A WAY open
Many Norwich Reader Knows It Well

There is a way open to convince the
greatest skeptic. Scores of Norwich
people have made it possible. The
public statement of their experience is
proof, the like of which has never been
produced before in Norwich. Read
this case Of it given by a citizen:
Mrs. c. H. Bushnell, living at 125
Elizabeth Street, Norwich, Conn, says:
Pain in my back, which 1 attributed
to rheumatism. caused a great deal OF
suffering. especially VIXEN lying down
Damp weather always made my con-
dition worse. A year and one-half age

spite the fact that I did not take them
regularly, according to directions.

great merit. This last summer l de-
cided to. give them a better and more
thorough trial and procured a box at

SPRINGFIELD CLUB
TO NEW OWNERS.
Final Payments Made on Purchase by
Carey and cellar.

Messrs. Carey and cellar Of Spencer
are now the owners of the Springfield
baseball club. The consideration for
the franchise and stock have been
passed over to Dan O'Neil, the retiring
owner, and all negotiations that had
anything to do with the sale has been
disposed of. The lease for the Hamp-
den park ball grounds has been secur-
ed, and the papers for the transfer Of
the club have been signed by che buy
ers and the seller. Dan O'Neil is now
out of baseball ownership.
Manager Cellar has closed the deal
for two exhibitions III Worcester, April
16 and II, but as Worcester's pre-sea-
son slate is filled, that taem will not be
seen in Springfield. The Holyoke team
is also down on Worcester's list for a
game on the 21st in Worcester. The
Patriots day attraction in Springfield
will not be determined until the East
learn league decides finally on it's OPEN
ing date.
The indications are that Springfield
will play but few exhibitions. as expe-
rience has taught It is a risky business
to take chances with strong opponents
before the weather is thoroughly suit
able. Arms are very brittle in the
spring. But there will be enough
games when the Connecticut league
gets going.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
STOCK PRICES HIGHER.
Adjust Themselves to Level Of the
London Market.

New York, Feb. 15.-Prices Of stocks
underwent a rapid readjustment to-
day to the higher level of the London
market. While the New York stock
exchange was closed on Friday and
Saturday the foreign dealers were en-
gagged in marking up prices Of Aneri-
can securities. The clearing of the
political horizon abroad, the demon
strated control of the international
exchanges in favor Of London and the
recuperation Of reserves Of the Bank
Of England served to stir the dormant
speculative spirit in the London mar
ket. The subsistence Of apprehension
abroad has put a stop to the sending
home Of American securities in liquid
alton. Some demand for stocks for
foreign account has developed. Lon
don buying quite freely here today
until the rapid rise in our prices lad
wiped out the margin Of profit on ar
bitrage operations between the two
markets. The London market itself
suffered some reaction before the day
ended. owing to the swift rate Of the
recent improvements. The decision of
the New York state public service
commission authorizing the Erie bond
issue proved quite a potent influence
on the speculation. In increase in
the dividend rate on Peoples Gas
proved another influential factor in
the speculation. Following the in
auguration of dividends on Brooklyn
Transit last week this action suggest
ed the regeneration OF an organiza-
ton in the speculative market which
has been of sensational effect in the
past, Another conspicuous center Of
strength was In the southern rail-
road group, the causes being not clear
ly visible. Discussion of possible div
idend increases was heard in the cases
Of some of the stocks affected. The
trip of e. H. Hartman through the
south and the character of a publish
ed remark attributed to him, intimat-
ing his plans for large OUTLAWS for
Improvements in that railroad field
and his faith in the region were used
with effect in furthering the advance
THE important influence exerted by
the speculative improvement abroad
was shown by the subsistence Of ac-
tivity after the hour for London trad
ing had passed. By that time deal
ings had sunk back to the level of
last weeks dullness. The advance was
turned back also to some extent. The
heaviness Of the copper industrials
Couduced to this result. The figures
of stocks compiled by the newly form
ed Copper Producers association are
subjected to criticism. Another re-
duction in quotations for the metal
today in New London and in New
York weighed on the group. Insist
ent reports of cutting Of prices of steel
products and, of stagnant demand be-
came a factor in the latter stock mar
ket. Prices were marked up again
and in the final dealings in expectation
of another upward impetus for prices
from London tomorrow. BondA were
strong. Total sales, par value, &c.
$4,000. United States bonds were I'M

AMERICAN DRIVERS ARE OK.
Just as Good as Foreigners, Says
George Salzsman-His Views on
Auto Racing.

George Salzman, the famous racing
driver. in discussing American and
foreign drivers, says the Americans
are as capable as any. In an inter-
view he remarked: Look up the
records of any race and you will find
that the American drivers have just
as much nerve, good judgment and all
the qualifications that make a good
driver; but, unfortunately, in the sne-
cial racing car races their cars lack
preparation. Consequently, their fall
ure to win. l will take the liberty
Of stating right here that within the
next few years you will see our Am
erican drivers shine, just the same as
the Americans do in other branches of
sport. Take our stock car races, for
example; you will find that American
cars with American drivers have
shown absolutely that American stock
cars are superior in many respects to
the foreign cars, especially in an en-
durance contest where extremely bad
road conditions are to be met.
II believe all racing should be done
with absolutely straight stock cars
just as they are turned over to the
buying public This would not only
go to prove the best car manufactur-
ed, but would develop the automobile
as used every day to point of per-
lection. These freak racing cars do
not show anything other than terrific
speed Attire a race is over. they are
shelved until the next special event
and as no sane man would care to
drive them through our city streets,
what good are they? I firmly believe
the day for special racing cars is over,
or will be soon-especially IN Ameri-

Pat Donahue, the Boston American
catcher, says that Moriarity. the Gin

as he has ever seen. Donahue played
with him on the coast two years ago.
Joe McGinnity says he will not go
into minor league baseball except as

FASTEST NIT MEN
MEET THIS WEEK.
Abe AtteII VS.. Jem DriseoII to Go Ter
Rounds at New York.

Followers Of the boxing game get
their star event this week in the ten
round go Friday night in New York
between Abe Attell, featherweight
champion Of the world. and Jem Dris-
coll, the 126 pound champion Of Eng
land. Both men weigh in at o'clock
at 126 pounds the day Of the contest.
SO that Attell's feattherweight title
will not be at stake, but these two
marvels of cleverness with the mitts
will furnish the sports great exhibit
ton Of speed and science and every
sport with the price Will be on hand.
Abe wanted Driscon to make the
featherweight limit, which the British
err cannot do. The next day Driscoll
takes the steamer TO return to Eng
lard
Since Driscoll's arrival in this coun-
try several months ago he has boxed
on an average of about once a week
and has beaten the cream Of the light
weight class in the east. Such a trifiing
difference as ten pounds in weight does
not bother him in the least; in fact,
Attell is the first man he has met since
his arrival who did not outweigh him
by several pounds.
