ORANGE TREES ARE IN BLOOM.
Ideal Weather Prevails at the Country
Home of the Retired Kenosha Rector
Large crops Predicted.
PHOENIX, A. T., March 9, 1901.

MY DEAR EDITOR:
Since last wrote you we have had
our winter-if it may be called winter,
and am told by old residents that 1T
was the coolest in ten years. We had
sufficient frost to bite the foliage OF
the orange trees, yet the days were
warm and pleasant. The month Of
January was cold, but since the first of
February we have had some of the
most perfect = June weather | have
ever known.
/ have been busy pruning, and have
never worked to such a concert OF
beautiful music in my life. The black
| bird, thrush and meadow Lark have
given us constant song. These, with
the cooling of doves and the singing
of numerous smaller birds, make up
the concert which must charm the
du11est ear.
Our almonds have b1ossomed and are
now in leaf. The orange trees are full
of buds ready to burst and the fra
GRANGE is indiscriba bly, delicious. AL
fa1fa is more than knee high, wheat IS
in the ear, many trees are in full Leaf,
many parts of the desert are covered
with peoples in full bloom, and the
whole valley is full of promise for
prosperous season. This transforma-
ton has been brought about by the
abundant rains during january, fol-
lowed by the beautiful weather of last
month.
Our health is excellent, except that
cannot say that am much better my
self. Nature sis SO responsive to care
and labor that the temptation to over
do is too great for me, and | cannot
help working harder than should.
We have needed no fire in the house
for about three.weeks and sleep with
open doors at night, and sleep without
fear of intrusion from Tany living
thing, biped or otherwise. Our fuel
bill since Nov 1, including kitchen
stove and house heating, amounts to
about fifteen dollars. Our ice bill for
the summer is seventy-five cents per
week.
We depend upon Cinnamon for veg
etab1es, which have been very plenti-
full all the winter. Strawberries are
already on the market and will be very
plentiful this year. ClEnc1osiug you an
ear of wheat, 1 am,
Sincerely,
H. THOMPSON.

Artists who find patrons dissatisfied
with portraits which they have or
dered and will not accept will doubt
less be gratified by a recent episode
in Paris. 1t seems a Partisan dandy

of himself made which he afterward
pretended to find fault with. ut does
not look in the least like me, and I will
not take it." he said. The artist pro-
tested to no avail "All right, mon
sieur," he remarked finally, ''if it is
not at all like you, of course, | cannot
reasonably expect to get paid for it"
After the count departed the painter
added to the portrait a magnificent
pair of ass ears and exhibited it to the
gaze of the curious public. 1t had
not long been so exposed in the artists
studio when the count broke in one
day, in a towering rage. and finding
threats useless at last offered to buy
1t at a considerable advance on the
original price. 1T was not strange
that you failed to recognize your. pic

mined to be avenged for the slight put
upon his work. But I knew you
would notice the likeness as soon az
had added those ears.

japanese papers are waxing indig-
nant at the continued use of the con
traction Jap in English and Ameri-

as insulting as the obsolete and vul-
Gar term "Froggie" as applied to
Frenchmen. One of the Tokyo papers
tells a rather amusing story in this
context A distinguished diplomat
was travelling from Tokyo to Yoke

riage leaned across and said: Say,

came, in the purest of English: May

Marine men believe that navigation
this year will open late, despite the
fact that weather forecasters predicted
the tl1awing of lake ice atlthe present

lowed by the immediate movement of
vessels. The ice report'of the United
States DEPARTMENT. of agriculture states
that there is no ice in the Chicago har-
Dor, that Milwaukee, harbor' is free,
that the warm spell is bringing
breakup at st. Joseph and that at
South Haven ice ranges about eight
inches. Grand Haven, says the re-
port, has it's harbor blocked at the en-
trance with pack-ice. At Muskegon
harbor, ice averages eight iuches.
Navigation will not open until the
Straits of Mackinaw are free" said a
sailor on the Great lakes this morning.
cat present the straits are full of surg
ing ice, and it is impossible to get
through to Lake Huron or Lake Super
ior while this condition exists. Traf-
fic to Lake Erie is blocked also, as the
ice in the Detroit river is in such shape
that no boat is safe while attempting
passage. All depends on the Straits of
Mackinaw for an early opening of nav
igation, and to judge from the looks of
things. think that the opening of
navigation will be late this year.
Vessel owners are not entirely averse

The engineers strike will also be a

Youthful British Governors.

Lord Ampthill. who assumes the
governorship of Madras at the early
age of 81, is probably the youngest
governor of that dependency on rec
ord, but is nevertheless senior to his
brother-in-law, Lord Beauchamp, who
was appointed governor of New South
Wales at 26. In view of the very dis
tinguished qualities of his father,
which were more particularly mani
tested at the time when Lord Beacons-
field paid his famous official visit to
Berlin, where the first Lord Ampthill
was then ambassador, the new govern

al history of his parishoners. The peo-
pie were poor, yet they managed to pay
their debts to afford the then rare lux
ury of an organ for their church in 1884,
to contribute their share towards dioce-
san expenses, and to provide a modest
income for their rector. In this matter
they had some help from West Haven,
where part of DR.. Hubbard's time was
spent.
There is no record of the conservation
of the original Trinity church, although
Bishop Seabury visited it several times,
and the first completely organized do
cesar convention, with bishop, clergy
and laity, met within it's walls in 1892
and five years later Bishop Jarvis was
consecrated there. The building was
once by the erection of galleries; but
the congregation grew apace, and early
in the nineteenth century the new Trim
ity church, the one we all know, was
built on the Green. 1t was finished and
consecrated in 1916, soon after the APP
pointment Of the Rev. Harry Crosswell
as rector. Three of the five bishops of
our diocese are associated with this
church; the remains of Bishop Jarvis
rest beneath it's chancel, and Bishops
Brownell and Brewster were consecra-
ted before it's altar.
Trinity parish Is still young. What is
century and half in the history of
the Catholic church--the holy church
throughout all the worldof which our
diocese and our parishes form an inte-
grail part? Her members, who have
the honor to represent her here to-day
can desire nothing better for their own
or for their sister parishes than that
they may be permitted to uplift the
cross during succeeding centuries, as it
has been uplifted during the years that
lie behind us, until the world ranks it
self beneath this standard, and the
kingdom of our Lord is established.
