HOW PENN YAM WAS NAMED.

A Syllable Each Taken From the
Names Pennsylvania and YAM
kee.
Do you know how the town of Pen
Yam was christened? If not, it is
worth while to listen to the story
that Representative Warner, of New
York, told u Washington Post man
recently.
"Once upon time," he said, "there
lived in Connecticut young woman
named Jemima Wilkinson. She died,
or at least her relatives thought she
was dead. At the funeral the coffin
was opened for the last time to allow
the sorrowing friends to gaze upon
the supposed corpse. Miss Wilkinson
surprised the congregation by coming
back to life. From that time she was
woman with mission. She claim
ed she had passed through the gates
of death, but that she had been sent
back to the world to be the second
redeemer. From her resurrection, in
fact, was to date the regeneration of
the world.
connecticut with it's orthodox
tendencies, proved sterile ground for
the new religionists, and they remov-
ed to Pennsylvania, somewhere in
Tioga county, I think. Here they
made some accessions, but believing
that they could prosper still better in
New York, they moved their
entire colony into Yates county,
in my state. Jemima was car
ried through the woods in gorge
Gus chariot drawn by her adorers. In
New York they established the CITY Of
New JeruSal and presently increas-
ed so that they wanted postoftice.
Their religion, however, was not; proof
against jealousy, and the first OF the
faith, who were called Yankees because
they came from Connecticut, were in
a continual state of warfare with the
latter worshipers, who were gathered
into the fold from Pennsylvania.
When the time came to choose the
name OF the postoffice every sugges-
ton OF the one faction was laughed to
scorn by the other, and a day was
spent in heated but vain debate. FL
nally one OF the good brethren, who
had probably been out taking drink
or two, suggested a compromise. He
thought the name might be divided
between the Two sides, with, Pennsyl-
vanians and Yam for the Yankees.
The session adjourned without form
ally ratifying this solution of the
problem, but it was accepted next day
by general consent, and Penn Yam still
remains the name OF the city.
