Melvin H. Couch. Noted Monti- cello Lawyer, Led Dual Life.
DISCLOSED BY HIS DEATH
None of Townsfoik Knew of the Wom' an, Who Left Little Room Only at Niqht-Lawyer Pleaded Lame
 ness as an Excuse.

Monticello, N. "A grim jest that Melvin H. Couch, former District At torney of Sullivan county, and friend of Ben jamin B. Odell, former Governor and Alton B. Parker, played on his friends for three years came to light after his sudden death.
 The breaking of a blood vessel kill ed him and sent a middle-aged woman. gray-haired and unprepossessing, whom he had hidden in rear room in his office in the Masonic building ever since 1910, screaming and moaning from her strange shelter to seek doe tors aid.
 Not a person in Monticello has all inkling that Couch was leading this double life, although many were aware that he was separated from his wife. The meeting of Mrs Couch and tie gray-haired woman, Adelaide NJ. Branch of Middletowu, in the office where the lawyer had laid the scene for a drama almost melodramatie in it's boldness, was one that residents of this town will remember for many years to come. The wife had seen her husband seldom in the last three years, but the neighbors recalled that Couch used to go home to Sunday dinner.
 The lawyer was 65 years of age. He was a power in Sullivan county. When Odell was Governor, Couch en- joyed his friendship and confidence and became Republican leader in the county. Before that he had been on friendly terms with Parker whom he met outside of business and politics.
 On two occasions Couch ran for District Attorney and won out, having established a reputation for square dealing and brains. Twice he was defeated when he was nominated for County Judge.
 In strange contrast 10 this figure, masterfuI and ambitious, was the woman he had chosen as his com panion and sheltered in little room back of his office. Fifteen years ago she visited Monticello. She had little money and found a threadbare living selling books. Some one in the town recalled that she peddled "The Life of Dewey" among other volumes Those who saw. her summed her up as | a drab personality.
 District Att-rney George L. Cooke who had offices some time ago in the same building as Couch, recalled that he often used to hear type writer going all hours of the day and n;ght Sundays included. He took 1t for granted Couch was working there. He and other friends of the dead law var also remembered they never got into couch's office without waiting several minutes. They invariably found the door locked.

BOARD OF FINANCE CHOSEN
Act of Legislature Creating Board ot Estimate Approved in Special Elec- ton by Vote of 113 to To-
 Composed of Six Men

Guilford.-The electors of Guilford in special election by vote of 1l3 to 10, approved the act of the Legis- lature creating a Board of Estimate and Apportionment for the town. and in a subsequent town meeting author ized the same body to act as Board of Finance for the town. The board thus constituted is composed of the following six men, who were elected over their opponents to serve the time signified after their names: A. Minor l1.eete, Democratic nominee one year. e. W. Seward, Republican, one year; lR. H. Norton, on three tickets, two wears; George P. Rolf, Republican, three years; s. c. Spencer on the Democratic and Prohibition ticket, two years; Frank c. Spencer, Democrat, three years. The business meeting voted to sustain the original vote or the annual town meeting in October in making the tax rate b mills Tor 1914. This vote had been subsequent ly rescinded by a special meeting. pht when the special committee appointed at that time to bring budget CT the towns expenses made their report that nothing short of a l5-miH tax could possibly cover the expenses the meeting voted to lay the 15-mill tax, although unanimously. It was pointed out that next year when the expenses for the maintenance of the schools would be less and some permanent improvements paid for, it might be possible to bring tax down to 1S mills.

The Marvels Of
The Newspaper

What a wonderful work is a
newspaper work of art and
science! Six ages have not been
enough to complete the Cathedral
at Cologne, and one day suffices to
finish the immense labor of news
paper. We are unable to measure
the degrees Of life, Of light, Of pro-
gress that are to be found in each
leaf Of progress that are to be
found in each leaf Of the immortal
book which forms the press. We
find in a journal everything, from
the notices relating to the most OBJ
scure individuals, to the speech
which is delivered from the highest
tribunal, and which affects all in
telligence; from the passing
thought excited by the account of
a ball, to the criticism of those
works Of art destined to immortal
ity. This marvellous sheet is the
encyclopedia Of our time; an en-
cyclopedia which necessitates an
incalculable knowledge know
ledge whose power our generation
cannot deny-a knowledge which
is the condensation Of the learning
of a century.

