Brings Racers.

NJ. S. Decker of Waikapu, well known
in sporting circles here, came down
from Maui on the Claudine yesterday
with a string of four horses which he
intends to enter in the races of the

nice little sulky so it is evident that
Decker means business. The animals
are all his and will be raced in his
name.

WANTS TIGHTER TARIFF.

The Ottawa Government VIII Try to
Abolish Reciprocity.
OTTAWA (Ontario), February 12.-It
is officially announced that the Govern
ment is going to ask Parliament to
change the customs law by abolishing
the reciprocity clause and making the
minimum tariff apply solely to Great
Britain and possibly the colonies.
This has become necessary by the
discovery that even with the German
and Belgian treaties out of the way the
present tariff would apply to nearly all
the world.

NEW FOOTBALL RULES.
Several Important Changes Made in
the Playing Regulations.

Spalding's Official Football Guide,
containing the rules for this season,
edited by Walter Camp, is out, The
rules as revised and changed by the
rules committee of the University
Athletic club, stand almost as they
did last year except in the matter of
scoring.
Under the new rules a touchdown
counts 5, goal from touchdown l,
goal from field 5, and safety 2, the
changes being in the value Of the
touchdown, formerly counting 4, and
the resulting goal formerly ..
Two important changes that will
put stop to much unnecessary
wrangling are those relating to the
ball. 1t is ruled that 1.-THE center Of
the ball shall determine the position
of the ball." also, s'If after the snap
per-back has taken his position he
should voluntarily move the ball as If
to snap it, whether he witholds it al
together or only momentarily, the re-
fierce shall regard the ball as being in
play and the scrimmage begun"
There are no important revisions in
the rules regarding mass plays and
interference, although the committee
takes care to add several "notes.
Penalties have been made severe
and should, if enforced, put an end
to the squabbling, as two minutes is all
the time allowed to dispute the Off
cial rulings, before the penalty is put
in force.

A WILD ENGINE.
Ran Through Woods and Fields, Rolled
Over and Over and Narrowly Missed
House.
Moundsville Echo.

Yesterday evening terrifying acci-
dent happened near the Wolf Run
postofiice. Two young men named
Neehouse were coming down hill
with their traction engine when it got
beyond their control, left the road and
after tearing through two fences and
fields and woods for two hundred yards
it struck a stump and rolled over sew
eral times, completely wreclSing it.
Had 1T not struck the stump it would
have gone through house in which
several people were.
The Neehouses bought the engine
new this year and never before had
any experience operating one. This
was their second accident.
Though they bravely stuck to the
wild engine, yet it was only by chance
that il did not kill or injure several
people.
1t furnishes another illustration OF
the danger from unskilled people
handling engines and boilers. They
are one OF the greatest hazards now In
the country, yet there is no provision
OF law to govern their operating such
as governs marine engines.

Treatment of Watches.

That watch may keep good time,
says T. N. Smith, it should be care
fully treated; it should be wound at
the same time daily and when not
worn should be placed in the same po-
sition, always hung up or laid down,
as every watch goes differently in
different positions.
In watches having double case,
the outer one should never be left
open. If it is left open even for one
night, the glass is covered with thin
film of dust, which will gradually en-
ter the works through even the tint
est openings in the case.
Watches should be wound in the
morning, because spring fully wound
up will more readily overcome the
disturbances produced by the move
ments Of the wearer. Springs will
not break SO easily II watches are care
fully wound up and not taken out of
a warm pocket and placed directly
against cold wall or on a marble
slab; for that reason protective mat
is desirable.
The changes of the oil, the varia-
tions in temperature, the density and
humidity of the air, all greatly affect
the going of watch, and it is only
the lever watch OF the most perfect
finish which almost neutralizes those
adverse influences. No watch keeps
perfectly correct time. Even the
chronometers, used in observatories
and On boasd ships, must be regulated
according to tables which fix the vari-
ations to which witches are subject.
A watch should be cleaned every
two or three years. In time the oil
decomposes, gets mixed with the par
ticles of dust which enter the works
Of even the best-closing watch, begins
to act as grinding material, and
wears out the working parts. It
frequently happens that a watch re-
quires cleaning oftener than once in
two years especially if it closes badly
or is exposed to much dust and dirt.
Any one who has the misfortune to
drop his watch into the water should
take it at once to the matchmaker,
TO have it taken to pieces and cleaned
as delay for even an hour may ruin
the watch forever

THE speech of Mr.. Ward Lindsay

fairmont's Daily Newspaper is not sup

Some lessons for Home Consumption.

The Daily Expositor at Fairmont
has ceased to exist. The announce
ment was made in the issue OF the
paper that reached us this morning.
The reason given for the stoppage Of
the paper is that it does not pay.
Consequently the town up the river
will have have to do without its dali
ly which was credit to it and
would have done credit to much
larger town.
The paper was six months old. 1t
had covered the field. 1t sold at
two cents copy yet it did not pay.
The men who were running it found
the task OF getting out daily her
culean one and after giving it fair
trial were forced to abandon it.
This town should take warning
by the example afforded by this in
cident There is very little fun, lots
of hard work and not cent of money
in the daily newspaper field here.
This it is reasonable to suppose will
be remedied by the good sense of
the people among whom we at pres
ent live.
AS for the death of our contempo-
rary we have nothing but regret.
We are not only sorry for the sake
of the town in which it had its being
but for personal reasons The young
men who were interested in the ven
ture are both personal friends Of
ours and we are sorry for their sake
that they have failed thus far.
The weekly edition Of the paper
will continue to be issued and we
hope that the day will come when
the little daily will make its appear
ance again.

CHEAPER COFFEE.
One result OF the War with the Cas-
tilians.

Coffee is to be cheaper. This is to
be one result of the war. Nearly
half of the worlds coffee crop comes
to the United States We consume
almost twelve pounds per annum for
every one of our population, and spend
on an average nearly 800, 600, 600 a
year for coffee. Two thirds of the
worlds supply Of coffee comes from
Brazil, which places an export duty
of II per cent upon the fragrant ber-
ry. The finest coffee in the world is
grown in Porto Rico, Cuba and the
Philippines and under the stimu-
iation of American enterprise these
countries will, within few years, be
able to supply the world with coffee.
What this means to the coffee con-
sumner he can clearly understand.

CHRISTMAS CAROLS.

Many other quaint ob8ervances there
are in connection with the festival of
Christmas, but none so sweet and
touching as the one of singing carols
on Christmas morning. This seems to
nave been a very early custom, and 10
have been instituted in imitation of the
songs of rejoicing which the angels
sang to the shepherds-the Gloria in
Excelsis, in fact, is claimed as being a
true Christmas carol. instrumental
snd vocal music was necessary ac-
compartment to all the early religious
feasts and games, and this long before
he Christian era. The Romans had
their bymus of rejoicing in the Kalends
of January, and these are thought to
nave been the forerunners of the Christ
mas carols. Telesphorous in the second
century refers to the Christians cele-
Grating public worship on the nj ght of
the nativity and then singing the an
geps hymn, in which Christ was de-
clareG to the shepherds by an angel:
The earliest carol extant was written
in the fourth century by Aureiius
Prudentius. The best, because most
naive and simple, of the ancient carols
that have come down to us are those
hy the Breton Minstrels.
