WILKESBARRE, Pa, There is no
more disappointed woman in this town
at present than Mrs. Lydia Rentz of
Denville, who came here expressly for
the purpose of meeting the president,
when he came here to address the
Catholic Total Abstinnce Union and the
miners, but failed in her attempt to
come near enough to President Roose-
welt to shake hands with him. 1t was
her plan to bring her entire family
along and present all of them to the
president, but for obvious reasons that
plan was not feasible, owing to the
fact that it would nave been practi-
cally impossible to make room for her
one hundred and twelve descendants.
Mrs. RantZ has six children, thirty
five grand children, siXty-four great
grandchildren and seven great great
grandchildren. She is only eighty
seven years old, enjoys perfect health
and not only does all her housework
but also some very fine needle-work
IN her leisure times. Mrs. RantZ'S son
John is a great grandfather at the age
of sixty. His daughter, Mrs. Mary
Lloyd of Milton, is a grandmother at
the age of forty. She has two daugh
tiers, who We're each married when they
We're twenty years old and each has
children. James Workman, one of Mrs.
Rantz grandchildren, has eighteen
children, including three pair of twins
and one set of triplets.
Mrs. Rantz is the grandmother of one
pair of twins, great-grandmotner of
three pairs of twins and one set of
triplets, great aunt of two pairs of
twins; great-greataunt of two pairs of
twins and second cousin of one pair of
twins.

Chickamauga Park Ga, May 81
The United States government has here
in operation one of the largest acety-
lene gas plants in the world. The mill
tary post at the entrance of the histor-
ical Chickamauga battlefield where
thirty thousand Union and Confederate
soldiers were lost in the memorable
battle of Sept. 10 and 20, 1868, contains
about one hundred buildings, the
seventy-five principal ones of which are
lighted with acetylene. To accom-
plish this six and one-ha1f miles OF
mains and two miles of service pipes
are in use, while sixty-five street
lamps brilliantly illuminate the ave-
nues Of the post.
In 1903 the War Department In
stalled test acetylene plant at Fort
Meyer, Virginia. The results were
so gratifying and the superiority
of the illuminant so evident that the
government, March 90, 1904, placed
the contract for the Chickamauga
plant. In which every citizen of the
United States should have his pro
rata of pride.
But the government mas hoI coh
fined its acceptance OF acetylene to
this military post. Since becoming
satisfied OF the efficiency, superiority
and economical advantages of this
particular illuminant, the United
States has, installed a. number OF
plants in Indian schools and other gov
eminent institutions.
