A Ilarrlsburg Compositor Say He I One of the HelriI'u.hl ii -III Claim to thel.state. .Philadelphia Inquirer. The 8trjLug story of Ibo Traction Company labort-r, Julius Ham, and bis claim to a share of tho fortune of about 1CX),0),XX) left by his ancestor, J ohannaslicorgo Kapp, "which was recently published, has served to bring to light rthost of claimants to the vast estate. A claimant who will probably have little difficulty in establishing his relationship has been discovered in llarrishirg,and Ijis story is as well-founded as that of the hard-working laborer. He is liurd Glatz Happ. a compositor employed in E. K. Meyer's State printing otnee on South Third street. Compositor Kapp has Teached the middle apan of life, and is in comfortable circumstances. He lives with his wife and live children in , a cozy little home at ISO. 2-7 Liberty, street, lie is an indastrions xvorker. and those who watched him yesterday as he stood by his case busily engaged in setting up a State report never realized that the hard-working mechanic of to-day might soon be one of the wealthiest millionaires in Harribbnrff. Mr. Kapp's story of his ancestor's peculiar religious belief, and the nps and downs of his little band of followers differs slightly in some unimportant details from that told by laborer Kapp, but lie tells it in a brief, and interesting way. lie told this 6tory yesterday to a reporter: "Some time near the close o f the past or opening of the present century, there aroso a dissension amonir the congregation of a "Tillage church in the kingdom of Wnrteraurg, Germany, over an alteration in tho liturgy, to which a portion of the members "were opposed, whereupon they refused to nttend worship. The government took a land in the art air. and the consequence 'was that a baud of exiles, under the leadership of their pastor, Johannes George Kapp, set sail and landed on American soil, at a period dating between tho years 180-J and 16G5. and settled near Philadelphia. Tn 114. thinking to better their condition, they .transferred themselves, along with their worldly possessions, to Huiler county, Pennsylvania, and founded a vil'J a sjo -called Harmony, wherein peace and rfjaiet reigned supreme, and where all things "were, divided equally, being held as common propert3'. --la -the fcamo year tho spirit of unrest again caused them to seek a new home, and they turned their faces westward and "wended their way to Indiana, where pastor Johanues George, seeing a fortune in tho rich prairio lauds lying adjacent to tho banks of tho beautiful Wabash, purchased 27.0W) acres of it, and proceeded to stake oil the site of New Harmony. 'In leader Johannes realized upon hisiev Harmony investment, and turned it into cash, and, with their weaith largely increased, ho and his faithful band of followers tunied toward the rising sun, and retraced their steps eastward to Beaver county, Pennsylvania, where they located Vthe site of Economy, seventeen inilesnorthwest of Pittsburg, agaiu naming tho settlement Harmony. Through all their wanderings they clung tenaciously to their religion, which "was Protestant, though they tolerated all creeds, and through the able management of their leader. George Kapp, they ever T rn. rt r ifc.il until af lpr frtli thniF -woltVi ivn high into the millions. Marriage was strictly forbidden, ana the men and women lived separately, leading lives of strict morality. "Johannes George Kapp, pastor, leader nnd financier of . this strange community, died, 1S47, leaving an estate valued at 100.000,000, consisting of land, mines and railroads. Having no offspring of his own, this estate, which is at present held and managed by two aged members of the Harmony feociety, upon their death will have to be Bottled up and divided." This is Mr. Kapp's claim. Ho says: "My grandfather, Philip Kapp, was born in the kingdom of Wurtemburg, Germany, andwas a hatter by trade. He came to this country.with his people, the Kapps of. .couomy, but soon tneir single blessedness, btcame irksome to him, and he, in company with hi sweetheart. Barbara Hamil ton, a near relative of the famous Conti nental general bearing that name, in the gloaming of oue happy summer day, stole away from their home and traveled on foot to Baltimore, Md., where they were married. Grandfather Kapp did not remain long iu lialtiinore, but journeyed with his wife to Frederick City. Md.. where ho engaged in business. From this branch of the family my lather, Albert Kapp. of Marietta. Fa.. sprang; therefore my connection to the wealthy economite, Johanues George Kapp, is apparent at a glance. We have relatives in rhiladelphia. but have lost sight of them lor years: also William 11. Kapp. a black smith, residing in York, and also Jacob Kapp. a