DWINDLING COLONY.
PASSING OF A QUEER SECT IN
STATE OF PENNsYLvANIA.
Once Prominent Factor In Farming
Region We're the "Econo-
mites" Now But Four
in Number.

Few people know that along the Ohio
river, in the state OF Pennsylvania, there
once existed sect that had many pc
cuIiar laws to govern its people and that
out few of them remain, and in the place
where once they thrived at farm labor
and by grape-growing there is now des-
tined to be large manufacturing town,
with belching stacks of smoke from the
factory buildings.
Years ago, when Pennsylvania was
still a new state, says Cincinnati re-
port, there came down the Ohio river
in skiff man who founded the society
known as the Economics.
The spot he selected for his settlement
Is considered the most beautiful place
along the Ohio. Soon others came and

years the population had grown to sew

Peculiar laws were laid down for the
government of the people and also in re-
gard to the management of the affairs of
the little city.
owners Of houses and lots were given
orders to build their homes even with
the street line, and no doors or windows
were to be allowed on the front side.
All entrances were to be on the side
and the front was to remain one blank
wall. All of them were either farmers
or grape-growers
They had no money OF any kind. nor
did they need it, for stores were provided
by means Of which the people were sup
piled with the necessaries of life with
out cash. Should they desire anything
in the way OF groceries or clothing they
would go to the store and procure the
same.
All the products OF the farms and vine
yards were disposed OF by the overseer.
and the funds so accruing were placed
in the treasury.
In this way the village thrivsd for
years and many millions Of dollars were
left to those who stayed In until the set
Element broke up.
1t was against the rules Of the sect
for anyone to marry and should one fail
to abide by this rule he was promptly
banished from the settlement and ex-
cluded from the society.
Within the last 25 years. however,
those who were young grew old and died
while others removed to other parts of
the country, either because of their dis
gust at the laws laid down for their gov
eminent or from having overstepped the
rules and having been banished.
Now the society is almost extinct. only
one man and three women having re-
NAMED true to the customs and beliefs
until the last few months.
The man, who was considerably
younger in years, secured the signatures
of the old women to documents. by
which, in consideration that he cares for
them until the end Of their days, he has
come in possession of all their interests
in the settlement
The large tract Of land was sold to a
real estate company Of the Monongahela
valley and in time portion of it was
resold to the American Bridge combine.
A consolidation OF all its plants ia
aimed at and the little village will soon
be matter Of history, ard in its place
will be thriving factories sending
their output to all parts of the world.

A STRENUOUS PROTEST.
Portsmouth Lodge of Royal Arcanum
Demands Action.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PORTSMOUTH, Va, July S.-One OF the
most strenuous protests that has been put
UP by any council of the Royal Arcanum
in connection with the present controversy
was that of Ocean Council of this city,
which demanded al meeting held tonight
that an extraordinary session of the Su-
perior Council of the order be held at once
to consider the protests that have been
lodged by the subordinate councils against
the increase in rates of assessment.
The members of Ocean Council will not
attempt to dictate to the Supreme Council
or to any of the other authorities of the
order, but 1t will make a vigorous state
ment of its position. That position is that
the Supreme Council has exceeded its au-
thority, has brought the stability of the
order into question. and should resign.
II am opposed to one-man rule" said a
prominent Arcanumite this morning.
when one-man rule takes the gulse of
supreme council that council should vol,
unfairly resign, or should be forced to
do So"
This is the spirit that animates most of
the councils in this section, but 1t Is be-
lieved that the resolution of Ocean Council.
however, will be the first concrete state
ment of this position that has been made
by any of the southern councils.

The members of the order In Virginia
are outspoken IN their conviction that IL

This, it is held, would have been equitable

pickering and all the resulting danger to
the order.
Those members who are drawing out at
this time, without waiting to see the result
of the fight are doing wrong, said

ought to stay in and see the thing through.

