In thythm, and would lather lose an
arm than bo guilty of a crude or Inele
gant expression. Heautlful harmony,
lofty thoughts and explicable meaning
are chaiucterlsttcs of his poems and

Mr. Powell has been richly endowed
with poetical genius nnd he has on
tithed the lltuatuie of his people with
somo beautiful veises Jn the musical
language of Old Ownllu. Mr. Powell,
at one time was the editor of tho Ad
ocate. published In this city In tho
'70's In the Intel est of labor. Ho Is a
forcible English w liter, and woe to the
man who battles with him. in a contro
versial conflict. Ho was also a. leader
In labor circles when Hon. T. V. Pow
derly was In command, and was his
most formidable rlal for honors and
supremacy, and at that time was prob
ably his superior In debate and gener
alship. They were rlvuls for maoralty hon
ors. It was a battle royal. Powderly
was vlctoilous. Tho rest Is known,
Powderly soon became a national fig

no man stands higher In the literary
social circles of his people,

Mr. Roweii Is at present the tenor

strated his popularity with the audi

won the prize for the best recitation
of "The Painter of Seville," Is worthy
ot more thnn passing attention. Tor
a mere child In years she shows won
derful dramatic ability nnd a grace
of expression which Is simply entranc

tragic, and her ees of the Duse tvtie

detained over night In Hairlsburg, and
will arrive this morning T Ij. nvro,
of AVest Chester, noting as sergeant-at-nrins,
nnd Kdgar L. King, steno
grapher, accompany the committee.
Tho purpose of the commission, as
Is gmernlly known, Is to nirlve at a
collect understanding ot tho deplor
able condition of tho coal regions, as
certain It possible the cause anil lec
ommend a remedy. A like committee
Is also nt work In the bituminous le
gion. Yestotday It was In session at
Clearfield.
Bi:OAN APRIL S.
The committee began Its libois April
F, at Malunoy City. It hns held ses
sions since then at Shenandoah, Hazle
ton, Delano, Shamnkln, Pottsvllle ind
AVIlkes-Harie and besides this has Vis
ited mnnv of the smaller mining ham
'ets HUiioundine; thco towns, wher
lufominl Interviews vvetv had with
mlnirs and mine olllcinls.
It las so fur been the custom ot tho
committee to sit two days a wok,
Thuisday and I'tldav, on which divs
the senate is uuuallv not In session,
but only one clay will bo given to .ho
woik hotv this week as the members
ale scheduled. to be present at the ex
eiclses uttendant upon the unveiling of
tho Washington monument In Philadel
phia and In older to bo on hand In
time will hnve to leave this afternoon.
The session today will be held In the
Jeimjn and will commence at 0 10
o'clock a. in Tho partlcitlir loom In
which the commission will sit has not
as jet been designated but It will prob
ably bo In one of the larjre sample
rooms.
About twenty witnesses have been
summoned to appear before tho com
mission. They Inc hide members of
coal corporations, Individual operators,
mine officials, miners, business men
nnd leptesentntlves of labor organiza
tions As the ptu pose of the commit
tee Is to bring about somo nieasuie of
lellef for tho suffering, nnd ns It Is
expedient tint there should bo no de
lay that can possibly bo avoided, tho
number of witnesses summoned in
each meeting place Is limited, tho com
mittee being of the opinion that If a
general Invitation was extended for
any nnd ovorjbody to give testimony,
the Investigation would possibly bo
proti actor to such a degieo that there
would be a delay that would bo vir
tually fatal to the purposes In view.
KHI.IXTUD "WITH CARU.
That a full nnd nccuiato Investi
gation may be had, tho committee has
selected Its witnesses with the great
est caie, striving to pick out such as
will tell Intelligently and fully of the
exbitlng conditions and be able to
suggest tho causes and temedles.
Whether or not the committee will
icturn to tills city after today's ad
join nment depends entirely on what Is
accomplished today. It Is likely, how
over, that this city, the laigest nnd
most impoitnnt in the anthracite' dis
trict, will not be dismissed with a one
daj's visit.
