OBITUARY NOTES.
Luther IF. Couch.

Luther B. Couch of 450 Edgewood avenue died early yesterday morning of typhoid fever, after an illness of four weeks. MT. Couch was teller of the National New Haven bank and was the son of Robert L Couch, the cashier of the same bank, and one of New Ha- ven's prominent citizens
 The deceased was twenty-six years of age and about month ago was talk en seriously i'll with the disease that later developed into typhoid fever. He did not seem to improve any and de- spite the best medical care lie died yes- terday.
 Three days after MT Couch was talk en with typhoid his wife became III with the same disease. They were at tended by Dr. Futile of Whalley ave- nue, and have been in the same house, but unable, of course, to see each other.
 The husband died not having seen his wife for nearly month, and when the news of his death was told to Mrs Couch the terrible shock almost killed her. The attending physician said last night that while Mrs. Couch Is danger ously i'll he believed that she would slowly recover, notwithstanding the fact that the news of her husbands death caused her to have set back that would ordinarily prove fatal. Dr. Futile said that she took the news With great courage considering the circum- stances. Her fever has not yet left her but If she does not have relapse With in the next few days her recovery will be but matter of time.
 Luther B. Couch was one of the most respected of the younger men in New Haven,s and his death will be a severe shock to all those who knew him. He has been teller of the National New Haven bank for the last three years, and previous to his becoming teller ne was employed as an assistant. in the bank An official of the bank last night in speaking of MT. Couch said:%He was of excellent character, f1rstYrate ac- countant and was bright and reliable man." He was a member of Trinity M. F. church and leaves no children. Ow- ing to the extreme illness Of his wire the funeral will be private.

YESTERDAYS Y. M. c. A. MEETING
Addressed Yesterday by Rev. Frank H.
 RalI

Rall,
 The regular meeting for men was held at the rooms of the Young Mems Chris tian association yesterday afternoon and although the pleasant weather kept many out of doors about one hundred men attended the interesting service. Besides the usual orchestral music and chorus singing Carl A. Mears sang to the delight and profit of all lover the Line" and "Flee as a Bird"
 The Rev. H. Frank Rall, Ph. D., pas tor of the Trinity Methodist church, de- livered a strong address on 'Independ- ence" as shown so grandly in the life of Saint Paul. Paul possessed the best of education, came from a good family, before him were splendid prospects for advancement and his opportunities for success, as the world regards success, were unparalleled. How intoxicating to Paul as a young man must have been his realization of the power he could wield when he awaked to the possibil- ities within him, but after his experi- ence and heavenly vision near Damas- GUS he turned right about and led an unpopular life, but he learned that he must stand alone with his God and go forward Look at him at Antioch as he starts out on his first missionary Journey. See him crossing the Aegean water in response to the call come over into Macedonia and help us.' Whether he stood before Phillosiphus, as he did in Athens, or before judges or Caesars we see in Paul man who knew how to stand alone. Was there ever man who amounted to anything that did not know how to tsand alone? Look at Knox before that queen rebuking her for her sins, but Scotland through him was saved. See General Grant stand ing alone resolving to fight it out on this line if it takes all summer !. Independence is needed not only by great men of the earth but by every man. Down in our natures is written that word Independence Some time or other the thought comes to a man that he must stand alone in this world. When life is nearing it's end, and the drama of life has been played he goes back to God that gave life and he goes alone. Every man has an idea of what he should be but he goes out into the every day business life and he finds it hard to stand for those principles which are to be followed if he would reach his ideal. May God give us strength to de- eide for the right and enable us to stand for Christian principles even though we stand as Paul stood, alone"
