ANNUAL REUNION OF
NORTHUP FAMILY
One Hundred nnd Twenty-five De
scendants Gather at Dalton Inter
esting Exercises Held.
The third nnnual leunlon of the
Northup family was held on Saturday
at Glenburn, In a shady maplo grove
on the old John Northup farm and
now owned by his grandson, Jonn
Northup. About one bundled and
twenty-live were present from url
ous surrounding plares, representing
six generations, the oldest being Henry
W. Northup, of Glenburn, who is sixty
two j ears of age, and tho youngest,
Gotland Northup, nged three months,
nnd son of Ernest Northup, of Hyde
Park, Seranton. Tho Northup family
is one of the most excellent and promi
nent families in Northeastern Penn
sylvania. In the eighteenth century
their ancestors emigrated from Eng
land and settled first In the Eastern
states. Many of them were associated
with the struggles for our national in
dependence, nnd some occupied promi
nent positions in the war of tho Revo
lution. Jeremiah G. Northup, the
grandfather of the piesent tldei Nor
thups, was born In Rhode Island, near
Narracansett liaj, July 20, 1771, and
died on his new farm in Abington,
August 20, 1S1J. Near tho close of the
eighteenth century, Jeremiah murld
Deborah Arnold, of Rhode Island, and
to them were bom thice sons and fom
daughtei.s, John, Job A., Emanuel,
Mary, Phoebe, Sarah and Almli i.
These ate all the pircnts nn 1 grand
patents of the Notthup family, nil of
whom came from Rhode Island nnd
settling hero In the wilderness of
Pennsjlvanla In the early das of th
nineteenth century. Some brought
with them wives, husbands and fam
ilies, othets married after coming here.
We quote tho following from a his
torical sketch of the Northup family,
prepaied by Henry W. Northup and
lead at the reunion on Saturday by
Attorney J. W. Browning, of Seran
ton: "John Northup, the eldest son of
Jeremiah G. Northup, was mairled to
Patience Clark in Rhode Island, ard
they had four sons nnd two daugh
ters, Clark, Jeiimiah G., Nicholas C.,
Joseph P, Clatisa and Maty Etti.
John Notthup with Patience, his wife,
moved on the new farm In Pennsjl
vanla, vvhete they spent the remaining
part of their lives In the fall of 1317
Here ho commenced with his ae in
the wilderness to provide not for lux
uries, but for the real necessities of
life. Mnry Northup, the eldest daugh
ter of Jeremiah G. Notthup, was mar
lied to Thomas Smith In Rhode Island.
They moved to Pennsjlvanla the same
time that John and Patience did.
Thomas Smith and Maty, his wife,
became the parents of three sons nnd
four daughtets, namely, Chandler,
Jeremiah, Thomas, LouKi, Samantha,
Harriet and Sarah. Job A., tho second
son of Jeremlth G, came to Pennsjl
anla the same time with John, his
brother, and Thomas Smith, the
brother-ln-lnw. Job A. was mairled to
Delilah I'atker, daughter of Stephen
Parker, tesldlng then In Ablngton.
Job A. Northup nnd Delilah, his wife,
became the parents of thiee sons ard
two daughtets, Stephen A., Jeremiah,
Levi J., Mary A and Phoebe. Eman
uel, the third and youngest son of
Jeremiah G. Northup, came to the
wilderness home In Pennsylvania, ac
companied by his father and mother
and three slsteis, in June, ISIS. He
was then but fifteen years of age, nnd
drove two jokes of oxen, and hart
charge of the wagon cairjlng the
household furniture and little conveni
ences that were to be placed in tho
new home. Two weeks waB con
sumed In making this Journey. At tho
age of twenty-six years, January 31,
1S29, Emanuel was married to Miss
Sophia Miller, daughter of Rev. John
Miller, of Ablngton. One son and four
daughters were born to them, Mary
Emilj', Almirn, Phoebe A, Heniy W.
nnd Phoebe Sophia. In 1843 his wife
died, and he was mairled again to
Miss Emily E. Hall, and five sons
w ore born to them, John C , George
E., Charles AV Edgar J. and Trank
C. Northup. Phoebe, the second daugh
ter of Jeremiah G. Northup, came Into
the now settlement with her parents,
nnd afterwards married Cjrus Colvln,
of Ablngton, nnd they became tho par
ents of four sons and two daughtets
Augustus, Philip, Perry, John D ,
Arties and Debotah. Sarah, the thltd
daughter of Jeremlih G. Northup,
married Philip Stone, of Ablngton,
They becamo tho parents of two chil
dren, Emanuel and Mitandn. Almirn,
the youngest of Jeremiah G. Northup's
children, married Levi Lllllbridge.
