The publishers of town histories APP
pear to be having a new impetus, Wal
lingford and Royalton having just come
to the front. Within few years
Springfield, Rockingham and Newbury
have published comprehensive town his
tories. +. r. Wells who wrote the
history of Newbury, is now writing a
history OF Ryegate, which he intends
shall be companion piece to the New
bury history. The publishing of these
town histories is Of the greatest inn
portanee to the state.
The postoffice department has written
Congressman Plumey that the appiea-
ton for the establishing Of second
rural delivery route from the Danville
Office has been disapproved, on the
ground that such extension is not re-
quired by the necessities of the case.
Probably the matter will be dropped
for the present though the refusal is
likely to renew the agitation for the re-
establishing Of the star route from East
Barnet to Danville, via South Danvile
and Harvey, which route was discon-
tiRued a year or more ago. It's loss,
with the discontinuance of the post
Offices at South Danville and Harvey,
has caused much inconvenience and hard
ship, and either another rural delivery
route or the re-establishing OF the star
route to supply these Offices will prob
ally be demanded

Jeannette, who has gone to Paris. is supposed to be matched to fight 20 rounds with Langford at Vernon. Cal. put It Is understood that only a tenta- uVe agreement has been made. Jean nette said before sailing away last week that he would box Johnson ten rounds in New York, six rounds in Philadelphia or 20 rounds on the coast TOT 1un II necessary, at the same time expressing the opinion that Johnson
 wouldn't agree to fight him at all. Lapgford will return to this country with two heavyweight titles. He won tne championship of Great Britain when he knocked out Ian Hogue and retained 1t when BOmbadier Wells re- fused to accept his challenge. The Tar Baby also captured the Australian

MARQUARD LEARNING TO
 PITCH SLOW BALL
Giant TwirIer Win Be lnvincible When He Acquires Change of Pace.


 When He Acquires Change of Pace.
 If Rube Marquard can pitch slow ball, Coach Robinson of the Giants says ne will be invincible Marquard has learned to control terrific speed and a fast breaking curve. But he doesn't know much about change of pace Robinson is drilling him every day in the art of pitching floaters and says the big southpaW is making prog ress. All of the great pitchers in days gone by mixed slow ones with fast ones, thereby increasing their ef- fectiveness in . remarkable way. One of the first to use a slow ball was Radbourne of the champion Provi- 6ence team of 1884. Tim Keefe and John Clarkson also employed change of pace wiCh splendid results It was Keefe who first showed Amos Rusie how to pitch a slow ball The big Hoosier was depending entirely on speed when Keefe took him in hand. In a couple of months Rusie had the folater down fine and as he never va ried hls delivery he had practically every big hitter in the country on his list Fucker, in a recent Brooklyn N. '. game pitched a slow ball to Mer- l1le that was a gem. The sphere seemed ready to drop to the ground in it's journey to the plate. It had so little momentum to it that Merkle did not know what to make of 1t until Umpire Klem callied it strike. The next ball, delivered with the same wind-up, had whiskers on it and whis- tied over the pan before Merkle could see it. That was real change of pace, sure enough.

GEORGES CARPENTER TO
 VISIT THIS COUNTRY.
Provided He Wins from Willie Lewis
 in Paris Next Month.

In the event that Georges Carpenter, the sensational boxer of France, de- cistvely defeats Willie Lewis in their match in Paris next month the French man will come here to fight Tom McCarey of Los Angeles, Jimmy Golf froth of San Francisco and the Garden Athletic club have made big offers to Carpenter to come to the United States and box with Mike Gibbons, Jack Dillon or Frank Klaus, the top- notchers in the middleweight division.
 Dan McKetricll, now on his way to France, will try to arrange conditions and bring Carpentier over with him. It was this chance to look after the matches of Carpenter in this country that sent McKetrick to Paris. He has great respect for Carpenter and he believes Lewis has seen his best days and that there is little or no chance for his fighter to defeat the Frenchman.
 Enghsnmen, as well as Frenchmen, believe Carpentier Is the greatest fighter of his weight in the world to- day. Carpentier has only been fight ing 8 trife over a year, yet in that time he has gained a long string of victories. By knocking out Jim SuIli- van, the middleweight champion of England, in two rounds during a fight at Conaco Carpenter earned that title. As hs had previously gained the French championship, Carpenter is a dual titleholder-the only one in the boxing world today.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET STILL DEPRESSED.
Sinking of Titanic Still Factor il
 Wall Street Operations.

New York, April 1.-The stock market today offered further proof in It's halting and uncertain tone of the widespread depression caused by the greatest marine tragedy of modern times. The catastrophe comes home to Wall street with especial force, if for no other reason than that it in- wolves the loss of men of influence in that community. The speculative ele- ment and professional traders evident ly thought the time inopportune for recuTTent bull movement, and the de- clines which followed a moderately strong opening probably resulted more from the lack of buying than from any activity on the part of the bear faction.
 Securities of the International Mer- cantile Marine company manifested a better tendency on very light dealings at the outset, the common shares ris- ing fracttonally, the preferred stock a point and the 4 1-2 per cent. bonds 1-4 Later they receded slightly, but were under nc selling prassure at any period of the session. A majority of the active stocks registered advances in the initial dealings, with pronounce ed strength in Union Pacific common and preferred. Before the end of the
  ed the markets course and many of the standard issues went under the previous days lowest quotations, while business fell to minor proportions. Midday brought partial, recovery with especial resihency in Amalgamated Copper and American Can, while pres sure against Steel was but slightly re- faxed The heaViness of Steel was ac- counted for in part by the dissemina- ton of rumors dealing with the possi- | bIe action of the directors at their i quarterly meeting 8 fortnight hence. | The finarcial district seems to take it | for granted that earnings for the first quarter will fall short of dividend re- uuirements on the common stock at 1 the present per cent. rate and that | this condition may affect the policy of | the corporation for the ensuing year. l Amalgamated and the other copper 1 stocks. as well as American Smelling, held fairly steady during the greater part of the day, which was charac- l terized by extreme dullness in the l afternoon International Harvester and Bethlehem Steel common and 1 preferred were among the few strong | features in the special group with un- ! explained weakness in the fertilizers. | In the last hour prices rose all round, ! duplicated its recent high price, but l the advance was soon followed by stagnation and recessions from the top.
 The closing was marked by frmness
 and a mixture of losses and gains. A feature of the days operations on
 the "curb" was an advance of 150 in
 the price of Old Marcon1 Wireless shares, a rise of 25 points for the day
 and about double its price of week
 ago, with an increased demand for the stock abroad.
 Announcement that New York city is soon to issue some $65, ,000, ,0O0 fifty year 41-4 per cent bonds was follow
