.USHERS' UNION
CAVE PRESENT.
In APPRECIATION OF THE WORK OF
DR.. AND MRS. S. VI. MORGAN.
John P. Holland Made Stirring PreSen'
tatiOn Speech, Asked in Behalf Of
the Union that DR.. and Mrs. Mer'
gan Continue to Reside Here.

One of the most impressive services
ever held in the Avenue NJ. E. Church,
was held on Sunday morning last, the
occasion being the final day for DR.
Morgan as pastor of that church, be-
cause of his having been made Presid-
ing Elder of the Dover District at the
last session of the Conference. DR..
Morgan did not preach, but gave
brief and concise reminisceuse of his
life, showing how the hand of God had
directed his entire career from early
manhood to the present time and said,
"While he regretted leaving the pastor
ate Of the Avenue NJ. E. Church, Of
Milford, he believed that he could see
The providential direction of it all. "
At the conclusion OF the short talk Of
DIR. Morgan, John p Holland, presi-
dent OF the Ushers' Union of that
church, in behalf of that organization
went front near the chancel, and in the
most i'm pressive language presented to
DR.. and Mrs. S. NJ. Morgan, hand
somely designed silver vase lined with
gold and beautifully and artistically
engraved with the following PRE-
sented to DR.. AVID Mrs. 3. NJ. Morgan
by the members of the UsheTs' Union
of the Avenue NJ Il. Church, Milford
Del, March 27, 1904 "
DR.. Morgan FespOned to Mr. Holland
in most fitting manner, and gave an
other evidence Of his love for the young
men. and especially those who compose
the Ushers' Union. Following this Dr.
Morgan extended an invitation for any
one who desired to lead better life tC
come forward aud connect themselves
with the church in response TO his ap
peal. Two young men went forward
and expressed a desire to connect
themselves with the church. At the
conclusion Ofthe morning service many
of the members Of he church went for
ward and shook hands with DIR. Nor
gan. In the evening at the Epwortf
League services, the two young mel
who went forward in the morning
were taken into the church; they wer'

/ Jr. The extent of the profound love o
the members of the Ushers' Union fol
DIR. and Mrs. Morgan, can be NOR
readily understood by the reading o
the following resolutions which wer'
adopted at a special meeting on Frida!
evening last:
whereas, Bishop Fitzgerald has wisely aponte
the Rev. S. NJ Morgan, d. D., to the Presidin
: Eldership. and
whereas, This appointment threatens to tax
said Or. Morgan and wife from our midst and
whereas, The departure of both DR.. and Mr.
: Morgan at this tme-a critical period in the hi
Z tory OF the Ushers Union when the very exi
, tence of the organization largely depends upo
their oversight and counsel, threatens to mil
mize the usefulness of said Union; be it
$ Resolved, That we, members of the Usher
e Union, earnestly urge DR.. and Mrs. Morgan
p continue to reside in Milford.

Collector Joseph Made Three Arrests.

Gardner w Joseph, who for the pasT
few years has been Collector and Treas
urer Of the town, continues to make
new records as collector On Mon
day morning last he had ordered three
arrest which were msde before eight
O'Clock. The facts of the case are, that
the collector was endeavOring to clear
up his 1902 duplicate, which expired
this week, and any tax Of that date
which was not paid by Tuesday could
not be collected by the tax law and be-
comes a common debt, and if collected
after that date, should he use forthwith
law. he himself would be liable to a
heavy fine and imprisonment. Such
expedients are hard for collector, and
vet necessary to protect himself and
the town in whose interest he is EN-
ployed.
Mr.. Joseph has succeeded in collect
ing his entire 1902 duplicate less th'
usual deaths, errors, etc, which wer'
granted him by the Council, such worl
is commenda le and shows that ou
collector Is awake to his duty.

The Shade Tree Question.


The ladies of the New Century Club |
have manifested an interestin the town
of Milford, that is very commendable,
and one that should have been to the
front many years before the present
era; as the women of Milford are the
only wealthy class in the community.
Had they have manifested the same in
terest in the town in the past that they
are at present, the planting Of trees
along the streets in the cutters, and
the gradual alencrOachment on the streets
by curbing beyond the lines, could not
have been the evil that it now is. In
the sidewalks of Milford there are
many trees that occupy fully one-half
of the passage-way that should be and
was intended for pedestrians. These
trees have ruined the pavements and
made them almost dangerous to walk
over, and most of them are encrOaching
on the gutter and Obstructing the side
walks.
Then the ladies should have insisted
years ago, that the streets should be
graded, the trees set with regularity
and some sense Of symetry be OBJ
served but they did not, and DOW the
town authorities nave adopted the very
idea that the, are advocating, and are
having the streets properly graded,
which OF necessity requires that trees
should he removed in many instances.
In regard t. the trees on North Second
ST. eet over which Mrs. Williams ha'
made u wall, the facts are very much
on tue other foot Mr.. NuJter had ar
ranged to take down the uuslShll!
tees on hi. sidewalk before the schOOl
authOTities even sold the hOu'es that
were afterwards moved through that
street. They had, encroached on the
gulter 30 that the water had cut the
street away for distance OF hve rect
towards the centre and had made the
sideW alks almost unsafe to walk over
Mrs. Powders had done the same ana
the Board of Education vas going 10
removs all OF the old and unsafe trees
in f,oat of It's new building and VIII
set others Oh the inside of the side
walks, which is 10 bemade much wider
On North street, the trees are all III the
cutters, and for several years 1t was dlt'
fieult for wagons loaded with hay TO
yet down though parts Of it so there
is no Justice in that claim.
Now Just one suggestion to the ladies
interested in this matter; if you Will
urge upon the properly owners Of Mil
f. rd the necessity of setting out shade
trees at intsr> ais Of say twenty-fOul
feet and one foot back from the actua
rurb llne,so that tie tree may have sur
hcient room 10 grow without disturb
ing The curD line, aud see that they are
s,ar.ed now, sO that they may replac'
he decaying trees, they will work GU
. thing beautiful for the streets of NIL
lord, and he future sehela'iOH9
bless them.
or what avail is it to preserve TN
tees ow standing, if no provision i
made for the future. Nature is lneAor
able and the beautiful trees OF to ia!
will die, aud the ladies can do nothing
mo,e for The welfare Of their own toWI
than to see that every woman wh
, owns property here, shall make thi
, provision and see that her trees al
: properly trimmed and at the prope
/ time.
If good results shall come from IN
attack of "tree-fobia," none will b
prouder of it than the present memoei
q of the Town Council.
