Cards hearing Scripttttal passages arc posted in the cars. In one of the cars, fitted in between two hotel advertisements, is a card bearing the words, "Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging, and whoso ever is deceived thereby is not wise." In the same car are the advertisements of three hotels nnd three kinds of beer and whiskey, with another brand of beer adver tised outside. In another car are these words: "Wine at last it bitcth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder." In this car were the advertisements of five hotels and brands of whiskey and beer. In still another was the warning: "Woe unto him that giveth his neighbors drink, that pttttcth the bottle to him, and maketh him drink also." In this car were five advertisements of the drink referred to. Money is being collected to keep up the fight for a year. - - Newspaper Laws- Somo RuleiThat II "Would be Well For Sub $cribors to Understand. The following rules are laid down by the Government lor the protection of newspapers : Subscribers who do not give express notice to the contrary, are considered as wishing to continue their subscrip tion. If subscribers order the discontinu ance of their periodicals, the publish ers may continue to send them until ail arrearages are paid. If subscribers move to other places without informing publishers, and pa pers are sent to the former direction, they are held responsible. The coutts have decided that re fusing to take periodicals from the of fice before moving, and leaving them uncalled for, is prima facie evidence of intentional fraud. If subscribers pay in advance they are bound to give notice to the pub lisher at the end of that time, if they do not wish to continue taking it; oth erwise the publisher is authorized to send it on, and the subscriber will be responsible until an express notice, with payment of all arrears, is sent to the publisher. It is a dangerous trick for a man to allow his subscription account to run on from year to year unpaid, and then tell the postmaster to mark "refused, ' or to send the editor a notice to dis continue the paper.
