Regard It as Connecting Them With Worldliness No Top Buggies. There is one section of Franklin county, a portion of St.

Thomas township, that is not likely to have telephone facilities, until a church rule is changed. The section referred to is largely inhabited by that sec of the Dunkard church known as the York ers or York Brethren. At the conference of this particular branch' of the church in Ohio several years ago a resolution was passed declaring it to be too nearly approach to worldliness to have telephones in the homes of the Yorkers. Therefore, the church forbade their installation. Neither do the Yorkers ride in a top buggy, this, too, being forbidden.

"It seems to me," said a complaining resident of the township who was in Chambersburg on Saturday, Hhat it no more hints of worldliness for the Yorkers to have 'phones in their homes than does the use of their neighbors' instruments and lines." The gentleman, continued: "I believe much good for the church can be done over a telephone. The best evidence of this is that nearly every minister in the county has a 'phone in his home. TROUT FINGERLINGS PLANTED THROUGH OUT STATE Many Applications From All Parts Southern Counties First. Millions of trout 'flngerlings' 'from the four State hatcheries have been "planted" in the trout streams of about fifty counties of the State by-agents of the State Fisheries department within the last two weeks Franklin county has received its apportionment. At least 6,000,000 small fish have been liberated and it is expected to run the total up to 11,000,000 before the close of the months.

The output of "flngerlings" is the largest ever known at the State hatcheries and the fish are said to be in first class condition. Thanks to the abundance, there will be little difficulty about restocking streams which were spoiled for trout fishing by the drought of last Summer. Almost 3000 applications weie made for trout this year and everyone will be filled. The southern counties were eared for first because the weather conditions were more favorable. COUNTY COMMISSIONERS TROUBLED IN WAYNESBORO Many Taxpayers Represented by Counsel at Appeal Held There.

The county commissioners with Clerk Raff were in Waynesboro Monday sitting as a board of revision to hear appeals from the assessed valuation put upon the real estate of that place. A number of property owners objected to the valuation put upon their real estate and had employed attorneys to represent them in the protest before the board. The ground of protest was the inequality of the assessment. The hoard was kept busy and the sessions proved interesting. The valuation of real estate in Waynesboro is almost doubled over the assessment of three years ago.

KINDLY WORDS Praises for Vice President Omwake Decision Commended The Doylestown Democrat in commenting on the decision of Dr.

G. L. Omwake to lemain with Ui sinus College says: The friends of Ursinus College, and there are many of them in Bucks county, will be pleased at the decision of Vice President G. L. Omwake to remain with that institution.

The offer from Pennsylvania state college to become its dean was a flattering temptation and Piofessor Omwake would have ably filled the position, but with his work at Ursinus at the zenith of its usefulness, we believe he decided wisely to remain with his alma mater for the present, even though at a pecuniary sacrifice. His work in the educational field he now occupies ha3 been conspicuous for its merit and has given his institution a high standing in the country. Ursinus is fortunate in Professor Omwake's decision. Mr. Mahon Improving Ex-Congressman Mahon will improve his property at Memorial Square and North Main street.

The most notable feature of the changes to be made will be a glass front for Miller's pharmacy.

Dr. Wright, of Pittsburgh, once in charge of the Methodist church at Rome, denied the charge of proselyting preferred against the Methodist in Rome. He declared that the work being done there was among Italians who ihad drifted away from the Roman church. He declares that the majority of funerals there were irreligious which fact indicated the need of the efforts the Methodists were making to secure converts. Rev.

J. B. Hingeley, D. of Chicago, secretary of ths Board of conference claimants, made a stirring appeal In behalf of the conference claimants of universal Methodism. During his address Dr.

Hinge-ley made the announcement that there are at tihe present'time 4,178 claimants on the funds of the general bbard. He declared that 707 of this number receive a pension of less than $50 a year, and nearly 2,000 receive $100 or less. Charges preferred against Rev. W. W.

Cadle were handed to the conference and ordered to be tried by a select number of trial. Rev. J. B. Mann was appointed to preside at the trial.

Rev. Dr. Nicholson, secretary of the Board of Educational, spoke interestingly of the educational work of the -church in the south among the poor whites, and declares that were it not for the educational work being carried on by the church among the so-called "poor white trash they would have no chance whatever.

Charles C. Kelsey withdrew from the ministry of the church. Rev. Hugh Strain was changed from supernumerary to effective, and Rev. Freeman S.

Vought, Rev. Hiles C. Pardoe from effective to superannuated. One of the amusing incidents was when Rev. John B.

Mann, of Dills-burg, told the conference that he had not taken up all the collections during the year and his failure to do so did not cause him to fear the bishop his agents, district superintendents, members of the conference or the devil. The bishop objected to Mr. Mann classifying his brethren with his satannic majesty. Trustees of Conference Rev. W.

W. Evans, Rev. J. B. Stine, Rey.

J. H. Morgan, Rev. George Leidy, Rev. E.

Reports of the society show ed that during the year a large meas ure of prosperity had attended the activities of the society. Rev. F. W. Wright, D.

formerly of Italy, now superintendent of Italian missions in the United States, delivered a stirring address touching religious conditions in Italy. He resented strongly the idea that the Methodist church has no business in Italy, and declared that the charge of malicious proselytism did not lie against the Methodist church. He declared that in this country there are thirty-five Italian Methodist ministers with 3,500 members and there are twice that number who are strongly sympathetic with the church. Rev. Dr.

P. H. Swift, of Baltimore, delivered a strong address on the subject, On the Firing Lime. For nearly an hour he discussed various aspects of the question of evangelism. He declared that the church ought not to be In a hospital hut on the field of battle.
