Forward passing has been altered 20 q certain
tent making it less risky to use it on the first and
second down. Instead Of losing the bail in case the
forward pass strikes the ground before striking

Of the ball by losing Is yards In distance. When
the forward pass IS ess@yed the third down. how
ever and il strikes the ground without striking
player Is otherwise made illegally. the ball must
be surrendered % the ether side exactly as formerly.
In order 10 cover 4 point upon which there was
discussion last year the following legislation
vas enacted: That a line may carry the ball
provided he does not leave his position in the line
until the ball is put in play
lt also determined that the forward pass o.
tripping huTdling by the side that did not pIB

Is yards.
In order to clearly settle the point about the
rights Of a side a fair catch It was enacted that
a man should be regarded as having an Opportunity
IN make fair catch when il was possible for him
% reach the bail before il should strike the ground
In order 10 prevent signaling by man ard
catch and by another. it lcgislated that II
one man ot the side signals his intention Of making
fair catch and then anothr of his side Who did
not signal, makes the catch. this player NAV not

jurisdiction Of the referee
or particular interest to Washington
followers of the sport is the change in
the rule relating TO the position OF the
center in passing the ball. Last fall at
one Of the local inter-high school games,
Western contended that under the rules a
center was allowed to use only one hand
in getting the ball back to his quarter
back or for a kick
The officials, while they realized that
"nder the rule a center using two hands
would be of side, declined 70 accept the
responsibility OF making so radical a de-
cision. After the game the attention Of
member OF the National rules COM
mittee was called TO the point under dis
cussion. and the new guide shows that
the rule has been changed SO that in the
future center may use both hands or
foot in swapping the ball

School Entertainment.

The school entertainment given at the Ramirez theatre yesterday evening by the Rising Star Club of the Nogales public school, as the termination of the work of the school year now closed, was largely attended by the friends and patrons of the school; and they were pleas ed and delighted with a program that was unique and attractive in itself and manifested that in the drilling and preparation the teach CTS had shown great care and at- tention to detail.
 Master Jesse Chatham. president of the Rising Stars, acted as master of ceremonies; and the Mo- gales Cornet Band. under leader ship of Professor Balderas, supplied music.
 The opening number was Amer ica", by the band; and then the "Bo Peep Drill' was executed by dozen small girls and an equal number of small boys-the little ladies so many "Bo Peeps" of course. and the boys like number of Little Boys Blue" Then a dozen of the little misses sang "Lullaby."
 After another number by the band there was rendered "The Lit tie Grandmas" in two parts; the first by dozen little girls, and the second by another dozen yet smaller girls. Both parts were charmingly rendered.; and the bunch of wee ones were particularly effective. Their dancing the Virginia Reel brought down the house.
 Lucille Kissinger recited Spring Song," to musical accompaniment; ]; and violin solo by Zellee Jones was rendered very effectively and pleasingly for one so young. A dialogue by the larger hoys- "The Trials of a Teacher" and "Bro't to Trial for Blowin'." was the next on the program. Another musical number by the band, and then the song Spring Has Come" by same little girls who sang the "Lullaby"
 The next number was a "Sun Flower Drill" by twenty hoys, clad in green, with sun flowers for helmets and decorations, and slaves of sunhowers. It was very attractive feature.

 The Pittsfield Eagle says: Manual training, to consist of the teaching of useful handiwork, such as wire work ing, carpenter work, seating chairs and numerous other things, is to be taught the 15 colored children of the "New Guinea :" school in Sheffield.
 The first impetus to the work was given by a woman, who at her death left a bequest to be used for the negro children of Sheffield. Recently A. F. Howes, superintendent of schools, re. marked to Rev. E. ,. Torrey of the Con gregational Church that manual train ing would be very desirable in the "New Guinea school. It developed that Mr Torrey was wire worker by trade, and that he had also done considerable amount of carpenter work. Mir. Howes at once hit upon the plan of engaging MT. Torrey as instructor.

