NEW BELLAMY COLONY.
A Community From Which Lawyers
and Ministers Will Be Barred

George II. Webster. grocer of Nashua,
\. H., is organizing a Bellamy colony.
Lawyers and preachers will be barred
from membership. 1t Will be located
either in New Hampshire or Massachu-
setts. A committee has been appointed to
select a site. Two colonies of Shakers
at Shirley Village Mass, are about to
unite and Mr. Webster hopes to obtain
one of their locations.
Il am a Socialist" he said. While
communities are not exactly a part of
the socialistic scheme, / believe in them
thoroughly. l have been studying the
subject for four years, and the idea OF
organizing a Bellamy colony in this city
originated with me. ] started the move
ment about two months ago, and we have
gone so far as to appoint committee TO
not confined TO Nashua people by any
means. 1t looks as though all New Eng
land and many of the Western States
would be represented in the list of char
ter members.
Tho cost of stock in the company is
matter on which l have figured a good
al 5000 each. Possibly we may cut it
down to $500. Each charter member will
own one share of stock and no more. It's
right here that our colony will differ from
the Bellamy colony at Ruskin, Tenn.
There a share of stock costs 5000. 1t

his money than a man who goes in next

last fall am trying to devise some
sort of a plan to equalize the thing.
Each member will be required to dc
posit his money when he joins the colony.
We must buy land and the raw material
for building houses. for each man in this
community will own a house and enough
to live on until we can raise our own
produce. If there isn't enough money |
am willing to loan the colony $1,000 or
more without interest, and | presume
there will be others in ii who can and
will do the same thing.
After we are on our feet we shall de-
wise some plan so able-bodied men can
come in without cash capital. We can't

board given him. For his labor he will
be paid in time checks. and the price of
all commodities sold by US to our own
members will be reckoned in hours.
mo money will be used between the
members. and of course everything sold
them will be sold without profit at the
actual cost -

T T ONOLULU, July 23.-The volcano
of Mokuoweoweo still contIn-
ues to be active, and old flows

reports are that there is no ap-
parent fear for Hilo, as the main
streams appear to be diverting from
the main track to the port and touching
more to the north in the direction of
Kalaieha on the side of Mauna Loa, and
then turning westward toward Kohala.
The Calls correspondent writes to me
from Hilo that for the past few days 1t
had been impossible to get even
glimpse Of the reflection from that city
until on Thursday evening. when the
dense smoke, which had been hanging
over the whole Of the east coast, cleared
away and magnificent view of the
glow was had.

Tho volcano is enjoyed by the hundreds
Of visitors. Through a telescope or
even by the naked eye can easily be
seen the vast columns of lava being
thrown from the center of the crater
high up into the air to fall again upon
the side Of the cone and rush madly
down its sides in fiery columns. These
fountains vary from 200 to at least 800
feet i'm height. and though almost thir-
ty miles from the Volcano House are
plainly visible
If it IS not within the compass of peo-
ple to visit the actual crater itself-and
the journey and climbing require strong

able should not hesitate to get as near
To it as the Volcano House, for the
climate is simply grand, and there are
many points of interest even to those
who have previously visited Kilauea.

A WARM ATTACK
ON SPiRITUALISM

Rev. F. Nelander preached a sermon on
"Spiritualism: or, King Saul at the
W-itch's Cave" last night to his congrega-
tion at the First English Lutheran
Church. Following are a few extracts
from the sermon:
Paul was a spritualist. l do not say that
there is no truth underlying this form of
falsehood But for the so-called "spirituaism"
of these times have feeling but of
contempt and abhorrence Suppose that our
departed dead could communicate with us
would they go to entire strangers to people
with whom when living they would not
sociate. and tell to social outcasts the most
sacred things which. il they living, they
would tell IN no but ours? The very
thought of such a possibility is degrading to
he memory of the sainted dead.

"Agnosticism is a term used to set
forth form of scepticism. It's funda
mental principle is that all knowledge
should be restricted to phenomena which
are capable of being apprehended by the
senses. In the new church it is allowable
to enter with the understanding. SO the
word agnosticism has no place here The
new church does claim to know and to be
able to give a reason for its faith"
