Indians, where they built their first vii
lage and called it Ebenezer. More than
800 followers came over in the course
of the next year or two, and being an
noyed by the crowding of population
all about them, they decided to move.
The site of their present location was
selected by the sagacious leaders, and
the community gradually moved there,
and In 1855 the first village was incor-
porated and named Amana, which
means Remain true"
But the special matter Of interest at
this time is not the peculiarities Of their
belief, or their simple habits, but the
fact that the younger generations grow
ing up in the community are becoming
FESTIVE under the restraints thrown
around them. They feel the throb Of
the twentieth century life, and want to
mingle with it. This is causing the
elders great concern, and the older and
devout members of the community are
expectantly watching for the coming Of
a prophet who shall reveal to them a
solution of the problem which con-
fronts them.
The last prophet was woman-and
by the way equal rights for women pre-
vail, and they exercise the right Of suf-
frage in the elections for community and
church officers-by the name of Barbara
lehman, a poor, ignorant girl born in
Lower Elsass, in 1875. She was one of
the first to be inspired after the death Of
Jonathan Rock, the founder of the
faith. She came to this country with
the little flock, and continued to proph-
ecy until her death, in 1883. Since then
the community has been watching for
the coming of another prophet.
Compulsory education prevails in the
community, and as it is the unwritten
rule that he who will not work shall not
eat. All musical instruments are ex-
cluded, and God is worshiped with the
voice only. They are opposed to war,
do not believe in oaths, and do not offer

OUR ROYAL VISITOR
ABBAs H., KHEDIvE OF EGYPT,
COMING TO SEE US.
Something Of the History Of the Young
and Interesting Moslem Ruler Of
Africa-Ascended the Throne
at Seventeen.

A foreigner of more than passing in
terest who will visit this country this
summer is Abbas H., khedive of Egypt.
He has already left Alexandria on his
way to America, but is travelling by way
of Constantinople, where he will pay q
state visit to the sultan, who claims suz-
erinity over Egypt, and who is head Of
the Moslem religion, of which Abbas IL.
Is a devout follower. From Constanti-
nople the khedive will journey to Paris
and London, spending some little time
in each of these capitals, and from Lon
don will sail for New York, where he will
be welcomed with considerable cere-
mony by both government and world s
fair officials
OF the various crowned heads of the old
world but few are of more interest than
Abbas II. Ascending the throne at the
age of II, he found waiting for him many
difficult problems. His country was
looked upon by France, England and
Turkey as legitimate prey, and the three
powers were quarreliAg over it's proper
division. Under such conditions in the
early part OF his reign he made some mis-
takes, due to the advantage taken of his
youth and inexperience by advisers who
were eager that he should sacrifice his
interests to their personal ends, yet on
the whole he has turned out wonderfully
we'll, and commands greater degree Of
respect, both at home and abroad, than
any other ruler of Egypt since Mehemet
Ali, the founder of the dynasty.
The position of the young khedive, who
boasts that he has gazed upon the mid
night sun from the north cape, but has
never made the ascent of the pyramid,
is to say the least peculiar. Theoreti-
cally he is subject to the suzerainty of
the sublime porte, as far as Egypt
proper Is concerned, though sovereign
of Nubia and of the Soudan, which, while
claimed by the sultan as provinces Of his
empire, are nevertheless regarded by the
great powers as distinct therefrom.
Abbas, moreover, pays annual tribute to
the Ottoman government for Egypt
proper, although he bears the title Of
king of Egypt" conferred as an heredi-
tary dignity upon his grandfather Ismail
by the porte. Yet the sultan's authority
does not extend over Egypt in reality,
and political fugitives from Constanti-
nople are in safety from pursuit on the

A CURIOUS SECT
VISIT TO PROSPEROUS AMANA
COMMUNITY OF IOWA.
Their Simplicity Of Life and Peculiar
Beliefs - Rigid Separation
from the World Is
Enforced.

A simple, honest, devout people
known as Inspirationists are to be found
in Iowa. At a most picturesque and
productive spot on the Iowa river, not
many miles from Iowa City, five villages
Of these people thrive under the care
full leadership Of the 80 elders OF the
community. Everything is held in COM
mon. There is one store in each village,
from which supplies are obtained and
everything used in the community Is
made or raised there. There are COM
mon kitchens at which all cat the SIM
pie but wholesome fare provided,
they salute each other as brother and
sister, and practice the Christian
graces. While the home Is as private
as anywhere in America, there is COM
mon interest which draws them together
as one great family. They believe that
religion should be of the heart and not
in the outward show, and wear the SIM
pie apparel of old Germany, from which
country the sect came in 1912.
Driven out by persecution, they came
to America under the leadership OF
Christian Metz. George Weber, William
Noe and Gottlieb Alderman. They first
went to Buffalo and soon secured part

part of the Ottoman authorities from the
moment that they set foot on Egyptian
territory. Moreover, the various foreign
governments are represented in Egypt
by distinct diplomatic corps, who are
accredited directly to the khedive, with
out any regard to the sultan, and, while
the latter's firman of investiture still
plays an ornamental role in the cere-
monies in connection with the advent to
the throne of the khedive, yet it Is no
longer considered indispensable, and
when at the time of the accession of
Abbas II. the sultan purposely delayed
it's issue, with the object of forcing him
to submit to conditions calculated to i'm
pair the autonomy of Egypt, Lord
Cromer caused the sublime porte to be
informed through the British embassy at
Constantinople that unless the firmaD
was sent at once Abbas would be estab-
lished on his fathers throne without it..
which, of course, led to its prompt dis
patch.
These complicated relations between
Egypt and Turkey are rendered still
more intricate by the fact that the land
of the Nile has been occupied by British
troops ever since the bombardment of
Alexandria in 1882, and that Egypt,
though not de jure, is, nevertheless, de
facto, subject to the protectorate Of Eng
land, which, among other advantages.
possesses this-that it serves to shield
Abbas from the oppression on the part Of
the sultan and from the badgering and
persecution of the foreign powers which
constituted so obnoxious feature Of the
reign of his grandfather, Khedive Ismail.

