Remarkable az it may seem. there
lives within eight miles of Millerton,
Pa, a large community of people who
believe, argue and teach that the world
is fiat instead of spherical. They are
honest and respectable folk, most of
them being farmers. The pastor OF
the community is a pulpit orator of
much ability, and occasionally he
teaches this doctrine from the rostrum,
backing UP his arguments by quota
tions from little book-not the Bible
which attempts to explain all the
astronomical phenomena which have
worried the most eminent scientists
and philosophers for centuries.

The southern states are beginning tc
pay more attention to wheat growing.
A wheat growers convention was held
at Greenwood, S. c., recently, at which
representative farmers from various
sections of the state exchanged views
and agreed that wheat should be plant
ed more extensively. There is much
upland in the south that is good for
wheat, and while that section would
never become exporters of this cereal
they might raise enough to make con-
siderable difference in the domestic
supply. At present an extensive market
for northern -four is found in the south

A recent report says that frealSish
rainstorm was witnessed in Philadel-
phia few days ago. On the west side
Broad street WAS wet and people had
their umbrellas up, while on the east
side not drop of rain fell. The d:vid-
ing line of the shower was the middle
of the street, the mark being as
straight as if made with rule. From
this it would seem that things do hap
pen in Philadelphia after all.

BouDtcous Store to the De-

along its struggling enterprise of a low

DEMOCRACY OF OHIO.
A Platform Which Has for Il FOun-
dation But a CrumblinG Mass
of Erctenses.

Ohio democrats, in nominating plu-
tocrat for governor on an anti-capital
platform, confirmed the general opin-
ion that it is money in the abstract and
not in its concrete form to which they
object. But that in itself is not so sin
gular in democratic conventions as to
excite much comment, and the chief
feature of the Ohio convention was ifG
reat1irmation of the Chicago platfCC's.
and the reabsorption of Bryan. TheSe
two things go together, the pedestal and
the statue, though it is little awkward
to imagine as Il statue one who talks so
much.
The chairman of the democratic con-
vention in Ohio said: THE democratic
party of Ohio stands squarely upon
every plank of the Chicago platform of
1S9e," and the convention 5 resolutions
began: I'VE heartily reaffirm the entire
Chicago platform of 1896, and we espe-
cially emphasize the financial plank
therein \ party that could emphasize
that could emphasize anything; and so
they went on: civilian j. Bryan still
retains our entire confidence, and we
demand his denomination in 1900.'
This action by the Ohio democrats
makes more certain the already assured
denomination of Bryan on the Chicago
platform. The issues of the national
campaign of 1900 are already deter
mined. The republican party will not
fear to again accept the duty of level
| ing a platform whose worm-eaten SIN
! teen by one planks are reinforced by
| the striking false work of anti-oXpan-
sion. Ohio democrats simply share in
! their party.s mania, but this republic
is too large and too prosper( is to be
given over to frcnzy.-Troy Times.
UOpposition to imperialism, mill
tarism and ruthless conquest is one
thing-and u very proper thing Whole
sale denunciation of the American spir-

coupled with deitication of a blackmail-

A government scientist takes occa-
sion. now that the price of meat has
been advanced to an extent not eX-
plained by any reasonable cause, to
urge that Americans not only eat too
much meat, but too much food in gen
eral. 1t is pointed out that over-eating
interferes with the proper nourish-
ment of the body and leads to many
forms of preventabIe illness and dis
ability. The brain, as much as any
organ, is burdened by excessive eating,
and the whole nervous system de-
pressed and deranged. Maladies Of the
stomach are at least as common in this
country as in any other. The ready
remedy for extortion in the meat mar
ket is to cut down the amount con-
sumed. This measure, in all probabil-
Ity, will also improve the public health.

One of the most interesting features
of nightmare to psychologists is not
so much the popularity of the more
grotesque dreams, but the fact that
every individual has one dream pecu-
liar to him or herself. With most peo-
pie, Says a scientific authority, the re-
current dream dates from childhood,
decreasing in frequency as the subject
grows older, and seldom persisting past
majority. The terror that the recur-
ring gdream Inspires seldom diminishes in
it's intensity, but simply grows less fre-
quent in its visits, finally disappearing
altogether. In quite a number of cases
when the recurring dream has been alb
sent so long that it is almost forgotten
it has recurred in spell of severe sick
ness, and hundreds of dying people
have shown by their actions and NUT
terings, when in their death stupor,
that the old dread of their babyhood
has returned as they breathe their last.

Mr.. DILLINGHAM'S PROJECT.
Time Mont Yet Arrived for Details
to be Published.

Mr.. Dillingham; was seen yesterday
regarding the proposition to change the
Harbor line, which was submitted at
Uhe Cabinet meeting in the morning
and discussed at length during the
afternoon session.
Mr.. Dillingham; said that the time
was premature for making the project
of the o. r. & l.. Co, known in detail,
in view OF the fact the matter is just
about to be brought and argued before
the Cabinet. If publication Of details
is made now, before the Cabinet has
time to consider them, it would pro-
baby dc more harm than good. If the
Cabinet thinks favorably Of the pro-
ject, all right; then is the time ito let
the public know what improvements
the o. r. & L. Co. Intends to make in
the harbOr.
The proposition of the O. r. & L. Co.,
continued Mr.. Dillingham;, to build
three new wharves ait the west side OF
the flarbor, contains certain modifica-
tiOns Vf the plans approved by the
Federal Government for the improve
ment OF docking facilities. The whole
proposition will undoubtedly be submit
ted to the Home Government, and, as
the scheme will increase the harbor ac-
cOmmOdatiOns to at least twice Its
present capacity, it rs not unlikely that
Ihe plans will be carried out.

STAMP YOUR OWN CHECKS.
Banks Must Return Unstamped Checks
to AIakers


1t would surprise one to know how
many checks without the necessary rev.
enue stamp on them come into the banks.
Hitherto the custom has been for the
banks to put on the stamps and charge
them up to customers.
But you can't do that any more; the
commissioner of internal revenue SAYS so.
1t is no longer case of may, but case
of "must". Here is the ruling which
must be followed hereafter:
You are advised that banks have no author
ity to ahix stamps to unstamped checks pre-
sented and should return to the drawer any un-
stamped check presented for payment. The in
struction contained in treasury decision No.
1906, under date of June 20, 1899, to the effect
that there was no objection to the requisite
stamp to an unstamped check presented for
payment, has been revoked. This instruction
was given to meet emergency Immediately
preceding the taking effect of the stamp act of
July !, 1898, and In order to obviate the neces.
sity of returning by the banks these unstamped
checks Issued by drawers in ignorance of the
law. The law being now generally understood,
there is no further need of such permission.
"In relation to the stamping of drafts, notes
and other taxable instruments generally, you
are advised that all taxable instruments should
be stamped by the person or persons who make,
sign, or issue them. Unuer Sec. of the act of
June ID, ISIS, 1t is an ofense punishable by fine
of 800 for any person to make, sign or issue
any check or other instrument requiring a stamp
without first stamping the issue.
"ln the event of removal by death of the
maker of unstamped instrument, any party
interested in such unstambed instrument may
have same made valid in accordance with the
provisions of Sec. 10 of the act of June II, 1898,
In connection with Sec. 1922 of the revised
statu es."
The decision revoking treasury decision
No. 1906 of June 29, 1898, was rendered
in consequence of a complaint made from
Ohio that certain bank, as an advertise
ment. did not require customers to stamp
their checks.
