DESTROY OLD HOUSE
This Ancient Building Erected
Before the Revolution.
Saw Continental Troops both In Vic
tory and Defeats Given Over TO
Wreekers-Newark Suburb
Needs Site for Playground.

Newark, n. J.-One of the most
ancient landmarks in the vicinity OF
Newark, N j., has been ruthlessly
destroyed by wrecking company. II
wac a house in the suburb of Irving
ton, which was old when Washington
led his little army past it in his re-
treat TO Morristown, pressed closely
by the enemy. Repulsed at Spring
field, three miles away, the Hessians
and British redcoats fed past 1t on
their retreat to New York II served
as a hiding place for the muskets OF
the patriots when the British TEN
porarily were in possession Of the
neighborhood. This was learned sew
enty.five years later when the build
ing was converted from shop into
a dwelling house. A number OF old
flint-lock muskets were found hidden
away beneath its caves.
Originally II was a sawmill, erected
some time prior to 100 by the early
Dutch settlers. II stood upon the
bank of the Elizabeth river, and de-
rived its motive power from a wheel
turned by the waters of that stream.
The site was one OF the first places
selected by Dutch and English immi-
grants for q settlement. II is men
toned in a will dated 1889. made by
one John Brown, ST., in which he be-
queaths the property to his three
sons. This document was executed
only sixty-nine years after the land
ing of the first important group of
settlers on the banks Of the Hud-
son.
The old building was associated
with a famous New York achieve
ment. Ten years before the Civil
war one of the wonders of New York
city was the Crystal Palace, occupy
ing a site on Sixth avenue between
Fortieth and Forty-second streets. II
was constructed almost entirely of
glass, after the Crystal Palace in
Hyde Park, London. In the London
structure it was necessary, when the
sun was strong, TO put up canvas
shades to temper the glare and heat.
The New York architect determined
TO correct this defect. They learned
that Cyrus w. Durand. who made his
headquarters in this old building at
lrvington, had discovered a process

bic ground glass. The enamel gave
the glass translucency, but not trans
parency. So all of the fifteen thou.
sand panes of glass were sent TO this
small shop to be enamelled before
they were fitted into their iron frames
in the palace.
For many years this shop was to
Newark what Llewellyn Park is to
Orange. Between 1906 and 1860 the
building IVES the laboratory, as well
as the factory of Mr.. Durand, who
was a great mechanical genius. He
was an expert in twenty-four different
trades. He invented the geometrical
lathe now used in the engraving of
bank notes. Another of his inven.
tions equally ingenius but of no prac.
tical utility, was the examination"
a machine In which a sentence can

that sentence is clearly distinguished
The plot on which the buildin
stood for over 200 years was wanted
for recreation center. Accordingly
the Irvington officials sold 1t to a
wrecking company for $55. Several
prominent citizens protested, urging
that 1t be preserved as a museum for
the local relics, which abound in the
neighborhood, but their protest was

Golden Rod Wedding.

One of the prettiest decorative
schemes for fall wedding is to use
the gorgeous golden rod as the ex-
elusive flower 1t lends itself to eith-
er a church or house ceremony equel-
ly we'll: it does not wilt quickly and
is found in nearly every locality.
Massed in huge brown crooks ard
jars, it fills corners and fireplaces; is
most decorative in flower holders
fastened to the walls and tied with
white and yellow gauze ribbon to the
ends of the reserved pews in the
church it is all that can be desired.
A charming canopy is made by
stretching wire netting that comes
by the yard, filling with vines and
ferns and then studding the whole
with clusters of golden rod. The
bride may carry white roses and the
maids yellow ones, and beautiful ef-
feet is made by having the attendants
in fllmy white frocks over yellow
slips, with yellow sashes and hair or
naments.
Have yellow candle shades, yellow
ices or ice cream, yellow bon-bons
and, If possible, use gold banded
china. At a daytime wedding this
sunshiny color is most effective, rs
it loses its radiant brilliancy a little
in an artificial light.
If cake boxes are used have the
monogram in gold. The most fash
ionable hour for weddings seems to
be at four or half after, and this is
just the time for this yellow color
scheme.
Everyone loves golden rod and the
dainty lavender and white asters that
are usually found by its side.
