O’BRIEN TAKES RESERVE RULE INTO BAY STATE COURT. Lowell, Mass., Dec. 10—Michael S. O’Brien of Lawrence has secured a temporary injunction against the transfer of the franchise, of the Lewoll Baseball Association of the New Eng land League, or the sale by Alexander Bannwort of his shares in the same. Tills was secured on a bill in equity brought by O’Brien a.gainst Bramwort and the Lowell Baseball Association, claiming that he was engaged to plav professional basfball with the Lowell club in 19(77 at $175 per month, and that in September of that year he was re served, under the rules, which pre vented him from playing in any. other club, and that Rranmvort then entered him $100 a month, which lie declined to accept, and asked for his release, which was refused. Later the Lowell Association was in corporated, and he again refused to pkay except at the original price, and when asked for his release it was re fused unless he paid $150 for it; and they notified him that he was reserved for lft09, which would prevent his play ing elsewhere. The case will be heard on its merits in January and will raise the entire question of the right to en force the reserve rule. OLD ROMAN JOLLIES NIG CLARK INTO FEELING GOOD.

I’ve bought a pool room in Herron Hill, and am managing it to put in the time. I am getting along all right, too." BERWICK ACADEMY IS CHAMP OF MAINE. PREP SCHOOLo. South Berwick, Me. Dec. 10. The Berwick Academy football team has been awarded the preparatory school championship of the State by the au thorities who have been investigating the records of the different teams.

Two Big Leagues Are on The Best of Terms. National Will Hold Spring Ses sional American's Quarters. American League Transacts lm* portant Business and Adjourns. New York, Dee. 10.—A novel feature of today’s baseball league sessions, which closed the American League’s annual meeting and left enough work for the National League to keep it busy not longer than tomorrow, was a joint meeting of these two organizations. It was at the suggestion of President Ban Johnson of the American League, agreed to by all the members, that the rivals for the favor of enthusiasts of the national sport exchanged felicita tions at the meeting place of the Na tional League in the Waldorf-Astoria. All the members of the American League were represented, and all of the National League, excepting New York, which has not appeared at any of the sessions. It was explained by the spokesman of the visiting leagues that the meeting had no specilic purpose other than that of harmony and fostering a spit it of closer identity and co-operation. Rep resentatives of eight American clubs spoke, and the presidents of seven Na tional League clubs responded. Presi dent Pulliam of the National League •said that since the American League 1 had departed from a time honored cus tom by holding its annual meeting here the National League would reciprocate by holding the spring schedule-making session at the American headquarters in Chicago. The day was a busy one. At the morning session the American League adopted a rule governing pre liminary practice. To this 40 minutes is to bo given before each game; 30 min utes to the visiting team exclusively, and 10 to the home team solely. Um pires are to have charge of the field during this time to enforce the rule. Umpires are to be instructed that run ners on balls thrown into the bleachers are to be given an additional base in stead of being allowed to go all the way home. Score card abuses were discussed and it was arranged that each club is to maintain a large bulletin board be side tne field score board, giving the halting order accurately and indicat ing all changes as they are made. C. \V. Somers of Cleveland was re-elected vice president and the board of direc tors was made to comprise the presi dents of the Detroit, St. Louis, Phila delphia and Washington clubs. The National League voted to com plete a fund for the erection of a mon ument to the memory of tiie late Henry Chadwick, “The father of American baseball,” and to provide for perpetual care of tiie plot in which he is buried. Resolutions were adopted in memory of Prank DeHaas Robinson, lor many t cars identified with the league. Other business done by the National League was the appointment of com r it tees. Messrs. Ebbets, Dreyruss and Pulliam wire chosen the committee on schedule: the committee on consttUi ion consists of Messrs. Herrmann, Locke and Dovey; and the committee in playing rules of Messrs. Pulliam, Murray and Heidler, llie secretary of die National League. Mr. Heidler was selected for the vacancy caused by Frank Chance’s retirement. BOXING NOTES. Johnny Murpliy„ the clever Califor nia boxer, is coming East for bouts. Jeff Doherty and Paddy Sullivan will meet in New Haven next Monday night.

Legislatures Will Have to Increase Moth Appropriations. Boston. Dec. 10.—That the gypsy and browntail moths are more than ever a menace to trees and shrubbery In Maine and New Hampshire and that few people realize the seriousness of the. situation were the statements made today to D. M. Rogers, special field agent of the federal government by Capt. K. E. Philbrook of Portland, the special agent for Maine and Col. Thom as H. Dearborn of Dover, the agent for New Hampshire. Capt. Philbrook stated that the worst infested spot found in Maine was in York, where several hundred thousand feet of sawed lumber was found to contain 3000 gypsy moth egg clusters. The lumber was awaiting shipment to Rhode Island and Connecticut and had it been allowed to go the dreaded moth would undoubtedly have found lodge ment in those states. The two agents were of the opinion that the Legislatures of Maine and New Hampshire would have to in crease the appropriations for moth work. BELFAST. Brilliant Reception to Rev. and Mrs. A. G.