the board may be obtained by any
farmer desiring it by applying 10
his veterinarian who will procure
the serum free of charge from the
board.
A number of cases Of hog cholera
have been reported to the board.
To fight this particular disease the
board has supplied itself with a
quantity of hog cholera serum,
which costs $148 gallon. This IS
furnished to veterinarians free so
that the farmers whose cattle they
treat may be relieved of this cost.
Black leg, disease which IS pc
culiar to young cattle, has also
made some inroads. One farmer,
whose name cannot be given out at
this time, has lost nine OF eleven OF
his young cattle from the disease.
His cattle are now under quaran-
tine. For this disease, also, the
board is willing to supply all whom
they can with black leg serum while
funds remain, through the veterln-
arians engaged by the applicants.
This disease is very quick in its ac-
ton. Cattle in many cases die
few days after taken with it. 1t
caught in time the disease can be
prevented from causing death, but
the remedy must be applied promp-
tly. Cattle under six months and
over two years old are not usually
subject to black leg. Horses and
mules also seem to be proof from 1t.
This disease cannot be transmitted
to persons, either, as is the case
with anthrax.
Black leg may be detected by
passing the hand over the cattle.
If affected a cort of cracking feel
ing under the skin of the cattle can
be detected. The part of the cat
tie affected is very sensitive to
pressure.
The board is also receiving a
number of reports of chestnut
blight in many vicinities surround
ing Wilmington, particularly in
Brandywine hundred and Della
ware county, Pa. The blight is
more easily detected at this time of
the year, when the leaves are still

hearing the buzzing Of the queen
bee. My weeds and wild flowers
keep me from hearing the worries
that would otherwise upset my
nerves and temper. They can t
settle, you see!''
That was sound philosophy. By
the time you have reached the top
of the hill, you ought not to hear
the buzzing of the petty cares, for
you know then how contemplate
they are in themselves, and how
slight and temporary will be their
effect upon you.
We hear daily of men and wo-
men who are working themselves
to death. - But work is as surely
the friend of man as worry is his
deadliest foe. Unless carking care
and sickening foreboding are blent
with labor, work never kills. Yet
worry Stays it's tens and hundreds
Of thousands every year.
The person who wishes to live
long and benefcently should cult
vate the desire to see others as COM
Portable as he wishes to be himself.
He must not regret that others are
better off in what makes living
pleasant.
Here is a fact that some so-called
philanthropists never learn: there
lives not the human creature who
is wholly uninteresting. Be on the
alert to espy something in those
whom you meet that will commend
them to your regard. Listlessness
and the capacity for being bored
bring more old people to the grave
than disease or actual sorrow. If
you have no other "job" in life,
make one by forcing yourself to be
interested in the welfare of your
associates.

of the Cup" by Marion Har-

APPROPRIATE SERVICES
MARK ANNIVERSARY

The 20Sth anniversary Of old st.
Anne's P e. Church, near Middle
town, on last Sunday was an event
filled with interest for all who ap-
preciate the old land marks of the
commonwealth.
The service, which was largely
attended began at 1890 in the
morning. The sermon was preach
ed by the Rt. Rev. Lewis w. Bur-
ton, bishop Of the Diocese of Lex
ington, Ky. Bishop Frederick j.
Kinsman of Delaware was also pre-
sent and assisted in the service.
Rev. Percy L. Donaghy, rector,
also officiated. Special music was
furnished by st. Anne's choir.
Old st. Anne's is one of the old
est of the very old churches of the
state. It's 200th anniversary was
celebrated in 1905, during the pas
torate Of the Rev. w. j. Wilkie,
now of Stamford, N. Y, making
this year the 20Sth anniversary. 1t
has been generally agreed that l7O5
should be assigned as the birth year
of the parish, while there We're par
ishes existing not far away in
Maryland. What led to the move
ment in 1705 is not known, but it
is hard not to connect it with the
memorable journey of George
Kieth, the pioneer missionary of
the S. P. G. Kieth journeyed from
New England to North Carolina,
about 800 miles, to ascertain the
spiritual conditions of the colon
lists. 1t is probable that Mr.. Kieth
visited st. Anne's, as it is known
that he was in New Castle in 1703.
The first structure was Of wood,
and built before the people had any
settled minister, but very early
they applied for missionary for
themselves; and the Rev. Mr.. Jen-

kins was sent to them from Eng
land. This pastor gathered togeth-
er congregation of 200 persons.
In the early days Of Mr.. Jenkins
ministry, Queen Anne expressed
her interest in the parish by send
ing an embroidered altar cloth, a
portion of which, bearing her in
itials, A. r., is still preserved.
Different pastors were stationed
here until 1746, when the Rev.
Philip Reading came from Eng
land and began pastorate, which
lasted thirty years. At the break
ing out Of the Revolution, Mr..
Reading, who was a staunch royal
ist, refused to read the service with
out including the prayers for the
king, and was obliged to desist from
his ministrations. He died in 177S
and was buried near the door Of the
church
The Rev. John Coleman, father
Of the late Bishop Coleman, was
rector of the church in 1885.
On May 19, 1S47, a committee,
consisting of Richard G. Lockwood
Captain John H. Smith and George
Derrickson, was appointed to con-
slider the propriety of making ex-
tensive alterations in the interior
of the church. Sixthy-three square
perchcs Of land were presented to
the parish by John Smith, a rec
tory was built and furniture for
the latter was bequeathed to the
vestry by Mrs. Natalie Green.
The new st. Anne's Church with
in the town limits was built in 1892
and on April 4 was consecrated by
the bishop of the diocese The new
church is used for all the services
except the annual anniversary
meeting, which is held at the old
church.
