6 ALL MILLIONAIRES. The Curious People of Economy; Pennsylvania. All Their Property Is Held In Com mon—Their Idea of tho Creation and the Fall of Man—The Quaint Church and Tower. About one hour's ride from Allegheny on the Fort Wayne road, near Beaver, the home of the more or less illustrious Quay, and known by the very sugges tive name of Economy, is a quaint village founded in ISOS by a company of several hundred Germans, half of whom landed at Philadelphia. They were brought over at the instigation of one Herr Rapp, who had preceded his religious followers to look up a suitable settlement. Five hun dred of the beautiful and productive acres upon which these Econornites then settled, upon which the remaining num ber, only about forty souls now, still abide, were at that time purchased from the grandfather of James G. Biaine. The town has one of the loveliest situa tions imaginable. It begins on the very edge of a bluff overlooking the Ohio River. The streets are at right angles ■with the river's course, and prettily bor dered with shade trees, back of which sit the prim houses, commonly minus a front door, and so spaced that each house hold has its own kitchen garden. An other peculiarity about the houses is a singular decoration of grapevines, which are trained to espaliers so as to cover the space between the tops ol* the lower win dows and the bottom of the upper win dows. The vines grow in Vandykes, and you have no idea how oddly pretty is such an arrangement. This decoration is general. Notice the "economy" in grow ing the profitable grape for decorative effect instead of the merely ornamental vines commonly used for this purpose. Your quiet here will not be disturbed by so much as the ring ofa door-bell, nor by any sound more startling than the Sunday-like crow of the finely-bred and very numerous rooster which has the full freedom of the hamlet, or mayhap bythe rumble of the distant train or tha pull' of the locomotive under the bluff. Economy might fitly be called the sileut village. The now deserted factories and breweries attest that once this was a busy, and, in consequence, a noisy place. Tnis, in early days, when the society numbered hundreds. A Rip Van Winkle lethargy has fallen upon the place now. As you walk the silent, well-kept streets you will likely meet only an occasional little old man in a light-bluo jacket and tall broad brimmed bat, quite suggestive of that worn by our Quakers. Or perchance ono of tho home-like dames may be abroad in Norman cap and stuff gown. Jf so, their surprise upon meeting you, a stranger, and so differently dressed, will not cause them to forget the courteous ''good day" they religiously give you. There is nothing in the manner or ap poarauce of these uncommon people to give you a suspicion of millions, yet, in the language of the street, "that is the size of it." Forty millions on the co-op erative or Bellamy plan—in land, gas, oil and railroad and bank stocks. Only about forty members of the society at present, the majority having reached, and several having passed the three-seore and-ten limit. And what eventually is to become of the millions? The very ques tian I asked, and was told, "The Lord would take care of that." You can spend your time uniquely here, seeing thing? of interest to be found nowhere else. Your patronage is not Bolicited and your presence not particu larly desirable. Yet, if you are sweetly persuasive, you can iind accommodations at the one hotel which, like the one store, belongs to the society and is not run for money. The town really prefers to be left alone, but never is at this season. The hotel, before railroad days, was the favorite stopping place on one of the main stage routes out of Pittsburg. If you are too poor to pay as you go, you are as welcome as if a millionaire, and both bed aud board is yours "without money and without price." If you are a tramp you will find an annex hotel ke}>t up on purpose for your brotherhood, -where you will meet travelers from all points of the terrestrial compass. To the inquiry, "How do you know these are -worthy ones?'' you will be answered, "We don't know. But that makes no difference. Better feed a dozen pn worthy men than refuse a deserving one." How's that for real charity? You will be interested in the wonder ful wine cellars, and in seeing the hun dreds of casks containing 1,000 gallons each, and if you are a little less queer in your temperance notions than these peo ple in their religious opinions, then you will enjoy testing tho different brands and agree with me that the wines manu factured here are tine. It will seem strange to you to see the "little brown jogs" brought in from houses and iiclds to be tilled simply for the asking—each family being entitled to so much, "for the stomach's sake," per diem. No guest is permitted to depart without a nip and a souviuer bottle. Their hospitality is on a very generous scale all the way through. Though not gormandizers, they live well. Their cattle are all blooded^ many of them imported from German}*; therefore the richest cream and sweetest butter are yours, together with fresh vegetables cooked to tho queen's taste. At the co-operative laundry, which, by the way, is supplied with modern ma chinery, you will see a novel wash day. Each family has this day only once in three weeks, and they go in families, sev eral washing the same day. At the store supplies are given out as is the wine, simply for the asking. Each