Tramps Mjuratinu.

There has been a marked diminu-

of the road manage to make annual
trips to the Pacific coast; only they
do not travel quite as fast as their
more fortunate brothers. They are

Denies stories About Control.

II. y, Kenna, first vice president OF
the Santa Fee railway. has not retired
from the company. as a stated In
The Optic a few days ago, but he did
resign the office Of general solicitor
in order 10 give more time TO private
affairs. Mr.. Kenna denies in a recent
interview that the Observation-Disclosures
crowd have in any way secured con-
troll OF the Santa Fe. They bought
their stock AS an investment during
the depression of 1898 and they asked
for representation on the hoard. AND
it was accorded them, The two
places were about what they could
have obtained had they gathered in
proxies and made a fight for them.
He denied that the Union Pacific
or the Kansas Pacific have. or are
likely to gain control Of the Santa
Fe. The Standard Oil men control
only about fifteen per cent OF the
outstanding stock. Fifteen per cent
of the stock is held in Europe. and
the remainder In This country. Forty
per Cent of the stockholders live IN
New England. The bonds of the com
pany are held in about the same way
as the stock, and there are some so

Unusual Provisions.

The will of r. D. Fonda was offered
for probate yesterday. 1t provided
that Mr.. Fonda's body "be subjected
to such tests as science and medical
knowledge have proven to be most
effectual in determining life to be ex-
tinct, but not such tests as would ex-
tinguish any spark Of life that might
still remain in the body, and that the
body shall not be buried until it is alb
solutely certain that no life exists
therein, and under no circumstances
nor for any pretext whatever, even
though it be in the interest of science,
shall an autopsy be performed; non
shall it be placed on ice nor embalmed,
/ and the greatest care and precaution
shall be taken to prevent it from be-
ing stolen for the purpose OF dissec-
tion The physical condition of the
deceased caused his complexion TO be
a distinct yellow and he probably
thought that the unusual provision
was necessary in his case.

A Road Purchase ana its Perplextties.
The Freeholders are having trials
and troubles and great fluctuations of
spirit over grading the Pequannoc
township read. A strip OF land was
desired to straighten the road and the
owner agreed to give title TO it. Then
the Mutual Life Insurance Company,
which has a mortgage on the tract,
refused to release the strip but would
consent to a right of way. The road
however had been graded across the
land before the insurance people were
heard from. When grading was start
ed it was found that the adjoining
property-Owners had for years been
edging out into the road to increase
the size of gardens, etc. The contract
ors in some places found barely room
enough for the graded width of the
road, and when the potato patches
were cut into the tillers set up a howl
which extended to Morristown at the
Board meeting on Wednesday Engin-
eer King went to the scene on Thurs:
day and ordered fences pulled up, trees
cut down and other changes made to
restore the road to its proper width.

OBITUARY.
JOHN L. KANoUsE.

Although OF ripe years, the condi-
tion Of Mr.. Kanouse's health was such
as to lead the people Of Boonton and
vicinity to believe that he would live
for some time, possibly reaching the
century mark, and therefore his death
on Saturday night came as a surprise.
Mr.. Kanouse was ninety-four years
old last January. He was born in
Boonton in 1911. a short distance from
the home where he spent his entire
life. On account of his old age, he
and bis wife for the past four years
made their home with their son-in-
law, DR.. John L. Taylor. Mr.. Kan
ouse was engaged in business for thir-
ty-eight years, was elected member
of the Legislature in 1S49 and again
in 1851. For sixteen years he was SUI
perintendent of the Pequannock
Township public schools. For three
years he was director of the Morris
County Board of Freeholders, and in
1872 he was elected associate judge of
Morris County, which Office he held
for five years. He also served in a
number of offices in Boonton Town
ship, the last one being that of collec-
tor. He served in the latter position
until he was nearly ninety years old.
The Judge" as he was generally
called, was Wing, and his first vote
was for Henry Clay, in 1882.

PRESIDENT RoosEvENT made two
notable speeches last week the first,
to the miners of Pennsylvania, in
which he sets forth the advantages of
temperance and the need OF equal adj
vantages for all. On Friday, at Chau-
tauqua before 10000 people, the Presi-
dent delivered one Of the most stirring
speeches of his career. After firmly
unfolding the Monroe Doctrine, as de-
fined by the late Secretary Of State
John Hay, he vigorously attacked the
methods Of many big trusts. He de-
clared that some great corporations
had resorted to every technical expedi-
ency to render enforcement of the law
impossible, and had taxed to the ut
most the machinery of the Depart
ment Of Justice. He said that Con-
gress might well inquire whether other
means should not be sought for carry
ing the law into effect. He asserted
that in some cases, such as that OF
some Of the beef packers recently in
dicted in Chicago, the time for leniency
had passed. He deprecated any hasty or
unreasonable legislation, but declared
emphatically that the great corpora
tions were themselves to blame If by
their opposition to what was legal and
just they fostered the popular feeling
which calls for drastic action. He be-
lieved unequiyocally that the the time
had arrived when all corporations en-
gagged in interstate commerce should
be under the supervision of the ma.
tional government. The conduct of
some of them, he declared, was men
ace to the nation. Very many of these
corporations, he said, seemed to think
that the alternative was simply be-
tween submitting to the mild Kind Of
government control advocated, and
absolute freedom to do as they thought
best. He warned them that they were
in error that either they would have
to submit to reasonable supervision or
submit to governmental action of a far
more drastic type. He declared that
the attitude of some very rich men
engaged in handling the largest cor
porations undoubtedly did harm to the
country. The Presidents speech Gre
ated profound sensation in the audi
ence. BY many it was regarded as
sounding in part the keynote of his
next message to Congress.

ONE of the curiosities Of the census
returns is the great disproportion Of
the population and the votes cast in
various parts of the State, varying
from Camden where they had one voter
to every 3.99 Of population to Passaic
where there is but one to every sos.
This is accounted for by the great
number Of foreigners employed there.
In the case of Camdensit is accounted
for by the fine political methods en-
ployed. New Brunswick shows one to
ASP, while Newark and Jersey City
show one TO $50 and SIS respectively
