TRAVELLING OPTICIANS
ARE ON THE WAR PATH
May Test the Validity of the
Optometry Law.
MEETING AT INDIANAPOLIS.

Travelling opticians of the state will
hold a second general meeting, Sat
urday of next week at Indianapolis,
for a further consideration of ways
and means of attacking the constitu-
tionality of the optometry law. Ad-
dresses will be made by several at
torneys, who will discuss the validity
of the measure. 1t is expected that
state organization will be effected.
1t is said that there are several hun
dred of these travelling opticians and
that the ratio of them to the located
opticians is about four to one.
The travelling opticians are continu-
ing to complain of the optometry law,
on the ground that it is class iegisla-
ton, discriminating against them, and
in favor of located opticians. They
say that many of their number are
being driven out of the business of
travelling about in the smaller cities
and towns of the state, fitting and
selling spectacles. They say that
some of the located opticians were
responsible for the passage of the law.
They point out that the located opti-
clans who have been engaged in the
business for three years in a city or
town in the state are not required to
pass the examination that is required
of the travelling opticians, and they
say that some of the questions asked
in such an examination are of kind
that could be answered only by
skilled oculist.

4 GREAT BASEBALL SERIES,
How Boston and Providence BattIed In
the League In 1884.


Probably one OF the grandeSt series
of baseball games played by National
league clubs was that between the
Bostons and the Providence Grays in
1854. The Bostons had won the cham
pionship of 1883, and it was the am
bition of Providence cranks. who lived
only forty miles away from the Hub.
to wrest the laurels away from the
Bean Eaters. Every game that was
played between the clubs was at
tended by immense crowds, and the
excitement was at white heat
The first game of the series in 1884
was one of sixteen innings and result
ed in n tie, the score standing ! to /.
The pitchers were Charley Radbourne
and jim Whitney. and 10000 persons
saw the battle. The next day Provi-
dence won by a score of 2 to / in
nine innings, and Charley Sweeney
struck out nineteen Boston batsmen.
OF the first eight games Boston won
five and Providence three. When it
came time to meet for the four final
struggles the Providence team had
won every series from the other league
clubs and wanted to win the series
from the Bostons too. Radbourne ac-
cordingly was assigned to pitch in all
four games on four successive days.
He was in such magnificent form that
in all of the games the Bostons were
beaten and scored the sum total of one
run. One of the games lasted eleven
innings. 1t was played in Boston and
was finally won by the Rhode Island
ers by a score of / to O. Arthur Ir
win, who was the shortstop for Provi-
dence, drove a long fly toward the
right field fence, and the ball went
through hole between the boards. 1t
was a four Dagger and decided the
game.
Radbourne's wonderful pitching in
those days will never be forgotten by
those who saw him perform. He went
into the box game after game and
pitched for nineteen consecutive con-
tests. 1t was his remarkable twirling
that was instrumental in helping Prov
idence to win the pennant that year.
Sweeney jumped the club in the mid
die of the season, and Rad went
along single handed. One feat that
was the talk of the baseball world in
1888 was his pitching in an exhibition
game at Trenton. The home club
would not allow Providence to play
with the regulation league ball and in
sisted upon substituting another Of
lighter weight. Radbourne, however,
accepted the latter ball and proceeded
to strike out every man who came to
the bat until one man had been re-
tired in the sixth inning. Then play
er fouled the ball. which had not been
done before. The pitching distance
then was forty-five feet from the home
plate.

the advantage of regulating all train

President Roosevelt Is Credit
ed With Making a Flank
Movement.
REVENUE BUREAU WEAPON.
THE CHIEF Department TO
FEEL THE EFFECTS OF THE
REGULATION.

Washington, July 27.-President
Roosevelt has begun a flank attack
on the Tobacco Trust, which, it is
said, threatens to do more execution
than the direct attack in the courts.
There is more than one way to hunt an
octopus, in the belief of the president,
and the new weapons he will use will
be regulations of the internal revenue
bureau of the treasury department.
Aims at Innocent Cigarette.
One of the new regulations will pro-
vide that when cigarette dealers pay a
tax of "a cents per 1000 and upward
they must take oath that they have not
contracted and will not contract to
handle the goods of any one concern
exclusively. 1t is, moreover, the col
lector's duty to see that this agreement
is carried out.
Through exclusive contracts of the
sort claimed the American Tobacco
Company is alleged to have largely
built up it's control of the cigarette
trade.
Another new regulation is designed
to prevent differentiation for internal
revenue purposes. The tax is "a cents
for cigarettes which sell for not more
than 81 per thousand, and double that
amount for cigarettes selling from 50
to 81.
Finds a LoophoIe.
1t is alleged that the company has
been getting around this by selling to
subsidiary distributing concerns at a
figure a little below 81. The subsidi-
airy concerns then sell to the retail
trade at figure which results in the
cigarettes bringing in from 81 to 81
per thousand. In this way high-priced
cigarettes pay but "a cent tax.
A large share of the business of the
American Tobacco company, the head
of the trust. is in cigarettes. More
than 100000 of them were turned out
by the trust last year.

 T hope to succeed with this farm. hope our experiences won't too closely resemble that of my old friend Hora- tio Rogers. Rash Rogers lived in the suburbs. On the suburban train one morning he said to me with a sour laugh:
 I've got something nobody else has got, MT. Bigelow'
 "'Haye you, Rash?' said I. What Is it?'

COINED A BIG WORD.
Little Ono Wanted to Pick the "Un.
 derchildrenabie" Flowers.

When the first little granddaughter was big enough to want to pick the garden flowers, the grandparents tried every guileful means to save their pet posies from devastation. A truce was reached when it was agreed that Har- riet should let the garden plants alone and pick only "children's flowers" a descriptive name bestowed at once alike on dandelions, buttercups, daisies and clovers. After this there was peace in the family. One day Katherine, the newest granddaughter, was contentedly pulling grasses while grandmother shipped on blossoms from the forget-me-nots. Katherine remembered that fresh flowers had not been gathered for the dinner ta- ble. She ran over to grandmother and promptly coined one of the longest words a four-year-old ever used. Grandmother" she begged, cant pick the underchildrenable flowers for dinner?"

TRANSFORMATIONS.
Curious Results When Coffee Drinking
 Is Abandoned.

It Is almost as hard for an old coffee toper to quit the use of coffee as 1t Is Tor whisky or tobacco fiend to break on, except that the coffee user can quit coffee and take up Postum with out any feeling of loss of the morn Ing beverage, for when Postum is well boiled and served with cream, it is really better in point of flavor than most of the coffee served nowadays, ana to the taste of the connoisseur 1t IS like the flavor of fine. mild Java.
 A great transformation takes place Tn the body within ten days or two weeks after coffee is left off and fostum used, for the reason that the poison to the nerves-caffeine-has been discontinued, and in its place Is taken liquid food that contains the most powerful clements of nourish- ment.
 It is easy to make this test and prove these statements by changing rom coffee to Postum. Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. There's a Reason"
