comes to mind, remarks Casters Mag
azine, the apt remark made by some
one concerning certain steam ham
mer, that It seemed to him much like
an earthquake on stills. Steam ham
mer foundations have, indeed, proved
difficult things to deal with in many
instances, owing to the particularly
trying conditions involved in the oper-
alton of such piece of apparatus. In
erecting the 125-ton steam hammer Of
the Bethlehem Steel company several
years ago-the largest hammer in the
world, by the way-a foundation about
sixty feet square was prepared, and
piles were driven closely over the
whole area. The piles were covered
over with timbers thirty-four inches
square and on top Of these were put
steel beams about thirty-five feet long,
and each weighing something like
forty tons. On top Of these there was
more cross timbering, and then the
anvil block was put on, weighing about
1900 tons. After running the hammer
for a short time the foundation went
down eight or ten inches, and, unfor-
tunately. did not go level, which made
matters worse. John Fritz, under
whose supervision the work was done.
in speaking Of 1t some time ago, said
that he thereupon took out everything
down to the piles, leveling the tounda-
tiea up again. and put In 4 2-foct thick

PETER ARMSTRONG
AND FOLLOWERS

those whom he had summoned to him
from all over the country he began the
building of his great tower.
The Work Begun.
People fiocked to his enterprise from
New York, Vermont, Connecticut, Wis
consin, Michigan, Massachusetts,
Maine Florida and Pennsylvania. Hun
dreds met with him in the valley of
Glen Sharon, above which rises the
mountain upon which he intended to
place his tower, and the work of build
ing the tower was begun. Men came to
him with their wives and their fami-
lies and populous community sprang
up. 1t was figured by some that the
tower would be completed on the for
tieth day, but when the day came AMI
nothing more than the foundation
couraged, especially after they waited
all day for help to come from above
and none appeared.
The people returned to their homes
and for a short time lived in hopes of
divine help, but at length believing
more than ever that material tower
was needed they set to work again
upon the structure Why work was
stopped upon the building is not
known, but it is known that while his
followers were working Armstrong
was trying to solve the problem of per-
petual motion.
Celestia Founded.
Finally he left Glen Sharon and with
his followers moved to a place a few
miles away where he established the
city of Celestia. They built a house
which they named halfway house
for Gods people" By this time Arm
strong had more followers, who flock
ed to him at Celestia, the new sacred
ground. Here he bought four square
miles Of ground and decided it to God.
This deed is on file at LaPorte. Pa.
In order to advertise that there was
such place as Celestia Armstrong be-
gan the publication of monthly pa
per- He called his paper the Day Star
of Zion. 1t set forth the advantages
of the new community and pointed
out the fact that Celestia was most
eligible place to live in, as on the last
day-which was near at hand-when
all the rest of the world should perish,
the people of Celestia would be saved.
All other land was to be destroyed
except those four square miles for
which Armstrong had given a deed to
the Lord.
Second Temple Begun.
1t was as late as 1880 that they be-
gan the second attempt to build a
structure which should reach unto
heaven. This time it was to be tenn
pie with tower on top. The founda-
tions of the temple were laid, and they
inclose three acres beyond the founda-
tions.
A few years passed and one day old
Peter on getting up from dinner fell
dead while on the way to the water
ing trough. Soon after his wife died
The taxes on the four acres of land fell
due and no one paid them and the
land was sold. The old mans eldest
son, who still lives at Celestia, bought
the property on which he conducts
the only industry of the place-a saw
mill. Strange and weird as were Arm
tsrong's ideas, it is certain that he was
sincere in them, for he devoted to them
every cent that he possessed.

Senator Teller on Philippine Question.

Senator Teller, of Colorado, while adj

concerning the Filipinos:

OF an American audience, will any SEN
ator rise here in his seat and affirm
that IL the inhabitants of the Philippine
Islands or any large number of them
be people in the sense in which we
use the word, in which it is used In his

our great Declaration of Independence.

rightfully use our vast power to crush
them out, to subject them to our will,

glory or by declaring that where the

May BE a White Elephant.

The Supreme court of the United
States has under advisement cases in
volving great issues. Upon its decisions
depend the administration policies
toward Porto Rico and the Philippines.
The cases are causing the admini-
stration great anxiety and are holding
up all the proposed legislation for the
Philippines.
Upon the decisions will depend
whether the present policy can be pur-
sued, or whether there must be an
abrupt reversal of the entire policy of
the government in dealing with the
insular possessions.
The cases now pending involve the
whole question of the power of the gov
eminent to impose duties upon COM
meree between the United States and
the territory held by the United States
outside the boundary Of any state. Some
OF the cases involve the constitutions
aIity OF the present Porto Rican act
and others the power of the president
to assess sneb duties.
The decision will, therefore, deter
mine the power OF congress to enact
special tariff legislation for The Philip.
pines. and will, further, determine the
power of the president to continue the
collection OF tariff taxes in the island.
under his military authority.
The NEWS is not surprised that the
administration is anxious. yea nervous
over the matter. II the court should
hold the present tariff laws uncon-titu
tonal the Philippines may prove q

NOMINATION OF SENATOR'S
IN STATE CONVENTIONS.

1t is with parionable pride that The
United States senator at the Pucatello
state convention and to the election of
that nominee by the legislature in joint
assembly at Boise on the 10th inst.
The prompt action of the legislature
commends the wisdom OF the con-
yention.
The NEWS is all the more proud OF
the action of the convention and of the
legislature because it was the first pa
per in .he state to move in that direc-
ton. aud its course has been fully en-
dorsed by the convention, the people at
the polls, and by the legislature in joint
assembly.
Those familiar with the troubles of
other legislatures Of the state in elect
tions piled up in the way of needed
legislation for weeks and weeks, and
who have witnessed the promptness of
the present legislature in elect.ns tie
convention nominee cannot withhold
their endorsement of the timely move
ment of THE NEWS and OF the action
OF the two assembled bodies. That we
were right the convention said so. and
the voters at the polls in November and
the joint assembly in session at Boise
added their unqualified approval. The
nomination of senators in state conven-
tions will become the popular way be-
cause it is the nearest to AN election by
direct vote of the people.
