AFTER TOLL GATE RAIDERS
Governor Bradley Orders the State Militia
to Mercer County.

Lexington, KY, Jan. Stewards az
gregating $500 having failed to bring
any effect in lessening the depredations
of toll gate raiders, who for some time
have been running things in high handed
fashion in several Kentucky counties,
Governor Bradley has concluded to see
what the militia can do toward preserv-
ing order. On orders received from the
governor tonight, Company 1 Of the
Kentucky state guards left at $50
o clock on special train for Mercer
county, where, 1t is reported, mob Of
toll gate raiders, 200 strong, are planning
to make a clean sweep Of the objection

IRONING BILLIARD TABLES.
An Innovation Introduced by N Expsr
English Player.

an 1AnoSSu0n Introduced oy N Exp0F1
English Player.
On every rainy day there is additional
work for the attendants of the large
billiard parlors. Those who play the
popular three-ball game have unques-
tionably noticed how the cushions of Q
table are affected by the weather.
Particularly is this so when drizzling
rain prevails outside. 1t is then that
the cushions are found to be inactive and
slow. Ten years ago it was not thought
possible to make q billiard table fast
without an expensive overhaul, which
meant that the use of the table would
have to be temporarily dispensed with.
Now, however, 1t is possible to put q
table in first-class order in less than an
hour. An immense fat iron. well heat
ed, is used, and in the hand Of COM
petent man a few turns around the
green surface will soon take all the
moisture out of the cloth. Tho hot
fat iron is particularly serviceable on
q rainy day.
None of the old-time billiard experts
thought of the possibilities of hot
iron until John Roberts, the crack Eng
1ish cue handler, came to this country TO
play series of games with Frank Ives.
1t WAS the introduction to this country
of the fat iron, and everybody present
at the match laughed, but were aston
ished, nevertheless, when an assistant
brought out a big fat iron and handed
IL to the Briton. The iron was as hot as
the enthusiasm for Ives, and when Rob-
erts started in to navigate the heated
mass over the green table, the audience
broke into a hearty roar. II was no
ticed, however, that Roberts played az
his best immediately after he had
manipulated the iron. Roberts won
that nights string, and won it hand
somely. After the strife all the veterans
of the chalk string crowded around the

wey. He proved TO them that hot iron
when applied to cushions made them
lively. Tha: was the beginning OF the
novelty in this country.