one i* supposed to have earned all lie can consume. As each labors lor all there is no occasion for jealousy or selfishness. There is no room for waste, since there are no opportunities for using more than can be eaten or worn. Your interest will center in the "big house," or as I prefer to call it, the executive mansion of econo my. In this house live the religious and financial heads of the community, old Father Henrici, the present and third religious leader, young Mr. Duss, the present financial manager, and Father ilenriei's successor, and several others. Mr. Duss is a scholar and a gentleman in all that those terms imply. His one time wife, by whom he has two children, is beautiful and womanly. These peo plo, aged 32 years respectively, two years ago took the vow of oelibacy and became leaders in the order. Several other addi tions were made about thai time, tbe con verts being comparatively young people, and thus the relisrion gathered an i:n- I etus, the first for a number of years. I should like to devoto a column to the quaint little church and the yet more quaint clock in the tower—every bit made right there by home talent. This clock, like the people for whom it tells the hours, is not to be frustrated by auy new fangled time in existence, but ticks oil" the same sun time it was first made to tick. Entering the church you will be struck with its plainness, and unless you have been living In QaJakerdom it will seem odd to you that, though these men and women may live together under one roof, they may uot sit together in church or be laid side by side in the church yard. No luxury anywhere; the more luxury the ■ ligion is the idea. Two organs are played simultaneously during services. Tne religious head of the society has since the beginning conducted all church and funeral services, and remains seated the while. Communion services are con ducted only once in a year. I think you will agree that the doctrine preached and practiced here is like the love of heaven, inasmuch as it passeth all understanding. They hold thai God was a dual being con tain ing within his own person both the sexualelements, reading literally in con firmation of this the text: "And God said let us make man iv our image, after our likeness, and let them have dominion," etc. This, they maintain, denotes both jfgggj gtaknte Votvbev. _ Highest of all in Leavening Power.—U.

But Adam fell into discontent. and God separated from his body the fe male part and gave it him according to his desire, and therein consisted the fall of man. From this they deducecalibacy, that state being more pleasing to God. FUNNY HORSE TRADE. A Gait Citizen Who Runs Up Against a Streak of Luck. The Gazette of Saturday tells the fol lowing: "Monday of this week .1. C. Rowo of this place paid a neighbor of his $1 to kill an old sick horse in his barnyard, aud contracted with J. M. Haller, our local drayman, for the job of hauling the dead carcass out of town. The drayman charged $1 for the proposed hauling, and when he drove to the barnyard the would-be horse murderer had just arrived and was about to perform his deadly work, when Mr. Haller chipped in and said: 'Save that boss, I'll buy him;' and in order for the executioner to earn his dollar it was necessary, according to contract, to kiil the animal. The drayman saw no way out of the dilemma but to pay the exe cutioner 31 for the horse, and he planked up that amount in coin of the realm and took possession of the animal. "Tho drayman took the horse to his own barn, and alter doctoring him a few 'lays and feeding him up with capsicum, he Showed more signs of animation and high spirit than any sick horse we hive ever heard of. While in this lively mood the drayman took the animal down to the Chinese colony on the river and bar tend the Mongolians for a trade, and he was successful to this extent : He traded off the sick horse for twenty-five sacks of first-class potatoes, live —€_t of inferior grade potatoes and one and a half cords of wood, aggregating in value, at a low market price, over |80l This was a shrewd piece of trading all round. The executioner received J_—Ssl for killing the horse and the other not to kill. The drayman got paid for hauling the dead carcass, but was saved the trouble by buying the animal and recuperating the life not yet extinct with Dostruma and trading him off to a Chinaman." COUNTRY SURGERY. How a Hicksvlllo Man Clot Rid of a Itad Corn. J. B. Hicks of Ilicksvillo is tho boss chiropodist of this section of the country, remarks the Gait Gaicttr. One day this woek "Jim.," as he is familiarly known, went gunning in the barnyard after chickens with a Ballard rille. There is no man in this section who can eat more chicken at one meal than can Mr. Hicks, and it generally takes him a couple of hours to shoot him a mess ol yellow legged fowls. While thus engaged the other day. a neighbor happened along who stopped to chat with Mr. Hicks. Tne latter, in the course of his conversation, attempted to move his Ballard ride, which was resting on the top of his boot, muzzle down, in order to relieve a corn which was being pressed a little too tightly for comfort's sake, and in doing so the gun went off, taking not only the corn, but a goodly portion of the afflicted toe along. Mr. Hicks say* it was the most skillful piece of surgery that he ever performed, and thinks when the sore toe gets well, that he will be forever relieved from the corn that he shot off.

