FAMOUS PASTORS WATCH.
Timepiece Handed Down 1875 Years
Still Runs Accurately.

One of the most interesting relics
in New England, a clergymans gold
watch over 125 years old, which has
been handed down from minister to
minister in Norfolk, Conn, for CEN
fury, made its appearance at the shop
of Edward F. Coxeter in Hartford re-
Gently to be cleaned. After it's clean
ing it kept as good time as the cleo
trio clock on the city hall, 100 years
it's junior.
The watch was originally the prop
erty of the Rev. Ammi R. Robbins Of
Norfolk in 1882. 1t is now the proper
ty of the Rev. w. F. Stearns.
The watch was made by P. Dupont
of London Eng, and is of the old pat
tern known as the English verge 1t
has a rounded face, from which the
srystal protrudes nearly half an inch.
The glass forms sort of cap. The
outer case has no glass. The works
are enclosed by still another case,
and on the back are covered by anoth-
err cap. The wheels work directly

Crusade Against Mosquitoes.

In a warning against the great sum-
mer pest and menace-mosqultoe
the department of health OF Philadel-
phia says: Mosquitoes, as rule, de-
post their eggs in stagnant water,
which hatch out with great rapidity
in the form of small animals called
'wrigglers,' named from the manner
in which they propel themselves
through the water, which, in few
days become full-fedged mosquitoes.
A sufficient number of mosquitoes to
annoy an entire neighborhood can be
developed from a very small quantity
of water. A neglected tomato can
containing water is sufficient for this
purpose; therefore, watch, remove,
or tightly cover with cheesecloth all
barrels. boxes. tin cans, choked roof

number of years and they are managed by an
especially capable and conservative body of Off

Reports just received from the experts who
have been studying the situation there declare
however that the plan is not a success In
respect both to the service received and the
financial results public ownership in Germany is
declared to be long way from satisfactory AT

GUARDS PRESIDENTS LIFE

The changes in officaldom at the national cap
ital that followed the Inauguration of William H.
Taft as president extended even to the personnel
of that secret service corps charged with pro-
tecting the person of the chief magistrate of the
nation.
1t is not strange that each president should
prefer to exercise strictly his personal prefer
ences regarding the secret service men detailed

high or low degree are more closely or more con-
