Ministers Now Plan.

The Methodist Ministerial Asso-
oiation of Williamsport has adopted
decidedly novel scheme to counter
act the effect of hotel and liquor
advertisements in street cars. Cards
bearing Scriptural passages are
posted i'll the cars. In one of the
cars, fitted in between two hotel
advertisements, is a card bearing
the words, "Wine is a mocker,
strong drink is raging, and whose
ever is deceived thereby is not
wise" In the same car are the
advertisements of three hotels and
three kinds of beer and whiskey,
with another brand of beer adver-
tised outside. In another car are
these words: "Wine-at last it
biteth like serpent and stingeth
like an adder" III this car were
the advertisements of FIVE hotels
and brands of whiskey and beer.
In still another was the warning:
Woe unto him that giveth his
neighbors drink, that putteth the
bottle to him, and maketh him
drink also" In this car were five
advertisements Of the drink referred
to. Money is being collected to
keep up the fight for a year.

Mr.. Tower, who has been dissatisfied

DEMANDS REJECTED.
Strike Threatened on Man
haitian Elevated Road.
GRAND MASTER ARTHUR SENT FOR.
Five Hundred Engineers and Motor
men Ask For n Nine Hour Day,
Relay system and other
important Concessions.

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-Nice President
Skitt of the Manhattan Elevated rail
way gave to committee of seven that
called upon him, representing the 500
engineers and motormen of the road,
refusal of their request made two
weeks ago for nine hour day and 9th
or concessions.
When the company's reply became
known among the men, there was inn
mediate talk of a strike. The commit
tee after leaving Mr.. Skitt's office went
Mt once to a telegraph Office and sent
the following message to T. NJ. Arthur,
grand master of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers
Come at once. Everything re.
fused"
Chief jerks of division No. 105 of
the brotherhood says of the grievances:
Since the introduction of motor cars
into the service we have been COM
PEELED to make six round trips daily
between One Hundred and Twenty
ninth street and South ferry, consum-
ing ten hours and travelling on the
average 10S miles day. On the en-
gines we never made more than five
trips, and four and half was the
usual number. The company claims
that the motor cars being faster we
should be able to make the additional
trip. They also say that the strain
on us in running the electric trains is
less. The first statement may be true,
but the second is not. We are under
just as great Il strain as we were on
the engines. We are willing to make
five trips day in nine hours and no
more. We also want a relay system
that Will give each man chance to
get bite to eat and few minutes to
himself at the end of each run"
Grand Master Arthur is expected to
arrive tomorrow.

THE PoPE'S FRIAR PLAN.
Obnoxious Orders at Manila to he
Removed Quietly.

ROME, Aug. 2.-According to state.
ments obtained from reliable sources,
it is the intention of the Vatican that
the friars of the Augustinian, Domini-
can, Franciscan and Recolleto orders
now in Manila, who number about 400
men, should leave there in small num-
bers at different times, so that when
the moment comes to resume negotia-
tions between Governor Taft and the
apostolic delegation all the friars will
have left the archipelago in such n
way that the friar question will have
resolved itself without the necessity Of
further discussion.
The foregoing plan is interpreted as a
late but significant recognition by the
Vatican that Secretary of War Roots
first propositions made to the Vatican
through Governor Taft were the most
liberal that could be devised for the
settlement of the question.

This startling prophecy, it is de-

child only three months old, born in a

relating the same incident as told in

Newspaper Laws.
Some Rules That IL Would be Well For Sub
scribers to Understand.

The following rules are laid down
by the Government for the protection
of newspapers
Subscribers who do not give express
notice to the contrary, are considered
as wishing to continue their subscrip-
tion.
If subscribers order the discontinu.
ance of their periodicals, the publish.
ers may continue to send them until
all arrearages are paid.
II subscribers move to other places
without informing publishers, and pa
pers are sent to the former direction,
they are held responsible.
The courts have decided that re-
fuslng to take periodicals from the Of
fee before moving, and leaving them
uncalled for, is prima facie evidence OF
intentional fraud.
If subscribers pay in advance they
are bound to give notice to the pub.
Usher at the end of that time, if they
do not wish to continue taking II; 9TH
erwise the publisher is authorized TO
send it on, and the subscriber will be
responsible until an express notice,
with payment of all arrears, is sent to
the publisher.
1t is a dangerous trick for a man to
allow his subscription account to run
on from year to year unpaid, and then
tell the postmaster to mark "refused, .
or to send the editor a notice to dis
continue the paper.
