Ilczekiah May, who blazed the way for Presbyterians in Northwestern Pennsylvania, was bora at Haddnm, Con necticut, on December 25th 1773, and died in Tionesta, Pa., July 4th, 1843. His life was an eventful one, In youth he witnessed the closing scenes of the Rev olutionary war. In early manhood we Una him a student at xale college, irom which he graduated about the time he became of age. He was particularly gift ed as a linguist, being proficient in Latin, Greek, Hebrew and German. In after life his ability as a linguist was of great value to him, lifter having studied theol ogy he was appointed a missionary to the early settlers and the Penobscot Indians of Maine, by the New England Society for the propagation of the gospel in the district of Maine. Moving to Bangor and preaohing to the early settlers there, and at Oldtown in Maine, an Indian settle ment some twenty miles above Bungor, on the I'enoDscot river, uciore no went to Maine ho was married to Marga ret White, of Boston, Mass., a lincral de scendant of an early Puritan family. It was at Bungor that his oldest son was born, Benjamin, on September 3, 1808, who it will be remembered died at Tio nesta Januory 19, 1901. He was the last survivor of the original family. His wife was a lady of excellent ability and a fit companion for the young minister She was his companion all his life and sur vived him many years, dying on July 4, 1808. Just a quarter of a century after his death. This coincidence was noted by many friends and relatives. He remain ed at Bangor preaching to the whites and Indians for several years with great acceptance. While stationed in Maine he wrote for his friend. Jedcdiah Morse, the great American geographer, a history of the "Burnt Woods ol Maine," wnicn is an article of great merit, an excellent field for Mr. Mays line descriptive pow ers. (See Morse s universal ueogrnpny article on Maine ) About 1816 wishing to educate his family he removed to Binehampton. N. Y., and at Oswego re mained for awhile, after this at Painted Post preaching over a large district of country, establishing churches away down in Northern Pennsylvania, down as far as Northumberland county and do ing great good. In looking over his journals I have been amazed at the ground he went over. After leaving Painted Post, N. Y., we find him at Franklin, Pa., preaching tnere ana at Unity church in 1830 and 1831, where he lived for 2 years preaching there and in that vicinity two years. The churches were small and weak in that day. About this time having a large family to sup port and raise, he being still under the auspices of the New England society mentioned, his friend, the celebrated Elias Boudinot, the founder of the Ameri can Tract Society, understanding his circumstances gave him a tract of land of about 1 ,000 acres at what is known as Oldtown Flats, three miles above Tio nesta to which place Mr May with his family removed and settled upon. Here he preached to the people an inrougn this section during his life. Tionesta then being a village he moved to it and established a church, at the same time his sons built a saw null at Oldtown and farmed the flats The place Mr. May bought at Tionesta was on the north side of a tract of 200 acres, which had been taken ud by Lieutenant John Range, a soldier of George Washington's army, who took it by virtue of military warrant. Range divided the place into tracts and gave it to his two sons, John and James Range. Mr. May purchased the upper part, which is now coverea with what is the north part of Tionesta borough. After his removal to Tionesta the German settlers began to arrive and settle on the lands surrounding the place. They were by Herman Blum, an old soldier of the Napoleon's campaigns, a man of considerable ability and culture, Iwlth him Mr. May speedily tormea an Wequaintance and rapidly acquired the language too for he was in this like nis relative David Brainerd, "The apostle to the Indians" speedy in the acquisition of languages and in a short time Mr. May could talk German as volubly as a na tive to the manor born. Consequently ho not only acted as a spiritual adviser to the German's coming into this coun try, but was their temporal adviser too and during his life was their trusted counsellor keening them clear of litiga tion and shielding themirom imposition. In short he was regarded by thein as an oracle, his word being both law and gospel. A man of marked and decided character, his good example ana teacn ings left their impress on the community to this day. He was a pioneer oi enter prise and right, carrying the faith of his fathers to a new region, giving a good example in industry and application, was the man providentially sent to this sec tion for food. If it is true what the poet says "That kind words can never die," then all is true and that is strength ened in his case by more than words, ior he gave both the precept and the ex ample Many children were named for him one young man nezcKiun amy Range always gave his name in full. Ilczekiah even imitated him so far as to wont to be a preacher, commenced to study but had peculiar ideas as to re ligious services. Having been given a life of David Brainerd, for a starter on his theoloiffcal course he returned it to Mr. May who asked him what he thought of David Brainerd by this time. He said, "Well Mr. May he was a big gun no mistake, but I tell you now don't you think he was lust a little behindhand in relieion." He wrote a little poetry some times. There was an early settler Poland