Watching the Time Ball

''Hully gee. fellers. Look at dat crowd
in front of de Star offs rubberneckin' up
de avenu Wonder what deys got dere
blinkers on?"
The hour was about noon and the speaker
was street gamin whose attention had
been attracted to several people standing
in groups along the avenue, each holding
a watch and gazing intently off into the
distance.
A stranger in Washington, and in fact
many old residents OF the city might think
this proceeding peculiar, but 1t is a daily
occurrence, and one perfectly familiar to
the initiated.
They watch the time ball on the War De-
partment building which each day at ex-
actly IL o'clock announces to all within
sight that the hour of noon has arrived.
and thousands of watches given a fresh
start In their attempt to chronicle the sec
onds, minutes and hours that go heeting
by: while there are others that pat them
selves on the back and say what great
watch they own.
Each day at noon from the War De-
partment signal service, there Is flashed
to each of Uncle Sans possessions the ex-
act correct time at noon. This makes con-
nection by wire, and all the clocks on the
line are correctly set automatically. In
connection with this service and for the
benefit of those who are not in touch with
the clocks in this city, a ball is hoisted
on a pole a short while before noon each
day on the roof of the War Department
building that all who see 1t may regulate
their watches as 1T is released exactly at
the noon hour.
Made of Copper.
The time ball is made of very thin sheet
copper. stretched over a light framing of
hickory wood 1t Is thirtysix inches in
diameter, and it's drop is twenty-one
feet 1t may be seen from Fort Washing
ton and Mount Vernon, and Is also plainly
visible from Fort Myer and Arlington. Its
height above the ground is III feet, and
above tide-level 21S1a feet. The pole on
which it drops is in line with the center of
Pennsylvania avenue, New York avenue
18th street and F street, and can De seen

to the east of the Capitol, where the view

tude II degrees. 30 minutes and 1911 Sec
onds west The ball is hoisted by Mr..
Mccartney, an assistant engineer, five min
utes before noon, at which time teegraphic
signals at half-minute intervals come from
the observatory. and these continue up to
the time the ball drops. When the ball Is
| hoisted to its place near the top of the pole
/ 1t engages an automatic fastening, which Is
released by a trigger operated by an cleo
t tro-magnet. This magnet Is excited by a
current of electricity the circuit being
closed by the standard clock at the observ-
atory. The clock pendulum beats seconds,
and It's pendulum touches little basin of
mercury at each swing. There are two
wires between the observatory and the
time-ball system. one to be used In case
the other should be broken or grounded.
Notwithstanding this, severe weather some
times puts both conductors out of order.
The time ball was made in the State, War
and Navy building about eighteen years
ago, when Chief Engineer Williamson Of
the navy was superintendent. The first
ball was of canvas. but enterprising SOU
was necessary to make repairs almost con-
tinuous Then a sheet copper ball was
substituted but the vandals still found out
how to clip morsels from its surface. Now
to protect the ball the door in the roof Is
kept locked.
The time ball Is one of the best known
and most popular institutions of the ma
tional capital Its operation Is carefully
observed every day by thousands Of people
of all sorts and conditions. who regulate
their tme-pieces by its movements. They

usually gather in groups at the same places
every day and attend seriously to the bust

avoided until after the signal has been
given, when there Is general exclama-
ton Of either joy or chagrin, according to
the record made by each individual time
piece. These daily watchers are not wholly
confined to the streets, but may be seen
also at the windows of buildings command
ing view of the big black ball. Once ac-
quired the habit of watching the tlme-ball
becomes a duty and a pleasure and Is apt
to continue indefinitely.
In addition to giving the time signal to
the general public outside, the same cleo

Cut His Wife's Throat on Fourth of
July.

Robert Mann, alias Ford alias Tince.
who has been wanted by the police since
the night Of the Fourth of July, was taken
into custody by Officer j. F. Sullivan of the
tenth precinct station about o'clock last
evening. Mann was returning to his home,
which Is near the east end of P street
bridge, when he was sighted by the officer
and soon after placed under arrest. When
he saw that he was captured, Mann gave
himself up quietly. He was taken to the
tenth precinct station house. where he will
be held until Monday, when the case will
be heard in the Police Court. He will have
10 answer to a charge of assault with
dangerous weapon.
1t Is alleged by the police that Mann's
Wlfe left their home to celebrate early in
the day, and when she did not return late
at night Mann started out in search for
ner. They met on the end of the P street
BRIDGE and as the result of the discussion
which arose Mann, 1t is alleged, pulled a
razor from his pocket and cut his wife's
throat from ear to ear. Her screams at
tracted some people in the vicinity, and
when they learned her condition she was
sent to the Emergency Hospital, where she
was treated. 1t is expected now that she
VIII recover. Mann made his escape.
Mann is said by the police to have been
in their hands before, and served eight
