Not since Brook Farm has there been
4 more extraordinary experiment In
plain living and high thinking"
The Lords Farm is but a few miles
from Underclif. at whose smart little
inn the Tuxedo coaching parties stop
their tally-hos. The Vandcrbilts, the
Bclmonts, the Astors and their fashion,
able train ride within bugle-hail of this
farm house on the hillside. From the
road that winds It's brown length from
undcrcliff to pascaak YOU can see the
gables of Joe Jcfferson's old homestead,
and the old stone church where gallant
Aaron Burr waited to see pretty Theo-
docia Provost home after meeting in
their counting days, and where he
finally welded her.
The district Is composed of farms and
farmers, with the usual interests Of n
farming district, and the social life Is
supplied by the village church with an
occasional mid-winter revival to vary
tho monotony. At II OF these revlvals,
Il Is told by the farmers. the present
leader of THE Lords People made his
first appearance in the neighborhood
as Mnason T. Huntsman. a lay eXhortcr.
Ho preached the gospel with Il local
Evangelist for the first year unevent-
fully.
He then began to see visions" These
visions greatly disturbed the young
men of the district, as they chiefly re-
lated 10 the personal imperfections and
vices, large and small, of those OF them
who had ostensibly renowned the
devil and his works" So correct were
tho preachers visions" that a reform
movement resembling the Parkhurst
crusade was soon under way. Much
opposition was aroused against the re-
former who worked against the pipe
and demijohn with u%nceasing valor, and
declared also against the purple and
fine linen and small besetting vanities
of the women.
The mlschievous portion of the neigh
borhood broke up his meetings by dous-

was mobbed. his long hair and beard

made a similar remark emphasized
with an oath. Editor Reichet and
Printer Landgraf OF Bnrgstadt, Saxony,
have been arrested for slurring the en-
peror in n little social democratic week
ly which they published. Henry Mack
ey's pamphlet poem, THE Anarchists,
has been eXterminated in Berlin by Or
der Of the chief of police.
Or. Barth says the people will in
suit the emperor with ever increasing
frequency as long as these prosecutions
and prosecutions are kept up, and adds
that the history of the empire proves
1t. For instance, in 1876, when tho
social democrats had free hand, there
were but 1871 charges of lese-majeste,
and in 1877 but 200, while In 1873,
when Bismarck began TO threaten and
punish the socialists systematically.
the number jumped to 1000. Barth

The conservatives who are egging on

minister OF the interior, to these prose-
cutions, wish to keep up the crusade,

The Leipsic Gazette says:
we for our part, wish to see all
social democratic leaders banished
from the country, their whole press ex-
terminated, all their societies broken
up, and all their meetings forbidden"
TIC this the radical daily, the Tageblatt,
replies with the question: why should
we be so severe with socialist agitators
and let tho high-tariff tories, who de-
nounce the throne, go scot-frec? Why
should the police drag a social demo-
cratic editor from his bed for some trlv-

When Mrs. Stevenson gives her recep-
tons the parlors OF the hotel are al
ways at her service.
Perhaps there are no young ladies In
town who will receive more social at
tention this winter or more notice in
the press than the two Stevenson girls,
yet to their credit it must be said they
are certainly unspoiled so far by the
constant attention which their move
ments attract. They are both simple

The daughter OF the rich congress-

make her first appearance in society.
SO will Miss Ethel Blanchard. daughter
of the senator from Louisiana, and Miss
Margaret Cana, daughter of the minis
