THE DAY FOR SETTLEMENT. Peculiar Custom of Farmers A Business of Xar!j a Million. Chamber-bur; (Fa.) Letter Nowhere in the United States can be itnessed such a peculiar method of transtine buisnes? as th&t whicn yearly ocurs in Chambersbuip, Pa., upon the first ay of April, which in the preat settlement day, and has grown to be euch a remarkable and established institution. In Incaster county, there is some approach to the practices here observed, but the imitation is only partial, and more improved business methods are in vogue there. The peculiar custom of crowding the business transactions of the whole year into one day, of transferring thousands of acres of pome of the most valuable farmin? land in the country, and making hundreds of thousands of dollars change hands in a few hours 13 a spectacle which amuses those acquainted with the business methods observed elsewhere in the United Ftates, and has in it many quaint and interestinz features. It is difficult to explain how the custom came to be observed. As far back in the history of the county as the oldest inhabitant can recollect it has been the practice among the farmers here, particularly among the mennonites and dunkers, twö religious sects which are very stronp in the county, to so arrange their affairs that all their transactions in money and land should be consummated on April 1. All agreements for the 6ale of land are so drawn as to make the title pass that day, no matter how far distant it may be from the date of the agreement, and all payments upon the land are arranged so that they will fall upon the 1st day of April of the next or succeeding years. Leases of farming lands to tenants upon shares are drawn in the same way. This arranging for the 1st of April for a settlement day is not onlv a universal custom as to land transactions but it is carried into money-lending and money-borrowing in all its phases. When money is loaned and a judgment given in security the payments are all arranged so as to fall upon April 1, and it is the same cape where mort?a?es are given and notes for cattle and farming machinery bought, and public sales by farmers are dated in the same way. Into private transactions between one farmer and his neighbor across the road or across the fields the custom has al?o crept until it now thoroughly pervades almost every form of business transaction the farmers ever have occasion to enter into. Asa result of this strange arrangement the great settlement day is the greatest day of the year to the farmer, his wife, and his family. It is dreaded by the attorneys, court-house officials, and bankers, as well as by those who have payments to make and no money to meet them. Early on the morning of the 1st the town begins to assume an unwonted aspect of business activity. From all points of the compass the farmers' teams arrive in quick sueevsFion and over-crowd the hotels with guests. Their wives and daughters, eager to make their annual purchases of supplies, quickly fill the stores and gladden the hearts of the tradesmen, while the fathers of the families make their way to the banks, court-house, and lawyers offices and begin the active business of the day. The attorneys have the deeds and title papers already prepared, the banks have laid in a heavy supply of currency, and the county officers have engaged extra clerks for the great rush. The first act of many of the farmers is to go to their banks and draw out their deposits in rash. The average farmer neither pays with checks nor accepts checks. Uncle Sam's greenbacks are the only things for which they will hand over their deeds to satit-fy their judgments and mortgages. They look with great suspicion upon a check, and have a decided preference for greenbacks over gold certificates or silver certificates. Many have disdained the use of banks, and hoarded up the money at their homes. An old leathern wallet tied around with a knotted shoestring will often disclose thousands in large bank notes. In every nook and corner parties of two and three can be seen counting down their money, improvising a tabie out of a etorebox upen the sidewalk or any other convenient object. Many thousands of dollars are openly displayed and carelessly handled, and it would seem to te a rich feast for pick-pockets, but somekow they have never invaded there preserves.

Strang to pay, with all the hurry and excitement few mistakes are made, and the farmers still regard it as the best and easiest way of transacting their money Allaira iur tLa year.

