Oil Men.

The editor of the Philadelphia
reflections while sitting in the DSla
meter headquarters at Harrisburg
and watching the oil men who had
been summoned thither to take a
hand in Republican politics. No one
understands better the power which
they can use, ii we'll directed, than
the energetic young Senator from
Crawford. There Is more money
represented bv the men IN this room, "
said one of Delameter's assistants,
.'than there is tonight in all the
other rooms of the Lochiel Hotel
together. This was no exaggeration.
Yet most OF these men are but little
known outside of their own localities.
In fact some of them have become
rich men so quickly that they are not
yet accustomed to the transformation
from poverty to opulence.
Yes, said my informant, "a good
many of our millIonaires are as plain
in their ways and dress as the men
who work for them at two dollars a
day. Ten years ago the income of
most of them WAS not greater than
that. Take Senator Lewis Emery.
He has made his fortune of two
million dollars since 1879. William
Phillips, of Newcastle, who is now
worth four millions. has accumulated
his money within the same period.
J. I. Carter, of Iitusville, who few
years ago was struggling along to
get his living as a tailor, has made
nearly a million of dollars David
Kirk, of Bradford, Is another million
aire who dates his prosperity to the
same time Nandegrift, of Pitts
burgh, has probably taken five mil
lions of dollars out of the oil fi.li
since the year 1850. Mitchell, of
Franklin, can count up a million dol
lars. Boultou, of Allegheny, has
made twice as much IN the last ten
years John B. Smithmore; of Oil
City, Is a millionaire, and the same
can probably be sand of John Zane,
of Bradford Ex-Mayor Perrin, of
Titusville, is high mp on the list.
John Mckeon, of the same place, is
one of the richest of the oil magnates,
vet working hard, by day and night,
IN clothes no better than those OF
his workmcn. Some of them remem-
Der when he toiled as hard as any Of
them, and now the general estimate
of his wealth fixes it at four millions
Hulings, of Oil City, who is an old
man, has made and lost his millions
time and again. In fact, there is not
much respect for the oil producer
who Is not a millionaire. Men who
have made from one hundred thousand
t. FIVE hundred thousand in from one
to FIVE years, are so numerous that
they are hardly worth mentioning.

Queer Case.

A Washington dispatch says: Up
in the wilds of Northern Minnesota,
lives a veteran of the war Of 1872. He
fought through that campaign like a
true American citizen, and though
now ninety-seven years old, has been
able to take care of himself. When
sixty-nine wears of age, so gret was the
vigor of old John Chase, then of U tica,
n. Y, that he gathered his worldly
possessions and started for the West
10 grow up with the country. For
while be prospered fairly, but now he
finds himself compelled to ask the Gov
ernment that he so valiantly defended
IN the days of his youth TO make some
modest provision for bis declining
years.
a lew months ago he applied to the
Commissioner of Pensions for the an
nulty paid to all survivors of the war
of 1872 The application vas referred
to the War Department for an exami
ration of the records. Shortly after
the white haired veteran was astonish-
ed to receive notice that no pension
could be granted TO him for the reason
that he rested under a charge Of deser.
tiou. Inquiry developed the fact that
Chase was a member Of Capt. Seth
Langdou!s company, of the New York
State MilItis, garrisoned during the
latter part of 1914 near Niagara Falls.
The war was practically over early in
October, and on the oath of thai
month Chase and forty-fivs of his CON-
rades, believing that If the trouble was
not past it ought TO be, shouldered
their muskets and tramped off home
leaving Captain Langdon, Lieutenant
and four men in charge of the post.
Hostihties formally ceased NGvem'
Der /, 1914, six days later, but IN th'
mean time Chase and his companion:
in arms had beer reported as having
left the post. They were accordingl!
recorded as deserters. For seventy
four years John Chase has rested un
der this stigma and did not know ii
He only finds it out when he asks 70
a pension, which the special act of Con
gress to remove the charge to-day iu
troduced in the House will speedil
bring him.

CHICAGO, May 25.-A despatch from

"A SPECIAL despatch from Findlay,
Ohio, says A strange spectacle was
visible in the northern sky here last
night shortly after IL o'clock, which
has caused the greatest consterna-
ton among the people. 1t was the
representation of human hand Of
immense proportions, sweinspring
in its realistic yividness- Early in
the evening the sky in the north had
peculiar appearance, which, as the
night wore or, took the form OF
flashes of light constantly changing
in color, pulsing mp from the hori
zon and again subsiding, but with
each appearance becoming more
brilliant and unnatural. This con
tinuod until about eleven o'clock
when those watching the phenomena
were terrified to see these plumes Ot
light concentrating into distinct ob
iect, which soon assumed the proper
tions of giant hand, well formed
and as distinct as if painted upon the
back ground of the sky. The hanC
appeared to be a shadowy substance
through which waves of light of (
blood red color surged as regularl.
as heart beats in a human breast an,
then fell off at the end of the finger
in drops Of the same color. almost a
large as hot air balloons The firs
finger Of the hand pointed down to
ward the sleeping city as If warniu
the people of some woe about to ia
upon them. The spectacle lasted fo
about an hour and was witnessed b
hundre Is, who were breathless Wit
suppressed excitement until slowly
began to Jade away and finally dis
appeared altogether. 1t was one {
th' strangest and yet most imprel
i've exhibitions of nature ever wi
messed and speculation regarding i
cause and significance will not aba
for many a day"