wealthy butcher, of Keading. Pa." , Keared in tho cradle of adversity and nurtured by the' s weal of tho brow, sturdy, self-reliant, with an earnest, thoughtful lac?, half hidden behind a long, iiercelooking mustache, Mr. Kapp stands a truo specimen of the typical go-ahead American mechanic. Ho has joined with several other relatives in pushing his claim, and lias no doubt that ho can prove beyond dis pute his relationship to the dead ruler of tne exchequer at Economy. ' AN ICELANDIC FAIIM-IIOUSE. With Walls and Roofs of Sod, They Suggest Nebraska Dng-Outs-Cbarles Sprague Smitn, In October ScribneT. The Icelandic farm-house, outside tlo jew seaports, with isolated exceptions. consists of a series of one-story structures. placed longitudinally side by side, with broad intervening walls of sods rising up to mo gables, ine side and rear walls are composed of long strips of turf, from twen ty inches to two feet in width, laid one upon the other, to the height of, perhaps, six or eight feet. Stones, also, are fre quently used in connection with the turf, and not rarely the bones of sheep. Upon these walls rest the rafters, and on these, in turn, cross-boards suffi cient to support similar strips of sod. The lront or tho House may be constructed altogether of turf, or of turf and stones (this is rare), or of turf and boards, or wholly of boards. This snaee is pierced with one.i two or more windows. The roof-turf, of course, soon forms ono whole, verdant or withered, according to the conditions of the atmosphere, and very likely dotted : a 1. . i; ;i i . i ii Trim iiowers. oimiiany uie tun wans. A raven or a dog perched upon the end of the roof, and forming an animate ornamental addition thereto, is not an uncommon sight, lhemain entrance is usually through a structure standing midway in the group, often merely a roofed passage. Stooping down, you tiud yourself sua broad nnuoored space, lighted only ironi the low cu trance. You grope forward. turn to one side, and. after passing throucli an interim of darkuess, a door opens aud yon enter the chief room (guestroom). This is at times quite pleasantly furnished though of course with exceeding simplicity . find mdo taste, but usually it is almost entirely bare. Its furuiture consists of a narrow bed occupying one corner of the room, often, also, a case of books, a table, nnd perhaps a certain number of chairs and benches, besides the painted wooden chests. As a rule, however, there are only tho latter, and perhaps stationary benches along the sides of the room. Almost invariably tnis room, at least, lias a wooden llooring, hut in one instance this was not the case. Occasionallv the farm-honsA i pntirsdv destitute of a room such as we have described, the sitting and dining-rooms beintr coincident with the so-called "bath-stora." At other times this room is used onlv as sit ting and dining-room, and thero aro bedclosets opeuiug oil from it, reminding ono or neroic uays. Correct Evening Dress for Men. Clothier aril FurnULer.. To be in chime with tho best models of judgment, those men whoso social position give ineir opinions xue xuiiesc weignt to represent the correct formulas in evening !rv&, don't wear a colored swallow-tail, or one even of velvet, but a black broadcloth or dull worsted garment, with nitched or shawl collar and a waistcoat of the saiuo material; not a white or black moire or figured waistcoat, but one without cording or embellishment of any kiud, in keeping with the plain simplicity of the ccat. Above all things don't wear a eolorcd, plaited, pique or embroidered shirt iront. but a plain wide bosom. Normust diamond, or emerald, or ruby, or gold studs be worn; pearl, or mother o' pearl, or imitation white linen only are permissible. 1 hen the culls must be plain link cuffs with the plainest kind of link sleevo buttons the plainer the better. Avoid carefully an embroidered tab,' turn-down, or any kind of a collar but a Btand-up eilect which almost meets iu front. Shun a fancy handkerchief as a ayinboi of bad breeding, and 6elect a line, plain white liueu mouchoir. There' must be no hi agree work down the team of the irouser; a half-inch stripe is tho limit of decoration among the recognized swells. Of all things never tend to tho fanciful in

footwear; no pumps, or fancy socks, or showy uppers, but severely plain patentleather gaiters. Thecatch-and-bucklo bow is tabooed. One must tie onos tie one's self, and it must be an absolutely plain white lawn cravat, about three-quarters or seven-eighths of an inch in width. It must not be a twice-around-the-neck affair, not fringed or embroidered, or even stitched prof iifiely on the ends, but made as simplo as a lawn cravat may be, A bunch of white llowepj in the coat and there you are!

