SUBSTITUTION.

Please listen to a short talk upon a
most vitality important subject-one
which is greatly disturbing the bust
ness world to-day.
You have doubtless heard of the
word substitution" You have prob
ably read that Substitution is fraud"
Tack that saying firmly in your mind
and keep it there. 1t is worth some
thing. 1t is true-almost invariably.
You call at store and ask for an
article of a certain brand or manufac-
ture, one which has been thoroughly
advertised for years, and which has
earned an excellent reputation. The
dealer says here's something just as
good for less money" That dealer
thereby usually tells a direct false
hood. He knows that the article
which he offers you at a lower price
is inferior, but the point is that it
yields him greater profit; hence his
desire to substitute.
You may ask if an article is superior
just because it is advertised. Yes, it
is, and here's why. The many we'll
known houses which spend millions
of dollars every year in the good pub
locations of the country are managed
by men of brains and wide business
experience, and these men know only
too well that unless an article has
merit there is absolutely no business
sense in spending good money to ad-
vertise it. 1t does not pay to adver-
tise any article of general use for a
short time only. Every advertiser
must wait some time before his adver-
Using has created the desired impress
sion and while he is waiting his goods
must have time to prove whether or
not they are good. If they are good,
they stick; if not, they do not, and if
they were not good and did not stick,
would this experienced business man
continue to spend good money adver-
Using the goods-throw good money
after bad as it were? Never! He
has too much business sense.
The average article which you see
advertised month after month in good
publications is itself good. Buy an
advertised article. 1t is the true safe
way.
When you are buying ask for what
you want and get what you ask for.
Remember! Substitution is Fraud"

FOR MUTUAL Agreement.
Operators And Miners Will Try To
Reach One.
COMMISSION STEPS ASIDE.

Scranton, Pa, Nov. 24.-The mine
workers, through their representatives,
have agreed with the mine owners to
attempt to adjust the differences ex-
listing between them outside the an
thracite coal strike commission. The
proposition was made on a compromise
basis and negotiations, it is expected,
will be at once entered upon, with
reasonable hope of settlement, with
the aid of the arbitrators. The rough
proposition which is to form the basis
of the negotiations is a 10 per cent in
crease in wages, a 9-nour day and trade
agreements between the miners and
the company by which they are en-
pIoyed.
Few persons were aware that an at
tempt would be made at an outside
settlement until it was practically in
timated by Judge Gray, the chairman
of the commission, who read a care
fully prepared announcement from the
bench" The move, one of the most
important in the whole history of the
coal strike, created mild sensation
when it became known. The surprise
was all the greater from the fact that
the numerous persons, from the presi-
dent of the United States down, and
many organizations, from the National
Civic Federation to the small boards of
trade of the mining towns, have failed
to bring the two parties together. 1t
is said it was all brought about by
both sides seeing that the proceedings
before the commission would be inter-
minable and in the intermingling of
the lawyers for both sides the outside
agreement proposition was taken up.
1t cannot be officially stated which
party made the proposition first.
The commissioners were informed of
the new turn of the affairs and ac
guessed in the proposed arrangement.
The subject did not directly come up
in the public hearing, and the adjourn
ment proposition was made ostensibly
to permit both sides to complete their
work of preparing documentary evil

BOMB FOR METHODISTS
PROF. CHARLES w. PEARSON, OF
NORTHWESTERN, A HERETO.
University Teacher Declares that
Some of the Bible Incidents Are
Incredible and Untrue.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1S.-The Record-Herald
will say tomorrow: prof. Charles w.
Pearson, of the chair of English literature
in Northwestern University, which is con-
Quoted under Methodist auspices, has
thrown a bomb into the ranks of Meth
odism in Evanston, the seat of the univer-
sity, by giving out for publication a state
ment of his belief that biblical infallibility
is a superstitious and hurtful tradition;
the biblical stories Of Christ's bringing the
dead to life. of His walking on the water
and of feeding the multitude with the
loaves and fishes are mere poetic fancies,
incredible and untrue.
Professor Pearson declares that the policy
of the Methodist Church is one Of mac
tivity. obstruction and Jesuitical silence on
the views in which the leaders and scholars
of the church have gradually come to
believe, but which are not held by the
body of the church. He says that most Of
the present teaching is evasive, and that
most of the Sunday-school teaching is al
most farcical and entirely inadequate"

REPEAT A STATEMENT.
the Muncie Man Said the Ex-
Clerk Was Craxy-Experts May
Examine Signatures.

HAVANA, Jan. 1S.-When the trial of the
cases resulting from the Cuban postof-
flee frauds was resumed in the Audiencia
Court to-day the cross-examination of c.
F. w. Neely, ex-chief of the Bureau of
Finance, was continued. Neely said that
his 20. X" on bills under the miscellan-
eous account only slgnifed that the goods
had been received None Of Rathbone's pri-
vate bills for receptions given at Ell Cerro
Havana, the witness said, were paid from
the postal funds. Neely denied telling c. NJ
Rich, his first assistant that he (Neely)
had saved Ratbone 5000 by including his
private accounts in those of the postal de-
partment. He also denied that he had en-
tered into a conspiracy with Reeves and
Rathbone to defraud, by issuing duplicate
warrants He said all the warrants were
drawn in Reeves's office. They might have
been cashed in the postoffice or in bank.
Neely was confronted with Reeves three
times. He maintained perfect composure
and evaded no questions. explaining all
transactions clearly and giving Reeves the
lie direct When Neely denied that he had
forged the names to the warrants Reeves
was put upon the stand TO reiterate the
statement previously made that either he
or Neely had forged the names. Neely
looked Reeves I'm the eye and bade him re-
peat the statement This Reeves refused
to do. Neelys lawyer then asked the court
tc appoint experts to examine the sigma
lures with the view Of discovering the
forger. The fiscal objected to this step, but
the court said it would note the request
Reeves again confronted Neely with the
statement that Neely told him when he
was departing for the United States in
September. 1899. that he was taking with
him $1,000 which he had collected on dupli-
cate warrants. The court asked Neely
what he had to say to this. and he replied
that Reeves was crazy and that he would
show TO the court that Reeves was not
with him under the circumstances related.
The court then adjourned.
