The Mining sulietIn

The last two numbers of the Min
ing Bulletin of the Pennsylvania
State College contain some very in
teresting information regarding the
probabilities of our Commonwealth
in petroleum which shows that the
stocks of oil have materially deoreas-
ed that the result of the pew works
have fallen off, that the production
has decreased, while at the same
time our shipments abroad and our
consumption have increased. 1t is
shown that the shipments of the
Lima Indiana oil have now reached
those of our own state and 1t is
hoped, though there seems no brill
liant prospect for it, that Pennsyl-
vania may recover her possession
as an oil producer. That the con-
sumption will increase is no doubt,
but will the production meet itp
We are experiencing no serious
competition from the Russian or
western oil, as America produces
the best illuminant. There should,
therefore, be a stimulus to our
western countries and all trades de-
pendant on oil.
The Standard oil company offers 65
cents a barrel, and IN the speculative
markets n cents can be had. The
producers s day is coming and again
should we have the busy prospector
and blooming days of oil.
Lima oil is crowding Pennsyl-
vania very hard and last month
shipped daily within 800 barrels as
much as Pennsylvania. We hope
to hear from Bradford and Roaring
Creek again, as with cash oil at &C
cents and higher indications, the
times are improving.

Author of"Nearer. My God,
To Thee"

o n0Ss
Mrs. Sarah Flower Adams was the
of the grand hymn. This
lady was born in Cambridge, Eng
land, in the month of February, 1906.
Her father was the editor of a week
ly Cambridge paper, and the same au-
thority informs us that her mother
was woman of fine gifts and cul-
ture. The sweet hymn writer was
the youngest child, and was early
noted for the taste which she mani
tested in literature, and later in life
for great zeal and earnestness in her
religious life. She is said to have
contributed both prose and verse to
the periodicals of her day, and to
have her criticisms in art matters
highly esteemed. She wrote a cat
echism for children, which was pub
lished in the year 1s42. She married
young, was of fair constitution, but
was always, even with many Great
ure complaints, very busy with her
literary labor. At just what time
and under what circumstances she
wrote the great hymn is not
known. It was first published in
1s41, but the authoress never knew
the fame which the sacred song
brought her. Mrs. Adams died at
the age of "A, and since then the
lines she penned have been singing
themselves round the world.

CAROLINA's GOvERNoRsHIP.
t. ID. Tillman's Candidacy to Make
the Fight Lively One

the Fight Lively One.
Washington, Feb. 2l.-The entrance of
Hon. George D. Tnlman, in the Guberna-
torial race, has stirred up much interest
among the South Carolina delegation in
Congress. The fact of Mr.. Ttllman's an
nouncement was printed in the local pa
pers here this morning, and was a surpris-
ing piece Of news to the South Carolinians.
All of the South Carolinians regard Mr..
IIllman as strong factor in the race al
ready. They say that he will make a for
mldaple candidate, and that his local op-
ton platform will insure lively fight.
In TINS connection there is much conjec-
turing as to what position Senator Till
man will take in the coming fight, the 9TH
er three announced candidates, Messrs.
Ellerbe, Archer and Watson being friends
of the Tillman dispensary law, and in view
Of the fact that the senator's brother will
favor local option, it is believed by some
that Senator Tillman, while taking no open
part, will do all he can for the mainte-
nance of his hobby law.
The Senator said some time ago that il
the dispensary law was attacked in the
coming fight he would go TO South Caro-
lima and defend it, and there is no reason
to believe that he would take any other
course should his brother make an ag-
gressive fight against it,
Representative Stokes of the Seventh
district does not believe Senator Tillman's
brother will make an aggressive fight
against the dispensary law, but he will
put up strong fight for local option.
Mr.. Stokes was inclined TO think that SEN
ator Tillman would keep his hands off of
the Gubernatorial fight.
Il have taken no stand, for I do not be-
lieve it proper for a Congressman to enter
into the political fight at home" said Mr..
Stokes. II do not know how the other
congressman from South Carolina stano.
l think the dispensary law is working
very well now, and is in very good favor
Representative Wilson, of the Fourth,
said Mr.. Tfllman would undoubtedly be an
important factor, and that there would be
a lively fight. He thought there would be
six candidates in the race 10 stay.
Mr.. Norton of the Sixth district has just
returned from South Carolina, and he
thinks there was never better signs of a
very active campaign. Mr.. Tillman's call-
didacy, he thinks, will have material hear
ing on the race. Mr. Norton is interested
in the success of his former clerk Con.
troller Durham, who is candidate for re-
election against Mr.. Epton, and during
his two recent visits home he has beer
criticised some for taking part in the state
campaign, but this, he says, does not both
er him.
Representatives Elliott and Strait are o.
the opinion that Mr.. Tillman's entrancs
into the race will cause a liVelier figh
than would have been seen otherwise.
None of the congressman had any opin
ion as to the result in the coming fight
or, at least, had no opinion for the public
All of them agree, however that the can
didacy of Mr.. Tllman insures lively cnt
interesting campaign.

FEDERAL AND STATE COURTS.
Unwarranted Interference by the
Former In a Texas Case.

Washington, Feb Ain the case of
William Grlce and others, under Indict-
ment in Texas for violating the antitrust
law of that state, the United States SUI
preme Court to-day held that the Federal
Circuit Court had interfered IN granting a
writ Of habeas corpus when no proper e1i-
gency arose for such interference and
therefore reversed the decision remanding
the prisoners to the custody of the STATE
officials The court dld not enter upon the
merits Of the antitrust law.
Grice and others, engaged as agents for
the Standard Oil Company, were indicted
in McI4ennon county, Texas, on the charge
OF conspiracy against the antitrust law,
and he appealed to the Federal Circuit
Court for a writ of habeas corpus before
his trial, In deciding the case, Justice
Peckham said that, while the Circuit Court
has jurisdiction in cases such as this, new
ertheless Circuit Courts ought not TO ex-
ercise that jurisdiction by the discharge of
a prisoner unless in cases of peculiar ur-
gency, so that, instead of discharging
them. they should leave prisoners to be
dealt with by the courts OF the states, and
that after a final determination of the
case by the state court, the Federal Courts
viii ~san then generally leave the petit
toner 10 his remedy by writ Of error from
this court
The court proceeds to say that the Ju-
risdictioh Is an exceedingly delicate one
for the Federal Courts, and should not be
encouraged unless in most exceptional
cases. After reviewing the case at some
length, the Justice adds: This whole case
Is clearly but an attempt 10 obtain the
Interference of a court of the United States
when no extraordinary or peculiar cir
cumstances exist la favor of such
Interference exists. Upon the facts we
think no sufficient case was made out for
the exercise of jurisdiction. We come to
this decision irrespective OF the question
OF the valil ty of the stale statute, ana
without passing upon the same or express
ing any opinion In regard thereto"
He adds that II Grice's appeal had been
after conviction a different question would
have been presented, but under these cir
cumstances no other course than that
taken was possible and hence the merits
Of the state law cannot be entered upon.
Directions were given, therefore, ordering
the setting aside of the habeas corpus
and the order discharging she prisoner,
and to enter an order remanding the pris-
oner to the custody of the state officials.
The effect of the decision Is to require
the completion Of action by the state
courts before the Intervention Of the fed
eral courts
