NO PAPER NEXT WEDNESDAY.
(11 order to give The News'
loree an opportunity to celebrate
Christmas, no paper will be
printed next Wednesday. The
News, however, will appear as ,
usual on Saturday following.
The men engaged on this paper
have certainly earned a respile,
though brief, from their
trduous labors. The public
knows but little of the dilliculties
with which they have had to
contend since the paper was established
three months ago. In 1
addition to the troubles usually
muiuem 10 me starting ot a new
enterprise, every person connect
?d with The News hat hail to
work both night and day in order
to get the paper out on time,
twice a week, and to keep in
operation the large job-work department.
The necessity lor so
much extra work has been due to
the tact that the business of The
News is growing so rapidly that it
'aas been impossible to secure additional
help fast enough to keep
puce with its development.
Newspaper men however?
iioin editors to devils?if they 1
rib any account at all, are used
to hard work and do not mind it.
In fact, they rather like it, but |
when Christmas comes they are
just as eager as other mortals to
participate in its iestivities. And f
we know of no set of men more
<fe3erving of a "good time" next
week than the business manager ,
and the compositors of The News,
who have all labored so faithlully
and zealously to make the
jM&perthe success that it is today.
IMPORTANT DISPENSARY DECI- 1
SION.
The Supreme court rendered an !
important decision a tew days ago (
in relation to the transportation 1
el liquors into this state, under {
the dispensary law. The opinion
was wrtten by Associate Justice '
l^n B. Jones, and it makes clear ?
* point that has long been in (
dispute: whether or not the law '
of interstate commerce protects a
f irfy bringing liquor into the a'ate
when he knows that it is (
intended for an unlawful purpose. *
The facts in the case decided 1
were that a party's wagon and t
mules were seized by a constable
who claimed that the property wt

A RARE TREAT--A JAPANESE T
LECTURE IN LANCASTER
On Saturday, Dec. 30, Re

address, "Japan for Christ.
For those who go to hear th
Japanese convert to cbristianit;
a very genuine treat awaits then
Mr. Sakakibara has bee
studying in America about tot
years now, and expects to spin
two more years in study beloi

his mission. At present, he

Though a foreign tongue, fl
hlnglish language flows 11101
readily from his Japanese rniti
and heart than from the lips*
many of our public speaker
The quaint poetic spirit ol liij
pon clothes his thoughts in lai
image as pleasing as it is line:
pected. There is of course son
slight accent in his speech, bi
anly enough to add a charm I
Ins diction.
But the most marked charac
ristic of Mr. Sakakibara is Hi
levout reverence and heart-who]
piety of the newly converte
christian.