Sold l)p Train, Rob Mail Gar and Get Away. Fireman's Presence ef Mind Saves the Express Car. nobbersTake Possession of Engine And Use It to Escape. Spokane. Wash.. Dec. 10.—Three men neltl up Great Northern Train No. 4 a nile and a half east of Hillyard, this state, at an early hour tills morning, md robbed the mail car and made their ■scape. Only the presence of nnnd of W. Perrin, the fireman, prevented the noting of the express ear, which car ried a large amount of money, includ ng $211,000 consigned from a Spokane bank to a Montana town. The train had slowed down In the ,ard at Hillyard, when three men, all irmed with revolvers, crawled over the render and covering the engineer and i reman, ordered the train to be wrought to a stop a little over a mile from the station. The engineman obey ’d and when tile train had come to a standstill the bandits forced the en gineer and fireman to leave the cab. While two of the robbers stood guard ver the engineer, the other took Fire ■aan Perrin hack to uncouple the mail md express tars from the rest of the rrain. In the darkness the bandit failed :o note that the first ear was the mail, while tile second was the baggage and die express ear which contained the lesirod booty was third in the train. Perrin saw this mistake and quickly [.'■king advantage of it in spite of the menacing revolver at his head, cut Llio mail and baggage cars away, loav ng the express attached to the dead [rain. The robbers then left the engineer and fireman with the train and beard ’d the locomotive and themselves ran it several miles east, where they brought it to a stop, rifled the mail bar, then again boarded the engine, nn ’oupling it from the cars which they left on the track and proceeded three miles to Mead. There a rig was waiting for them and they made their escape. Mead is only 10 miles from Spokane md it is supposed that the bandits were on their way to Spokane. The iinount of their booty is unknown.

(FROM NEW YORK WORLD APRIL 15, '081 FOUGHT HARD TO RETAIN FORMULAJHAT MADE MONEY Court Decision Finally Gives Westerner Permanent Right To Remarkable Medicine. L. T. Cooper, who believes that stomach trouble causes ninety per cent of the ill health of the present generation, has been in New York three weeks. His claims are now ad mitted by an astonishing number of New Yorkers, and the young man is winning new adherents every day. Cooper stated Tuesday that 50,000 people in New York city alone are now trying his medicine. An hour spent at the young man’s headquar ters where he is meeting the public, would Indicate this statement to be correct, judging from the numbers who call in that length of time. In speaking of his success, recently, Cooper said: "I believed ten years ago that any one who could produce a formula that would regulate the stonir ach would have a fortune. When I got hold of this formula I knew within a month I was right and my fortune was made. I called the medicine Cooper’s New Discovery, although I did not get up the formula. I have owned it, however, for three years. I have had one law suit over it, which I won in the Cincinnati courts. When it was settled The Cooper Medicine Company, of Dayton, Ohio, became the only company in the world that can prepare the medicine. The medicine has sold like wild (ire wherever intro duced. I knew it would be just as successful in New York as it was in the West. That is why 1 said, when 1 first arrived, that thousands would buy it before I left.” Statements obtained Tuesday from a number *>f Cooper's callers who have tried the medicine are very strong. Among them Mr. Oscar Danner, of 73 Nelson street, Brooklyn, was spec ially emphatic. He said: "I am a well man after four years' constant in digestion and stomach trouble. Any one who has ever had indigestion knows what this means. I don't think anything about this Cooper Medicine— I know. 1 know it hits made life a different thing for me. I don't believe Cooper ever had a more skeptical man taking his medicine than I was when f started, because 1 had tried everything on the face Of the globe trying to get. relief. I actually rcfusoil to believe the medicine was helping me the first few days. I had to admit it, however. Today I sleep like a log. have a. fine appetite and can eat anything. The medicine relieved the cause of my ill health almost at once.” Cooper’s New Discovery is now on sale at leading drug stores throughout the United States...It has made a wonderful record...Ask your druggist for it.

