INFLUENTIAL TESTIMONY ON MIS-
SIONS.
THE Ex SECRETARY OF STATE SPEAKS.

"a Layman's View of Foreign Mis-
sions" was given to Chicago audiences
on Sunday, October 6, by Hon. John W.
Foster, exSecretary of State and coun-
sci of the Chinese government in the
late war settlement with Japan. Mr.
Foster spoke in the morning in the Sec
ond Presbyterian Church, and in the
evening at the Fourth Presbyterian
Church. Large audiences listened to
the address, which was an epitome of
Mr.. Fosters observations during tour
around the world last year, in which he
visited the Holy Land. Egypt. Ceylon,
India, Burmah, the British Strait settle
ments and the Malay Peninsula, Ton
quin, China. Corea and japan, as we'll
as his recent visit to japan and China
in connection with peace negotiations.
This distinguished statesman and
diplomat rendered a testimony to the
value of missions in the foreign field
which is eminently noteworthy. In the
addresses given as above, Mr.. Foster
commended the work of Foreign Mis-
sions and urged more aggressiveness in
their behalf among the Christian
churches of our country. Such an en-
dorsement is worth carloads of the su-
perfical objections sometimes urged
against missions by those who have not
had Mr.. Fosters opportunity for study
ing the subject. Wegive following some
points of the address which was SUBJ
stantially the same at both churches.

The Gaiety Girls troupe enjoyed
their short stay here yesterday.
They expressed themselves as very
much delighted with their treat

attraction. When the band played

contain themselves and danced for
joy, waving their hands at the

the steamer hauled slowly out in

Thurston Responds To Toast at a Ban

IhurstOn Responds To n Toast at Ban
quet.
TRENTON IN. J.), Feb. 2S.-At the
annual banquet of the Trenton Board
of Trade last night the Hon. Lorrin A.
Thurston, Hawaiian Minister to the
United States, responded to the toast,
"The Commercial Control of the Pac-
ific." After expressing his pride in
representing the youngest republic in
the world, Mr.. Thurston quoted figures
showing the magnitude and the growth
of commerce in the Pacific Ocean.
Not a vessel, he said, could go across
the Pacific Ocean without stopping at
Hawaii for coal. The great nations
are taking strides in subsidizing the
traffic in the Pacific, paying greater
attention to the Pacific Islands than
to Africa.
Canada has recognized the value of
the commerce of the Pacific, and has
started four steamship companies from
Vancouver, aud every effort is being
made to push trade.
Mr.. Thurston said one of the means
of establishing closer relations with
Hawaii was by building the proposed
cable. This he earnestly advocated.

Newspaper Subscription Laws.

Few readers or publishers of papers
fully and clearly understand the laws
governing subscriptions. The de-
cisions of the United States Court on
this subject are:
l. Subscribers who do not give
express notice to the contrary are con-
sidered as wishing to renew their
subscriptions.
2. If subscribers order the discon-
tinuance of their periodicals, the pub
Usher may continue to send them I'M
til arrearages are paid.
3. If subscribers neglect or refuse
to take their periodicals from the
postoffice to which they are directed,
they are responsible until they have
settled their bills and ordered them
discontinued.
4. If subscribers move to other
places without informing the pub
Usher, and the papers are sent to the
former address, they are held respon-
sible.
5. The courts have decided that
refusing to take periodicals from the
office, or removing and leaving them
uncalled for, ia PRIMrA FACIE evidence
of intentional fraud.
6. If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give notice at the
end of the time if they do not wish to
continue taking; otherwise the pub
Usher is authorized to send it, and
the subscriber will be responsible I'M
til an express notice, with payment Of
all aIrearages, is sent to the publisher.
The latest postal laws are such that
newspaper publishers can arrest any
one for fraud who takes paper and
refuses to pay for it. Under this law
the man who allows his subscription
to run along for some time unpaid,
and then orders it discontinued, or
orders the postmaster TO mark it
refused" and have a postal card sent
notifying the publisher, leaves Himself
liable TO arrest, the same as for
theft.
