A WOMAN BANKER, .,
Over IOO Years Old and Worth. Two Mil
,'" lion Dollars. '
; Mrs. Deborah Powers, head of the
banking firm of D. Powers & Sbn
and of the great oil-cloth manufac
toiing firm of the same name, died at
, 'her home in Lansingburg, N. Y., last
week. She had been ill for some
time, being nearly one hundred years
old! She-retained -her mental facul
ties unimpaired almost "to the very
'last. ; Mrs. Powers had been a resi
dent of the village" for seventy-five1
years, was always active in its wel
fare, made it generous donations and
also gave away many thousands of
dollars in unostentatious charity.
She is survived by two sonsw-Albert
E. and Nathaniel H. Powers! born in
181G.: and 1823, respectively. Her
estate is valued at over $2,000,000.
-Mrs, Powers was born in Hebron,'
Grafton county, N. H., on August 5,
1790. She was the seventh child of
: Nathaniel and Sarah- Nevins Bull.
Her,, educational advantages were
very limited, but she had sound,
common sense, quick perception and
excellent judgment. She learned the
tailor's trade in Bristol, . N. H.,
and for eight years prior to her
marriage earned a livelihood by
.tailoring and spinning. On Feb
: . ruary 22, 1816, she married William
Powers, whom she had 'known from.
,childoood, and who was at that time
a school teacher at Lansinburg. She
came to Lansinburg with her hus-
band a few months after, the wed-
r ding and thereafter made it her home.
: . Soon after their arrival in Lansin
fmrg Mr. Powers had his attention
attracted by a piece of floor cloth in
-' the bottom of a carriage, and having
'gome knowledge of the manufacture
lot table oilcloths, determined to atv
J tempt the manufacture of the ar
? tide. His experiments were attend
ed' with so much success that he soon
abandoned school .teaching. Mrs.
' Powers was her husband's only as
sistant for some time, but the busi-
ness' increased so rapidly that more
room and additional help were nec
essary. In 1829 the ; building of a
large factory was begun.
In June of that year Mr, Powers'
was burned to death while making
varnish, and Mrs. Powers was badly
injured while trying to save him;
Left with two small children and an
unfinished factory on which a : large
sum : was due, Mrs. Powers did. not
despair. She bent all her energies
to the continuance of the business,
and such was the success that atr
,- tended her efforts that in 1842, when
her elder son was admitted to part
'nership, she had a' fine business, a'
large factory free from debt, and a
largesum of money." ;
Mrs: Powers spent hours every
day: i in the .office and factory until
aout twenty years ago, when she
surrendered the personal control, ot
the business to her son. The fail
ure of the only bank of the village
r in 1877 made a banking institution
a necessity, and Mrs. Powers organ
ized the private bank of D. Powers
.& Sons, and its patronage was soon
large and lucrative, everybody hav
ing' confidence in Mrs. Powerss abil-,
ltyi I It is now one of the most pop
ular banks in that part of the State.'

SERVANTS CENTURIES AGO.
How They acted and Were Treated
- Shakespeare's Time.
in
Chambers' Journal.
"In the time of Shakespeare domes
tic service was in a state of transi
tion; the old system was decaying,
the new one springing into life; and
if one may be allowed to judge from
casual references scattered through
out the plays ot. the poet the new
orders does not appear to have been
altogether satisfactory. In "King
Lear" to take one ex,ampIe-Otent
denounces Oswald, the steward, as a
"knave, a rascal and eater of broken
meats; a base, proud, shallow, ' beg
garly, three-suited, 100-pound, worst
ed stocking knave."
. From Shakespeare's plays it fur-
ther appears that the servants of the
period were companions and con
fidants of their master, and that they
.were generally sly and pilfering and
players of practical jokes. In great
families it was customary for ser
vantsjo take an oath of fidelity on
their entrance into office. Posthu
mus alludes to the usage when he
says of Imogen's servants: ;
Her attendants are
All sworn an honorable.
The condition of servants at this
period was-therefore -peculiar, and it
is clear; that they were ruled by a
cunpusj mixture of stern disclipine
amigreat laxity. One mode of en
forcing Obedience was by imposing
forfeits or fines, some of which are
enumerated by Sir J. Harrington in
his Nugae Antique." For being ab
sent" from prayers, for uttering an
bath, for leaving the door open, "fos
any - follower visiting the cook," a
finelwas inflicted, while in another
set of rules Jit is provided that
If any one this rule doth break,
And cut more bread than he can eat,
- Shall to the box one penny pay.
In case an offender should refuse
to pay "direct with, resistance," pro

