FORT HERKIMER CHURCH.
1t Was Built in 17o1-53 and Is Still
Standing, Rare Historical
Monument.

The stone church at Fort HerlSimer
was erected in 1888; the precise time
not being known, and formed a part of
the stockaded defense built under the
administration of Sir William johnson
in the year 1856. 1t was not finished
when the French and Indian invasion
of 1857 occurred.
After that disastrous event, which
brought poverty upon the people, they
applied for and received from Sir Henry
Moore, the governor of the colony, q
license to solicit subscriptions to COM
pete the church. Fort Herkimer,
which constituted an important part OF
the frontier defense, embraced a large
stone house, probably erected as early.

a merchant prince was great man in
cid Philadelphia far greater man
than the master OF little school, even
though it were the most select in the
city-even though the teacher were an
eAiled French gentleman of royal blood,
duke of Orleans then, King Louis
Philippe in after years. 81
The story of how the princely school
master courted the charming Abigail,
daughter of Thomas Willing, is re-
lated with new detail in recent num-
Der of the Ladies' Home journal.
Dressed in his best and probably, not.
withstanding that he was modest and
sensible young man, little in fear of an
unfavorable response, the exiled prince
called on the American merchant and
asked him for his daughter. There was
perhaps, more pride than humility in
the answer he received:
"Sir, should you ever be restored to
your hereditary position, you will be
too great match for my daughter; if
not, she is too greata match for you.''
So the poor schoolmaster went away
disappointed, and, although only his
position" and the lady s appear to have
been considered by the hard-hearted
parent, it is probable that if Mistress
Abigail had not agreed with his opinion
she would have made her influence felt.
AS 1t was, Louis Philippe married
Princess Marie Amelie, daughter Of the
king of Naples, while Abigail Willing, Of
Philadelphia, who might have been
queen of France, became plain Mrs.
Richard Peters.

standing. The church was surrounded
by an earthwork by Sir William John
son in 1856.
This was fertilization of consider
able pretensions both as to size and inn
pregnability against the arms of those
days. The other two buildings farther
east were probably similar in their con-
struction. Into these the inhabitants
fled and found refuge when attacked,
or before expected attacks by their
foes. Such course was followed in
1857. and the lives of many of the in

The People Indignant.

The honest peoples of this country
are becoming very indignant over the
scandals that hover about state capi-
tails. Delaware, California. Utah and
Pennsylvania are rolling in disgrace
because of exposures of corruption,
bribery and vote purchasing in con-
nection with the election of United
States senator. The better class of
people in Delaware are taking the
matter in hand, and they propose to
give the grand jury great deal of
work in the line of indicting regular
and lobby mem bers of the legislature.
The people of California have not taken
the matter in hand yet, but the chap
lain of the assembly is making grave
charges. which he says be can snbstan-
tiate in court. He proposes to inter-
est enough of the leading people of the
state to oblige the courts to order a
grand jury Investigation. la Utah
there was quite as much corruption as
in any OF the other states, but as it was
confined to the Mormons mostly, there
will be no effort made to bring the
guilty parties to justice. The fight for
the senatorship is still on in Pennsyl-
vania, and although it is not denied
that there are plenty of offers to buy
votes. there has not been enough open
work to give grand jury material to
work upon.
The Missouri legislature has no sem
atorial scandals, but several paid at

lature assembled in January. These
