scME INTERESTING DECISIONS AY UNITED
STATES SUPREME COURT AS TO THE
LIABILITY OF SUBSCRIBERS.

/. If subscribers order the discon-
tinuance of their periodicals, the pub
Usher may continue to send same until
all arrearages are paid.
2. If subscribers refuse to take
their periodicals from the postofice to
which they are addressed, they are re-
sponsible until they Lave settled their
bills and ordered the paper Ter other
periodically discontinued.
3 If subscribers move to other
PAGES without informing the publisher,
and the papers are sent to the former
address, subscribers are responsible.
4 The Court has decided that re-
fusing to take periodicals from the

them uncalled for, is prima facie evi-
dence of intentional fraud.
5. If subscribers pay in advance,
they are bound to give notice 1t the
end of the time if they do not wish to
continue the periodical; otherwise the
publisher is authorized to continue
sending it and the subscriber is respon-
.sible until an cypress notice, with pay
ment Of all arrearages, is sent to the
