A ROMANTIC LEASE.
One Sweet Red Rose as the Rent For
u Pennsylvania Farm.

One Sweet Red Rose nS the Rent For
u Pennsylvania Farm.
The public is generally conversant
with the annual custom of paying one
red rose" rs ground rental in eastern
Pennsylvania churches to the descend
ants of those who gave the ground for
the ediiices, but it is not generally
known that hundreds of owners of
farms are under Il similar obligation,
says the Cincinnati Commercial Trib-
une.
"Rcd rose rent is yearly paid every
second Sunday in June in the Lutheran
church at Mannheim, Lancaster county;
in the T%ulpehocken Reformed church,
about sixteen miles west Of Reading
and in several cdiii rcS in I.cbanoN
county. while several congregations IN
Bcrks are entitled to observe the event
but do not.
Roses paid Oh these occasions to rep
rescntatives of families whose ances-
tors made such provisions are treas.
urcd as priceless heirlooms. and at
Mannheim they have come from many
states.
1t is known to few that more than
100 years ago great tracts Of farm
land were sold around Reading with
the same stipulation. 1t is estimated
that ut least 10000 acres of land in
Berks are subject because of a clause
In the original deeds to an annual
ground rent of M red rose.
Records of the Berks courthouse
show that many years before Baron
Stigel provided for the payment of red
rose rent by the church at Mannheim
Caspar Wistar sold land containing the
same clause.
Red rose rent is mentioned in con
nection with land In T~ulpehocken. Mar,
ion, Maxatawny, Obey and other town
ships. 1t dates back to 1873.
The Tulpehocken Reformed church IL
built on land that is subject to "ont
red rose" quit rent. The land was
owned by Caspar Wistar, brass buttor
manufacturer Of Philadelphia. The rec
rose rent has been paid to the Philadel
phia descendants of Caspar Wistar fol
some years. The most notable oh
was In 1902, when thirty
prominent Philadelphia Wistars at
tended the services and were paid IS
red roses in payment of arrears o.
rent.

Motion for Directed Verdict in Cotton
Leak Case.

Washington, June Pin the cot
ton leak" case against former Asso-
ciate Statistician Holmes Judge Stat
ford overruled the motion of Holmes
counsel that the court direct the jury
to acquit on the ground that there is
no law covering the offense charged.
Judge Stafford based his decision OF
the ground that the evidence tends to
support the allegations Of the indict-
ment and that the indictment is in
accordance with the law.
Attorney Worthington then briefly
outlined the case for the defense, say
ing principally that 1t would be shown
that the testimony given by Witness
Van Ripper, the chief reliance Of the
government, had been "a tissue Of
lies" because Mr.. Holmes had never
entered into the conspiracy alleged
to have been formed to give out the
secret information Of the department
and had never done SO. Furthermore,
1t would be shown that even IL he
had given the information as charged
he had not violated any law, because
he had not given out any real infor-
nation, but only an opinion.
