CHANGES OF ADDRESS.

Although the system has been long
established, there is Il surprisingly
large number Of people who do not
seem to be aware of the fact that the
postofiice department undertakes tn
assist newspaper patrons in having pa
pers that they do not want diScontin-
ued, and in changing addresses.
While in the Yorkvllc poStoffice the
other day, the attention of the reporter
was called to a brief conversation be-
tween Miss Moore, the postmaster. and
a patron. who desired to send back IN
undesired newspaper as 'refuSed. 1t
seems that the patron had merely drop
ped the newspaper back into the mail
box, and when she came again found ii
in her own box. She was naturally Il
bit exaSperatcd and explained to the

There is no ginger ale on the mar
ket, This is the statement made i'm
testimony brought out before the pure
food board at the department of aSri-
culture last week. Doctor H. w. Wi
ley, the chief chemist of the depart
ment, who was conducting the inquiry,
threw q chill into the manufacturers
assembled with the grave suggestion
that il might be necessary to eliminate
the word altogether from interStat"
commerce. The department had fOrmu-
lated series of questions as To wheth-
er the presence of capSiCum i'm ginger
ale had to be stated on the label:
whether lemon soda" and cream soda
where permissible names: whether Sar-
saparilla was a permissible name. as II
| is not SarSaparilla and whether root
, beer is to be made of roots or or some
thing else. Evidence was heard ir"ll
the bulk of the manufacturers present
that capSicum is always ar nearly al
ways used in ginger ale. The Wnoi'
morning of the session was used III
threshing out the question of whether
or not it is necessary to put red pepper
into ginger ale. and If so put. whetner
the fact ought to be stated on the iaDel
Mr., w. B. Keller of New York stated
that in many cases ginger Is not pres
ent in the concOctiOn He said that
one formula that had taken the prlHs
as the best ginger ale made in England;
contained no trace of ginger. He Sald
that If il came to a strict interpretation
Of the law, ginger ale is not ale AT all
and il would be ridiculous to eliminate
the name from the trade on that ac-
count. DR.. Wiley said that he was not
so sure but what the word ale" ought
to be eliminated. At that there was a
general shiver throughout tn" meeting,
as the manufacturers united in declar-
ing that it would be- almost impossible
to educate the public to take ginger ale
under some entirely different name.

iffs i'm bona fide damage suits. Public
sentiment can become so diSSuSted with
the damage suit industry that Il legiti-
mate damage suit would be injured by
an outraged public feeling.
The lawyers of the state would do
themselves credit. and the public at
large a real service. if they would take
some steps by which this evil can he
checked.-AndcrSOn Mail.
Although the abus" against which the
Mail complains, is quite obvious. the
right to resort t. it iS 50 deep rooted
and well that to correct it,
if correction were possible, would re-
quire a long and intcrminable fight
political. legislative and judicial As
we see it, We consider that reform along
this line is almost hopeless. But if 1t
were possible to bring about Il change.
II occurs to us that considerable i'm
movement could be had by requiring
a ruling from a common pleas judge as
a condition precedent To the filing of a
complaint. Just as no defendant can
be made to answer i'm the general SeS-
sions until he has been indicted by a
grand jury. let no complaint lie in the
court of common pleas until circuit
Judge has said that the facts are suft-
cient to constitute probable cause Of
action. 1t seems To us that such an ar
rangement would be considerable pro-
lection to the public. and since the nee
essary proceedings are only such as are
so frequently precipitated by motions
for non-suits after the plaintiffs testi-
mony is in. the suggested cnansc would
not involve great deal Of extra time
or expense. 1t is very we'll understood,
how it does not cost anything much ito
law a man or a corporations; but 1t
always costs the man or corporation
more or less to defend himself or itself,
and while probably it would not cost
plaintiff any more to go to law under
the suggested change, there would lie
some less cost and some less annoyance
to the man or corporation. who was be-
ing 'lawed" without Il reasonable
ground of complaint

in the second place, The commission

are looking after their own interest,
rather tlan to the interest Of the mills,
to Il larger extent than usual.
You know there is an antaguniSm
of long standing between the commits
sion men and the mills, the mill people
having several grievances, the most
important being tine allegation that the
commission men are too unreliable and
want too much for their services.
The depression in the yarn trade
coming hard on the heels of Il stiff fight
against the commission men. and many
of the weaker mills being in Il position
where they We're forced to sell at al

thing, the converters do not know
where the yarn they are using comes
from, and but few Of the mills know
where to find the cOnverterS who can
use their products. The situation being
the result of long and steady develop
ment, the commission people have ev-
cry advantage and there is reason to
believe that many of them are having
picnics.
THE high prices for food products
are particularly favorable for the de-
preston in the cotton goods trade.

disfranchisement of the negro in all
state and municipal elections In Mary
land, were passed by the Maryland
senate last Friday. These bills now

assured because Of the large Demo-
cratic majority in that body. 1t Is not
proposed to attempt to prevent negroes
voting at congressional or presidential
elections, the restriction applying only
to state and municipal balloting. The
original draft of the plan was amended
by the insertion of clause by which
negroes owning property assessed at
$500 may vote, providing they were
possessed Of property thus valued two
years in advance of their registration
1t is proposed to repeal the present
registration law; to have new sener-

spring elections in Baltimore, carrying
forward those elections until The state
election in the November following. Be-

WITHIN THE TOWN.

