CHARTER REVOKED.


courcil was presented, the antis again
showed their strength.
According 20 the present representa-
tion in the national council, the past
state councillors are members of the
body by virtue of their office, and have
the same voice in convention as the
delegates elected by the state councils.
In view of the fact that they have
multiplied rapidly they are able to con-
troll the council and can leglslate
against the minority
Each state was allowed a representa-
tion of five delegates at large from
their respective state councils, and
one delegate extra for each additional
5000 members in excess of the first
5000
This basis gave the state Of Pennsyl.
vania thirty-one delegates in the ma
tional council. The national council
has taken steps to reduce the represen-
tation to three delegates at large. and
an extra representative for each 10000
men, which would reduce the number
in pennsylvania to eleven delegates.
1t is reported that the New York
ana New Jersey states councils have
also been suspended.

Roswell Il. Patterson was born at Lans-
ingville, Delaware county, y. Y, April
26 1922. His father, Daniel Patterson,
was "A native of Glasgow, Scotland. lie
came from there to Lansingville in 1916
and was married to Matilda Pcake, of
that place, the mother of r. p. Patter-
son. For the past fifty.fvc years Mr.
Patterson has been one of the important
factors in the development of Northeas--
ern Pennsylvania. He came to Homes
dale from the Cuictcr fields OF the Della
ware valley at the age of q years. For
about five years, from 1913 to 1915 he re-
mained in the family of his uncle, Henry
Darte, in the Maple City. In the latter
year he was married by Rev. Mr.. Guild,
an itinerant Universalist minister of
Prompton, at the old homestead in Way
mart 10 Miss Angelina Leonard Stark
weather, of Waymart.
In 1S4S he removed to Waymart and en-
gagged in the commercial business. lie
continued there as merchant, tanner and
hotel proprietor continuously until 1871,
a period of twenty-nine years excepting
two, of 1857 and 1865, which he spent in
Carbondale as q member of the tanning
firm of Morss & Patterson, the late G..
L. Morss being the partner. From 1877 to
1856 he resided at Herrick Center, where
he engaged in the same avOcations as
at Waymart with the addition of the
lumber business.
Since 1856 he has been a resident of Car
bondale where. in connection with his
sons, he established the large wholesale
business now running under the firm
name of r. 2. Patterson e. Sons. Since
taking up his residence in Carbondale,
however, he has retired from the active
pursuit of wealth and his business inter-
ests have been cared for most faith
fully and capably by his sons. The foun-
datiOn of his now large fortune was
made in the village of Waymart the life
of which is largely due to his efforts.
Since early manhood Mr.. Patterson has
exhibited a keen business instinct and he
is today one of the largest land holders
in this part of the state besides being con
nected with many of our leading indus
trial enterprises. He Is what may be
termed a Self-mado man in the fulles.
