FRANK MlLLIKEN DEAD.
Young Man Passes Away at His Home
In FeutOn.

Word was received here this week of
the death of Frank Milliken, youngest
son OF Mr. and Mrs. + M Milliken, at the
home of his parents in Fenton on Thurs
day of last week after lingering illness
of consumption. He contracted the grip
last winter, and never recovered from
the fleets Of the attack, the disease de
veloping into consumption and terminal
ing fatally. The funeral was held at he
residence on Sunday last and interment
made in the Fenton cemetery.
de was we'll known 10 Alma people
as bright young man. When his
parents managed the Milliken House at
this place the last time they were here,
he successfully looked after the business
part OF the management, although at
that time he was not tN enty years Of
age. We are indebted to the Fenton
Independent for the following notice of
his death:
Frank was a young man OF bright
prospects and much business ability.
he was succeeding nicely in his bust
ness ventures, when the dread disease
fixed upon him. His death at an early
age, is particularly a sad one, and IL
falls heavily upon his parents, who have
been called upon before to lose son who
had just reached young manhood His
parents and one brother, II A. Milliken,
OF Flint, survive him.
Francis Maxwell Milliken was born
In Fenton Sept. 10, 1879, and his boy
hood was spent in this village. He &C.
oompanied his parents when they lett
this place. and had always been with
them. His health failed while they
were in the hotel business at Owosso,
and selling out there they went to Les
Cheneaux Islands. thinking the change
m ght be for the better, but his health
gradually failed. until they saw they
we're fighting the inevitable and they
returned to Fenton, where everything
was done to make the closing days Of
his life as comfortable as possible.

TAPKAOW OUTPLAYED MONDAY
South Orange BowIers Have no Trou-
BILE In Capturing Scalp
of Local Team.

Camerons Curler's,'' the crack
bowling team of South Orange,
made a visit to the Tapkaow
Bowling team last Monday evening
and carried off the honors and high
scores. The Tapkaow Rooters were
out in full force and exerted them
selves to the utmost but all to no pur-
pose for the visitors walked off with
the first game and also the last one.
The games had been looked forward
to for some time as Mr.. Cameron,
captain of the South Orange team,
promised last fall to bring his team to
Morristown and show the boys here
some of the finer points in the game.
The captain himself is a fine bowler
at times and some others of his team
are stars in their particular styles.
Mr.. Grady's playing was brilliant and
on the grand stand order and made a
very interesting game to observe. Mr..
Babson, the best bowler among the
visitors, was in fine form but played
in hard luck SO that his score did not
show up as it should have done. Messrs.
Wildey and Redfern were the saliva
tion of the Orange team and did yeo-
mans work in pulling through the
balance of the team and it is reported
that a handsome gold medal is to be
presented to each of these gentlemen
as a slight recognition of their noble
efforts on this occasion.
The Morristown bowlers fulfilled
fully the expectations of their friends
and fell down nobly in the first and
last games and sustained their reputa-
tions by winning the second game by
a narrow margin. There was no es-
pecially brilliant playing on the part
of any one of the Tapkaow's but they
played well together and averaged up
all about the same-if we except
"Uncle Danny" VOORHEES, who sur
passed all the others and made the
high score for the Tapkaows.

Valuable Trophies of Hunt and Con-
quest shipped From Africa to
Morristown by Mr.. A. b. Lueder
At the home of Miss Mary r. Rose
wear, on Ridgedale avenue, is a
collection of skins of animals. weapons
Of warfare, head and body dress of the
natives and musical Instruments that
came from South Africa which are.
beyond doubt, as rare private
collection as can be found in this
country.
They were sent Miss Rosevear by her
tiance, Mr.. Archie B. Lueder. who is
now in Africa as the agent for the
American Bridge Company, and is
working along the Uganda railroad
under the British Government. Over
week ago Miss Roseyear received the
box containing the curios, which was
nearly two months getting to this
country and came incased i'm tin.
Among the skins in the box was the
one of the lion which Mr.. Leuder killed
as told recently in a letter from him
which was printed in the Chronicle.
1t is large skin, and cured by the
rude methods of the natives. Others
were: zebra, wild cats, monkeys.
leopards, tiger, skull and horns of the
antelope, teeth of the rhinoceros and
a large skin drum and stick. The most
interesting are the implements Of war
used by the semi-civilized inhabitants
There were two quivers of arrows.
One contained blunt heads, while the
others were tipped with pointed steel,
and jagged edges, some being blood
stained. Two shields, one of animal
skins, which had been pierced by an
arrow, and the other Of wood covered
over with hide, accompanied the set.
The eight large spears, that are hurled
with such accuracy by the natives,
were the most unique of the collection.
They are sharp on the edges and
evenly balanced. Miss Rosevear had
also native sword in an animal skin
shield, and a wooden spear.
Mr.. Lueder enclosed in the box the
head dress and adornment of Masia,
Chief Warrior, which are very difficult
to obtain. These were made from the
furs of the animals and bird feathers.
Mr.. Lueder expects to arrive in this
country in several months, but at
present is on an elephant hunt.

night and released Sunday morning.

Location of Gen. Iitz John Porter
statue at Portsmouth Changed
to Haven Park.

A public hearing has just been held
in the city hall, Portsmouth, on sign
ed petition to change the location of
the $50, 900 statue to Gen. Fitz John
Porter. The committee of the last
city government located the site for
the statue on Haymarket square
against the wishes of the residents of
that section, and several hundred citi-
zens. AS soon as the new committee
was appointed a long petition was pre-
sented, asking that the location be
changed to Haven Park. There were
several speeches made, all except one
favoring Haven Park, that being the
site of the birthplace Of Gen. Porter.
At a subsequent meeting of the com
mittee the location was changed from
Haymarket square to Haven Park.
The statue is now well advanced by
Sculptor John Kelly, of New York,
and the dedication is set for July LIST,