Many people can write a novel, and moat people have done SO. Consequently the composition ofa novel is often regarded in the same light us a trip to the seaside; and it is s mental •■outing** which, to the reader, gives ■ change of set _c and can do no harm, and which affords its author an opportunity of ventilating bis opinions or caricaturing his friends. To us, on the other hand, the advent ofa popular novelist is a mat ter of pubhc interest and concern. The novi i is one of the most powerful agen cies in mental, moral, and social educa tion, and it is of the first Importance thai so great an instrument for good or evil should be administered by self-respect ing hands. It is quite true that the aim ofa novel is amusement, that it cannot be judged by strict or high standards of art. that the public does not require tin in, and that they are not adopted By authors. Suddenly emerging from obscurity to empire, novelists enjoy the license of Bohemia. Independent of the dignity of history, ushaekleu by tbe metrical rules of poetry, unrestrained by the dramatic unities, they constitute the Alsatia of literature. They gained their freedom be cause they were at first regarded as out side the pale of art. Now, although the censors—lp of society has to a large ex tent, passed Into their hands, it is too late to legislate. But if society persists in treating novels as a species of literary dustbin, it ought to take care, for the sake of its own health, that the receptacles are cleaned out at regular intervals. There may be death in a dustbin as well as a drink-shop. Dr. Johnson's dictum is sturdy com mon sense —that men do not become highway men because Macheath is ac quitted on the stage. No one takes to the road for such a cause unless he Is more than half-way in that direction already. But there can be no doubt that the weekly budgets of vice and crime, coarsely written, coarsely printed, and coarsely illustrated, which constitute almost the only weekly reading of "our masters," rather degrade than elevate their view of life. Nor is a very large part of the literature which circulates in the drawing-rooms of the so-called upper classes one whit more elevating in tone and feeling than that which is devoured in public houses of the East End. Stories which adopt a uniformly low tone of moral feeling, or which* treat adultery as the measles of married life, are not calculated to raise the standard of society. Nor docs it answer the ends of morality to mete out poetical justice in tho last chapter or the concluding sen tence. Only women can plead the excuse that it is the practice of their sex to re serve what is most important for the postscript.—Edinburgh Keview. All in tho Parnblo Lino. It was in tho Sabbath-school class, and little "Liz'beth" had been listening with much interest to the scriptural illustra tion of the shepherd and his sheep. , "Now," said the teacher, "toll me who takes rare of the sheep?" "Tho shepherd," answered the class in chorus. "That is right; and who else?" There was silence for a moment. Then a little hand was raised with: "I know, teacher." "You may toll." And Liz'beth answered with a sincere emphasis: " Boopeep." — Washington Star. -•- "I paid out hundreds of dollars for medicine for catarrh," writes a lady in Providence. R.

