 voters that Roraback is not the prop
 CT man to direct the policies of the state government they may run up a plurality which will surprise even the democratic candidates.
 Republicans who are not under Roraback's control are said to be dis satisfied with his leadership. They believe that he is a liability rather l than an asset and it would not be l surprising if he is informed that he is persona non grata. When the re- publican party starts to clean house | it can start with this reactionary | from Canaan who thinks in terms of twenty years ago. Unless the G. o. P.
 starts this house cleaning, it may find assistance from the democratic side
 of the political fence two yeart hence.
 The Observer got his little pencil out the other day and while waiting for reports of burst shells or blast ed hopes along the political battle front. decided he would investigate The New Britain Herald. His inves- tigations revealed some startling fig ures.
 Figuring on the present circulation, the width and number of pages, he speedily found that if all the New Britain Heralds printed in one year, were pasted end to end they would
 make pathway the width of page and 1000 miles long.
 Figuring on the amount of set mat ter in a year, advertising and read | ing matter both, reducing the same to | it's equivalent in lines and then plac- l ing those lines end to end, would reach 260 times around the world If the same papers, published dur ing the year were piled on top of each other, they would make pile six | and one half miles high Figuring on The Herald's 300 news boys and allowing that each boy Tn | the course of his work walks at least l mile and a half every day paper l is published, Herald newsboys in year walk 14o,l miles or practically l five times around the world / every year.
 The weight of these papers would l amount to about 6,552 tons, or enough to fill 21S 1-2 freight cars carrying 30 tons each.
 Allowing for boy who takes 50 lbs. of papers every day, each hoy would carr1 in the course of 8 year about eight and third tons of pa | pers.
 l i,,tn tp c- I tice Day window displays in the cityis l the full grown American eagle just received by Henry c. Chapman of SS | Court street, which is mounted and is on display in the windows of B. c. | Porter Sons. The eagle was killed | in Saybrook, 35 years ago. by a broth-
 CT of Mir. Chapman in defense of his | life.
 1 It was in the summer of 1887 John | Chapman, of Saybrook, was hunting 1 in the woods not far from his home.
 Suddenly large American eagle swooped down and sunk its talons deep into his shoulders. A battle fol- lowed which resulted half an hour
 later in the death of the bird and the ] disabling of the man. So badly in- jured was he that it was month
 before he left his bed and at least | six months before he was able to
 work. He was arrested on charge
 of killing an American eagle but was discharged on the grounds of self de- l fense.
 l Recently Mir. Chapman died and his mother with whom he lived and who
 is 91 years old, did not wish to keep l the bird, which he had taken home and mounted. Saturday it was ship ped to the home of the local man
 who will keep it in his parlor afterNit
 is taken from the Porter window. l Because of the many complaints re- ceived from people living in the Unit
 ed States Postmaster w. F. Delaney of the New Britain postoffice. has re- ceived word from the postal authori- l ties in Washington to refuse to ac- i cept for delivery all letters addressed kto the following companies in Mon-
