their order for its purposes and accom-
plishments along the theme of the text:
''They that are learned shall shine as
the brightness of the armament, and
they that instruct many to justice, as
stars to all eternity"
In the course of his remarks he
| made the statement that a sister of, a
| teaching order who should neglect her
| mental training even though it be for
the practice of some piety, would he
| guilty of a wrong and would have to
| answer for it like for any other sinful
| omission. Her first duty, he went so
far as to say, was to develop her intel
| lectual powers and the sister who de-
voted herself to prayer to the exclusion
Of study was unfaithful to her duty.
At the close of the mass the remains
were conveyed to Hyde Park Catholic
| cemetery, where they were inferred in
| the sisters plot, after the chanting OF
| the benedictus by the priests. The pail

TWO MINE ACCIDENTS.
One of Them May Result in the Death
of George FOIlet.

George Follet, an 1S-year-old laborer
at Johnson's colliery. Priceburg, was
possibly fatally injured yesterday
morning by a fall Of top coal.
He sustained compound fracture of
the left leg, a simple fracture of the
right, cuts about the head and face
and painful bruises all over his body.
The left leg was so badly mangled that
the physicians of the Lackawanna hos
pital, where he was removed at noon,
found it necessary to amputate ii. He
was reported to be in critical condi-
tion last night with the chances of re-
covery against him.
Thomas Nee, fourteen years of age,
a doortender at the Greenwood colliery,
was received at the Lackawanna hospi-
tai yesterday suffering from a badly
cut and bruised leg, the consequence of
his falling beneath the wheels of a
loaded mine car. The doctors say there
is little doubt but that the leg will be
saved.

According to the statements of James
Terry, special agent of the department
of agriculture, Scrantonlans or resi-
dents nearby have, during the past few
weeks, consumed unbeknowingly some
fortyfive hundred pounds and possibly
much more. of the unpopular concoc-
tion of tallow fat and carrot juice,
which masquerades for butter under
the name of oleomargerine.
The United States law, as newspaper
readers are doubtless aware, permits
the stuff to be manufactured and sold,
providing 1t is properly tagged, but Is
very much averse to its travelling "in
cog" so much so, indeed, that 1t
fixes a penalty for its sale or eX-
position for sale when it does not bear
a prescribed announcement of its being
counterfeit
AS a result of Special Agent Terry's
discovery, four Scranton men are LA
bic to feel the weight of this law. This
quartette is composed of Frank c. Day,
butcher, of 905 Capouse avenue; Will
lam Leighton, huckster of 321 Phelps
street, and o. A. and w. A. Beemer,
dining room keepers, of Washington
avenue.
THE WARRANTS SERVED.
Warrants were served on all four of
them yesterday by Constable Coles
and they are to appear. at o'clock this
morning at Alderman Howe's office to
make answer to Agent Terry's accusa-
tions.
Day, it appears, engaged Leighton
to import the stuff from Chicago, agree
ing to dispose of it and pay commits
sion from the proceeds to the importer.
The commission was not forthcoming
and a dispute ensued. In some way,
not made public, the dispute and the
circumstances leading up to it found
their way up to New Albany, Bradford
county, the home of Mr.. Terry, one Of
seven officers whom the dairy bureau
of the agricultural department keeps
under pay for the special purpose of
keeping an eye on oleo.
He took a quiet run down to Scran-
ton, nosed about until he found a sam
pie of the mixture in Beemer's restaur-
ant, submitted it to Albert H. Welles,
| professor of chemistry at the Scranton
high school, received a report to the ef-
| feet that 1t was unmistakable oleomar-
| gerine and then proceeded to call the
law down upon the offenders.
Butcher Day and Huckster Leighton,
| 1t is supposed, sold the most of their
importations from house to house.