Perhaps it will Work and Perhaps 1t
 Will Not.-lt's Worth Trying.
 The secret for burning ashes with coal, discovered by John Fillmore ,an AL cited attention almost the world over, is out. Several well.known chemists inn mediately after it was announced that Fillmore had solved the problem of ob- taining heat from ashes set to work to try and discover the formula and here | it is: Common salt, one pound. Oxalic acid, two ounces. Water, one gallon.
 Mix and moisten g. mixture contain ing one part of coal and three parts ashes and better fuel than pure coal is ob- tained.
 The ashes of anthracite coal burn as readily as do those of bituminous. This mixture will, upon being placed upon a burning fire, fuse into coke-lile mass and deposit but little residue The chemical action of this compound is thus explained. ...
 When an aqueous solution of m aka line salt, such as common salt is mixed with coal ash, the result is that mild lye is formed, which, when mixed with any combustible material, such as coal, and upon the application of heat gives off oxygen gas thus enabling rapid com bustion. 04..
 The addition of oxalic acid causes chemical change of greater value than the first, for the reason that it results in the formation of carbide, which in turn gives off acetylene gas this adding to the intensity of the heat and facilita- ting complete combustion.
 It is possible upon moistening a small quantity of ashes without the addition of coal, to really detect the odor of acct ylene gas, and if the treated ashes are placed upon lighted fire they will fuse and burn to fine powder. The com pound is now being used in many large industrial and mercantile places and it is claimed for it that it has reduc- ed the fuel item more than half. 1t has eliminated almost entirely the question of disposition of ashes, which has been considerable where great quantities of coal are consumed.

OBITUARY
ANNETTA o'BRIEN CUNNING.


 After an illness which had lasted for several months Miss A. O. Dun- ming died in this village Saturday after. noon April 20.
 Miss Cunning was born i'll Philadel- phia, Pa., and was educated in Miss Por- ter's school ill Pennington, Conn.,, com ing to Canaan in 1867. When she first came here she opened a private school ill the Town Hall and later was associated with Miss Sarah W. Adam in the conduct of girls boarding school in the house now occupied by Mrs. F O. Eddy.
 After the discontinuance of the board ing school Miss Cunning continued to make her home with Miss Adam. with whom she has. ever since lived. During these 40 years of residence in this con- munity she has been keenly interested ill public matters and, until i'll later years failing health made activity impossible, active ill every movement looking to the social and educational ad- vancement of the town. Those who re- call the early days of the Village Inn provement Association will think of her in connection with that organiza- tion, and it will be remembered that at the time of her death she was one of the trustees of the Douglas library. She took deep interest in the library, and before as well as since her appointment as trus- tee had given much time to its affairs; in fact the last work she did before becom- ing confined to her home was ill connec- tion with the arrangement and classifi- cation of books added last fall.
 A lover of everything beautiful in na- ture and art, she had the gift of inspir. ing children and young people with some of her own enthusiasm, and, gifted with deftness of hand quite unusual, she has left many pieces of unique and beautiful work. Endowed with peculiarly active and inventive mind she possessed within herself resources often drawn upon for the amusement and entertainment of OUuSlS, dnN NllC stl NCN utI N6ll uul ing the many months of i'll health which came to her in laser years. Her death is distinct loss to the community and Q personal bereavement to her friends.
 The funeral services, conducted by the Rev. E. c. Gillette, were held at the residence of Miss Adam, Tuesday after noon of this week, burial being in the lower cemetery, William l.. Adam ot Pittsfield, Mass, Samuel A. Eddy, H. E Lyles and l.. H. Adams acting as bearers
 Friends and relatives from out of town who attended the funeral included Miss Cummings two sisters, Mrs. Mary E.Dow and Miss Fanny V. Dunning;' cousins Miss Marcia Cunning and Robert Dun ming; also Mrs. Sarah H. Emerson of New York city and MT. and Mrs. w. L. Adam and Miss Mary Adam of Pittsfield Mass.
