! ROMANCE OF

Who Will Get the Ir

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

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.

J hnve little couceru for the disssension
g and dissolution which threatens the
. [ 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,

his wifo whs also admitted to the
Society. At the instance of "Father"
Heurici the Pusses took up their
abode in the "Clreat House." 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

i time of day. The sawmills still clat}

' enrly days has given way to steam.

used to rattle from morning to night
are silent. These buildings are now

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

"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
