A Queer Community in Pennsylvania.

Elias Spiedel, of Ohio, forme.ly a
member of the Economic Society, of
Beaver comfy, Pa, has begun suit to
recover $50, 1000, the value of his share
in the society property. If the suit is
successful it will be followed by others
of a similar character, and draw q
sum of money from the Economic So
cietys well-flled treasury. In view of
this new attempt to establish a claim
upon this curious and in some ways
Mormon-like settlement, glimpse at
its history is interesting. 1t was about
the year 1900 that George Rapp, a
farmer and vintner, who lived in the
region of Wurtemburg, Germany, be-
gan to preach in secret the gospel of
of the Second Adventists. He was a
man of great personal magnetism,
with a ready command of plausible
lies, shrewd and unscruplous; SO he
had strong influence over the ignor-
ant people whom he addressed. He
told them that in order to be saved
from eternal damnation they must
leave the established church of their
country, settle either in America or
the Holy land, and wait patiently a
few Years for the second coming of
Christ. Rapp announced himself to
be their spiritual leader with divine
authority, and ii 1906 he persuaded
125 families to sell their lands and ac-
company him to America. These
Immigrants founded the settlement of
"Harmony," near Zalienope, Butler
county, Pa. Until they reached their
destination the families had paid their
own expenses aud held on to their own
money; but they had hardly settled
down when Rapp, by lies and threaten
ed promises, persuaded them to put
the money in his hands "as was direct
ed in the fourth chapter of Acts" re-
nounce the right to form an exclusive
home for each family, and refrain from
marriage as mortal sin. He taught
that man was created physically dual,
and that the female element was taken
from him "because he envied the beasts
| which went In pairs. Therefore, ar
gued the apostle, marriage is the fruit
of Adams fall to be avoided lest ye
perish. Rapp, having succeeded in
breaking the last tie which bound
families together, set himself up as
itual king over the tribe of Harmony.
Some of the young men naturally
wanted to marry in the course of years,
and few of them, Spiedel among the
number, left the settlement at various
times, but received TO share of Its
wealth as they went Rapp mean
time had destroyed all written testi-
mony to the sums originally "laid at his
feet" by the people, and had appropri-
ated as his own $4,000 in coin.
When he died he was succeeded by
Rom elius Baker and Jacob Henrici,
who have kept up the old custom. The
society has grown smaller by death
and desertion until now only few
aged members are left, and when they
die the property which has grown to a
value of $4,000, 600, will go to the state,
unless the claims of the heirs are al
lowed by the courts.

DilatOry Lovers.

The impatience of the parents of the
young lady over the long and fruitless
visits of the chronic caller was pictured
in comic colors some years ago by
funny writer. 1t seems that is was mid
night. The young man had farewelled
himself out and Emeline had locked
the door and was untying her shoe
when her mother came downstairs
with a bedquilt around her and said:
Wanted to creep upstairs without
my hearing you, eh? Didn't think it
was an hour after midnight, did
you?'
The girl made no reply, and the
mother continued:
did he propose this timer"
"Why, mother!' exclaimed the
daughter.
You can why mother all you want
to, but don't l know that he has been
coming here for the last year? Don't
| know that you've burned up at least
four tons of coal counting around
here?"
The girl got her shoes off, and the
mother stood in the stair door and
asked:
"Emeline, have you got any grit."
Il guess so.'
Il guess you haven't. l. just wish that
fellow with false teeth and mole on
his chin would come sparkling me. Do
you know what would happen, Eme-
llne?"
mo"
well, I'll tell you. He'd come to
time in sixty days or he'd get out of
this mansion like goat jumping for
sunt1ower Seeds"
And Emeline went to bed hugging
this thought to her bosom.
Occasionally such visits become SO
burdensome that the young lady talks
to the young man herself. At least they
had such "A girl out in Colorado. She
had been receiving the attentions of a
young man for about a year, but be-
coming impatient at his failure to bring
| matters to a crisis, she resolved to as
certain his intentions. When he next
called she took him gently by the ear,
led him to seat and said:
'Nobby, you've been foolin' round
this claim for mighty near year,
an'hev never yit shot off your mouth
| on the marryin biz. Pye cott,n d to you

counted for in two ways-frst, the ap-

the schools; second, the better condi-