How the Hand of the Trenton Played the Star Spangled IUnner" at Samoa. Middletown (Del) Special. John Preston Dunning, tho young Associated Press reporter who wrote the thrilling account of the disaster at Apia, Samoa, thus writes to his father, D. L. Uunmng, 01 this place: "I have been asked if tho Trenton's band nlaved the Star Knanzled Banner during the storm. When the Trenton drifted back on the steamer Vandalia I was standing on the edge of tho surf as far down on the beach as it was possible to be, and I heard the music myself. In addition to my statement. Lieutenant S. L. Graham, an officer of the Trenton who returned with me from Samoa last July, w as recently interviewed by an Eastern paper, and ha also made the declaration that the national anthem was played at the time. Besides this. Secretary 'p a i . a j.:i ir:...!.,.-! at Samoa, last May, which was read publicly to the men, and which was, of course, official, thauking the Admiral and the men unuer jus commana ior me neroic qualities they displayed by playinc the national antnem at a time when tho doom of the ship seemed certain. In regard to tho other incident, the cheering of the British ship Calliope by the Trenton's men, there is not tho slightest doubt that it occurred. I could not hear myself, as the ships were too far out In tho bay then. But the fact is acknowledged by Admiral Kimberly and every officer and man on the Trenton, and Captain Kane, tho commander of the Calliope, afterward told me personally that nothing had over affected him more than that cheer of the Trenton's men. The whole day formed a succession of heroic and patri- . A 1 1 11 ? one events wmennave seiuom n over oecn equaled." AS HISTORICAL RELIC. The Railway Car Lincoln Rode In to Ills Inauguration. Wllllamsport Special. A few days ago I saw an historical object that made me blush and feel indignant over the decay into which it has fallen. It is the railway car in wnicu "lionet Abe" Lincoln rode from his home to W ashington to take his first oath as President of the United States. The ear is No. 540. and the property of the New York Central &, .Hudson Kiver Kailroad Company. It. is now run on the Fall Brook road daily between Wollsboro and Antrim, and used as a common smoking car. The car may be seen any day in tho weeK between trips, on a siue-iracK, at xno Delaware, Lackawanna JSc Western passenger station in- Klmira. It is worn and weather-beaten externally, and has the ap pearance of beinc an emigrant passenger coach to the casual observer. It was built at tho West Albany shops thirtv vears aco. and at that time was con sidered the acme of railway coach architecture. . The seats aro stiff and uncomfortable, with iron arms. The arrange ments for ventilation and heating were very crude., but this lack of comfort was made up in the gaudy decorations that adorn the paneling overhead. Lanuscapes and railway views are depicted in high colors, with more or less accuracy, while really good oil portraits of Washington and Lin coln are painted on the end panels of the car. 1 A Curious 5 la p. Writer in Washington Capital. I saw a map in the library of the War Department which I have often wished to r& n SWA -i T - n tm " f A m a rvn. .Inn rx 0 what the map of the United States ought to look like after the suppression of the rebellion. In it the names of the revolted States were obliterated. None of the southern State lines were retained. Kven the border State lines were rectified. Delaware was absorbed by Pennsylvania and Maryland. Maryland also too"k in the eastern shore of Virginia: Virginia was divided and tho ancient namo disnppeared; natural linns were adopted to form new States, and Louisiaua west of the Mississippi was thrown with Texas to make four new States, but none to come into the Union until 1880. Florida was obliterated. States taking the place of Mississippi. Georgia and Alabama getting a coast line at her expense. 1 hope this map has not been destroyed. It would be of great in terest to the future historian, as showing what a politician would have done with the united States if he bad bad the power. From all that I observed in those early days of the war I am convinced that the revolution did not go deep enough for Simon Cameron, and that it went deep?r . . , . i man was anucipaieu at us Deginnmg Dy Mr. Lincoln. i The Reform Idea Growing. Washington Special In Boston Transcript. That the civil-service idea is growing rapidly and vigorously, nobody who has watched governmental doings in Washington can doubt. The effect is distinctly this and this is what was aimed at viz.: -a better class of men and women are doing a better class of work than ever betore. The morale of the civil service is steadily improving. The New York Sun may rail as it likes at the civil-service law. the re sult of the school-boy examinations, or whatever they are. has been to make men every year depend more upon tho quantity and quality of their work and less up n their political backing. Senators and Kepresentatives, many ot them, nout and jeer at the civil-service law, but not one of them would go bac to the old system when a Congressman was dogged for a place, and in turn dogged an executive officer until uotn wero urea anu asnameu.

