Futures-while spots are easy and
niddllng cannot be sold over 1916,
futures have advanced to points,

relief TO the spot market at present, as
money matters are still operating against

contract market depends upon short in

American exports decline, her immedi-
ate supply becomes smaller and, couse-
ouen,Iy, that market remains very
steady. Opposite conditions prevail in
this country. Liverpool closed steady at

disease became deeper seated it attacked his
lungs causing much pain in his chest and a viO-
lent cough. In fact he cOughed night and day,
and In the night his cough was simply terrible.
He could get but little sleep. and would often
waken with such a smothered feeling he
could scarcely get bis breath. He had
no appetite, and what little food he did eat he
would feel like vomiting up. The gas that
formed in his stomach after eating gave him
great distress. He lost flesh, and his lungs be-
came so weak he could not lie on either side.
Every change of weather would cause him to
take cold. Night sweats further weakened
him until at times he was unable to do any
work. 1t was while IN this condition that he
began treatment with the physicians of tho
Catarrh and Dyspepsia InstlJ ute. H9 says;
"My disease was OF six seven years stand
ing, and tho above history OF my case is true.

FIRST SCHOOL HOUSE AND CHURCH.
The first school house In the township was
built over 100 years ago at Wills Hollow
(from Will-o-the- Wisp), not far from the
Ingram farm. 1t was burned down In 1918,
but its successor, q building about the size
of an ordinary hen coop, erected immedi.
ately after, is still In existence. The first
church in the valley was Of the Catholic de-
nomination. 1t was built in 1929 and Is
still standing, close to Grafton station, in
the midst OF a picturesque old burying
ground.
The descendants OF old settlers In the fam
lilies Of the Bells, Steels, Silks, Days, Lor-
raines, Doolittles, Halls, Dinsmores and
others are still to be met at various points
in the township. Judge Wilkeson, one of a
family Of 20, came from Carlisle, Pa, to
CHARTERS In 1884, his father exchanging a
horse for tract Of land 200 acres in extent,
and the same tract is now worth at least
81, 900 per acre. w. g. KAUFMANN.

WRITTEN FOR THE DISPATCH. J


Away back in the middle of the last GEN.
tury, along the banks of the stream empty
ing its waters into the Ohio short distance
above McKee's Rocks. stood solitary cabin.
1t was usually silent, for its owner occupied
1t but rarely, and it rested in a nook Of the
loveliest vale of Western Pennsylvania.
The redskin troubled himself but little con-
cerning either the cabin or its owner as the
latter was known to be thoroughly in SYM
psthy with the Indians. The pale-face was
Peter Charter, French trader, one of the
first white men to brave the Western forests.
Little is known of the exact location of
that cabin, for when the pioneers began to
settle thereabouts score OF years later, it
had been destroyed, and its existence was
known only by hearsay. But its owner
dwelt there long enough to give the stream
and some of the green hills whose feet rest
in it name. Charter washington, in his
journal, incorrectly pronounces it 'Shur-
tee'') was not the sort of character after
whom 1t is advisable to christen ANYTHING.
His record of robbery and notorious at
tempts to involve the Shawanese Indians in
war with the Six Nations for which he was
compelled to permanently abandon his main
residence in Philadel phia, to live with his
red friends, is not calculated to inspire re-
Bpeet for the man, hut the name which he
gave to the stream will, for want of better
one, likely remain as it is for many years to
come.
NOT A SENTIMENTAL PEOPLE.

tiers permitted themselves TO be but little

A GENUINE WILD BOY
Who VIII Probably be Sent TO the Reform
School

A little fellow with all the instincts Of an
animal has just been turned up by the HUI
name Society. His name is Harry Allen.
He is colored, and - years old, but his
appearance would not indicate that he was
more than eight. The boy was
found by the ladies Of the Improvement of
the Poor Society, in Oakland, where he was
begging The ladies took care of him and
turned him over to the Humane Society.
He was found to be n brother of Mrs. Lu-
cinda johnson, who lives on Thirtieth street.
She brought him from his home in
the mountains Of Virginia, because they
could not keep him there. Ever since he
was baby he would run off TO the noun
tains. Sometimes he would be gone Tor
months before he could be caught. He lived
in the woods on berries and raw meat. The
boy can climb tree like cat. He catches
birds and eats them raw.
The boys hands are like claws. His eyes
are almost yellow, aud the pupils OF them
enlarge and decrease like those Of cat.
He has a wild look that is indescribable.
Mrs. johnson says she does not know what
to do with him, as he runs of at every op-
portunity. The boy will probably be sent
to the Reform School.

Influenced by sentiment in the naming of q
place. One name was as good as another in
their estimation, and Charter was odd
enough in sound to be applicable TO not only
the stream, but considerable OF the country
surrounding it. So it was that the tract of
land at present comprised within boundary
line drawn along the right bank oil the
creek from its mouth to North Mansfield,
thence along the line Of Union Township
and borough to the Chic, and thence down
the river TO the place OF beginning, received
its name.
The compromise of Jure, 1880, which
Welded TO this Stlte q portion of the old
Virginia claim, eventually added to Ale-
gheny county section which for scenic
beauty, fertility o soil and richness OF min
eral resources cannot be surpassed II
equalied throughout the State. The section
referred TO IL contained at the present with
In the limits Of the townships lying south Of
the Ohio aud south and west Of the Monon-
gahela. About year after the transaction
referred 10 In the above, aud upon the eree-
tion OF Washington county, IL became n
part ol that county, being included In what
was then known rs Robeson, Cecil and
Peters townships, and for time portion
was under the Jurisdiction Of Dickinson
township, which was organized In 1884, al
though not confirmed until two years later.
All OF these boundaries were again de-
Stroyed on September "a, 1888, and with the
territory ceded by Westmoreland divided
into seven townships, forming Allegheny
county. Three Of these made up that por-
tion on the southern and western side OF the
Ohio and Monongahela, and we're first
known a. Moon, 81. Clair and Miflin.
These we're 10 turn split up into a number
Of smaller subdivisions, one OF which is
Charters.
ANOTHER PIONEER NAME.
This township was much larger at one
time than now. 1t extended up the creek to
the small streamlet known as "Whisky
