 KILLED BY DERBY TRAIN

Returning home from a business "trip to New Haven late yesterday afternoon Thomas N. Bronson of Tyler City, employed by Wellington Andrews of Orange, was struck by @ railroad train on the Derby division as he was crossing the tracks near Tyler City station.

 Bronson had been in New Haven on hisS milk route and on the way home stopped to do some business prith the Howard company in the Boulevard and at other places in 5connection with house he was 4building in Tyler City He also had collected a number of bills. It seems she was in a great hurry to get back. Shaving refused an invitation to stay lat a friends for dinner, and probably z Thinking he had time enough to cross efhe tracks started his horse across and was struck.
 Bronson was thirty-two years of fHge and single. It is rumored that he was to be married this month. : He leaves a mother, with whom he had been living in Tyler City.

MILAN PARTY'S
 MANAGER HIT
Refusal to IndOrse Raorback' S Appointment as Postmaster
 First Blow
Congressman Hill Recommends But Senator Bulkeley Found
 in Opposition

New Haven, June 14-The topic among the politicians about the center Of the city last night came from the Republican camp in Washington, that Senator Bulkeley had fired an import ant gun in the coming United States Senatorial campaign by opposing the recommendation of J. Henry Roraback Governor McLean'e political manager, for e-appointment as postmaster at Canaen. The salary of the office does hot count for much, being but $1, 700 a year. but from the fact that he had been recommended for a return by Congressman Hill of the Fourth dis trict and that the Post Office Depart ment refused to indorse him. it strikes a blow at the Mclean party.
 The move is said to be made on the ground of MT. Roraback's ''pernicious activity. as a Republican federal office holder. and it is part of the same plan from the Post Office Department which len at Middletown. and which led Ma jor John A. Hull. the cashier at the New Haven post office to resign as treasurer of the New Haven Young Mems Republican club: also other clerks in minor post office capacities ing Mclean men, but who were "too politically actfve.''
 Here in New Haven among the Re- publican politicians last night the sit uation seemed to be perplexing one. In fact none of them would discuss the matter openly.
 The Bulkeley element was chortling with joy. and this feeling. 1t was dis covered last night, was equally joyous among professional Democratic poli- ticians as well as among Republicans, and meantime the Mclean men were saying that the whole matter was a tempest in a tea pot. It was generally recognized, however. that the fact that the Post Office Department had refused to send in Roraback's name, after it had been recommended by Congress man Hill. was wholesale slap at the Hill faction which is backing Mclean. And it was suggested here that the Washington authorities have now a gun out for Internal Revenue Collector Robert O. Eaton of New Haven. North Haven. Hartford and Rhode Island, who is an out and out Mclean man, it is declared. and who has been warned heretofore for -pernicious activity but who has always steadfastly said that he knows nothing about poli- tics" Roraback was the manager of Congressman Hills campaign for Sen ator Brandegee's shoes when the latter squeezed in. Brandegee and Bulkeley, as is we'll known, are closely trotting pair

CURzON GOVERNESS
 ONCE, IN JAIL NOW
Mrs. Herbolt of Terryville Ac- cused of Theft Tells of Her
 Picturesque Career

Hartford, June 14.-Becky Sharp her self, apparently, never had more ups and downs in her checkered career than Mrs. Louise Herbolt, of Terry Vile, who says she once was governess in the family of Lord Curzon, Viceroy of India She is now in the Seyms street jail.
 Her arrest is on a charge of stealing small articles from the home of John Dempsey, in Broadbrook, where she Worked as a dresSmaker, and whether she ever was governess in the family Of Lord CurZon, it is certain she has some wonderful silks, faces and jewels In her possession, for they were found oy the police when they arrested her.
 Several months ago Mrs. Herbolt went from Washington, this State, to Terryvflle, to be housekeeper for Chas. B. Baldwin. During her life in Terry Ville she went to church and made herself generally agreeable. talking somewhat of her travels, which she said had been extensive. She said she was born in Germany, and indeed, talked with a slight German accent. She had an excellent education, she explained, and went to Chicago, where she was governesS in the Letter family, going later to India as gov erness for the children of Lady Cur zon Miss Mary Leiter.)
 Mrs. Herbolt finally left Terryville and went to Broadbrook to work in the family of John Dempsey. The lat ter's sister was employed in Hartford during the week, and when she re- turned, after Mrs. Herbolt had gone, she found some things missing.
 In the meantime Mrs. Herbolt had gone back to Terryville and set up a dressmakerfnk establishment Deputy Sheriffs D. c. Heath, of Warehouse Point, and D. s. Wilson of Thompson vile, with Constable James l.. Emmett, of Terryville, arrested her and in her trunks were found articles which the Dempseys say are theirs.
 Mrs. Herbolt was charged with the theft of the articles from MT. Demp- sey's home, but refused to give bond and is now in jail awaiting the action of the Superior Court.