' Each one here shall be assistance,

ENGRAVED BY DYNAMITE.
An Accidental Discovery that Promises to
Eevolutionize the Engraver's Art.
New York Dispatch. .
Among the many 'uses to which
gunpowder and other high explosives
have been applied recently is that of
engraving. By means of the force
generated by the detonation of these
articles, the lines of delicate leaves,
grass and insects have been impress
ed on the surface of the hardest iron
procurable, in the space of half a
second. By old processes hours
were consumed where machinery was
used. Many recent experiments have
been made, mostly by officers of the
army and navy, which have demon
strated the efficiency of the new
methods. '
At Newport, a few weeks ago, a
heavy charge of dynamite was ex
ploded by several officers who
were detailed by the Govern
ment to test a new method of elec
tricity, in fuses. Somehow a small
dried leaf, without the knowledge of
the. officers, had slipped m between
the dynamite cartridge and the iron
block from which the charge had
been fired. When the experiment
ha'd been completed, the officers
were surprised to find the perfect
impression of a leaf in the iron. The
most delicate lines were reproduced
with startling distinctness. A series
of experiments, which were attended
with, remarkable success, followed.
One- of the 'officers who made the
first experiments is now in the city,
and he gave an account of his dis
coveries at an uptown hotel the
other night. .. ,
"I was- rather surprised to find that
it was possible to reproduce the out
lines of perishable articles upon the
surface ot iron by means of explo
sives, said he, "and was at first
skeptical, although I had often
heard that a candle could be fired
through an oak plank."
"When we found the imprint of
the leaf, we made several similar
tests. They took place at the tor
pedo station in Newport. We placed
several leaves and flowers between
two plates of the boiler iron and
then fired a moderate charge of dyn
amite on the upper plate. ' The ex
m;l uuumes, wun even tne veins in
the petals of the flowers, were re
produed in the hard metal. Other
and more extended experiments
were attended with similar results,
Another singular fact is that when
i...t.i i '.. . ...
lvui-ucu uiiuer water, me imprint is
much finer than these produced in
the open air. Frequently when a
wad of gun cotton is exploded be
neath the surface of the water, the
explosive will sink into the iron
toundation so deep that sunken
words and figures will be reproduced
in raised characters on the iron.
several manufacturers have fol
lowed the example set by the officers,
and some day, probably, dynamite
will be put in practical use as an erir
graver.

JAPAN.
The JBeligious and Political Changes!
in
. .this Interesting! Country.' :
: The address before the Edgar
Wood Society by the Rev. Mr.
Ibuka," at the First Presbyterian
Chucch Monday evening, , was the
most profound and thrilling discus
sion of foreign missions ever, deliv
ered in Wilmington. Mr. Ibuka is a
thorough scholar, possessing an ana
lytical mind, with a peculiarly keen
insight into constitutional govern
ment. The lecture throughout
showed extensive historical research
and a comprehensive view of politi
cal economy. We give below a full
synopsis of the address:
Mr, President and Gentlemen of the
- Edgar Wood Society:
It is to me a great pleasure and
privilege to speak before your hon
ored body of the religious and polit
ical changes in Japan. It has been
thirty years since the first . mis
sionary landed on our coast at
Kanagawa. Before that date Japan
was practically unknown, though her
history dates back over 2,000 years.
With the overthrow of a feudal sys
tem of the most rigid type, a consti
tutional monarchy is thejresult. We
now have a House of Parliament,
composed 61 a House of Peers and
a House of Representatives. Thirty
years ago we had no telegraphs or
railroads; now we boast of these'
Western improvements, and besides
have a cable between Kanagawa and
Kiusiu to New York and. London.
The palace at Tokio is lighted en
tirely by electricity, and to-day there
are thirty daily papers circulated in
the ca'pital.
But a more remarkable change
marks the country in the attitude
of , the people and Government
towards the Christian religion.
After 300 years of unbroken peace
Commodore Perry with a ..fleet of
American vessels landed at Yeddo,
not to make war but to form a treaty
of friendship. Japan with no guns
or moral power was unprepared to
meet the emergency, so Perry with
the consummate skill of a diplomatist
sailed away, but leaving a letter
from the President and one from
himself stating that he would return
the next year with more ; vessels.
On his return the Tycoon reluctantly
opened two ports. Heretofore the
Dutch had access to one. port. Tn
1856 Townsehd Harris, the first Am
erican General Consul, completed the
new treaty and opened several new
ports. Kanagawa was opened in
1859. it is now eclipsed by Yoko
hama, which was formerly a small
fishing port. The population to-day
is 100.000. . The same year Dr. Hep
burn was sent out as a missionary.
Shortly afterwards he was followed
by two missionaries from the Dutch
Reform Church, and in the following
year the small company was joined
by three others, and these six are
known as the pioneer missionaries of
Japan. They were not the first ones.
Three hundred years previous, while
the Reformation was going on in
Germany, the Romish Church had
sent out her missionaries, which
for a time flourished, but in
1615 all the priests were
exiled from the island. Though
Protestant missionaries came with
high expectations at this crisis the
country was in a most unfavorable
condition for their reception. The
ports were opened to commercial in
tercourse, but tightly closed as a
solid rock against Christianity. The
Mikado had been true sovereign for
over 300 years, yet the Tycoon was
the most powerful faction headed by
manyof the strongest clans. Ty.
coon thought it expedient to get
Mikado's consent to sign the trea
ties, but as his sacred . personage
was regarded as a descendant nf
Heaven, always hidden awav in
the royal palace, his counsel
was often as secret. Manv
claus iealous of the Tycoon joined
the Mikado and in plain Eng
lish the Tycoon was in a bad fix! So
the Tycoon's Prime Minister ratified
the treaties of the Mikado and was ac
cordingly a eusurper. Civil war was
the result, the Tycoon was overthrown
the Prime Minister was murdered, a
fearful slaughter of foreie-ners fal
lowed. In different parts of the
country every city had a bulletin
bearing the inscription, "That evil
sect called Christians is prohibited
and every Japanese Christian is a
traitor. The census was taken
five years the head of each family
signing a document saying how many
of his household were Christians.
Members of the familes too ill to
appear in public were obliged to
plant their feet upon the crucifix,
and if any one still held to his hfiltpf
he was either beheaded

