ROGUE INTEREST IS DYING OUT
 IN THE STATE

Norwich, Aug. 1s.-whether rogue. the up-to-date game of croquet. is passing out of the list of competitive sports or whether those who play it and who have ambitions to compete for the national championship are un- willing to travel so far from their homes is not determined, but the fact is evident that there has been lack of interest in the entry list for the tour nament which is scheduled to open here tomorrow. Roque tournaments have been played on courts here for 30 years and until recently the entry lists were large. In recent yearS the num- Der of New England entrants has fal- len off and most of those who played came from Pennsylvania and the mid dIe states.
 In recent years there has been a movement on foot to have the tourna- ments held in Philadelphia, where the game is played much more commonly than in New England. This year, this plan may be adopted through lack of interest in the tournament. The Ma tfonal Association owns its grounds here and this factor has kept the tour nament in Norwich. Should there be lack of financial support of the asso- citation there will probably be an eff fort to make Philadelphia the place.
 The players are arriving here and practice on the nine courts at the tour ney grounds is in full swing.

POWER OF IMPEACHMENT

Tn every moral aspect the impeachment of su1zer is who desire his overthrow because he prevented their organized loot and misgoverneht in departments of state.
 In it's legal aspect this question is involved Does the New York state constitution give power of peach the Legislature when it is in extraordinary sion does the constitution merely provide that the Legislature shall consider those matters brought to it's attention by the governor9
 If the extraordinary session has power to impeach, little doubt but the constitution provides definite y the suspension of the governor from the duties of his oce until he is acquitted and also provides that the lieutenant governor shall succeed him.
 This the tenor of most of the state constitutions including that of Connecticut. Here in New York the power impeach the lower the impeachment in the Senate Here also the ieute governor succeeds to the duties of governor when the impeachment takes place.

FIRST THINGS IN HISTORY

The inst important step toward p1ac- ing the ministers of non-conformist sects on a, legal equality with the cIer- gy of the established church of Eng land was taken seventy-seven years ago today, when the Dissenters' Mar riages Act was passed. By this law dissenters acquired the right of solern- nizing marriages at their own chapels. Marriages without religious ceremony, by registrars certificate, were also lei ga1ized by this act. It was not until 1880, however, that an act was passed by which the ministers Of dissenters gained the right to officiate at funerals in churchyards. In Scotland, the acts prohibiting maria ges by Roman CatA- olic priests, or other clergymen not be longing to the Church of Scotland, were repealed in 1884. The beginning of dissent in England was in the reign of Edward VI, soon after the estap- lishment of the Anglican church. The two parties were designated conform ists and non-confornists, and the lat ter were also called Puritans. The le- gal toleration of dissenters dates from the revolution of 1882, but they long 1abored under disabilities of various kinds.

Senator FronIiCh Has
 Contest With Lane For MayoraIty Nomination

New Haven, Aug. 1S-Senator Jacob Frohlich has announced that he will contest with John J. Lane for the Democratic mayora1ty nomination. When the ward caucuses were held week ago to determine if the Demo crats should retain the primary plan Of making local nominations, it was generally understood that MT. Lane was the only active candidate for the nomination. Senator Froh1ich with former Representative Kenna led the side in favor of primaries. They lost by a narrow margin in several wards. Since then, it is understood, MT. F'roh- ljch has been overwhelmed with re- qrests to make the fight for the nom inatfon and to again make the run ming on the primary issue. The Dem ocrats claim that they neglected to vote on the question, last week, fail ing to realize that opposition to pri- maries had any strength. Now that the convention plan of making nom nations is likely to be re-adopted scores of party members are seeking to have the issue fought out again.
 Looking ahead, the supporters of the primary plan say that a change back to the convention plan would prove to be quite factor in the con- test for United States Senator, next year. A primary would give a clear field and no favor for the candidates for that nomination while a conven- ton could be made up of delegates pledged to one particular candidate.

THE STOCK MARKET.
(T L. Watson & Co.)

The only complaint that may Justly be made of the market is that it has advanced perhaps a little too rapidly. Technical conditions will no doubt de- 1elop from time to time to correct this But the interests which have changed the speculative complexion may reasonably be expected to try to broaden the market, and they seem confident of being able to revive pub lie patronage. With general condi- lions in stronger shape and with prices still on a basis which yield large investment returns, the public have much assurance of safety in buy ing whenever natural reactions take place.

crumbling masonry mark the site of the once ttimpregnab1e" fortress. Louis burg no longer echoes the roar of bat teries and the shrieks of dying men, and only the dull booming of the At lantic disturbs the silence. A sleepy little country town now bears the name of Louisburg-a monument to the mutability and the futility Of hu- man dreams.
 For thirty years the French were engaged in fortifying Louisburg, and millions were spent-with the intention of making it the strongest fortress in America The privateers who found refuge in it's spacious harbor threat ened the existence of New Englands S fishing industry, and in 1745 Governor Shirley Of Massa chusetts lifted out a fleet to cooperate with a British squa- dron under Commodore Warren, and dispatched it to Louisburg. The col onia1s were commanded by William Pepperell a Kittery merchant. The siege was prosecuted with energy, but in irregular and unscientific man ner. After forty-nine days Lucham- bon, the French comma nder, capitu- lated, and Louisburg fell into the hands of the English. Tn England the news was received with bonfires and illuminatfons, and the first lord of the admiralty declared that eff France were master of Portsmouth I would hang the man who should give Cape Breton in exchange NeVerthe- less, by the peace of Ak Ia ChapeIIe in 1748. Louisburg was restored to France. Tn 175S an English fleet un- der Amherst. with the gallant Wolfe second in command, set out to retake Louisburg.

MARKET is HEAVY
AT CLOSING HOUR

NEW YORK. May IS. Further
liquidation in the various issues of
the ST. Louis and San Francisco rail-
road constituted the principal feature
at the opening of today's stock mar
ket. Losses ranging from point
and half in the common stock to
over points in the per cent. bonds
were recorded. All the active stocks
showed nominal declines with the ex-
ception of Reading.
2 D. Inactivity abated somewhat
in the later trading but prices
evinced little tendency to recover
more than mere fractions. Selling
of Canadian Pacific continued, with
new low record for Pennsylvania.
8 p. m.-The market closed heavy.
Liquidation in minor stocks stopped,
and shorts covered in the active
shares, forcing rallies of a point in
Reading and the Pacifics.