Beginning last Friday, a number OF
Yorkville merchants will close their
places of business at 6 o'clock in the
evening, Saturdays excepted, until Sep
tember 1st.
ALL Of the young people are talking
about the continuous vaudeville enter
tainment to be given in the graded
school auditorium next Friday night,
and all who are acquainted with the
programme, and the manner in when
II Is to be rendered, are agreed that 1t
is to be an event in the history of local
amateur productions.
The Diocese for April: 1t becomes
my great pleasure to acquaint the read
ers of the Diocese with the recent i'm
provements and additions and activ-
tiles within the parish of the Church OF
the Good Shepherd, Yorkville. The in
corporation of The Church Home has
added numbers and life to the parish,
greatly increasing the Sunday school,
and drawing upon the healthy sympa-
thy of the parish, and the generous
community of Yorkville, of which II Is
now part. Our rector, the Rev. Y.
Tracy Walsh-tho' almost ubiquitous,
so numerous are the places he is called
upon to fills adequately meeting the
demands. We have services every sun
day with the full strength Of the con-
gregation in evidence, and always
thoroughly well prepared and able SER
mon is our portion. To the enterprise
and energy of Mr.. Walsh, we owe the
installation of the beautiful pipe organ
in the church, last December. 1t is
one manual, but with a divided key
board and so the effect Of two manuals
is obtained. 1t cost only $3.50 and Is
very powerful and beautiful in tone.
Prof. de Launay of Columbia, gave
beautiful recital shortly after the organ
was installed, and on that occasion, its
full scope and power were recognized
by others than the knowing ones"
The vested choir. also an acquisition of
the year is being most successfully
trained by the rector; and to the old
and faithful sweet singers Of Israel.
others have been added, thus making
our beautiful choral service very full
ard effective. Through the efforts of
the vestry and congregation, electric
lights nave been placed most attrac-
lively throughout the church, and
through the same source, Il bungalow
was erected for the occupancy of the
rector and his family last April; the
lease of the rcctory not then having eX-
pired. Since January, however, the rec
tory has been occupied by Mr.. and Mrs.
Walsh, and tine bungalow" is a source
of revenue to the parish. Th" parish
tho small is energetic and faithful.
and with the increased congregation
from the Church Home, we are taking
on new life and are looking forward to
a very bright and happy Easter. The
lenten services have been instructive
and helpful. So that in the spirit of the
beautiful cantata, "The Resurrection"
which the choir Is preparing for our
Easter service We should as a parish,
feel the resurrection of "our dead selves
To higher things"

FORMER President Roosevelt and the
Pope of Rome, have gotten into httle
tangle that has made somewhat "i
sensation throughout the world. Some
weeks ago, former Vice President Fair-
banks was visiting in Rome, and made
an address To the Methodists of the city,
before filling an appointment he haa
previously made for an audience WIN
the pope. The McthodiSts of Rome are
prosecuting a warm campaign against
the vatican, and there is much rahc"r
and feeling on both sides. Because ol
Mr.. Fairbanks address to the Metn"-
distS, of which he is one, Pop" PluS
declared the audience off and that rails
ed tremendous row. Before h" left
Alexandria, Mr.. Roosevelt instructed
the American ambassador 1T Rome |"
arrange an audience for him with the
pope. The papal secretary Of state was
perfectly agreeable, but undertook t"
stipulate in effect, that Mr.. Roosevelt
must agree beforehand not Ia 80 out
from the vatican and address some Of
the Protestant bodies The reason Civ
en- was that the pope desired To avoid
a repetition of the Fairbanks incident.
Mr.. Roosevelt declined to make amy
promises as to what he would do, re-
serving the right to conduct himself rs
he might sec proper, both brfor" ana
after the audience. the papal secretary
of state would not civ" in with regard
to the matter and Mr.. Roosevelt deter
mined to forcgo the pleasure of his
proposed audience with the pupr. The
matter is now being discussed through
out the civilized world. and the pre-
pUndcrating sentiment seems to be
that the papal secretary, Cardinal
Merry del Val, has made Il tremendous
blunder in assuming what is generally
conceded to be- Il very small and mar
row attitude toward one of the most
distinguished men of the time. Mr.
Roosevelt very much regrets the whole
incident, and has expressed the hope
that his friends and the Catholics will
let it drop.

margin, we would have known what to
do. That is. we would have sent the
publishers card, explaining that the
paper was not wanted and advising i'm
mediate discontinuance."
But where there is so much lack Of
information on this same subject on
the part even of fourth class pOStmas-
ters and rural delivery carriers. ignnr-
ance among the patrons should not be
surprising. There are scores of car
riers and small pOstmasters throughout
the country. who not know that it H.
their business to look after the chang
ing of the addresses of newspapers for
their patrons or of having papers dis
continued.
The government provides special
cards for both purposes. Tine cards
are printed i'm outline and there is
nothing for the postmaster to do but
to fill in names. For instance. one Of
the cards known as form 1,52S reads:
structions from the postmaster gener-
al. beg leave to inform you that your
paper addressed To is not taken
out, but remains dead in this office.
You will please discontinue the same"
The other, known as form No, 1858
reads: Your publication addressed to
- at should be addressed
-- to ensure prompt delivery"
Every postmaster should have a
stock of these cards on hands; especial
ly as they may be procured merely By
making requisition for them, and they
go through the mails free of cost for
postage. The department recognizes
the right of patrons to have addresses
changed and undesired papers discon-
| tinued free of cost. and patrons should
always apply to the postmaster or ru-
raj route carriers, when they want such
changes made.