nese never gave language lessons
without a dagger concealed in his
breast. One prominent teacher wac
compelled to translate the Bible with
his class and was thus led tn
truth of Christianity. That man is
now an ordained minister.
Much work was done for the Moo

hearing of the bitter rivalries in
America they were "particularly de
sirous of a universal Church, thus
presenting a solid front to heathen

Japan for divisions. The result of
union in nineteen years shows five
Presbyterian churches, with a mem
bership of 10,500.

a waste of time and money. As far
as wor in Japan is concerned, no
right minded man can raise a ques
tion. The country boajts of many
self supporting churches; with a peo
ple alive to the progress of the West.
But what is the outlook in the future?
The attitude of the Government tor
wards Christianity has been revolu
tionized. This once branded "wick
ed religion" is put on a level with
Buddhism and Shintoism. See how
Christianity is going to win the race!
Until recently the Priests occupied
all the high pffices in State, now free
dom of conscience and liberty of
worship is granted to all. It took
the christian religion 300 years to
gain a foothold in Rome and then,
not 'until Constantine himself was
converted. In Japan wonders have
v. c i ...
uccu penurmea in a quarter ot a
century a perfect revelation is be
fore the eyes of all thinking people.
The introduction of the relig
ion of Jesus has done more
for the elevation of this country
that Buddhism has accomplished- in
over twenty centuries. The attitude
of the leaders has changed remarka
bly. The Prime Minister a few years
ago took a tour through Europe in
order to gather a new impetus for
his own country, and the Minister of
Foreign Affairs was Minister to Ber
lin and is now a Christian.
Ndw what about the national feel
ing the sentiments of ,the moving
masses? Japan is an old country,
with a history dating far back. While
I feel keenly the wants of my
heathen brethren, let me throw over
them the mantle of charity. They
are hot to blame. Christianity
came knocking at her door
and did she refuse admittance?
No, she reluctantly opened and
how quickly she grasped the al
leviation offered. The new Parlia
ment met last year and every Chris
tian in the Empire prayed that two
or three followers of Jesus should be
in the session. God abundantly an
swered the prayer of His people.
Thirteen out of three hundred mem
bers of Parliament worship the true
God. One of them is Speaker of
House and another is Chairman of
the House of Peers, and it may be
gratifying ;to my own ' Church
to jknow j that they are both
presiding' elders. One of the lead
ing , political men of ' the day
was urged to accept a po
siuon m Parliament. His Chris
tianity prompted bitter speeches
from his enemies, and when asked to
reconsider the question replied: "I
had rather bean Elder ln the Church
of Christ than to be a member of
Parliament." Such is the character
of true people the world over. Hen
ry Clay, your own American states
man, declared that he would rather
be right than to be the President.
God has done so much for Japan in
the past we look forward to great
results in the future.' While
profoundly grateful to Providence
and to the Christian people
of this country for the light
which has already burst upon us,
yet we cannot help making the
comparison. What is 33,000 Chris
tians compared to 40,000,000 hea
thens? I do not - mean to under
value the power of God, or take the
glory from a mere remnant of His
children, l only draw, the contrast
in order for you to see the work to
be done. Nine-tenths of the people
are yet Buddhists. Innumerable
barriers must be broken down
Priests and temples are to be over
thrown for the Priests are by no
means dead they cling with a strug
gling tenacity to the forms of religion
which are slowly crumbling in their
very hands. Intelligent Japanese
now are discarding heathenism and
drifting into a darker current- in
fidelity, agnosticism, and atheism
Huxley, Darwin and Spencer are ea
gerly read and poisoning the minds
of many of our youth against the
leacnings ot Jesus. Japan must
either have Christianity or no re
ligion. Our people admire your
Western civilzation, thinking that
constitution means the letter. They
forget that government, without
Christianity is as. a plant with no
root like a plucked flower having
no sap, it must die. ; .
