TYPHOID AT OLD FORGE,
Several Gases Have Been Received
4, at Local Hospital.

An epidemic of typhoid fever has
broken out down the valley at old
Forge and Lackawanna. Yesterday
Two Polish boys, Stanley and Frank
kowitositi, aged twelve and fourteen,
We're taken to the Lackawanna hos
ptal with typhoid. The mother died
yesterday with phoid-pneumonia.
Monday William Bellies, of Old Forge
was taken to the Moses Taylor hos
pital, and is quite seriously i'll. An.
other member of the family. a child,
has been stricken down with the fever.
The exact agency by which the w.
phoid germs Were distributed Is moi
known. Impure drinking water Is cred
tied with having IA great deal to do
with. the spread of the disease. 1t has
also been suggested that milk cans,
washed out none too thoroughly with
germ-charged water, may have com.
municated the germs.

HISTORY OF THE CHURCH.

The present church was organized in
1892 by the late Rev. A. Burba. of Ply
mouth. and services were conducted
for about a year and a half i'm the
basement of ST. Thomas college by
Rev. Joseph Zotorzynski. of Pittston
who came to this city once week for
the purpose. In July, 1894, Rev. Michael
PeZa took charge, and in the fall of
that year the congregation bought the
present site OF the church. paying s3,-
500 for 1t.
1t was decided to build a church. but
on account of the lack of finances at
that time. what is now the basement
Of the new. church was erected and
fitted W. as a place of worship. This
was dedicated i'm August, 1895. by the
late Bishop O'Hara. In the fall of 1896,
Rev. Father Peza left, and for eighi
months services We're conducted by
various clergymen from the cathedral
assigned by the bishop for that pur-
pose. ...
In April 1897. the present pastor
Rev. Anthony h. Kaupas, young
man filled with great zeal and enthusi-
asm, came here from Wilkes Barre and
took charge.
The work of constructing the new
church was begun in AprilN last by the
Peck Lumber company and was fin
ished only few days ago. The struc-
ture is of brick. with stone trimmings,
and is ia feet long by 81 feet wide.
There is tower directly in the centre
of the fropt elevation and the top of
the gided cross which surmounts it is
just 121 feet from the ground,
IMPOSING ENTRANCE.
The main entrance of the church is
| approached by two winding flights Of
stone steps. The interior is finished
entirely In white and is exceedingly
beautiful. There are thirteen large
stained glass windows. twelve feet
| high. and four smaller ones.
From the centre of the ceiling hangs
| a massive chandelier of hammered
! brass of wonderful beauty. There is a
| choir loft in the front end of the
church and in this will be erected in
the near future a large pipe organ.
| The total cost of the church is just an
| even $4,000. The seating capacity is
| 1000, and the congregation numbers
| about the same.

battle of Princeton. He embraced the
Methodist religion and was a min
lister OF that faith, being one of the
men who laid deep and broad the
foundation of Methodism in this
country. One son, Jesse, a boat
builder by trade, who inherited all
of his fathers excellent qualities, also
became Methodist minister, and
was the father of eight sons, six of
whom became Methodist preachers.
One son, Elisha, bought government
land northwest of Oskaloosal and re-
moved there when Oskaloosa con-
sisted of one store and few houses.
With him or at later period, came
his four sons, who established the
Chew family in Oskaloosa. One son,
James Chew, a local preacher of the
Methodist church who was ordained
by Bishop Jaynes, was very promin-
ent in the history of the Oskaloosa
NJ. e. church in the days of it's form
alton. His son, the Rev. W. @. Chew,
of the Iowa Conference, still carries
on the work so nobly begun by his
forefathers. Among the descendants
of The Chews in Oskaloosa is B. w.
Chew the oldest living member of
that branch, Elisha Chew, merchant,
Mrs. Harvey Davis, chorister of the
Christian church, Wilbur Bass, men,

Hopkins of Chicago who was given
the place of honor behind the Liberty
bell in the procession at the World g
Fair, silk flag woven by the ladies
of Philadelphia being held over her
head. She is one of the oldest mem
bers of the Daughters of the American
Revolution. 1t has been said by some,
at is not what our ancestors were,
but what we are True, but if good
blood tells in horses and cattle and
the lower creation, will it not do so
much more in the human racer if
fathers eat sour grapes, will not the
children's teeth be set on edge?
Oh aughters of noble ancestry
Are you worthy today of the sire
Who true to his country and faithful to God
Helped to kindle liberties fire.
sOns of noble courageous fathers
Do you still carry tie banner high
And with pureness of purpose
Trust in God and keep y, ur powder dry?
Are you still true to country and manhood,
Is onward and upward your cry,
Are you worthy of noble ancestry,
Sons and daughters are your am l?
If so. down, down through the ages
Comes the ringing cry, well done,
And our chiIdrens children will bless the
work
That we in faith begdu.
Then let every deed, every purpose,
For the highest ideal aim,
Let us leave for our children that rich estate,
A pure uDtarnished name.
