In an opinion refusing n new trial In tlio ease of Mnria Whoclor agalnm tho Lackawanna Coal Company Accidental association, Judgo Edwards yesterday mado an Impoltant mllne In tho matter of expulsion for auearageB In dues, deciding that tho expulsion clause ot by-laws In such bocletles Is not effect ive until reinforced by Borne kind of affirmative action. Tho opinion In full la given below: When this case was tried we directed full amount Of her claim. We considered Ul ino umo mm ma mus ivhiuii nwo -tcrlal In this dthpiMtlon of tho case wero undisputed. In reviewing tho evlilenee, tho chargo of tho court and tho authori ties, we aro satisfied that tho Instructions were corroct and that, therefore, tho ver dict should stand. Tho defendant Is an Incorporated bene ficial association, whoso members consist of tho employes of tho Lackawanna Coal company colliery and other persons work lne in other mines In tho same lcinlty. William Whoolcr, tho husband of tho plaintiff, during his lifetime, was a mem ber of the association. It was claimed by tho defendant that "Wheeler was In ar rears in his dues .5 tho amount of $1.25, at tho Mm of his death. Ills arreatage, if there was any, accrued some time in 1891, about six or eight months prior to Wheeler's death In May, 1S03. There was eomo dispute as to tho fact of nrrcarase. According to tho books of tho association Wheeler was In nrrcars: but according to tho testimony of the plaintiff and other witnesses, ho wus not. It teems that occasonally ducs would bo paid to tho secretary ut Mi houie, or oftlco, or on tho street, ns . mattr of convenience to tho membo-d who could not attend tho meetings of the association. AccordlnR to defendant's by-laws tho secretary had no authority to receive money In this way. TO BE PAID TO TltKASUnEn. All moneys were to bo paid to tho treasurer at tho regular meetings ot tho association. This custom of paying to tho secretary had been recognized to somo extent by tho defendant. Hut this dis puted question of fact was not submitted to tho jury becauso the caso was decided on another point. One of tho undisputed facts in tho case was that tho association took no action In referenco to AVheclcr's arrearage and membership, until after his death, when ho was declared to be In arrears and not entitled to be consid ered a member and that tho association as such would not attend tho funeral. This wa3 the llrst alllrmativo action on tho part of tho association in tho Wheeler case. Tor several months after the al leged arrearage had accrued, Wheeler continued to pay his dues regularly and theso payments wero entered upon tho books of tho defendant. No effort was mado to adjust any dlsputo by tno ap polntmcnt of a committee or by a hcar- ilng. Everything went on as usual ana IWheclcr'a membership in tho association vaa not questioned or disturbed until lifter his death, lie was not "dropped krom membership" which may be dono lecordlng to tho by-laws, when a mem ber is In arrears to tho amount of J1.2j. fciUng failed to do this and having con- -ucd to recognizo Whteler as a member Irecelvlng his monthly dues, wo aro of 1 opinion that the association Is now hpod from denslng tho claim of tho Illy for tho burial expenses. Ictlon 2, Article V, of tho Ly-laws of association Is as follows: Iny mcrrber In on ears if or dues two Iths -after tho regular pay-day of tho law anna Coal company s colliery, not bo entitled to benefits; and any Iber In arrears to tho amount of $1.-3 i bo dropped frcm membership." pn a member dies tho family Is en- Ito $73 for burial expenses. The first pf-riio section quoted is evidently I-ocecutlna It requires no action on tho part of IB association. Tho second tlauso ren.ulroanlrnlntlve action on tho pirt of the association beforo it can bo enforced. The member "bhall bo dropped from membership." Various courts in construing clauses of this naturo havo differed in their views, but we adopt the Iew which Is least favorablo to a for feiture without notice. The question Is discussed by Ntblaclc In his work on benefit societies. Wo quote from section 2ST, second edition: MUST TAKE ACTION. "In order to work a forfeiture of the rights of a member, tho society must, as a gdneral rule, take definite action upon thu default of a member and declare tho conn act at an end. By the express and unequivocal terms of the contract the de fault ot the member may of Itself work a torfelture, but a construction thut will Mimmarlly cut oft tho rubstantlal rights of tl member Is never red. Wlwro It is proIdcd that any member vhc) shall not pay within a certain tlmo Shall forfeit his claim to membership and have his name stricken from the i oil,' this provision Is not self -executing, but requires afllrmatlvo action on the part of tho society declaring the forfeit ure In order to terminate tho member hnlp. Tho society must ascertain tho fact ot delinquency and Impose the penalty, and until that is dono, his membership is not terminated." The same doctrine Is enunciated In the H2e of tho Commonwealth vs. tho l'enn- Mvanla Beneficial Institution, 2 S. &. 110. Tho facts of this case show that lording to the rules of the defendant llety, each mcrrber was to pay CO cents 'a monthly contribution and if ony ember should neglect to pay for thiee Ronths, ho should bo ONpelled. Tho lamea of John Hansell and others were struck from the rolls but without a vote )f expulsion on the pait of the society. iiJghman, C. J., says: "Thcio was no fvoto of expulsion, becauso In the opinion 'of tho officers who havo made return to tho mandamus, the non-payment of tlicti contribution for three months, was Ipso HAIR HUMOR: Heller, Irritated, icily, crnitv ' Bcalpi, dry, (bio, nil falling Mair, cleansed, purified, ast beauti fied by warm shampoos with 0 Unocal Boir, and occasional dreitlngi of Gtrncuaa,puiit of emollient!, lh greatest Ik In cures, (uiicura Treatment will produce a clean, beattbjr icatp with luiurliot, luitroni balr, when all elio falls.