They became tho parents of thiee sons
and two daughters, Jerome O., John
N. nnd Jeremiah G."
Shortly after noon tables, which haa
been prepared underneath the maple
trees, were bountifully spread with
eatables nnd nil enjojed the partak
ing of them. After all hud been served,
Henry Atherton, of Seranton, entei
talned the company with a number of
phonograph selections.
Besides the reading of a paper al
ready referred to by Mr. Biownlng, i
paper on "Early Pioneers" was read
by Mr. Atherton, and a brief address
was given by Rev Robert R. Thomp
son, pastor of tho Dalton Baptist
church. About 4 o'clock tho company
wero treatpd to Ico cream and cake.
The nnnual election of ouicers of the
reunion was held, whin insulted as
follows: President, Henry W. Nor
thup; vice-president, John D. Colvins
secretary, Winifred Noithupj treat-
unr, John Northup; committee of ar
rangements, J. W. Browning, Martin
Denn, 13. J. Northup. It was decided
to hold the next reunion nt tho same
place on August 1C, 1901.
A very attractive feature of the oc
casion was the exhibition of fnmlly
relics which had been gathered from
nmong tho various members of the
fnmllj'. Many of them were quite
nnclcnt, the oldest being a small solid
silver spoon, made about 160 years
ago. During the Revolutionary war
this spoon was secreted In order to
preserve it. There was tho wheel for
manufacturing broken flax Into linen
thread, a large wheel for spinning
woolen yarn for stockings nnd cloth,
reel for winding yarn and snapping
when knot wns completed, part of an
old churning machine, spool wheel for
preparing yarn, pinchers used by
Jeremiah G. Northup In repairing
shoes, his old fnmlly Bible, one hun
dred years old, and account book with
accounts In them dating back as far
as August, 1779, kept for a time in
pounds, shillings nnd pence, belns one
hundred nnd twenty-one years old.
Tho camphor bottle used by Mis.
Jeremiah G. Northup wns exhibited,
being one hundred yenrs old. Many
of them smelted for camphor odor, but
alas! could detect none. There was a
book printed In Frovldence, R. I., in
1795, a garden hoe made by John New
man, a blacksmith; the bush hook and
crowbar used In clearing up the wil
derness nnd getting them Into con
dition for cultivation: the old family
clock, over 100 years old; a table over
eighty years, the Beat of tho pleasure
wagon in which Jeremiah Northup
brought his fnmlly Into Pennsylvania,
a piece of iron out of the first top
buggy made In Rhode Island, ox yoke
used in clearing timber land, fire
shovel nnd tongs one hundred yoirs
old, deer trap by which venison was
supplied for 'the family, nn old sword
nnd bayonet used In the Revolution,
a brnss candle-stick given to Sophia
Miller, wife of Emanuel Northup, by
her father as a part of her outllt
when married, nnd many other things
of interest. The day wns a most en
joyable one to all. Relatives mot who
had not seen each other for years, nnd
relatives became acquainted for the
first time with each other. The oldest
person present was Augustus Ather
ton, of Glenburn, who Is eighty-six
years of nge. Among those present

if HER POINT OF VIEW
Asbury Park and Ocean Grove have
a reputation for godliness which is
pat My real and partly a fairy tale. It
Is real as far as Ocean Grove is con
cerned, but. as to Asbury, It Is a ghast
ly mockerj'. Yet Asbury is a beautiful
and well ordered city. There are rules
nnd they are more or less observed.
Founder Bradley sajs: "Let Asbury
bo clean," and It is clean. Not a scrap
of paper, not a remnant of an excur
sionist's lunch box, not a battered bath
hat Is allowed to remain on the neat,
carefully groomed streets and parks
and sidewalks. People move with de
eoium nnd cvei the automobiles and
the tally-ho parties subside In their ec
centric cavortlngs nnd tootlngs while
In tho classic precincts There ate no
unseemly sights nnd few unearthly
noises The rules and legulatlons are
so many and comprehensive that uiey
make your head ache and cause a
stltfness in the back of your neck be
cause of multitudinous efforts to peruse
the staring placards.