Hunter, who lived on the west side of the river and who owned a largo island known to this dav as Hunter's island. Straying animals from Tionesta village often got over on this island, injuring the crops, this of course aggravated Mr. Ilsmter very much and some of them were injured by him in the heat of his excitement on each occasion. Mr. May had a horse and filly named Mike and Lid that on one occasion got over on to. his island. Poland with a hue and cry and a shot gun drove them away from the island, they swimming the river got over safely on the high bank and escap ed, air. May acscrmca tins wciucnt in verse t hus 1 Mike and Lid to get a mild, Went on to Poland's island, Pole was mad but I was glad When they got back on highland. He was great as a conversationalist, always cheerful, social and friendly. As a preaoher he was logical and precise, perhaps to much so, this prooeeded from his love of suoh works, as Dugald Stew art, mental philosophy, Euclid, Burns' philosophy. He knew well that the early settlers were better suited as a rule with very plain preaching than a controversional or logical - style, Therefore he was careful to be very plain and clear in his preaching. As a conversationalist he excelled most men and as a writer was excellent. He was a useful man in his day and he and Amos Chase, also Nathaniel D. Snowden, who succeeded him as pastor at Franklin were among the pioneers of Presbytcr ianism in Northwestern Pennsylvania and have left the impress of their lives upon the people of this section. It is worthy of note that the late Rev. J. V. McAninch, so highly valued the memory of this pioneer of the faith, that ho de sired to be buried near him. This wish was carried out by his friends and they sleep near each other in our beautiful cemetery and it may be added that in the new Presbyterian church two beauti ful memorial windows on each side of the pulpit to perpetuate the memory of these worthies. e. d. i. UTTLE USE FOR JAILS Forest County Has No Prisoner, Ven ango Only One. Franklin, Pa., March 1. Venangi and Forest counties are believed tc hold a record for goodness.

BLOCKS TRACK FOR MANY HOURS Landslide Hear West Bellevue Gives Fort Wayne Big Job, Pittsburg, March 1. A small army of workmen were rushed to a point just east of West Bellevue Sunday afternoon, where they worked for 12 hours with picks, shovels, drills, dyna mite and a steam shovel to clear west bound passenger tracks of the Pitts burg, Fort Wayne and Chicago rail road, which were covered with rock and earth caused by a landslide. At 4:30 p. m. an employe noticed a large rock above the track give way and drop to the passenger track, car rying with It smaller rocks and dirt. He notified the nearest agent to stop all westbound trains. Workmen ex perienced In the use of dynamite were sent to the scene and worked with drills and blasted until after 3 o'clock .Monday morning before the tracks wen; cleared and traffic renewed over this track. Thn point Is a dangerous one, as the track runs close along the side of the hill which was cut down to make space for laying the tracks, and the rock was one of the largest along the trades at that point. It has been watched ar.d never gave any indica tion of being loose. BRADFORD IS FLOODED Dynamite Is Being Used to Disgorge Ice In Creek. Bradford, March 1.

FOR GENERAL STRIKE Central Labor Union Backs Up the Striking Car Men. Sunday Wat a Day of Almost Continu ous Rioting Car That Was Derailed by Blocking of a Switch Crashed Into a Building and a Boy Was Kill ed and a Man Fatally Injured Boy and Two Women In the Store Nar rowly Escaped Death. Union labor In the city of Phil adelphia voted Sunday night to back p the striking motormen and conduc es in their fight against the Phll idelphla Rapid Transit company. The Central Labor union, after a secret meeting of 600 delegates, voted for ,i general Rtrlke to go Into effect next Saturday. Sunday was a day of almost con .inuous rioting In which a boy was killed and sixty persons were hurt. It waB one of the worst days Philadel adelphla has suffered since the em ployes of the P. R. T. walked out Individual Unions to Vote. The order for a general sympathtlc strike was determined on as the only means to force the Rapid Transit com pany to arbitrate with its men. The heads of ur'ons allied with the Amal gamated, the car men, declared frank ly that their principal purpose was to make the company give In. Their reason for postponing the strike until next Saturday was that the company may be forced by public opinion to agree to arbitration. In that event the general strike order will be re scinded. , The action of the Central Labor union puts It up to the Individual unions to vote whether they want to strike. The danger In declaring a a general strike to go Into effect next men will have the active help of per haps 0,000 idle men. A southbound car turned east at Jackson street and the conductor was In such a hurry to dodge bricks that he failed to throw back the switch. After the car had gone on some one placed a piece of wood In the switch to hold It open. , Derailed Car Crashed Into Store. There were three passengers on the car following. It was attacked so viciously at Dickinson street that the three threw themselves on their faces. Stones and bricks crashed through the windows. A policeman on the front platform, struck with a brick, fired Into the crowd but hit nobody. The motorman twisted his controller clear over and the car ran ahead at top speed. It was getting dark. The mo torman