table ware is made In these places the
company employs between 300and 400 people
This property will perhaps largely fall into
the hands of the stirpicultural children, as
the young of the community are known,
who, if they fulfill the theory under which
they were admitted into the world, will be
nearer physical and moral perfection than
their fathers and mothers; it is quite likely
that being wealthy they will partake of some
of that imperfection which is supposed to be-
long to degenerate sons of wealthy sires.
THE BURT CASE.
The father of the plaintiff in the suit re-
Gently brought against the company decided
his farm to the Oneida community forty
years ago and became a member The son was
a member till he was 40 years old. He was
sent to Yale college and afterwards put in
charge of the mechanical department of the
community, and at last superintended the
sale of canned goods. He also handled canned
goods in Buffalo. the understanding being
that he should give the company's goods the
preference. While thus engaged his health
gave out and he was directed by his physi-
clan to leave the institution for a while in
order to recruit During the leave of alb
sence it is said that he continued to sell
canned goods, depositing the funds received
in the community's bank at Oneida. At this
time he was expelled from the community
without compensation for his interest.
1t was in 1881 that the company was in
corporated. Before this the property was
held in trust by few leaders, who managed
it for the benefit of all. On the incorpora-
ton the property was transferred to the in
corporators. The questions arising in the
present suit are: Did the original members of
the society, TO whom the real estate was
decided, own it in fee simple or in trust for
all the members? Did the original members
have the right to transfer it to the incorpo-
rators2 Had the old community right to
expel the plaintiff! If they could expel him
socially could they deprive him of his inter
est! The point claimed by the company is
that the property was held in trust for the
society, and that individual members were
only entitled to their board and clothing
while they were members.

and was present at one of the analyses, the
criticisms offered were very severe, and
showed close study of character. 1t was the
duty of the individuals criticised to listen in
silence. The next day, however, written
answer to the structures passed and an apol-
ogy for any i'll doing if the same was clearly
shown were in order.
And the institution was success after a
certain fashion. The community made
money, its members became popular with
such of the outside world as they CHANGED to
meet, and there were many more applications
for membership than could be favorably
acted upon.
THE BEGINNING OF THE END.
After awhile there arose one Mears, min
ister of the gospel, who preached against free
love and the Oneida community. He got up
petition to the legislature to have the COM
munity abolished. The members seeing that
what they considered the enemy of happi-
ness, marriage was about to be forced upon
them, abandoned the original idea under
which they were organized and at the same
time yielded to taste for wealth. Soon a
joint stock company was organized with
view to working the property to the best adj
vantage in pecuniary point of view. Thus
came about a practical end TO an ideal be-
ginning From Perfectionists the society be-
came the Oneida Community, Limited.
As an indication of sincerity in the leader
it may be said that the failure of his expert
ment nearly broke his heart. With small
band of those who still adhered to the orig
inal doctrine, he removed to Niagara Falls,
Ont, where he died in 1886
The Oneida community, limited, has 250
stockholders, with a capital of 100000 and a
handsome surplus. There is a canning estab-
ishment for the putting up of fruit and vege-
tables, for the cultivation of which there are
600 acres of land, though the company buys
some of the fruit canned, There is also silk
factory in which 100 hands are always en-
gagged in making machine twist and sewing
silk. Another mandatory is one for max
ing steel traps, and there rat traps are now
manufactured to fill the pockets of the former
Perfectionists. Besides the manufactures at
Oneida there is one at Niagara Falls where

GATHERING HIS "FAM1LY."

GATHERING HIS FAMILY"
At Noyes' birthplace Putney, Vt, he gath
cred his first ''Bible family" 1t consisted of
his wife, his mother, his brother and his sis
Ter. Beside these there were a few preach
ers and farmers wives and daughters, all of
whom went to live in the same house at Put
ney. They at once commenced a life which
for daring and originality exceeded any ex-
pertinent ever before tried. Noyes' funda-
mental theory was that the second coming of
Christ had taken place about A D. 20, and
that since then the religious and civil law was
done away with, and control was simply
spiritual They stopped all religious service,
all observance of the Sabbath, broke up
family ties and established Stree love" or
common marriage" All property was made
common, while their allegiance TO the gov
ernmentof the United States was pronounced
at an end
The inhabitants of Putney, shocked at the
practices of these people, set their faces
against the Perfectionists, and raised such
breeze that the marriage hating band got up,
and shaking the Putney dust from their feet
left the imperfect Putneyites in their matri-
nnonial delusion and sought another home
ESTABLISHED on ONEIDA CREEK
In 1S49 Noyes and his flock, consisting of
acres in the Oneida valley went there to set
tie and live in accordance with their theories
In two years they mustered POS souls, and
became known as the Oneida community.
I'm 1867 they had increased to 300.
Mr. Noyes was a tall, pale man, with sandy
hair and beard, gray, dreamy eyes and fine
forehead He succeeded in interesting a num-
Der of prominent men of the time especially
those of a theoretic turn of mind, in his ex-
pertinent. Horace Greeley declared that
Oneida communism would be found to be
financial success. This was indeed the only
success in store for it. The community built
n large mansion on piece of rising ground
which commanded some pretty views. This
edifiee was designed and built by James
Hamilton, a New England farmer, who
claimed that everything in it from the posi-
ton of the fireplaces to the furnishing of the
library was the result of a special sign from
heaven. In the center of the mansion great
room, called ''family hall" was designed to
serve for q chapel, a theatre, a concert room,
a casino and working place all in one.
