bility to stroll the streets of Zoar in
blossom time. From the rich garden
rise imposing white steps to the pa
latial home of the dead king. 1t was
erected in 1885, and was looked upon
as a magnificent and costly mansion.
Celibacy was advocated by the Zoa-
rites until Joseph Bimeler succumbed
to the charms of a village maid. Then
marriage became honorable in the COM
munity.
For some years the kings palace
has been the repository for goods to
be distributed among the community.
Thither came each family twice

housekeeping goods. No account or

followed the same mode rivalry had no
place in their fashioning. Until recent
date they spun and woVe their own
materials, tanned leather for their
shoes and supplied not only the needs
of the community, but controlled
large outside market in stoves, tiles
and other productions. They had no
literary or artistic taste and little So
cial life. Ability to make music of
commonplace order was the only talent
apparent. Their religion forbade dane

tertainment was unknown TO them.
Their morality was unimpeachable.

Zoar received it's death blow in 1884,
when it was made a station on the
Wheeling and Lake Erie Railroad. This
first encounter with the modern world
forced it to assume municipal form.
Then came the public schools and the
summer boarder. Women began to ape
the fashions of the visitors. Families
fell to doing chores, sewing, launder-
ing for the stranger, receiving pay
which they gradually forgot to turn
into the common treasury. Boys built
boats and rented them, putting the
money in their pockets. Young Zoar
tasted the world and it's opportunities.
Restlessness and discomfort set in. 1t
was stimulated by Levi Bimeler, the
village schoolmaster. He is the one
Zoarite educated outside the commu-
nifty. He openly advocated the right
of members 70 withdraw if they de-
sired and to receive their distributive
share. To promulgate his views he
published in 1895 a four-page sheet, of
which he was editor, publisher and
pressman, doing the printing on hand

With the reported passing of the
Bath Hotel, at the corner of Piccadilly
and Arlington streets, whose site has
been secured by Sherry, the we'll
known New York restaurateur, for the
erection of an American hotel, anoth-
er famous London landmark will sue
cumb to the hand of modern improve
ment"
Built somewhere about 1850, the
Bath Hotel has for generations been
synonymous with the Old World COM
fort of well-ordered English hostel
ry. From it's contiguity to Whites
and other fashionable st. James street
clubs, the hotel was, in the early days
of the last century, an especial favor
lite with the country gentry. Hither
came the portly squire in his lumber
ing vehicle for a few weeks stay in
the metropolis, during which his we'll
filled purse was often depleted by Wis
it's to the gaming table.
For Americans the place possesses
great interest from the fact that John
Adams, the first representative to
England from the United States after
the Revolutionary War, made 1t his
abode. From the hotel he drove. on
June 1, 1885, to present his credentials
to George III.

AMERICAN PREPoNDERANCE.
AUSTRIAN PUBLICIsT AND PALEON-
ToLoGIsT GIVES INTERVIEW.

Says American Trusts Are Moving to
Conquer Foreign Markets More
surely Than They Could BE Com
auered by BattleshiDs-Americ
Balance of Trade Has Reached an
Unparalleled Figure.
Vienna. Aug. 22.-Prof. Edward
Suess, the eminent publicist and pale
ontologist. has given an interview re-
specting the industrial and political
preponderance of the United states
that attracts much attention, especial
~ as it confirms the anti-American
views OF continental manufacturers
and economists.
The professor surveying interna-
tional relations from the standpoint OF
a political philosopher, observes that
while the French revolution was occa-
stoned by the abuses of the privileged
classes. the present situation has been
caused by a revolution of material con-
ditions. The declining national senti-
ment should be replaced by move
ment for the common defense OF the
Central European states against the
American trusts, which are moving 10
conquer the foreign markets more
surely than they could be conquered
by battleships. The American balance
of trade has reached an unparalleled
figure. 1t was a serious question If
the present political units of
Central Europe were strong enough to
make an effective defense, taking into
account the physical conditions. The
present shifting of the center of gray
ity of the worlds forces would create
three great units-China, Russia and
America When China was equipped
with railroads the people would find
that she had the most capable mer-
chants and the cheapest labor. Russia
would have the largest army and be the
greatest peasant state. European capt.
tai would flow to the United States and
would be an important increase of her
economic prosperity. OF the three the
United States had decidedly the lead.
It's policy was commercial aggression,
beyond doubt, and states like the
American Union and Russia had gain
ed far more in the way of the mobili-
cation of their powers from the con-
struction of railroads than such coun-
tries as Germany and France.

FIGHTS THAT ARE FIXED.
Fistic Contests the Athletic Club Has
Arranged.

