sailors and soldiers who have died for their country during this trouble with Spain.
