THE PLEASANT HOME LIFE OF THE SENIOR TRUSTEE DESCRIBED. Rfra. Dut In a Bcinnrkablo Woman, or Very Attractive lnnllflcntlnn, Mara "Mm" Ada aa Her llim band'a Private Secretary, aad Al o Iiooka Alter Ilia Aged fvcono mite folk A 'flirilal at Du) lleillor. It will be remembered, by the old er CniKV subscribers, that John Dnss, now the chief of the Economists, lived in Line township,an dwas well know n here in tho 80 as a farmer. Ho disliked that business hewevor, and a t various limos told Tan Chief that he was going baok to his old horn and make his fortune, and he has done so from all appearances The beautiful home-like of John Duss and his family, as lived at tbe so-called "Great House," of Economy, would be a revelation to man; poople in Pittsburg and vicinity, if the time just now being given to reading ac counts of tho various unwholesome lawsuits ponding wore given to an in vestigation. If Economy were locat ed some thousands ef miles away, in some almont inacecBsiblo place, we would have gotten there and learned, eaoh one for himself, all about these "queer people" who were married, yet not married; who had already stolen millions from the Harmony society, and were only hanging around until they could see a good chance to get away with tho few remaining millions, We would have gotten in upon the ground floor of this community, whore old people who had livod out their usefulness wore starved and maltreat ed, and whero the immoralities of young people were blinked at; whero every man, woman and cbild ceuld get all the strong drink thoy wanted, and this sold without a licenso t All these (juccr things we would have seen with oui own eyes, or broken eur necks trying, had Economy been lo cated in the neighborhood of the North Polo iuctead of Pennsylvania. It is said we must sco peoplu in their own house to really know them. It has been my priviledge to bo a guoit at the Great Houso, for days and nights, and when well and whon ill, and bo I think I know President Dubs and his fanuly. Granted tbey keep their company mannora on for me; that they put only their best foot forward, it was put forward so well, and kopt forward so continuously that it amounted to one more talent, whioh should reecivc "honorable mention" along with tho already long list of accomplishment natural and acquired that are peculiar to hia family. John 3. Duss, senior trustee of tho Harmony society, mayor of Eoenomy, president of tho town council, band master, organist for the church, com posor, preacher, financier, farmer, eto. etc., is a man too well known in West ern Pennsylvania to need ruoro than a mention hero. But John Dibs, has bnd, father friend and neighbor, is a man little Known outside of Eoonomy, and hence mueh misunderstood, slnoo judged by that little knowledge, whioh ia commonly a dangerous thing. It is tha privilege af the writer to visit a good many families in the course af a year, and ia all troth I am forced to say I was never in ono where greater refinement provailed, or where culture had reached higher tide. Never have I seen man and wife who wera such good friends as are John Duss and his wife. There socms to no a per fect understands between them up on nil subjects and n just appreciation ol Chch other's lore mid of tnlonts. HiY'S Their tastes arc in common, their ideas in accord, Mr. Duss is of that goncral variety of man who is willing his wife should know as much as ho docs; who bclioves in her mentality, who values her council and credits ns much to her judgment as to her intui tion, He lives by tho idea that a joy !b twice a joy, and a sorrow only half a sorrow when shared with tho objcot of his affection, and so everything from tho gravest business complication to the choicest bit of good news is shared with hia trusting and trusted wife. If Mrs. Dubs wcro being written up for the "Ladies' Homo Journal," she would como under the caption of "un known wives of woll-knov;n mort" for, although her husband's private secre tary, and in theso days whon lawsuits grow upon every bush, tho business end of tho entire Harmony communi ty haB fallen upon her plump should ers, yet sho is unknown to the world outsido of a few personal friends, and tho old folks of tho Harmony sooicty who arc her wards. For theso last sho provides everything, even their roerealion. In turn they are taken for a drivo behind tho milk-whito Welsh ponies, Mrs. Duss' pet team. Somo of tho spn'ast of those girls, of from 75 to 85 years old, were takon to the last circus, both Mr. and Mrs, Duss accompanying thorn. It is told that they fairly clapped their wither ed old hands in delight. Everything pleased tbcm, but ahooking to tell, tho barebacked riding pleased best of all. Even the "tights" brought out no gooso flesh and caused no ono to faint, by which ono can only ooncludo that Anthony Comstook had never visited Economy, and theso old ladies had never heard of tho immorality that lurks in suggestive clothing or tho lack of clothing. Honi aoit qui mal y penso (evil to him who evil thinks.) The majority of women find the caro of their own immediat? family quite enough, but Mrs. Duss cares for tho sixteen families of tho commune, thoir creature comforts, their spiritual welfare in a moasure, and, as has been aaid, their recreation. A pretty wo man is Mrs. Duss, rid checked, clear oomplezioncd, plump tiguro, tiny hands and feet, and Bpoaking eyes that can flash every emotion exper ienced by woman. No knight of tho camera over has or ovor can do her justice for tho reason her complexion cannot bo photographed, and hor face in repose is not particularly attrac tive. In conversation sho has a laughing face, a young faoo, a faoo that scorns to have been croatcd for a halo of curls; but instead of making tho most of this God-given attraction sho religiously smothers down hor glossy black hair with a Quakor-liko simplicity which makes her look much oldor and moro sad than sho is. But queon of tho village sho certainly is, and tho idol of her subjootB, a good wife, a good mother, a good friend, what moro could be said of any wom an. Musical instruments are as thick as ohairs at the "Great House" aid each mombcr of tha family plays one or moro of theso instruments, John Dues, musical eamposer, is probftfely an well know an is Jahn Bugs, senior trustee of the Harmony society, and had he cbasen to make uiusio a pre fcssion instead of a recreation it ia eonoeded that ho might have ranked with tho best composers, While ho is not his children's instructor, yet ho keeps a watchful eye over their musi cal education, and thoir aptitude is remarkable. Mrs. Duss and Vera, thoir 12-ycnr-old daughter, each play in thut one of the vilUge bands com Red Cloud, Webster County, posed entirely of women; and this band played from tho tower of tho historic old ohurch at sun-up last Easter morning. John Duss, Jr., or "Hans," as ho is called in tho family, is a member of tho Economy band, instructed by his father. Both child' ron play tho piano and both read books that would bo too heavy for or dinary young pcoplo in their teens, and aro encouraged to enter discus sions upon tho rclativo morit of books and music, with their parents. Evory pet or plaything that coulu contribute to a happy child-lifo has boen fur nished, as well as everything that contributes to culture and education. I don't know of a weekly or monthly publication that docs not go into their house. Nor of a daily looal paper. All clippings, both for and against John Duss and tho Harmony sooioty, are carefully scissored and pasted in a strap book, and no ono enjoys a smart rap at themselves or tho sooioty moro than Mr. and Mrs. Duss. though thoy aro pained by tho unpleasant adver tising they get by lovers of the sen sational quite as much as tho rest ot ua would be.
