Many times during the past few
months rumors have gone the round of
newspapers that the Queen Regent Of
SpaiI had decided to abdicate her throne
in favor of her young son. So it was in
the early part of 1897 in reference to
Queen Victoria. In both cases the abdi-
cation is spoken of as If it were of COM
mon occurance, yet history shows that
voluntary abdication is rare. According
to the author of 'If the Queen had Abdi-
Gated" in the August number of Har-
per's ,Magazine-the Queen IN this case
being Victoria-there has been no case
of voluntary abdication in England, and
only half dozen cases in all, as follows
''In 70 B. c. Sulla abdicated the dictator
ship of Rome. In 305 A. D. Diocletiar
abdicated the imperial throne. In 1861
Charles V. of Spain abdicated. Thel
there are abdications of Christina O.

THE OUTLOOK FOR THE TOBACCO CROP
The prospect for good tobacco crop
are good up to the present date. So far
no showers doing serious damage, no
hail, no insect pests of any account and
rapid growth which is said to produce
the best quality of leaf. A large number
of crops are being sOldLin the Connect
cut valley also in the Housatonic, and
at fair price. Many crops are bought,
the buyers spotting them. Crops bought
are in nearly all cases standing, the
growers running all the risks. The gen
eral rule has been, should the crop prove
disappointment in any way they will
either refuse to receive it or at such a
price as they feel disposed to give, max.
ing much trouble when delivered. But
the temptation to sell is generally to
strong even for cool heads to resist
The idea that because tobacco, as retaileG
to the consumer, has advanced indicates
strong advance in prices to be paid the
farmer is incorrect, as this advance il
simply the tax laid for war expenses.

Editorial Notes.

1t may not be generally known, but it
is fact, that the treasury of the New
town Library association is empty, and
the energetic ladies of Newtown have
set about to fill it by giving a local en-
tertainment which ought to crowd the
Town hall, this evening. Most of Us
recognize the value of such an inetitu-
tion as the library, and We hope it will
not be allowed to die for want Of funds.
We hope to live to see the day when the
library will be housed in a home Of its
own, the gift of some citizen or citizens
who wish in this to leave an imperis b.
able monument to their memory. But
while we are waiting for this event, lei
us not forget to support the ladies il
their efforts to put money in the treasury
of the Library association.

For Men Only.

Mr.. Weber's subject at the meeting
for men only yesterday at the Nj. r..
church was gambling and its kindred
evils He said: Il love to fish and
especially do ! love to angle for trout.

a gamy one and worthy of good bait,
but when | go fishing for suckers and
bullheads | take sucker bait and bull
head bait Gambling is one of the very
worst sins and crimes. A gambler Is
always a thief When Quinn, the great
gambler in New York. was converted,
he revealed the secrets of gambling to
the public and showed that the gambler
always fixed the cards and thus took in
the sucker, and there is nothing the
gambler loves better than to take in
the sucker. A man loses all human
feelings and becomes exceedingly hard
hearted when he begins to gamble |
have known of gamblers selling the
watch their dear mother gave them as
a present, and the wedding ring in order
to get money to gamble with. Is not
that hard hearted? | have known them
to take the last morsel of bread and
leave wife and children without any for
days in order that they might gamble
1t kills the better feelings of the soul,
and makes of man a brute.
"A gambling game in a church fair
is as much gambling as when 1t Is car

pastor visited Il man in jail once and
was repulsed by these words: Get

church. The saloon is always near the
gambling den, for no man without
whiskey to cloud his reason will ever
so degrade himself as to run entirely
beyond decency and a feeling of hui

the saloon which would damn your
boys, setting fire 10 all the baser and

gregation was then dismissed. During
the week Mr.. Weber VIII preach on his
special topics. The spacious church
edifice could not nearly contain all who
came in the evening. A very large
number was turned away. His subject
for tonight will be "A Straight Ticket

Nothing New Learned.

Nothing further was learned yester-
day concerning Mrs. Mary Jane Fow-
Ter, who was found dead in her cabin
on Saturday afternoon. The rumor of
her hidden money had the effect of
keeping up a search of the premises
yesterday, but without results. 1t was
learned yesterday that three or four
days ago the old lady had told Sister
Irene Of st. AIMS hospital that she had
about $500. She said that she was sub
ject to fits and that when she died she
would leave the money to the hospital.
The sister advised her that If she had
that much money she had better
put IL in the bank, but the old lady
said she would not trust the banks.
There is little ground for believing
that any money was left by Mrs, Fow-
Ter.