No matter how strong may be every link in a chain of circumstantial evidence, there is always a doubt,a lack of certainty, that ehould weaken it and cause us to distrust it. I remember a story my grandfather used to tell of a case in which an innocent life was sacrificed for a guilty person. A boy on a farm, for some misdemeanor, was sentenced by his father, a stern man, with an eye to saving a half-price ticket, to be deprived of his annual circus privilege, and in addition to hoe so many rows of corn while the rest of the family took in the lady's pad act, the bareback riding of Jack Robinson, the club that killed Capt. Cook, and other attractions of the great moral show. The boy watched tho wagon drive away, with tears in his eyes, and then went at the corn rows with a determination to make a short crop if it could be worked without detection. I'ut he grew hungry after a while and went into the house to investigate the pantry. There were seven pies it was an American household seven blackberry pies baked for Sunday; the boy who was not feeling very well himself soon placed his person anterior to six of the pies, but paused thoughtfully with keen regret midway on the seventh. One-half of that he left. He then caucht the family cat, thrust her nose and feet into the pie, and dropped her on the clean, white sanded floor of the pantry that she might track around on it. Then he went back to his corn rows. Evening brought the family home. The boy saw them climb out of the big wagon. He noted how the over-ripe apples fell from the trees when his sister jumped over the side and alighted flatfooted on the ground. His father let himeelf down over the double-trees and got himself kicked twice by the roan colt. He saw his mother waiting patiently until somelody had time and inclination to take the" baby. He saw his grandmother perch herself on the hub of the hind wheel on one foot, while she made vague, circumferential, wandering excursions for the wide, wide world with the other. He saw his brothers let themselves down over the tailgate and sneak away to avoid doing any work. At last the wagon was empty, and there were visible signs of excitement about the house. "The raid is discovered," said the boy. cutting the roots of a healthy stalk of corn, and carefully hilling up "a vigorous lance-weed. Presently he saw his father come out of the house with a gun over his shoulder and the cat under his arm. "The culprit is arrested," remarked the young robler as he leaned thoughtfully upon his hoe and watched his father disappear behind the barn. The sharp report of a gun rang out upon the quiet of the sunset hour. "There," said the boy with the confident expression of one who knows what he is talking about, "there goes another victim to circumstantial evidence." Robbie Thinks It All Out. Buffalo Courier. Little Robbie, a three-year-old. is the promising eon of a Franklin-st. physician. Like all promising pons of that age, the past and the relations to it are far more important to him than the future. Last evening liobbie climbed into the big office chair and explained to his father a most wonderful discovery : "Fapa, where Nig come from?" (Nig is the pet dog.) "Oh, I guess he came from Tonawanda." "Did I come from Tonawanda, papa?" "I should hope not." "I know where I came from, ptpa; I know who brought me here, too ; Him's, wife did." "Whose's wife?" asked the father. "Dod's wife," replied liobbie. A Graceful Reproof. Treasure Trove. TVhen the Johnsons came to the dinner-table the other day it was quite apparent that little Maud had anticipated the feast and helped herself to some of the good things, but no reprimand was given until her older sister, Alice, aged eight, was asked to say grace a pleasant duty with which she was sometimes intrusted. Her observant eyes had detected the younger one's delinquency, and the opportunity was not to be neglected. Alice solemnly said grace as follows: "For what we are about to receive and for what Maud has had already 0 Lord, make us dulv thankful!" A Joke of Great Power. Butlalo Express.

A SAFE BUILDING PROJECT.

BUYING LAND AND ERECTING HOMES. Each For Himself A Plaa That Will Catch the Avers; Man Real Estate Revo lationlaed A Project That Has Been Successfully Tested. Fittburg Pispatch. Pittsburg and Allegheny will, in a fetr days, have perfected a co-operative organization unlike anything heretofore tried in this etate, and before proceeding to tell what it is it may be briefly stated that its object is similar to that horse sense which would be eupposed to impel three families to pool their issues and buy a barrel of onions for Si .50 and divide,' instead of each paying S1.U0 for a bushel. It is often noticed that the wealthy can combine with facility and profit, but the poor very rarely, in this country at least, and the corporation noted proposes to endow the poor with the same power that the rich possess. The Pittsburg homestead co-operative association is a corporation organized on a plan which, plainly epeakinjr, means that all its members work together for the accomplishment of its business purposes; and is strictly a mutual corporation, as its members mutually contribute to its capital, which is employed for their mutual benefit. The oumoses for which it was chartered are the buying, selling, holding, leasing and improving of lands, tenements and buildings. The corporation was first suggested with a view to afford a better opportunity to people of small means of procuring their own homesteads, and the conclusion arrived at, that such an opportunity could be better obtained by an association composed of all such people, who by small periodical payments within their ability, to common capital, would in a quicker time get better homes at a cheaper price than by their own individual efforts. The feasibility of this plan had been demonstrated in New York City by a few workmen organizing an association composed of 1 .000 of their workmen, who each paid $1.50 a w eek into the association, and in the course of a year bought a large tract of land in the village of Mt. Vernon, a suburb of New York, ou the New Haven railroad, and furnished homes to all their members and many others who subsequently joined them. I his homestead Dlamsto oe put in oper ation here by this corporation. The periodical payments have been fixed at $1 per w eek, so as to make it available to people of limited means. The land is to be boueht in the city of Pittsburg or Alle gheny or suburbs, on the line of some speedy public means of travel, as near the present built-up portions oi tne city as possible, in such location as the members may determine, whenever sufficient capital has hoen amuired. On its purchase one lot is to be conveyed by deed to each member. The member is to obtain his lot at actual cost. The corporation also undertakes to build houses on all the lots, at cost price, on like easy terms. The membership is intended to be very large, it being estimated that it will run up to 10,000. The members have but one vote each. The membership is not re stricted, any person, male or female, of ROOd character, being eligible. Minors, it seems, are permuted oy law to Decome members and make contracts with the corporation, this being the only instance in which it can be done. One commendable feature that deserves notice i3 that a member can w ithdraw and get hia money back. This i.3 certainly the most beneficial scheme for tho betterment of our people of email means in its undertaking that has ever been introduced here, and with proper encouragement from the public in joining it, and strict attention to business and the exercise of good judgment, ought to result in an annex to our city of at least a thousand homes, and prove both a public benefit to the city and a personal benefit to the people. This is a novelty in real estate associations, being the only one of the kind in this country. It has no similarity in its organization or plan of business to the associations known as "homestead, loan and trust companies." It is chartered under an entirely different act of the assembly from any other real estate corporation doing business here. In the manner of carrying on its business it very closely resembles building and loan associations. Cities like Philadelphia owe the extent to what their improvements have reached very largely to such enterprises as this, and this seems like a move in the right direction, and one greatly needed to improve the thin settlements and outlying districts of our city, and cannot be too successful or have too many competitors. The leading idea of this plan that the people can help themselves to homes by concentrating their efforts is the true one. The principle of the power of centralization has leen recognized in most other things, but somehow seems not to have been applied in this direction heretofore. There is a radical difference between the.manner proposed for doing business by this corporation and that usually followed by building and loan associations. The money paid in is represented by stock certificate, and though a holder may sell his stock, he cannot borrow on it from the association, the object being to accumulate with a specific object and not dissipate energy by scattering the fund among a portion of the' members. Accordingly, they do not borrow. When there is money in the treasury it will be loaned or invested eo as to make monev Will buy sufficient

