is a large harvest of fruit and the

the conditions in a period of fifty

MILFORD, PIKE COUNTY, PA- FRIDAY, APRIL "A, 1886
sLeleh of Rer. Psler Kanouse.

In Une HlSBOr1Cd memorial OF lne
Presby terian church, of Succasunna,
N. j., is the following character
sketch written by Rev. DIR. J. F. Tut
tie, of Rockaway, N j., Rev, Peter
Kanouse was fourth pastor of this
He was the son of Jacob Kanouse,
church who was born in Wittenberg,
Germany and Mary Pierre Kanouse
IL descendant of the Hugenots in the
south of France and was born Aug.
20 1884, in Rockaway Valley, Morris
Co. N. j., about one mile northerly
from the present city of Boonton.
He died May 80, 1865 while pastor
of the Presbyterian church of Deck
ertown, Sussex Co. N. j., and was
buried there. His early advantages
for education were very limited.
When Rev. Barnabas King came to
Rockaway in 1906, and permanently
in 1903, he found Mr.. Kanouse faith
fully toiling in his blacksmith shop
at Rockaway Valley. He was an
earnest christian, full of religious
zeal, eloquent and attractive, eager
for knowledge, and desiring an edu-
cation. Rev. King encouraged all
these aspirations. After the death
of his wife about 1916, and the child
rem were in the care of his wife's re-
latives, he went to the Bloomfield
Academy, then under the care of
DR.. AMI Armstrong. His educa-
tion classical and theological was
under that great teacher Mr.. Kan
ouse was man of great power in
and out of the pulpit. His work
in the Glove church, Beemerville,
and in his old age at Deckertown,
attest this. The reVvals at Want
age and other fields proved him to
be very remarkable minister and
preacher. He was for a time in
Newark, N. j., and Owego, N. Y.
In person and manner he was no
BILE and lovable. Rev. King led him
into the ministry, and they were
ever bosom friends. His residence
which he built in Succasunna is still
standing and is one of the choice To-
cations in the village. He was or
tlained and installed at Succasunna,
Jan. 22. 1923. His labor began th ore
in the summer of 1922; dismissed
June 1928. The fruit of his labor
was abundant. More than fifty
were added to the church in the five
and e-half years of his pastorate.
His wife, Mary W., united with the
church at Succasunna in August
1924. He was thrice married first
to Mary Osborn, of Rockaway Val
ley, who died leaving four sons, sec
ond to Mary Wolverton Bassett, Oct.
10, 1922, and his children, who grew
to adult age: Elizabeth, Theodore,
Ann Maria and Harriet. BY his
third marriage with Amanda De
Camp he had son, Charles A. Kan
ouse, who, with much of his fathers
spirit, entered the ministry at an
early age, and after sixteen years of
devoted work in the ministry, died
in Princeton. Kentucky.

GREENBACKS ALL RIGHT.
MIR. D1ngley Gives BostOnians the
Benefit of His Wisdom,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-Chairnan
Dingley today told a delegation from
Boston, who were given a hearing by
the ways and means committee in be-
half of plan of the Merchants Asso-
citation Of Boston for the maintenance
Of the parity of all kinds of money, that
all the trouble with the greenbacks
would be overcome simply by providing
Sufhclent reyenueHt to prevent a defici-
ency. If the revenues had been suf-
ficient to meet the expenditures, the
greenbacks could mot have gone out
again except in exchange for gold or
for the purchase of the bonded debt
because there would have been nothing
else to pay, and 1T would have taken
but short time in such a case to have
stopped the raid on the treasury. The
chairman said that If gentlemen who
wanted to aid in restoring confidence
and stopping the run on the treasury
would bring their influence to bear on
the senate to pass the house bill to in
crease the revenue, and on the preSi-
dent to allow it to become a law, they
would do the most effective practicable
service in that direction that is now
within sight. And, he added, by bring
ing their influence to bear for the pas
sage Of the house bond bill they would
secure legislation that would not only
reduce the rate Of interest and make
our loans Of one popular character, but
would also practically separate the re-
serve from the other funds Of the treas
ury so far as it's use Is concerned.

concessions as will be satisfactory;
that the encampment will be held as
advertised, and that 1t viii be one Of
the most successful G. A. r. encamp-
ments ever held.
Our proposition was not filed till
after we had received positive assur-
ances that we could not obtain a TWEEN
ty days limit. On full reflection we
concluded that the last proposition
would practically accommodate us as
well, as the thirty-day tickets, up to
and including Sept. 49, would be six
teen full days, and then If the small
fraction who would stay longer were
granted the privilege they could do so
on the payment of the difference men
toned.
I'VE have also interviewed Com
mander-in-Chief Walker on the ques-
ton, Albert Scheffer going to Indianap-
oils last night for that express pur-
pose. The following telegram will
show with what success Mr.. Scheffer
labored:
Gen. Walker is with us heartily,
and our position is satisfactory.

