MEMORIAL TO ORANGE MERWIN

Sunday was the third anniversary of the pastorate of the Rev Dr Beard at the Park Street Congregational church, Bridgeport. The occasion was noted by a tasteful decoration of the church pulpit, on which large bunch of red roses was conspicuous. Sunday was also the occasion in the church of the presentation of a memorial to the late Orange Merwin, who in. life was con spicuous in the church work, and the first president of the Mems league of the church. The memorial is in the form of pulpit desk, designed by Lamb of New York, substantial ma hogany affair, and in design it harmon izes with the other church fittings. The presentation was made during the morning service, and just after the opening. Albert E. Lavery, president of the league, made the presentation, and it was accepted by c. 5. Flames on behalf of the church and society. MT Lavery said that it was very pleasant duty that had befailen him to make the presentation to the church and society on behalf of the mems league, the memorial in honor of the memory of the late Orange Merwin. He said that the presentation was a duty that the league had assumed. born of love and affection for the man whose public life was a model and guide. MT Flames, in receiving it, stated that 1t gave him pleasure to accept it on be- half of the society. It was substan- tial token and one worthy of the life of Mir Merwin, whose life work was so benefclal to the community, Orange Merwin was New Milford boy by birth and the above will be read with interest.

DIES ALL PREPARED.
Director Leach Ready to Mint Coins
With the Motto Restored.

President Roosevelt, having signed the
bill directing the restoration of the motto
'In God We Trust to coins, ordered by
him stricken from the gold coins some
months ago on the ground that the law
did not authorize its use, Frank A. Leach,
director of the mint, has everything ready
to begin the issue of coins containing
the motto
In anticipation of the passage OF the
bill, which does not go into effect for
thirty days from the 18th of this month.
Mr. Leach had dies already prepared.
and these will be put into immediate use
at the proper time. In the meantime the
coinage of twenty-dollar and ten-dollar
gold pieces without the motto Will con-
tinue at the minis. business requiring
that there shall be no stoppage.
Director Leach said today that there
would be no material change in the Saint
Gaudens designs, the motto being the
only addition. No new designs will be
created.
The silver coins never had the motto
taken from them. and consequently no
change is necessary in them. The motto
was not dropped from the five-dollar and
two-dollar-and-a-ha gold pieces. the ag-
itation over the subject causing sus-
pension of the plans to make these SIM
liar TO the twenties and tens. After thir-
ty days, however. they will be minted
from the Sa -Gaudens designs. but will
bear the motto. On the twenty-dollar
gold pieces which have created much
comment through the country-a great
deal of it adverse-the motto will be
placed underneath the flying eagle near
the rim. On the tens the motto will go In
| front of the strengthening bird known
| as the eagle, there being blank spaces on
each coin into which the words will mt