for all, until the accumulation is sufficient to buy a suitable tract of land. Up to this time a member may withdraw, but after the land is bought he simply has a right to his lot at a cost and without any profits going to middlemen or speculators, the object being to enable the poor to get homes thev could nerve acquire singly. AVhen the land is bought and paid for, and it must be paid for as the seller must secure his pay or be unable to collect it subsequently the dues will continue to be collected until each man has paid in one-third of the money necessary to build his house. Not until then will there be any mortgaging, but as soon as the 33 per cent, for building is accumulated the association will contract at wholesale rates, and mortgages be given the contractors, and so the grind will go on. If a man does not want his ' house so soon he can hold off cntil his stock is worth the whoje amount necessary to pay for the building. The law under which the corporation i3 formed does not allow it to go into debt. It may lend, but must not borrow. After the first series has run its course, it is the purpose to start another for people who may wish to build more expensive houses, and they will be allowed to pay $5 or more a week, and they can build Queen Annes or any other kind of palaces they see fit, but the primary object is to assist the very poor, something after the fashion of the old time "bee" or "frolic." The pioneers by these methods did their heavy work, such as log rolling, house building, etc., work that could not be done by individual effort, and in days when the individual had no money with which to hire help. The promoters feel sanguine of success, and expect to revolutionize building and loan methods, which they say are not adequate to provide very poor people with homes, as a man who can only eave $1 a week cannot in a lifetime secure a lewerage in the present building associations sufficient to buy himself a comfortable home. A meeting for organization has been called for .Saturday evening. It is estimated that if 10,000 houses worth $1,000 each all costing 510,000,000, were built, half of it would bo labor; $5,000,000, which would be consumed, for if not put into this shape it would go into products the making of which add but little to the wealth of a country and less to the comfort of the purchasers. The argument is similar to that of political economists, that there is no money profit in making whisky unless the product is sold in foreign countries. They, in this case, look at it in the light that a little exhilaration now and then is not profitable. GROWING IMPATIENT.

The Oklahoma Boomers Anxious to Get Into tho "Promised Land. Ar.KAXSAS Citt, Kas., April 11. The population of this place has increased one-third during the past week. Two thousand eager boomers are here, and at least another thousand are along the line south of here. The half dozen hardware etores have sold out their entire ptock and the demand is not half supplied. The boomers are forming into small colonies of 250 persons, and are devising schemes to. outwit their neichbors and get into the heart of Oklahoma by the appointed time. There is a feeling all along the border that there will be a general forward movement into the territory on the night of April 20. Boomers who have been here all winter have picked out their land, and they are suspicious and afraid of the new comers. They don't propose to have the land they fought and bled for jumped by recent arrivals. The have pickets in hiding in the Oklahoma woods who are keep, ing them posted. Word was received to-day that the boomers on the Texas border were becoming very impatient, and they were liable to march m before the 22d and seize their claims before daylight on that date. A panicky feeling prevails all around and threats of a very sanguinary character are bein? made by old boomers. They claim they developed the agitation that led to the opening of the territory, and that now land sharks are trying to get possession of their property. The suite line for hundreds of miles is dotted with "prairie schooners." All are preparing for the flight into the promised land. Many settlers, whose geography is faulty, are already from ten to fifteen miles in the territory and still claim they are in Kansas. Too Big- a Job. y. Y. Weekly.
