Reunion at Old Homestead.

Glen Fern" the old homestead of the
Livezey family in the picturesque Wis
sahickon Ravine, is today MAY 30) the
scene of the gathering of about one
hundred of the descendants of Thomas
Livezey, reputed to be the first settler
along the Wissahickon creek.
While two centuries have passed since
Thomas Livezey made his home along
the Wissahickon, the family has grown,
and while widely separated each and all
have maintained the deepestinterest and
sentimental regard for the old Wissa-
hiclon homestead, so that today they
come from all over the country to COM
memorate the anniversary.
1t is the third annual reunion of the
descendants of Thomas Livezey, and the
family organization to be perpetuated.
The present officers are John B. Livezey,
Mt. Royal, New Jersey, president; B.
Frank Livezey, Yardley, Pa, treasurer;
and Maurice Livczey, Germantown,
secretary.
Thomas Livezev a member Of the
society of Friends, came to this country
in May, 1851, from Norton, Chester
county, England. He came over with
Captain William Markham, who after
wards became Penn's first lieutenant
governor. 1t was stipulated in the deed
of Glen Fern" that the rental shall be
increased one peppercorn and five pounds
English money! every time the property
is released.
Thomas Lively, third great grandson
of the original Thomas Livezey, was a
man of great prominence during the early
period of the country's history. He
served in the Pennsylvania Assembly,
consecutively from 1865 to 1771, with
the exception of one year. He was also
engaged in milling business and was one
of the first members of the American
Philosophical Society.
The old Livezey homestead is situated
in one of the most beautiful parts of the
Wissahickon ravine and commands a
landscape view of woodland, valley and
creek not to be surpassed. Despite its
advanced age the old homestead is yet
habitable and attractive. Its said that
William Penn was guestther and that
MANY prominent people visited there.
All the legends of the Wissahickon were
recounted at today's gathering. Tradi-
tions that have been handed down from
father to son, and from generation to
generation were revived Philadelphia
Bulletin.
Thomas Livezey, of Thomas Run, is
the great great-great grand nephew OF
the original settler. Born in Fox Chase.
Montgomery county, Pa, in 1889, his
father moved to Maryland when he
was about four or five years old.

The Timber Supply.

The forest service of our general govern
ment finds that every person in the United
States is using over six times much wood
as he would use if he were in Europe, and the
country as n whole consumes every year be-
tween three and four times more wood than
all of the forests of the Unites States GROWN
the meantime.
A study of the subject must lead directly to
the conclusion that the rate at which forest
products in the United States have been and
being consumed is far too lavish, and
that n timber famine must follow unless
steps are promptly taken to prevent waste in
use and to increase the growth rate of every
acre of forest In the United States.
Lest 1t might be assumed that the rapid
and gaining depletion of American forest re-
sources is sufficiently accounted for by the In
crease of population, it Is pointed out that
the increase In population since 1880 is bare
ly more than half the increase In lumber cut
in the same period. Two areas supplying
timber have already reached and passed their
maximum production-the Northeastern
States in 1870 and the Lake States In 1890
To-day the Southern States, which cut yellow
pine counting to one-third the tot al annual
lumber cut of the country, undoubtedly
near their maximum. The Pacific States will
soon take the ascendency. The State of
Washington within few years has come to
States in volume of cut.
There is no section where these truths ap-
ply with more force than here in Hartford.
There is no tract of virgin forest of any con-
siderable size in the county.-IEn.

JUNE RACES.

Owing to the rainy weather on Satur-
day, it became necessary to postpone
the intended races at the fair grounds,
not as the placard said, until the next
fair day." but until Monday, the 10th.
On Monday afternoon gathering of up
wards of 500 people assembled on the
grounds, partly for the enjoyment of the
proposed sport, and largely to save the
unnecessary riding for the politicians
who are seeking the suffrage of Hartford
voters next Saturday. 1t is needless to
say that the latter, representing both
parties, were present in force and got in
an immense amount of fine work
The races brought out a number of
good horses, but the spirits of true lovers
of sport were considerably dampened by
too studied handling on the part of the
drivers, the only merit of their jockeying
being to bleed the bookmakers.
In the pacing race, half mile heats, best
two in three, "Gambrilla" (Fulford) was
first; "B. G. Belle" q. Archer), second;
"Flossie b." wv. Shanahan) third. Time,

In Memorlam.

