SUDDEN DEATH OF HoS john CoyorH
kilograms from Harrisburg received here this
morning bring the sad and unexpected inteIli-
gence that Hon. John Coyode, Representative
III Congress from the twenty-Grst district OF
Transatlantic, died there suddenly this morn
ing OF heart disease. MIR. Covode was born in
NestsorelBnd county, Pa, March IL 1908: re-
L ceived public school education; was engaged
IN agricultural, manufacturing and tr ansporta-
ton pursuits; became largely Inter sted in the
coal trade; was elected TO the 4th, 35tb, 3;th.
5tth and 4Oth C0Dgrt sses, and Was reelected 10
the 4lst Congress. He thus had great Iegsla-
tive experience, and was a very useful meuter
OF the House, serving On several important con-
mitfees, and giving his whole time and atten-
ton during the sessions OF Congress to the du-
ties devOlvcd upon him.
ZEE YELLOW ENVELOPE EUsINKss.-It is
doubtful whether more decided feeling of un-
easiness and solicitude as yer entertained by
tie inmates Of public Office than is now mani
tested by the employees OF the internal revenue
bureau over impending or apprehended changes
therein. Whether well or i'll founded cannot OF
course be told, but this feeling seems to be shared
10y suoordnates of every grade, and it is not
confined alone to those directly connected with
efhce here, but extends to those engaged in its
service throughout different parts OF the coun-
Try, and Is nearly as wide spread as though there
mad been political change in the head of the
once. Indeed, there seems TO be an impression
or feeling that the changes will be even more
numerous and marked than those which follow.
ed Mr.. Delano's accession to the place OF Com
missioner on the Inauguration of the present ad-
ninistratlon, but this assumption can hardly be
well founded. 1t Is more likely that Gen. Pleas
oDton will move slowly and wisely in his new
position, and make only such changes as are
clearly for tn r.,tl,t;
