THE NORFOLK NKWS : FRIDAY , SBPTBMBKH i5 ! , lilOfl. Holiday of the Schwcnkfcldci Family is On. BUTTER DAY IN PENNSYLVANIA , A Celebration Which Started With a Tnrlfty Family Has Grown to In tcrest Thousands Unique Religious Sect of Pennsylvania In Assembly , Philadelphia , Sept. 24. Special tc The News : Apple butter day was celebrated today by the Schwenk' folders of PonnHj'lvanla In their moot ing houses at HoBonsnsk anil else' where. Among the devout members of the sect the occasion Is known as "lit'daochtnlsz tag , " or memorial day , Us popular name refers to the most , conspicuous feature of the noonday fe. . repast that Is a regular part of the " services. The Pennsylvania Sclnvonk- folders are known far and wlilo as / the makers of the best apple butter 'ii uiu uiiu , aim HUH uar , LI > ivanim of the largo crop of apples In south eastern Pennsylvania , the memorial celebration was a conspicuous suc cess. cess.Hecauso Hecauso of the prominence the Schwonkfoldors have attained through their thrift and Industry , their quaint yearly festival arouses the Interest of thousands of persons outsldo their fold. In many of the rural commun ities the occasion is a holiday , and from the larger towns and cities como lolatlvos and friends to spend the autumn day among the picturesque hills and valleys In the vicinity of the Porklomen. Although primarily a religious fes tival , the Oenaechtnisz tag celebra tion also partakes largely of the na ture of a family reunion , for , as a re sult of the church's rigid watch over the matrimonial affairs of Its adher ents , the membership today is re stricted almost entirely to the de scendants of the Schwonkfeldor fam ilies that crossed the Atlantic and settled In Pennsylvania early in the eighteenth century. While they num ber fewer than 1,500 persons In all , they Include the most prosperous fam- 51i'S to bo found in the rich agricul tural section in which they reside. Their farms , the largest and best In this section of the state , have been bequeathed from generation to gen eration , and each succeeding owner has sought to enhance his heritage l > y keeping in touch with the most modern methods of farming. While sedulously guarding against chang ing the ancient customs of their faith , the Schwenkfelders never op pose real progress , as some of the other Pennsylvania German sects. One of the most successful cooperative ive abrlcultural organizations In the United States is the Worcester farm ers' union in Montgomery county , which was organized and is largely controlled hy the Schwenkfolders. The union has nearly a thousand members within a distance of twenty miles of Worcester. All farm supplies are purchased at wholesale rates hy the union and then distributed among the members. Weekly meetings are held in the un ion's own building and there is an interchange among members of opin- i ions concerning agricultural topics , , while at frequent intervals lectures f\ on scientific farming are delivered by men who are authorities in their lines. Although the smallest of the many \J \ sects that fled to America to escape persecution in Europe , the Schwcnk- felder organiEation is the only one that sets apart annually a day on I which the members meet to give i thanks for their release from the re ligious thralldom of the old world. X- This is the purpose of their Gedaecht- nlsz tag , for on September 21 , 173-1 , the first Schwenkfelders , who had landed at Philadelphia two days before - fore , held a thanksgiving service in recognition of their safe arrival. Ever since their founder , Casper Schwenkfelder Von Osslg , a Slleslan nobleman of the sixteenth century , had disagreed with Luther over the nature of the sacraments and there fore decided to discontinue both bap tism and communion until their pur pose should bo better understood , his followers had been subjected to rid icule , imprisonment and death under Catholic and Protestant rulers. Fi nally they emigrated in a body to America in 1731. After their thanksgiving service on September 2t , 1734 , a meal consisting of bread , butter , apple butter and ci der was served. Annually since that time the Schwenkfelders meet on September 21 to celebrate their Ged- aechtnlsz tag , and between the mornIng - Ing and afternoon services a repast is served similar to that of 1731 , except that the apple butter Is more plenti ful and water is substituted for cider.

Improvements Will be Perma nent and Convenient. ENTERPRISE ORNORTHWESTERN Machine Shops and Engine House are Building at South Norfolk Fall Stock Rush Is Now on Gravel Bed Being Laid. ( Kroin TlMirwIny'M Dully. ) The Improvements to the yards of the Northwestern at South Norfolk uive proceeded far enough that some faint conception of the completed work may be formed , although there yet remains months of work to be done before It can be said that the plan Is llnlshed. It may bo readily believed that one of the most complete , extensive ami convenient yards on the system west of Missouri Valley are in process of formation and all the work Is being done with a view to permanency and to care for a largely Increased busi ness on this division. At present the principal part of the work Is to give the new yards i permanent and level surface. on which the largo tralllc of the road may be handled without the necessity if eoiiHtiint and expensive repairs. This is being done by the hauling In if thousands of cars of excellent gravel from the company's gravel pit it Atkinson , and thousands of cars more of this material will be. needed leforo the surface of the yards are in the condition that is desired by the management. A bedding of about a foot in doptli will thus bo formed that will support the monster locomo tives and the ears of the company with no more effect than is shown in the main roadbed of the line , much of which has already been Imllasthed and forms a smooth and level track that Is pleasing to the eye and val uable in adding to the comfort and safety of the trainmen and patrons of the road. Over tills will be laid many miles of track , the work on which is being crowded forward , and much of it Is already completed with the exception of placing and leveling the ballast. \Vhon completed there will be many long miles of level siding on which to make up trains and place cars , anil there will bo other space on which trackage may bo laid as business re quires it. The other work of the yards is proceeding apace. The brick walls of the now machine shops are al most completed with the window and door frames in place. The foundation for the new sixteen-stall roundhouse is complete and the walls will be raihed as soon as the masons have completed their work on the machine shops. Immense lilies of rock , brick , Iron and timbers are now on hand for this work when wanted , and it Is round house before cold weather sets In. although it may bo impossible to finish all the work planned before some time next year. The now and monster turn-table Is in place and ready for business as soon as It is required. The ditches have been dug and the water mains arc being laid for the now waterworks system that will be supplied from the Elkhorn river near by. Already the new coal chutes are being used , and an astonishing amount of labor ami vexation and time Is saved over the old system which is now abandoned. Carloads of fuel arc on hand , which are hauled by the hoisting machinery to the top of the chutes and dumped in little more time than it takes to tell it , while the engines draw their supplies much as they would water from a watering tank by loweiing n flints ntifl Mtitlltifr n Immi * Stock Rush Is on. This is this season of the year when it would bo agreeable to all concerned If the yards could be used in their entirety. The stock rush Is on , which means that there Is Inihtle and work all the time at the round house and machine shops , at the coal supply station and the watering tanks- Dozens of tralnloads of fattened west ern cattle arc passing through from the west to the markets of the east every day , which means that every available engine Is pressed Into ser vice and the train crews are all get ting in extra mileage and extra pay. The place where they are really the worst crowded , however , is at the roundhouse and engine shops , where the hostlers and the machinists arc kept on the jump constantly to keep the engines clean and In repair and ready with coal and water for the work before them. This stock rush will continue for several weeks , and is In addition to the Increased trafllc In merchandise due at this time ol year. About the time It begins tci slacken the grain business will come on full tilt , so that there will bo plen ty doing among the railroad men and at the yards until after the holidays It is when the company makes monej and when the employes make wapes so that there is no fault to find thai business is on the rush order.
