M. E. CHURCH 75 YEARS OLD.
Tho First Church Edifice Was Erect
ed by the Methodists.
Last Sunday, the 24th, the Meth
odist church of this place celebrated
and on next Sunday will continue
to celebrate the seventy-fifth an
nlversary of its organization. It
was formed prior to 1834, but there
are no records previous to that date.
An early day circut rider planted
the seed of Methodism here. The
first church edifice erected in Hones
dale was built by the Methodists in
1834 on the lot near where the first
locomotive, the Stourbrlge Lion,
turned a wheel on the American
continent. The lot was donated by
John Torrey. In 1845, owing to a
rapid Increase of population, the
church was enlarged. The town
grew and tho membership of the Me
thodist church grew proortlonately
until it was apparent that a new lo
cation must be secured and a new
edifice of worship built. The site of
the present handsome brick church
was purchased and the building
erected at a cost of $50,000. The
enterprise was inaugurated by Rev.
J. O. Woodruff and completed by
Rev. H. M. Crydenwise In 1873.
Rev. Mr. Crydenwise was in Hones
dale last Sunday and occupied tho
pulpit both morning and evening,
For a number of years after the

mott. The church membership, un
der the efficient pastorate of Rev,
William H. HUler, has grown to
about 600, and Its other soclotles are
lso .in a healthy condition.'' Ho is

when the conference meeting at
Owego, N. Y., recognized Honesdale
as a separate station and assigned
Rev. P. G. White to tho pastorage.
From 1825 to 1841 inclusive, a new
pastor was assigned every year to
the local church.

THE SEVENTH AMENDMENT.
The seventh amendment which
some ofour Democratic friends are
worried over, and which in their dis
eased mental condition they think is
full of imaginary snakes, was drafted
by the Democrats of Philadelphia
and Allegheny counties for the rea
son that they found that so large was
the Republican majorities in these
localities that tne Democrats were
unable to get any representation on
the election boards as in many in
stances Republicans controlling the
Democratic primaries and placing
whom they pleased on the Democratic
ticket as candidates for Judge and
Inspector of election. They expected
the Legislature would arrange that
In cases of this kind the Judge of

to select inspectors of elections from
names recommended by the county
committees of the two leading polltl
cal parties.

Charles M. Schlatter, famous a
few years ago as a "healer" who
claimed to cure 111 by divine power
was found dead in a room at a
local hotel at Hastings, Neb., one
day last week. Doctors say he died
of old age. He was widely known.
Francis Schlatter, as he was
known In the Central West, made
his first appearance as a healer
among the Mexicans of New Mexico
in July, 1895.
A Mexican girl, crippled, deform
ed and sickly, had been put aside
by her family. To the mother of the
girl came a strange man with a
spreading beard, long hair and
kindly eyes. He offered to cure the
child and the next day the child was
walking, upright, cured of her atV
flictlon: ; i
At least such was the story that
spread. Others came to the healer.
Diseases that had baffled tho physi
cians appeared to depart under the
touch of the strange person. Pco-
pie from dlBtant points began com-
lng to him, and all departed with
the same result.
Schlatter finally started for Albu
querque and when he reached there
he found his fame had preceded him.
Up to that time most of his patients
had been Mexicans, hut now Ameri
cans came. His fame ultimately
was, spread by telegraph and he went
to Denver. There Schlatter began
a fast that lasted forty days. All
the while he continued to heal.
Persons of nil classes gathered in
such numbers that the healer was
unable to accommodate them In his
house and they passed before him, as
he stood on the porch.
He would lean over and take tho
hand of the patient, while he prayed
with each one. He also blessed
handkerchiefs, caps and other arti
cles to be used as instruments of
healing.
People literally came by the thou
sands. He refused to take money and
gavo credit for his work to " The
Father.'
"It is not I who does it," said he.
Later Schlatter was credited with
having claimed to be the reincarna
tion of Jesus Christ. He traveled
In various parts of the country,
pursuing his healing wherever he
went. Ultimately Schlatter disap
peared and' for several years was
lost to public view. He was report
ed to have perished in a Mexican
desert while his friends declared
he had gone to a ranch for rest.
In the summer of 1902 Schlatter
reappeared In Chicago, after having
lived in seclusion for five years. He
declined to say where he had been,
merely stating he thought It better,
In view of the many false prophets
who had arisen, that he disappear
for a time.
