OBITUARY..


Rev. Stewart f. Custard died
Tuesday March 9, at Dunellen, New
Jersey at which place he was
stationed as pastor of the M. e.
Church. The funeral services will
occur at that place in the Church to-
day Friday at p. m.
This notice will prove a sad one to
many in this community and espe-
cially to the members of the NJ. E..
Church and congregation. Mr..
Custard became pastor of this
church five years ago, and continued
in charge three years going from
here to Dunellen where his death
has just occurred.
Milford was his first charge but
he was man of maturity ON COM
ing here, having previously been a
public school teacher for a number
of years during which time he fire.
quently rendered service in the pull
pit as a local preacher Thus he
brought to the pastoral work when
he assumed it considerable expert
eaoe, a trained mind, and ability
that had been put to the proof, as
we'll as thorough conservation of
spirit. His CHEEKY nature and win
ming address gained him friends at
once. In all the relations of life,
modest courteous and friendly, in
his sacred calling he was diligent
affectionate and unsparing of self.
Though following men of wide
ministerial reputation his labors in
pulpit and parish proved highly ac-
ceptable, and his three years in the
Milford charge were attended with
success.
The same qualities which endeared
him to his own people drew to him
also the hearts of Christi ans gener-
ally, and he left friends in all the con-
gregations OF enlightened princi-
pies and wide sympathies, he sought
the welfare of the whole community
and was universally esteemed as a
citizen. In his early death life OF
much promise is brought TO close
While here there were indications
that his strength was not equal to
his ambition, on several occasions
he was laid aside by illness, an ex-
perience which has continued in his
new home. The warmest sympathy
of this people will go out to his be-
reaved wife who has stood ON the
shore of the dark sea while her COM
panion passed over, and the prayers
of her many friends will go up that
she may be given fullness of strength
to bear her great trial. Funeral
services will be held to-day at Dun.

LEFT HOME TO NURSE LOVER.
A sweethcarts Devotion Ends in a We'd
ding.

In the marriage in New Durham,
N. j., on March 4 of Francis Kill
gour, of Passaic, N. j., and Miss
Clara De Clyne. one of the bellies of
New Durham, eliminates a pretty
romance of many years growth.
Mr.. Kilgour is the second son of
wealthy John F Kilgour, of Passaic
long known as the Bluestohe King,
from his extensive interests in the
quarries of Shohola and Parker s
Glen in this county. Three years
ago the young people proposed to get
married, but the senior Kilgour op-
posed the union. The son left his
fathers home.
Young Kilgour was stricken down
with typhoid fever. Relapse after
relapse followed, and when he
seemed near deaths door, Miss De-
Clyne left her home and with her
family physician repaired to her
lovers bedside. Mr.. Kilgour was
able, two weeks ago TO be taken to
his sweetheart's home, and there
the two were made one on Thursday
evening.

THE REV. J.A. WIEGAND
The Energetic Pastor Of Hope
Evangelical Church, Mat
amoras, Pa.
He Enters on the Third Year Of His Pas
torate, Having Been Returned
by the East Pennsylvania
Evangelical Conference.

(From the Port Jervis Gazette)
Rev J. A. Wiegand, who for the
past two years has been the pastor
Of the Hope Evangelical Church,
Matamoras. Pa, returned home Fri
day evening from Reading, Pa,
where he has been in attendance
upon the East Pennsylvania Evan
gelica1 Conference which was in ses-
sion in that city for six days, closing
on Tuesday evening, March g. From
the Reading papers we should judge
that Mr.. Wiegand was a very use
full member of that body, as he was
Committee on Resolutions and Stat
istics, which two committees re-
quired the greater portion of his
time while there.
The people of Matamoras are to
be congratulated on the fact that
Mr.. Wiegand has been returned to
the Hope Evangelical Church for
the coming year Mr.. Wiegand
came to Matamoras from Mauch
Chunk, Carbon county, two years
ago, succeeding Rev. T. L. Wentz,
whose two years term had expired,
making the change a necessity.
Matamoras is considered by the
Evangelical Conference as a very
promising field, and they deemed
that Mr. Wiegand was the proper
person to occupy the pulpit of that
church and develop the work.
Events have shown that the judg-
ment of the conference was wise.
During Mr.. Wiegand's two years
pastorate the church has increased
in spiritual and financial strength,
and his return by the conference
was in response to the unanimous
desire expressed by his congrega-
tion. Mr.. Wiegand is in every sense
pastor, both in the pulpit and in
the homes of his Pensioners. At
the preaching services the pastor is
usually greeted by full church and
in all his efforts for the promotion
of the welfare of Hope Church, he
has the hearty sympathy and CO.
operation of his congregation.
This is shown by the several soci-
cites in the church, the members of
which are very active in Christian
work such as the Ladies Christian
Union" " Z" United Christian Work
ers, and Christian Endeavor Soci
ties, both junior and senior. It is
not at all strange that Mr.. Wiegand
should be returned for he holds an
enviable place in the hearts of the
people of Matamoras and Port Jer-
Wis, where he is we'll known. Al.
though young in years, he is
strong man in the pulpit, is a forci-
BILE speaker, has broad ideas, and his
sermons are characterized by sound
and convincing logic. representing
the truth in a very clear manner,
and his preaching is such as to ac-
complish much spiritual good
It is not alone in the pulpit that
Mr.. Wiegand is successful, but his
genial happy disposition and kind
and sympathetic nature make him a
welcome guest in the so cial circles
ana the home.
We congratulate the congre ga
tion and the people of Matamoras
over the return of their pastor and
hope that the conference ma y con-
tinue him there for the full fou T
years which is the limit of the pas :
torate under the itinerary system in
the Evangelical Church.

enough to keep one Senator. Now
I or the first time since 1869 there
are two Republican Senators from
the state, and that Senator Foraker
and Hanna will creditably represent
the state is as certain as that they
have taken rank among the leaders
Of the Senate.
The know-it.alls who were cock
sure that President Mckinley and
Speaker Reed Che doesn't happen to
be Speaker just now, but as the
title will be again COR ferred upon
him next week, itnoed not be drop
ped) were not ON good terms will
have to guess again. The first man
of prominence who had an extended
conference with President McKin-
ley was Speaker Reed, and 1 violate
no confidence in asserting that they
are in thorough accord as to the
policy to be pursued to restore pros
perity to the country and will work
together to carry out that policy.
No less than forty-six bills, in
Guiding three regular appropriations
failed TO become laws because of Mr..
Cleveland's failure to sign them, a
method of killing legislation which
many years ago acquired the name
of "the pocket veto" No President
ever left as many bills unsigned.
