PENNSYLVANIA PIONEER
Dies at His Home Near TitusIille. That
State.

Quite a number of citizens of Mariet-
ia come here from Titusville. Pa. and
they will be interested in the follow
ing account of a noted character of
that community. This sketch ap-
peared in Titusville paper:
Samuel Ridgeway, known through
the length and breadth of the country
on account of his connection with his
sanitarium at Hydetown and the won
derful cures he made in cases of rheu
matism, stiffened joints, paralysis and
other diseases after physicians had
pronounced them incurable. is dead.
He died today at 1:50 of diabetes
Uncle Sam as he was familiarly
known to everyone, was one ofnature's
noblemen and recent years of his life
were devoted to relief and suffering
humanity. Without charge or
thought of personal gain. he was in
defatigable in his efforts to assist his
fellowmen. From east to went and
north to south the afflicted sought aid
at his hands and the affiuent and poor
alike, were welcomed to his ministra
tions and alike received benefits. A
man Of the people. whole souled and
big hearted. he accorded to all
hearty welcome when visits were paid
him. A man of ordinary education.
without professional skill or knOwl-
edge, he annually cured thousands of
people of their ailments or gave them
relief. Some of his cures were Won
derful, and persons who could only
walk with the aid of crutches and
numbers Of them unable TO walk at all
after few weeks and sometimes days
of treatment, left his sanitarium cur
ed or greatly benefited. No man ever
sought his aid financially or otherwise
but what received assistance. He
needs no epitaph; il is written indeIi-
bly, upon the hearts of thousands
throughout the land.
Deceased was about II years of age
His grandfather, Peter Titus "a son OF
Jonathan Titus, after whom this city
was named, came here in 1887 with a
surveying corps connected with the
Holland Land Company. He took !
fancy to the beautiful valley at Hyde
town and after securing a grant Of d

The hanging gardens Of Babylon, con-

era, were reckoned at that time among
the wonders of the world. A hanging
| garden is a garden formed in terraces
rising one above the other There were
! five of these gardens at Babylon each con-
sisting OF an artificial hill, 400 feet square,
| the sides divided into terraces of earth
resting on stone platforms covered with
groves, avenues and beds of flowers and
| provided with galleries and banqueting
! rooms. They were irrigated from a reser-
! voir at the summit filed with water raised
from the Euphrates.
There are to-day many hanging gardens
in various parts of the world particularly
Oh mountain sides in China, water being
raised in buckets sometimes thousands
of feet TO irrigate them, Col. S. b. Miles
Of the British Army has just described the
hanging gardens he oun on the mountains
in the interior OF Arabia about sixty miles
southwest of the trading port of Muscat.
Visitors have to cross a stretch of desert
To reach this beautiful region of verdure
mic the thirst lands.
One of the inland towns is Sheraizi
perched on the brow of a lofty cliff which
falls TO thevalley beneath 1he town is
built on 10 steep a declivity that the houses
appear to ~overhang one another, the only
communication being by means of steps
leading from one TO another row OF build
mgs. just below the town il a copious
spring Of pure water gushing from the rock
in efficient quantities to meet the require
ments of the inhabitants and to supply the
channels thai f~ertilize the hanging gardnes
below.
These extensive gardens. spread along
the precipitous valley walls, are the most
beautiful feature Of Sheraizi. The whole
face Of the mountain side 10 a depth Of over
one thousand feet Is cut into a parallel series
Of lodges or terraces. Owing to the sharp
angle Of the SLOPE, the ledger are not over
ten TO twelve feet in width. The Inhabitants
would be glad Of greater depth of soil and
the garden spots have been enriched by a
large amount Of fertile earth brought to
them.
The steep mountain side il almost barren
except for the beautiful strips Of green
where vineyards, orchards and wheat
fields are bearing. These curious gardens
with their varied foliage and ripening
fruit. grain and vegetables form a very
attractive and pleasing sight Tn labor
bestowed on ia" terraces would have been
futile without an abundant supply II water
and IN this respect natur" has been prodigal,
the strips ~ cultivation being easily and
perpetually irrigated by the mountain
stream which IL led from one ledge 20
another and j. kept from Overlooking by
little emhAnkmeuts along the margin.
