Fob. 17, '07—(Gen. 13:1-13.)<br />

Abraham and Lot were the cattle<br />

ktagH or ancient history. It is said<br />

r them that they were "very rich"<br />

utfd "had flocks and herds and<br />

tents." Their herdsman and shepherds<br />

were the original cow boys,<br />

and they apparently had the same<br />

troubles that their successors experience.<br />

While Abraham seemed<br />

to be contented with the natural increase<br />

of hlB r-rnapurlty, hlB nephew<br />

Lot hnd been bitten with the getrich-quick<br />

lmraslte, nnd his whole<br />

aim In life seemed to have been how<br />

to beat hfs old uticle lu the rtoek<br />

raising business.<br />

loot's cow 1)03*8 soon caught tli«<br />

Spirit of their employer i>nd began<br />

to crowd Abraham's herdsmen off<br />

the earth. They picked quarrels with<br />

them on the slightest provocation.<br />

They stole their calves and branded<br />

them with Lot's tag. They drove<br />

them off the fat pastures to the<br />

deary harrcns, nud the count of the<br />

herds of A lint Inn i never would coma<br />

rlu'it. And then, one day when the<br />

old trau co:t!d en 1 ire the noise no<br />

longer, he culled lot nnd said In effect,<br />

"We ht:d b?tlr>r dissolve partners'-"<br />

in. It is ovIJoui your Ideas and<br />

infill' no Idriger agree. So you sell tt<br />

the mew thai UIIMM* satisfactory to<br />

yon and take it and I will i.-1u• • what<br />

is left, If you choose the right. I<br />

Will go to the-left; If you take the<br />

valley I will go l»» tin* hills." A magnificent<br />

example of the Golden Hole<br />

In a heart anil an age, where we<br />

should lensl expect It.<br />

Hut Lot was not built on that<br />

pliin. The schemer laughed In his<br />

sleeve at what he tho'ight the unbusinesslike<br />

principles of his uncle.<br />

And with the straiKhtest face he<br />

cftuld manage he said,""! will take<br />

the plain of Jordan," and then he<br />

said to himself. "It's an 111 wind<br />

that blows nobody any good," and he<br />

w**tit out from the Interview feeling<br />

liK«* a stock broker who has jus:<br />

cleaned up a million by a corner In<br />

cattle.<br />

• "And he pitched his tent toward<br />

Sodom." Abraham went back to the<br />

bills to continuo a simple life, and<br />

Lot set his face toward the ciiies of<br />

the Main. Cities of luxury! Cities<br />

Of Abomination! Cities of Crime!<br />

Tii'-.v were such bot-ueds of Iniquity<br />

•audi sinks of depravity, such putrid<br />

can-asses of llceiiiii.n-ii.---s, that<br />

their names si a ml lu history the'<br />

s> miiii) ins for the very limit of evlldoiug.<br />

Yet for the sake of the Almighty<br />

Dollar Lot deliberately pitched his<br />

tent towward Kodom. What difference<br />

did it make to him that he had<br />

a wife and children to look out<br />

for? Did lie Mop to consider that<br />

Sodom meant Sodomlc business, Sodomic<br />

society* Sodomlc pleasure?<br />

Did he Investigate as to,the church<br />

privileges, school privileges, neighborhood,<br />

privileges? Not a bit of it.<br />

He aaw in Sodom coiner Iota, great<br />

markets for beef and mutton, intere.-i<br />

on money to let, chances to increase<br />

his fort am*, an opportunity<br />

to become a political bo»s. And he<br />

pitched his lent toward Sodom.<br />

And thut is Just what the men of<br />

the world are doing every day. la selecting<br />

a house ihe question is not,<br />

What sort of a reputation has the<br />

place? Hut, Can I make u dollar<br />

there? It la not a question of<br />