Tn. Sunny Side of Superstition.

The Sunny Side of Superstition.
 That there is anything genial, cheer ing or independently valuable about superstition may seem a tall state ment. The adjective generally associ. ated with it is dark" On the con- trary, there is something very bright ening about a four leaf clover. Who is not little more of an optimist for picking up a horseshoe: What lone ly farmers wife, stormbound on a winter afternoon, with unwelcome lei sure on her hands, but feels little quickening of the pulse as she drops her scissors and beholds them sticking up in the carpet or discovers that she has laid an extra place at the table? Company signs are the commonest and welcomed of all superstitions. The scissors, the needle, the dishcloth, the fork, the Saturday sneeze, all inculcate hospitality and reward it by an unex- pected visitor. If the needle slants as it stands up in the crack of the floor 1t foretells a gentleman. Run, young daughters of the house, and put a blue bow in your hair! Atlantic Monthly.

GOVERNMENT CLERKS
 TO GREET ROOSEVELT
tsrecial from United Press)

Especial from United Press.)
 Washington, June 14-The National capital will be a deserted village on Saturday. June IS. Cabinet officers, division chiefs and a horde of more government clerks will gather at the metropolis to welcome their seven year boss. Prominent among those who will go to greet Colonel Roosevelt are Herbert Knox Smith. commissioner of corporations; Lawrence o. Murray, comptroller of the currency: Assistant Secretary of the Navy Winthrop-all of whom were members of the famous Tennis Cabinet of by-gone days. and cherished memory.
 Captain Butt will carry a personal letter of greeting from President Taft. Commissioner of Immigration OKeefe and Charles P. Neill, Commissioner of Labor. will also be on hand
 Perhaps the most striking evidence of the personal popularity of Colonel Roosevelt is the number of applfca tions by clerks for leave to go to New York Strangely enough. at least half of the applicants are women. The prospects are bright for the attendance of many Congressmen - particularly as the House insurgents plan to be among on the dock when the steamer arrives.

A Custom of th. Balkans.

He or she who enters house for the first time is supposed in the Balkan countries to bring 1t good or bad luck for the whole twelvemonth. This be- lief gives rise to a curious observance. The visitor before crossing the thresh- old picks up stone token of strength) or a green twig (emblem of health and fruitfulness) and lays it on the hearth. He also brings with him some grains of salt, which he casts into the flames, and then. squatting by the freside. wishes his hosts "a prosperous year, a plentiful crop and many blessings" :" Then as the grains of salt burst and crackle in the fire he utters the follow ing quaint formula: ''As 1 am sitting. even so may sit the hen and warm the eggs. As this salt splits. even so may >plit the eggs of the cluck1ng hen and he chickens come forth"

 Mrs. Betts. as the woman was known was much attached to the man who accompanied her.

PUBLIC OPINION

sPIEA FOR SEA GOING LAUNCH. To the Editor of the Farmer:
 Sir-The article in last nights Far uer, "A Plea for Sea Going Launch ' for the Harbormaster' by George H. Wood, is indeed in time. to warn our Aldermen not to spend thousands of 6ollars to beautify just a one block street in the business center of-our city. but to spend it in the right di- rection. Our harbormaster should be equipped with beat ready to go out any minute; he should have an office, a storage room. in fact a harbormas- ter's building with dock. If the city has any guest coming by water we must land them on somebody else'S 9roperty Where is our pride?
 These are the views of a taxpayer who Is ever willing to pay his share towards improvements really needed.