more than 1OO,OOO,OOO tons, or nearly
one-third, while Illinois is second in the
list of states with about 35, 000, 900 tons.
The story of coal in this country is an
interesting tale. With countless mill
lions of tons of it under their very feet
the people were unaware of its real
value until some years after the estab-
lishment of the republic. The first use
of coal, however, antedates the revolu-
ton by some years. Jesse Fell, who
first applied the fuel to the purpose of
heating house, learned Of its value at
the shop of Obadiah and Daniel Gore,
who utilized it on forge in their
Wilkesbarre blacksmith shop. In the
same city the old Fell tavern is still
standing, and visitors are always shown
the crate in which coal was first burned
as heating fuel. This crate was first
lighted in 1908 by Jesse Fell, the pro-
prietor of the tavern. In letter to his
cousin, Jonathan Fell, which is now in
the possession of the Historical society,
of Pennsylvania, at Philadelphia, Jesse
Fell writes that in 1770-71 coal was used
in the Wilkesbarre blacksmith shop
of Obadiah and Daniel Gore and he then
continues: Accordingly, in the month
of February, 1908, l procured a crate
made of small iron rods ten inches in
length and ten inches in height, set it up
in my common fireplace, and on first
lighting it found it to burn exceedingly
well. This was the first successful at
tempt to burn our stone coal in crate,
so far as my knowledge extends"
Records are to be found of the at
tempts to burn coal for manufacturing
purposes.
1t is historical fact that in 1903 the
city of Philadelphia bought 100 tons

prevent him from getting all the bene-
fits to be gained by riding forward and
crouching. In the opinion of many
trainers and owners the position of the
jockey in modern racing shortens the
life of the tendons Of the fore-legs, but
they can't win unless they put up jock
eys who ride that way. Before 1877 rae
ing in this country was chiefly at repeat
ed long distances, four-mile heats being
the favorite race. The courses were q
mile around, and horses were trained
as well as raced on them, and ran their
races almost mechanically. Long, slow
work under heavy clothing was the sort
of preparation both horse and rider got,
and the best rater, rather than the
fastest horse won. With the Inaugural
ton of Jerome Park shorter distances
and English jockeys were introduced.
One Of the first of these, William Hay
ward, created great sensation by wait
ing till near the finish before making
his effort, and coming with a rush.
Since that time distances raced over
have been made shorter and shorter,
races have increased enormously in
value and the volume of betting on them
has assumed vast proportions. The
business of carrying on race meetings
developed so much competition that, un-
til about seven years ago, all ideas per-
tanning to horsemanship, sportsmanship
or the improvement of the horse or rider
were lost sight of in the effort to de-
velop those accessories of racing from
which the greatest revenue could be OBJ
tanned.
The outcome of all this was conditions
that called for quick break and short
burst of high speed on the part of the
horse, and forward, hustling style of
riding on the part of the jockey. These
are the conditions that have led to the
modern seat, aided by the light standard
Of weight brought about by the compete
ton referred to between the associa-
lions, which induces them to embody in
the conditions of their advertised races
many fancied advantages in the way OF
allowances"

of anthracite for use in the pumping
works, but the engineers, not knowing
how to burn it, broke it up to gravel the
walks in the yard. In 1914 two "arks"
loads were sold at the falls of the Skuyl-
kill for $21 a ton. A morning was wasted
in futile attempts to burn this coal, and
at noon the employer and wokmen, dis
couraged at their ill luck, shut up the
furnace and went to dinner. On their
return they were astonished to find a
roaring fire, the furnace itself being in
danger of melting. From that day dates
the successful use of anthracite in Amer
lea.
The growth in the coal tonnage of this
country has been phenomenal; it has
distanced the growth of population, and
one need but take into consideration
a few facts in this regard. From 1890
to 1890 the anthracite tonnage increased
at the rate of 25.76 per cent. for the
decade. The bituminous tonnage in the
anne period increased 1O4.64 per cent,
While population had increased POST
per cent.
What this increase in production has
been during the last half century is
shown by the following table, taken
froy,, a recent government reDOrt:

to Australia and New Zealand, where
he will give exhibitions and compete
in 1OO-yard and shorter sprint races
throughout the island colony. Duffy's
foreign itinerary has him scheduled to
make his first appearance at the Eng
lish championships on July 2. Then he
will exhibit and compete in the various
county meets in England, Scotland and
Ireland, later crossing to the continent
for a short stay. Arriving in Australia
the latter part of August, he expects to
compete in the national championships
at Sydney on September 1. During the
remainder of that month he will make
a tour of the various colonies, similar
to that of the counties in Great Britain.
1t is said that when he completes his
competition in Australia it will be his
final appearance as an amateur, and that
he will retire permanently at that time.

Fred Kramer, the well-known cyclist,