Churches and schools, nud libraries<br />

and art galleries, aud intellectual<br />

and moral advantages or all sorts. It<br />

is a question of money ai 6 per cent,<br />

the old fogy Abraham, out on the<br />

hillside farm, 1'urle baa such queer,<br />

o)-i tush inn.-ii Ideas, you know!<br />

Mark you. Lot did not jump right<br />

into Sodom, all at one-. He only<br />

pitched bis tent toward it at first.<br />

Perhaps if Abraham hud mid him he<br />

would lu time become a Sodoinic alderman,<br />

he would have flushed will<br />

indignation. Bui be got there just<br />

the same. So, now. there are plenty<br />

of men and women in Sodom who<br />

never meant lo go there. They turned<br />

very gradually aside. They stood<br />

a long time looking at its distant alliiieineiiis<br />

before they pitched th.'ir<br />

tents lu that direction. They said.<br />

flreek tobacco crop last year was the<br />

largest Greece ever harvested—about<br />

300,000,000 pounds. A brand of Greek<br />

tobacco Is used for Egyptian cigar*<br />

CttCH.<br />

Why, It Is asked. Egyptian? The<br />

answer Is that Egyptian cigarettns are<br />

made by Oreeks. because t-iaarette<br />

paper is too exnensive in Greece,<br />

where It is a Government mouopoly.<br />

Thus the business has gone over to<br />

Egypt. The most famous cigarette<br />

makers of Efeypt are Greens. •<br />

A very large ..business In cigarette<br />

making has been established in Alexandria,<br />

and it Is in the bonds of<br />

Oreeks. who Import their tobacco<br />

from their own country and In turn<br />

ship it to foreign countries, England<br />

and the United Httfles being the chief<br />

market for Egyptian cigarettes, which<br />

are, in fact. Greek cigarettes, those<br />

bearing the title Tnrlili being iihV<br />

"Mocha and Java" Coffee.<br />

1 Tlie> United States imports about<br />

Ii000,000.000 pound* of coffee yearly.<br />

Some eight-tenths of tbe supply<br />

conies from Jlraail.. about one-tenth<br />

from other South- American countries<br />

and one-renth >om< eJentral America<br />

and Mexico.<br />

The Importations* of Mbcaai coffee,<br />

which take* its name rroiu the town<br />

Mocha, at the southern extremity of<br />

Arabia, are* only ulioat l^OO.DOO',<br />

pounds annually, a«d> or Java coftea'<br />

only about 10,000,000 pounds.<br />

These quantities are so small as t»<br />

constitute only an infinitesimal proportion<br />

of the vast eonsumptleu of<br />

coffee in the United States. The average<br />

import value-of South America*<br />

coffee is about eight cents per pound,,<br />

compared with J4J. and 1C cents lor<br />

coffee from Arabiai and: the-Kast Lu~<br />

dies.<br />

Turkish and Egyptian traders i?o to<br />

Arabia before the' harvest and bay<br />

the Mocha crop ou> the tree. They<br />

make sure that it is noi picked Insfore<br />

it Is perfectly ripe, »nd they attend<br />

to Its preparation,themselves.<br />

Such choice Mocha-, is marketed<br />

largely through Cairo, or Alexandria^<br />

and "the coffee that reaches Mocha<br />

and is exported from- Aoen is only<br />

what these merchants UuiughL toopoor<br />

to buy."<br />

In view of the fact that tbe best<br />

Mocha never reaches this market at<br />

all, aud the notorious fact that for<br />

years only an infinitesimal proportion,,of<br />

United States imports have<br />

been from Arabia and Java, the official<br />

statement sent out by Use United<br />

Stales Government is doubtless true<br />

in declaring that "the terms Java and<br />

