ANTONiANs IN AMERICA.

Ascot of Swiss Whose Followers Do Not
Believe In Marriage.
A proceeding in a Justices court re-
Gently brought out the fact that there
is in this city a colony of theAntonians,
a sect that do not believe in marriage.
Husbands and wives are allowed to
discard each other whenever they con-
ceive a stronger passion for some one
else. There is no form of marriage
ceremony.
The case in hand was that of Fred
erick Lehman, who was arrested on
the complaint of Wilhelmina Lebereis.
with whom he has lived for three years
under the Antonian code, and who now
seeks to compel him to support their
child. he having put her away for an
other woman. Lehman admitted the
paternity of the child. but said that he
recognized no law but the law of love,
and as he did not love the woman any
longer he did not care to live with her.
He was required to provide for the
child.
The families composing the Antonian
community are all Swiss. When a
death occurs the funeral expenses are
paid by the entire sect, and when a
birth occurs each family is assessed
ten dollars. The complainant in this
case asserts that her husband solicited
her to take up with a cheese dealer
from New York named Paten. but she
refused to do so. The Antonians hold
services of a religious nature on Sum
day afternoon. led by Patriarch Jacob
Zurib. Lehman came to this countra
about ten years ago. and before tina.
lived with the daughter of Benedict
Schari, the leader of the sect.
The Antonians originated in the
canton of Berne. Switzerland. I'M
der the leadership of Anton Inter
naehrer., who died in Jail in Lucerne
in 1924. He was educated in the Ro-
man Catholic Church. but apostatized
| and became quack doctor. In 1900
he began to preach. In 1902. at
Berne. he announced himself as the
Son of God. He was followed by a
crowd of adherents and created great
tumult. for which he was imprisoned
for two years. When discharged from
prison in 1904 he resumed preaching.
and created riots for which he was
kept under arrest in Lucerne for five
years. In 1920 he was permanently
condemned to Jail. He published a
number of pamphlets expounding his
| views. He taught that the primitive
| law between God and man consisted of
two propositions. one to love and null.
ltiply and the other not to eat of the
tree of knowledge. The violation Of
the second, he held, was Satanic in
origin and constitutes the true curse
of mankind. From this curse he
taught there is only one escape, and
that by observing the first command.
to love and multiply. Hence there
| would be no such restraint as mar
rage. The sect spread through
various parts of Switzerland from 1921
to 1910, under various leaders. and
severe measures were necessary to
suppress its excuses. -SVraouse On

Flying Un der water.

One of the most water loving
birds is a dainty little songster be-
longing to the thrush family, and
populary known as the water-ousel,
or dipper. This pretty little bird is
found in most parts of the world,
and likes best the neighborhood of
these merry mountain streams
which rush boisterously on to their
fate, now leaping headlong over
some high rock, now swirling in
some deep pool, and now eddying,
dancing, splashing down steep in
cline. Waterfall, pool, and eddy
ing stream are alike to the water
ousel, which will dash into one or
the other with the same ready con-
fidance as the ordinary into the air.
In winter, when its watery home
is frozen over, it will seek other and
milder parts, unless it can be sure
OF finding holes in the ice, in which
case it will not hesitate to remain at
home, for it will plunge through a
hole into the icy water with no care
at all for temperature, and having
made its venture successful by the
capture of a small fish, will return
to the air once more.
So fond is it of the water that it
will build its nest as near as possi-
BILE, and one instance is recorded of
pair which actually built behind a
waterfall, taking advantage of the
space made by the shoot of the
water over the top of the rock.
Although the ousel uses its feet
while swimming, its progress is
progress is chiefly due to its wings,
which are moved exactly as if flying
in the air. The wings are admirably
; ly adapted to this use, being almost
! as broad as long, and of compare
lively great power. The tail is very
: short, and the body is covered with
soft thick down, which, as in the
true aquatic birds, affords an i'm
pervious shield against the water.
Like all other birds which eithel
casually or habitually resort to thu
water, the ousel seems TO regarC
hat element as its safest retreat il
time of danger. Even the littl
birds which have never before ven
tured from the nest, and which arr
quite unable to fly, have beel
known, when alarmed during tn
absence of the parents, to rushs, t.
pell-mell to the nearest water
and with extraordinary faculty t
! run along the bed of the strean
many yards before seeking the all

A DETECTIVE.

AS l pinned on my new shield, on
being installed member of the de-
tective force of a young western city,
my first wish was for an opportunity
to show my superiors and the pub
lie the metal | was made of.
An occasion was not long waiting.
An adroit forgery came to light, of
which one of the city banks had
been the victim, and large reward
was offered for the capture of the
perpetrators.
Facts tended to fasten suspicion
on II young merchant who had late
ly failed under questionable circum-
stances, and whose disappearance,
shortly after the forgery, had first
led to coupling his name with the
affair.
Evidence sufficient to justify his
arrest was at length accumulated,
and orders were given by our chief
for his apprehension on sight

THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. LETTERS
Julian Hawthorne and Gail Hamilton
the Authors.

New YORK, July s.-The Commercial Adoer-
tiser this afternoon says: Within the past
decade there has been no event in
the American world Of letters ..whichs has
provoked such wide comment and
excited 80 large a measure Of curiosity as the
publication in the North american Reuieco Of a
series of letters to prominent persons under
the non de plume Of Arthur Richmond. !"
The two distinctive characteristics
Of the letters were the extreme
bitterness of personal and partisan feeling
which they betrayed, and the marked excel
lence and vigor of their literary form. Shortly
after the recent death Of Mr.. Allen Thorn
dyke Rice an attempt was made to
establish conclusively and permanently the
fact that he was NOT only responsible for their
publication, but that he had written the Ar
thur Richmond letters.
After the attempt was made Mr.. Rice's class
friends thought that the real authors should
come forward and assume the responsibility
for the letters, but as they have not done so
the veil Of mystery has been lifted. We
have it on unimpeachable authority in
fact from the mouth of gentleman
who was a close personal friend Of Mr. Rice,
and had opportunities to see the manuscripts
that this series Of letters was written by Julian
Hawthorne and by Gail Hamilton