They are full of "donts" Don't do
this. Don't do that. Don't swear.
Don't scatter broken bottles and tacks
on the shore. Don't wear Immodest
costumes. Don't eat lunches in this
spot. Don't sit in that. Don't talk
too loud. Don't deface buildings.
Don't go here In a bathing suit, and
don't forget jour bath-house number.
Don't ride bicycles here. Don't ride
one anywhere else.
A man stopped on the boardwalk
yesterday and swore softly for about
ten minutes. "I'm going to break
every one of these rules," he ejacu
lated to the wondering populace. "It's
maddening to see them stuck up every
vvhere. I know eight or ten fellows I
can get together and If we won't just
astonish these two plates some of
these nights," and then ho shook his
hend belllgerentlj'.
One of the legends which arises all
over tho place In large and painfully
clear letters is to the effect:
"Walking through the streets In
bathing costume is coarse and vulgar
nnd besides is forbidden by the city
ordinance." Now, this statement,
which simply yells at you from every
point of view along the boardwalk, is
remarkable for its redundancy. Why
should It be necessary to declare that
It Is coarse and vulgar when the sim
ple statement that It is prohibited is
sutilclent?
Then, too, why is it coarser and more
vulgar to walk along the streets ar
rayed In the simplicity of a bathing
suit than to stand on one's head in the
surf, or Ho with your head In some
girl's lap on the bench, or do weird
and ungainly stunts while giving nn
Imitation of swimming. But the fiat
has gone forth that It Is vulgar to
walk through the streets In a bathing
costume. Hence It Is vulgar. Hence
nobody walks thus habited, although
everybody frisks more or less blithely
up and down the board walk in every
sort of Rnrment which It hath entered
Into the heart of man or woman to de
vise for disporting In the waves.
Nowhero on the faco of the earth, or
tho waters that bo under the earth,
are such weird garments seen as here.
They range from the gay and festlvo
rowing Jersey of the college boy to the
extremely sedate and modest blue
flannel mnde with "pantalettes" or
bloomers Med soberly about the ankles
and the blouse securely fastened high
nt the throat. Tho outllt Is completed
by tho inverted basket, which would
transform a Venus into n fright. This,
of course, exaggerates the ample flguic
of some large lady who has escaped
from Ocean Grove. No young and at
tractive woman Is ever found In this
disguise. Indeed, It is possible that
only those who have found life a bar
ren waste are ever discovered thus
disfigured. It takes courage to wear
even tho most becoming bathing cos
tume that was ever Invented, for the
average woman certainly tests the love
nnd constancy of her ndmlrers when
thus appareled, but to don one of
those blue flannel horrors Is to confess
herself out of Joint with the world
nnd beyond the power of sea baths
or physical training or facial massage
to rejuvenate.
There was a man in tho water today
who was striving according to his
lights to emulate tho broad lady in
the blue flannel bloomers. He wore
long, (lapping green trousers, which
were draped round his nnkles nnd the
ankles of victims In his vicinity In the
water. He was equally discreetly clad
as to his neck nnd nrms nnd he really
attracted considerable attention among
the throng of bathers nt tho fashion
able Fourth avenue pavilion.
It Is Founder Bradley's idea and
also the idea of the wise authorities
of Ocean Grove that a bathing suit, to
pass muster at these resorts, shall be
as Inconspicuous as possible. Conse
quently a fastidious policeman em
phatically urged a young fellow In an
exceedingly airy jersej', as regards a
lack of sleeves, to come out of the
water and provide himself with a more
modest apparel. Ktlll there are many
seen every day wearing similar gar
ments. Indeed, the restrictions have
been vastly modified during the years,
Sunday regulations are made less
stringent and the bathing on Sunday
is notable. The Sunday night "sacred"
concerts nre quite gay In character,
nnd, Indeed, tho programme can
scarcely be distinguished from those
provided on any afternoon or evening.
Last Sundny night the band at Brad
ley's pavilion was giving itr custom
ary concert when the listeners who
could see the upper stand reserved for
tho musicians were highly delighted
and amused at the vision of
a small coloicd girl In a com
mon cotton frock paiadlng to
and fro in a self-appointed cake walk.