Our at tcutlon has been called bv defendant's counsel to tho caso of Phillips vs. Aid soclot, reported in C Pn. Superior court 157, and decided recently. Wo havo ex amined this caso carefully and without our vIowh ns expressed In this opinion, In tho Phillips caso tho provision In tho policy reads thus. "Anvmomber In nr ronrn for more than three weeks' dues shall not bo entitled to benefits, but such members inn bo reinstated by pajlng such nrrears, nnd passing nn examina tion, though they will not bo entitled to benefits should sickness, nccldcnt or death occur within flo weeks from data of reinstatement." Mrs. Phillips died within tho period of flvo weeks following her reinstatement. The beneficiary was thereforo not entitled to recover. Tho Insured was In default according to tho terms of her contract. Tho provision re ferred to is self-executing and by tho most liberal construction required no ac tion on the part of tho defendint com pany. Herein, In our opinion, reals the distinguishing fe.ituro of tho nso ut bar nnd tho other cases cited, viz, tint whero It Is provided that n member shall be expelled or suspended, or th it ho shall bo dropped from membership under cir ttttn circumstances, tho forfeiture must bo declared by legal and alllrmativo action on tho part of tho society. Tho binding Instructions given to tho jury nro Justified by tho facts of thci case. Tho mateilnl facts nie undlspt.tol. Tho verdict la a ;tibt one. The inlo for a now trial is therefore discharged and n now trial refused. INJUNCTION A1ADE PERMANENT. Judgo ;nnslor llnuils Down Ills Opinion in tlio .11 1 lie Case. Judge Gunstor jestcrday handed down his opinion in tho Richmond mine Injunction case, deciding in favor of Mine Inspector Roderick, ljy mak ing the tenipoiary Injunction perma nent. Inspector Roderick claimed that tho Klk Hill Coil and Iron company, which operates tho colliery in question, vio lated the mine law In working men at mining coal for maiket in liunmore No. 2 vein, w hlch has but one opening and In not keeping the bccond opening from the upper or Clark vein fitted .it all times with proper and bafc appli ances for escape, the particular com plalrtb In this respect being that n bucket was used Instead of a protected cage fitted with guides and "dogs;" that the bunting was In a bid state of disrepair and that steam was not kept In the boilers nnd no engineer was kept at hand to hoist men thiough this sec ond or safety opening In case of an emergency. Tho company contended that It Is making a second opening from tho Dunmore vein, nnd that the law per mits It to v ork as high as twenty men even at mining coal during tho progress of tho cutting of the second opening. As to the absence of a cage In tho sec ondary shaft, tho company explained that tho bucket is only to be used while tho repairing of the damaged bunting Is going on. In relation to tho keeping of steam In tho hollers' constantly and an engineer always on bond, the com pany maintained that the law did not strlctlv Impose tills very apparent hardship and that the court in its dis cretion could bo justly applicable to tho caso In hand. Tho colliery In ques tion is such a small one, It was con tended, It could not lie piofltnbly work ed If tho frtrlct leading of tho law as contended f or "by the Inspector was In sisted upon. Judge Gunster's opinion covers six teen typo wiltton pages. It Is epito mized In ths following excerpt, with which he Introduces his findings and conclusions in detail ' In tho present cnse the enforcement of a compliance with tho law will no dowbt make tho defendants' mine loss nrofltoble, but It will make It also cor respondingly more safe. Tho question of profit Is not a factor In the cnse; the question of safety, Is; and unless tho defendants carry on their operations In bitch a manner and with such appli ances as the law directs they must not mlna at all." Ry a modification of the opinion pre viously made, tho company Is per mitted to work men on the second openings and this work is now being pushed forward with due haste. COONS DECLARED INSANE. Ho Will He Sunt to tho Hilltlde Home. "King of the Ho"boes," Fred. Coons, arrested Sunday by Special Ofllcor John Ccblett for burning tlmberlands owned by the Lackawanna Iron and Coal company, was declated Insane by med ical examiners yesterday and will bo sent