At 9:05 o'clock this morn ine the delegates to three American Con gress arrived at the station in Boston. where they wero welcomed by Mayor Hart and Mr. Coolidge, one of the American delegates, who will direct the city's entertain ment of the delegates. Carriages were pro vided to convey the members to tho Hotel Vendome. The party was roomed at the Vendome. and then resuming their car riages, headed by a squad of mounted police and escorted by the Mayor and delegate Coolidge, started on their day of inspection. The first stop was at the Central Boston High-6chool, for boys. The visitors were welcomed by President Gallagher, of the School Board, and escorted throughout the vast building. The day was a holiday. but in anticipation of the looming of the distinguished foreigners, many of the pupils had voluntarily como to the school, so that what is, perhaps, the finest school in tho United States was seen to great advantage. lho inspection concluded, the party board ed a tram, via the Fitchburg railroad, for Waltham. The delegates, who had breakfasted at 6:4o o'clock on board the Puritan, were huncrv when thev irot off the train at Waltham. where the watch factory is. Superintendent Kobbins led the party at once to a col lation spread within tho ofiice parlors. .while outside, upon the smoothly-cut gross of the lawn, a band played Gentral and South American airs. The music drew almost the entire delegation to the open win dows, and encore after encore kept the players busy; and when the visitors were inf ormed that the members of tho band "were employes of the company whose guests they were their astonishment was thorough. An inspection of the works fol lowed lunch, and tho establishment was carefully examined, lho Brazilians were particularly interested in a completed watch wnose rim and cases, indeed, the en tire piece save the metal movement, was of Brazilian pebble-stone, lho cost of the watch is SI. 500. the cost of working the more than tlinty crystal constituting the chief expense. Edward Everett Hale was of the party at Waltham. After the watch-works the visitors went to South Framingham, where the works of tho Para Rubber Company wore inspected. At Framingham all tho population of the town, outside of tho factory -workers, appeared to have turned out. The school children, dressed in their holiday clothes. were drawn up in a double line, and as the delegates passed between the lines little girls stepped forward and Dinned a bouquet on every lapel, while tho boys cheered vociferously and the spectators waved their handkerchiefs. Theso marks of at tention visibly affected the foreign visitors, ana tbe leelmg deepened as Walter Adams. the chairman of the town selectmen, stepped forward and presented a set of resolutions, handsomely engrossed in Spanish, ryrtuguese and Lnglish. Ihe resolutions cordially welcomed tho delegates to South Framiugham. aud expressed the belief that the best interests of the respective governments would be promoted by the interna tional congress. Alter this ceremony Su perintendent Thomas took the party in charge and showed them how tho rubber which came from their own countries in great tough knots was metamorphosed into comfortablo overshoes. Again tho train was boarded, and in a short timo Ashland was reached. Hero are located tho leather, boot and 'shoe-works of Houghton, Coolidge & Co. Superintend ents lilton and leraple escorted the party through the works, and showed them the marveiousiy rapid and accurate ma chinery by which 3,000 pairs of shoes are turned out daily, a pair being made in twenty minutes. Ono of the most wonder ful machiues was ono which seizes a piece of wood, makes its own pegs and puts them in a double row around a sole in fourteen seconds. Boston was reached at 6:12 o'clock, and the party returned to the hotel. The Commercial Club gave the visitors a ban.ciuent to-night at the Parker House. Among those present as guests of the club wexe Lieutenant-governor Brackett. Mayor Hart, Senator Hoar, Congressman Russell, e x-Ma vor Prince. Alden Spear, of the Cham ber of Commerce; H. B.

