THE ECONOMIES.
They Have Formed q Compact
with DR.. Cyrus iced.
HIS SECOND MESSIAH CLAIMS
He VIII Establish Grand Commercial Scheme
and Execute Many Marvellous Engineering
Feats, and Blk the COnfiding.


PITTsBURG, Oct. GA new era began
to-day III Economy. the settlement of the
wealthy and peculiar Economics, twenty
miles west Of Pittsburg. From this time
forth DR.. Cyrus iced, head of the Queer
sect styled by him "Koreshans'', will have
a large interest in the direction of the des-
TIMES of the Harmonic society, founded BY
George Rapp in the days when smoke yet
arose from the Indian wigwam not many
miles from the white mans settlement.
The entire complexion of this communicable
body, whose wealth is figured at $3.50, UO0,-
OO0 is apparently about to change with the
full consent of the leaders of a sect who are
almost as much STRAP gers in strange land
today as when they touched American soil.
The younger members OF the Harmonic
society are at the helm. For many years
the plain community at Economy has trod
in the paths marked out by tue fathers, out
things have come into the lives of the living
Economics TO disturb their ouiet. the
pastoral tenor OF the society has reached
turning point, and henceforth its course
will be as uncertain as 1t has hitherts been
placid and well regulated.
Close TO the powers that be, there now
glands a man who, although he may DO the
widest of theorists, has come into the pcs
session OF marvellous influence over the
board OF elders from old Jacob Heinrich
down. DR.. Teed, of "KoreSh, - who claims
! to be a second Messiah; that he Is immcr-
tai IN the body; that the W rid, in tae
crush OF the nineteenth century, is swiftly
| approaching climax, which Will be more
terrible to those who are ground by its

| low the Koresheanite doctrine will survive
this cataclysm. He low claims that he can
/ 40 what he pleases with tue Economics,
/ whose community, ne says, has proSpered
to hold Up the hands Of the shepherd OF
the stone of Israeli and his followers.
On last Saturday night, Dr. Teed was
given hearing by the board OF elders. DR..
Teed's ideas we're explained by Trustee
John Duss, VINO said that the Koreshaps
and Economics had many points il common.
( Dr. Teed made lengthy statement him
self concerning the system, and it was
finally decided by the board TO support DR.
iced in whatever way they could. They
would give him their teaching or CREDIT"
as DR.. iced expresses it. That the head of
tue Koreshanites will avail himself OF the
resources of the Economics as far as he
may, there is no question, and already the
rosy business OF future achievements IS
filing the mind of this fantastic theorlst.
The lay members of the Economics are no.
certain OF the exact status Of Dr.. iced in
their organization. Father Heinrich has
been SO long aholute ruler, that he has
iced and the elders. He said there was a
stranger between them who was doing
much good; he would be with them for g
while, for he has become friendsot the So
ciety which would be Interested in him.
The elders had considered the words OF
Teed and were satisfied that the paths OF
the ''KoreshansH and the Economics were
about parallel and led TO the same goal
DR.. iced told the following to a repre-.
sentative of the E1dminer to-day ABOUT his
plans: 81 will in the near future establish
a store in Pittsburg on my system OF
Equitable commerce. | will establish a big
central house in ChicaG D, and expect my
CO operative system 10 come into general
i vogue in ten years. Eleven years ago
prophesled that would come TO Economy
in 1891. The Harmonic institute has been
placed here for my especial use. They will
do for me whatever l wish; their resources
are at my disposal. or course l shall &C
slowly, and cannot tell very much that is
definite. However, [ did not come here foI
their money; ] want their mora support
and credit Through their influence | eX-
pect to bring closer to me the other five
celibate societies of this country. There
about ten thousand celibatss in the country
outside of the Roman Catholic church. The

and will come IN time. l am not going u

D mid through the Rocky mountains. Trus
t teen Duss is roticent about what The
Ecoeomic society will do for Teed, but say!
that they will be guided by him in grea
, part and that there will be development
' soon. Mr.. Dus5 is in g state OF high sat 5