How the Stamp Originated and What It Is Doing. Augusta people are showing much interest ir. the Red Cross Christmas j stamp—the stamp which will not carry any kind of mail hut which any kind of mail will carry. The stamps make a pi—tty decoration for Christmas let- i ter.- and packages, and every eent paid i lor one goes toward fighting tubercu losis at home in Maine. The Red Cross Christmas stamps are for sale in Augusta hv J. F. Pierce, Willis Partridge, Bowditch Webster, Pussc'l Weston. Whitman Adams, js.v'fi Turner. John Coughlin. H. J. I Merrick, George \V. Qtiimby and Thom as Buckley. Here is the story of the origin of the stamp. Iu 1004', in Denmark, the government issued a Christmas stamp, with the King’s head and the word “aul" the same as our “Yule" on it. It was not good for postage, only as a “sticker" for'Christmas letters, post cards and carnages. The proceeds front it wore to go toward building a tuberculosis hospital for little children. It succeed ed beyond all expectation, four mil 'ion 'Doing ho1«1 at an oere, or lialf-a-" cout apiece. Denmark lias continued it sine*- to maintain tuberculosis work, uni the sale lias doubled each year. America needs such a stamp, but her post office officials cannot issue or han dle it under tin present postal laws; and 1 special act of Congress would he necessary. Jacob Tteis, himself a Dane, wrote an eloquent article pub lished in the Outlook of July 6. 1907, urging government action in the mat ter. h.ut there wire too many difficul ties in tile way. It Seemed hopeless to try, but at Ibis junetion the Red Cross, whien exists for just such emergencies, took it up. The Red Cross is a great national or ganisation, with brandies in eaeli state, formed to act in times of crisis and to render aid in war, pestilence and famine. Tuberculosis, the great White Plague, is the most terrible pes tilence in the known world, claiming one death out of every seven. The Red Cross has taken up tuberculosis work, therefore, as part of its “peace activ ity." The present time is one of crisis in the wwr against consumption. Kaclt state needs education and awakening in the subject, and money far the work. The Red Cross, therefore, with tlic approval of the postal authorities, took up the Christmas stamp last Ch’-islmas. and tried it in one state. This was the little state of Delaware _ven’ small, very conservative, not given to enthusiasms, and having only a few shacks in a woodland meadow 'opar Wilmington as a tuberculosis hos pital The state as a whole was igno rant and uninterested on the subject, vet tin stamp, printed and put on the market only IS day s before Christmas, amazed everyone by its sensational recc 'd. Fifty thousand had been print ed to sell at one cent apiece. They went in e week, and then the stamp got into Philadelphia, where the Pennsylvania Red Cross welcomed it and backed it, end tbo vortb American gave it splen did aid. The P lawarc schools sold It, tin- Women's Chilis in Delaware took it up, the newspapers save columns to it, the department stores, banks, drug stores and hotels sold it. It was sold in the corridors of the Wilmington Federal laiikling. by permission from the government, though not the post office itself. The presses in the last few .lavs before Christmas .ran night ard day to supply the demand. Peo ple used tile stamps on packages and letters, and business firms on tlieir cor respondence. Nearly 400,000 were sold, and nearly $;:000 cleared from this small, unobtrusive penny stamp. With this money the Delaware Red Cross first brought an educational anti tuberculosis exhibit to Delaware, which was visited by 20,000 people in 10 days. The clubs, granges, city boards, teach ers, clergymen, labor unions, state offi cials, were all specially invited on spe cial days, and the whole state was waked up. A nurse was sent to the Sanitarium, and a free dispensary sup plied with milk and eggs, drugs, and a visiting nurse for the consumptive i poor, and this has gone on all year One thousand dollars has been set aside as a nucleus toward building a hospi tal. Delaware is now decidedly inter ested in tuberculosis work, and all this was done ia 18 days, by ft penny stamp. The American National Red Cross, this year, has decided to issue the Christinas stamp in every state. A beautiful stamp has been especially de signed by Howard Pyle, a famous art ist. It bears a wreath of holly, and "Men-’- Christmas and Happy New Year. It will be on sale at the Red Cross headouarters, Washington, I). C.. and in each state, and it can also be obtained from local dealers in almost every town. It will be sold in sheets, like an ordinary stamp, and also in small books I727S366. It is apparently a platinum print and is printed on genuine paper, the counter feiters apparently bleaching parts of a M i ill to obtain the material upon which to engrave the larger bill. The interesting fat t develops in connection willi tlie silver dollars that they are of the right alloy of metal and contain as much silver as the genuine, being made of Mexican and f-'ontli American coins, wlticl were probably purchased by the count* rfeiters for about in cents each and th. n r* minted. They have the right ring and are fairly well executed, and arc calculated to deceive almost anyone in the hurry of business. AMUSEMENTS. New Pictures at Opera House Today.
