Shakers are Rapidly Decreasing

News that the property of the Shak
er Colony at Union Village, Ohio, has
gone into the hands of receiver and
that the colony itself will probably
soon be wiped out by the death of it's
venerable members. calls attention to
the slow passing of the Oldest COM
muniStic religious body in the United
States. says the Detroit Free Press. In
1887 there were 1000 Shakers in the
country; today there are fewer than
one thousand, scattered in fifteen col
onieS
Because the Shakers have always
been harmless, loveable. inoffensive
folk of marked Individuality, they have
made deeper impression on the coun-
try than many much larger sect, and
they have figured rather extensively
in story and novel
They anticipated the prophecy of
Annie Besant, she of the astral in
sight,, by more than a century. accept
ing Anne Lee, alias "Anne the Word. -
an" Mother Anne as a reincarnation
of Christ. But they worship neither
Christ nor Anne Lee, but sinoly "rhe
Highest Good" and while they esteem
the Bible, they consider much OF it
secular writing. and believe in contin-
uous spirituaiism. They are temper
ate. frown upon tobacco, eat no meat,
and cancer is unknown among them.
From this the vegetarian may perhaps
draw some comfort. Being species
of Quaker they are non combatants.
They amassed considerable wealth
through their industry, but the money
appears to be slipping away with the
membership.
The explanation of the Shakers al
ways small numbers and their present
decline is to be found in their doctrine
az celioacy. The5 do not oppose mar
rage for others, but they hold that
the welded state prevents the attain
ment of angelic orders. - The Shak-
ers have been So unique a factor in
American life and so whoIesemely pic
turesque that their decline is more
pathetic. 1t is an ethical disaster.

Miss Elizabeth Waggoner has been
selected as secretary in the headquar-
ters of the Political Equality league
which are. to be opened within the next
two or three days. Aside from eXcep-
tional personal and literary qualifica-
tions for this work. Miss Waggoner
has had the advantage of much actual
political experience, having served as
private secretary to the governor of
North Dakota during two administra-
tions. On more than one occasion the
entire responsibility of the executive de-
partment was entrusted to her, and
her good judgment and unfailing diplo-
macy made her a most desirable and
dependable assistant to the governor.
The league had expected to establish
headquarters in Hotel Westminster,
but it was found that the rooms select
ed were not entirely suitable for that
purpose, and other apartments will be
announced within the next day or so.
Mrs. Charles Farwell Edison, who is
now actively engaged in the organiza-
tion work of this league, is especially
we'll qualified for the position, and as
soon as replies are received from the
various candidates for legislative posi-
tions concerning their individual views
on the political equality question, ac-
tive campaigning will be taken up.

Mrs. ]. G. MacLean, corresponding
secretary Of the Cosmos club and
chairman of the press and printing
committee. has subdivided her work,
leaving the actual press work to a
committee Of which Mrs. John S. Myers

serve as chairman, with the assistance
of Mrs. George G.. Young, 1857 West
Twenty-fifth street, and Mrs. E. B.

fore the demands of summer vaca-

ample of their president, Mrs. George

pleasing. First on the program is
Kitty Stevens, character costume
dancer, who gives an impersonation of
the girls of various nations, including
the Japanese, italian, Dutch and colo

dancers and singers are handsomely
costumed in new garb, and Mrs. Maka-
renko renders very delightful So
prano solo, taken from the Russian
folk songs. Mr.. Makarenko's solo in
English, "You Are My Life, My All"
was well received.
The Makarenko quintet's rendition,
"The Flowers Of the Country" re-
ceived considerable applause, and in
fact their act this week seemed to
please the majority of the patrons even
better than during their former weeks
The bill closes with the premier OPP