Mocha have now become mere characteristics<br />

oi quality aud blend." But<br />

It would be difficult to ftame any description<br />

of the characteristics of<br />

quaniy und bleud which tuese terms<br />

j are supposed to represent.<br />

As matter of tact, therefore, the<br />

words Java and Mocha uu. a brand of<br />

coffee may usually be accepted as<br />

equivalent to the words "fln«8t" or<br />

•fcesi." or similar adjectives. Only on<br />

coffee which is positively known to<br />

be the pure product from Japanese<br />

plsniatious or from Amman plantations<br />

«io these terms have auy significance.<br />

There are only a few disinterested<br />

coffee lovers who prefer . ue<br />

of ihe standard brands of Bra.-, .an<br />

coffees (which constitute the g eat<br />

bulk consumgd in this country) to<br />

genuine Java or Mocha, A. hi. Gans.<br />

who has given much attention to this<br />

subject, ma in i a his that most of the<br />

coffee consumed in the United Stales<br />

is taken by the consumeb in tbe belief<br />

that it is genuine Mocha or Java.<br />

If his si at in. ui la true, declare Good '<br />

Housekeeping, such fraud and graft<br />

is of the largest dimension*.<br />

ALEXANDER F. LOBDELL.<br />

rho<br />

His Ancestry and Story of His Life. Funeral Address<br />

by Rev. A. R. Macoubery.<br />

In Brewster, at his residence, Sun­<br />

day morning at 2 o'clock, Aleiander<br />

F. Lobdell departed'this life in the<br />

79d year or his life.<br />

On the Sunday preceding he WHS<br />

In usual health, not In the fall<br />

strength of the vigorous manhood he<br />

enjoyed until near three score and<br />

ten, but very comfortable and actual­<br />

ly ministering to his wife and daugh­<br />

ter just recovering from illness. On<br />

the last day of January he was pres­<br />

ent at the regular monthly meeting<br />

of the trustees of the Putnam County<br />

Savings Bank and on February 3d be<br />

was at the bank and store throughout<br />

the day and evening.<br />

The cause of his death was pneu­<br />

monia and the duration of the disease<br />

was less than a week, beginning, ou<br />

the night of February8d with pleurisy<br />

in the right lung. The attack was<br />

attended with very severe pain and<br />

at one o'clock on the morning of the<br />

4th Dr. L. G. <strong>New</strong>man was called and<br />

gave the patient temporary relief.<br />

Meantime a trained nurse was sum­<br />

moned from <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> and on the<br />

afternoon of the 4th the disease<br />

seemed to be under control. Return­<br />

ing pains and greater weakness on<br />

the day following required such con­<br />

stant treatment that a second nurse<br />

WHS engaged. Thereafter the condi­<br />

tion was variable, the patient some­<br />

times speaking naturally aud in­<br />

spiring hope for a few hour* and<br />

then suddenly becoming incoherent<br />

in speech und requiring heart stimu­<br />

lants and oxygen to keep up respiru-<br />

petitors in the general merchandise<br />

trade, for several years. The year<br />

following 1874 witnessed the beginning<br />

of the construction of the Drewville<br />

reservoir, a large force of men em­<br />

ployed. Thereafter trade was good in<br />

all stores with Lobdell & Co. leading.<br />

Mr. Lobdell was for a time engaged<br />

in the lumber trade with Jarvis I.<br />

Howes, the Arm name v being J.TJI.<br />

Howes & Co. Fire and <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong><br />