to tu'e Hillside Ifome. Ho was examined by Doctors P. P. Gunster and Albert IColb. Tho "king" was adjudged harmless, us far as doing physical Injury to nn othei person Is concerned, but a men ace to property fastened or loose and ro confinement was considered best for him and tho public. He told the police that secret organizations wero "keep ing things down;" that It was hard on that account "for n feller to make an ewy living nowadays." When asked to explain this -statement ho wild secret orgnnlzitlons had fixed thlngo so that only very little work Is dono now ns compared with former times; conse quently, men, like himself, who wanted to work, couldn't find any work to do. When asked by tho phvslclans to close his ejes tight nnd walk stialght ahead, he ambled of at an unglo of SO degrees; an evidence that his brain was us crooked and uncertain ns the paths h'o had for months lieon tryjny to follow while roaming the woods. "Jus" 's sun bo there 'h nnywheie," tho "king" said when abkod if ho would like to go to tho Ifome. PAPGRS NOT COUPLP.TnD. Application for Writ of Quo Wnrrnnlo Not .Mndo Yesterday.

Jonas Long's COAL AN IMPORTANT FACTOR. Ought to Mnko tha American nnd Englitli Nftvies Invincible. "Waifare has become nn exact sci ence wherein personal valor counts for little nnd victories are won by ma chinery and its intelligent and skillful manipulation," suys the Philadelphia Stockholder. "Should the complications now menacing the peace of Europe, in connection with the partition of China, and those which threaten the friendly relations hitherto existing between tho United States and Spain eventuate in nrmed conlllct, the world Is likely to be given at least one Impressive lesson as to the elements which govern modern war. Should there bo an outbreak ot hostilities In the eabt, with Great Brit ain on tho one side, opposed by France or Russia or Germany or all of them, It Is certain to be a naval war. "It may bo timely to point out at thl3 Juncture that to carry on war upon tho sea a greater essential than armor and armament It the steam power requis ite to the handling of fighting ehips. Kven the holstlng.of the shot Into tho big modern guns require steam. What can be accomplished by France or Rus sia or Germany In Asiatic waters de pends, not upon tho weight of guns or thickness of armor, or courage of men, but upon coal plain everyday, Inert coal. If England can deprive her pos sible antagonists of fuel she has them whipped without the firing of a shot. Great Britain controls absolutely ull the supplies of coal contiguous! to tho probable field of operations, excepting such as are controlled by Japan. More over, the British government has taken measures to Intercept and purchase all cargoes of coal entering those waters. The powers now engaged in a scramble for ohoice slices of territory and con cessions of various sorts on the Chlneso coast must realize that England has them, to an extent, at her mercy." 'The same state of affairs may u aid to elst with respect to th situa tion which appears to bo looming up on thlB side of the world, as between the United States and Spain. In the event of war a Spanish navy In American waters would be very likely to be ren deied helpless by Us Inability to obtain coal. Few vessels of the Spanish navy nie nblu to carry across the ocean with them such fuel supplies ns would ho required in making a demonstration up on our coasts. Spain hitherto has pur chased her navy coal from Great Brit ain, and has stored It at Havana. Of course, In the event of war tho harbor of Havana could bo closed aralnst nil Ppanlsh vesMls within n few days. Nor Is It likely tint Great Britain as u neutral pow er would permit armed ves tels to coal In uny of her ports In the West Indies. "Considerations of so material and unsentimental character must bo ex ceedingly distasteful to the haughty Spaniard, but If ths Spanish ministry can bring itself to contemplate such u prosata factor, It mny oven yet hesitate to bring on hostilities by continued re sistance to the Just demands of this country. It needs but a cuifcory survey of conditions tho woild over to bring tho conviction that, however it may be upon land. In war upon the ocean the United States nnd Groat Britain, by thejr control of the world's fuel sup plies, are practically invincible. CONSTABLES WERE ANORV.