Oct. 5 While the ReDublicaus are almost ready to concede both the governorship and the Legislature to the Democrats, they will not do so until the official count is made, for the reason that tho result is close enough to warrant them them in claiming at least tho Legislature. . This is no ordinary election. Tho result in many counties is so close that twenty votes might change it. and in such a state of ahairs the only thing to do is to wait for lull returns. In several country pre cincts no tally was made of tho vote excent that made bv the judges of elections, and those aro nowsealed and in the hands of tho various county clerksl awaiting the ofiicial count. According to tho law the othcial count must bo made within fifteen days after the 1 A , ,., eieciiou, or may oe maae sooner n mo re turns are all in. It is expected the ofiicial count in the most important counties will bo made by the middle of next week. On the face of the returns to-night the Demo crats have elected the Governor and a ma jority of the Legislaturo.but by margins so narrow. mat Tne lull count may unset eithor. Individual Republicans concede the Governor to tho Democrats, and are half convinced that the Legislature is Dem ocratic, but the Republican press and State committee concede neither.

The three Americas congress to bo held in Washington is af fording tho Lnglish newspapers an oppor tunity to attack the doctrine of protection too good to be lost, and lor once the British press, without reference to party, have one topic in common upon which thev heartily agree. The arguments employed in xuis ono-siaeu aiscussion are ot tne paradoxical kiud that begin with tho conclu sion rather than reach that result through the usual process of analyzing tho premises. and the conclusion is that if the United States government uoes not abandon its policy of protection the congress will avail nothing except to serve as a precursor of the contemplated world's fair in commemo ration of the discoveries made by Colum bus.

In too many cases a cellar is amysterions region where chaos reigns for most of the year, and where ono is always assailed by a mingling of odors from vegetables of varying ages, damp coal, and above and through all a persistent assertion of dampness, not easy to trace. This last feature may be obviated at the fall house-cleaning, or whenener the cellar is put to rights, if boards, supported at tho ends by blocks of wood, are arranged round the walls, and every box or barrel placed thereon, so that not one stands on the cellar lloor. with dampness accumulating under it. Place a Ion ir board a little distance out from the wall, and a load of kindlingwood may be piled ou it. The boards are always "handy to have in the house," and the pieces of wood are easily obtained. The housekeeper who trie this simple plan will have the comfort during the winter of a cellar that can be thoroughly swept whenever she deBires without moving anything. Any faults in the coal and vegetable line are respectfully left to the housekeeper's care, with the comment that closing a door on them is not the best means of defense, nnd that a certain amount of fear concerning tho dark cellar is wholesome as long as thero is anything to dread. Helping the New York Papers. New York Post. It is very nice of Robert Ray Hamilton to sue for a divorce. The case, journalistically considered, was becoming rapidly exhausted, lie and his wife and the baby had been considered aud described carefully from every possible point of view, with such local coloring as the circumstances seemed to call for. It will now be possible to describe him and the w ife iu new roles, those of plaintiff and defendant in a divorce, which will give occasion for another history of the case once more, probably with fresh details. With a little management, in fact, there is not ranch doubt that it might now be made to last till Christmas. Women Drawing Carts. Mrs. Barry, la Philadelphia Pra.