McNUTT.-In loving remembrance of my
1906, aged 80 years.
Gone but not forgotten.
Gone in the best of her days,
BHghtcd In womanhood's bloom,
Torn from the hearts that loVed her
To sleep in the silent tomb.
oh God, how mysterious and strange are
thy ways,
To take from us our sister In the best OF
her days.
Gone from earth, yes, gone forever,
Tear-dimmed eyes will gaze in vain;
We shall hear her voice, no, never,
NeVermore on earth again.
One mournful year has vanished.
Think l, while the teardrops start,
But the memory of my sister
Still Is fresh within my heart.
So bright and beautiful was the morning,
That our sister passed away,
She seemed to hear a voice calling,
Leave thy afflicted bed today"
So cheerfully she talked of dying.
Nor did she shrink at deaths cold look,
For she said the cold, dark river
Seemed to her but a little brook.
When her voice grew weak and feeble
And she no more on earth could sing,
Then she whispered, I'm going home to
die no more,
Soon with the angels will sing"
Life Is sad without her,
But her work on earth Is done;
Her trials now are ended,
Her heavenly crown is won.
o, chide us not for weeping
For death has chilled her brow;
She has gone from us to Heaven,
Our little band Is broken now.
But thus shall faiths consoling powers
The tears of love restrain.
Oh who that knew her suffering hours,
Could wish her back again?
We cannot tell who next may fall
Beneath the Christening rod;
One must be first, but let us all
Prepare to meet our God.
BY her sister,
ELSIE NJ. Boris,

BEL AIRS OPPORTUNITY

Mr.. J. T. Kopp, representing the York
Knitting Mills, which employ IT'S people
at their large factory in York, came to
Bel Air by appointment on Saturday
afternoon, where he conferred with
number of representative citizens, look
ing to the establishment of branch OF
his factory at this point The demands
on their home plant are so great, in some
cases the output being already sold for
year in advance, that the company has
fully decided to establish a branch either
at Delta or Bel Air. Mr.. Kopp does not
come as the ordinary manufacturer, ask
ing that liberal bonus be given them
for locating; he simply asks for an op-
portunity to rent suitable building at
of electricity and the necessary number,
say from twenty to forty female opera
tors. He states that skilled teachers will
be brought here, that the work is light
and attractive, that the wages after one
months apprenticeship should run from
SIS to $40 per week, and that there would
be no Objectionable features In any way
connected with the plant or the character
of work done. Females alone would be
employed, none under fourteen years of
age. The committee was most favora-
bly, impressed with the character of his
offer, and several meetings have already
been held and a large amount of pre-
liminary work done looking to meeting
his requirements. 1t would be no small
thing to have in our midst an enterprise
with fixed pay roll of about 81 900 per
month, which would mean desirable
occupation for those seeking such, and
home market for much of our raw
material. We hope at an early day to
be able to announce that the corporation
has decided to locate here

HAvRE DE GRACE MAYoRALrY CONTEST

A demurrer to the temporary injunc-
ton granted in the case of Isaac Hecht
against the Supervisors of Election by
which Mr.. Charles T. Wilson has been
restrained from exercising the functions
of mayor of Havre de Grace, to which
office he was elected on the sixth day OF
May, was argued by Mr.. Wilson's coun-
sci, P. Leslie Hopper and William H.
Harlan, on Monday, Mr.. Hecht being
represented by S. A. and F. R. Williams.
Mr.. Wilson's counsel argued that relief
could not be given in equity in the mat,
ter of contested elections, and that il
their contention that Mr.. Wilson was
eligible to the office holds good, the acts
of Mayor c. c. Pussy, who is holding
over pending a decision in the matter
will be illegal, and that much confusion
will follow.
The court has not yet announced its
| decision.
