ROMANCE OF COMA Who Will Get the Ir Harmony Soven aged ami infirm peo? cling ing to life by an almost worn on thread, are ail that staud between on voting man and a fortune estimated n four millions. John Puss is the foi tunate mortal, and he bids fair soon t be the solo survivor and heir of quaint communistic society which ha nestled in peace on the banks of th Ohio for nearly a century. Away back at the birth of the nine teenth century Oeorge llapp, a youtl of some education and originality o thought, became so obnoxious to tin Prussian government through his ad voeacy of communistic doctrines tha he was forced to leave his native coun try. Determined to seek a land wher< he would be free to carry his ideas in a ltno/if inn It o a I. ?w |'invvivc| uu tuuou iu ciui^uuc America, where political find persona liberty seemed to have secured a firn foothold. He landed at Now Orleans in 1802, and for several years seems ti have explored the almopt uubroker wilderness of the Mississippi Valley for a suitable site for a settlement. H< reached St. Louis, and from then turned his steps eastward. By thi; time ho was followed by a band of in trepid spirits, attracted by his en tkusinsiu. Finally Hupp located iu Hose; C'ouuty, Indiana, and established i settlement along the lines of his com muuistic ideas. The settlement wa named Harmony. Posey Couutj proved unhealthy, and a few year later llapp led his followers into Venn sylvania. They first settled in Butle County, where a second "Harmouy' was founded. Then ltapp heard of tli fertile tracts and the beautiful site fo n town overlooking the Ohio in Heave County, and the society moved to tli present town of Economy, Penn., i lS.ttJ. Here the society thrived. I the course of years hundreds of habitn tions rose, and to-day busy mills, over flowing granaries and fertile fields ar numbered among the possessions c the society. "One for all, aud all for one," wa Ihe motto of this little band of com mutists. On being admitted to tin Harmouy Society a uexv member wa obliged to cede all his money am worldly possessions to the commuu JOHN n. PUSS. (President of tho Harmony Society a Economy, Peun.) ity. Members receiveil no compensa tion for their labors. Some peculiai laws there were. No member wa ))ermittetl to luarry, "Father" Rapp'i theory being that every raewhe: should be able to add his share to tin general endeavor. Thus there wen Do members born into the society, bu all recruits came by election. The members looked not to the future, hut thought ouly to secure conteut inent ami plenty iu this world anc everlasting happiness in the next. A tenet of the commune was that wher "Father" Rapp died Christ was t< make His second appearance on eartl and take all niauibers to His bosom.

By this timo it all the origiual members had far e passed the prime of life, and wero it well coutent to abate a little of their - efforts and enjoy more at ease the o fruits of their earlier labors aud the a income from their wealth. In order s that there might be enough to go e round, admission of new members became rarer aud rarer, and finally - ceased altogetlier. Tbe lands or tlie ti community were leased to tenants, f while the aging brothers and sisters o came to pass their declining years in - peace and free from toil. t v J ' I ^ : ; 0 0 1 : % ? tttiBI I i I !Lr v ?

[ community. They think and talk 3 ' chiefly of when they will be laid to s rest in the "orchard," as they call the | society burying ground, and of a joy . they expected to realize long ago?that _ of meeting their Lord. For days, weeks, years, they have eagerly watched for the second coming of Christ. "He has delayed His coming to us, but we shall soon go to Him," the serene faced sisters whisper to one another as they walk out together on pleasant days. The wrinkled man rarely speaks to them more than to say, "Good day, sisters, God bless you." for men and women in this ancient community have always dwelt apart. Now comes John Duss, the present "patriarch" and prospective heir. Duss is virtually a child?the only child?of the society. His mother took him to Economy with her in 18f>2, when he was two years old. His I father, who wus then in the Federal : army, died of a wouuil received iu 1 lie battle of Gettysburg. The mother went to Economy to accept employment as a nurse. She remained iu ~ the service of the society until early iu 1876. John was sent to the Soldiers' Orphans' Schooj, at Phillipsburg, in t 1873, and remained there until 1870, when ho returned to his mother and - entered the service of the Harmony - Society. The mother took him to r Germany for a few months' visit. They s returned to Economy, and in 1878 s young Duss was given a position as a r teacher of German in the Economy B school. He remained there about a 3 year, and then entered Mount Union t College, but did not remain long. He j received an offer to teach in the Kansas State Reform School, in Topeka, and - as his limited means would not have I permitted him to complete his college l course, he accepted. l .Tohu Duss was always enlarging j his interests, however, and when he l saw a chance to buy a tine farm of 160 i acres in Webster County, Neb., for , $1280, he took it, and devoted cou siderable time to agriculture. In 1888 Duss, who in the meantime ? had married, returned to Economy, f He claims this was at the earnest v '/4> >' ^ ^ > '/ ^Y"''",'>,?>/"''x,-///ii":;?> "* /. '/ N THl".

Although under the samo roof, ther lived apart, iu accordance with the doctrine of the community. The election of Dusk and his wife and the elevation of the former to power created dissension to the society. Several of the members withdrew, claiming that Puss exercised uudue influence over "Father" Henrici. Thus dissension, so long excluded, got a foothold, and now thrcateus to totally disrupt a community which ivmil.l l.nvn u,,.... J: 1 1 1? ov?u MOCl. UIBOUUBU uy death.

The clock in its steeple, which is run by 11 ! huge stone weight suspended from the | belfry, has never ceased to tell the i time of day. The sawmills still clat} ter, although the water power of the ' enrly days has given way to steam. ) The factories where the silk looms used to rattle from morning to night are silent. These buildings are now tilled with grain. Economy silks were famous a half century ago. Acres of mulberry trees had been planted, silk worms were imported, and this branch of the industry flourished for years. Then the worms began to die, and it was de a;ns. duss. cided the climate was not favorable for them. The products of the society's lands and mills were much more than the community needed for its own use, and much was sold in Pittsburg and neighboring towns. The receipts all went into the common fund, which in time grew to r great amount. When Christ did not come at the death of "Father" Itapp, disappointment was keen. Jacob Henrici, who was elected senior trustee and patriarch of the society, predicted that they would not have to wait much longer. He encouraged the members to more ascetic religious life and to more diligent toil. At the entrunce to the "Great Garden" stands the "Great House." Father Henrici spent his last dtTys in the house. The "Great House" has been a subject of controversy in tho case before the courts. It is alleged that I)r. Cyrus Teed was introduced to the society and preached his doctrines in Economy, with a view to transferring his colony there and making it a part of the Harmony Soflnaa ?l <:?: - < viuij. j/iinn, uiu jiciuiiiiii'in iiiii'gi;, "built a fine house before Father Henrici's death for the accommodation of Teed and some of his principal followers." This raised a rebellion anions the llarmonites and resulted in the withdrawal of some of the members, "who received certain sums of money ai their departure." This disI satisfaction, it is said, caused the j abandonment of the Teed scheme. So the Harmony Society, born in j peace and good will, seems doomed to go to pieces in the courts, unless ; legal delays can postpone a ijudicaI tion tome years, when there is apt to be left of those interested only ?John | , A perfectly proportioned man is said to weigh twenty eight pounds for every foot of his height.
