Maryland Has Oldest Methodist
Church.

Maryland Methodism had honor con-
ferred upon it Monday when. at meet
ing Of the American Methodist Historical
Society. held in the old Stone Chapel. at
Pikesville. it was established beyond a
reasonable doubt that the Sans Creek
Church. 10 Carroll county. was the first
Methodist church in America, and that
Rev. Robert Strawbridge Of the same
county. was the FIRST Methodist minister
in this country.
New York has for a number of years
claimed this honor for her old Wesley
Chapel. on John street. They claim,
however. that the year 1866 was the date
of the erection Of their church. while the
Maryland Methodists are certain that
Methodism was originated in this state
and in Carroll county at least two years
previous to that time.

Law Governing subscriptions.

Most readers of newspapers and many
publishers ale not familiar with the la WIS
governing subscriptions. Here are the
decisions of the United States Court on
the subject They will be interesting to
publishers and many will undoubtedly be
glad of the opportunity to print them for
the benefit Of delinquent subscribers:
Subscribers who do not give express
notice to the contrary are considered as
wishing to renew their subscriptions.
II subscribers order discontinuance
of their publication the publisher may
continue to send them until all dues are
plid.
If the subscriber refuses to take the
periodical from the postofice to which
they are directed, he is responsible until
he has settled his bill and ordered the
paper discontinued
If subscribers move to other places
without informing the publisher and the
papers are sent to the former address, the
subscriber is held responsible.
The courts have held that refusing to
take periodicals from the postoffice or re-
moving and leaving them uncalied for is
prima facie evidence Of intention to de-
fraud.
iii subscribers pay in advance they are
bound to tive notice at the end of the
time. il they do not wish to continue TAX
ing it, otherwise the subscriber is respon-
sible until express notice with payment OF
all arrearages is sent to the publisher"

Mr.. David Cordill who lives at 1925
West Seventh street, in Davenport,
made the following statement:
Il suffered with kidney and bladder
trouble for some time. The pain in
my back became SO severe at times
that l could not stand up and my rest
was very much disturbed as / was
obliged to get up so often during the
night. / began using Plant Juice and
1t relieved the pain in my back at
once. My bladder trouble Is much
improved. l sleep well and am seldom

Diseased kidneys cause pain and
fever in the region of the ioins, dull
pains in the back which often extend
to the bladder and groins with a
feeling of WEAKNESS in the hips and
sometimes lead to Bright's disease and
should receive Immediate attention
Impure blood is one of the primary
causes of kidney disease. No remedy
has yet been discovered that can
equal Plant Juice for all kidney trou-
bles, il has been used in the treatment
of all known forms Of kidney diseases
and in most every case has proved it's
marvellous curative powers. For sale

CAPTAIN BARTLETT SAYS

Nome, Alaska, July 10.-Captain
Robert Bartlett of the Canadian Arctic
exploration expedition yesterday posi-
lively denied that he had sent any re-
port to the minister of marine at Otta-
wa which could be construed as in
dicating that eight men of the Karluk's
crew were missing and probably lost
Captain Bartlett said he was at a
loss to understand how the Canadian
officials obtained the information
which they gave out as coming from
him and said that as far as he knew
all the men who were on the Karluk
when she was wrecked in the Arctic
ice last February were safe on Wran-
CELL island.
Captain Bartlett yesterday cabled
the minister of marine at Ottawa ask
ing for an explanation of the state
ment that he had reported eight of the
Karluk's men lost.
