MINUTE.
JOHN H. LIDGERwooD.

MINUTE passed by the vestry Of the
Church of the Redeemer, Morris.
town, N. j., at a meeting held on
January 7th, 1910.
1t is with great sorrow and deep
sense Of serious loss that the vestry of
the Church of the Redeemer records
the death of John II. Lidgerwood, who
passed away on January 1st, 1910, in
his home at Speedwell-amid sur
roundings rendered historic by the
inventive genius of Morse and Vail.
Mr.. Lidgerwood was identified with
the 'early history of our parish and
some half century ago, in 1858, he was
elected one of its vestrymen. During
the long period that has elapsed since
he first took Office there had been nc
break in its continuity.
Mr.. Lidgerwood was a man of active
and vigorous mind. In the early
struggle of the parish for existence
and recognition, as we'll as in the
t0OOA O0yO VI I'D plOopVAAuJ dDO luuu-
ence, his courage and wise counsel,
were always at the command of his
church. He was a generous man, and
gave with an open hand toward the
many changes, Improvements and en-
largements of the church buildings
and lands.
He was a man OF marked integrity
In business "a steadfast friend, kind,
ready to help the needy and give
strength to useful charities.
After long and successful life, sur
rounded by loving family, he has
gone from among US, leaving US to
cherish the memory of an engaging
and strong personality.
Our tenderest sympathies are here
extended to the members of his family
and heartfelt wishes for the "peace
of God, which passeth mans under
standing"

A PECULIAR LILY.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. b. Adams Have an
Odd species.


Odd Species.
Mr.. and Mrs. James e. Adams, Of
DeHart street, are proudly exhibiting
a rare species of lily. 1t is called a
black lily and is of the calla family
and came from Egypt. Though called
black it is in reality a deep maroon.
There is only one blossom on the stalk
and no foliage. The blossom springs
from bulb which is placed in a jar
dinnere without soil or moisture. The
lily stands about four feet high and
the blossoms, including the pistil, is
about eighteen inches in height. The
lower part of the pistil inside the
lily, closely resembles an ear of rice
corn, bearing what appears to the eye
to be small white kernels.
Last spring the bulb, which was
presented to Mrs. Adams by Mrs
John e. Parker, of Prospect street,
was planted in the ground and from
it sprung nothing but foliage. The
leaves grew to a length Of about two
feet and the plant stood about -four
feet from the ground. The leaves
formed shape not unlike an umbrel
la, but there were no blossoms.
When the frost came and killed the
leaves the bulb was dug up and placed
in the cellar. just after Thanksgiv
ing small shoot appeared and the
bulb was placed in the jardinniere
The blossom gives out an odor which
is almost offensive and is very strong
Local florists and horiticultursts
have examined the lily and all say
they have never before seen anything
like it.

planned against the fining of two of his
sons by Police Justice Patrick j How
ard recently, asserting that the action
of the Justice was unwarranted and
without reason. He asserted thai his
sons, who drive hacks for him, had
orders received in advance from fares
to meet them upon their arrival
of certain trains. They drove into
the station yard to await their fares
and former Station Agent Charles
Prescott ordered their arrest, alleg-
ing that they had violated that section
of the hack ordinance relating TO the
soliciting of fares in the station yard.
Justice Howard fined them, so Dolan
alleged. He asked the board Of alder
men to remit the fines but Mayor
Theodore Ayers summarily dismissed
him with the statement that the hack
situation at the depot was being con-
sidered by the license committee.
Several hackmen we're present and
went away grumbling at the mayors
action, and asserting that they could
not get Justice.

a WORD FOR OUR STATE.

Fasteners by the tens OF thous-
/ ands invade California yearly for
\ the purpose of viewing the Arcadian
valleys and the mountains that rise
| in splendor, says the Reno Gazette.
Oppressed by fog and mud in win
ter, to say nothing of the incessant
rains; congested by dust in summer
and assaulted by pitiless heat--they
would not be pleasantly impressed
by their sister state If 1t were not
for the hypnotic gestures and Ian,

The unpleasing conditions in Cali
fornia are not the fault of the people,
but of nature. which has decreed
4 that the annual procession of the
mercury up and. down the thermom-
z eter tube is forbidden and that the
only variation in seasons. worthy OF
notice shall be the excess or lack of
humidity.
There are certain advantages in
these conditions, such as the need
lessness of changing raiment, but
Nevada prefers it's alternate heat and
cold, the one bringing the gifts OF
nature to the door and the other
giving rest to plant life that il
may be all the more vigorous In
it's growth when the winter ends.

Official Paper uf Lincoln County

the Salt Lake Telegram says, OF the
valuation of $500 900, 600. OF course,
all that will not be realized in money,
but it all enters into wealth OF the
dominion Nothing on this CONT
nent has been like it, save the early
expansion of the Dakotas, when their
soil was, by railroads, brought with
in reach Of a market. In the mean
time, the population of Canada has in
creased for the year by 152,O7l, OF
whom 72,349 were from the United
States, AZ $50 were from the British
isles, and the rest scattering. That
| indicates that it is only from strong
races that the people are made up.
Aside from the farms, the silver
product for the year was $ll ,0OO,OUO,
while the yield of copper, cobalt and
nickel amounted to $4,000, 900. Those
metals made the leaven for the whole
| business and helped to keep the
market for the products of the soil
up to a profitable figure. Canada
last year imported goods and wares
to the amount of $300,000,000 two
thirds of which were from the United
States; while of her exports, the
! United States took about $4,000, 900

advancement for fifteen or twenty
years to come is brighter than that

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

OF all the legislation that mas pass

the act establishing the postal saw

be established in every post office

Of money may deposit the same with
Uncle Sam, and draw small per

tremendous efforts to establish these
banks for the people in all parts OF
the country, and in few months II
is predicted that postal savings banks
will be doing business in every count
in the United States.