MANITOBA CATHOLICS
VIII. Accept No Compromise Rene
dial School Measure.

OTTAWA, Ont, Jan. 3O.-The menu
bers of the dominion cabinet are hav-
ing much difficulty in agreeing upon
draft Of the Manitoba school bill. To-
day it was privately stated by an En-
glish-speaking minister that a measure
had been virtually decided upon which
contained compromises on both sides
Tonight, however, a telegram was re-
ceived by Hon. ]. A. Quime from j. A.
Ewart. of Winnipeg, counsel of the
Catholic minority. stating that he had
started for Ottawa. after an interview
with Bishop Langevin, and that his
grace would on no condition agree to
allow the government inspectors, who
are all Protestants, to even enter his
schools. The arrival of this unlocked
for telegram has given the work Of
preparing the remedial bill severe
setback. It Is evident that the arch
bishop will accept nothing but a re-
turn to the system Of separate schools
as 1T existed prior to their abolition
in 1891. Up to that time the Roman
Catholic schools were completely under
the control Of the church

PARTY RATE REBATES.
Milwaukee Road Claims 1t Was
Cheated by Rivals.

A little bit of news was sprung in
local railroad circles yesterday which
Is calculated to make some of the Chi
cago lines wish they had not been SO
fast to go in for scalping business be-
tween here and Chicago. A day or two
ago General Passenger Agent George
Heafford, of the Chicago, Milwaukee
q st. Paul road, asked Chairman Cald-
well, of the Western Passenger as
ISOLATION, to rule on certain phases of
the vexed party rate question, and it
is promised that some of the lines will
wish they had not toyed, with the
knife in connection with party rate
tickets.
Last November the St Paul-Chicago
lines agreed to pool all the business be-
tween here and Chicago, hoping to
their rates, but it is said the weaker
lines found a way to play into the
hands of the brokers by using party
tickets, and the stronger roads suffered
in consequence.
While the regular rate from here to
Chicago is $11.50, the manipulation
pulled it down to s8.05, and at that
figure vast deal of business has been
carried on.
AS nearly as the matter is understood
in st. Paul, Mr.. Heafford wishes some
of this scalp for himself, and asks
the chairman to rule that in the diVi-
sion of the traffic under the pooling ar
rangement, all such business as was
carried on party tickets, when 1t can
not be shown that it was made up of
theatrical or other regularly organized
companies, be rated at s11.50 a ticket
the regular tariff.
In this way he hopes to have return
ed to his and other of the stronger
lines which suffered as a result of
this manipulation, the revenue to
which he says they are entitled, and
which he thinks has gone to enrich the
Golfers of the brokers.

no coercive effect, because all the conflictine
interests are now united and worL,na n Ia
mony. 1t denounces strongly the circum
stances under which the original receivership
was appointed. 1t says this receivership was
OF justice and fair dealing. which Congress
ought to prohibit by appropriate legislation.
J: r Hardy, one Of the Philadelphia directors
says: P''
The various interests in Northern Pacific
affairs, within the last few weeks, have been
working In harmony. No matter which court
set of receivers may be i'm control the
representatives of the various classes OF Sc
curities are working together for the pur-
pose OF accomplishing an early and successful
reorganization Of the company The previous
differences which caused the fight to be made
on the question Of jurisdiction have been
almost entirely settled"

ST. PAULITEs HAVE A PLAN
by Which 1t Is Hoped to Keep the
Encampment Here

CHICAGO, Jan. 30-Another plan Is
on foot to keep the @. A. r. encamp-
ment in St Paul. A committee of cit
liens Of that city has made a propo-
sition to Chairman Caldwell, Of the
Western Passenger association, that
the time limit on the tickets be fifteen
days, with the understanding that any
person wishing to have his ticket ex-
tended to thirty days may do so by
paying the difference between the rate
of one cent mile and one fare for the
round trip. Chairman Caldwell ex-
planned to the committee that he had
no power to call a special meeting of
the association unless on the request
Of two or more roads, but that he
would submit the plan to the members
Of the association, and If they were
DESTROYS that a meeting should be
called. he would issue the call at once.
The ST. Paul committee was very
anxious that the meeting be held be-
fore Feb. Z, and said that they were
certain that the arrangement they pro-
posed would be agreeable to the G. A
r. Up to a late hour this afternoon
Chairman Caldwell had received no
word from any of the association lines
that they wished to hold another meet
ing, and the feeling Is general that
no request for a meeting will be made.
Rates from ST. Paul to Northern
Pacific coast points are being cut 81
by the manipulation of advertising
tickets of the issue of the Great North
ern road. The road has been called
upon by the chairman of the Western
Passenger association to put an end to
the manipulation unless 1t can be shown
that it is in no way its fault.