Site paid no attention to the evident
appreciation of the crowd and while
the band took mc uproarious applause
as a tribute to Its pcrformart", the
little maid conscientiously proceeded
with l.er part of the programme lift
ing her shnbby skirts and posing with
the utmost unconsciousness. About
the third number of the cake walk the
unholy performance was dlscoveted
by the vigilant officer down in the pa
vilion and the small performer sudden
ly and Ignomlnlously disappeared lrom
view likewise most of the audience
at the band concert.
The New York Herald has been nd
vertlsed extensively during the past
few days. One of the newest placards
gravely quotes that Journal to the ef
fect that it is men who most offend by
the immodesty of their attire at the
Jersey Coast resorts. This quotation
is apparently Intended as a hint to the
bathers at Asbury and to encourage
women In their seemly attire on the
beach. I saw one 'esterdaj how ever
a woman, I mean who must have es
caped the argus eye of the beach cen
sor, for she wore a white costume
which, teally, on her too plump figure,
scarcely left enough to the Imagina
tion. Probably because of too marked
attentions to another feminine bather
aforesaid censor neglected to his duty
In the case of the white-robed damsel.
The lady who was occupying his time
had emerged from the surf wearing
no stockings. The representative of
the law spotted her at once and began
to remonstrate In shocked tones. She
was unable to get a hearing until he
had delivered an oration embracing
most of the text to be found on tho
placards about the bath houses and
boardwalk. As soon ns she could make
herself heard she fairly shouted at
him: Do you suppose I'm going round
without stockings from choice, you
blooming idiot? Why don't you regu
late your old vvaes so thej won't tear
people's clothes off. I didn't want to
lose those stockings. Goodness gra
cious, they wete nice open-work ones
and cost 4S cents only this moinlng.
'Improper to be seen without stock
ings.' Don't jou suppose I know it?
Ooh h h!" and then she plumped
herself down on the sand and wept
aloud while the officer backed hastily
away muttering something about safe
ty pins.
Asbury Park Is under the local op
tion regime. You can't buy Intoxi
cants at a drug store w ithout a pre
scription! and most of the hotels pro
fess to bo strictly temperance in prin
ciple, but it Is well understood that
nt the Coleman a certain little room Is
well patronized nnd there are other
places this side of Long Branch where
the thirsty Individual will not bo
turned away to perish. But Pounder
Bradley does certainly keep an argus
eye over his domain and it is one where
the quietly disposed individual may
take a summer vacation without being
scandalized by the unquiet of either
sex. At least this Is true of Daven
port Inn, whose piazzas so close to the
sea are the envy of thousands of pass
ersby who must trudge on through
t.io heat to moto remote accommoda
tions Here on tho Inn verandas every
afternoon you will see Professor Ford,
the well known lecturer nnd entertain
er, clad In Immaculate white flannels
and propounding a series of new con
undrums to nn admiring audience.
Hero you will find a ceitnln beautiful
young woman whose stage enreer
promises to be something enviable
nnd whoso coldness and dignity are
the vexation of two or three Lotharios
In the house. Here, too, are the frisky
widow, the stern-eyed matron, the In
nocent girl and the man terribly in
love with his young wife, whose gowns
nre the despair and envy of her
friends and enemies. Oh, it is a good
place at which to study character.

in the price of St 1'aul and Omaha of 4 over
that of yesterday on a single transaction Amer
ican Tobacco gained 1?, Republic Steel Pre
ferred as much and Pullman 14. Iad Preferred
lost IVi in addition to jisterday's VJ point de
cline, without any new to explain the move
ment bejond report9 of poor husineta. The
common stock fell to the Ion est price on reo
ord. Sugar advanced a fiolnt in the morning,
but most of tho Rain was lost in tho late deal
ings. These comprise the only movements worth
individual mention in the day'a stock market
The significance of the market continues purely
negative, the determined restraint of the specu
lation marking the wait In for a solution of
the many Klnts of uncertainty in the situation
The bank statement confirmed pretty tloecly to
expectation, the export of gold for today
amounting to $3 250,(100, evidently not figuring
in the statement Total sale', ( 2,KK) share
The iond market has shown synipitlutic apathy
with stocks all week. U S old la declined s4,
and the new 4s H in the bid price
