NEW YORK, Feb. 1i.-Thc National
Trotting Association, at it's twenty-third
biennial songress, held to-day, made
MANY Important changes in its rules to
govern the trotting turf for the coming
year.
A new rule to prevent drivers or riders
from resorting to the use of a watch
while In IL race led to an animated dis
CUSTOM but was finally adopted
On the accommodation Of the Rule
Committee. y rule was adopted allowing
any circuit or tracks OF five or moro
members to have it's own Board of
Stewards, whose ruling will be supreme
ir instances affecting that particular cir
cult.
A new rule was adopted requiring all
starters to have licenses from the Ma
tional Association, a number Of amend
ments to the rules were adopted.
Rule 4S was amended to read That In
all performances against time n pace
maker may accompany the trotter or
PAGER, but shall not run ahead of him
to break tho natural resistance of the
atmosphere.
The reason announced for passing this
rule was because experience had shown
that the wind shield aided trotters aud
PAGERS to gain records from three 20
eight seconds faster than these same
horses were capable OF making unuer
normal conditions. I, was decided that
the practice of admitting such perform
ances OF records in II separate class had
led to confusion and also gas unfair to
the horses which had taken records in
the regular way.
The following officers were elected:

thority of the police boat captains. no
Difference need be made to the reflections
for cruelty and hardships inflicted on
the sailors on board the vessels engaged
In the oyster industry. Tile police boat
captains have no authority or Jurisdiction
whatever over such matters, nor do their
duties extend TO these matters.
The article in to-day's paper does great
injustice to these police boat captains and
to the board, and must have been written
without investigating the oyster laws and
conditions or the rights OF the States of
Virginia or Maryland over the Potomac
River Nor could he have realized the
impossiblity OF yirginia's small navy
adequately protecting her oyster Interest
or Furnishing all violators of her oyster
laws.
The board has earnestly endeapored to
discharge its duties TO the best of Its
ability with the means at hand, and to
reap for the State a fair revenue. This
revenue, by the last annual report, shows
a net profit to the State of 1898, realized
In ninety months. II Is true that violations
are still going on, and the beds are being
deprecated on, but these violations and
depredations are decreasing, and the
industry is developing and growing rapidly
and the States oyster beds are better
protected than ever before. The board
asks that YOU give this article the same
prominence you give thai of your staff

MONKEY PLAYED MANY PARTS.
Defined by Customs Men as a Bird, a
Handbag and a Dog.

men brought from southwest Africa
tiny monkey weighing barely a
couple Of pounds. From Tanga to
Genoa all went well with the Lilli-
putian animal. 1t was favorite with
everyone, and travelled free until
Genoa was reached, when it's troubles
began.
Brought under the notice of the &C.
noese customhouse authorities, it was
promptly deprived of its identity. 1t
was no longer an animal; it became
a bird, and as a bird, on which %
cents was charged, it was conveyed to
the Swiss frontier, where, at stroke
of the customhouse officers wand it
was transformed into cat at the in
creased assessment Of $1.56, and
borne by train to Zurich.
On its arrival there 1t ceased, as a
cat, to exist, and became mere pack
age-an item of luggage that was con-
veyed to Constance for the nominal
sum Of 16 cents.
Still as luggage, though metamor-
phized from package into handbag,
it went on it's way to Stuttgart, where
great honor awaited it. 1t was, on
payment of $2.04, exalted into a dog,
and it was as dog that it ended it's
journey at the university town Of

CHURCH PEW HIS BED.
Tramp Finds Rest for His Weary
Bones in House of Worship.

The janitor Of one of Portsmouth
largest churches was given big sur
prise Sunday morning as he stepped
into the auditorium after opening the
big front doors to allow of the usual
airing out. He came face to face with
strange and tough-looking man. At
first the janitor feared a touch of the
chills, but he finally brought himself
together and inquired of the man what
he had been doing.
The fellow said that he had been en-
joying a nights rest on the cushions
of a pew away down front. Saturday
night he was attracted to the church
by the singing Of the choir during re-
hearsal. He found the door open,
walked in and sat down.
TIE music had that soothing effect
and the wanderer fell asleep. He knew
nothing more until daylight, when he
awoke wondering where he was at. He
said that in all his life he had never
found a more comfortable bed.
The janitor looked about, saw that
nothing was disturbed and then al
lowed the stranger to go.-Portsmouth,

Last year, after having my little

with the almost instantaneous relief
afforded that we discarded the physi-
clans prescription and relied entirely
on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Oint-
ment, and Cuticura Pills. When we
commenced with the Cuticura Rene
dies her feet and limbs were covered
with running sores. In about six
weeks we had her completely well,
and there has been no recurrence Of
the trouble. We find that the Cuti
