THE SWEET CLOVER PEST.

Woonsocket Herald: We have heard
that some are going to experiment
with sweet clover in this section but
we trust they will pass it up. In north
ern Illinois the highways, lanes and
all uncultivated places are one mass of
this foul smelling obnoxious weed. 1t

the same as we hear is to be done here
and in very few years had spread
over a large scope of country and was
a worse pest than the Russian thistle.
Farmers there say they would lynch

country if they knew who is was

Washington, Sept. l5.-A howl has
gone up from the retail tobacco dealers
all over the country because of the is
suance of an order from the United
States internal revenue bureau calling
for an enforcement of the law which
requires that cigars and other tobacco
products shall be offered for sale only
in the Original" package, or in other
words, in the box which contained
them when the internal revenue tax
was paid.
This order was not issued in the in
terest of the tobacco trust, as has been
claimed. for it operates against the
stores run by that corporation as much
as against the independent retailers
1t was put out by the department for
the purpose of putting stop to
fraud which was prevalent TO re-
markable extent. Hundreds of dollars
worth of domestic cigars have been
sold in large cities parading under the
colors of high grade imported stuff.
Commissioner Yerkes said:
"One of our special agents was in my
office few months ago and offered me
cigar He insisted that / take it, be-
cause, as he said, it was genuine i'm

he went on to say that large number
of high class stores are in the habit OF
filling empty imported boxes with
domestic cigars and palming them of
on the public as the real thing. This
started me to investigate the matter
and resulted in the order that is now
complained Of. The law is mandatory
and imposes heavy fine for violations
SO it is unjust to accuse this office OF
favoring any corporation by seeing
that the law is lived up to-

New York, Sept. 15.-1t is reported
on good authority that President
Roosevelt forced the Seawantkha-C Cor
inthien Yacht club to withdraw a din
ner invitation to Sir Thomas Upton
and his party and there is much talk
in yachting circles about it. The presi-
dent had been invited to attend the
clubs annual dinner on September 49,,
and an invitation had also been ex-
tended to Sir Thomas and several
members Of his party. Now it is said
Secretary Loeb has written to Colgate
Hoyt, who has charge of the arrange
ments, that if Sir Thomas or any mem
Der Of his party is present the presi-
dent cannot attend The reason given
is said to be that as the president al
ready has received Sir Thomas on the
Mayfower during the recent naval
maneuvers he did not wish to seem to
be OVERRIDING the courtesies to him.
The committee was in auandary but
the report is that the invitation TO the
Irish yachtsman has been withdrawn
None Of the officers Of the club will

Washington, Sept 15.-Secretary
Shaw arrived In Washington late Sat-
urday afternoon and short time after
ward went to the department and re-
manned there until a late hour. He de-
clined to discuss in any way the quest
ion of the present rush of certain
banks to retire their circulation in
order to take the profit on United
States bonds now deposited with the
treasury or to say whether he would
take any action in regard to it.
It was stated, however, by high
treasury official that the secretary
could not stop the retirement Of circu-
lation by withdrawing government de-
posts from national banks applying
for such retirement, because the pres
ent movement is not confined to gov
eminent depositaries alone, banks hav-
ing no government deposits being
anon gthose seeking to retire circula-
ton. 1t was thought by the same Of
fetal that should the secretary take the
action suggested to prevent govern
| ment depositaries from retiring circu-
lation banks not carrying government
| deposits would step in and avail them
selves Of the opportunity for profit by
retiring circulation. Since September
1, fifteen days, the applications to re-
tire circulation amount to $7,8000,000.
These applications cover the entire
amour which may be legally retired
during September, October and over
half Of November. The treasury Of
fetal above quoted said today that the
present situation is a complete answer
to those who have argued that the re-
moyal fthe limit Of 100000 circula-
ton which may be retired each month
would provide more elastic currency.

MERIT MAKES 1T FAMOUS.
The Only Remedy in the World Except

years expended in enc direction: to finl
a pile cure that would cure.
The results have been 4 number of
harmless and in most cases useless
Cintments, suppositories and even in

weighed in the balance of experience
and found wanting; nearly all of them
gave some relief, but nothing APP

1t is now the best known, because it's

by word of mouth, from one sufferer to
another; people who have tried every

and dangerous surgical operations
without avail have finally found that
piles can be cured without pain and
without expense practically, as the

WATERVILLE.
NEW TEAM ARRIVES.
Will Play Fairfield at New Park, This
Afternoon.

Manager Lake arrived in town, Mon

agreement and the team will meet
Fairfield, this afternoon, in place of the
old team that was released, Saturday
night. The Lowell team that will play
here is made up as follows: Merritt

lin, IS; Hafford, 3b. Grant, CT; Hook
err, If; Bushey and Cross. pitchers and
feeders. Cross will probably pitch, to-
day.
A strong effort is being made to have
COombs, Cowing, Klobedanz and Phe-
ian kept with the team and this may be
DONE although there are some strong
objections. Britt has gone to st. John
TO arrange a series of games with the
Roses and the team that has been play
ing for Waterville and as soon as this
is done the men will probably go over
to play there
Meanwhile there is lively interest in
The showing that will be made by the
new team and there promises to be one
of the largest crowds of the season out.
No one here thinks for minute that
Lowell will have any lead pipe cinch
seems to be that the teams will be very
evenly matched. Fairfield has reg
ular New England League team and is
capable of making it hot for most of
them that have been fighting for the
pennant in the league. 1t seems to be
the opinion that Lowell was not notlcl-
bly, faster than her opponents. hence
pretty fight is expected when the
team goes up against Fairfield. After
what has happened Waterville wants
her new team to go in, for blood ana
win if there is such thing as doing it.
If Waterville can win this game there
will be chance for arranging
others. as Fairfield is willing to play as
long as Waterville wants to, win or
lose. So the game. today, VIII pc for
blood with no monkey business ana IL
Fairfield wins it will be because she
plays better ball. 1t will be good
game to watch all right as 1t VIII PROD

tempting array. The chandelier, pic
lures and charter were festooned with
vines and flowers and from the center
of the arch over the stage was sus-
pended a huge bank of flowers Of great
variety and beauty. On the back of the
stage were floral designs and choice
fruit of bright color and perfect con-
dition, showing the result of Pomona
instruction and work in her allotted
sphere. y
The exercises were open to the pub
