TWO NEWARK COUPLES ON

Two Newark couples are on their

EASTER LILY MAY
GIVE WAY To THE
KILLARNEY ROSE
Pink Blooms Likely to Take the
Place of the Customary
Decorations.

Easter without Easter lilies!. Such a
thing seems impossible, but if the proph-
esy of local florists be true. the beau
tiful white blossoms so familiar at this
time will have to take second place to
make way for the quantities of pink
that will be used.
Pink is the popular color. and pink
roses have come into their own. and
will be used almost exclusively for Eas-
ter decoration.
One local florist exhibits a specially
new pink rose, not milk the Killarney
species so we'll known for its delicate
shell-pink hue, and, while this may have
first place, pink blooms of every variety
will be used in quantities.
Another new pink rose that will be
launched for the Easter rad is a large
plant with clusters of pink and white
blossoms not unlike huge apple bios
sons.
AZaleas, the new Japanese pink and
white lilies, and the Paradise rose. as
we'll as many other varieties. will take
the place of the long-favored white lily.
The difficulty in bringing the Bermuda
lilies to full growth in this country is,
perhaps, the greatest reason for the
change. The plants are often injured
in transportation and as a consequence
the blossoms prove worthless and never
mature. The importation of Japanese
bulbs by American W has met
with some success, but at best there
have been looses.

TRENTON, March 30.-In an opinion
filed in the Supreme Court today by
Justice Garrison it is held that the
stock of a New Jersey corporation
which has been devised to a non-resi-
dent is SUBJECT to the provisions of the
collateral inheritance laws of this
State.
The filing of the opinion is the result
OF a suit brought by William T. Evans,
Of Montclair, and Alfred Nelson, of
New York, who are the American adj
;ministrators of the estate of the late
Philo l.. Mills. who died in England
owning 5000 shares of stock of Mills &
Glib, a company organized under the
laws of this State.
The administrators certioraried the
proceedings under which Surrogate
George e. Russell, of Essex County, and
State Comptroller j. Willard Morgan
levied an inheritance tax upon the
stock When application was made to
the registered agent of the corporation
for a transfer of the stock to the per-
sons named in the Mills will the agent
refused to make the transfer until the
holders of the stock presented to him
a receipt from the State Comptroller
showing that the State had been paid
its tax under the collateral inheritance
law.

LEGISLATORS MAY
TAKE RECESS FOR
A WEEK OR TWO
Probable That Governor Will Be
Given Time to Examine
Late Bills.
LFrom a star corrsspondent.l

TRENTON, March 30.-Following the
action of the Legislature of 1907 it is
probable that the Senate and House
will this year take a recess to allow the
Governor to consider the bills that will
be piled ON his desk during the last few
days and hours of the session. After
the recess the legislators will return to
consider bills that he may veto, but
it is the intention not to take up any
new legislation unless it should be abb
solutely ne cessary, or should be force
fully urged by the Governor. The re-
cess adjournment which was inaugu-
rated last year by the Democratic
House OF Assembly was commended
by Governor Stokes last year in his
message of last June.
1t is said that Governor Fort ques-
lions the legality of bills signed after
adjournment of the Legislature, hence
the proposed recess.
A strong effort will be made by the
senate Republican leaders to ave adj
journment taken his week, the recess
to be for ten days. or until the week
after next. In any case the adjourn
ment prior to recess will not be post
poned after next week.
