courage of his convictions. He was par
ticularly beloved by the members of the
Green Ridge Wheelmen, and was presi-

DEATH OF A BRILLIANT MAN
Rev. Nicephor Chanath Was Pastor
of the Greek Catholic Church
at Irving Avenue and
Hickory Street.

Rev. Nicephor Chanath, pastor of the
Greek Catholic church, at the corner of
Irving avenue and Hickory street died
at the LaCkawanna hospital Saturday
night at Q o'clock. Father Chanath
had been ailing but one week. Sunday
last he read three masses, but it was
with great difficulty he performed his
duties.
The following day he was stricken
down and DR.. James Manlcy was call
ed. 1t was deemed best to have the
priest removed to a private room at
the hospital Up to Saturday after
noon his illness did not appear tn be
alarmingly serious. About o'clock he
began to collapse and lost conscious
ness, remaining in that state until he
passed away five hours later. The
deceaseds death was caused by pneu-
monia, following an attack of grip.
Father Chanath was possessed of a
vigorous constitution, but he unwiscly
neglected his condition to pursue his
sacred duties. He was a man of re-
marl<abe fine intellect, and was regard
ed as the ablest scholar among the
Greek Catholic clergy. He spoke pure
Greek with eloquence, and was fluent
in Latin, German, French and Hungar-
ian. With much zeal he was applying
himself to acquiring a knowledge of
English.
Father Chanath was forty years of
age, and in accordance with the law of
his church in the old country he mar
ried once, and a son was born to him.
Both mother and child died several
years ago. The deceased after their
death came to this country and was
assigned to u parish at Passaic, n. J..
At the urgent request of the members
of his late congregation he was trans
ferred to this city four years ago. He
labored untiringly in the interest of his
flock. He soon wiped out the debt on
the church properties. Church societies
were organized, and the congregation
became prosperous and grew wonder
fully. Father Chanath called his male
parishiOners together once a week and
lectured to them. He trained them to
adjust themselves to American citizen
ship, and to he thrifty. In his death
his charge has sustained a deep loss.
His remains We're taken to the reCtory
adjacent to the church. The funeral
will be held from his late residence
with a mass of requiem at the church
tomorrow at $50 o'clock. Interment
will be in the Greek Catholic cemetery
at Minooka.

PLENTY OF SLEIGHING.
More Snow Now Than There Has
Has Been at Any Time This
Weather Biting
Cold for Two Days.

Just to prove what q consistent yet
versatile fellow he is the weather man
made several lightning changes last
week and wound up by giving Us Il
New Years day almost identical with
the one of year ago.
Christmas was as bright and pleas
ant, if not quite as warm as a day in
May, and New Years was featured by
plenty of snow, biting cold and the
merry Jingle Of sleigh bells.
Last week was one Of unusual
warmth for midwinter and those who
were not keeping a sharp eye on the
weather man were really eXasperated
with him when light. driz2ling rain
began to fan Friday night. This turned
TO soft. haky snow toward morning,
but as the effect Of the cool wave began
To be felt there was considerable in
crease in the amount of snow that fell
and an equally great change in the
quality. The soft, sOggy flakes gradu-
ally changed and toward afternoon
Saturday the falling snow was hard
and dry and fine as powder.
After nightfall the wind increased in
velocity and kept the snow aCitated to
disagreeable extent. The downfall
continued until early Yesterday morn
ing when there was nearly two feet of
snow on the ground.
Notwithstanding the disa agreeable at.
mOspheric conditions of Saturday and
the cold Of Yesterday and last night
hundreds of sleighs were seen dashing
up and down the principal streets of
the city.
Today, which will be generally OBJ
served as New Years. will probably
furnish the best sleighing of the year.

p. LOngstreet, NJ. D., as coroner. His
successor, j. j. Roberts NJ. D., of the
West Side, will assume the duties of
the office tomorrow, or, as provided by

Though one Of the best known phys
clans in the county before his election
as coroner, DR.. LOngstreet made a host
of new friends and acquaintance dur
ing his term, His administration was
marked by his alertness, impartiality
and thorough knowledge of the law as
ii related to his office and its duties.
Though ever quick and ready to speak
his mind against any unfair treatment
or criticism. the reporters who came in
constant and confidential contact with
him found him always courteous and
obliging. To a man they regret the
close of their news relations with him

Young Mems Christian association
workers were greatly pleased yesterday
at the large audience of men which at
tended the opening service of the mems
meetings i'm the LyCeum theatre.
Notwithstanding the zero weather,
the body of the house was filled. 1t
was an interesting audience to look at,
the majority being young men appar-
emily between 16 and % years of age,
while a sprinklinG of wCll-known busi-
ness and professional men and num-
Der of clcrgymen were interested list
eners and participants.
The service opened very simply and
Informally soon after 345 O'Clock with
an announcement by General Secretary
Mahy concerning the purpose and
character of the meetings They were
to be for mon only. Admission was to
he by ticket. This was not to exclude
any, but to guard against the intrusion
of a rabblc who might be drawn by
an opening musical selection and who
would then stampede, to the annoyance
of the audience and the great detri-
ment of the meetings
JUBILEE SINGERS.
The South Carolina Jubilee singers
were unfortunate in having two of
their principal singers ill with the grip
and We're greatly handicapped in con-
sequence, yet their southern jubilee
choruses had the genuine southern
negro characteristics and were listened
to with interest. They sang during the
service three selections: My Lord,
What Morning" STEAL Away Home"
and "A Little More Faith in Jesus"
The association orchestra, enlarged
for these meetings. rendered IA stirring
overture and accompanied the singing
of the hymn. whatsoever Calleth." The
audience sang with snap and vim and
evidently enjoyed it.
Rev. Robert f. Y. Pierce, of the Penn
Avenue Baptist church. caught the at
tention of the younger men present by
his evident familiarity with and love
for the national game. He deplored the
fact that so noble a sport should so
largely have been debased by profess
Sionalism and rumored gambling. His
topic was Making a Home Run"
In order to make a successful home
run" and bring some others in as well,
he judged that four things We're neces-
sary, prudence pluck, perseverance
anu pltlN' L he lHuSlI winch the
speaker gave were apt and to the point,
and the audience listened eagerly
throughout the entire address.
THE AFTER MEETING.
At the close of the general service, an
after-meeting on the stage was largely
attended. This was a service of per-
sonal nature for prayer and conference
and for the STRENGTHENING of resOlu-
tions for the New Year.
ON the whole this service was a little
bit different from anything ordinarily
conducted and with the plans for bring
ing such speakers as c. A. Dorman, NJ.
