DIR. MILBURN's RESIGNATION.
Senate May Choose Rev. DR.. Couden
as Chaplain


Much interest is felt as to the probable
successor Of DR.. William H. MiIburn, the
aged chaplain of the United States Senate,
since his resignation Is now an assured
fact. Owing to his age and state of health
he will remain in California this winter,
ard successor will be elected at the open
Ing Of the session. There will no doubt be
many candidates. many of them worthy Of
considerat ton. but II is understood that DIR.
Milburn's own wish is to see the present
chaplain of the House of Representatives,
DR.. Henry Noble Couden, succeed him. DR..
COuden's application will be one of the
strongest before the Senate and his past
faithful and satisfactory service in the
House will be very much in his favor
Even should the issue depend upon politi-
cal influence, he seems worthy of consider
alton from both parties. He was born in
Indiana, reared In Cincinnati, and from
that city enlisted at an early age with the
9Th Ohio for active service. After partici-
pating in many important engagements,
among which was the famous battle of Shi-
lob, he was transferred 10 the Mississippi
Marine Brigade, and while in its service
during the siege Of Vicksburg lost the sight
of both eyes by a shot from the enemys
fire. Undaunted by such disaster he be-
gan 10 study for the ministry. and with
patient and hard work took his degree at
the st. Lawrence University, New York
Since that time DR.. Couden has accepta-
pay AIIeN pdSlOrdleS III the states OF New
York. Ohio, Massachusetts and Michigan.
He was elected chaplain Of the House of
Representatives by the 54th Congress and
has been reelected without opposition
three times. He has also been chaplain in
past years of the Department OF the Grand
Army Of the Republic of Michigan and
chaplain-in-chlef Of the Union Veteran Lee
gion. He Is also a Mason and has possibly
the distinction OF being the only blind man
ever raised to the sublime degree Of that
order. He is much loved in the House and
u perhaps the most acceptable man for
the vacancy in the Senate who could be
found.

Johann Baptist MatZenauer, who
died in extreme old age at Appenzell
the other day, was tae last man in
Switzerland who had to undergo the
horrible process of examination by
torture In the early '4Os of the last
century he was accused of murder
by his neighbor, Anna Koch. The cir
cumstantial evidence against him
seemed to be complete; but as he re-
fused to confess he was subjected to
the brutal "neckscrew," which was at
that time still used in the criminal
procedure of AppenzellInnerRh Rhoden,
though it had been abolished by the
Ausser-Rhoden. Under all his agony,
however, Matzenauer persisted in the
assertion OF his innocence A few
years later Anna Koch confessed her
self to be guilty of the murder, and
sne was executed in 1919. The unjust
sufferings Of Matzenauer brought
about the disestablishment of the
