Downfall of His Norwegian Colony in Pennsylvania, Villages in Ruins—Description of the Great Musician's Castle—~Disap- pointed Hopes—The Burial of a Violin, High up among the hemlock-covered mountains of this most desolate portion of Pennsylyania, far from civilization, writes a correspondent of the New York Telegram from Condersport, Pa., are the ruing of three smail villag Thirty years ago these were thriving settle- ments, founded and governed by the famons violinist, Ole Bull. When Ole Bull coneeived the idea of starting a Norwegian colony in these mountain fastnesses, he purchased a tract ot land forty mules square and brought over five or six hundred of his countrymen to make a settlement in this wild " region, which is not unlike with its rocky steeps, fertile green folinge. The settlers have many of them tumbled down, the farms have become overgrown with serub onks and bushes and the in habitants h ought homes elsewhere, many of them returning to the father- land, which they had left only to find cruel disappoiniment and bliglited hopes in the new world, of which they had heard and vead so much. The houses were bt in an odd, foreign sort of style, with windows and porches of the most unaccountable shapes in the most unex- pected places. Many of them are a sort of cross between a swiss chalet and an Indian bungalow, and a yisitor can easily make himself believe he is anywhere ex- ceptin America. The steep roofs and narrow, high porches are like those of the houses the colonists left behind in Norw. and would Jook still more strange wore there qny dwelling of the American style of arelutecty with which to contrast them. W BERC Leaving Condersport in an old-fash- ioned buckboard wagon, New Bergen is the first settlement reached. 'The post- oftice, which is the prineipal building, is asmull one-and-ahalf story structuve, which is used for a hotel, court house, hospital or auetion hall, as necessity de- muands, They e, if village it may be called, was originally ed in the little valley mow occupied by the postoflice alone; but it was soon 1moved to the hill near by, probably to escape the sprin floods which every year pour through the little valley, making a clean sweep. Half a dozen or. more ¢ looking, tumble-down dwelling houses are seat- tered on the steep hillside, and, with their basement stories and high porches, they look like a group of children’s block houses which a gust of wind might overthrow. THE VILLAGE OF OLEONA. A short distance from New Bergen is Oleona, which was to have been the ital of the new territory thut Ole Bu tended togovern, and near which his sidence, known as the Castle,fwas built, The vill 8 ed on a_ small platean, zed stream, fed by mountain springs, always furnished an abundance of pure water, and, although surrounded by hills, the platcan on which the yillage stood is_large enough for a good-sized town. But the town was never built, and even the little vil- lage could mnot hold its own after its founder and patron neglected it. Grad- ually it was deserted, the tenants moving away one ‘after another until now ther is little left except three or four houses, the hotel and one store. A QUEER HOTEL The hotel is kept by a_pleasant, intelli- nd thrifty looking Norwegian ,who says it was Iunl)t by Ole Bull, who at one time had a music hall attached to it, where he treated the settlers tosuch music as he never gave elsewhere. The hall has been torn down for firewood, and the admirers of the great musician, whose straing of melody seem to have been wasted in aspot like this, can only sce the foundations and wish it had been spared as a relic. The hotel isa rambling, two-story “frame building, with smal rooms. It was either built one room at a time or else without_any definite plan, as it is remarkable for its “carcles: ment. The windows are of all si doors of all widths and the ceili in height from seven o ten there is, after all, a touch of originality about it that commands respect. ON JCCESSFUL MAN Not far from the hotel, between the store and the stream, is the home of o wealthy Norwegian, who came to this country *o stay. He settled among the Jumbermen, ter the discontented grumblers had gone away, and h ceeded in making his fortanein a w ness where many men could not li months. Heis ‘the owner of the vill stor stock of cheap goods, such as lumbermen and sportsmen are likely to need. His home is ple thing about his place tells of thri centerprise. He llm'\ll(li believe the story that was told by certain patriotic Norsc- men to the effeet that }ruull was prac- ticed upon Ole Bull when Le hought the lands in Potter county, whereby an im- perfect title was g ‘This, the store- eeper says, is a e and bull story.’ The facts that Ole Bull tendered” in payment for the property certain drafts upon bankers who either failed in busi- ness or would not honor the drafts, and for this reason the owners of the land took back their property, Thisis not the usual version of the story of the failure of the colony, One thing is cortain, as the records of Potter county show. The settlers did not got good titles to their property, and this lod eventually to the disbandment, but whether it wasthe fault of Olo Bull o of some other person re- mains an unsettled question. ED VILL Oleon: over the cool, en mountains, through wooded purks, whero the pheas ant drams amid {anglers of alder, cl matis and sumac, we reach New Nor the last of the three s:ttlements, rom here Ole Bull's castle can be seen, on an eminence midway between Oleona and New Norway. From his castle win- dows the mild ruler of this little realm could see his men at work in_the valley bolow.

