RIVAL EYE MEASURERS.
Opticians Object 10 the Bill Giving Eye
Doctors a Monopoly.

Members Of the Optometrical Society of
the City of New York have been busy for
several days getting signatures to petitions
in which the Legislature is asked TO amend
the unity medical bill so that it will not
apply TO refracting opticians. The officers
Of the society, which Is cooperating with the
New York State Optical Association, say
that If the bill were passed in its present
form it would prohibit any person who is
not physician from prescribing eyeglasses.
The optometrists. as the refracting opti-
clans call themselves, say that as they have
sold eyeglassesfor years it would be unjust
and unconstitutional for the Legislature TO
pass a law putting them out of business for
the benefit Of the doctors. They also say
that to them rather than to the doctors Is
due the modern progress in fitting spec
tacles and eyeglasses.
When the trouble is a defect in the eye
but not disease. say the opticians, a doc

WHO PRINTS LOTTERY TICKETSr

Interstate Commerce Act.
Secret Service men have been trying for
the Iast eight or nine months to nail the
person or persons who were turning out
the tickets issued for the Honduras National
Lottery Company.
A few days ago Secret Service Agent
Flynn. in charge Of the New York district,
received word from the Federal District
Attorney at Mobile. Ala, where the 1ght
to drive the lottery people out Of business
Is being concentrated. that the Kay Printing
Company, at 90 Centre street, this city
might be worth watching. Yesterday morn
ing, armed with a search warrant based on
an affidavit from the Federal Official at
Mobile, Agents Flynn and TAFT and Marshal
Henkel took into custody Joseph W. Kay.
Jr.. the proprietor. Kay denied any knowl-
edge Of the lottery people or their printed
matter. but was held In q. 500 bail for ex-
animation Apr12 2.
Kay is charged with violation Of the inter-
state commerce act Of March, 1896, In
carrying and causing to be carried from
New York into PennsylvRniA tickets or
coupons intended to be used IN a lottery
drawing In Puerto Cortez in Honduras.
The transportation was made, according to
the affidavit Of the Federal Off cials in
Mobile. in pursuance Of a conspiracy into
which Kay enetred with Frank X. Fitz-
patrick and other persons, who are reputed
to have made fortunes in the old Louisiana
Lottery, TO violate the anti-lottary law.
According to Chief Flynn. whoever has
been printing the lottery tickets has been
so fearful Of Official interference that he
has moved the printing outfit almost every
week from town to town all over the South
and East. A clew TO the whereabouts of
the establishment was obtained on March II
when Secret Service Agent TAFT and Marshal
Henkel made a visit to the premises at 90
Canal street to search the effects Of one
Max Warstraw. Warstraw was not TO be
found, but he left enough lottery literature
behind him to give an inkling to the Mobile
officials as TO where it was being printed.

ment, reprint ing and recommittal. The
amendment provides that Pullman buffet

posed local option law. This is subterfug .
to keep the bill in committee.
Assemblyman Byram L. Winters, the

worked hard for the bill and threatens

The ready wit and fund of good

lie dinner in Framington few years
ago. There had been many speakers,
the hour waxed late, people wcro

and leaving the hall, when Mr. Elder
was called upon to respond to a

He rose, and looking around the

CHANGES colon OF EYES.
Remarkable Popularity Discovered IN
Jayanese Spider.


NJ. w. Strickland Of Singapore re-
Gently had strange experience while
sitting In a garden at Bultenzorg,
Java. Watching a captive spider re-
markable for the possession of pair
of eyes which glow like gig lamps
amid a cluster Of smaller eyes. he was
amazed to ncte that the gig lamps
slowly changed in color from brown
to grass green and back again to
brown!
Further, as II to increase his aston
lshment, the creature proceeded TO
change the color of its eyes alternate
ly, thereby exercising most uncanny
fascination over the mere man. There
was something so diabolically delib.
crate in these changes as to make
II seem that the rector took genuine
pride in the performance.
The offer of substantial reward
for other specimens of the same spe-
cies proved unavailing. but it was
instrumental in bringing to light a
second species, of grass green color
slashed with yellow, which proved in
every way as great an expert In the
gentle art of ogling as its somberly
colored relative.
So far as is known, this change in
the color of the eyes occurs only IN
certain species OF ducks, and then
only under the influence OF fear,
while In the spider world it would
appear to be almost voluntary.

JEROME IS SLOW,
But Ills Line cf Attack Leads to
Some Damaging Admissions
BY Dr. B. D. Evans.

New York. March 2.--The insanity
of adolescence, paranoia and the char

of the alienists for the defense, was

Attorney Jerome's course in question

time he seemed desirous to have DR..
Evans unqualihcdly admit that Thaw
suffered from paranoia, which is prac.
tically incurable.
Again he brought from the witness
the opinion that when Thaw. armed
himself he well knew that revolver
was an instrument for selfprotection
and when fired into human body
would produce death. Finally the
prosecutor wanted to know ir the ac-
lions Of a person Suffering from a

would be characterized by the calm,
deliberate manner which Thaw dis
played the night he shot Stanford
White.
The net result OF the day appeared
to be that Mr.. Jerome is still laying
the foundation upon which he may ask
for commission IN lunacy to Judge Of
the present mental condition of the de-
fendant. Even to the extent of great
ly fatiguing the Judge and jury, the
district attorney dwelt upon the sub.
