THE HUNGER FOR ANCESTRY

l At the annual reunion of the Rockefeller family a person commis-
 stoned to trace their family history in Europe made report that the ances- tors of the Rockefeller family in southern France were barons and that the German branch, which has heretofore been considered the orig inal stock, is merely an offshoot of lthe French family. They are traced Ito $50 A. D. John D. Rockefeller was not the original money-makir, as the secretary found in France coins | of the year 1500 A. D., made by the titled Rockefellers and bearing their names. He has produced the coat of arms, which consists of two rocks on red fields and two horns on white fields, with helmet for a crest, and a Latin motto which, being translated means, None more faithful" But he has discovered a still older Rocke- feller coat of arms, dated 1050 A. D. having for it's motto, Honor remains with me; it is sufficient"
 MT Sturgeon at one time satirized in his pulpit the fearful efforts of wealthy people to look up their an- cestry. He told the congregation that he had been led to look up his ancestry, and found that he was de- scended from a gardener who robbed his master and lost his situation. A reporter called to ascertain the name of the gardener, and he told him that he could not give him his last name, but his first name was Adam. After Lincoln was elected to the presidency a sure thing" pedigree searcher called upon him and asked to be em- ployed to look up his ancestry. and finally stated that even if he could not find anything much he could certainly give him coat of arms, as he was doing for many other per- sons, and asked Lincoln what design he would like. MT Lincoln said he did not know whether he would have anything of the kind done, but if it were done it would perhaps be we'll to have it made to represent a man in his shirt sleeves, s almost all his ancestors spent the most of their lives in that dress. This is a line of in- yestigation in which anything can be found if the expenses and salaries required can be guaranteed Chris tian Advocate.

NO WATER FAlGlE
Superintendent EssRs6y is Wol
 Alarmed.

Superintendent Kennedy h not very much alarmed over the nlk about water famine. This after noon the water Is 2S feet below the dam at the Branch. but between what there is there and East Noun tain MT Kennedy thinks the supply will hold out until We have some rain. The East Mountain service is now supplying several portions of the city hitherto fed from the Branch so that in great many cases people don't know which is which. Sometimes, perhaps 1t is a ffttle of both and those who have had 1t this way say that 1t is really cure all and explains why we have so little sickness in Waterbury this summer.

founders and sponsOrs-and tins IS
true of the Orthodox Jewish Home
for Friendless and Working Girls at
53rd and Ellis avenue, Chicago.
Beautiful for situation and well
equipped for it's beneficent work it is
the personality of Superintendent
Feuerlicht which gives the institution
it's real "home" spirit.
1t is interesting to trace the steps
bv which successful man has climb
ed. There is encouragement and in
spiration in it.
Rev. j. Feuerlicht was born in
Hungary in March, 1857. Under the
guidance of his father who was one
of the most learned men in the cOun
try. he received his early education.
At the age of thirteen he was sent to
the Yeshiba where he studied the
Talmud and Hebrew literature. In
1873 he entered the Rabbnical School
at Pressburg. which is recognized as
the highest seat of Theological learn
ing in Hungary. Here he passed the
prescribed course of studies, gradual
ing in 1878. He came to America in
May. 1882. and remained in New
York two years. He secured his first
position as Rabbi in Congregation
Moses Montefiore of Chicago, and
served till 1890 in this capacity. when
he accepted call from much larger
congregation Coates of Prayer) IN
Boston. Mass. In 1893 he was elected
Rabbi of the influential Congregation
Onshe Chesed of Scranton. Pa. His
last position as Rabbi was the Con-
grcgation Bnai Israel of Augusta. Ga.
where he remained till 1903 when he
quit the ministry with the determina
ton to devote the remainder of his
life to Institutional work in which
both he and his wife manifested re-
markable efficiency. For the last four
years he has been superintendent of
the Orthodox Jewish Home for the
Aged in Chicago. Notwithstanding
the many difficulties and problems
that presented themselves he has been
very successful in his labor and under
his management the Home has grown
and prospered.
Those who know Rev. Feuerlicht
confidently expect greater successes
and more distinguished service in his
new work.

Irritation Stories.

At the Sixteenth National 1rriga-
ton Congress. Albuquerque, Sept. 20
Oct. 10. the story will be told Of the
great irrigation projects which the
United States Reclamation Service
has undertaken in the West. This
will be the special part of F. Fl. New
ell and c. J. Blanchard. The people
of the Santa Fc Southwest will be
particularly interested in the projects
located in the FIVE great valleys, viz:
the Arkansas Valley of Kansas and
Colorado: the Pccos Valley of South
eastern New Mexico: the Rio Grandc
Valley of New Mexico and Texas: the
Salt River Valley of Arizona: and the
Colorado Valley of Arizona and Cali
fornia. The seven projects OF these
valleys will cost more than twenty
million dollars. and will reclaim five
hundred and eighteen thousand acres
of land. Seventy million dollars is
the grand total of money which the
United States Reclamation Service is
spending for irrigation projects in the
entire West. These projects contem-
plate the reclamation of two million
acres of valley and mesa lands. Some
of them have been completed. notably
the Carlsbad and Hondo projects OF
the Pccos Valley of New Mexico. An
other. the Salt River Valley project
of Arizona. will be completed within
a short time.

County Ticket
TEN WHO MADE the TICKET.

The student of human nature can
| tell at a glance whether he is with
in range OF a Republican or Democrat
ic convention. He does not have to
| watch the transparencies or even lis
ten to the speeches. The psycholo-
gy OF the crowd will make it appar-
cnt.
Yesterday the Republican state con-
| vcntion was in session in Denver. In
every essential it was the antithesis Of
the Democratic gathering that held
and most of four nights. bringing
forth from the travail heterogcn-
cous ticket that satisfied no one. The
Republican gathering was homogcn-
cous and business like.
Republicanism stands for good
times. good will. good feeling and the
delegates who made up the conven-
tion. Individually and as a whole be-
tokcncd what the party stands for.
These men and women had stake
in Colorado: they had worked for its
growth: they looked and felt pros
porous. They had no kick coming" !"
the Colorado sky was roscate; they
were individualists not paternalists.
They did not look to this admins
tration or that government to save
ious to live and let live. All that they
looked for from the party in power
was the square deal: the right to work
and the right to remain idle if they
so desired: obedience to the law from
them and from all others. They saw
in the future a glorious promise. Col
orado prosperous meant prosperity to
them. 4 firm state administration
and all would be well.
The convention did not belle its ap-
pcarancc. 1t presented to the voters
splendid. we'll rounded ticket Jcs-

publicans 81 the state as well >. of the

ideal administration of two years.
The Peabody administration had driv-
en- from the state the armed and avow-
cd enemies of the state: Gov. McDon-
AIDS administration was one of pro-
found peace and great prosperity,
which has continued until now under
his successor.
Fortunately it was unnecessary for
the convention to interfere to a great
extent with the state administration.
Gov. Buchtel. who was called upon in
emergency to take up the Republican
standard retires with the love and re-
spcct of all good citizens. Most of

has nothing whatever to apologize
for All lovers of freedom and good
government will rally to the support
OF the ticket named yestcrday-Sun-
day Republican.
