If the silver leaders had beef
wise they would have assented tt
the repeal Of the silver purchasing

permitted its passage at the earliest
day possible. In the Wilson bill
they haye the plighted faith # the

Instead of recognizing the inev-

bulk of the recruits for Boehme's re-
markablc teachings. These men.
actuated by high principles, formed
communities, which found but little
favor in the eyes of the authorities.
George Rapp, contemporary of
Boehme, gathered together six hun
drcd of his followers and founded the
Harmony society, whose remnants are
now located at Economy, Pa, in 1905.
Another sect. called the Separatists,
headed by Joseph BauInelcr. arrived in
the United States in 1877 and founded
the colony Of Zoar, in Ohio. Tho
Economists have accumulated vast
possessions, but as celibacy is one OF
their rules the society cannot hope to
outlivc the present century. The
Separatists, although opposed to
marriage at first. became convinced,
in the course of time, that it is nor
good for man to be alone, and their
spiritual leaders eventually permitted
society. At present the Zoarites are
stronger numerically, than when they
first settled on American soil, and as
their faith is as vigorous as ever the
colony will in all probability continue
its existence for many years to come.
The Inspira tionists, located at
Amana, Ia, are the most powerful
sect of German mystics in the United
States. They occupy nearly 10000
acres of the finest farming lands in
Iowa county. about twelve miles west
from Iowa City, at one time the capital
of the Hawl>eye state, and about half
way between Davenport and Des

Action Taken at Richmond.

RICHMOND, May 10.-At meeting of the
executive committee of the Jefferson Davis
Monument association held here further
details were agreed on in reference to the
refinement of Mr.. Davis remains in this
city, as follows: 1t was decided to request
the governors of the states through which
the funeral train passes between here and
New Orleans to accompany the cortegc to
this city and act rs honorary pallbearers;
the public school children are requested to
pass the bier while lying in state ut the
capitol in body and strew garlands Of
flowers thereon. Citizens along the route
of procession to Hollywood cemetery are
requested to drape their residences and
places of business in black and white. Pro
vision was made for the attendance of
Robert Brown, of Mississippi, and James
r. Jones, of Raleigh, both colored SER
wants of President Davis during the
war. Governor Mckinney will meet the
train Mt the border line of Virginia. He
will also have the capitol building suitably
draped for the reception of the remains. A
great many prominent people throughout
the country have signiiicd their intention
of being here May 3lst.

A Girl of Pluck.

One of the most successful real es-
tate dealers of New York is a girl of
20, Miss Agnes X. Murphy. Her pluck.
perseverance and shrewdness enabled
her last year to negotiate among her
sales two very large ones, one of $780,
600, the other of 100000. She operates
in the upper growing part of the city
Her father was in the business before
her. but died three years ago, leaving
this girl of II with his family to sup
port. She snonldered the load bravely
and at once ve1ftured out more daring
ly and successfully than her father had
ever done. Immediately at the cen
clusion of the 100000 sale Hiss Murphy
was proposed as member Of the New
York real estate exchange. 49,

american travellers Honored.

LONDON, May 10.-The Royal Geographi-
cal society has awarded n gold medal to
Mr.. w. Woodville Rockhill, chief clerk of
the state department Mt Washington for
his extensive travels and explorations dur
ing the past few years in western China,
Koko-Nor, Tsartlam and eastern and CEN
trail Thibet. In II notice of the award the
London Times says: During his travels
Mr.. Rockhill has made the most careful
surveys, while his observations on the
countries and their inhabitants are of the
most scientific and scholarly character, as
may be seen in his work The Land of the
Lamas.'" The Royal society has elected
Major j. w. Powell, chief of the United
States geological survey, an honorary cor
responding member.

quantities. Guests are always made
TO feel at home, hospitality being one
of the rules of the society. Tramps,
however, shun the colony, as the
Amanites have no use for parasites and
oilers.
Marriage is considered disgrace by
the Inspirationists. Boys and girls are
kept apart, and men and women-cven
when husbands and wives-arc not al
lowed to cat at the same table. New
ertheless cellbacy is not obligatory.
Cupid, the sly god of love, although
his name is unknown in the settle
ment, manages in some way to turn
the heads of the young men and wom-
en-, and marriages are not rare. When
man takes unto himself a wife he
loses his spiritual standing and only
years of piety and devotion will induce
the elders TO restore him to the priv
ileged class. If he marries girl not
a member of the society he is expelled
for at least one year when he can seek
readmission to the lowest class of
membership, which, by the way. is
divided into three grades.
Christopher Metz was, as has been
otttCu, tHC iISC lHSplFeu lHSITuIneuC or
oracle of the society. Upon his death
in 1867 he was succeeded by Barbara
Landmann, woman of remarkable
ability, and she, in her turn, has had
several able successors. The doctrines
OF the society do not differ materially
from the creed laid down by Boehme
and his imitators.
The only objection ever urged
against the Inspirationists by their
neighbors is their disinclination to
take part in political affairs. They
never vote, although many have taken
out naturalization papers. They pay
their taxes without complaint. Dur
ing the civil war they contributed
large amounts to the sanitary commits
sion and other charitable objects, but,
as their religion forbids the shedding
of human blood, they did not send one
recruit to the union army, for whose
success they prayed fervently and I'M
interruptedly.

private houses are without kitchens
and cooking stoves, the community
supplying meats, groceries and pro-

are served at regular hours and are