failed to notice that the switch was blocked open. The car took the switch with a terrific jerk, righted Itself, shot ahead the length of the switch, bounded across a sidewalk and drove Into the wall of a store at the south west corner of Fifth and Jackson. Tha impact was so heavy that the wall gave way, letting the nose of the car into the store. The motorman and conductor jumped before the smash but the policeman was caught and In jured. Charles McKenna, a 10-year-old boy could not get out of the way and was pinned between the car and the wall. He died half an hour later In the Methodist hospital. John E. Freserlck was crushed In the same way and can not survive hli Injuries. The others who were hurt are three boys, Abra ham Sklnsky, Raymond Tralnor and Edward Moore. A boy and two women In the store narrowly escaped death. The car whirled a heavy counter from lta place. The women and the boy were caught behind the counter. They were squeezed but not seriously hurt. It required 100 policemen to clear the street. CHICKENSJLY HIGH Price Asked For Fowls In Chicago Market Eclipses That of Civil War Times. Chickens are flying high. Fowls, better known as old hens, sold at ITi cents a pound live, and at 18 cents dressed. This is the highest price ever asked In the Chicago wholesale market for the feathered fowl and to tally eclipses the high prices of the civil war. Se-veral reasons are given for the high prices now prevailing. Cold weather seems to be the principal fac tor. A good many of the fowls are Raid to have been frozen during the winter, while shippers are afraid to send In stock when the thermometer Is close to zc;-o for fear that their consignments would never reach the market alive. MRS. HARRIMAN BUILDS ROAD To Separate Arden Estate From Land She Donated to the State. Desiring io ntparate the 10,0(10 acres which Bhe recently offered the Btute as a state park from the main llarrl man estate, Mrs. Mary llarrlman la building a boundary road nine miles long through the estate at Arden which will be one of the finest roads hi the state.

Mrs. Harriman has also just donated a site for a new station at Turner, Orange county, to the Erie railroad. The new station will be 600 feet east of the present station. HIGHER MILK LIKELY Producers at Meeting Say They Can't Stand Freight Rate. 1'nleff"! the public service commis sion. Second district, decides that the railroads must reduce their present rate of two cents a gallon on milk shipped Into Buffalo, the milk produc ers will raise the cost of the dealers In the city, and the latter will prob ably boost the price to the consum ers. This was the ultimatum handed out by officers of the Western New York Milk Producers' association .after a heated meeting in Council hall. While no official action was taken, the con sensus of opinion of the 100 or more producers present was that this would be the outcome. Milk is now sold to the dealers at from 12'4 to 13 cents, the farmers or producers paying the freight to Buf falo. The claim of the dealers that they are paying 1314 cents was refuted when a rollcall showed but three pro ducers who got that price. In spite of this, however, the producers say the dealers raised the price last year to seven cents a quart to the consumers. "We must, either get a reduced rate from the railroads or raise the price to the dealers," said an official of the association after the meeting. "Prices of labor and food for our cows have gone up so that we are not making any money at present rates." BEEF TRUST INDICTED Motion to Be Made to Nullify Charter of National Packing Company. A motion to nullify the charter of the National Packing company, one of the corporations; indicted for con spiracy to raise the price of meat, by the Hudson county, N. J., grand Jury, will be made this week by Prosecutor Garven of Jersey City. Officials of Prosecutor Garven's of fice said that they had received assur ance from counsel of the Indicted cor porations and Individuals that the de fendants would appear when wanted for trial. Their indictment expressed In the terms of the old English common law, which are still employed In New Jer sey, Is probably the most picturesque and pungent philippic ever Issued from an American court. It places the culprits on the grill of the law, turns them over and lambasts them for the sins of two years back In a way that leaves no kind of de nunciation untried. The conviction of the persons con cerned would carry with In the possi bility of three years In prison. GROWTH OF TARIFF IDEA Unionist Amendment to Reply to King's 8peech Was Barely Defeated. The English house of commons voted on the official opposition amend ment to the address in reply to King Edward's speech offered by Austen Chamberlain, which amend ment raised tho fiscal question gen erally, with the result that It waa de feated by a vote of 285 to 254. The Redmondltes and most of the O'Brien ites abstained from voting. Although the result was foreseen the division was accompanied by much excitement and the announce ment of the result set the Unionists shouting "Where's your majority now?" The ministerialists Indulged In counter cheerlngs and the house for a while was In a hubbub. It may be recalled that an amend ment practically Identical with that offered by Austen Chamberlain was defeated four years ago by a vote of 488 to 9R. Tho protectionists trium phantly claim that the vote la an Indication of the growth of the tariff Idea. MISS STOKES' WILL All Kin Interested Agree to Her $1,400, 000 Charity.

