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 />
a -oo'i puyiug position for the boys,<br />
a matrimonial market for the girls.<br />
No matter if the young people are<br />
bombarded with temptation from<br />

to sunrise,UO matter If they are compelled<br />
to associate with money<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 />
A\ e in.- not obliged lo participate in<br />
the sins of Sodom just because we<br />

EGYPTIAN CIGARETTES.<br />
Made by Greeks of Greek Tobacco and<br />
Due to a Government Monopoly.<br />
A controversy which has been going<br />
on in Europe, and especially In<br />
England, as to the rival merits of<br />
Turkish and Egyptian cigarettes fwtiui<br />
likely to he settled by a retain, or a<br />
disinterested but observant American<br />
Comnl.<br />
Though the United States Is the<br />
great cigarette producing nation of<br />
the world there are Imported into<br />
this country every .year more than<br />
$3,000,000 worth of foreign made<br />
cigarettes, some Turkish and some<br />
Egyptian.<br />
Turkey Is a large tobacco producing<br />
country, yielding 50,000 tons of tobacco<br />
every year, and the Turks. It Is<br />
VM.'H known, are a nation of smokers.<br />
The amount of tobacco raised in Kg} pt<br />
Is considerable, and yet Egyptian<br />
cigarettes are Imported Into this<br />
country In considerable amounts every<br />
year.<br />
The explanatldil*Of the: mailer. as<br />
offered by the American Consul in<br />
Athens is simple. It nei-ins that the<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 />

"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 />

all the false values of life and let the<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 />
War and was among the last to cross<br />
at sunrise at the evacuation of Long<br />
I-hiu*'.<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 />
of those who knew him—aud the<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 />