city swept away what was known as<br />

the "Long Branch" store house and<br />

lumber yard and mill property.<br />

The sad and untimely death of Mr.<br />

Storm, in 18S7. and the with­<br />

drawal of Mr. Hoyt about the same<br />

time had restored the general mer­<br />

chandise business to Mr.; Lobdell.<br />

He had passed through the most try­<br />

ing experience of his life and it was<br />

only the supreme confidence of the<br />

people and his dear grit^that saved<br />

his business and permitted the<br />

continuance and made strong again<br />

(he Putnam County Savings Bank,<br />

in which he succeeded Mr. Hoyt, as<br />

treasurer.<br />

The story of the business side of<br />

his life for the past twenty years<br />

needs no detail here. For sixteen<br />

years of that period, his eldest sou,<br />

who bears his name, has been -a<br />

strong factor aud for the past eight<br />

years exclusively ill charge of the<br />

stock, not only the buying but the<br />

daily sales aud delivery. He was taken<br />

into partnership three years||ago.<br />

Those years witnessed the -.business<br />

ut its highest point and the founder of<br />

E. W. Addis, Alexander Frailer,<br />

married Jennie M. Lewis,<br />

Paddock and Susie.<br />

His last illness was with'every mem­<br />

ber of his family present—watchful,<br />

anxious. He recognized all but<br />

uttered no word of the future. For<br />

months he had shown impaired<br />

vision and loss of strength, the effects<br />

of an illness of nearly two years ago.<br />

Although active in his duties at the<br />

savings bank and store and directing<br />

repairs on all his village properties<br />

he devoted fewer hours to work. He<br />

expeoted that illness might force his<br />

absence from the bank and he advised<br />

fierce dessert wind. True spirit. Job yields to<br />

Vincent Mn ,rrtrt ~ truc splHt, for he sins against God<br />

who wotild lauRtt hi* sorrow away, who seeks to<br />

live as though the grief had not come to him<br />

striving instantly and urgently for the mood or<br />

stole fonretfulness.<br />

"Then," salth the Holy word. "Job arose and<br />

rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell<br />

down upon tlte ground and worshipped and said,<br />

"Naked came I nut of my mother's womb, and<br />

naked shall I return thither." This was as to<br />

the loss of his wealth, penniless we enter life,<br />

penniless we leave it. The only gain with which<br />

wo leave lire Is that which has been made In the<br />

soul. The only wealth which "moth and rust',<br />

cannot corrupt, the only wealth that has the<br />

stamp of eternity upon It, Is the grace of the<br />

spirit.<br />

"Naked came I out or my mother's womb, and<br />

naked shall I return thither." And he adds*<br />

e<br />

our Lord at/one time, and another at another In business matters, tn social functions. In bis<br />

time. He is the same i/ini still, "yesterday, j relation to the ohurch of God. Going in and]<br />

to-day, forever." All the power not merely out In this community for almost fifty years,<br />

but all the wisdom, and all the lore associated walking openly before men, no suspicion of any<br />

with Him as ne gave them to us, Is associated sinister transaction coutd for a moment bn<br />

tiou. it was not until the evening oUt manifested supreme enjoyment in<br />

the 9th that hope faded, theii labored<br />

breathing began, accompanied by<br />

coma and death.<br />

The earliest and nearest mention of<br />

the Lobdell family thus far found is<br />

in records at Mil ford, Coun., where<br />

it appears that in 1040 to one Simon<br />

Lobdell was presented by the town<br />

'for a house-lot a triangular shaped<br />

half aereof land.' 1 and later another<br />

Simon gave to his^only son, Joshua,<br />

deeds of lands iu that sect ion. Joshua<br />

].obdell, in 1005, married Mary Burwell<br />

who was born iu 1007. The second<br />

J oshua migrated to Cortland's Manor.<br />

Westchester county, across the line<br />

from Ridgefield. Ebeneser, third sou<br />

of Joshua, had six childreu of whom<br />

the eldest was >Jacob, who married<br />

Betty Whitney, Dec. 11, 1788. "He<br />

was a soldier in the Revolutionary<br />

The eldest of Jacob's children was<br />

Anson, father of the subject of this<br />

sketch, born in North Salem Deo. 10,<br />

1784. Hi* first wife was Eliza Purdv,<br />

who died in June, 1830. itgtheOTth<br />

year of her age, having borne seven<br />

children. The following year lie<br />

married Sarah Towuseud. This<br />

iiuiou was also blessed with seven<br />

ehildreu, two of whom, Julia Eliza,<br />

wife of Elijah Lee, of <strong>York</strong>towu, and<br />

Aliuira Jeanetta, wife ofj Frank H.<br />

Greene, of <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong>,survive. Those<br />