JN TITE SrRTXG OF LAS3T YFAR K^b-rt A. and :."eal P. Barker associated themselves wttti William McKay, all of Oak land, with a view of searching out a suitable legation in which to ensraire in the profitable occupation of oruit-_TOWing. After visiting many localltiea, they decided on the Capay Valley, Yolo County, and the Rhodes tract at rrncrt*d. Kegottationi were opened with the Capay **a!ley Land Company,owning the tract in qiestion. M'i»h W. H. Miiis, the General Agent of that company, they arranged for the purchase of about 220 acres of foothill land This being more than they had thought of taking for their own use, they spoke to a number of friends about it. with the result that the tract was divided among the follow ing people: 13. L. Hic_ok, 40 acres; W.T, Parnett. _0 acres; N. T. Greathead, 20 acres; Mrs. L. Greathead, 20 acres; \V. McKay, 20 acres; N. D. Karker, 20 acres; R. A. Barker, 20 acres; J. p. Brownlee, 20 acres; E. EL Has lett, 10 acres; Joseph Barker, 10 acres; A. W. Kelly* 10 acres, and Frederick Kelly, 10 acres. So far this bad been merely a private ven ture of the gentlemen above named, but in talking up the question of dividing the land already purchased, It was found that so many more would like to join it than tho area of the purchase would admit of, that it was sug gested on all hands, "Why not get some more land and divide it up in the same way?" Then followed the idea of a stock company to take hold of a larger tract and arrange for the cultivation of the whole of it, after subdividing it according to the requirements of the sub scribers. A provisional board was formed, a prospectus issued, and finally, on the sth of Jane, 1890, the Western Co-operative Col onization and Improvement Company was duly registered and proceeded to business, with the following officers: President, Will iam McKay; Vice-President. M. P. Brown; Directors— H. r. Ellis, Charles Brooke and R. A. Barker; Secretary and General Manager, Keal D. Barker; Solicitor, C. E. Snook; Treas urer, First .rational Bank of Oakland. The balance ot the tract, 373 acres, was pur chased. A contract, was entered into for the purchase ot a large number of fruit trees, vines, etc. This early purchase of trees was the means of saving between ?3.000 and $4,000 to the company, the prices in some ca;es having more than doubled since then. The ideas which tbe prospectus set forth have been but, slightly modified and the progress of the company has been uninter rupted. Those who went into it doubtingly have become enthusiastic, aud almost all the members arranged to set out ail their lands in fruit trees, etc., the first year. Consequently In this, the first season, some 40,000 trees and between 20.000 and 30.U00 vine 3 will bo pianten. The satisfactory working of this scheme has bad the effect of attracting considerable at tention to the work of the Colony Company, and a number of people are now desirous of Joining in With them. An additional 200 acres have been added to the sixty acres originally purchased. For the company is predicted a very bright future, as well as for tiie beautiful valley In which their operations are conducted. How this marvelous little garden has come to be so long neglected is a puzzle to every one who ' bus visited it, but one thing is very sure, and that is that this neglect will never again be felt in the valley. The fruits set out are mostly of the standard varieties—peaches, apricots, Bartlett pears, prunes, figs, raisin grapes, etc., while along both sides of the avenues, throughout the tract, walnuts will throw their graceful shade. A considerable number 01 citrus trees are also being set out; quite a sufficient number to demonstrate that those frttits can bo success fully grown in the valley, about which the colonists appear to have no doubt, provided proper care is given to the young trees. Keal D. Barker, General Manager of the company resides on the tract, and to his care is to be a* cribed much of the success of tbe venture. Mention should be mafle of the town-site, about which there is a pleasant innovation which might with profit be followed by more ambitious places. A small park of some three acres has been laid out right in the center of the town. This park it is proposed to beautify by planting in it from time to time ns many of the beauties and curiosities of tree and shrub life as may be obtained by diligent search and a wise expenditure of money. It ! is not expected that Tancred will ever bo a large and busy city, but it is thought that it can be made a very pleasant little placo to dwell in. A petition has been circulated recently and very largely signed, asking the county to ac cept Island avenue, on the colony tract, as a county road, aud to build a bridge across Cache Creek at this point, in order to givothe settlers on the east side of the creek access to Tancred Station. The Tancred colonists are ; quite willing to give the necessary right of way, and are very desirous of having a bridge there, as the colony lands extend along both j sides of tho stream. It is thought that it WOtdd be a very wise expenditure of public- ' money to grant them this very necessary im provement, as the operations of such com panies are of widespread benefit to the whole county and State. The attractions and com forts of the cities are well known, but to thoso i who are willing to settle on the land and show I that the country also afiords attractions and j comforts and ways of making money pleas ■ntly, every inducement should be held forth. ! The following is a list of the principal men- ' l brrs of the Tancred Colony, with the number ; of acres owned by each, and a tact worth-. ■ : mention is that in each contract or deed i_ sued bythe Colony Company there is & pro vision that no intoxicating liquor shall eves be manufactured or sold on the land.
