With an orchestra of it's own and with specialties that arouse applause. Uncle Si Haskins, four-act rural comedy drama, termed a companion play to the Old Homestead, opened an engagement at the Lyceum Theater last night. Uncle Si Haskins is a rural show that differs slightly from the average country drama The jokes are of later vintage than common and the characters are of different stamp. Among the best enjoyed specialties last night was the whist ling turn of Loris Smythe, "Tommy" by Eddie Jackson, and the rendition of Yankee Doodle Girl'' by Kittie Faye Young. A number of pleasing numbers were rendered by the or chestra, among them being selections from the best known comic operas St. Joseph, Missouri Gazette.

To Delinquent Subscribers.

Dear Sir:-It is with regret that we feel It necessary to again take up space in our columns to address you on the subject of paying us for your subscrip- ton; but the dollar or two you owe us, altho perhaps of no great conse- quence toyou, when multiplied by the number of others who owe us, amounts to a sum too considerable for us to fail to collect. Let us urge you to consider this as ''debt of honor" and pay it promptly without waiting for further reminders or urging on our part.
 We again take occasion to say that towards each of our subscribers and readers we entertain feeling of per sonal friendship, which We 10th to mar by reason of contentious regarding our business relations. We ask you to meet us half way in this spirit of dem- ocratic friendship, and to hell us main- tain our mutual good will by wiping out the small debt you have allowed to grow against you. We believe we have been generous in our manner of extending you credit, that we have been courteous in calling your atten- tion to your small delinquency, and feel convinced that THIS TIME you will not overlook our reminder, but WILL REMIT.
 We extend you our thanks in ad- vance for this remittance, and assure you that we appreciate your patronage and support. Our greatest worry is to make paper that will inform you and meet with your approval.

Fluid resins or oils from several diff
ferent trees are extensively used in the
Philippines as varnishes. One OF them,
called oil of supa. is a pale yellow
liquid when fresh, but It becomes dark
and viscous after contact with the
air. Spread in thin layer it dries
slowly and forms hard varnish. 1t
is. also capable of being burned in a
lamp. Another natural vsrnish is ba-
lao. also called oil Of apitong. 1t is
white when fresh, but darkens after
exposure and makes very tough
varnish. Oil OF panao is third vari-
ETY., inferior to the others In its drying
properties. Chemical analysis has
shown that all these wood oils consist
entirely Of hydrocarbons known as ses-
qulterpenes.

The Anti Pass
| Movement.

The movement, which has been APP
parent for some time in all lines OF
commercial and industrial endeavor,
toward abolishing the free list, which
is nothing more or less than a species
of graft, has reached the telegraph
companies and the Postal Company
has just announced that all franks will
be recalled on January 1. This is
move in the right direction and is
! in line with public sentiment in all
sections Of the country.
! In recent issue the Mobile Regis
ter took strong position relative to
the pass evil, all of which The Jour
nal endorses. The Registers views
upon the subject are as follows:
Telegraph franks are about to be
abolished by the telegraph companies
Good We do not see what such a
/ frank is for but to influence business
in favor of the company granting it.
| 1t is a drawback, rebate, or special in
ductment, issued with the hope of get
ung trade while prOfessedly holding
rigidly to rates. There are some
passes granted for courtesy, of course
but not many passes are of that sort
The most are to persons who have
large custom to dispose of to the tele
graph companies. 1t will be well t
put stop to the issuing of these
franks or passes.
Railroad passes are coming to ar
end, also. That, too, is good. A pas.
is for Iavor to come or some ser
vice to be rendered. 1t will be better
for the railroads to pay cash Tor these
things, and better for the service i
all persons not actually in railroad
employment pay cash for transporta
ton. II the people who have beer
riding on passes pay fare hereafter
the passenger rate per mile can be re
; duced materially.
/, Why not extend the reform wave
and let it overwhelm street car passes
as well? Such passes are at the ex
pense of the people who pay fare
Why should a city or county alicia
ride free on the street car? VIVA
reason is there for letting a newspa
per reporter ride free? An exception
for policemen and flremen, would b,
reasonable, These men rquire to b
transported quickly, and also they ar,
protectors of the company's property
; Professional workers for charity like
wise should be given the courtesy
ALI other people should pay fare.
The anti-pass movement Is growiDe
, and already is has exceeded the limi
, that seemed possible short Will
ago. Maybe we shall see it do ava,

Famous Decision
