Prospective Fight Over the Vast Estate
of Father Eapp's Society.

Prospective Fight Over tie Vast Est1te
of Father Eapp's Society.
1t is not improbable that a large por-
ton of the enormous wealth which the
followers Of the famous Father Rapp
have succeeded in accommodating during
the last three-quarters of a century will
be transferred from the sacred treasury
Of the society into the unsanctifled
pockets Of some of the lawyers of this
State, writes a New York World CORE
spondent. Poor Father Rapp, who left
Germany in the opening years of the
century in obedience, as he believed, to-
a call from Heaven, has long since passed
away, ana of the original members Of
the peculiar society which he founded
only four survive.
Strict cclibacy was one of the prinei-
pies of the order, and by and by the
time came when the Economics, as
they called themselves, were TOO feeble
to work and were consequently COM
PEELED to take outsiders into their en-
ployment. These newcomers have man
aged to obtain almost the entire control
of the affairs of tho order, with its
twenty or thirty millions of investments
in banks, farms and mortgages, together
with tho town lots and buildings of
Economy, which the followers of Rapp
exclusively own. Hardly any one of
these men has been connected with the
society more than ten years: The man
agement of the association is in the
hands of council Of the newcomers. s."
The council selects q trustee, and every
election leaves a great deal OF heart
burning and dissatisfaction behind it.
Tho four surviving members ofsthe
original society are all women who are
very old and feeble. Jacob Hcnrici is
the Oldest male member of the Econo-
mites, and is honored with the namc ..
Patriarch. If it were not for his efforts
the probabilities arc that the order
would have been disrupted long ago.
He is now,presilent of tho council, but

Last year a party Of twenty Dunkards
was en- route to the general conference,
via st. Louis says the Nashville Ameri-
can. No agent accompanied them, and
a telegram was sent to Union Depot

twenty Dunkards."
The religious education Of the tele-

sage had been neglected. He had mover
heard of the Dunkards, and, supposing
mistake had been made, he just inserted
the letter ST." and when Bonner re
cciyed the message it read: "Nleet No. 4.

them"
Bonner was somewhat taken abacl1.
He did not know but that an inebreiate

prompt action was necessary. The

the telling The chief of police, alive
to the exigencies of the situation, made
a special detail of ten policemen and

The policemen were drawn up in q
line at the depot, and intense excite
ment prevailed among tho numerous
depot loungcrs, 4 rumor having gained
currency that desperate band Of train
robbers was on the incoming train.
In due time the train arrived, but no
party of registering drunkards alighted.
The party on the train was composed of
several pious-looking gentlemen with
broad-brimmed hats who stood around
rs though expecting some one.
Bonner approached one OF them and
said interrogatively:
Had any trouble on the road?"
NO, brother" said the gentleman,
"nonc that | know Of. And now I'll
ask you question: Do you know a
gentleman named Bonner?"
Eyes, l am Mr.. Bonner" was tho
answer.
well, these brethren and myself are
Dunkards, and you were to meet us and
put US on the right train. Didn't you
get 4 telegram"
Bonncr was completely done for. He
excused himself, and, calling the SER
gcant of police aside, no told him that
it was all mistake and he and his men
could go back to headquarters. Then
he disposed of his religious friends,
went around and cussed out the tele-
graph operator, after which he had to

THE DOCTORS DOG.

Hc Bosses the Horse and AmuSeS Pcopic
in Sundry Ways.
Dr. Gle, an old-time doctor of rural
Windham village, rides a long medical
circuit UP and down hill through the
country, and he takes along his Scotch
collie to keep him company. The collie
is the most original dog in Connecticut,
says the New York Sun, and better
companion than many men are. 1t
amuses both DR.. Gile and the people
along the routes to watch the collie's &C.
centric performances. To vary the
monotony of travel the dog has two ways
of faring on. For part of the time he
travels under the forward axle OF the
carriage, and no matter how fast the
steed priclls on the dogs nose is close to
the horses hinder heels. If the horse
is disposed to be lazy, and does not re-
spond to the doctors urging, the collie
has a never-failing remedy for tAe ami
malls cloth. He makes just one snap at
one of the steed's shod hoofs, and the
horse steps in mighty lively fashion
for the next five minutes. a
Why doesn't the horse tab revenge
for the practice by kicking the collie
into kingdom come? A great many peo-
pie have put that query to DR.. Gle, and
the doctor, smiling, dryly says: Cant
be done. The horse does not live that
is quick enough to get in counter on
Dick. He isn't there, you see, when the
hoof gets where he is. OF course, the
horse tried it several times at the start,
but it was no use; besides, he has got
used to being spurred up by Dick, un-
derstands that he is Driver No. 2, and,
on the whole, rather admires it now, 1
guess
But pinchlng lazy heels isn't the col
lies smartest trick, byany means. After
going afoot as long as he pleases, the
collie slips out from beneath the vehicle
and, with head cooked to one side, makes
sign to the doctor that very likely he
would be agreeable to an urgent request
to get in aud ride. So the doctor pulls
up short, and with single bound Dick
is in the carriage, laughing broadly and
surveying the surrounding landscape
with outstretched neck and twinkling
eyes. Thus he rides fer @ mile or so,
and then tires of getting over ground in
that humdrum style.
His next act is an extraordinary one.
Placing his forefeet firmly on the rail of
the dashboard, he suddenly vaults over
Htheboard and lands squarely on the
horses launches. There he sits up
straight and tall and very cool, in the
customary canine atttude IF EeaeStipn.
