A Socialist Conmunit,

A Socialist Community Dying Out
Probably the nearess approach to the
ideal existence of Sleepy Hollow, as described
by Washington Irving, is attained by the
Economic or Harmony Society at their
village in Beaver County. The community
forms one large family, whose wants are all
provided for by the patriarchal heads,
Messrs. Henrici and Lenz; and all the nee
essaries of life in the form of food, clothing,
fuel, light, etc., are dealt out with a liberal
heDd. Money is no OF ject to them as indi-
viduals, but there is in the common treasury
at all times very large amount. II is proba-
BILE that some of them do not possess dollar
once year, and yet are far more hap
ny and conlented than If struggling In the
on er world for wealth or bare subsistence.
While they possess many skilled artisans
and handicraft men their work is chiefly pas
toral, and as peaceful and uDeventfu as 1t is
possible to conceive While In this society
the principle Of communism rules, 1t Is of a
far different kind from that advocated by
The foreign blatherskites who faunt the red
flag and cry, "Down with the ricn," 10 our
Eastern cities. The Economics hold their
property in common, it is true; but they
earn it before they hold it, and are scrupu-
lous in their honesty and regard Tor the
rights of others. Such societies would he a
benefit to the country in some respects, as
they are peaceful, industrious and frugal,
and great creators of wealib. Unfortunate
", however, this only one Of the kind will
soon become thing of the past, ss it re-

Railroads and Canals in Greece.

Railroads and Canals in Greece.
There are four roads which are now oper-
atiUg in Greece on more or less extensive
scale. The pioneer line, from Pirmus to
Athens via Phaeron. was constructed by an
English company in 1869, but has long since
passed over into the hands Of the Greeks. It
pays 19 per cent, the passenger traffic being
the source of income. The road is but six
miles long. Eighty trains pass over the
line daily between a. m. and midnight
forty each way. 1t is built on the siaodard
European and American gauge Of "four feet
eight and half" All the other roads are
built on the French meter gauge (three feet
three inches and three-eighthsl and all the
projects contemplate the French gauge,
which is doubtless best for Greece on ac-
count of the light traffic and mountainous
nature of the country. There Is no move to
extend this line. The next line In impor-
tance is one partially completed, the terUini
Of which are Piraus on the east ana Patros
on the west, by way of Corinth. 1t is worthy
of note that a canal is now being construct
ed across the slender Corinthian isIhmus. In
two years. when 1t will probably be done,
Greece will find herself halved, and AtheLs
will wake up to discover that she is on the
highway of the commerce between Italy
with the countries behind it) and all parts
of the Ottoman empire. The most am lI-
tious of new projects is railroad from Ath-
Ems to Lamia, near the head of the gulf of
Talanta. and ultimately ON to Salonika. II
successful this will be the line which will
unite Greece with her more powerful Euro
pean neighbors. Another projected road
will mass near PenteicOn and the other IA
nous mountains OF marble. Doubtless the
company have it In mind to put In spurs 10
the quarries. A railroad would not only
cheaper the price for Atheuians, but also
put the marble into the worlds market, by
making it accessible to marit me commerce.

SOUTH AMERICAN COMMERCE
WiIIis Bartlett Before the COmmissiOn-
The E-tabI'shment of Steamship Lines
Advocated.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 21.-Several prominent
business men appeared before the committee
on South American commerce today, among
them Mr.. Willis Bartlett, who is connected
with cotton manufacturers in New England
His idea was that the government should ad-
vertise for proposals to establish steamship
lines and act 10 some way az a commercial
house. Naval vessels should be stationed in
South American ports to protect consuls in
the discharge of their commercial and other
duties. Print cloths, he declared, could be
made in this country, shipped to England,
thence to Spain, and finally to South America
cheaper than they can be made in England
and sent to South America direct. Ii they
could be forwarded directly to South America
from the United States the cost would, OF
course, be much lower Establish these di-
rect lines" he continued, land there will
then be way of going and returning and the
classes OF sslabls goods will soon be ascer-
tained." He thought the government should
have the steamers even if the only national
duty they did was to take out empty mail
bags.
