ONE MAN TO GET IT, ALL.
Millions Amassed in Seventy Years of Toil and Fasting by
 "Economites.

At Economy, Beaver county Pa. che world may learn what becomes ot the millions which fasting enthusiasts amass. After much litigation the wealth of the Harmony Cooperative society-commonly called the "Econo. mite soclety"-has passed practically into the hands of one man, John Duss the bandmaster. This wealth, says Public Opinion. is admitted by Duss to be s5.0o0,000. By others it is placed as high as s20,00O,OO0 or even s30, 100000.
 The Economies" under the leader. ship or George Rapp, settled In Beaver county about 70 years ago. They be. lieved that Rapp had divine attributes ana that when they died they Would all ascend into heaven iA asPqry with him. Tn this expectation they agreed to remain c"libates and this rule re- mained In force after Rapp's death had undeceived them. These "mpnks and nuns" by frugality and industry gained possession of a large tract of fertile farming land on which they employed 50 laborers. Their property has always been in the hands of their leaders. Honesty and consciehce, have been the only safeguards they a1ave had against being robbed.
 As the wealth of the society has in- creased the number of its members has decreased. Ten years ago there were alive 30. To-day, perhaps, death has still further decimated their ranks. The aged survivors now see at their head a worldly man, who hot only has disregarded the rule req4ir. ing celibacy. but goes about the ooan. try directing band and managing plays. The 70 years of toll and fast. Ing of an entire community have been for thisi