deceased include Betsy Maria, who<br />

married Everett Lent,<br />

aud died in October,<br />

the expansiou, not so important the<br />

gain, because he had experienced<br />

more profitable years, but he was<br />

proue to believe that extending cheer­<br />

ful greetiug to strangers had much to<br />

do in winning new trade. Notwith­<br />

standing his activity and solicitation<br />

he uever wanted anything at the<br />

expense of another, or to gratify<br />

avarice, or to wield power. He was<br />

given rather to rejoice in the success<br />

of others, believing that in a zone of<br />

general progress aud plenty^some<br />

grist would come to his mill.<br />

But he was not all busiuess. There<br />

was a strong religious current in his<br />

career. He never violated the coven­<br />

ant entered into with his Maker,<br />

when a boy in North Salem, under<br />

the ministry of Dr. Irving. Later he<br />

united with the First Presbyterian<br />

church, at Southeast; Center and was<br />

naturally one of the leaders in the<br />

movement to re-establish the church<br />

here. Reference to his connection<br />

with the enterprise has already been<br />

made by Mr. Maooubrey iu the funeral<br />

address.<br />

To sum it all up he was not only a<br />

helper in every righteous cause of<br />

public cousern, but he gave when<br />

only those who received knew of the<br />

giving. Of dignified bearing, perfect<br />

as a figure, likewise in character,<br />

iu deuling and in the disoharge of<br />

every duty, always the Christian<br />

gentleman, are the true expressions<br />

RAID THE HKASURT.<br />

Democratic Officeholders Adopting<br />

Boss Murphy's Tactics In<br />

Reaching For More Cash.<br />

Hauser Thinks $5,000 Is Small<br />

Pickings For a State<br />

Treasurer.<br />

Albany, Feb. 12.—During the month<br />

Mini a half that the department!* of the<br />

state government, outside nf tin- chief<br />

.executive, have been occupied by Democrats<br />

they hove given UII example<br />

of the Insincerity of the party plotforuia<br />

and the public utterances of<br />

leaders on the ipiexllon of economy in<br />

ptatc government. In ihis abort time<br />

they have not only done uothiug to<br />

make good the oft repeated promises<br />

to cut down ' expenses and enforce<br />

economy lu government, but they have<br />

•tarted a raid ou the state treasury.<br />

They hove entered upon a systematic<br />

CiMime, which. If followed, would ro-<br />

»ult in a milch larger expenditure than<br />

has been the rule under Itepuhlicau administrations.<br />

If a Republican legislature<br />

did not stand between them and<br />

the i-aHII. the taxpayers would aoon<br />

find themselves called UIHIII to again<br />

contribute directly to the maintenance<br />

nt t lie slate government.<br />

Their Demagogic Cry.<br />

For some years the chief pry of the<br />

Democrats who haVe been candidates<br />

for elective offleea bus hceif, "Cut down<br />

tiie appropriations; the state's moneys<br />

are I wing extravagantly expended,"<br />

and the party lias appealed to the people<br />

ou this issue in every campaign<br />

since 18P4. Thoughtful citizens who<br />

knew I lie tremendous growth of the<br />

Mate business, who remembered that<br />

the state has assumed within ten years<br />

new obligations In the way of caring<br />

for' the insane, in the construction of<br />

new roads. In the abolition ,,f grade<br />

crossings and in the appropriations for<br />

•the public schools, -.'iivc little heed to<br />

this campaign cry. The present Democratic<br />

state olliccrs are demonstrating<br />

that the people were wise when they<br />

refused to take stock in tills demagogic<br />

appeal. ^<br />

Hauaer'a "imall Pickings,"<br />

In submitting their estimates and<br />

the expenses needed for the maintenance<br />

of their oil ices the Democratic<br />

officials have shown just how little<br />

they knew what they were talking<br />

a lMint and how little they really cared<br />

to save the people's money. For example,<br />

the state treasurer, .Julius Hauser,<br />

who before he was elected by the combination<br />

of llcarstites and Democrats<br />

regard of party pledges for economy<br />

and care In the expenditures for the<br />

nmlntor.mce of his department. Instead<br />

of cutting down the expenses or<br />

his department, he has at one jump<br />

nskod for a large Increase in his force.<br />

Which would «i»st tlie state tunny thousands<br />

of dollars. The situation Is<br />

umiouhiedly very trying for a state<br />

ofllcer belonging to a party which<br />

comes Into power for the first time<br />

In many years under such leaders<br />

as Murphy. Connors, MeCttlrc and<br />

McCain*, who have a raft of constituents<br />

for whom to secure places.<br />

Mr. Whnlen is doing the best he can<br />

to meet the wishes of these new stale<br />

lenders. lie has naked, for Instance,<br />

that he he allowed to employ what ore<br />

known as "the fifth grade employees"<br />

in his nlllce, twelve men instead or<br />

five. These men are paid $1100 each<br />

per year, and the total Increase for<br />

this extra employment would be $0,800.<br />

Mr. Whnlen lu his request to the legislature<br />

for this increase did not specifically<br />

state why It was necessary to<br />

take this amount of money from the<br />

treasury to conduct his department.<br />

He did not stop with this simple demand,<br />

but he. too, wants an additional<br />

allowance to sjMMid for what he calls<br />

•'office expenses." Among these he<br />

enumerates "furniture, hooks and oilier<br />

office ex|M«nses." and he thinks he<br />

would like to use $1.0tKi lu this manner.<br />

These requests for new expenditures<br />

will be very carefully examined by the<br />

Itepublicau legislature before the cash<br />

Is placed in the hands of these friends<br />

of Murphy. Connors, McCuire, McCube<br />

and Casslily.<br />
