UNIQUE DISTINCTION OF j. r
NECK OF MECkvlLLE, PA.
Postmaster Is Pooh-Bah of Only One
Man Power Community In the
Country-All Houses In the Vii
laee Owned by Him.

Meckville, Pain this northwestern
part Of Berks county, at the foot of
the Blue mountains, lives Jacob r.
Neck, who can boast the ownership of
an entire village, the only one-man-
power village in this country.
He conducts the post Office and It Is
named after him; the farmers bring
their milk every morning to the
creamery which Is run by the post
master; the village store is under the
same management, and, while the viii
lage is small, this mercantile establish
ment is one of the most enterprising
found in the country districts of Berks
county--50 feet square, three stories
high and packed full from cellar to
garnet with all sorts of goods, from
the tiny row of pins to grain drills
and harvesting machines and CONNER
cial fertilizer.
While the village does not boast a
hotel, the village owner has a whole
sale liquor store.
Besides the business part of town,
the village contains half dozen
houses, all owned by Mr.. Neck.
1t was established in 1886 by
Michael B. Myers, and in 1871 a
brother of the present proprietor be-
came part owner and the place was
called Meckville.
In those early days the business of
the place was tanning leather.
In 1879 Mr.. Meek, the present own
er, became proprietor of the entire
village and postmaster, and has been
holding the dual honor ever since.
The community is thickly settled,
and the young folks needed some en-
ployment other than work on the
large farms, and for months Mr.. Neck
studied how he could keep them In
the neighborhood, so one day he drove
half dozen stakes on one of his cor
ner properties and now 1t Is the site
of an enterprising shirt factory.
Meckville is near the Lebanon coun-
ty line, and across the border Mr.
Neck has operated a creamery and
canning establishment at Fredericks.

DREAMED HE WAS BLIND.
Next Day the Bridge Tender Suddenly
Lost His Sight.

New York.-Dreaming that he had
been stricken blind while at work
Thomas Pendergast, age 20, of Ho-
boken, employed as bridge tender at
the Lackawanna ferry. awoke sudden
ly while in bed and. finding it only a
dream, turned over and went to sleep
again.
In the morning he told his wife of
his strange dream, and she told him
not to worry. He also told his fellow
workmen, and they laughed at him.
Shortly before time to quit work the
other night, at seven o'clock, and while
he was winding the hawser about the
drum at the ferry, he became blind
suddenly as the crowds of commuters
were rushing for their trains.
His comrades were quickly at his
side in response to his terrified cry.
He was taken into the waiting-room
and a doctor summoned. Pendergast
was placed in cab and taken home,
where several doctors worked over
him all night in vain effort to restore
his sight.

Work Of the Antl.sulclde Bureau.

The report of the Salvation Army
anti-suicide bureau started in London
a year ago shows that 1,125 men and
80 women applied to the bureau dur
ing the last IL months.
Most of these belonged to the mid
die classes, and more than so per
cent. of the men attributed their dis
tress to financial embarrassment or
poverty, AID 81 per cent. to accidents.
sickness and other misfortunes.
Two-thirds of the women were suf-
fering from melancholia caused by
poverty, and the remainder from
drugs and drink. The bureau was
founded for the purpose of giving ad-
vice and encouragement, but no direct
financial aid. Its managers estimate
that about three-quarters of those who
applied were diverted from their pur-
pose.-Medical Record.

the projectiles is from $500 to 5000
feet a second, according to the will Of
the operator.
The gun works automatically. If
the operators were to place 2,000,0 900
balls in the magazine and turn on the

and take walk for an hour, confident
that while they were gone the gun
would continue to hurl bullets so
long as one was left in the hopper.
The plan of the inventor is to
mount the new gun on truck similar
to an automobile, to be run by q
hundred-horsepower motor. which
would give the carriage a speed of 60
miles an hour
There are to be two clutches on the
auto-one to start and stop the car

The same motor that runs the car
riage furnishes the power to fire the
gun, which can be worked while the
automobile is in motion, as well as

The inventors idea, he declares, Is
not to destroy life, but to place the
nation that uses his gun in such
position that no other power would
be so rash as to make war against the
one armed with such a formidable
weapon. He says that ten of his half
inch guns, firing in the aggregate 20,
100000 bullets an hour, would equal
the work of many regiments of infan-
try and sweep away an army of 200,-
900 men within 60 minutes, II only
one per cent. of the missiles found
human targets.
Danger of the capture of the gun,
he declares, would be reduced to the
minimum, because no enemy could
withstand the storm of bullets to get
near the piece, to say nothing of its
ability to get away at a speed of GO
miles an hour.
