 Called "lnspirationists."
 They are called 'Inspirationists' be- cause they believe in the continuity of inspiration. 1neir communism is simply a means for the better development of a spiritual life, and 1t is their belief that religion is the necessary foundation of communism, and consequently they claim that their own communism is an Fundamental ideas upon this subject bond which can unite men in true fellow ship @ If this is the fundamental doc Urine of a communistic society 1t will succeed.

(D Reason alone, without a religious and moral obligation, cannot bind men into a community which shall be lasting, harmonious or advantageous.

 There are eighteen hundred and fifty members, owning twenty-six thousand is what remains of that great revival almost two centuries ago.
 The history of these honest, God-fear- ing people is a tale of great suffering rlghtness, their piety, and their endur- ance will always command respect.
 The society had its origin in Hessia, Germany, in the eighteenth century, where they lived until religious persecu- ton compelled them to seek a home else where. They naturally looked to Amer ica. In 1S43 they purchased, at about $10 an acre, 5000 acres of land within six miles of Buffalo, N Y., and in that year the first village of a communistic nature was there laid out which they called Ebenezer. They encountered much diff ficulty with the Indians, who were en- ragged when they saw these people plant Ing and building After a residence of twelve years in the Empire State they had outgrown the available land, and as they felt that they were too much under the influence of the world near such a rapidly growing city, they removed in 1855 to their present location in Iowa, where they could practice the doctrines

After singing, a chapter Is read from the Bible, upon which any one who chooses may comment. The worship is dignihed. solemn, and deeply impressive. These religious exercises are held every evening. On Sundays there are three services, while on Wednesdays and Saturdays there Is an extra one making eleven during the week, which all are expected to attend.
 Advocate CeIibacy.
 The members advocate celibacy. They hold that bachelor is on a higher plane that he has a better chance of going to heaven. It Is considered no disgrace to be a spinster Their religion does not. court one of the members said: Ut is good to be married, but 1t is better to be single" They base this belief upon the teaching of the apostle Paul Spir- itually, the members of the society are divided into three classes. A bachelor is in the first class, and if he marries, he drops to the third. When a man marries he does not lose social prestige or any of his civil rights: he is simply loser spiritually. The trimming of the beard differentiates the three classes.

From Harper's Weekly.
 A well-known New York composer, who had long felt the need of rep utable firm of agents to undertake the disposal of his compositions, read re- gently the advertisement of a bureau which offered to place musical and other manuscripts with publishers. Their charges were fairly high, and the advertisement stated expressly that only work 'of the highest grade" was handled by the bureau. The composer, thinking that this was probably the op- portunity he had been looking for. sought the address given in the adver- tisement. Entering the offices of the concern, he found the manager, in his

No Need of Pensions.

When a new member joins the society his property Is entrusted to the man. agers. Should he at any time desire to leave the society his money is refunded, but without interest. Each member is entitled to free board and lodging and also to support and care in sickness and old age. They have, therefore no need of Carnegie pensions. Each member re- ing money, but as there are few oppor- tunities for spending 1t, this amount Is insignificant Credits and debts left by parents are assumed by the children.

Each vIl- lage has a shoemaker, tailor. harness maker blacksmith, baker. doctor, store keeper, etc. No cooking is done in the private houses. This is done in the kitchen houses." where the meals are served, each kitchen house" accommo- dating from twenty to thirty persons.

Houses Models of Cleanliness.

The stone and frame houses are models of cleanliness. There is not sign Of paint on any of the buildings. and this gives to the villages a somber appear ance. At Ebenezer they painted their houses, but now they believe that paint does not preserve the wood long enough to justify the additional expense. A typical Amana dwelling house Is covered with grape vines. Neither do they in- sure their property for the premiums would amount to more than the losses by fire.
 The members appear happy. There seems to be a sort of spiritual satisfac- tion upon their faces. To stranger there is striking resemblance among them This may be due to the circum- stances that for several generations they have intermarried within the society so that now they are all more or less re- lated They think and work in the same manner, sharing each others Joys and sorrows as members of one large family They have the same quaintness Of ap- parel There is, therefore, under these conditions little chance for the develop ment of Individuality, and there must naturally arise a uniformity of type.
 Their religion forbids them to turn away anyone suffering from want, and as a result tramps take advantage of this charity by making the rounds of the seven villages.
 Agriculture is one of the chief indus tries of the Inspirationsts, but they have two large grist mills and sell great quan- titles of flour annually They own and operate calico print mills. Their calico ''blue print and woolen goods have a national reputation for their excellent quality, and the following expression has become proVerbial Colony goods, full width. yard wide.'

Each new grave Is made by the side of the last one. and the rows are slowly filled, the different mem- bers of a family being separated by the years between their deaths.

HAVE SOME QUEER BELIEFS
BY CHARLES BuNDY WILSON.


 The Amana society has won its big law suit. In the heart of Iowa, twenty miles from Iowa City there Is com munity of seven villages so foreign in traditions, manners, dress and speech that it Is really like piece of Germany transplanted upon free American soil. This quaint place is the home of the Amana society, or the Community of True Inspiration. Their religion, their habits and their ideas on marriage are attracting more than usual attention at present because their very existence has been at stake.
 This community, which has so long lived the simple life," has been threat ened with dissolution by law; it was all legged that the peculiar religious dogmas of the society have been used to free it's members from the burdens of citizenship, and that It's communism was a guise be- hind which to acquire large property holdings. The legal battle was a big one. Both attorneys formerly occupied the bench before which the case was tried The society was defended by ex- Congressman M. J. Wade The funda- mental questions were: (a) Has the Amana society exceeded it's legitimate corporate powers in carrying on it's sec ular occupations? (b) Is the Amana so- ciety obnoxious to a sound public policy? The judge of the district court has de- cided in favor of the society. If the case is appealed, as 1t probably will be. 1t promises to become one of the most interesting and most celebrated in the United States. In all the history of fed eral and state litigation but five cases have been found relating to societies holding property in community. Not one of these is a direct precedent for the Amana case.
 Attracted Wide Attention.
 The case attracted wide attention and resembled a Mormon investigation by a Senate committee, except that the Amana people were not charged with any crime, social or otherwise. It presented to the courts for the first time the question whether communism Is a speculative ven ture And as this society Is the largest communistic settlement in the world, its fate was watched with interest by the whole country. Outside of Amana, the only strictly communistic settlements of
