RELIGIOUS SECT NEARING END
Disappearance OF Denomination Known
as Shakers Due to Dogma
of Celibacy.

The news from Enfield, Conn. that
the North family of shakers of that
place, numbering ten, has moved to
Mount Lebanon, New York leaving at
Enfield of the former three families
or communities. only ten members of
the Church family, is evidence of the
passing of a peculiar people, remarks
the Providence Bulletin. The recruit
ing plan OF the shakers, dependent
solely for new membership on the
manifestation OF divine light as they
came to individuals has not proved
effective. Their dogma of celibacy
has made impossible those denomina
tional accretions that are due to the
transmission OF religious views from
parents to. children. The "reviyals''
out of which the sect sprang in Eng
land and in this country in the eigh-
teenth century long since ceased, and,
In fact, were Inconsistent with the
inaEgressive character of these people.
The Enfield. Conn. community once
numbered hundreds, and the sect in
the country had 1000 adherents. To
day, or rather AT the time of the last
compilation of statistics made for the
Christian Advocate, in 1912. the fifteen
shaker communities in this country
afforded a census of SIG.
1t was a few years prior to the
American revolution that the shaker
movement, which was still young in
England. was ;ransplanted to the colo
MES in America transpanted is the
word. as it appeared here it disap-
peared across the water The sect
is now disappearing in the United
States. Even forty years ago there
were some 1000 full members, be-
sides several hundred novitiates here.
The communities then numbered sew
enteen and later fifteent These were
at New Lebanon and Wateryliet, New
York: Hancock birmingham, Harvard
and Shirley, Massachusetts,, Enfield,
Connecticut; Canterbury and Enfield.
New Hampshire; Union Village, Wa
tervliet, Whitewater and North Union,
Ohio. and Pleasant Hill and South
Union, Kentucky. They are passing
slowly but surely from the world in

few days ago information was
received at this office through an Of
ficial of the Wells Fargo express
company that the local office of the
United States and the Wells Fargo
company would be consolidated hero
on October lst Acting upon this
advice the Ardmoreite produced the
story as given. Now the local agent

papy says that the information was
premature and that his business has
suffered as a consequence and he
wants the public to understand that

viii not consolidate with the Wells

that he is still ready to serve the

PASSING OF THE BARRooM

While the prohibition movement,
far as making statewide laws effec-
tive. has been failure in every state
where such laws have been enacted
it has caused men in the liquor busl-
ness to something they never
cid before.
All who have studied the problem
have realized that the breweries have
been, or at least to a great extent
have been responsible for the evil

residence sections, to the back rooms
OF corner groceries, to the suburbs,
which should not be afflicted with the
| liquor curse at all

town saloons, but the places whore ~
Quor was sold in the suburbs have
been effecUally closed
| 1t stands to reason that the man
who is not willing to come mp town 70
get his drink should do without it.
Prohibition does not prohibit. This
has been concmsiyely demonstrated
| from Maine to Texas. and as Maine Is
! the oldest stateWide state I'm the Tn
! ion. and the state with the most rad
ical temperance laws on its statute
| book, the failure is all the more no
ticeable
1t must be admitted that the bar
room is gradually passing. The brew
cries have warTed against segregation
and high license, and because Of this
they have entailed state struggles that
have left marks and stains never to
he erased.
The breweries are now taking the ini-
tative toward a general and sweep
ing reform. II is the only way by
which they can save their cause.
At the Brewers Congress held In
Chicago last year, the members yield
ed to the demand Of public opinion.
They declared openly for better and
cleaner methods in the retail disjri-
button Of intoNicants.
As indicating the trend Of public
opinion. a model saloon was equipped
in the exhibition hall, with tables and
chairs as q substitute for the OlGfaSh-

Tn idea is not new. The bar Is
essentially an American creation. IN
Paris men and women who drink usu-
ally do so seated at tables, and even
on the sidewalks in front Of cafes. In
England the common custom has al

only an envoy of General Huerta, but
is also an agent of the Wilson ad-