Tommie Feltz left last night for
Brooklyn, where he will be married to
Miss Frances Perkins day after to-
morrow. The crack bantam weight,
the champion of the world, will return
next Wednesday and will be in trim
for his fight with Kelly, which has
again been postponed.
Aug 26 was fixed as the date for the
fight between Feltz and Jimmy Kelly.
AS Al McMurray said yesterday, You
can't stop a wedding for a fight how
ever, and Tommie was so bent on his
trip to get bride that he had to have
things his way. He will meet Kelly
On Sept. g..
on Sept 16 Jack Daily and Jack Ben
nett will have their second fight in
Savannah. DAILY is now training at
1hunderbolt. Bennett will get here
from the North on Sept. 1, and will
get to work at Tybee. That is a fight
to which the sports are looking for
ward.
McMurray is busy with his arrange
ments. He says it'll be a good thing
for the Savannah Athletic Club If he
can bring Austin Rice out, and he be-
heVes he can. He wants to get Rice
ing, and he believes Rice will be here
the latter part of next month. The
manager says he could fill the house
with a fight between the little fellows.
Negotiations are on between McMur-
ray and Danny Dougherty's manager.
McMurray wants any match between
the two to be for not less than twenty
rounds, with five ounce gloves, the
winner to take all the purse. The fight
can be arranged if Dougherty will come
to those terms. The boy is a crack
a-jack, having held the bantam cham
p:onship. Feltz was the chap who de-
spoiled him of that honor.
McMurray is framing up a match
between Oscar Gardner. 1.-The Omaha
Kid and Joe Bernstein of New York
That would be worth hundreds of miles
of travelling for a sport to see. The

Fair.

A Humorous Requisition.

From the ST. Paul Pioneer Press.
Queer requests often reach the heads
of the executive department here from
officials of the government out in the
fields of Uncle Sans operations. The
custodian of a federal building in a
Southern town wants the treasury Of
ficials to authorize the placing of fly
screens in the windows of the building
over which he has control The custo-
dian makes a strong case. He admits
that the government is not in the habit
of putting fly screens in public build
ings, but he says his building should
be an exception for the reasons he
gives. 1t will be strange if, after the
plea he sends the department, he
should fail to get the screens. He says:
This office, to proceed at once to the
point, is at times, notably when the
temperature changes, the victim of
fly pest that would have started Moses
out of Egypt sixty days sooner than
Pharoah moved him. 1t would move
anything but an ,officeholder. The walls
pictures, furniture, windows. curtains
and crockery are all defiled and de-
faced. My commission, bearing the
executive, hanging before me at this
flowing signature of our honored chief
writing, looks like map of the Pa
cine achlpelagO; the looking glass De-
yond like a target of a shotgun tested
at forty yards
There have been days when it has
taken ten sheets of fly paper in this
one room to interest such flies as were
not already stuck on the postmaster
or custodian, and careful computa-
ton of the Office statistician disclosed
the fact that one one day four thou
sand of the insects had persisted. We
got this result by count of the vic
Tins; there seemed to be no vacancies
in the ranks of the survivors.
81 have learned to swear and throw
things.
Attached to this you will find a dia-
gram setting forth the condition which
surround this building. Within the ra-
dius of 100 yards there are three liv-
cry stables and mule boarding houses,
one horse sanatorium, with operating
tables; one fish morgue, two shops for
beef that should have been embalmed.

Seven Prisoners in COnee jail
Charged With Murder.
Douglas Ga. Aug. 22.-The annual
camp meeting at Gaskin Springs, one
and a half miles from Douglas, com
menced this afternoon, and will proba
bly, continue for two weeks. Every pre-
paration has been made for handling
and entertaining the large crowds ex-
pected. The city has graded beautiful
driveway out to the spring, and hacks
will run every thirty minutes. A grand
religious feast is expected.
Sheriff w. w. Switzerland has con-
fined in Jail sixteen prisoners. Among
this number are seven old offenders,
two whites and five colored, under the
charge of murder, committed some
years ago, and who heretofore, sue
ceeded in eluding arrest by the officers,
and felt secure in the different states
in which they had taken refuge. These
arrests have been made from Indiana
to South Florida. There are two whites
charged with bigamy, two colored,
with rape, the remainder are under
minor charges, with two cases charged
with murder that are out on bond. 1t
will be impossible for Judge Bennett to
clear the criminal docket alone, within
one week in October. Sheriff Souther-
land since coming into office in Jan
uary has arrested IS criminals to date
and seven of these in as many different

MAY HAVE OIL AND GOLD.
Savannah Man Investigating Old
Land Purchases.


w. H. Tarver, the Old Book Store
man, is investigating the rumors of oil
and gold finds in Georgia with con-
siderable interest. He is halloween of
4SO acres of land in Pierce county,
eighteen miles south of Blackshear,
somewhere near the rumored oil farm.
He is part owner of another 4S0 acres
in Rabun county, twelve miles from
the South gold mine, and is also part
owner in eighty acres in Chattooga
county, in the manufacturing district
All of the property was purchased from
the executors of Augustus Seeborn
Jones, who bought it from John Hollis
The latter won the Pierce county prop
erty and probably the others in the
state lottery in 1918 and 1919. The deeds
are properly recorded and if the oil and
gold finds pan out Mr.. Tarver will
have something better than his pres
ent business to depend on.
