SAINTHOOD IS SACRIFICE

be found In the humblest walks of life
as well as In the hlcbest. This must

In the absence of Co iii'-l V I FltK

One ot the best things of 'the evening
was Tin ron . Osboi ne's response to
tho toast "Th Ttue Olllce of Poetry."
That It was worthv of him Is saying
stillliienl. In this eonimunitj, where his
iibllltv is so well known. This is an
excerpt Horn his sp ei lr
OFFICE OF POUT It Y.
"Poetry Is something that pioduces
an effect. It does not depend on
thought, rhyme or ihythm. It is some
thing that accompanies the lines, nn
Invisible presence that tin ills and cap
tivates. Your aignsy may enmo
fielghted with the spices and prefumes
of tlie tropics. You may admire the
stately prow, tho shining sails, tin
glutei ing appointments, tlie rippling
wateis In her wake, but these are not
the ti ensures she bilurrs. Onlv ho
who enters Into the ship, unseals tho
packages nnd opens the Jars may know
the wealth of the tropics. One of our
own Pennsylvania poets has beauti
fully snld that cho Is the entiment
that hoi aids the approach of tumult
to the valley of silence. So the poet's
veiso is the herald that ln'ngs the
message of tilings supernal to the in
most recesses of the soul."
"Poetiy Is what nature speaks to
man. It Is the lnngungp of the floweis
and the voice of the hard rocks. It
Is that whli h when absorbed nnd made
a part of tlie poet's being may be
bioathed foith with power for the ele
vation nnd advancement of the roep.
"Urcatlie It upon the cold arguments
of philosophy UI1C We have an Insight
Into things entoniiil, almost Gid-llke.
"Bie.ithe It upon nllglon. pollth s.
philanthiophv and reform and wu
have the song of civilization. A few
months ago the poet-laureate of Hug
land lifted tiji his voice and said: 'Let
us hav done with a worn out tale,
the tale of ancient wrong and In
hi others as the nienibeis of the great
Anglo-Saxon ,apu should be.' And It
has done mme to obllteiate the ani
mosity existing between Amei ica and
England than all the niguments of a
hundred years.'
Dr. J. Francis Jones, professor of
biology at Mmietta college, Ohio, one
of the gue-ts of the evening, spoke of
tlie pieservatlon of AVelsh Uieiatiire
and the movement to establish a chair
of Celtic llteratme at tho college. Tom
Ileynon followed with a solo, "Acioi.s
the Stioam," nnd was encored, and

COAL LEASE IS
IN JEOPARDY
WEST RIDGE COMPANY HAS AP
PEALED TO EQUITY COURT.
Stilviti(t to Prevent the Foifelture of
an Instalment Executed in 1801
Between Company nnd nelrs of
Ferdinand Von Slot ch Company
Did Not Pay Minimum Roynlty
Speclned in the Lease Reason
Given for the Failure of the Com
pany to Live Up to Agieement.
There was n hearing before Judgo R.
AV. Aichbald yestenlay in the equity
pioceedlngs In ought by the AVest Rldgo
Coal company against the heirs of Fer
dinand Aon Storch, deceased. In 161)1
the A'eui Storchs leased the coat under
i one hundred acres of land In North
Sci union to tho West Ridge company,
the lease providing that a minimum
i of .lll.iiw tons per annum should bo
I mined. The lease was for tho coal
, undeiivlng the land lielow tho Clink
vi in, the coal In the upper veins, with
the exception of a plot of threo acres,
which had been leserved, wns convoyed
ems liefoto to tho Delaware and Hud-
I son Canal company.
I The West Ridge company was given
all the coal under the three acres re
served In the lease to the Delaware
and Hudson company nnd In the re
mainder of the one hundred ncies the
coal was to be taken from thu two
Dunmore veins, which aro deeper down
In the earth thun tho Clink vein, which
minks the end of the Delaware nnd
Hudson company's donintn.
lu IsUC Hi. West Rldgo company de
faulted In the payment of the mini
j mum amount of royalty and the Von
More n nous served notice that this
action act d n: a foifeltuie of the lease.
The West Ridge lieople theiellpon In
November, 1890, filed a bill In equity to
restrain the heirs from forfeiting tho
lease on the mound that It was impos
sible to get nut tlie minimum amount
of coal became of a fault that had
been stiuck in the upper Dunmoi e vein.
The beds contend that this would not
prevent the company fiom actively
prosecuting mining operations In the
lower Dunmore vein, which contains
tin eo feet of good cool. Since 1SU6 the
AYest Ridge lompany has tendered
various amounts In payment of royal
ties. 1 ut as they did not re'icli tho
minimum amount called for by the
lease they weie not accepted,
The healing of yesterday was a con
tinuation of one held Inst September,
the purpose of the continuation being
to enable the AYest Rldgo company to
extend a bore hole fifty foot further
into the eaith for the puiposo of us
certnlnng the extent of tho "fault" In
the upper Dunmore vein complained
of by the mining company, us well an
the chin actor of the velnsj below the
Clark.
The AVest Ridge company attempted
to put dow n this hole, but In doing so
had to go Into abandoned workings of
the A'on Stoich mine of tho Delaware
and Hudson Canal company. Mr. Rose,
who has charge of the coal department
of that company, lefused to allow the
hole to be boied nnd removed the bor
ing Implements set up by tho AA'est
Rldgo people. He took the position
that the Duiiinore vein contains great
quantities of gas and the bore-hole
would bp the means of sending It Into
their nbandoned world gs, whcio It
would be diflli ult to dlslodgt it. A dls
osttous explosion might result.
After much urging he agreed to al
low the AA'est Ridge peoplu to proce"d
with the hole If they would agice to
file a bond to indemnify the Delaware
and Hudson eomoany for damage that
might at any time occur by reapon of
the boro-hole. This the AA'est Rldgo
company dec lined to do.
They put down a boie-liole close to
tho shaft, but at tho hearl'ig yosteiday
evidence as lo this was objected to be
cause the defendants were not pies
ent when this hole was made and be
cause It was t o near tho shaft to do
teiinliic an thing, and was not equiva
lent to a continuation of thu original
hole.
Judgo An hbald sustained the objec
tion nnd uiled out the evidence con
cerning the new bine-hole. He ad
mitted a number of argumentative dia
grams as evidence in tho case. The
case was then closed and will bo aigued