Senator Root Says It Would Be Cause For Regret If the Amendment Were Rejected by New York He Doei Not"Flnd In It Any Meaning That Caused Governor Hughes' Objection. Why New York State Would Have to Pay 8uch a Large Part. Albany. March 1. With no com ment In the senate and but a word or two following Its reading in the as- rembly the letter of United States Senator Root to State Senator Fred erick M. Davenport taking issue with Governor Hughes on the Taft federal Income tax was read In both houses of the legislature last night. Senator Davenport read the letter to the senate and Clerk Smith In the lower bouse. The letter waa referred to the Judiciary committees of both houses and ordered printed. In the assembly Minority Leader Friable said he was glad' Buch an em inent Republican would so strongly ar gue a principle of the Democratic party. Assemblyman James Oliver said be was just as good a Democrat as Mr. Frisble but could not agree wiih the "masterful English of the Junior United States senator." Senator Root says In part: Much as I respect the opinion of the governor of the state, I cannot agree with the view expressed In his special message of Jan. 5, and as I advocated in the senate the resolu tion to siibmlt the proposed amend ment, it seems appropriate that 1 should state my view of Its effect Objection Made to Amendment The objection made to the amend ment Is that this will confer upon the national government the iiower to tax incomes derived from bonds Is sued by the states or under the au thority of the states, and will place the borrowing capacity of the state and Its governmental agencies at tho mercy of the federal taxing power. I do not find In the amendment any such meaning or effect. I do not con sider that the amendment in any de gree whatever will enlarge the tax ing power of the national government or will have any effect except to re lieve the exercise of that taxing pow er from the requirement that the tax shall be apportioned among the sev eral states. It would be cause for regret If the amendment were rejected by tho leg islature of New York. Spirit of Broad National Patriotism. It is said that a very large part of any Income tax under the amendment would be paid by citizens of New York. Thr.t Is undoubtedly true, but there Is all the more reason why our legislature should take special care to exclude every narrow and Bel fish motive from Influence upon IU action and should consider the pro posal in a spirit of broad national patriotism and should act upon It for the best Interests of the whole coun try. The main reason why tho citizens of New York will pay so large a part of the tax is that New York city la the chief financial and commercial center of a great country with vast resources and Industrial activity. For many years Americans engaged In develop ing the wealth, of all parts of the country hive bepn going to New York to secure capital and market their se curities and to buy supplies. Thous ands of men who have amassed fort unes In all sorts of enterprises in other Btatos have gone to New York to live because they like the life of the city or because their distant en terprises require representation at the financial center. The Incomes of New York are in a great measure derived from the coun try nt large. A continual stream of wealth pets toward the great city from the mines and manufactories and rail roads outside of Now York. The United States !s no longer a mere group of separate communities em braced In a political union; It has bo coino a product of organic growth, a vast Industrial organization covering and Including the whole country; and the relation of New York city to the whole organization of which It Is a part Is the great source of her wealth and the chief reason why her citizens will pay so great a part of an Income tax. We have the wealth becsuse be hind the city stands the country. We ought to be willing to share the bur dens of the ntitioual government In )he same proportion In which we share Its benefits.

ROOT 10 COM TH DOG BITES SEXTONS ONLY Montclilr Animal Able to Spot the Caretakers of House of Worship. Montclalr, N. J., March 1. Bob, a large yellow dog owned by Paul Fry of Bloom field avenue, has been locked up by his owner to keep him from bit ing church sextons. He came to Fry's establishment a few weeks ago and was adopted. He seemed to be gen tle, but recently be attacked James Cherterman, the sexton at St Luke's Protestant Eilscopal church, and bit Chesterman in the leg. The next day Murdock Robertson, -who has been sexton of the First Congregational thurch here for thirty years, was bit ten by Bob. Within 21 hours Bob took a bite out of the leg of the sexton of the Presby terian church on Grove street and tho excitement of this episode had hardly passed until he spotted the Janitor of a church In upper Montclalr passing along Bloomfleld avenue. This man escaped being bitten, for he landed a kick on the port side of Bob's Jaw that took the fight out of him. Tho sextons made complaint to Fry concerning the dog and the owner has decided to keep Bob locked up for a time. Persons who are familiar with the dog's record have added In gersoll to his name.
