Fott.ball In the w*t will be h'es brutal
hereafter, if the rules just revised are
adopted.
The committee which was empowered
by the seven big Western colleges to
change the rules has been at work since
December IS, and has completed its
labors.
The old time “tackles back” play will
be a thing of the past, there will be no
more piling on after a player has been
downed, and It will be decidedly unpro
s fitable to “slug" or hold in the line.
Hereafter a touch-down and a goal will
■ count five Instead of Six; a goal from field
■ kick, four; a goal from place kick, three;
■ touch-down, failing goal, four, and a
" aafety, two.
Another change for the better is In the
time allowed for delay in case of accident.
This has been a disagreeable feature of
the game heretofore.
Tom Sharkey Is after Peter Maher for
another fight. Not long ago Maher's
managers wrote a letter to the effect that
Sharkey was afraid of Peter, and would
not make another match. The ex-sailor,
however, came to time promptly with a
communication, In which he stated that
after his coming fight with Jeffrie® he
would fight .Maher in six weeks, to a (
finish, for the largest purse obtainable
and as big a side purse as Peter's backers ;
cared to name.
Sharkey alro declared that he would i
agree to fight Maher in ’Frlaoo, New Or
leans. Carson City or Greater New York,
and would cover any deposit that Maher's
backers cared to make. All the terms are
agreeable to Maher, end a match seems
probable. Sharkey’s fight, with Maher in
New York last winter caused so much
talK that the mention of another contest
sets the sports on edge again. When
Sharkey sent Maher sprawling to the
ropes with a rap on the jaw. the sailor
gained a host of friends, who still believe
he can beat his rival, but Peters friends
became so confident when he quickly
knocked Sharkey down, and they have
ttaid ever since that IT the battle had
gone another round it would have been
nil over, but the shouting.
The regular weekly meeting of the St.
Louis Association Football League was
held Tuesday evening. A rule was made
> that will prohibit the Cycling Club from
I resigning Ashton. The rule is; "When a
flayer is once signed by a club and after
wards released he cannot become a mem
ber of the same (dub again, without the
consent of all the other clubs in the
league.’’
The Shamrocks released Wild and Nag fl
an d signed McLaughlin, Jack Lally and ,
Josh Lewis. The Carpels signed Sheldon i

Cappels of Shaughinessy and McLaughlin

Harvey Watkins has again deserted the

M. Wellington Leonard is not taking
much time to breathe between scraps. He
goes to Toronto to meet Martin Judge, of
Philadelphia, before the Crescent Ath
letic Club next Saturday night.
Peter Maher, who has been quietly rest
ing in Quakerdom, where he wedded his
better half, has broken the silence to re-
■ mark: “Corbett is a bloody big stiff, and
i he won't fight anybody. He ran away from
| me, and would never have fought Fitz-
; simmons if the public had not driven him
I into it. Corbett will never fight again if
he can help it.” What beautiful language
these fighting Gentlemen use!
A Clever Trick.
It certainly looks like it, but there is
really no trick about it. Anybody can try
it who has lame back and weak kidneys,
malaria or nervous troubles. We mean he
can cure himself right away by taking
Electric Bitters. This medicine tones up
the whole system, acts as a stimulant to
the liver and kidneys, is a blood purifier
and nerve tonic. It cures constipation,
headache, fainting spells, sleeplessness
and melancholy. It is purely vegetable, a
mild laxative, and restores the system to
its natural vigor. Try Electric Bitters and
be convinced that they are a miracle
worker. Every bottle guaranteed. Only
50c. a bottle at H. J. Lamar & Sons’ drug
store.
Edward Everett Hale.
Dr. Hale served the ministry in Wash
ington for a year or two and from 184(5 to
1850 in Worcester, where he is affectionate
ly remembered in many ways and partic
ularly as founder of its public library, and
he was commissioned pastor of Ino South
Congregation church 41 years ago, where
he is n r.-rying and baptizing the children
and grandchildren of his early parishion
ers. But he does not belong to the South
Congregational church. He has always
maintained that to give, oneself fully to
any particular work, and especially to
that of the ministry, to make the gift real
ly great, one must enlarge oneself by the
widest service which intensifies the man
■ and makes him able to offer a worthy
: offering. So he has bad a planetary inllu
; Slice through his institution of “Ten
| Times One Is Ten” and “Lend a Hand,’’
of Wadsworth clubs and Lend a Hand
| clubs all over the world, in every sort of
j philanthropic work, economic, social and
j industrial.
His progress through the west a year or
two ago was a kind of peaceful triumph.
No name is more familiar on the lips of
good men everywhere. His literary work
has been stupendous, reaching to 50 vol
umes and tenfold 50 volumes in uncollect
ed articles, studies and sermons. He has
caught the popular fancy as few purely
■ literary men have ever done with “My
Double and How He Undid Me ’and “The
! Man Without a Country.” But these are
j only unconsidered trifles in the bibliog
raphy of the prolific author who is now
delighting everybody with the reminis
cences of his rich acquaintance with men
and things, the expression of a ripe mind,
full without prolixity, liberal without
garrulity and instructive without pedan
try.—Time and the Hour.
Emergency Doctors In Faris.
In Paris a list of doctors ready to attend
fn ease of emergencies occurring in the
! night is published for the convenience of
the public. Originally, we learn, a fee of
10 francs was the standard payment, but
more recently a pool has been instituted
' and the result divided quarterly among
I the doctors. This system has alienated the
better class practitioner, and now the em
ployment of the whole class has become
endangered by the death of a patient treat
ed by one of the members who lives on
£ls per annum, with a stock of instru
ments as scanty as his income.—London
Hospital.
