OLD STATE MANUALS
 TELL UNIQUE STORY.
MiddIetown Was Third City in Con-
 necticut Century Ago.

Judge John H. Kirkham of New Britain has recently come into pos session of a valuable set of books, twentythree copies of the Connect cut Register and Manual for years from 1894 to 1840. The little paper covered volumes were the forerunners of the complete and comprehensive manual now published annually by the state for free distribution.
 Nothing more interesting to one whose mind is of historical bent can be ina gined than 2 few hours for in- spection of these little volumes. Each thick and the pages are about four and a half by seven inches in size. They were printed in New London and sold throughout the State.
 Changes of Century. At this time, on the eve of the opening of Connecticut's legislature for the session of 1913, an inspection of the 1S13-1814 volume is most in teresting. The changes of a century in Connecticut are not realied until one takes some concrete form of con- parison such as this as a basis for thought.
 As is still the rule. the manuals first pages are given over to an almanac. Then tables for the com putation of interest, are given By a list on another page. it is learned that a century ago. John Cotton Smith was the governor of Connecticut, Chauncey~ Goodrich. lieutenant gov ernor; Andrew. Kingsbury. treasurer; Thomas Day, secretary: Elisha Colt, controller, and James Hillhouse, con- missioner of the school fund.
 To Prepare Address for People.
 A few pages of the old register are devoted to the Medical society of Connecticut. A report of a recent of the organization tells of the appointment of a committee to draft an address for the people of the state on The III Effects of a Free Use of Ardent Spirits.''
 New Haven Was Biggest Town.
 In 1913 New Haven was the big gest town in the state and Hartford's grand list was the largest. Middle town was third in population and grand list. Some figures of popula- tion are given below:

LATEST TACTICS CAUSE ANx-

TO AID THE BULGARS
servian Troops Arrive and Greek Fleet Puts in nAppearance-Turl>s RepuIsed and Driven to Bulair Forts.

London, Feb. s.-Some light is be- ginning to be shed by the brief official despatches, which contain almost all the available news upon the military tactics in the Balkan campaign.
 Turks Attempt to Land Troops.
 The reports of attempts on the part of Turks to land troops along the coast of the Black Sea and the Sea of Mar mora, which hereto<ere were learned only from unofficial sources, are now officially admitted, and it looks as thuail -I13lVer Bey's mysterious and des- some rumors, was an attempt to effect a landing at Charkeuf, about 35 miles to the southeast of Rodosto, with the intention to relieve the pressure of the Bulgarian attack on the Bulair lines.
 Attack Causing Turkish Anxiety.
 This movement of the Bulgarians, according to an uncensored despatch from ConStantinOple, is causing serious anxiety at the Turkish war office. It is now known that the allies are advanc- ing in strength against Bulair, and the Constantinople despatch adds that the Greek fleet has appeared in the Gulf of Saros where Servian troops are also reported to have been landed to lend assistance to the Bulgarians.
 TchataIja Lines Abandoned.
 It now seems clear that the allies have abandoned the attempt to force the IchatalJa lines In 1aVor or an at tempt to capture Gallipon peninsular, so as to open the way by sea to Con- stantinop1e.
 Buloarians Move Lines West
 According to Turkish reports, Turk ish reconnaissances have reached Tcherkesskeui and Tchorlu, which would indicate that the Bulgarians, who a few days ago were reported to have moved their headquarters to Tcherlkesskeui are moving their lines still further to the west.