To the left of the castle is another stream, running through another chasm, across which is seen _another mountain, whose top is but half visible through the soft blue haze that surrounds it, while severa miles to the west is still another peak, apparently thrown directly across the streath, as if to keep it from leaving so delightfal a spot, and whose summit seems higher than any of the others, towering up until its blue top appears gradually to becots lost 18 the sky It re: sembles in colo AWAKENING FROM IS DREAM. t was in this room that the great mu- ian spent a whole year, and his friends ay that the bitterest” disappointment of his life was the awakening from the dream of 1 great. oolony il this favored spot. He had hoped to found a large, prosperous and reputable settlement, and iad been told that the mountains about here were filled with gold, silver and other ores, The colonists believed the wonderful stories he told them of this El Dorado in the new west, wi metals were waiting to enrich those who should search for them, and when months of patient toil failed to realize their hopes, and a dispute about the title of the lund arose, they were all ready to leave. BURYING A FAVORITE VIOL When Ole Bull left his castle on the Norjenskold Mountain, as the hill was called, he again went upon _the concert stage. Men who lived at New Norway tell strange stories about the grent mu- sician's habits. 1tis said that when he was perplexed or in trouble he wo take his violin and extemporize such w music as would sometimes make listeners shiver. There is another story that before he left the castle he buried in the neighborhood a favorite violin. . ALL MEN ARE BROTHERS. Some Figures Which Tend to Show That They Must Be Related, The number of a man’s ancestors, says a writer in Popular Science Monthly, doubles in every gengration as his descent is tr: upward. In the first on he reckons only two ances- his father and mother. In the second generation the two are converted into four, since he had two _grandfathers and two grandmothe But each of these four had two parents' and thus in the third generation there are eight an- cestors—thut is,cight gre: ndparents, In the fourth generation the number of ancestors 18 in the fifth, 82 in the sixth 64; in the s nth, In the tenth it has risen to 1,024;in the twenticth it becomes in the thirticth no fewer than 1,073,7 . To ascend no higher than the twenty-fourth generation we reach the sum of 15,777,215, which a Fr deal more than all the in- habitants of Great Britain when that generation was in existence. For if we reckon a generation at thirty-three years twenty-four of such will car 702 years, or to A, D. 1093, when William the conqueror had been slecping in his e‘ ve at en only six ye and hisson, lliam H, surnamed Rufus, was reign- ing over the land.

A Wordy Combat Waged Two Southern Editor: The editors of the Elberton Gazette and of the Toccon News in Georgia, two stanch democratic juornals, have for weeks been berating cach other unmerei- fuliy. So hot became the controversy that a challenge to mortal combat passed. N.

He declines to mein a_‘fisticuff;’ as he calls it, although he said in the Leader that ‘we are willing to give any _sort of satisfac tion he may want, and just whenever or wherever “he v say.” I am 50 years old.

The Anamota Penitentiary, Its Manage- meat and Its Ooanpants, A Visit to lowa's Great Orib — Tho Striped Brigade at Work — The Prison Wall—Nationality, Age, and Terms of Prisoners. Axavosa, Ia, Jan. 25.—[Correspon- dence of the Bre.]—When a person opens on asubjeot such as the Towa state penitentiary, he has one of great magni- tude and one which contains a great deal of thought and careful study to the yisitor as ho is ushered under the huge wall and emerges into the presence of numerous human beings, all wearing the fami suit of many pes, except now and ard carrying one of those noted Winchestor rifles, warranted to kill its aim at half a mile distance, Here he is met by the poor in flesh, the fat and hearty, and those in the last stages of consumption, who are shortly to pass to the world beyond from behind a con- vict's grate. Here,if in any spot on God's green earth, the soft spot in a man’s heart, no matter how hard it be, is touched, and he feels that of all creatures these convicts are the most miserable, But such is not always the case, as wil be shown further on, In my ramble through this mammoth and well disci- plined institution the first place I stopped at was THE PRISON LIBRARY ROOM, which is in_connection with the chapel. Here one of the prisoners is always to be found on duty, attending to the libra; which contains 2 ves of choice literature. esmprising history,biography travels, adventures, scientific and religi- , magazines and many otler works of great value to_ these men in their lonely cell-house. Mrs. A. C. Mer- rill is the chaplain. THE in which is the li the soutl CHAT ary, is a room 45545 in st corner, second story of the penitentiary proper. This room has n seating capacity of 300. On the walls are many appr )‘\ri te mottoes, among which are the following samples: “Peace on earth, good will to men,” and “He that cometh to me I will in nowise cast out.” In this room preaching services are held every Sunday, as is Sabbath school.

