DAYLIGHT ROBBERY.
Thief Took Money, Check and Papers from Home of Mrs. w. L. 5urdiek in panielson-

A broad daylight robbery took place in Danielson Tuesday of this week, when a tramp entered the home of Mrs. Walter L. Burdicl1 and appropriated several dollars, a check on New Lon- don bank and some valuable papers, and then made a successful getaway. Mrs Burdick with her father and young son were crating chickens just before the robbery took place and were in plain sight of and about 100 feet from their door. Mrs. Burdick went Into the house at s.10 o'clock to get ready for town, and it was while s1e was in her bedroom. 1t Is thought, that the miscreant made his visit and took the articles, which were in handbag on the dining room table.
 A half hour later 1t was learned that a neighbor who was ironing at h@r window just across the yard saw a young man, about 20 or 25 years of age, enter, turn toward the dining room and come right out with some thing under his fll-htting gray coat The thief was short. probably leSs than five feet tall, broad shouyldered. and had a sandy complexion. Ills trouser swere dark and he wore a c3i- lar and tie with light colored shirt.
 The check which the thief took along with the other articles was drawn on the New London National bank. nada out by A. H. Eldredse. Fishers Isl- and. and was payable to Mrs. -Burdick.

 President Irv~in's Ssruuon.~
 When President Irwin looked out upon the audience Thursday evening he saw the largest sea of human faces in any evening gathering thus far He read a brief scripture story about the transfguration- He compared the ideal with the real. These are not so very far apart. Better build air castles on a sure foundation than be a bloodthirsty realist down on the ground After we have talked with Jesus we will have different ideas of Jesus, of ourselves and of the multitude. The discip, ss when on the mountain got so far out or themselves they saw no man sa ze Jesus only This vision was to be an inspiration, not a condition to remain in- So the Master led them down the mountain and there they found the task Of helping the sick before then. Vision and task should go together in the Christian life.

 The Political situation. Those who are watching political developments as they will have Dear | ing upon the fall elections throughout | the state and in towns in eastern Windham county are interested in the | fact that the pFogressives are not showing bit of activity in Putnam. where no person asked to be registered as a progressive at the meeting of | registrars recently to receive names | for the party caucus lists. while in the | nearby town of Killingly the progres-
 sives seem to be up and coming and | have registered 75 men on their eau | GUS list A similar range Of activity | and lack of activity in behalf Of the | new party is noted in other towns, the | combination being somewhat peculiar.
 Another thing that Is Interesting the politicians hsreabouts just now Is the campaign that is on for the dele | gates to the democratic state conven- | ton between supporters or Congress- man Mahan and Governor Baldwin Present indications are that the re- publicans here will be pretty well
 agreed upon what they are going to do l when they get into their caucus to se- lect delegates, although who the del- egates will be is not decided and prob ably will not be until cascus time The
 thing significant is that there is to be
 harmonious action.

The new High School building will not be used at the beginning of the Tall term as has been generally sup posed would be the case. At one time It was thought that at least partial ac- eommodations would be furnished tnere. but it has been decided not to go into the building at all until it is taken over in its entirety.
 This decision has been reached on account or the fact that the contract with the Fenton- CharnIey company calls for a forfeit for every day the building remains uneompleted after me 10th of August, and the committee rear that a partial occupation of the premises would keep them from de- manding the $25 a day forfeit.
 Other quarters will be arranged for at an early meeting of the school com m1ttee, and if it likely that the same rooms which were used last year in the town building will accommodate part of the classes The balance may be housed in the new Natchaug build ing for the first few weeks of school.
