school children. DR.. E. K. Graham,

that much good will be done By

their children to obey the teachers,
and this should be done in its full
est sense, and wheE parents are
with the teachers then teaching
children isn't such a hard job. Ala

: the duty ofesery citizen to help
in every way possible to build up

@.-It became known here today
that w. r. Hearst is planning to
seize the Democratic state con-
ventiOn by force and to compel
il to indOFse his nomination for
governor by his own independ-

Following the threats of the
Hearst men to defeat Democrat
ic candidates wherever the
Democratic. voters refuse to ac-
cept Hearst, the announcement
that he intends to disregard the
will of the Democratic electors
es expressed in the convention
and to use force in getting the
Endorsement that he cOvets, has
caused a sensation in West
chester county. The Democrats
here look upon his proposal to
throw the regularly elected dele
gates out of their own cOnven-
tiOn and to substitutu men of
his own in their places as a high
handed proceeding which falls
short of being revolutionary.

for nearly a million dollars of
the funds of the Presbyterian
church and holding $500. 900 Of
the money of the city Of Phila-
delphia and s175, 900 of state de-
pOsits, today closed it's doors.
The failure was caused by heavy
loans made by the late president,
Frank K. Nipple, to Adolph
Segal, promoter, ON insufficient
securities. A desperate effort
was made to save the institu-
tiOn by the board of directors
through an appeal to the clear
ing house association. but that
body declined to subscribe q
a guarantee fund OF 1000, 600
because of insufficient security.
The liabilities are placed at &1O,-
600, 900, with quick assets of 3d.
800, 900 and doubtful collateral
amounting to 5000, 900.
Philadelphia, Pa, Aug. 29.-

today took charge of the affairs
of the Real Estate Trust Com
pany which yesterday failed be-
cause of the loans made by Frank

institution, to Adolph Segal,
promoter, on insufficient security.
Until Mr.. Earle completes his IN
vestigatiOn the exact condition
of the affairs cannot be told.
The receiver, however. express
ed the belief that the trust funds
are intact.
John H. Converse, a director
of the company and one 6f the
FOREMOST Presbyterian laymen in
the country, upon whose petition
the receiver was appointed, to-
day said he was satisfied the
securities of the various Pres
byterian church boards, are safe.

which Mr.. Nipple was treasurer,
today elected the Fidelity Trust
Company as his successor and
through that concern learned
that the institutions securities, |

papers's Railway Contracts.

A newspaper may exchange
advertising space for q suit of
clothes but not for railway trans
pOrtatiOn.
This is a pretty come off.
What will the poor country edit
or do now, remain ut home?
The railways will not use SO
much of the advertising space Of
country newspapers any more.
This makes it better for the big
dailies and works . real hard
ship on the country weekly.
The big dailes have always sold
their. space to railways for a
money consideration and now
they will sell more space for
more money, or less space at a
better price, ~ E
But the Hepburn Act" says
to the country weekly:
YOumust not ride on transporta-
tiOn received in exchange for ad-
vertising space.
So, hereafter when the country
editor wishes to take vacation
and visit his favOrite summer re-
sort he must buy his transpOrta-
tiOn with the cold coin or take
his vacation at home.
AS it now stands: A country
newspaper may. contract with
his local merchant to exchange
advertising space for clothing,
shoes, hats. etc., but he can not
make the same kind of contract
with . railroad for his transpor-
tatiOn.
The Hepburn Act" may be q
fine thing, but TO the average
country newspaper man it is
downright favoritism in that it
gives the big city daiIies a prize
poll to use in obtaining better
and bigger contracts from rail-
ways.

has announced that he will do away
with party" lines. giving each and ev-
cry subscriber a separate line. Mana
ger Jones said:
I'm many localities, in order to give a
cheap rate to subscribers and save the
expense of stringing 80 many lines, we
have had several residences in a neigh
borhood connected by the same line,
there being signal to indicate which
of these residences would be called.
The system has been satisfactory, but
in some instances persons curious to
know what the neighbors we're saying,
would break in on the line and listen to
their conversation These persons came
to be called Frying Toms" aud upon
investigation recently we found that
some of them actually had their phones
located so that they could take the re-
ceiver down. and, lying in bed, amuse
themselves and at the same time learn
what their neighbors were saying and
doing. On this account we have abol-
ished the system and will give each
subscriber a line"
The announcement Of Manager Jones
has caused stir and the gossips are
busy trying to identify the Frying
Toms"