Their dishes are the s those commoply used by private famili except . the . salt-cellars, which are made of = wood are not re- moved from the tables as are the other dishes. In this room the prisoners take their breakfast and dinner, their supper being at the cell-house door.

On Sunday they have a general m and beans, white bread, potatoes, pickle cte.

It has been said by some that these prisoners do not get good substantial food, but one has only to go through and see the cooks at work to know that this is not true. S 4 gen thing, 5 set before these prison ited THE TAILOR SHOP, a neat room 80x16, in the northeast corner corner of the building, adjoining the boot and shoe shop.

In THE CARPENTER SHOP six men aro kept busy building w and repairing others, monding tools doing general carpenter work.

This room contains all the tools for accomplishing the diflerent work in steel, and a greac deal of work is done here for people from adjoining towns. H. B. Gleason. one of the best machinests in the state, has charge of this department, together with six convicts that do the work., A STONE SHED, This shop is 200 feot long and 87 feet wide, with an aisle down the center. On cither side of the entire length are some cighty men, all engaged in cutting and shaping the beautiful architectural work which makes the penitentiary noted the state over. As you walk dow rd but the aliok, olisk of the 1 look on either Site not a con om his work or ys any attention to you, and should a peak an oceasional word to one of them, he is surprised to receive no an- swer, not even a look, but they all bear a csemblance to the stone they are cutting so far as talking is concerned. Besides these stone entters there isa yard gang employed in operating the huge derricks, lifting and conveying the immense <labé of gtone on minute railway cars which are landed in a stone shed where they are dressed, returned to the cars and sent to their re§peetive places in the huge wall or building, which when complete will render all chanees of escape impossible. 1 THE € 0 feet long by wide, contain- ) cells four tiers high, ecighty cells ina tier, The cells arc cight feet long and four feet ide, containing a cot, ch stand and a bucket. Some of the eclls are most clegantly fixed up by the friends of the prisoners. Some of them have lace curtains, hang- ing in front of the iron grate, with the wails all hung with pictures and other ornaments, One case for example that of Jerome West, 2 man sent up from Jones county for killing a man by tho name of Yul¢, in Anamosa, for cigltoen years at hard labor. His cell is finely irnished, having lace curtains, the floor carpeted, artificial flowers i on the neatly covered s ings on the walls. One of the women's cells in the upper tier has a clock and is neatly furnished. Infact all the women's cells are very neat and the milk-white sheets on the beds tell the stranger every room that belongs to one of the fairer sex. Every prisoner’s name and number s over his ceil door making it ecasy for those in search of any particular one to readily find it. After the prisoners are in their colls forty cells are locked at a time by means of lever at one end that fits in an arm for the purpose, then a man_goes along and ks each cell door with a key. After done another man goes along and tries each cell door. This being com- pleted the prisoners are obliged o stand up behind their doors and be counted to sce that all are in. If the count is correct they then eat their supper. At 8 o'clock the cell doors are again tried to see that none of them have been filed off or other- wise tampered with. The cell house is lighted by means of a 2 candle Edison incandescent eleetrie light, giving one light to each cell, whife fm-uwfiv one light was given for two cells, but as it now s ~each cell has a four candle rht. Another —cell house will be built north of the present one to be larger and to contain 400 célls, also to be lighted by the electric light. In the south end of the eell room is a show contuining articles made by the prisoners for sile. Among the most noticeable ones is an open f; from one piece of wood with u j which claims the attention of cver, or.
