"Daily Astorian:
"Would you kindly inform us through
the columns of your paper as to whether
there is a law prohibiting the sale of
cigarettes and tobacco to minors.
"OBSERVER."
It is unlawful for any one to sell
tobacco to minors in this state which
would, of course, include cigarettes in
any form. Just what the minimum and
maximum penalty is could not be learn-,
ed, but it is reasonably heavy. The
state codes would give this. Editor.

FIRST CATCHERS MASK.
Worn by Fred Thayei in 1878 in Har
vard University Baseball Teams.
Few even of the old time Uiseball
fan could tell who it was who bad the
distinction of being the first player to
don a baseball maak. Dr. Hurry
Thatcher, of Dexter. Me., at that time
a resident of Bangor, U the man, and
the mask was invented by a Boston
man and a captain of the Harvard base
ball nine.
It was way back in the 70s that the
baseball mask wis firt invented. The
national game was a crude affair com
pared with what it is now, but the
principles of the game were about the
same and the players of those early
days realized the troubles of the man
behind the bat. At that time catchers
and firstbaseraau's mitts were unheard
of things, and those pkuers caught the
ball barehanded.
It was a few years prior to 188 that
Fred G. Thayer, of Boston, at one time
a player on the Harvard nine, realised
the necessity of a covering for the face
of the m teller in a baseball game. He
set about to see what he could do in
that way, and the result was a baseball
mask. It had its beginning then.
When Mr. Thayer bad a mask which
he thought would answer its purpose
he introduced it in the gomes which
the Harvard team was playing at that
time and of which he was captain and
third ' baseman. Harry Thatcher wus
"the man behind the bat" on Capt
Thayer's team, and it fell to him to
don the mask for the first time.
It is said that Dr. Thatcher, did not
take to the idea, for the players on the
Harvard team guyed him not a little
for wearing it, as they said it was
"babyish" and cowardly to wear a pro
tection to the face. So the doctor was
not seen often after that wearing Mr,
Thayer's invention, but instead used a
rubber mouthpiece to protect himself
fiom foul tips ami the inshoots of the
slab artist.
Shortly after Mr. Thayer got out
the first sample of his invention, L,
Spaulding saw the possibilities of the
Thayer invention end sought to get
control of it. Finally the matter came
to a head in a lawsuit over who had
a ngnt to tne patent, f inally, Febr
uary 12, 1878, Mr. Spaulding was grant
ed a patent. Oakland Tribune.

PIONEER 'STOCK OF
CLATSOP.
FAMOUS DUTCH BELTED CATTLE TO
BE FIRST REPRESENTATIVES OF
HERD FROM THE COUNTY FOR EX
HIBITION AT SALEM.
0. 1. PeU'isou's famous Dutch Belted
cattle, from the Sunflower Dairy, nvv
miles out ou the Lewi and Clark riven
were brought to Astoria yesterday for
shipment to the state fair at Salem,
which opens next Monday. Including
the handsome bull, Oyama, there are
seven in the herd, the six heifer being:
Queen of Oregon, Empress o? Suutlower.
Film. FilHt, Fondle and Fancy .
Mr. Peterson ha the distinction of be
ing the Urn exhibitor of .cattle at the
state fair in ClaUop county, and U the
pioneer of the district iu thi respect
Beside being well represented with his
Dutch Belted, he will undoubtedly cause
ken interest among the visitors to the
slate fair with hi beautiful registered
stock.
The cattle are the only specimens of
their kind in the tate, and there are
very lew 01 tnem iu iu t.
iu the east. There Is a small herd in
Washington aixl few California.
Tho- iu the eat are mostly in Pennsyl
vania, where me uuuur una tw
fr)m.
The history of the Dutch Belted
cattle date back many generations. Not
many years go the clti was held sole
ly by few 01" the royal bouses of nul
la ikI because tf their beauty and milk
giving qunlitiy. It was held to be a
crime for any of the "common people"
tc po-s them and they were guarded
with great care.
All the stock without a pure belt of
white circling them between the fore
and hind quarters, which were coal
black, were weeded out until the perfect
herd was produced, and it became fain
cus throughout Europe. Eastern men of
wealth, interested in fine stock, however,
managed to break into the "royal circle'
by means of their wealth tind secured a
few head of the stock, and it is from
these that the small herd' in America
has been produced.
The Dutch Belted, while they grow to
a considerable size, have small head
and extremities, somewhat like the
Jersey stock. But while retaining their
delicacy of appearance and beauty, they
are spirited ami hardy, being great milk
producers. Mr. Peterson is a great lover
of fine stock and his dairy farm is fitted
up in the mot modern manner. Hi
Dutch Belted is the foundation herd for
the Sunflower Dairy, which will undoubt
edly become famous because of its loca
tion in Clatsop county and because of
it stock.
WILL THIS NEVER STOP?
NEWPORT, Sept. 11. Mrs. Aurcl Ba
tonyi, formerly Mrs. Burke-Roche,
swept onto the tenuis court here carry
ing in her arms a big white spaniel,
whose neck was encircled with a high
starched collar studded with diamond
pins.
The freakish innovation created almost
as much of a furor as did Mrs. Roche
Batonyi's marriage to the horse show
whip.
The famous Casino courts were crowd
ed, all the Prince Wilhelm hostesses be
ing on hand, except Mr. Ogden Goclet,
who is said to have been too fatigued
after the recent high tension scire to
attend any functions for a while.
The white spaniel came in for almost
a much adulation as fell to Wilhelm's
lot. He was so big that Mrs. Batonyi
couldn't carry him any further than the
middle of the Casino, but the hit bad
been safely made. From this time for
ward standup collars and diamond
brooches will be the proper thing in dog
toggery. ,
The season bids fair to last longer
than any other in recent years. The
announcement that Mrs. Vanderbilt and
her daughter Gladys will remain for
several weeks has kept many in their
cottages. The Lispenard Stewarts are
booked until October. So is R. Living
ston Beeckman, and those that will go
before constitute a minority. Even some
foreign attaches who attend the Casino
tournament today announced their in
tention of remaining late "to fend off
the early fall heated term" at Wash
ington. Sale of Hand-Made Goods.
On Saturday, September the 14th, the
Ladies' Aid Society of the Norwegian
Methodist Church will hold their annual
sale of hand-made articles, consisting of
fancy goods and other useful articles,
Every body invited. 9-12-2t.
